pail that will never lift; the sword has
been driven up to the hilt in the hearts
of these loved ones Let the cafe bear its
share of responsibility and be held by all
true men for what it is-a loathing and
CURSE
In addition to the above, DR.. Herr stated
that what he said was not done on the
spur of the moment. neither was it fancy.
He had carefully considered the matter
after consulting with the relatives of the
deceased and felt that ne would be up
held in the position he had taken. DR..
Herr remarked that the McIlroy family
had sanctioned his utterances relative to
the cafe. He stated that he knew 1t was
painful ordeal for the parents, but they
had consented to undergo this for the
benefit that might result from the re-
marks. DR.. Herr further said that he
would stand his ground and he did not
fear publicity. He felt for the parents of
Mr.. McIlroy, though. and had hoped, for
their sakes, that the matter would not
leak out
He would defend himself, he added in
conclusion, and only hoped that the pres
ent matter would drift away from the
McIlroy family and switch into a dispute
over the propriety of cafe in club. DR..
Herr stated that he might have something
to say if the club members took any ac-
tion.
A reporter called at the home fthe
McIlroy family this morning, but no one
was at home.
A prominent member of the club, who is
a member of the Board of Governors and
a business man of this city, denounced
Dr. Herr this morning as hypocrite and
a falsifier.
'It was the most absurd thing that ever
came from human lips and it was direct
ed, like the blow of an assassin, at a
time when no one could ward 1t or or
utter a contradiction of it. DR.. Herr
spoke, to. say the least, without any
knowledge of the facts and he worked
the large number of club members up to
such pitch that we all felt, not like
men who stand in the sacred presence of
the dead, with reverence but like mob
that Graves a fght-with DR.. Herr in the
centre and all blows aimed at him. II
anyone had risen to leave, 1t Is safe to
say that in two minutes not man would
have remained.
Those are not bitter enough terms to
apply to the case TO properly exxpress
my feelings. The idea of charging the
cafe of the club as the direct cause of Mr.
McIlroy's death and the club members as
murderers!
It is terrible accusation, and in 1t
DR. Herr includes George McIlroy, a
brother of the dead man. who Is now a
member Of the club, and John McIlroy,
his father, who was member of the
club up to few years ago and for two
years after the cafe was put in. John
f. Dumpf, the dead mans father-in-law,
is also q member of the club. Rest as
sured the matter will not drop here. Tt
is more than likely that the affair will
get into the courts.
''It is a terrible shame for Dr. Herr to
consign Mr.. McIlroy to drunkard's
grave in the fashion which he did We
all know that Mr. McIlroy was rather too

foolish at times, but for a minister to
publicly denounce him as drunkArd In
such way and to say that death was
due to drink is horrible.
Does he Mean to say that McIIrey was
not called by the Lord? DeeS7he mean
tcasay that here was a death that oc-
cusred without the Lords knowledge and
against His will?
Altogether, it was most horrible and un-
called for and shows only the true char
acter of one who processes to be q min
lister of God.''
Mr.. D. B. Day, one Of the eldest meme
bers of the club. said that It was very
unfortunate that DIR. Herr should have
spoken as he did and that he showed Very
bad taste. 'It is likely that all places
where drink can be had are not to be ap-
plauded, but the cafe of the -Jer-
sey City Club does not do any great
amount of damage" said he, most as-
suredly not as much as Mr.. Herr's roe
marks would lead one to believe. All the
walters are under instruction not to sup
ply with drink anyone whe is under the
influence of liquor, and these orders are
lived up to very carefully"

when the Supreme Court Of Illinois made
unfavorable rulings against the Glusoea

Illinois courts as shown in rulings against
the Whiskey Pool, Glucose Trust and
other so called monopolies is said to have
so angered the officials of these and othsr

