went to the rear of the church, when

Now Greater New York.

New York, Dec. 31.--In spite of
threatening weather tonight the streets
throughout the city were crowded with
people, more so than on election night,
to see the New Year in, and the be-
ginning OF greater New York. Early in
the evening there w.s a parade from
Union Square to City Hall. The hall
was brilliantly Illuminated in designs of
different colored lights, having very
pretty effect. Long before mid
night the noise rung through the ears
# everybody so one couldn't be heard
talking. Promptly at midnight the
flag of Greater New York was raised over
the City Hall, then a hundred salutes
were fired by United States regulars,
making the earth trcmb|e nndcr the
tramp OF many feet around the park.
The fireworks excelled anything pre-
viously seen anywhere, no expense being
spared for the occasion. For an hour
after bright lights illuminated the
skies. Chimes OF Trinity, Grace and
many other churches were heard to greet
New Year and Greater New York. The
weather looked as though clearing about
8 O'Clock, but shortly after it began to
rain. At u snow began to fall. The
occasion was the grandest Of its kind
ever seen and will never be forgotten.

4 CAMDEN MANS DREAM.
Believes He Has Heard u Voice From
Across The Styx.
special to THE sun.

~lcca! to lHE sun.
CAMDEN, Dec. 31.-.John Griffin, OF
this town, had very pc uliar dream the
other night, and to anyone who has
faith in dreams it would have consider
able meaning.
lie dreamed he was dead, and while
roaming around in the spirit land met Il
certain cx x-sheriff, of Kent county, who
died some years ago, entered into con-
vcrsation with him about local mundane
affairs, and among other topics the
murder of George Farra, at Wilmington,
was discussed.
The ex-sheriff gave him all the parti-
culars of the murder and informed him
hat the man who did the killing was at
large but that the man for whom the
authorities are searching is dead and his
body is now lying beneath the waters Of
Christiana river, weighted down with
stones.
Mr.. Griffith says the dream was re-
markabiy vivid and is inclined to be-
lieyc it a revelation from the spirit land.
