THEIR ILLS WASHED AWAY
Faith Curists' Meeting Closes
With the Immersion of
Several Believers.

Not one of the fifteen annual camp
meetings and convocations of the Faith
Cure Believers, or members of the Church
of the First Born, held in the Mount Zion
Sanctuary, at the foot of Chapel avenue
facing the New York Bay, was as sue
.cessfuI as the one which came to close
Saturday night An average of two hun
dred people were in attendance each of
the ten days during which services We're
held, and on Sunday of last week, some
eleven hundred people were present.
Scarcely a day has passed but that some
baptisms have taken place, and some
thirty converts were immersed. Some Of
the stories told by many who profess to
be cured, are little short of miraculous.
Many have testified that they have been
entirely cured of many seemingly incur
able ailments.
Saturday was the last day of the SER
vices held in the Sanctuary grounds, and
delegates were present from adjacent
cities. Owing to the cool and threaten
ing weather. services We're held in the
chapel, the canvas tent having been
abandoned three days ago. All the morn
ing was, as usual, taken up with Scrip
ture reading. and in the afternoon testi-
monies were heard. Two candidates were
immersed at high tide. about five O'clock
During the process of immersion, the con-
gregation stood on the shore and sang
hymns. led by Sister Antoinette Jackson.

chapel where the services We're brought
TO q close with prayer by the Rev.
Martin Hancox.
The scenes attending the services at
Mount Zion yesterday were very much
like those on the camp meeting days. Yes
terday'S services brought to close the
summer services al Mount Zion, and a
very large gathering was present. The
congregation, as on the day before, met
in the chapel Baptisms took place about
five O'clock and six candidates were led
into the waters of the bay and thrice
lowered beneath the waves by the pastor
the PASTOR and she also carried crutches
She even took the crutches into the wa
ter with her, but after having been inn
mersed she came on shore and threw the
crutches away. She shouted for joy and
made various exclamations thanking the
Lord for deliverance from pain. She had
been suffering with rheumatism in its
worst form.
The whole congregation then sang
hymns The other five, two men and three
women, also claimed to have been cured
of some ailment.
A thing which annoyed the converts
and Pastor Hancox was the number of
camera 'fends" who We're on hand to
snap the pastor as he baptized the can
didates. One day last week he refused to
baptiZe until the amateur Photographers
were nut out of the grounds. One chap,
however, hired a boat and rowed out into
the bay, where he took pictures at will.
Some We're on handN yesterday, but met
with considerable difficulty in trying TO
snap the baptizing scene. They were not
allowed within the grounds and had to
stand on the shore, great distance

WANT MORE SEWERS.
Citizens Ask to Connect With the
Ravine Road System.

.Iohn Nolan and John yetter, of the West
Hoboken Common Council, and Corporation
Counsel Gus Rich of that town, waited on the
Street and Water Commissioners today and
asked that they he allowed to make another
connection with the big Ravine Road sewer.

Hoboken jointly. 1t drains enormous terri
tory
1t has just now been discovered by the West
Hoboken officials that large territory in their
town limits which is developing rapidly is
without sewerage facilities. The most feasible
plan of draining the territory in question is by
connecting with the Ravine Road sewer, which
can be done by the construction of a lateral
sewer not more than four blocks in length
The Street and Water Commissioners refused
TO make any definite answer 10 the request
until the West Hoboker people show just what
territory il is proposed to drain and also what
compensation they will make this city for the
privilege asked The Street and Water Com
missioners are not averse to granting the
petition provided the West Hoboken officials
Will agree to maintain and keep clean the en-
tire Ravine Road sewer. Another conference on
the subject is to be held next week.

BREAK IN THE WATER MAIN.
No Water on Upper Floors OF Big
Buildings.

A serious break occurred in the water
main, in Seventeenth street. at the foot
Of the hill this morning. The break did
not affect the supply to any great extent,
except in high buildings, where it was i'm
possible to obtain any water on the top
iloors. The break was patched up as
quickly as possible under the supervision
OF Chief Engineer Van Keuren.
Before It will be possible to furnish a
fun supply two new lengths Of pipe will
have to be laid. 1t will be Wednesday
morning before the new pines can be
placed into position and sufficiently Sc
cured to stand the necessary pressure.
Nothing was known of the break until
the foremen of factories, which are de-
pendent upon the Seventeenth street pipe
reported that there was a scarcity of wa
ter. Searching parties were at once set
out AS soon as the break was located
side connections were made SO that a suf-
dcient supply could be obtained to pre-
vent the suspension of business in fac
tories. Too great pressure caused the
break. North of the Erie Railroad all the
water pipes are small and of an inferior
quality. They are to be removed as soon

WE LA REVISION.
Cheers in Paris Greet the
Ministry's Decision
Rochefort's Scream.


PARIS Sept. 26, 1S9S.-At meeting of
the Cabinet this morning all the Ministers
being present, decision was taken in fa-
yor of = revision Of the trial Of former
Captain Dreyfus and the documents in the
case will be sent to the Court of Cassa-
tion

istry Of the Interior, where the Cabinet

Brisson ..Vive la Revision
The Cabinet ordered the Minister of
Court of Cessation the petition of
Madame Dreyfus, wife of the prisoner of
Devils Island, for a. revision OF her hus-
bands case. The Court therefore, will
decide the legal question as to whether
the first trial of Captain DreyfuS was
Svitiated by the. forgery committed by the
late Lieutenant Colonel Henry who was
a witness before the court martial and
who confessed to having forged a docu-
ment in the case.
The Minister of Justice has announced
8ceedings are to be taken Immediately
against anyone attacking the army.
Henry Roehefort, in his paper. the In
5transigeant, today, accuses Major Es-
terhaZy of having been bribed by the So
called Dreyfus syndicate to ..cover him
self with dishonor by confessing to a for
gerry, Of which charge he was twice ac-
quilted. NJ Rochefort adds, that he
paid Esterhazy one thousand francs for
copies of all the documents in the case
and that, in addition, with two other
newspaper men, he paid Esterhazy, who
was literally without a centime, three
hundred francs monthly to prevent him
from dying of hunger while waiting to
obtain pension.
Continuing, M. Rechefort remarks: -
Recently without any apparent incen-
tive, ISsterhazy mysteriously went to
London, abandoning his three hundred
francs monthly Why, this emigration? :?
Who paid for his journey? With what
money has Esterhazy paid for his
rneals?',

CROSS WALKS ON BERGEN AVENUE
Mayor Hoos Sends Another CONS
piaint About the Garbage Rumor.

Mayor Hoos today sent the following
communication to the Street and Water
Sept 2s, 1895.
Honorable Board of Street and Water
Commissioners. =
Gentlemen-My attention has been di-
rected to the condition of Bergen avenue.
between Communipaw avenue and Oak
street Residents of that section conn
plain of the absence Of crosswalks and
also of the manner in which the contrac-
tors for removing ashes and garbage and
sweeping streets execute their work. They
state that the ash carts invariably follow
the street sweepers, and Immediately at
ter the streets are swept the ash carts
make their appearance and scatter refusS
all along the street which has just beeE
swept This defect could easily be rem
edied by an arrangement whereby the
ashes and garbage should be collected
just before the street is swept. Cross
walks should be laid at the earliest pos
sible moment, and / trust that your Hons
orable Body will give these two mat
tiers immediate and proper attention
Yours respectfully,
EDWARD HOOS, Mayor.
