The washingtonians Meeting.

Desuite the bad weather last evening
there was a REFUSING meeting of the Wash
ingtonian society at the Free street Bap-
tist church. The well-known choir OF
the church rendered some fine selections
after which the pastor, Rev. 1. s. Sam
son read from the scriptures and offered
prayer. Rev. T. S.Samson, who was the
first speaker, spoke with force and elo-
oueucs, He said We are ali Of US now
familiar with the facts of the organlza-
ton of the first WashingtoGian society
of 10 years ago. The new society is the
old ons revived and broadened. The
need of just such society in our city
Is recognized by the general public.
This movement is unquestionably ex-
tending IT'S influence throughout the city.
The platform is oIe upon which we car
all stand, minister and people. Ine
clergy of the city have taken hold Of
this work heartily and we know that
great good is being accomplished.
There is no sectarianism or politics in
it.
Capt. George II. Blake was then intro
daced. Mr.. Blake said, the Portland
Nashingtonian society presents itself in G
txo-fo1d way TO the public. First il
directs it's force to those who are under
tie power of the drink habit, and by rea-
sun, illustration and persuasive. tries tc
win them from habits Of drinking to
habits OF total abstinence. Second, it is
endeavoring to create public opinion
against the drink habit. The power
Of concentrated units was forcibiy illus
tratea. When this society shall show
upon its rolls the thousands of church
members and others who lore their fell
lows, there will be felt an influence that
will strike all along the line. He
made an earnest appeal for all to lend
&. hand III the WORK.
Rev. s. 4. Pearson gave some touch.
iDg illustrations of the evil effects OF the
drink habit as samples sof what is con-
stantly flowing to NJ. He read a
number of letters receivsd recently and
said that upon investigation each case
resulted from the craving for strong
drink.

MINING BOOM In HUNTERD0N.
Iron Mines to Re Opened al West
Portland al Once.

Especial to The Jersey City News."1
FLEMINGTON, July 2s, 1S97.-West
Portal Hunterdon county, has a big min
ing boom. New York capitalists have
obtained large tracts Of land and will be-
gin mining iron at once. Saturday two
hundred Italians. were landed. Two car
loads of tools ave also arrived. About
400 more workmen will arrive in a day or
two. The iron, which is said to be in large
quantities, and of excellent quality, was
discovered on Swayze's mountain, near
West Portal. The gang of workmen who
are under the supervision of D. w. Loose,
will commence at once to clear away the
underbrish and trees on the mountain,
n then the work of mining the ore will
in earnest. 1t is reported that
the mines will be run similar to those of
Wizard Edison's up in Morris county.
An oven with a baking capacity of one
hundred loaves of bread daily has been
constructed. 1t is expected that the COM
pany will erect extensive buildings for
the manufacture Of various articles.

ELECTRIC LIGHT VAGARIES
Five Minute Spells of Lightning and
Darkness ON The R~oulevnrd.

AS early as six o'clock yesterday morn
ing a crowd of workmen were busy fixing
the Boulevard, by scattering a fresh top
dressing over the spots which the rain of
the past few days washed off. The whole
Greenyille and Bayonne sections were
fixed by twelve o'clock and presented q
very fine appearance which gladdened the
hearts of thousands of cyclists, who were
out enjoying the beautiful weather.
Those electric lights O the Boulevard
don't seem to be in perfect working order
just yet. After being lighted last even
ing they treated Boulevard habitues to
alternate five minute spell of light and
darkness for at least fifteen minutes be-
fore they consented to burn steadily. A
very extraordinary thing happened at
Danforth avenue and the Boulevard last
evening, when the lamp at that part fail
ed to light. A young fellow who had
been standing on the opposite corner
walked across the street n kicked the
pole on which the lamp is fixed several
times, when suddenly the light blazed
forth. Similar treatment was applied to
the lamps opposite St. Johns Church.
but it failed to work. This particular
lamp has not been of any use for the
last two weeks.

NENARK'S TAX RATE.
Probably Not Higher Than Last
Yeaf--VaIuations In
creased.
Especial to .sThe Jersey city News.a

Especial to .eThe Jersey City News."1
NEWARK. July 26, l8s7.-It is probable
hat the meeting of the County Board of
Assessors at the County Court House to-
day for the purpose of fixing the county
tax rate will, as usual, b. disturbed by
a disagreement between the Newark
members of the board and the Orange n
township members over the disproportion-
ate share Of the county tax imposed upon
Newark. The work of fixing the valua-
tons by the assessors in the different
municipalities was practically completed
last week. The Newark Tax Board made
public the figures Saturday. The total
valuations, real and personal. are S37 ,042,-
4s1. and an Increase of $3,53s, 100 over last
year. In a number Of the townships the
valuations as fixed by the Assessors this
year would not be given. The increase in
the county outside of Newark will be
81, 464,0 900. This will make the total valua-
ions in the county, including Newark
1892, on. 900, against sls6.9S7, 600 last rear, a
gain of s5,023. 900.
On the basis of these figures h city
tax rate will be $l-se on the 500, the same
as it was last year. OF this amount the
county rate will be a fraction over sixty
four cents on the Sl0o. Last year the
county tax rate ws 1888 on the $500. The
increase this year in h county rate is
due mainly to the larger appropriations
for park bonds. The city rate is a frac-
ton under $1.32 on the 500. Last year
the rate was $1.3617. The decrease this
year in the city rate is due to the larger
valuations fixed by the Newark TAX

WOULDN'T STOP TIE ORGAN.
Bayonne People want an Injunction
for a Merry.Ge.Round.

CharleseT 7. Mum of Bayonne. better
known as Charley among sporting men
and politicians was in Chancery Chambers
lis morning to look after a little applica-
ton made l.. D. Mackie nj others. which
if granted would mean many dollars out
of Charley's income.
Sometime ago Mum set up a big merry
go-round to the delight of the children
the CONSERVATION of the adjoining
neighbors. 1t wasn't enough they said
that crowds should be drawn in that
place., but the noise of the steam hurdy
gurdy made night hidious and them howl.
These %neighbors appealed to Charley, but
he was obdurate and so they instructed
Lawyer Anderson to get the mighty arm
of the Court of Chaneery to stop the
grinding of that cussed instrument.
Vice Chancellor Emery said he could not
order the instrument stopped because it
had not been shown hat it was a
nuisance in the meaning of the statutes
and he denied the petition, but said that
Mum must not v that organ playing
earlier than one o'clock in the afternoon,
nor later than ten III the evening.

Ths KIsndike Balance sheet.

One OF the ~ewspape this morning
contains the somewhat startling state
ment that no more gold is taken out OF
Klondike han is put into it. This is
probably true. We hear of several mil
lions being brought home in ships and
we hold up our hands in establishment.
We do not stop to figure up the cost. Yet
it is easy to do SO.
We are told that it is necessary for a
man TO have about $1,000 to make a sue
cessful venture in the gold fields. and
again we are told. by way of example.
that 1900 men will start thither this week.
Thus we have an investment of $1,000, 900,
and it is at least problematicaI whether
these two thousand men will bring back
among them any such sum.
Probably not half of them viii return
at all. OF the rest, fully half win come
back as poor as they go. A few will
make large fortunes, and it is out these
few cases thu the Eldorado fables will
continue to be constructed. The history
of all great gold discoveries is he same.
A few great fortunes and a vast amount
of disappointment, suffering. loss and
death make up the net results.
After a while the mines pass into the
control of capital. Organization and
machinery take the place of chance and
individual toll. Then money is made and
the sum total of the worlds wealth is
increased; but not sooner.
