BACCALAUREATE SERVICE.

The baccalaureate service at the Methodist church Sunday night was attended by large congregation, the sermon on this occasion being de- livered by Rev. J. w. Smith, of the Methodist church. The musical pro- gram was most excellent and con- sisted of several pieces of special music.
 "Hear Us Oh Fatherv by eight voices was beautifully sung. Mrs. Marshall rendered "A Dream of Para dise'' in good voice but the most ap- preciated number of all was the duet "Jesus Lover of My Soul" by Mesdames c. A. Hillhouse and R. W. Randy, Miss Imogene Randy accom- panying them upon the violin.
 Rev. Mr. Smiths reading was from the twenty first chapter of Revela- tion, choosing for his text the seventh verse: 'sHe that overcometh shall inherit all things and I will be his God and he shall be my son.' The subject of his discourse was "Rising Above Conditions," and the advice offered to the class of 1902 seated be- fore him, was timely, pertinent and true. He urged upon the young peo- pie just entering the world of men and women, when disappointments and lack of appreciation of their ideals would dampen their enthusiasm, that they strive not for material suc- cess, measured in the goods of sinful earth, nor for intellectually, though this were higher ambition than the former, but best of all, for graces of character, christian living and exam pie, which would live after them to bless others.
 The ignorance of self must be over come; it's prejudice must be cast aside and the virtues which come by a knowledge of God must be inculcated that the blessings promised in that beautiful verse of scripture chosen fol his text may be attained.

Little Rock, May 17-The Supreme Court Saturday affirmed the decree of Chancellor Martin enjoining the board
 of State penitentiary commissioners and the superintendent and financial agent thereof from withdrawing the convicts from the employ of w. w.. Dickinson, under what is known as l the Arkansas Brick Manufacturing Company contract. In the first place contract was made with the Arkan-
 sas Chair Company, of which w. w. Dickinson was prominent member, for the lease of not less than 100 nor more than 300 State convicts l by the board of penitentiary commissioners, during the eincumbency of Hon. Dan w. Jones as governor, and while Gov. Davis was attorney general. The Arkansas Chair Com pany, desiring to make some changes in the scope and nature of it's business sold out to new corporation known as the Arkansas Brick and Manufac- turing Company, composed of sub
 stantially the same stockholders. It then sought and obtained new and substituted contract. This was during the administration of the present governor, and he signed the new con- tract as governor. Subsequently
 when the matter came up in the leg l islature, which met soon afterward,
 and was discussed, it being apparent
 that the Brick and Manufacturing Company had obtained from the State
 contract very much to the disad-
 vantage of the latter.
 Though the matter was much dis
 cussed in the legislature, the majority
 took the view that, while the contract
 was an inequitable one and should not
 have been made, the State could not 1 afford to repudiate an undertaking
 fairly made by power legally con stituted for the control of the matters
 embraced in the contract. However, soon thereafter, the governor, mainly
 through the pressure which he was
 able to bring to bear in the meetings of the board of commissioners of the
 penitentiary, secured the passage of a
 resolution annulling the contract oi
 the Brick & Manufacturing Company
 and ordering the superintendent and
 the financial agent to withhold the convicts from it.
 l To meet this state of facts, the
 present suit was brought by the brick
 company, seeking an injunction
 against the penitentiary board and
 authorities, to prevent the withdrawal
 of the convicts from the work in
 which it had placed them,

RAILROAD RUMBLINGs.

The Iron Mountain is to make Wal- nut Ridge both a passenger and freight division; every train that runs the road is to stop there and register and change crews. The main or first side track is to leave the main line on the west side of the track at a point about opposite the handle factory and connects again one mile down the track, just in the edge of Hoxie, near the H. P. & N switch. Then there are to be from 20 to 30 other tracks 5000 feet long, and the plat of ground required for tracks, round house, coal sheds and repair shops will vary in width from 400 to 625 feet. The round house will be of brick and will be lo cated in the north end of Col. Cofin's field MT. Cotter says that $100,000 will be spent on these improvements within 90 days and it is expected that they will be completed by September l. This proposition links Walnut Ridge and Hoxie together by com- mon tie making them virtually one town Black Rock Blade.

Legislature Will Be Asked for
Authority to Improve the
Thoroughfare..


