MRS. BARKER READY.
She VIII Not Plead Techn-
icalities If Mr.. Keller
Sues.

Several of the friends of Thomas G..
Barker took occasion to reply tooay to
the statement of the Rev. Alexander
Mann, archdeacon of the Newark Episco-
pal diocese. as to the difficulties which
the Rev. John Keller would encounter in
the effort to prove himself guiltless of the
accusations made by the prisoners VIE.
Tney one and all said that Mr.. Keller
could have the matter thoroughly slften
by instituting a suit for SANDER, and they
denied emphatically that Mrs. Barker
would in such an event, seek the protec-
ton of the law on the ground tnat the
charges were embodied in privilege 1
communication to her husband.
John Sumner, who was Barker's bonds
man, when shown Mr.. Mann's statement
today said
'Archdeacon Mann proposes half a
dozen different courses in order that the
truth should be known, but to every one
ne sets Up some objection. You can state
positively that Mrs Barker will not take
advantage of any technieality or set up
the plea that her charge was privileged
communication.
IF Mr. Keller will institute a suit for
slander or defamation of character she
will meet the case squarely.
81 have read the archdeacon's state
ment," said J. A. Stowe. Mrs. Barker
viii not take advantage of any technl-
cality in suit for SANDER. While for
merly she might have shrank from re-
cital of her story, now that Mr.. Barker
is anxious for the truth tc come out, and
in view of his present fortunes, Mrs
Barker will not hesitate to tell her story
.'If Mr. Keller fears that she will plead
a privileged communication they need
have no worry 1 believe they can be ac-
com1noGated. We may have something
definite to say the matter Monday
night
The people of Newark will today see
Rev. John Keller pass in parade along
Broad street as chaplain of the First
Regiment National Guard of New Jersey,
which goes to Camp Sea Girt for week 8
practice. The regiment, 900 strong, con-
sists of eight companies in Newark, three

Jersey Central depot, where another train

RINGERS.
A Green Conductors Ex-
perience With Four
Women Yes
terday.
BUT ONE INCIDENT In MANY
Old Stager Tells a Reporter
Some of the Beats He
Runs Against.

A green conductor was getting exper-
ience on a very much crowded open Ba-
yonne car yesterday going to Bayonne,
when four women got on at the Junction.
They had come from Newark Each car
ried a punched ferry ticket, such as
are given to passengers riding east on
Newark cars. These four passengers
calmly handed the punched ferry tickets
to the green conductor. He took them
and rung up the fares. The women smiled
at the trick they had played, but few
minutes later the conductor returned,
protesting that the tickets were worth
less.
well, we won't pay our fares again, 4"
said one.
You haven't paid them at ALL" re-
turned the conductor.
You ran gthem up chimmed in an
other woman.
4 believe them OF be good" protested
the conductor
"Well, what are you going to do about
it?'' asked a third woman.
You'll have to get off the car,' said
the conductor.
Put us off, cried the quartette. you
can't do it and we won't get off,
The mctorman was asked to stop the
car while the experienced conductor came
to the assistance of the man he was
teaching the business. The combined ef-
forts of the two conductors and motor
man were of no use against the women.
cts no use bullying those skins" said
the old conductor. ''You don't know the
game you are up against. Not day
=, ooy1Ia of h a
sort They'll beat you every time they
that they are beating the men who are
here to collect fares instead of the corr
papy.
Now, take my advice. When you
meet customers of that sort don't bully
them Let go for few minutes until
they get cooled off and perhaps if they
have enough principle about them they
will become ashamed of their actions and
pay you.''
After giving this bit of advice to the
green man, the old conductor made his
way to the rear of the ear where he told
the story to several men standing there
smoking.
perhaps I may be partly at fault
said he again to the passengers, for not
explaining to the greenie that those kind
of tickets he took were ringers. But his
own good common sense should have told
him that he was being worked. I sup
pose it is no more than just that 1 should
stand half of his loss"
The conductor was asked by reporter
who listened to his tale of woe how often
he came across people who tried to beat

SHOWED UNDER ALL RIGHT

A weird tale came from Trenton this
morning of snow in July. The story goes
that the phenomenon occurred at 2:l5
o'clock during light rain storm and for
about three minutes fakes of snow were
clearly discernible among the rain drops.
The snow was not in any wise like hail,
nor did the temperature, while at that
time unusually cool, for the season, SEEM
ed to warrant snow storm. The flakes
were cearly visibly only upon looking up
wards and seemed to vanish when within
a foot or two of the ground.
1t later developed that Barker Gummere
had been dreaming of his Senatorial
chances.

property over to the Presbytery of Jersey
City. The deed to the property stated
that should the church fail to comply
with the conditions, the property was to
be vested in the Presbytery.
After paying s1,5Oo of the purchase
money, the Lutheran church refused to
fulfill the contract, claiming that under
the restrictions of the Mckenzie deed the
Presbytery had not marketable title to
the properly. This refusal led to quite an
animated controversy between the Pres
byterian and Lutheran bodies; the result
was the institution of yesterdays suit
The Presbytery seeks to have the Luth-
Grams pay $1,000 upon the tender of a
deed for the property, and to give mort
gage for 81, 500, this with the $1,000 already
paid, making total price of $4,000 agreed
upon.

DECATUR, Ala, July 10, 1901.-Mrs.
Gerald Harshford. wealthy Hoboken
woman, who suffered for eight years
with small cambria needle sticking in
