B. Fay Mills. Mr. Mills has consented to come to Montclair again, and will be here the last of March and remain until Easter. He was a wonderful preacher ten years ago, but with his years and experience his power has greatly increased, and he is now recognized as easily the first evangelist in America; not so great an organizer, perhaps, as Mr.

Moody, but greater in the pulpit. He has just finished a remarkable series of meetings in New Haven, which has reached the University and touched classes of people who seldom care for such ministries. His object in the services to be held in Montclair will be chiefly the development of the highest spiritual life in the churches. The details of his work are not yet arranged, but nearly if not quite all the churches have already joined in the movement. Fuller notices will be given in the course of a week or two.

He will begin his work either the 25th or 26th of March.

THE COMMUNITY OPPOSED TO THE PROPOSED CHANGE. Business Men and Citizens Sign a Protest Against Locating it a Quarter of a Mile From the Centre of the Town.

of the Post Office which, if carried out, will seriously inconvenience a large majority of the people of Montclair for the next five years. The lease of the premises now occupied by the office in the centre of town in about to expire. The rental is $800 per annum, including light, heating and fixtures, thus bringing the net amount down to something like $550, which is less than is paid for any two stores similarly situated. When the present lease was made the rent asked was $1,000, but Mr. Morris, acting as agent for the Misses Morris who own the building, finally consented to accept $800 if upon the expiration of the lease the renewal be made at $1,000.

The latter sum is not unreasonable. The business of the office has grown considerably of recent years, and the space devoted to the use of the public is no longer adequate to the needs.

Brautigam, H. H. Biddulph, A Young Montclairite Honored. Among the recent nominations sent to the Senate by the President, was that of Alvord Anderson, son of John R. Anderson, of Montclair, be Lieutenant in the U.

S. Army. Young Mr. Anderson has been several years in the service, having gone out as Post Schoolmaster, while still under age, and recently passed the competitive examinations at Fort Leavenworth, fourth in a class of twenty-one, with an average standing of over ninety per cent. He has been exceptionally fortunate in securing a commission in the Uavalry arm, 88 such prizes almost invariably fall to West Point graduates; and what is also unusual he has been essigned to the regiment, the Sixth Cavalry, in which he has always served, and where he has made many friends.

At a much earlier age than his son, Mr. Anderson served in the Naval service during almost the entire Oivil War, and enjoyed the distinction of having carried back to Fort Sumter, in a boat from his ship, Major- General Anderson and all the surviving officers of the Sumter fight, together with the Old Flag, when it was again hoisted over the fort in 1865. Amid all the Colors of the Rainbow. The Presbyterian chapel was gay with 8 rainbow of booths, filled with pretty girls on Thursday night. It WAS the occasion of an informal reception given by the young ladies of the missionary society to the congregation.

The chapel was beautifully decorated and the booths, representing the colors of the rainbow in their natural order, were arranged in the alcoves of the chapel wonderful taste and beauty. A throng of guests filled the ball from eight to ten o'clock. At each of the booths a group of young ladies received their friends, and served dainty refreshments with coffee and chocolate. In the red alcove Miss Marion and Miss Edna Harrison and the Misses Ward received. Miss Grace Hewitt, Miss Leskom, and Miss Alice Howell presided over the orange booth.

The yellow table was in charge of Miss Leonora Dally, Miss Harrison, of Ohio, and Miss Grace Howell. Next came the green alcove at which Miss Imogen Peake, Miss Josephine Hewitt, Miss Niven and Miss Sandford received. At the blue booth Were Miss Carter, Miss Peake, Miss Edna Hutchinson and Miss Alice Smith. The next booth in which the violet hangings were gracefully decorated with bunches of violets linked by festoons of violet ribbon, was perhaps the most effective; here Miss Ida Dodd, Miss Mabel Smith, Miss Watkins and Miss Hutchinson received. Ribbon decorations indicating at which tables each would be received, were bestowed on the many guests by Miss Walker and Miss Sandford.

