Mr.. ALLEN UPHELD
His Congregation Refuses to
Accept His Resigna-
tion.
VOTE OF 1873 TO ee
One Of His Parishioners Says
the Pastor Requested That
He Be Allowed to Go.

By vote of one hundred and eighty
eight to sixty-six, the members of the
Bergen Baptist Church at Madison and
Clinton avenues, at special meeting held
last evening, refused to accept the resig-
nation of their pastor, the Rev. John G.
Allen. This session was called for the sole
purpose of acting on the resignation of
the pastor, rendered on Sunday mornings
October 49,
Mr.. Allen couched his resignation in
simple words and set forth no reason for
his action. At a meeting of the Board of
Deaeons held about two months ago it
was agreed that Mr. Allen should resign.
No official reasons were given out. But
it is understood that this course was pur-
| sued in the belief that it would promote
harmony among the church members and
revive interest in church work. Mr.. Allen
agreed to resign, and kept his word.
At the meeting last night there were
almost three hundred people present. 1t
was long after eight when the paster
called the session to order. His words
were few. He stated the cause of the
meeting and gave way to John B. Apple
gate, Sunday school superintendent. Mr..
Allen then left the meeting. Secretary Ar
thur E. Farrier acted in that capacity.
Mr.. Applegate also referred to the rea-
son for the assembling of church MEM
bers. Mr.. John Buckley Immediately
arose and moved that the resignation of
Mr. Allen be accepted. 1t was then de-
cided to call the name of each member
in taking the vote. Some opposed this,
but it stood.
The chairman refused to allow any dis
cussion on the motion. Mr.. Eugene w.
Leake appealed several times to be heard
but the chairman would take no notice
of him. This angered the opponents of
the pastor, who decided to make a last
stand.
This is nothing less than outrageous, .
screamed a member. Another termed it
the ''rankest kind of gag law" Other
equally harsh sentiments were expressed
1t took almost one hour to count the tall
lies and the result was 1888 to 66, favor
ing the rejection of Mr.. Aliens resigna-
tion.
Mr.. Allen refuses to discuss the matter.
A close friend said last evening that the
pastor would not stay, even though much
pressure had been brought to bear He
will in all probability accept a professor
ship at the American Temperance Uni
versity, Hartman, Tennessee
A member of the church said today that
the sixty-six who voted to accept Mr.
Aliens resignation should not be consid-
cred unfriendly to Mr.. Allen, as previous
to the meeting Mr.. Allen called upon
many of his friends and asked them to
vote to accept his resignation, and at the
meeting last night he publicly asked the
congregation to accept his resignation, as
he had a call elsewhere and thought it
best to leave This member said the
meeting showed great deal of enthusi-
asm for Mr.. Allen.

highly dangerous condition, menace to

SUFFRAG|ST OFFICERS

Especial to "The Jersey City News"l
MOORESTOWN, Nov. Is, 19OO.-Oficers

tive Committee of the New Jersey Wom-
ems Suffrage Convention, in the Town
Hall, were:-President Mrs. NJ. G. Sexton.

tary DR.. Mary D. Hussey, East Orange;
treasurer, Mrs. w. M Jeffery, South Or
ange; auditor. Mrs. May Bossett, sharps-
town, all of whom were elected later by
the General Assembly.
The reports from the Individual asso-
Citations showed about 225 individual mem
bers. The association resolved to double
its membership during the year.
The afternoons programme consisted of
an address, Women on School Boards"
Mrs. Mary v. Grice, of Riverton, presi-
dent of the New Jersey Council of Moth
ers; Question Box" conducted by Mrs
Carrie Chapman Gait; address, ''The
American Woman in the American
Home," Mrs. Florence Howe Hall; the
national suffrage bazaar, DR.. Mary D.
Hussey, chairman New Jersey bazaar
committee; unfinished business; adjourn
ment.
Mrs. Florence Howe Hall was the prin-
cipal speaker of the evening. Her ad-
dress was on American Women in
American Homes" In it she called at
tention to the increasing tendency of
American women to desert, sometimes for
years, their country and their homes and
to spend their time travelling over the
continent of Europe, in search of culture,
pleasure and amusement, and to rid
themselves of the troubles of housekeep-
ing
Mrs. Hall took especial pains to say that
she had no intention of condemning travel
per Sc, since all the world knows it is a
means of culture and refinement. She
thought, however, that it was evident to
all thinking people that our countrywom-
en- spend an undue amount of time in for
eign countries, while the men of their
families are left toiling at home, to pay
the expenses of these jaunts. Foreigners
are surprised at this state of things and
cannot understand it.
The speaker suggested that the true
remedy for this evil would be to educate
our girls with a greater sense of their
zens.
Train woman said she, Sin all
things that appertain specially to woman
ly duties, and give her the ballot. Teach
her also that she has duties to perform as
a citizen of our great and glorious coun-
try. So will you bring out the serious in
stead of the frivolous side of her nature.
She will see that, despite the petty annoy
ancee of American housekeeping, Ameri-
can woman must strive to solve the prob
lens of home-making. She will see. too,
that her best thought and noblest service
should be given to her greater home, her
country. The national housekeeping needs
the wit of women, combined with the
wisdom of men, to solve its puzzles, and
to sweep out the corruption and iniquity
which defile our great cities. Give the
ballet to the American woman and you
will keep her in an American instead of
in foreign home"

