via Falkland Islands and the Straits Of
Magellan, stopping for coal at Bahia. Mon
lendo. and Callao. and at the Falkland
Islands to exhume the body of the late
Rear Admiral SPOTS, who died at Port

RELIGIOUS WORK IN CUBA.
General Morgan Addresses tn,
American Tract Society.


Services commemorative of the seventy
fourth anniversary of the American Tract
Society were held last night in the First
Congregational Church. a brief outline OF
the work of the society was given by the
field secretary, Rev. Judson Swift. The ad-
dress of the evening was made by General
Morgan, former Commissioner OF Indian
Affairs, WHO spoke concerning recent
visit made by him to Cuba. calling special
attention to the vast opportunity for the
work of the American Tract Society in that
island at the present time.
According to Mr.. Swift the society has
printed and distributed 100000 periodi-
Gals during the past year The total num-
ber of pages of religious literature which
has been disseminated by this society since
its inception reaches the enormous figure
of 213 GOO, ,000. The coiporteur work of the
society is also one of great Importance,
| over 15,000.000 visits having been made
during the past year in sparsely settled
communities Of the country.
General Morgan's visit to Cuba was part
ly in connection with the work OF the tract
society and in his address last night he
gave vivid description of the character
! of the people in that island and their cry
ing need for religious enlightenment. The
| island. ne said, was at the present time un
| dergoing a great revolution in its political
social and religious life.
1t is the opinion of General Morgan that
the United States should maintain its pres
ent form of military government over the
| Cubans for at least ten years. He said there
| was an intense desire among all classes
for liberty. In their great anxiety to gov
| ern themselves there was a tendency to ape
| the corrupt Spanish Government. which
had so long held sway over them. For this
reason he maintained that We should take
| up their burden, establish schools, and by
our example in every way inculcate princi-
| pies of enlightened civilization among this
misguided and oppressed people.
Returning again to the opportunity for
| Protestant missionary work General Nor
gan said that as a result of the rebellion
had lost greatly in its hold upon the Cuban
people. The priests had in all cases stood
by the Spanish Government, and as a re-
suit many Catholic churches in the islands
were today wholly without congregations.
| In one town the people have offered TO
| turn the church building over to the
| Protestant denominations if they would
establish services therein.
The possibilities for religious work in
| Cuba were limitless. The island has a
! population today. as nearly as can be es-
timated, of about one and a quarter mil
| lion people. 1t is capable of maintaining
| in General Morgan's opinion, al least ten
| million. He predicted that the future
growth of the island would be largely from
| the United States. In summing up. he
urged the necessity for establishing pub
lie schools and distributing the literature
| of the American Tract Society among the
| people of Cuba.

JOHN DooDY ACQUITTED.
His Wife Charges Him With Prepar-
ing to XIII Her.

John Doody was tried in the Special
Sessions Court today for assault and bait
terry on his wife, Maggie. The evidence,
if true, developed the fact that but for
the interference of the boarders, there
would have been another first class Hobo-
ken murder. Mrs. Doody testified that on
the night of December 80 her husband
made elaborate preparations to kill her.
He had been drinking since Christmas
Eve, she said On Inat night he went
out about nine o'clock and returned about
eleven After telling his wife that he
would do her Up that night, he made a
collections of deadly weapons and took
them to his bedroom. The collection con-
sisted of an axe. a carving knife, ham
mer, potato masher and a billy. Mrs.
Doody was frightened and when her hus-
band ordered her into the room to go to
bed, she refused to go.
Then Doody fastened the. folding doors
with a piece of wire and dragged his wife
into the room, but she escaped through
another door into the room of one of the
boarders The racket was kept up until
three O'Clock A. M, when Doody was ar
rested.
Doody denied that he had threatened or
Intended killing his wife. He simply wan
ed his wife to leave the room where she
was sitting with two boarders and come
to bed Judge Blair acquitted the de-
fendant.

INSURANCE FRAUDS.
Joseph M. Noonan Wants the
Indictment Against Mrs.
Jennie Havens Quashed.

Judge Blair heard argument this morn
ing in the General Sessions Court on a
motion made by Lawyer Joseph M. Moo
nan to quash an indictment against Mrs.
Jennie Havens, Randolph NJ. Smith and
Joseph A. Fisher, for conspiracy to de-
fraud the Colonial Life Insurance Com
pany of America out of $175. The allega-
tion in the indictment is that the defen-
dants made application to the company on
September 8 for an insurance policy on
the life of Admoran J. Havens, the hus-
band of Jennie Havens. 1t is alleged that
at the time the application was made Mr.
Hayens was very i'll and that Smith told
him when the examing physician made
the physical examination of the appli-
cant. Smith was found to be a good,
healthy man, and the examining ply
sician had no hesitation in recommending
him as good risk.
A policy for $3.50 was issued on September
19, and about two weeks afterward the
company was notified that Havens died
in September go Mrs. Havens, the ben
eficiary, made application to the company
for $175. The regulations of the company
dies within six months of the date of the
policy the company is responsible for only
one-half of the insurance. Haven's sud-
den death excited suspicion, and an in
vestigation led to the discovery of the al
legged conspiracy and the indictment Of
the defendants
Mr.. Noonan contends that the indict-
ment is defective. Prosecutor Erwin mainz
tanned that it is good in every respect.
Judge Blair reserved decision.

NEW YORK, Jan. II, 1899 At the Muh-
lenburg Hospital, Plainfield, N.sJ., it was
said today that Engineer Rick who was
injured in the Lehigh Valley collision, at
West Dunellen, and who was reported in
very low condition last night was now
somewhat improved. The Porco baby was
also slightly better, although the infant
remains in a critical condition. There are
still seventeen of the injured in the hos
pital, and none of them will be able to
leave for some days,
Some friends of Martin keenan,, from
Hackensack, called at the hospital this
morning and settled the question beyond
doubt as to his identity. He is the fa-
ther of the two small children, Marie and
Martie keenan,, who are now at Hacken-
nan had been killed in the accident, and
his friends at Hackensack did not feel
satisfied until they had seen him alive
in the hospital.
Three more of the dead having been
recognized as Theodore Steckler of Mount
Carmel, Miss Pariski Ditski of Shenan-
;doah Pa, and Patrick O'Donnell of
Shenandoah. there are now no more
bodies unrecognized.
The Middlesex County authorities seem
to be- waiting for the railroad company
to complete the investigation before taxi
ing any action in the case. The officials
of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company
are said to be conducting an investiga-