that there will be more removals in the

ed that Robert Davis had done more than
any other man in the commonwealth, In
his capacity as a local leader, to cement
and strengthen Democratic sentiment.
The speaker limited at plan that had
been evolved by Messrs. Gourley, Davis
and others that would bear fruitful re-
suits in the next campaign, and If so it
could be accepted as gospel that equal
laws, equal rights and justice would pre-
vail in State and nation
Charles c. Black, member of the State
Board of Taxation, gave a very learned
dissertation on the Taxpayer and His
Obligation in response to toast OF that
caption In the course of his remarks
he hit upon the subject of equal taxation
and declared that the great Leon Albeit
was twice elected Governor Of the com
monwealth on that issue. To ignore the
principle, he declared, was crime; Tor
the Democratic party to do so meant de-
feat.
'sCollars and Cuffs was the toast to
which Alexander c. Young responded and
although he declared he knew but little
about the subject, he got off a good many
pleasant local hits and wound up with
sound Democratic speech that ELECTED
such remarks as You're all right, Alex!'
sIt was sound doctrine!'' from even con-
servative businessmen who sat near him.
Mr.. Young was followed by Dr. G. C..
Hendricks, whom the brilliant toastmaster
took occasion to mildly roast before in
PRODUCING him as minister, doctor, law
yer and soldier But the doc got back
at him before he finished his response to
the toast, CORPUS Delecti and Other Old
Things
Captain J. Gordon Emmons responded
to 1.-The Day We Celebrate and, like all
the others, except Mr.. Black, failed to
confine himself to his subject. But he
told lot of good stories and, being an
elocutionist, the stories had !" telling"
effect.
Congressman William D. Daily was down
Interests but left early with some of the
invited guests. His place was taken by
Judge Thomas F. Noonan, who admirably
filled the bill.
George Martin and Peter Kennedy en-
livened the toasts by the interspersing of
number of well sung vocal solos.
Robert Davis, in response to repeated
calls, made short speech, thanking all
who had contributed to making the cele-
bration a success.

A GIGANTIC COMBINE
EASTERN RAILWAYS UNITING.
Planning to Do Away with All Competi-
tion Between Chicago and the. sea-
board-Ton-Thousand Agents to he
Discharged.

Chicago, Jan. 13-As Il result OF the
recent consultations and agreements
among the owners of the great trunk
railways east of Chicago, the entire
transportation system between the
Mississippi river and the Atlantic sea-
board is to be re-organiZed, involving
the following changes.
The abandonment of the city ticket
offices of all of the roads in the syndi-
cate In the lending cities, and the sub
stitution Of Joint offices in each city;
the discharge of 10000 city, general
travelling and district freight and pas
senger agents and solicitors; the aboli-
ton Of all forms of commissions. This
will affect the income of 10000 agents
and eliminate the scalpers.
The establishment in Chicago and
New York of joint auditing agencies
that will appOrtion to each road an
agreed percentage OF the total competi-
tive business.
The discharge OF all supertiuous as
sistants to- the heads of departments OF
the individual roads. Later the heads
Of these departments may be abolished.
The establishment in New York of
board OF control made up Of persons
representing the Vanderbilt. Pennsyl-
yania, Morgan and Hartman proper
ties.
ules for passenger trains between Chi
cago and New York; between all the
principal terminals of the combination
roads in the territory east of st. Louis.
The abandonment of all fast freight
trains and the fixing Of common time
for these trains between competitive
terminals.
Following are the roads now in the
combination:
New York Central, Boston e. Albany,
Boston Il Maine. Fitchburg, New York.
New Haven & Hartford, Erie. Lehigh
valley, Lacknwanna, West Shore, New
York, Ontario L. Western. Rome, Wa
tertown & Ogdensburg, Lake Shore,
Michigan Central, Nickel Plate, Balti-
more Il Ohio. Lake Erie 4 Western.
Monon, Pennsylvania and all auxiliary
lines of these systems.
When all details for the future man
agement of the roads in the eastern
combination have been perfected, the
leaders In the consolidation movement
will turn their attention to the territory
west of Chicago and attempt TO bottle
up the Chicago-St. LOuis-ROcky Noun
tain country In like manner.
The Tribune to-day says:
I'm order to carry out their anti-com-
mission agreement, II is proposed now
to combine all the railroads in the
country into a big passenger pool and
operate 1t In such way that each road
Will get an agreed percentage Of the
earnings. BY such action no possible
profit can possibly accrue to any of the
roads by Ignoring the agreement. Any
road that should manage to get more
than Its allotted proportion would have
its labor for it's pains, us the profits
would go to the competing roads which
have failed to carry their proportion of
the business,
