Shannon Company, which contains

successful play of American society, 'Ihe
Moth and the Flame at the Academy OF
Music tonight. Both the stars and the
play are favorably known to our local
theatre-goers from their previous engage
ment in this city.
It is a strong drama from beginning to
end. Striking and bold originality is its
KEYNOTE. 1t is logically, IL daringly, con-
structed; it pictures fashionable society
in the most brilliant comedy colors, but
a strain of tragedy underlies the current
of every human life. So it breaks into
the life of this play throwing shadow
as deep as fate upon the scene. The dia-
logue is crisp and witty, often cynical
and yet ringing so true that the spec
tator trembles under the revelation Ev-
erything during the performance happens
in such natural manner The actors
move about, talk, laugh, and suffer SO
naturally that an on1ooker feels as If the
play were going on in the midst OF his
own life. The presentation here will be
seen with the same company which has
characterized 1t for the past two years
in all the principal cities, and during It's

Captain Hague has been connected with

MRS. EYLER MUST GO.
Ex- Senator skirm Says Her

TRENTON, Nov. 6, 1885. Senator skirm.
who was foreman Of the Grand Jury
whdcs. failed to indict Mrs. Eyler. said
that for the good of all concerned she
should resign The Senator said Mrs.
Eyler was capable superintendent, but
that in the present conditions her resig-
nation was the best way out of the diff
Guilty.
HE declined to speak Of the proceedings
before the Grand Jury until that body
reported next Wednesday. He says there
was no evidence to convict Mrs Eyler in
the Katie Barlow case, and those upon
whom the Grand Jury relied for the con-
victing testimony could not give ii. That
was particularly the case with Mr.. Bishop.
who has been so energetic to get Mrs.
Eylers Indictment.
Foreman Slxirm declares that while he
did not condemn the woman for all that
had been charged against her, he was
sure that her usefulness as the head of
the school was destroyed The fact that
the Grand Jury had not indicted her gave
her a chance to retreat of her own ac-
cord because she was not under fire

Skirm are understood to reflect the real

Trustee Howell c. stull, of this city,

said that under the new rules the Execu-
tive Committee is now In supreme con-
troll of the school, and that as matters
progress all the changes necessary will
be made to remedy any troubles that may
arise.
Foreman Skirm is angered because the
secrets Of the Grand Jury room have
leaked out. and he has applied to Su-
preme Court Justice Gummere to make
an investigation for the purpose Of dis
covering who has violated his oath, and
that matter is to be considered on We'd

naturalized after a five years residence
In the state; but, as soon as the foreign
ers reached any considerable number the
naturalization laws were repealed entire-
". Later naturalization was again per-
mitted after a fifteen years residence,
with the consent of two-thirds of the
Beers residing in the district and also
of a military officer, which consent might
be refused without any reason.
In order to he naturalized every Ameri-

nor citizen Of any country whatever.
But 1t is in the Constitution OF the Re-
public that the bigotry and narrow-nino-

most plainly. According to that docu-

cred a strong plea for the Beers and their
cause. It is stated that the original quar-
rel grew out of the refusal of the British
to permit the Beers to continue the prac-
tice OF slavery and massacring the ma

This is certainly strong arraignment
and shows that the Beers are not en-
titled to any very great amount OF SYM

The first Of a series of meetings for men
In the down town section of the city under

in Humboldt Hail. No. 186 Newark ave-

Humboldt Hall was filled to its utmost
capacity, at once demonstrating the sue

the association to hold meetings in the
lower part of the city It Is evident that
much larger quarters will have to be
secured very soon to accommodate the
larger number of men who will attend
these meetings. No movement Of the Y.
M c. A. in recent years Is receiving such
a hearty support from the clergy of this
city.
The Educational Department of the
Young Mems Christian Association is now
well under way. On Thursday of this
week, class in electricity will be form

authority on matters of electricity has
been engaged for instructors. 1t is
probable that class in Spanish will be
started, as the enrollments have now

sAuERLahD ARRESTED.
He Insisted Upon Selling Liquor
without Liosuse.

