Street Cleaning Department in Jersey
City Is Short of Funds.

Especial 70 tho Evening start
JERSEY CITY, Sept. 3O.-Martin r.
Quinn, who has charge of street clean
ing in Jersey City. reported to the
Street and Water Board his morning
that he had laid off all the laborers in
his department until further notice be-
cause of an alleged shortage of money
in the appropriation for cleaning the
streets. He asked the board to pass an
emergency resolution calling on the
board of finance Cor an extra appro-
prlation for cleaning the streets. The
Democratic majority hesitated about
committing themselves, and said they
wanted to consult counsel. The coming
of the Senate investigating committee
has made the Democratic majority
very careful.
At the office of City Comptroller Will
lam George Nelson it was said that
the street cleaning department has $780,
900 to its credit Of the 1888. 900 that was
on hand on December l last, when the
new fiscal year began. There are the
pay rolls amounting to nearly 5000 to
be paid from this sum and other claims
which have been held up by the board
of finance and the city comptroller
until they can investigate them.

And now, brethren. / commend you to
God and 10 His word Of grace, which Is
able to build you up and to give you an
Inheritance among all them that are sancti-
fed"
BE 1t far from me at this time" said
he, TO call your attention to ANYTHING
especially | have done or been or
said while acting as your minister. Under
the express call of God we came together.
Under the guidance of God n through
His holy spirit working in us we together
have accomplished many things for the
7daster here. From a charter membership
OF 5S the roll has grown TO the umber Of
70. In the material things our God has
supplied all our needs and we have not
only been able to meet the current ex-
penses so that there is not an outstanding
bill against us, but there have been offer
gospel in distant lands as well as in our
own land.
1T has been my pleasure and pride all
ways to show inquiring friends that II
this church and feel its pulse beat they
could best determine that by seeing the
amounts given for missions n benevo-
lent objects IN the church.
For me it has been an honor, a delight
and a satisfaction to have labored to-
gether with you. Perhaps now your eyes
are turned TO me in my going even as che
presbyters were turned to Paul at his
planning to go to Jerusalem. But in q
deeper sense I direct that you turn your
gaze from me and unto Him and His
up and TO give you AN Inheritance among
all them that are satisfied / disdain in
any way any credit for the manifest sue
cess that has attended us during cur
ministry.
THE vital force IN pulpit and pew today
Is loyalty to the living Christ. The liv-
Ing Christ IL The only vital force. For
to earth to perform certain prelimlnaries
of salvation and then pass into nothing
ness after having satisfied these con-
ditions.''
Mr.. Fisher will remain in East Orange
until the latter end of the week. He will
be given n reception by the congregation
on Wednesday evening at the church.
