The Rector Says He Never
Asked a Choir Boy
to Confess.

There nave been no new developments
since Saturday in Grace Episcopal Church
of Greenville, regarding auricular confess
sion. A News reporter interviewed the
Rev. Percival C. Pyle, who said, Sunday,
that as far as he knew there was no dis
sension in his church.
II don't remember ever having APP
preached a choir boy about confession.

compulsory. People nave scruples and
they come to me for advice" He added
thai he came from st. Marks Church on
Jersey avenue, which is very high church,
/ but whatever views he had formed on
the high church and confession he had
kept to himself.

we don't follow the Methodists nor the

Il am sure all is harmonious. but there
may be a little friction between certain
members because of the trouble in our
church some years ago. 1t was in regard
to the Rev. Mr.. Chapman, whom some
members wished to depose and who sub
sequently resigned"
The member who gave out the state
ment regarding dissension is in a position
to know the whole workings of the
church. He declared most emphatically
that several members are opposed to the
pastor and his ritualistic tendencies.

Nevarl's Plank Road Steal

The -magnanimous conduct of the New
ark people in offering Jersey City the
honor of pulling Newark's chestnuts out
of the fire for her, in the Plank Road
matter, is deeply appreciated in this city.
The road is used almost entirely by
Newark manufacturers, merchants and
expressmen, and the abolition of the tolls
would be a great saving to those worthy
citizens. To the people of this county,
the tolls are practically a matter of in
difference, as our citizens have very little
use for the road.
On the other hand, should the highway
become free, it's maintenance would fall
upon Hudson and Essex counties, and as
the greater part of the road is in Hudson
county the greater part of the cost. would
fall on US.
In this way the gentlemen of Essex will
save a large sum of money each year
which Hudson county will have to pay.

CLASS WORK CLOSED.
One Thousand Hands Idle Owing
to Boys Cheers.

Especial to The Jersey City News."1
BRIDGETON, Feb. 2S, 1S99-The hol-
lowware factories of the, Cumberland
Glass Works were closed last night, and
LOCO men and Boys are out of work. The
trouble was caused by Charles Hill and
William Larick, two tending boys, CIV
ing three cheers for Dennis Hayes, presi-
dent of the Glassblowers' Association.
They were Immediately discharged and
the entire force of tending boys imme-
diately quit work. The night shift fol-
lowed suit.
President Hayes sent a committee of
glassworkers to induce the boys to go to
work, but without success. Officers are
on guard at the works to prevent an
outbreak. Last night the boys marched
down to the hall where the glassblowers
were holding a meeting. 1t is thought
the matter will be adjusted today.

At a meeting of the eleven Assembly,
for the annexation of Harrison, Kearny
and East Newark to Essex was approved,
ON condition that a clause is inserted in
the measure providing for the submission
of the matter to a vote of the people-not
the people affected, the people of Hudson
county, but the people of the three towns.
This condition will be accepted by &he
people who are advocating the secession
movement, knowing, as they do, that in
such votes the affirmative almost always
wins through the care1essness of voters.
With the clause inserted. supported by
the eleven member from Essex, the bill
will have an excellent chance of securing
the endorsement of the Republican caucus,
and with this endorsement it will become
a law. unless its opponents bestir them
selves and get to work at once.
The damage which this bill will do to
Hudson county. should it become a law,
has been too often pointed out by THE
Jersey City News to be unknown to any
citizen of Hudson county. Every property
owner and taxpayer should be awake to
his own interests do all. in his power
to thwart this scheme of the IA of tax
dodgers and disgruntled ofiee-seekers of
the western part Of the county

MINks WANT TWO NEW SCHOOLS

A meeting of the Minkakwa Republican
Club was held last evening in the tenn
porary quarters on Ocean and Danforth
avenues. The members of the dinner
committee reported favorably. A list of
prominent speakers will surely be on
hand on March 1e. Governor VOORHEES,
will be among them.
The entertainment committee is pre-
pairing for a series of euchre parties to
be given shortly.
The members are all in favor of having
two new schools in Greenville, as pro-
posed at the conference Saturday night.
Resolutions were passed commencing

of No. 20 School for the prompt manner
in which accommodations were provided
for the children.

king Of the Opium Ring at the
Biiou.

A very sensational drama is the king
of the Opium Ring" by Charles A. Fay
lor. which began a weeks engagement
last evening at the Bijou Theatre. The
piece is replete with thrilling incidents
and the climaxes are so arranged that the
applause which follows is deafening- In
fact, the gallery gods could not get
enough. and the curtain was runS up
quite frequently for their benefit. The
piece is well staged and portrayed in a
fitting manner by a company OF well
trained artists. But the efforts of some
to impersonate Cinnamon were ludicrous.
The drama deals chiefly with life IN
chinatown in San Francisco, where a
gang of highbinders are carrying on a
smuggling business. Opium is their stock
i'm trade. Woven about this is a story
touching on the efforts of one, George
Macy, the King of the Ring. to ruin a
girl. while he has a wife living. 1t so
happens that his wife is the sister of his
Intended victim. The girls were cast adrift
when they were quite young. Their ia

During the play many interesting scenes
take place. The interior of a genuine
opium joint is shown. also a Chinese
theatre. Chinese quarters under ground,
and raids on these joints. Most amusing
were the climaxes of the first three acts,
in which every Chinaman on the stage
was arrested only to appear smiling each
succeeding act. However, the play will
be found interesting to those who like

TWELVE HORSES BURNED.
Murphy's Stable on Second
Street on Fire Early This
Morning--Three Escaped.