Thornton, Who Was Made
Crazy by Fright, Has
Since Twice Seem
ed Dead.
HIS INSANITY HEREDITARY
DR.. Lautmann Thinks His
Condition Was Hasten
ed by Fright.

Tnere have been a slight change In the
condition of William Thornton, the negro
who became crazy at No. ia Railroad
avenue, Tuesday night, upon finding him
self in the hands of two attendants OF
Speers morgue on his way to an ice box.
He is at the City Hospital and Is still
nopelessly insane and about to be sent
to the Insane Pavilion at Snake Hin.
since yesterday morning the unfortunate
man has twice lapsed into state OF
coma. Each time the period extended
from five to six hours. While In this
state the mans face lengthens percepti-
oly, the eyes remain open and protrude
and the respiration is very slight. The
skin becomes cold and the man has every
appearance of death. His appearances
might easily make one unversed in such
cases believe life extinct When not in
comatose condition the man yells as
loud as he possibly can and refuses to be
quieted. He makes sleep impossible for
the other patients
1t was found necessary yesterday in ad-
dition to placing a straight jacket on
Thornton to strap him to the bed. This
was done to prevent him infiicting any
injury upon himself.
The patient has taken religious turn
in his rawlings. He speaks of the beauties
of Heaven when he stops his uninteIligible
yelling.
DR.. Converse had not made any ex-
animation of Thornton up to late hour
this afternoon.
House Surgeon Lautmann has made an
examination of Thornton and he gives it
as his opinion that the man is suffering
with hereditary insanity, brought to the
surface, perhaps prematurely, by fright.

TOWNS TO COOP ERATE.
Mayor of East Newark Sug-
gests Cooperation With
-Kearny and Harrison.

The regular meeting of the Kearny Com
mon Council was held in the Town Hall
last night. A communication was re-
ceived from Edward Kenny, Mayor of
East Newark, as follows:-"To the mem
bers of the Kearny Common Council,
Gentlemen-Harrison, Kearny and East
Newark together make up a community
of 24,000 people. There are but ten cities
in New Jersey having a larger population
than exists in this tri-town community.
We demand certain necessities that can
not be supplied by each separate town,
but may be supplied for the mutual benefit
of all by the towns acting in concert.
Among these are a sewerage system, an
emergency hospital, an ambulance ser
vice. public library, a public high school
and public park for the people. 1t has
been my experience to know that these
necessities cannot be supplied by the re-
spectiye towns.
"They may be established by the three
towns acting together in the matter re-
ferred to and in other matters of equal
Importance. I would respectfully suggest
that the Common Council of Harrison, the
Common Council of Kearny and the Com
mon Council of East Newark meet to-
gether at some convenient time and place
to be designated by President Joseph Hal
Ter. of the Harrison Common Council,
Harrison being the oldest town, if this
suggestion meets with the approval of the
respective councils of Harrison, Kearny
and East Newark.
'And I would suggest that assent to or
dissent with these suggestions be commu-
nicated to President Joseph Haller of the
Harrison Common Council
The matter was referred to the council
as a committee of a whole.
