NEW M0NTCLAIR COUNCIL, K. OF c.. INSTITUTED
YESTERDAY WITH LARGE NUMBER OF MEMBERS.
LAY STONE in RAIN
DISCIPLES OF CHRIST FOR
RELIGIOUS UNITY.
Are Building $35, 600 Church in East
0range-Plead for Restoration
of Early Christianity.

In the presence Of more than 200 persons
the cornerstone of the new Church of the
Disciples Of Christ, located at Park ave-
nue. and Seventeenth street, East Orange,
was laid late yesterday afternoon despite
the rain. Owing to the storm the adj
dresses were delivered in the old chapel.
Towards 5 o'clock, when the rain ceased
for a time, the congregation marched to
the new church. r. P. Shepard, the first
pastor, was unable to be present.
This is the first permanent church build.
ing of the Disciples in New Jersey, and
has been styled the Centennial Church"
of the Disciples in this State. 1t will cost
about $4,000.
The Rev. Miner Lee Bates, the second
pastor of the church, who is now located
In New York city, recalled in his address
the start of the Disciples in Park avenue.
when a dozen men worshipped together,
and that now the church has a membership
of 200. The many difficulties met and sur
mounted by the congregation were told OF,
and a brighter future was promised.
The Rev. Bernon Stauffer, of Angola,
Ind, gave an explanation of the Disciples
objects in his talk.
1.-THE building of a church is momen-
tous in the history of any community"
he said, for the church stands for
religion, and religion has to do with the
most sacred and imperishable values Of
life. The Disciples of Christ are not well
or generally known in this section of the
country, so while all may not grasp the
local significance involved, it is probably
true men are here in whose minds are
earnest convictions. The plea of the Dis
ciples is for Christian unity above every
thing else, and to see disappear church di-
vision. They would see the spirit of
unity ahead of denominationalism."
Mr.. Stauffer said men claimed this con-
summation would never be realized, COM
pairing the possibility to the Ethiopian
changing his color or a leopard losing its
spots. He then discussed the early ages,
when all were banded together under one
religion, before the Reformation. This
congregation" said the speaker, will
stand pleading for Christian unity in one
voice and labor for the kingdom of
Christ"
During the services in the chapel MEM
bers of the congregation sang several
hymns, and prayer was offered by Mr..
Brown, senior elder. Following the placing
of the cornerstone, America was sung
and the Rev. L. N. D.. Wells, pastor, pro-
nounced benediction.
In the copper box of the stone, which
had been donated by a firm, was placed a

HE SAW THINGS
NEGRO FIRED PISTOL TO
BRIGHTEN SHADOWS.
Special Liveried Messenger for Newark
Milliner Comes to Grief Through
Fear in South Orange.

Instead of keeping supposed robbers
way from him, as he Intended to do. by
firing a revolver in a lonely section of
Grove road, South Orange, early yester-
day morning, Dudley Goodall, a negro, of
81 Division court, this city, attracted five
men to him. They were policemen, and
GooodaI was more frightened than ever.
He was surrounded at Grove road and
South Orange avenue, South Orange, by
Marshal Thomas f. Mcguire, Roundsman
Theodore Steve and Policemen Patrick
Reynolds. Patrick Mcguire n Patrick
Kelly, of that place, who were all sum-
moned to find the man who was shooting
in Grove road. When confronted by the
police Goodall said he used the revolver
because he became frightened in the dark
road.
Il thought 1 saw some one coming near
me. and 1 fired and kept on firing" he
told the bluecoats.
The negro was attired in a livery and
said ne was employed by Mrs. ". M. Best,
the milliner, of 25 Halsey street, this city.
When taken to the South Orange police
station he said that he was in South Or
ange to deliver a hat at the home of Mrs.
N. Wetmore Halsey, $50 Montrose avenue,

next door, and whom he met, advised him
not to awaken the family, n took the
hat from him, saying he would give it to
Mrs. Halsey yesterday : morning, which,
according to the police, he did.
Goodall was given a hearing today and
repeated his story of seeing pen come
from behind trees and following him. Had
he not fired off his revolver and allowed
the 'boogy men, to search him 1t would
have been more profitable to Goodall, for
Police Justice j. Martin Roll. of South
Orange. lined him $25 for carrying concealed
weapons and shooting firearms in the VIII
lage. which is prohibited. The Judge told
him if he did not wish to pay that amount
he would provide protection from men be,

SHERlFF'S OFFICERS VISIT
SUBURBAN TOWNS.
Make Arrests in Belleville and Nut
ley for Violations of the
Bishops Law.

