RBV.J.D. ATKINSON DEAD.
The Well Known Methodist
Clergyman Passes Away
At His Home in
HaVerstraW.

The Rev. John Atkinson, d. D., the
welI-known preacher-author who was at
different times pastor of several Metho-
dist churches in this city, died this morn
ing at his late home in Haverstraw, N. y,
where he was pastor of the .Haverstraw
NJ. E. Church. Pastor Atkinson was sixty
three years old, and his death was caused
by paralysis. He had been suffering from
this malady for nearly year, but 1t did
not become serious until week ago. He
had been under treatment at the Clltton
Springs Santarium on several occasions
He leaves a widow, three sons. John W.,
James NJ, a lawyer in this city, and Dr.
Thomas H.. who is associated with DR..
F. D. Grey, of this city, and a daughter,
Katherine, the wife of DR.. Grey.
For the past several months Pastor At
kinson has been unable to attend his
pastoral duties and only preached on rare
occasions The funeral services will be
held at Haverstraw on Friday and the in
terment will take place at Princeton, N
j., on Saturday.
The late pastor was born at Dearfeld,
Cumberland county, N. j., in 1885, and
after the usual course of studies he en-
tered the ministry in 1851, when he was
only sixteen years old. Previous to his
coming to this city he was pastor of
several Methodist churches throughout
the State. In 1870 he was pastor of the
Emory NJ E. Church OH Belmont avenue
near Bergen, which was then only small
one-story building. 1t was under his d.
rection that the present editice was built.
Mr. Atkinson remained in the Emory
Church until 1874. when he was trans
ferred to the Trinity Methodist Church
on York street. He remained there for
about three years when he went to Chi
cago to take charge of one of the largest
Methodist churches in that city. He re-
manned in Chicago about five years, when
he came to Newark and took charge of
the Halsey Street NJ E. Church, where he
remained for three years.
Mr.. Atkinson was sent to this city to
take charge of the West Side Avenue M.
E. Church. For five years he labored
in this city and again he was transfer
red to Haverstraw, where he died after
having served nearly three years in
as hymn writer and author of several
books on Methodism. Perhaps the hymn,
I'VE Shall Meet Beyond the River was
his best work in that line.
Among the books on Methodism he
wrote are:-'Class Leader" Centennial
of Methodism," and the early History
of the Wesleyan Movement in America,
'4rhe Living Way Garden of sorrows
and History of Methodism in New Jer-
members of the Newark Conference. He
was an indefatigable worker and was
never known to take a vacation. 1t is
thought that is what hastened his DEATH
His death is mourned by all who knew
him in this city.

THE BULLY'S VICTORY.
[By Gable to The Associated Press.l

BERLIN, Dec. 8, 1S97.-The official ac-
count of the collection of an indemnity
from Hayti, accompanied by a salute of
the German flag, etc. at Port-au-Prince,
on Monday last, owing to the alleged il
man subject, says that after the ultima
tqm Of Germany had been delivered to the
Haytian Government, giving the latter
eight hours in which to comply with the
demands, the German cruiser Stein, which,
with the Charlotte, was sent to enforce
the contention of the German Minister
Count Won Schwerin, cleared for action
ana took up position close to the Hay
tian war vessels. Continuing, the official
report OF the affair adds, that diplomat
ic request for delay in the execution of
the ultimatum was refused and, half an
hour before the expiration of the stipu-
lated time, all the demands of Germany
We're conceded, and the sum insisted upon
as an indemnity ($S0,000 to be paid to Herr
Lueders), was on board the Charlotte be-

THE FOG DELAYS TRAVEL.
The Montgomery street Job Adds to
the General EncOnye nience.

One of the heaviest fogs which has Wis
tied this section this year settled down
over the river and harbor early this morn
ing The mist began to gather soon after
midnight, and at the early morning hours,
when the ferry traffic became the heav-
lest, it was thick enough to cut with an
axe. 1t delayed the boats on the Penn
sylvania ferries, and consequently caused
much inconvenience to the truckmen and
drivers of vehicles. The impossible condi-
ton Of the last block of Montgomery
street made the confusion worse and at
that point there was tangle of vehicles.
The police, however, managed to bring Or
der out of the seeming chaos, and keep
the teams moving as fast as the boats
came in. The boats ran only half hourly,
and it took at least twenty minutes to
make the trip across the river.
This, of course, delayed the departure
of the trains on the various railroads from
ten to twenty minutes although there
was no difference in the arriving of the

HOBOKEN AVENUE SEWER.
Work Done by. the street
. ster Con,naisaIonera.


The Board of Street and Water Commits
sioners are actively pushing the Hoboken
avenue sewer improvement, much 70 the
delight of property owners there who very
properly praise the Board for its action.
This sewer extends to Oakland avenue to
connect with the joint outlet sewer now
in construction known as the Ravine Road
sewer. Wien the sewer is completed it
will drain 275 acres and take in the entire
Hudson city section
The present sewer which runs down
Newark avenue to Jersey City, has long
been una Bile to do the work. The new
sewer will relieve the Newark avenue
sewer, which could not drain SO vast a
territory, and the consequence was over
flows. By the new sewer there will be
only about 35 acres for the Newark ave-
nue sewer to take care of, and there will
be no more overfiows in future
The engineering department are busy
preparing the preliminary map which viii
be fled on Monday next.

Four months ....... s4S, ,99o,S49 SS4,474,3


This is the comparison to which Mr..
Dingley so jauntily refers. We might add
that in its fifth month the Wilson law
produced $17, ,361, 600 customs revenue, in
its sixth s1S, $4,000, and in its seventh
S14. .929, 900, from which the reader will
perceive that there was quite as much
progression" in the Wilson revenues,
after the tariff was at work, as there mas
been or is likely to be under the Dingley
law. There was, moreover, good reason
why the Wilson revenues did not increase
still more rapidly. Inquiry has been mace
of u.s. why we do not plead for 'falT
tria1'' for the Dingley law, when we ASKED ASKED
the same indulgence for the act OF 1884
The reason is that the Wilson act was
passed in an hour when general trace
paralyzed by the wreck of credit in 1898
was at the lowest ebb in generation.
This is the familiar after-panlc expert
ence and the influence of such paralyzed
consuming power on the natural sources
of revenue not least of all upon the Gus
toms. is very great Many people be-
lieved the trade paralysis to be tempo
rary; they looked for some such recovery
as came in 1885, for instance, barely one
year after the panic of 1885, The expec-
tation was disappointed, chiefly because
of the congressional assaults on the public
credit But can Dingiey plead the same
apology? His interview appears on the
very day when the President points out
the '.felicitous conditions calling for
grateful acknowledgment to beneficent
Providence which has so signally blessed
and prospered US as a nation"

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. 8, 1Ss7.-As
Miss Flo Irwin, the star of the Widow
jones' Company, tripped on the stage
at a local theatre last evening in the mid
die of the third act. her foot caught an
electric light wire that had carefessly
been left exposed across the floor from
her dressing room to the stage.
She was so shocked by the current that
she tainted as she reached the stage. The
curtain was rung down and the perform
ance closed abruptly. Miss Irwin was
carried to her room. It required twenty
minutes persistent attention to restore
the ssWidow'' to consciousness, and it was
an hour later before she was able TO be
taken to her hotel.
