turning From a Fire.

An alarm of fire was sent in from box
81 at 13:4o yesterday morning, by Chance

the east end Of the Delaware. Lacka-
wanna and Western Railroad tunnel. The
engines were unable TO go down Ravine
avenue owing to the snow. which had
drifted to a depth of ten feet in some
places. Lines of hose were stretched
from Palisade avenue, In front of School

considering the difficulties they had to
contend with. the iremen had it under
control. The damage was very slight, a
lamp exploding was the cause.

Vice Chancellor Pitney, a few days
ago, had before him a suit in which the
Mechanics Lien law came up and the

appear that His Honor criticized the
opinion OF the Court of Last Resort. Such
was not the case. The Vice Chancellor
criticized the act of the Legislature as
every constitutional lawyer does, and
said nothing about the Court of Errors.
So many distortions Of cases have re-

Mr.. COx'S FAREWELL.
The Assistant Tabernacle Pas
tor Preached His Last Ser
mon in Jersey City
Yesterday.

M
The Rev. sydney H. o preached his
farewell sermon, last evening, in the
Tabernacle, on Henderson street, to a
full house. It was Thanksgiving Service,
and, sitter some appropriate exercises by
the children, Mr.. Cox rose. behind a
barricade OF advertisements for H-O,
Holmes & Coots' XXX, Bakers Choco-
late. and various other signs with which
tie manufacturers see fit to label their
goods. Mr.. Cox first read a preliminary
statement, embodying about the same
reasons for leaving Jersey City as con-
tanned in his resignation. and rciterat-
ing the assertion tina his relations with
the Tabernacle and Mr. Seudder had al
ways been of q pleasant character, with
no disagreement whatever.
The sermon was the seventh and last
Of a series on 1.-THE Church of the TWEEN
tieth Century three Of which the pas
tor, on account of his present call, has
been compelled to~skip.
In speaking Of his theme, Mr.. Cox said:
THAT labor questions, great national
issues, and the morals OF politics belong
as much TO the preacher Of Righteousness
as the sermon at the Mount or the doc
trine Of hell. Taat the church Whicn re-
fuses thus TO broaden us scope Is either

NEW PASTOR INSTALLED.

The Trolleys and the Storm.

Gaturday's severe storm taxed the Trac-
ton Company's resources to the utmost
vfliantly did the officers and men fight
against superior odds, and they were
fiaally obliged to yield for a brief space
10 forces against which it was impossible
for human agencies to contend. Trouble
began at seven O'Clock Saturday evening
and at midnight it was practically inn
possible to force the motors through the
huge masses of snow which covered all
the lines, and cars were stalled at vari-
Gus points along the lines.
Much of the trouble was due to the high
wind which, as soon as the sweepers
cleared the tracks, blew the snow back
upon them. Another cause of difficulty
was that the blizzard coming so early in
the year anticipated all the c~ompany's
precautions against such an occurrence.
Such a storm as Saturday nights is not
generally loked for in November, or even
in December. Snow often comes, but, as
a general thing, it is not serious, and
soon after the fall is over, the tracks are
as clear and in as good working order as
they are in summer. The storm was
severe enough to test the most thorough
preparations to the limit, and, of course.
it was too much for anything like incom-
plete means of combating its effects.
AT any rate, the officers of the company
showed great energy and skill, and early
yesterday forenoon sufficient cars were
running to carry all who cared to ven
ture out of doors on such a day. This
morning the service is fully as good as
the public could expect.
h fact that the company kept its cars
running at all is in pleasant contrast
with the state of things in New York.
where the underground trolley gave out
early Saturday night, and then stayed
frozen up indefinitely. The final problems
of street travel have not yet been
solved, but we nave the consolation Of
knowing that we are as nearly up to
date as any other community.

A special from West Chester dated yes
terday says:
"At St. Agnes Catholic Church yester.
day afternoon most impressive marriage
ceremony occurred. and tho bridal party
made an exceedingly pretty picture as the
bride and groom and their attendants
knelt at the altar to plight their tro,h and
receive the benediclion from the pastor,
Rev. S. b. Spalding; Miss kathyrn H.
Coady, Of Wilmington. The bride wore
an exceptionally becoming gown Of white
organdie, with veil and wreath, and her
maid OF honor, Miss Nellie A. Myers, of
Philadelphia, cousin, was nttirad neatly
in material Of the same sort with pink
satin Trimmings. John Il. Sssptoe, Of
Wilmington. was best man. Tho church
was lhronged by the friends Of the happy
couple who had como to witness the cere-
mony.
The ushers, who performed we'll their
task of seating tho large number of invited
guests, and looking after the comfort and
the convenience Of tho parishioners gen.
orally, were Ed. McFadden, Daniel Ford,
William Ford and james Farrell.
As soon rs the ceremony had been per-
formeG, 0he bridal company entered cabs
which swiftly conveyed hem to the home
of the bride, where reception was hold
from O'CLOCK until late in tho evening
Shortly 0(1r 10 o'clock Mr.. and Mrs.
Coady left Tor tho station, 20 take train
for their new home at WILMINGTON. where
they will begin housekeeping. They were
followed by company OF about twenty Of
their friends, armed with rice AMI gibbons.
During the evening many beautiful
presents were seen, enough in fact to fur
nish house, as all the guests and many
who could not DO in attendance, had con-
tributed literally In the way of o;lRings.
Those preselt were: Miss Slepfoe and
Mrs. Coady, mother OF the groom, of Will

That silk may be produced from certain
mussels or shells Is fact long known,
but only recently renewed attention was
called to tho matter by the receipt at the
Berlin Royal museum Of pair of golden
brown silk gloves made of byssus silk.
This silk Is Obtained from the small silky
tufts protruding from tho byssus shell,
which they use for holding fast to the
ground or rock under water. This fiber
Is silky, and changes in color from green.
ish yellow to dark brown. Tho single
threads are from two to three inches long,
and after being cleaned and dried they are
spun into yarn.
Byssus silk woven into material Is still
great curiosity, for the supply Of ma
terlal is SO scarce that industrial develop
ment of the manufacture Is out Of the
question. Only In certain small settle
ments OH tho coast of Sicily there is some
effort to work with this material, the
shell used being the so called Pima.
Fishermen tear tho shells with nots from
the. rocks, and, after QUITTING tho tufts, re-
turn them to basins Of shallow water
The tuft will grow again within n year.
Ii takes between 5000 and 1000 shells to
obtain pound Of the fiber. Pittsburg
