George Cawley, an English butler, living at

in the Yorkville Court yesterday with
disorderly conduct, sought to excuse his
actions on the ground that he had
mixed his drinks at a little jollihcatlon held

from drinking the wines with more generosity
than judgment.

NEW BROOKLYN TROLLEY SCHEME.
Fulton Street TO he Relieved or Many OF 10,
Car Lines. o.

President Rossiter of the Brooklyn Heights
Railroad Company has decided upon q plan
which he believes will relieve the present con.
Restion Of traffic in Fulton street. where the
trolley cars crowd upon each other. His scheme
is to use Vanderbilt avenue and Jay street for
cars that shall run direct to the bridge. AZ
present the Nassau Railroad Company Is the
only opo which runs cars on Vanderbilt avenue,
and tho Coney Island and Brooklyn company
alone uses Jay street. Both these companies.
however. use some tracks OF the Brooklyn
Heights Railroad in operating cars across the
bridge. Curves and switches for making the
new connections have been ordered. and within
n month it is expected that these will be in posi-
ton. so that within sixty days Fulton street
will be relieved Of many cars.
Many Of the Fulton street and Putnam avenue
cars. after leaving upper Fulton street, win run
to the bridge by way of Vanderbilt and Park
avenues. Some OF the cars on the Fulton street.
Gates. Putnam, Flatbush, and Third avenue
lines will be switched from Fulton street at Jay
street and reach the bridge through Concord
street. 1t Is expected that tho through oars on
the Fulton street and Putnam avenue lines by
using Vanderbilt avenue will save from five to
ten minutes on their trips to the bridge. o
President Rossiter does not think there will
be any opposition on the part of property holders
to his company using the tracks of the other
companies.

JUBILEE WEEK FOR BAPT1srs.
CousreEatios or the Parmly Memorial Church
pc Celebrate Its Fiftisth Anniversary.

Courreratiou or the Parmly Memorial Church
pc Celebrate Its Fiftioth Anniversary.
Tho celebration of tho golden Jubilee Of tho
First Baptist Church of Jersey City was begun
yesterday and will continue for a week. Tho
church is now known as the Parmly Memorial
Church, 80 named in honor of tho Rev. Wheelock
Fl. Parmly. who became pastor on Sept. !, 1854,
and occupied the pulpit for hirty.threesyears.
The church obtained its charter in 1888, but ten
years prior to that the few Baptists in the place
had held meetings in the house of James Howe.
The place was then known as the town Of Van
Worst. TIE Rev. Jonathan Going. d. D., editor
of the american Baptist, and afterward Presi.
dent Of the Dennison University in Granville,
O., preached to the small congregation at meet
ings in private houses. At a council Of Bap-
fist churches in this city on March IL. 1888, 1t
was voted to recognize the First Baptist Church
of Jersey City and Aharsimus. In the previous
year Cornelius Van Worst offered TO the small
congregation a site for a church building. but
with the condition that abolition meetings
should never be held in the church. The offer
was declined.
The church suffered for many years from the
agitation of tho abolition question. In 1912
there was a split In the church on this account.
A number of members seeded and organized
the First Baptist Church of Jersey City. One of
the articles of the incorporation read: w be-
lieve that a slave holder or one who traftics in
human beings is not a ut member for a gospel
church, and that it would be sinful for such a
church knowingly to suffer one to sit down and
commune with them" The church organized
with thirteen members, and in eight years the
membership was more than $50. In 1s4s tho
church was reorganized, and absorbed two
Baptist missions. Several pastors served
prior to the advent of the Rev. Mr.. Parmly, in
1854. The church prospered wonderfully dur.
became the mother of several other churches,
notably tho North Baptist, the Summit Avenue
baptist. and the First Baptist Church of Der.
gen. At the end of his thirty.three years ser.
vice the Rey. Dr.. Parmly was made pastor
emeritus. The active pastors since then have
been the Revs. O. J. White, H. b. Steelman, 7.
+. HeisiR. Claude Haboteay, and William f;
Chalmers, the present pastor. DIR. Parmly died
about three years ago.
The jubilee services yesterday consisted of a
praise service In the morning conducted by the
pastor, and a Sunday school anniversary in the
evening at which II. r.. Doherty. Phi. D., pre-
sided. Services will be held every evening this
week.
