The Presbytery of New Brunswick de-
cided on Friday to accept the resignation
of Prof. Chas. w Shields from the Pres
byterian Church. The meeting was held
in the First Presbyterian Church, New
Bruins wick, and Rev. w. w. Knox,
as Moderator, presided. The professor,
in the last three years, has signed the
license application for the Princeton Inn.
There was no trouble from the church
until last July. when prohibitonist took
the case before the Synods and Presby-
teries
Dr. Shields appeared before the Pres.
bytery on Friday and obtained leave to
be absent during the trial, but late in the
afternoon, when the decision was about
to be given, he entered the church and
heard the verdict

apprehension of this action of the Presby-

to call the attention of our ministers.

Again DR.. Patton and DIR. Murray sue
cessfully objected saying that the resou-
tions should all be voted on separately
1t was then decided almost unanimously
to accept the resignation.
When the question of censuring DIR.
Shields was brought before the assembly,
much feeling was expressed by the Doc

to censure DR.. Shields indi vdually, but
to express disapproval of every one con-
nected with the church who expressed
tolerance of the liquor traffic.
This was passed by a vote Of 35 to s
President Patton, DIR. Murray and six
other friends of DR.. Shields voted in the
negative. When President Patton voted

and despite the request OF the Moderator
it was repeated at each vote cast against
the resolution.

the trial for the Presbytery, while DIR.

had stolen horse, committed burglary
or been in a street brawl. The defence
claimed that the Doctors action was
entirely justifiable.
Former President Cleveland, when seen
Saturday night about DIR. Shields trial,
would say little about the case, but
seemed pleased that DIR. Shields had not
been censured by the Presbytery. Mr.
Cleveland said that the action of the
! Presbyterian Church would not prevent
his signing the liquor license again under
similar circumstances.

AARON BuRR's FARMHOUSE.
The BuildIIrcr Which Is over a. Century
Old, Still Standing.


On the corner of Hudson and Charl-
ton streets is frame building which,
to critical eye, would seem to be
tumbling down, or rather would ap.
parently be if it were not held up by
the adjoining building. The window
frames, which once were square, are
quite out of plumb, dropping downward
on the south side. The ceilings are low
on every floor, and on the Hudson street
front the first floor, which is q little
above the sidewalk and reached by
few steps, has been transformed into a
couple Of small stores, while the en-
trance to the upper floors is gained
through a door OH Charlton street. An
extension has been erected on tbis side
to the main building so as to cover the
lot
The building was formerly the farm
house Of Aaron Burr and was located
on the top of Richmond hill, through
which Varick street was cut. When
these streets were laid ont, the old
farmhouse was brought down TO tho
road, which is now Hudson street, and
placed on a vacant lot then and now at
the corner Of Charlton street. Opposite
70 it was placed another frame house,
which had been removed after the great
fires Of 1885 and 1S45, from Chambers
street, where it was known rs the "Old
/ Brown jug This removal had been
caused by the extension Of the fra lin
its in the lower portion Of the city. A
few years ago the "Old Brown jug
building was condemned and torn down.
In its place a brick structure has been
erected. But so far the old Burr house
has been spared, for, although it is out
of plumb the building was SO strongly
constructed that there is little danger OF
its falling.
For many years the old house was oc
cupied by an old time Heather head
watchman, who, after his retirement
from that service, employed his time il
making leather travelling trunks whicl
he sold ON this conner, occupying thI
upper floors with his family. At hi
death, few years ago, the family, lik
many of those who formerly resided il
Greenwich village, removed TO the up
per part Of the city, and the buildinl
has since ceased TO be inhabited by ON
family. New York Mail and Express

of Regularity TO the Crook.
An old time crook stood on q Broad

late one night recently, watching a
young policeman trying the store doors.
The policeman did tho work with great
care and regularity.
"That's a careful "copper"" the crook
volunteered addressing man who was
standing few feet away.

he wants to gain the good opinion Of his

to do a job knows just where he will be

figure out just how long the coast will

The careful cop goes at his work just
like clockwork. Now, with what some
persons would call a bad cop it's differ

bad cops, the fly fellows that take big
chances and stay off post when the
roundsman isn't around. They can
never tell just where bad cop is OF
