DENOMIN ATIONAL
NIGHT.
Mural Tablet in Memory Of
DR.. Van Gleef Unveiled
at Wayne Street
Reformed.
MEMORIAL ADDRESSES
Recollections of DIR. Brett
Who Reviewed the His
tory OF the Dutch
Reformed Church.

Last night was known as denomina-
tional night as part of the series of a
weeks services after the renovation and
redecoration of the Wayne street Re-
formed church. A large crowd attended.
The services were intensely interesting.
The unveiling of the mural tablet in mem
ory of Rev. Dr. Van Cleef and addresses
made in connection herewith recalled
many recollections of incidents during the
late Doctors long pastorate of the church.
1t was anticipated that the Rev. Robert
X. Wick, former pastor, who is now in
Jamaica, L. l.. would be present to make
an address but he was unable to be pres
ent.
The Rev. ]. A. Brown in his address
recalled the fact that he had had oc-
casion recently TO address Grand Army
Post and that he was impressed with the
grandeur of the old veterans who had
fought 50 valiantly and successfully to
save their country and they reminded him
of the grand old heroes like DIR. vs.
Clesf, a soldier of the cross, who had
fought so valiant1y to save souls. He al
suded to DR.. Van Cleefs splendid record
as pastor of the church fer forty-six years
and seven years as pastor emeritus.
In the course of brilliant address the
Rev. DIR. Cornelius Brett, of the Bergen
Reformed Church referred to an incident
when as soldier in the ranks of a reg
iment in 1850 going to the front while
marching down Newark avenue past Bar
row street the splendid countenance of
patriotic minister looking on with admir-
alton in the crowds that lined the side
walk deeply impressed him. ItNwas that
of DIR. Van Cleef. He knew him, but
little did he, the speaker, know at that
time that he would ever become a min
tster of the same faith as DIR. Van CIeef.
DR.. Brett reviewed the history of the
Dutch Reformed church in this city. He
said that while he believed that the Ber-
gen Reformed Church. of which he is pas
tor, was the first of that denomination
to be planted in this locality, it was
not easy to prove that It was much old
er than the Wayne street Reformed He
paid a glowing tribute to the character
and work of DIR. Van Cleef
A song service preceded the exercises
and many of DR.. Van Cleef's favorite
hymns were snug.

Clara Martindale, a pretty young bru-
nette, who lives at No. 80 Astor place
came near being blinded last night by a
miscreant who threw acid into her face
Only her eyeglasses, which she left be-
hind her when she started out on visit
her sight. She was on her way to
but which she went back to secure saved
visit Mrs. Paxton, a friend who lived on
Ocean avenue when the incident occurred,
1t was cold and there were few pedestri-
ans on the sheets. The Elizabethean col
lar of her coat was turned up to protect
ans on the streets The Elizabethan col
on Ocean avenue between Eye and Vir-
ginia avenue, she saw man approach
ins- Hewas attired neatly in black. His
overcoat collar was turned up about his
ears and the front brim Of his Derby hat
was we'll down over his eyes.
As the man was passing her she was
stratled to see him raise his arm as
though pointing pistol at her face. I'm
mediately she fell a stinging sensation on
her right cheek and noticed that her eye
glasses had become clouded as though by
steam. She took the glasses off and
found they had been drenched by some
strong smelling acid. She screamed. The
man ran away. A number of meh in the
vicinity responded to her screams and
chased the man. He eluded them, how
ever. and is still free.
When Miss Martindale arrived at the
home of her friend Mrs. Paxton she found
on examining her coat that it had been
burned in, various spots as though by
acid
Miss Martindale says she cannot possi-
bly, imagine who the man could be. He
reminded her Of no one of her acquaint-
ances, and she believes she was the vic
tim of mistaken identity; that the man
was lying in wait for some one whom, in
the darkness, she happened to resemble.
She regards her escape from blindness
as almost miraculous, and attributes it
to the intuition to return for her glasses
after she had left home without them.
Miss Martindale,s father is Herbert
Martindale, Pennsylvania Railroad en-
gineer. HI, says regarding kis daugh-
ter's narrow escape, that she is a chip of
the old block; that he had been in four
railroad wrecks and emerged from all
without scratch.
