The Camden senatorinl NOMINATION.

To the Editor Of The EveainO Tetegroph:-
CAMDEN, N. j.. September 2.-Sir:-My atten-
ton has been called to the communication IN
your paper signed by the Secretary OF the
County Convention. 1t does not do Justice to
Senator Scovel When the vote for Senator was
announced, it is true there we're only four votes
for MIR. Scovel, but the Secretary of the Con.
Vention torgets that besides these tour there
were nve. votes from South Ward, which gave
Mr.. Scovel nine votes and my recollection is
that he had two more withdrawn when Mr..
Bettles nomination was inevitable, making
eleven votes. AS Chairman OF the delegation
from South Ward had informed Senator SEQ
vel that we intended TO nominate hun, and he
then informed me before the Convention met
that he was not candidate, and gave me
letter declining to be candidate, which 1 read
in the Convention when 1 withdrew his name,
pledging his iealty to Republican principles.
What | object to IN the letter of the Secretary
of the Convention is its unfriendly spirit
towards Mr. Scovel. The effort to prevent his
name being entertained by the Convention pro-
ceeded from his pers onal enemies, and was 80
well unde erstood that one of the delegates from
South Ward informed the Convention that
South Ward would leave the Convention if it
was persisted in. Yours truly b. NJ. B.,
Chairman South Ward Delegation.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT THE OIL REGION.

EhlGH1fUL ACClDENC Al IHE UlL hEUlON.
We learn from Mr. L. H. Buckbee, who visited
Tarr Farm yesterday, that q terrible explosion
occurred there between IL and l o'clock on
Wednesday morning, resulting IN the instant
death oil the engineer, named Frederick Wygant,
and the fatal injury OF Mr.. A. Jones.
The accident occurred at the Chrlsman well,
lease No. 126. In the temporary absence OF the
engineer the thumbscrew of the safety-valve
not observed the circumstance, and while hands
were employed about the we'll the boiler ex-
ploded from the butt with the most terrible con-
sequences.
Wygant the engineer, was thrown distance
OF sixty feet, his body being shOCkingly mangled,
and every article Of clothing except one boot
stripped from his person. He was lifeless when
found. Mr.. Jones, one of the employees, was
thrown about thirty feet and fearfully sCaldec {;
II is thought he cannot survive. The samson
post was sOlinteled to pieces and the engine
house literally blown into fragments. Two legs
of the derrick were carried away and 1t toppled
over, but the drller, who stood inside OF the
derrick, was unharmed. Mr.. Chrisman was
slightly scalded, but will recover. The end of
the boiler was blown q distance of one hundred
and forty feet up hill, and the door of the fur
mace was found two hundred feet from the well
down hill.
1t was the most appalling accident of the kind
we have yet recorded, and, resulting as it did
from reckless and ineXcusable act, should be
made the subject of an official investigation.
This is the third or fourth accident of the kind
occurring in the oil REGIONS within as many
weeks from the same cause. For humanty Us
sake we hope we snail now hear Of some suit.