This rainbow reception was certainly a novel idea most successfully carried out. The Verona Tax Case Not Decided. The statement appears in the Newark papers of yesterday that the taxes levied on the City Home property in Verona have been set aside by the Supreme Court, the decision being in favor of the City of Newark. This is an error. The tax assessment case was argued only yestertr day, June and term.

will The not be opinion decided rendered until the on Thursday had reference only to the assessment of benefits for the grading of Fairview avenue, which runs through the City Home lands, and the assessment was laid aside on the ground that the method prescribed by the law under which the assessment was made was unconstitutional. The question as to the liability of the City Home property to such an assessment was not passed upon by the Court. Application may now be made for the appointment of commissioners by the Supreme Court to make a new assessment. International Arbitration. In response to a strong and growing public sentiment, the pastors of the various churches of our town have united in issuing a call for a popular meeting to be held in the First Presbyterian Church, at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, in the interest of Arbitration as a method of adjusting international differences.

Similar meetings are being held all over our country in connection with the birthday of George Washington, and arrangements have been made to bring these expressions of public opinion promptly and in proper form before the governments of England and the United States. The meeting will, of course, have no denominational or political color. Let all attend and add by their presence and prayers in giving voice to the Christian sentiment of our people in favor of Arbitration in international differences, especially between our own land and the Mother Country. The pastors send out their call as the representatives of their churches, and in the name of the Prince of Peace. Mrs.

A. S. Quinton To Speak Here. A meeting in interest of Mission Work among the Moquis Indians of Arizona, will be held in Trinity Chapel, Thursday afternoon, February 27th, at three o'clock. An address will be made by Mrs.

A. S. Quinton of Philadelphia, President of the Woman's National Indian Association. Mrs. Quinton has traveled extensively among the various Indian tribes, and is a very interesting speaker.

The work among the Moquis is supported by the New Jersey Auxiliary of the National Association. All who are interested in this work are cordially invited to be present. TROLLEY LEGISLATION. BILL TO PUT THE TROLLEY LINE THROUGH MONTCLAIR. Vesting the Control and Franchise Granting Power in the County Board of Chosen Freeholders.

Rumors have been current in town during the past week that a bill had been introduced in the Legislature to build a trolley road through Montclair. There was no truth in the rumor, but that such a bill has been framed will probably be introduced next week, is an assured fact. We have obtained a copy of it from the Caldwell News. It gives the sole control and franchise granting power, as far 88 county roads are concerned, to the County Board of Freeholders, and takes it out of the hands of the local municipalities. This is in direct violation of the principles of home rule, the bill should therefore be opposed by the people of Montclair, even by those who want the trolley.

The introduction of the bill is not a matter of great surprise, but it is wrong in principle. Montclair can and will settle the trolley question without legislative interference. But, as has been said more than once recently, it is that some action should be taken by the authorities. Strange as it may seem, the trolley company disclaim the credit of framing or attempting to pass the bill. It is said to be under the auspices of the County Park Commissioners, who are not inclined to locate a park on the mountain unless it can be made readily accessible to the people of this county.

The bill reads 88 follows: An act to regulate and define the control and management of county roads. 1. Be It enacted by the Senate and General Assembly of the State of New Jersey, that all county roads in this State that have been heretotore built, or that shall be hereafter built by or under the direction of any Board of Chosen Freeholders or of any public road board, and in the laying out, opening, grading or construction of which the money raised by county tax levy, or borrowed upon the credit of the county shall have been or shall be employed, and the repair or maintenance of which 1s by law made the duty of the Board of Chosen Freeholders, shall be and remain in the care and control, and under the Jurisdiction of the Board of Chosen Freeholders to the exclusion of any township, town, borough, city or other local municipal corporation, through which snch county roads may pass, or in which such county roads may wholly or In part extend, for all purposes of regulation as to use, and as to width of sidewalks and of roadway, and as to construction and maintenance, and as to the planting and trimming of trees. 2. That the Board of Chosen Freeholders shall have power to appoint or to direct its Committee on Roads to select and appoint a County Supervisor of Roads, and to define his duties and to fix his compensation, and that members of the Road Committee shall be eligible to the position of County Supervisor of Roads.

