The crowd which went with the
mem bers of Middlesex Council, Royal
Arcanum, on its trolley ride to River
side Park, last night, filled six cars to
overfiowing on the trip over, and
crowded seven cars, apparently just
as full, on the trip homeward.
The people gathered along Smith
street, near Rector street, and, when
tho four cars ordered arrived, they
were filed in thirtv seconds. All tho
other available cars, two in number
were sent down, and then, at least
three more were needed.
The ride was very pleasant, the
weather being ideal, and the cars
reaching Riverside Park and this city
again without mishap. 1t was the
largest affair of the kind which ever
went from this city.
All of the attractions at the Park
were open, including tic dancing
although it was not regu-
lar night for dancing at the resort.
The return trip was commenced
shortly after II o'clock, and the time
consumed was only IN hour and q
half.
Regent Arthur II. Hope and his
earnest corps of co-workers were the
recipients of showers of congratula-
tions az the successful outcome of the
ride--and the weather. Although tho
trip was arranged without thought Of
financial gain, the proceeds are
thought to have been considerable.

MORRIS RECOGNIZED
I AS A ROONDSMAN.
Republican Combination Allowed
His Increased Pay for Rounds
man TO 90 Through.

When the combination in the council
cut out the pay of the three new
patrolmen from the police pay roll, its
members evidently forgot the
other appointment by the Mayor, that
of John e. Morris to tho rank of
roundsman They ordered Morris S
warrant for $35, the half-monthly snl
ary specified for the roundsmau, in
stead of $33 70, the same as for the
patrolmen, in which rank Morris
would now belong, if the vote and
appointments were illegal
Although, it is understood, the
combination had another man, other
than Morris, slated for roundsman,
the members have, by their action in
regard to Jiis pay, practically placed
themselves on record as approving the
means by which his promotion was
made. If, then, his appointment was
legal the question arises: "Was not
the appointment of the three new
policemen legal?"
1t presents new phase of the situa-
tion, and one which gives grounds for
careful consideration in the tangle
which has developed in this city's

NEW JERSEY STATE NEWS
Girl Deserted by Pastor.

AS was predicted when Rev. ]. r.
Cordova, preacher at the Methodist
Church, in South River, ran away with
pretty Julia Bovine, he would soon tire
of her, so it has happened. The wife
whom the Rev. Cordova left with three
small children, has left the parsonage,
and it is said that she went to New
York, where she rejoined her husband,
whom, it is said, she had forgiven.
Miss Bowne's parents received word
that she was at the Hotel st. Denis, in
New York, and that if they would
come for her she would return home
with them. They accordingly went
there and met her. At the hotel it
was said that she was registered under
the name of Miss Clark" and that
she had been accompanied by man,
who, from the description, is believed
to have been the preacher. After she
left he paid the bill for botn and also
left. The parsonage is closed, and it
is believed that neither the pastor nor
his wife will come there again. The
BOVINE home is also quiet and looks
as if deserted. Cordova and the girl
eloped May IL, after class meeting,
which had been led by Miss Bowne's
father, who is one of the trustees of
the church. Most of their time was
spent in Canadian and Western cities.
Cordova is forty, d Mexican, and q
graduate of Drew Theological Semin~
airy.
