country's birth, and that the whole world
or at least that portion of its inhabitants
living in the neignborhood of Newark and
Chestnut avenues, might know of his in
tention, sevral weeks ago he placed a
placard in the wfndow of his barber shop
bearing the following inscription

Evidently the youths in the neighbor-
hood of Bonan's shop made the occasion
a rather unpleasant one for the patriotic

CHECKS WERE FORGED.
A Slick Young Man victimizes

A very slick, well dressed and affable

There is a standing order at the store to

METHoDIsTS in cHANcERY
Vice Chancellor Pitney Hears the
Bloomingdale Church Row.

Vice Chancellor Pitney was busy this
morning listening to testimony in the
case of Robert Fair against the trustees
OF the Bloomingdale Methodist Church OF
Butler N. J. Fair filed a bill to have the
word heirs stricken out of the original
deed of the church and the word u
cessors' inserted, 90 that his title to the
property will be good. The case grows
out of the factional fight which has been
going on for some years. On April To-
1S43. Martin John Ryerson, of Pompton,
gave to the Blooningdale Church the
property on which the church edifice
stands. The deed contained the WORD
aheirs's instead of SUCCESSORS, thereby
vesting the title to the land in the heirs
of he trustees instead of their successors
in office.
In 1891 the Bloomingdale church had 400
members. 80 of which lived In Butler,
Morris county, and SO In Bloomlngdale
Passaic county, the Pequannock River
dividing. In that year Richard Butler
conveyed to the trustees OF the ehurch
two tracts of land in Butler, about one
half mile from the Bloonlingdale church,
on which the trustees erected a parson-
age and chapel, in which they held ser
vices. In May, 1887. a committee was APP
pointed to negotiate the sale of the
B-loomingdale property for not less than
S2.50O. On November IS of the same year
q meeting was held to consider the ques-
ton Of selling uhe property. OF those
present 145 voted to sell and CT not to sell.
The property was sold to Fair and he
discovers the flaw in his title after he
taken possession. The minority which
opposed the sale are fighting Fairs PEE
tition. The witnesses examined today
were the Rev. Adam G. Conklin, the Rev
James B. Fauiks, former Presiding
Elder of this district: uhe Rev. Joh r.
Wright, the present Presiding Elder. and
the Rev. William Keefer, he present
pastor Of the Bloomingdale church. The
case will be continued tomorrow.