That such County Supervisor of Roads, when appointed in any county of this State under and by the virtue of the provisions of this act shall supersede and shall perform the duties of the County Supervisor of Roads mentioned and directed to be appointed in the sexenth section of the act entitled "An act to provide for the permanent improvement of public roads in this State," approved March twentysecond, one thousand eight hundred and ninetyfive. 3. That the Board of Chosen Freeholders shall be and are hereby vested with the sole and exclusive jurisdiction and power to grant or to refuse to grant permission to any street railway, to construct and maintain upon any such county road, a street railway or railways and to regulate and control the construction and operation of such railways, and to prescribe the terms and conditions of such grant, Provided, however, that no such grant shall be made by any Board of Chosen Freeholders, unless it shall satisfactorily appear to such board that the owners of a majority of the lineal feet of land fronting upon such county road or roads for the entire distance over which a railway is to be constructed thereon shall have consented, in writing, to the construction of -a street railway upon such county road or roads. 4. That all acts and parts of acts inconsistent with the provisions of this act be and the same are hereby repealed, and that this act shall take effect immediately.

The Eagle Bicycle, We call attention of our readers to the advertisement of the Eagle Bicycle. This is one of the original "safeties," having come into the field at the same time as the pneumatic tire. 'The company was making an improved high wheel which bid fair to be the most popular wheel, as it had all the advantages of the old style "ordinary" as well as great many of the good points of the low wheels, with none of their disadvantages. However, on the appearance of the pneumatic, with the possibilities of high gears and light weights, the makers saw that the high wheel was doomed and immediately turned their attention to meeting the popular demand. They were leaders in light weights and many other points of the modern wheel, and to-day turn out a wheel second to none.

Watch the advertisement every week and see the special points mentioned. Killed by a Trolley Car. James Cisco, a colored man of this place, was run over and instantly killed by an electric car on the Eagle Rock division of the Suburban Traction Company's line late last Monday evening. Cisco, who was a slate roofer by trade, went driving with William Dodd, of Montclair, on Monday, and the two were seen several times in West Orange. Otto Peterson and P.

Clifstrue, of West Orange, found the two men lying in the gutter on Harrison avenue near Cherry street, the pair having been thrown from the buggy. The Orange men helped the almost helpless men into the buggy and turned the horse towards Montclair, Nothing more was heard of their movements until the last car came down from Eagle Rock, at a rapid rate, and killed Cisco before the motorman could bring his car to a stop. After examining the body the motorman and conductor saw a man wandering in the fields nearby, who was at once captured, and proved to be Dodd, who was intoxicated. At first he stated that he had never seen Cisco, but being taken to the West Orange police station, he subsequently remembered enough to relate his experience with Cisco and their WADderings the night before. He could not, however, throw any light upon Cisco's appearance on the rails, and was later discharged.

The cold ou Monday night was intense and Cisco would have probably have frozen to death before he would have been found, as the locality where he was run over, is comparatively uninhabited and few people pass there at so late an hour. The Telephone Company has rented the store next to the Post Office, for a term of five years. I Church Notes. First Baptist Onurch-The pastor, Rev Wm. N.

ID view of the long. faithful and most effi cient service which he has given to our town, it is not to be wondered at that he wishes to be relieved from the labor and responsibility of the position to which the appreciation of his townsmen called him; but if it were possible to induce him to withdraw his declination to serve for another term, we should be very glad. After the years of able service which he has rendered 80 ungrudgingly, it would be ungenerous to urge him against his own will to further sacrifice bimself by continuing in office. And presuming that his declination is, as we understand it, to be final, we wish to submit the name of another gentleman who, in our opinion, is most eligible and in all respects most worthy of a nomination as Mr. Wilson's successor in the office of Councilman-at-Large.

We refer to Mr. Charles D. Thompson. This gentleman's standing in Montclair is well known, and he needs no personal mendation from us, but in connection with the office for which we propose his name, it is appropriate that we should mention not only his high personal charactor, but also the peculiar fitness for the position which he has already displayed in connection with our town affairs. As a Councilman from the Second District, he proved himself to be able, faithful, resolute and most efficient; and the nomination we propose would be a most appropriate of the public approval and appreciation of his past services to the town.

If you will kindly give the above a suitable place in your columns, it will oblige, Very respectfully yours, J. VAN VLECK, S. W. CAREY, THOMAS RUSSELL, PAUL BABCOCK, D. O.
