that time very few Episcopalians lived
in Greenvflle, but those residing there
determined to organize a church and the
meeting was an enthusiastic one.
The first business transacted after the
adoption of a constitution and bylaws
was the election of a board of vestry-
men. Those elected were:-Dr. Bernard l..
Budd and Mr.. J. C. Seymour, wardens;
John A. Schuyler, Lewis B. Bruen, J. Il,
Pidgeon, D.. Reynolds and Henry Seymour.
The first service was held at the home
of J. C. Seymour on Sunday evening,
January 81, 1864. William G. Hughes,
postulant and lay reader under the Rev.
F.. Putnam, rector of st. Pauls at Ber-
gen Point. officiated. Services were acid
atgthe homes of the different members for
| about five months after the church was
| organized. Finally an old building stu
| ated in the vicinity of Old Bergen Road
| and Danforth avenue, which was formerly
used for factory purposes, was secured,
and after much time had been spent in
altering it the first service was held there
| on June 13. 1864. The Rev. Mr.. Galaudet,
| of st. AIMS, New York, oficiated in the
| morning, the Rev. Mr.. Putnam in the
| afternoon and the Rev. Mr.. Jaeger Of
Bergen Point in the evening.
The new church was then christened
Grace. Mr.. Hughes continued in charge
| of the parish as lay reader until October
%. 1864, when the Rt. Rev. William H.
Odenheimer. Bishop of New Jersey, or
dained him deacon. He was called as
rector-elect on April 25, 1865, and on May
5 of the following year as rector of the
parish. which position he resigned on
| September 5, 1867, after serving almost
four years. The following ~rectors have
succeeded him:-The Rev. John r. Mat
thews, called April 20, 1868. resigned Octo-
Der 20, 1869; the Rev. Frederick NJ. Gray,
October "a, 1869. resigned November p.

cival c.. Pyle was called in 1896 and is still
in charge.

Americans Taking Leading Part In
Arbitration Matters.

The Hague. May 2s-The drafting COM
mittee or Subcommittee of the arbitra-
ton committee met today and discussed
the Russian scheme, adopting with slight
notifications the first six articles.
Count Nigra, chief of the Italian dele
cation submitted proposal of mediation
and arbitration consisting of six articles,
in the form of an amendment to the Rus
sian project
The Americans also submitted an
amendment demanding that in the event
of dispute between two nations. each
should choose another nation to act to-
gether as arbitratOrs to settle the dif-
ference without blOOdshed. This must not
be COMPOUNDED with the proposal for a
permanent arbitration tribunal, which
the Americans will introduce during the
week.
The Italian proposal includes a clause
providing that mediation and arbitration
shall not stop mobilization or preparations
for war. Neither the American nor the
italian amendment has yet been discussed.
The naval and military sections of tina
committee met today and
exchanged ideas in a desultory manner.
The impression gains ground that the
outcome of this committee will be Drac-
tically nil.
