NORTH JERSEY STOCK.
Rise Not Due to a Pool to
Control Warning
Elements.


Because of the sudden rise in North
Jersey Street Railway Company stock
local spectators are spreading all sorts
Of rumors as to the cause. That there ls
an active market is true since the stock
has gone up four and one-haif points in
I'VE days. hut the wherefore is hard to
find
The latest story to account for this IS
that Nessrs. E. F. c. Young, T. McCarter'
David Young. John D. Crimnins John
Stanley and other prominent holders Of
the stock have formed a pool and thus
be able to dominate over alleged warring
elements.
That's Greek to me, was the laconic
reply of President E. F. G. Young this
morning when asked about it.
Then another rhmor with a Philadelphia
flavor about it was that the upward
movement of the North Jersey stock was
due ito the crossing of two North Jersey
storm centres And a third is that a
decision from the Court of Errors and
Appeals favorable to corporations in the
franchise tax case is about to be rendered.
but that decision is about to be handed
down dismissing the suit in which It has
been attempted to break rle lease Of Con-
soiidated Traction to North jersey.
To all these President Young merely re-
pines that he is unable to say what is
causing the rise unless it be that the
business of the company is increasing
On the subject of the dividend Mr. Young
said:-
7 do. not care to say ANYTHING at this
time about the rumors of dividend.

ETERNAL PUNISHMENT
Mr.. James C. Bruce Says Ministers
Are Ashamed to Preach the Doctrine

Quite a large audience listened TO Mr..
James c. Bruces lecture on "Hell, Purg-
atory and Devil, the Doctrine of Eeter-
nal Tornents and Its Place in the Chris
tian system in the Elks Lecture Hall,
York and Henderson streets, last night.
The lecturer announced that the object
of the series of lectures was to bring in
touch the people with the doctrines pro-
pounded in the first century. He discuss
ed all the doctrines on eternal punish
ment held by all Christian religious sects.
He said that as a rule ministers are
ashamed of the doctrine of eternal pun
ishment. He quoted Scripture to prove
that many mistakes were apparently
made by the early translators. who mis-
took figurative language for fact
Scheo1 and hades, he maintained, meant
the grave, and some had mistaken al
lusion of some of Biblical writers con-
cerning the fires of Guihenna, which led to
the eternal punishment by fire. and
birthstone doctrine. He argued and cited
Scripture to prove that God would not
condemn to eternal punishment the ma
tions and peoples that had never heard
His Word and that all who had judged
as being unrighteous and unfit to enter
heaven would, through His benign plan,
eventually be saved.
Mr. Bruce showed himself thor
oughiy eonversant with the Scriptures.