A disastrous fire, in which twelve
horses lost their lives occurred at an ear
" hour this morning. 1t completely de-
stroyed the livery and boarding stable Of
John S. Murphy, No. 1873 Second street. AL
but three of the horses persisted.
Eight of the twelve horses belonged to
Murphy. The others were boarders be-
longing to Adam Turks, August Tewes,
Charles Lau and j. Savacool. OF the
DATE, another is the property of Fred
Guiterl and the third belonged to S.
Gluckman.
One of the horses owned by Murphy
was a trotter known as John, valued at
$500. Mr.. Murphy estimates the loss of
horses that were boarding in the stable
at LOCO and his own loss of horses at
$4,000. His horses were fully insured.
The building, which belonged to him. was
also insured. About $500 worth of hay,
straw and feed was also lost.
The fire started shortly before two
o'clock this morning in the hay loft on
the second story of the building. Mur-
ply has no idea what caused the fire:
The stable was of brick. but was filled
with inlammable material. The flames
spread rapidly and soon the entire inter
ior of the building was in flames The
rescue of the, horses was made difficult as
they were all kept on the second floor.
The iremen We're quickly summoned and
did all they could to save the stable and
the adjoining building. In spite of their
efforts the fire spread to the building, No.
1876. which was, however, but slightly
damaged.
Fire Chief Conway said this morning
that the fire had been burning for some
time before the alarm was sent in, as
when he arrived the ventilator, which ran
the entire length of the building on the
second floor had been destroyed and the
employees of the Pennsylvania Railroad

of Music.
If the cr~Swagoflast evening continues
10 flock to- thS Academy of Music that
WIFI have to erect a family
circle" entrance round the corner. The
play was white Heather" Cecil Raleigh
and Henry Hafnilton's most popular melo-
drama, and the crowd waited fout
abreast. in one solid mass from the ticker
office the entire lengthtof the entrance
ito the great discomfort to those Hlore
fortunate individuals who had, taken hne
precaution to purchase tickets ahead ana
had to elbow their way through.
The play is in four acts and twelve
scenes. the most marvellous and awe
producing of which is THE waters under
the EARTH, or the scene in which Dick
and Lord Angus have a hand to hana
fight at the bottom of the sea. Dick COM
ing off victorious, only to die wneh
brought ashore.
Another excellent scene was that when
portrayed. both inside and out, the Stock
Exchange, while the final scene, hat OF
the fancy dress ball at Shetland House
was simply superb. In fact 1t IS douot1ui
if such fine scenic effects were ever pro-
duced at the Academy.
Of course Alice Fisher, as Lady Janet
Maclintock, was the star, and most
worthy of that position. Throughout the
piece she, carried herself with a care
less ease, born of royalty; yet quite
democratic enough to suggest the Amerl-
can female ~fnancier. Lucille Marrow was
also excellent as Marion Hume. especially
in the second act, where she comes oaek
to her father; while the acting of w. u.
Chalin. as James Hume, made the audl-
ence almost angry with the plot winch
introduces and kills him all in one act.
His portrayal of the Scotchman was per-
feet even to the dialect. Walter N. CROSBY
as Dick Beach was another character
whose part was too small for the artist.
At the end of the third act the entlre
cast of principal actors were called pc
fore the curtain amid loud applause,
while the Kisses which greeted w. Dun
can Preston, as Lord Angu cameron,
were a most truly earned compliment.

stance of the old story of the Legality OF
the Scottish marriage law, and 1t IS TO
prove her marriage with Lord Angus that
Marion Hume kills off three men ana
causes no end of trouble, however lnno-
Gently. In the last act Lord Angus dies
at the bottom of the sea, just as ms
sister. Lady Maclintock, opens her grand
ball. where the news of her brothers
death is brought. the marriage proved,
and the dance goes on.

Morning GIories" at the BON Ton.

The Bon Ton Theatre was well filled
last evening when the Gay Morning
Glories Company gave its second per-
formance at that popular vaudeville
house. The programme opened with Grant
and Grant, two up-to-date artists, and
their 'sturn' was appreciated. Madeline
Franks. the clever songstress, introduced
a number of new songs. She was heartily
applauded. Willis and Barron are a very
clever team and their sketch is a very
l%aughable one. The German comedians
Ward and Brown created a great deal of
amusement twisting up the American
language. The audience was kept in roars
of laughter.
The feature of the evenings entertain
ment is McPhee and Hill, the phenomenal
trip bar experts. Their performance is
wonderful The audience was not slow in
a~pplauding them for their work. Preston
and Balmaine in illustrated songs are
very good, and they received their share
of applause. The programme closes with
a burlesque, Red Birds at the Sea-
shore" in which is shown a bevy of pretty
girls with pretty costumes and fine scene
Setting. There are a number of specialties
introduced in the burlesque which are
very good.
