smined again yesterday at the hearing before Com

that the statement justified by the facts. He
declared that several Justices of the Supreme

posed showing that Recorder Goff has disagreed
with his brother judges. that Judge Cowing. under

that. as the result of these proceedings Recorder
Gof was biassed against the District Attorney.
Mr. Deming began the cross-examination Of the
District Attorney. going into his military record in
great detail. declaring that this line of examination
was pertinent. He next took up the monthly meet
ings of his staff. which District Attorney Gardiner

done by them.
Mr.. Deming read portions Of the answer made to
Governor Roosevelt by Mr. Gardiner and asked the
witness II he considered those replies pertinent
Mr.. Gardiner said he did. considering the rambling
nature Of the charges. HIS reference his
cestry he deemed pertinent showing good char
acter and long residence in the city county of
New-York. Mr.. Deming took him back along his
genealogical tree TO the time of the Revolution
Mr.. Untermyer argued that Mr.. Gardeners great
grandfather was not on trial. but Mr.. Deming in
sisted that he had a right to show how Mr.. Gar
diner could legally be member Of the Society of
the Cincinnati. Mr.. Gardiner replied that he ac-
ouired that right through his mother and Mr..
Deming dropped the subject.
Asked about the failure of juries to convict for
violation of the excise law, Mr.. Gardiner said he
believed IL almost impossible obtain convictions
For nearly half an hour Mr. Demng questioned the
witness the Liquor Tax law until Mr.. Inter
nlyer interrupted to ask, rs this cross-examina-

CHURCH PROBLEM SOLVED.
"oLD FIRST" PRESBYTERIAN RAISES EN-
DowMENT FUND OF $4,000.

The conservation of the "Old First Presbyterian
Church. Fifth-ave between Eleventh and Iweiltn
sts found cause for congratulation In the MD
week meeting held last night. For some time the
old church has been struggling against the up
town trend of population, the same problem
which has bothered almost every downtown church
Some churches have remedied the declines In their
congregations by pulling up stakes and moving up
town Others have been unable to do this. and
have fallen into fnnocuous desuetude. few have
remained downtown and triumphantly survived the
migration.
The First Presbyterian Church determined to be-
come one of the latter class and it set about the
accomplishment OF its object by starting an en-
downent fund. which would insure the church s
financial future and enable 1t to continue its work
in its present neighborhood. Ernest E. Malcolm,
the churchs treasurer reported last night that
this fund already amounted TO $75,997 25. Receipts
for the year ending April 80 1900, aggregated s2S. =
637 2l and the deduction of expenses from TINS
amount leaves a balance of 1886 %.
The Rev. DR.. Howard Dufield pastor OF the
church. congratulated his congregation on these
ring like the notes of bugle They chronicle a
great success Outstanding notes have been re-
deemed, deficiencies of year ago nave been
covered every penny of obligation has been paid,
and the church closes its fiscal year without one
copper of debt with slight balance in the treas
month. and having accumulated during the last
years invested funds to the amount of $4,000.
The old First is grandly solving the problem Of

GERMAN MUTUAL GOES OUT OF BUSINESS
ITS RISKS ASSUMED BY THE NATIONAL INsUR-
ANCE COMPANY.

ANCE COMPANY.
The German Mutual Fire Insurance Company of
Newark has decided to turn its business to
the National Fire Insurance Company. Of Hart
with the Newark companies caused material fall
ing off in the business of the German Mutual, and
the directors concluded that 1T would be unwise to
continue. The concern did small business, most
y local, the risks amounting to about 100000.
The liabilities Of the company fully under
taken by the National of Hartford, and the losses
will be paid and the premiums received by the
latter company. 1t will take about three years at
the most TO wind up the liabilities of the German
Mutual. OF Its policies expire in less than
that time Its stockholders will receive back what
they invested. and if there is any surplus it will
be divided pro rata among them.
The decline of the insurance business in Newark
has been most marked of late, and 1t is due ac-
cording to insurance men, not only to the cut in
premium rates, which has greatly decreased their
income, but also the many losses and the gen.
eral depression of the business. Ross NJ. Wick
ham, the State representative of the National, of
Hartford. said to-day:
The rate war and the general bad times in the
insurance business have caused cut of at least 9o
per cent in the premiums since last July The
directors of the German Mutual thought it unwise
to continue business. 1t was explained TO me, ana
so have reinSured with us.
