Bangor Star Swindle Brings Gold Brick Loss to Townsfolk
In Bangor a Texan in cow boy garb enticed two local men into a gold brick swindle. The brick tested as gold, fetched $3,600 from the pair, who later broke it and learned of the fraud. Railroad survey notes followed, with road plans and property disputes prompting new evaluations. A separate incident describes a woman found intoxicated in Washington after traveling on a train platform. Community revival efforts in Philadelphia and surrounding meetings drew large crowds and hundreds of conversions.

Law mill grinds slowly as legislature acts on key bills
The third week of the New Jersey Legislature saw Senate bill 1 advance to permit Supreme Court Justices in certain circuits to sit with lower court judges in homicide cases. Other measures included game law reforms, a uniform text book bill, and proposals for a new Soldiers' Home site. Debates highlighted friction over funding and committee schedules, with speculation on cabinet appointments and legislative sessions. A separate note covers an Allentown league formation and a Phillipsburg factory fire damaging buildings and machinery, with an uninsured loss around 25,000. The week closed with talks of biannual sessions and political maneuvering.
