Triumph FOR THE PAPER TRUST.

The majority report of the House committee which has made N inquiry into
the pulp and pnnt paper industry to ascertain the ruth of charges thata tru
is in control and mas established and maintained exorbitant monopoly prices is
what vas expected The committee majority say hat the investigate is in

action by Congress is warranted at this time. The minority dssents, nd urges
the immediate passage of the Stevens BILL which provides for the repeal Of the
tariff on wood pulp and prnt paper. with exceptions in favo of retahatory
duties The minority report says we find that the existing duties ave raised
the price of wood pulp and print paper, not only in ITSELF, tut by giving to the
paper manufacture a shelter behind which they could organize combinations

opinion. in reality such" But the action by the committee majority is entirely

AS MAYOR AND NOT AS AN INDIVIDUAL.

Mayor Hausrngc ould well afford personally to ignore the impuaims upon
his integrity by al irresponsible sheet in New York, but as Mayor he Gould lot
let them lightly pass The chief executive magistrate OF a city represents the
people who elected him, and an injurious reflection upon his character reflects
upon the community and affects HI honor of the city. When the former Mayor
of Paterson proved to be a rogue the newspapers of that agreed to sup
press he scandal for the sake of saving the discredt to the city, On the sam
principle Mayor Hau@nng turns % he grand jury, lot for personal vndicaton
for lie doesn't need any in he eye oil this community, bt to make it plain to
all the wond that the libel upon Newarks Mayor and upon Newark is absolutely
and maudouly false. A majority of the grand Jurors are citizens of Newark,
the jury has n political ahnaion with the Mayor OF Newark, n it is the most
conpetentt tribunal to appeal to officially for a judgment in a caeo this kind.

Hound over to the superior cour,

As the result of a cowardly assault upon Louis Freedman, of Worcester, Matthew, Kroll, a polish farmer, Of Thompson, was bound over to the next term of the Superior Court by Justice Randolph H. Chandler, in sl 900 bonds, Thursday afternoon. He will also have to answer in civil suit for g 5O0 da- images, and an attachment has been placed on his farm.
 According to the testimony Freed man was invited 10 Kroll's place to buy some cattle. When he entered the barn Kroll took him unawares from behind and gave him brutal beating. Freed man begged for mercy, and offered to give anything he possessed, If he would spare his life. It is alleged that kroil then seized his pocketbook containing $42.
 Freeman crawled to house nearby and reported the matter, and kroIl was later arrested.
 It seems that Freedman has for some years past been coming down from Worcester to buy cattle in Thompson. KroIl was engaged in the same busi- ness and took offence al his home town being invaded by an outside buyer. It would seem that this was the cause for the assault, for AS kroll had Freedman on the floor he exclaimed: "l have been waiting for two years and now I'll teach you not 10 come into my town buying eows.n Robbery was added to
 7 the complaint.

The Salystinn Army Missiea.

The services at the Salvation Army hall, over the weekend, as conducted by Major and Mrs. Simonson, of Hart ford, were services of extraordinary interest. The open-air services were attended by large crowds, and the in- door services were attended by audi ences that packed the hall to its fullest capacity, and many could not ind en- trance. The Sunday morning meeting at the Pentecostal church, on Elm st., was well attended, and apparently was enjoyed by all. The platform was oe. cupied by Major and Mrs. Simmons, Evangelists James NJ. Belt and k. W. Buchanan, and Capt. Withee.
 Nr. Buchanan led in the song ser vice. which was followed by prayer led by Evangelist Belt. After d few uarl4- ing words bs Mrs. Simonson, the Ma ior sang aI Know He cares, and then came his ernest exhortation te s1present our bodies living sacrifice, using as his text, Romans Xii. 1. ;.
 The service at p. m., in the Army hall, was of most auimating eharae- ter. Mrs. Simonson dealt very ably with the subject of aFear,9 and was eagerly listened to by an overflow crowd.
 The evening service came as fitting climax to the day, when another great crowd listened with wrapt attention to the open-air service, and as many as could squeeze in followed to the even ing service indoors.
 The Majors address was a burning one, and as the audience listened 10 the stories of Divine grace working in the lives of fallen, degraded men and wo- men, many eyes were wet with tears, and strong conviction seized upon many present.
 Captain and Mrs. Withee wish to thank all those who so cautiously as sisted them in making the Majors vis- il so successful, and which promises many treats of this kind during the coming months,
