Louisiana. one in Texas. one in Kansas.
one i'm Wisconsin, and one on the Pacific

s. 1891 10 form a national Baptist
young peoples organization. The com
mittee met pursuant TO the call, some
$500 delegates attending from thirty-five
States, besides from Canada, Africa, and
Australia.
An organization was effected constitution
adopted, and officers elected The object.
as stated in the constitution, was TO Sc
cure the increased spirituality OF our Bap-
list young people; their stimulation
in Christian service; their edification in
Scripture knowledge; their instruction in
Baptist doctrine and history, and their
enlistment IN all missionary activity
through existing denominational organi-
cations.
The movement spread very rapidly
everywhere, particularly through the
North Central States. Soon the name
Baptist Young Peoples Union became a
household word. Everybody knew OF it;
unions were organized with remarkable
rapidity; Christian EndeavOr societies
changed their names to Baptist Young
Peoples Union. The time and the de-
nomination seemed ripe for the organiza-
ton.

The second annual convention met In
troit, fourth at Toronto. fifth at Bal

her and shield him as much as possible
from the just penalty Of his crimes.
Now let us look at the other side of Mr.
| Voorhees, as a public ervant. In the
Middlesex Court, yesterday, two mer
were convicted of the heinous crime Of
selling policy slips. Atplea for mercy was
made for one of the convicted men on the
| ground that he was suffering from an in
| curabla disease. This plea threw Mr.
Voorhees, into a fit of righteous indig-
nation. He started out on a rhetorical
flight upon the great curse of policy play
ing, which he declared had grown to be
a gigantic evil in New Brunswick. He
graphically drew a picture of the men,
women and children ruined and the homes
wrecked by the utter wickedness of
spending a few cents a day on policy
slips and demanded that the our deal
severely with the accused.
This was too much ever for Judge
Strong and he rebuked Mr.. Voorhees, for
his unseemly zeal. He showed how much
he was affected by the protector of
Valentines hypocritical appeal by giving
the policy man a light sentence. 1t is
only in the ranks of the Republican party
you find such things as this particular

Christie Accuses Political Leaders Of

Fourteen enthusiastic followers of the

President G. R. Christie was in he
chair.
He discoursed at length on what he
would do if elected Sheriff. incidentally
he scored William Waldorf Aston for de-
sorting the land of his birth and Richard
Croker for emulating the example set by
Mr.. Aston in spending most OF his time in

Assistant Prosecutor Van Wrinkle

makes this explanation of why the indict-
ments against the Western Union Tele-
graph Company and local Manager
Bartholf. in connection with the green
goods business, were nolle pressed
The trial of the Western Union indict-
ments awaited the passage of a statute
drafted by myself. with the assistance of
Chief Murphy, and introduced by Assem-
blyman Benny at my request. This sta
tute passed the House but not the Sem
ate. Under the Telegraph Companies
Act an employee of a telegraph company
may refuse to give any information as to
the contents of messages, even apparent
ly though authorities differ, in a criminal
prosecution. Without such testimony q
prosecution Of these indictments were in
abative. Such a statute could be applied,
If enacted, to pending indictments, be-
cause it would relate to matters of proof
only. In the police court the employees
of the Western Union Company were in
structed by the counsel of the company
not to answer pertinent question as to
messages and their contents. and the
statute / speak Of was accordingly pre-
pared, but, unfortunately, not enacted"

ROWDIES AT THE JUNCTION
Undisturbed They Hurled Tor
pedoes at a Waiting
Crowd.

A crowd of sports on a special New
ark trolley care made life miserable for a
big crowd of passengers waiting at the
Junction for a Court House car, about
nine o'clock last night. The passengers,
among them many women and children,
were grouped on the north side of Com
munipaw avenue when the gayly deco
rated car reached that point. bound for
the lower part of Grand street near Sum
init avenue. where there is a switch lead
ing to the Bayonne tracks. About forty
men were in the car laughing and shout
ing wildly.
Apparently with a view to frightening
the crowd. several men hurled a dozen
big torpedoes the size of an egg right
in the midst of the people. The reports
were very loud. and the small pebbles
from the exploded torpedoes scattered in
all directions, striking people in the face.
A number of children were hit On the
head and all howIed with pain. The men
laughed at the scattering crowd and con-
tinued to hurl torpedoes right and left
at the people. Many protested. but no
policemen were in sight and the rowdies
were allowed to continue their rowdyism
until the car left for Bayonne.

The Middlesex Sort Of Voorhees,.

Mr.. John S. Voorhees,. Prosecutor Of
the Pleas of Middiesex county. appears
TO be as fine a specimen of Republican
hypocrisy as car be found in this State.
The undue haste with which he accepted
a plea of non vult from Valentine. the
Perth Amboy bank wrecker, and ac-
auiesced in his light sentence. aroused the
Indignation of the citizens of the State.
The storm OF condemnation, which fol-
lowed, would have overwhelmed any one
except the pharisaical Prosecutor OF
Middlesex. All the effect It had upon him
was to draw out the statement that IN
doing ais he did he saved the count the
expense Of a long trial. The statement
contains nothing in reference to the fact
that this undue haste was exercised IN
order to get Valentine sentenced and
safely in prison before the fun measure
Of his villainy should become known.

SLOAN not IN IT.
Former President Of D. L. &
W. Denies That He Wants
Truesaale' sPlace.
"RUMOR" WAS A FAKE
Veteran Trainman Questions
the Motives of Papers That
Print Such Stories.

More rumors, fakes and tales Of vari-
Gus degrees of yellowness have been
printed recently concerning the affairs OF
the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad thai have ever before been
brought to public notice. Nearly every
day denials of stories printed a day or
two before are published. 1t has reached
such a point tina trainmen themselves re-
fuse to read the bulk of the rot in cir
culation.
One of the latest "big moves" reported
in the affairs of the company was hoored
by the denial made yesterday afternoon
by Sam Sloane, the veteran trainman,
that he contemplated again seeking cleo
ton as president of the D., L. y W MT.
Sloane was interviewed in his.New York
office. No. 1871 Broadway
81 did not intend to seek election as
the President Of the D.. 4. & W. The re-
port to that effect is nothing but pre-
sumption on the part of someone who evil
IDENTIFY thinks he knows more about my
affairs than l do myself. It is true the
dismissal of so many old employees Of the
road being made by the new manage
ment is distasteful to me. ] have wen
gone so TAR as TO feiitOfSlldtS -
successor, President T~ruesdale, but it has
done no good. But then he is President
now. and he has a right to exercise MS
udgmen in such matters. I resigned the
Presidency of the road voluntarily and
would not accept it again if it paid me
500, 600 a year. Truesdale is now receiving
$751; 900 for his annual salary, s5,00 more
than l received while President"
Mr.. Sloane. who is over eighty years
old, seemed to be amused with some OF
the reports in circulation concerning the
road and while he was talking to the re-
porter he smiled frequently. He said that
about three-fourths Of the stuff printed
since the new management has taken
charge of the road is untrue n he ex-
pressed a curiosity as TO the motives
many of the papers had in printing it.
Investigation in Hoboken likewise fails
to reveal any foundation for the current
reports Of dissension existing among the
employees of the road. AS far as can be
learned there IS no likelihood Of a strike
now, neither has there been any since the
new management has taken control.