Director MCGOWAN of the Essex Free
holders announced at last nights meet
ing of the Joint Bridge Committees Of
Hudson and Essex Freeholders that an
effort would be made this winter to have
the Legislature pass an act that would
enable the two counties to bring about
the improvement of the Newark Plank
Road BY the State Road Act under
which the State ut large would pay one
third the cost Of the work and the other
two-thirds be borne by the two counties.
Mr.. MCGOWAN did not state whether
the intention was to divide this latter
part of the cost equally between Hudson
and Essex, or whether it would be APP
portioned, three-eighths of the former and
fiye-eighths to the latter, as fixed by the
oCurt of Chancery. for the maintenance
of the road and bridges.
The Essex director said that Hudson's
counsel, John Griffin, with whom he had
talked, was strongly in favor Of this
plan. There was no discussion of the
matter by the Hudson Freeholders, al
though Mr.. McGowan stated that he
presumed that the Hudson Senator and
Assemblymen would support the move
ment, as he was assured the Essex Legis-
lative representatives would.

by the State Board of assessors.
9.-Is it not fact that practically
every piece of property which either di-
rectly fronts upon the water front or is
so near as to partake of the character
istics of water front property, has stead
lily increased in value in the last twenty
years, as shown by the assessment of the
city? Does not this fact show that the
railroad porperty should be increased in
value likewise?
lois it not fact that every foot
of railroad property today is put to more
efficient and profitable use by the rail-
road companies than was the fact in
1884?
11.-For Mr.. Edwards: If sale to Nor
ris and Essex of tract of water front for
81 100000 in 1881 ($50,000 per acrey was
not bona fide sale, why did you quote
it on page ~ of your brief before the
Special Tax Commission in 1895 to prove
that the State Board Of Assessors did
not assess any nearer full value than
local assessors?
12.-For Mr.. Edwards: Were your
statements made to the State Tax Com
mission in 1895 on page of your brief,
to the effect that the assessment by
local assessors of vacant land adjacent
to railroad lands in Jersey City showed
a substantial equality, and the tables
supplied by Mr.. Harrison, p. 61-69, ac-
curate?
13.AIs it not true that the modern
shipping requires longer piers and docks
If yes, does not the recent extension of
the exterior pier line add greatly to the
value of the railroad shore front property
affected nearby?
14.-Why should not the State Board
of Assessors increase the assessment of
railroad terminal lands whenever the ex-
tension of the pier line has given them
additional pier space?
15.-Why should the Pennsylvania
Harsimus tract be assessed less than
the other Pennsylvania terminal lands?
16.-Same as to Erie Elevator tract.
President Rankin in adjourning the
meeting until Tuesday next in Trenton,
said, that if any of the railroad lawyers
desire to reply they may do so then.

ONE WIFE
TOO MANY
Queer Matrimonial Mix Up
Presented for Vice Chan
cellor Reed to Solve.
sALooNKEEPER KoTH's PLIGHT
Sued by the Former Husband
Of His wife Whose Mar
riage He Seeks to
Annul
sALooNKEEPER Kofn's PLIGHT

A queer matrimonial mix up came be-
fore Vice Chancellor Reed this morning
when the suit to annul the marriage of
Albert Koth, saloon keeper, of No. 306
Pacific avenue, with Mrs. Augusta Smith
camelup for trial. In Koth's petition he
set up that he married Mrs. Smith sup
posing she had been divorced from Frank
Smith, who was chief engineer of the
Royal Baking Powder Company's works
at Warren street, but now of the Tartar
Chemical Company, Brooklyn. He found
out it was not true when Smith began a
suit against him for alternating Mrs.
Smiths affections from him, for which
he asked $4,000 damages. On discover
ing this Koth said he separated from his
wife and at once filed suit to annul
the marriage.
Lawyer Charles D. Thompson, counsel
for Koth, was just about to prove his
case this morning when Lawyer G..
Morton niterposed. He said he repre-
sented the former husband, Smith, and
objected to a decree in the suit because
Koth was cohabiting with Mrs. Smith
since the suit was filed and that was an
imposition on the court.
ACCUSES KOTH.
"Koth," said the lawyer, "does not
come into court with clean hands. In
his affidavit he swearsi he has not lived
with Mrs. Smith since he began the
suit. can prove that that statement is
not true
Mr.. Thompson objected to the inter
ruption, asking if the marriage with
Smith could be esta blished.
The Eice-C Chancellor permitted Mr..
Norton to represent the former husband
in the proceedings and Koth took the
stand. He told his. story and denied that
he had eohabited with his wife since the
suit. ell admitted that he had called
at No. 90 Wayne street, where she now
lived, but that was to see what was
going on.
'.WhyY' asked LAWYER Norton.
81 thought l was being made tool>of
and wanted to find out about the suit Z
You visited her at midnight"
Yes
"And wanted her to go away with
your
No. She wanted, but told her TO
stay where she was"
BOYS QUEER YARN.
Edward Smith, the ffteen-year-old son
of Mrs. Smith, told story of his
mother three times leaving his father
to go and live with Koth, who came late
at night to the house on Wayne. street
and took his mother away. The boy
said he followed them on a car to La
fayette He said that his mother told
him that Koth paid for her divorce from
his father.
When Mr.. Thompson got at the boy
on cross-examination, it was evident the
youngster was romancing. He said first
he. never told Lawyer Norton anything
of his mothers doings, and finally ad-
mitted he had done so.
The case was laid over and at the
next hearing Smith and his wife will
give their testimony.