Nutley and Belleville were under the
eagle eye of the Sheriff yesterday, as far
as violations Of the Rishops's law were coll-
cerned, and the net result was Chat two
plaees were raided. The Sheriff's men ar
rested William J.. Allen, OF Mill street,
Belleville, and Frederick Petith, of the

under $500 bail each to await sentence.
The men from the Sheriff's office started
out early in carriages and had little trouble
in getting vi%olators OF the law. as they
saw to it that their plans were well con-
cealed. Two Of the Sheriff's men got
drinks themselves, not because they were
dry, but just TO see whether the law was
violated. They say that they found 1t was
and the result was the raids.
There was great excitement in the neigh
borhood of the place when the raiding par
ties got busy. and some of the men who
were wanted got away during the stir.
The raiding party started from the county
tafl, and the drive was made In secret,
lie men in it trying to appear as much as
possible as though they were going out TO
n picnic. Some of the men caught were
taken to jail in the carriages used by the
officers and others in the regular PRISONERS
van of the jail.
The Bellevllle and Nutley police knew
nothing of the raids until they were all
over in their respective towns.
Shortly after the Sheriff. men reached
Petith's place n power boat carrying a
young couple drew mp to the dock in the
rear of the place and the young woman
stepped ashore. She saw the crowd talk
ing excitedly. and was nearing the house
when one Of the men stepped up to her
and exclaimed.
For God's sake get out of here the
Sheriff is IN charge"
The woman needed no further warming
and rushed a. the dock. As she stepped
aboard the vessel she almost upset the
craft in pushing 10 off, Under all the power

D1pHTHERIA WELL IN HAND.

The health authorities of East Orange
are satisfied now that there is no necessity
for alarm regarding the cases of diphtheria
that occurred recently among several
pupils of the Elmwood Public School.
Concern was caused among parents In that
section following the death OF Pearl Axt.
OF $50 Rhode Island avenue, East Orange,
when 1t was learned that the child had
suffered from a sore throat before she
died. but the physicians do not claim that
dlphtheria was the cause of death. The
mild excitement that occurred In the school
has entirely subsidized, it is believed, and
the school authorizes claim that the
trouble was unnecessary. The teachers
have been instructed to request any pupil
sufering from a sore throat to remain
away from the school for a time as a pre-
caution for safety.
1t was stated In the office of Health In
spector William T. Bowman today that
there are but six cases OF diphtheria ex-
listing In the city today, the majority be-
ing located In the Elmwood section, and 1t
is expected that cards will be removed
In a day or two from two of the homes,
owing to the Improvement shown by the
children. All precautions TO prevent a
spread of the disease nave been taken by

MADE DEATH SURE
TOOK CARBOLIC AND THEN
HANGED HIMSELF.
Franz Dortzel, Who Worked in West
Orange Cigar Factory and Boarded
with Employer, Wa Dependent.

Franz Dortzel. a Bohemian, who had
worked about a cigar factory conducted at
2 Nassau street, West Orange, by William
Kratochvil, committed suicide Saturday by
swallowing carbolic acid and then hanging
himself.
The man. who was about GO years old.
went into a storage shed, presumably on
Saturday. and fastened the door with a
rope, running from the outside knob of
the door to a nail on the inside, and then
killed himself.
He had no relatives so far as is known.
and Deputy County Physician S. A. Muta
turned the body over to Morgue-keeper
Gustave Kunz. of Orange. Dort2el had
been boarding with the family of his en-
ployer many years, and the death of the
~latter's wife a few weeks ago, 1t Is be-
lieved, preyed on his mind. Dortzel was a
steady man, according to the West Orange
police.
A workman notified the police today that
the door was tied. and the body was found
when the door was forced open. The sui
eide had taken the acid from a large glass
while he stood on n box. with the rope
about his neck. Then he placed the glass
on a shelf and kicked the box away.