Last Saturday, Chief of Police Murphy
learned that Anton Sauerland, who keeps
a saloon at Erie and Fourth streets, was
about to sell liquor Saueriand has ap-
piled for license and has paid the sum
of $3.50, for which he has the receipt As
usual, the granting of a license takes
considerable time on the part of the Board
of Aldermen, and in consequence, men
starting in the saloon business do busi-
ness on the receipt. Very few have ever
been interfered with.
In the case of sauerland the property
owners objected to the saloon in that To-
caiity. The objections were, however,
thrown aside and the receipt signed. Not
withstanding the fact that business is
done on receipts, it is against the law,
but as the license money has been paid,
nothing is said about going ahead. Chief
Murphy insists that Sauerland shall obey
the law.
After the saloon keeper had received
the orders from the police to keep his
place closed, he went right along seiilng
liquor to customers. Again word was
sent him to stop but no attention was
paid to it. Chief Murphy then took two
patrolmen, who were not known in the
precinct and sent tnem 10 tHS sAiOou "

and Sanders then placed Weisenberger
under arrest and charged him with SELL

STRIKE THREATENED.
Union Men Object to Police
men Helping Repair Head
quarters

Had Walking Delegate Conroy, OF the
Trades Union, visited Police Headquarters
early last week instead of this morning
he would have ordered the union men
employed in making repairs to the build
ing to strike. His action was directed to
the plasterers, who completed their Work
last Saturday and left the building. Con-
roy learned that the Board of Police
Commissioners was making several
changes IN the Gregory street building
He also learned that the work was being
done by Patrolmen Mccarthy, Moulton
and Bergman, who were detailed as paint
ers and carpenters for short time
1t was because of the fact that Nc
Carthy. Moulton and Bergman were nom
prompted Conroy to order all union men
employed on the work to quit.
Policeman Bergman who Is an expert
cabinetnaker by trade, has the super
vision of the work He is doing all the
carpentering work himself while Nc
Carthy and Moulton are painting the
bdi1ding.
The action of the Commissioners in de-
failing the policeman to do the work of
repairing was prompted by the fact that
the building was rapidly falling away,
and no money was on hand to make the
necessary repairs
When seen by a News" reporter this
morning, Commissioner Walter said:-
'tWe have changed some of our plans
The reporters instead of being sent up
stairs to the detectives room, will oc-
cupy Clerk Robinsons room. Clerk Rob
inson will have one of the rooms made
vacant by the removal of the Health
Board to the City Hall The Commis-
sioners will vacate the room now occupied
them and will also go upstairs to another
room. formerly occupied by the Board
of Health. Inspector Archibald will oc-
cupy the Commissioners old room while
Telegraph Superintendent Filey viii oc-
cupy the room vacated by the Inspector.
The detectives room will not be changed.
''The room made vacant by the repor-
ters will be used as kitchen by the city
prison keeper. The patrol house on Coo

both horses there instead of having the
one off duty stabbed in a livery stable.
The repairs are being made very rapid

before the place is put in proper shape.

undertaking. Ma reference was made to

This faction, IT will be remembered.
broke from the constituents of the Rev.
w. H. Green, of the Zion (Colored) Bap-

split was occasioned they said by the
"sacriligious tactics" employed by the
Rev w. H. Green and his adherents in
attempting to force their way into the
church building by breaking locks and
doors and interrupfing the services. Green
had been deposed by the swell element,
as they termed. themselves, and he was
very persistent in his endeavors to be re-
instafed against the wishes of those who
had seen lit to GUST him.
Repeated attempts were made by MIR.
Green to gain possession Of his old charge,
but he was not successful until about two
weeks ago, when he, with about twenty
OF his followers forced their way into the
church by smashing doors and locks. This
much the pastor admitted. Green gained

threatened to organize another church,
