fcw people who visit It arc acquainted

OF somo prominence lie tho graves of
Q famous writers, Ralph Waldo
Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Louisa
NJ. Alcott and Henry d. Thoreau.

Since tho opening OF tho grave q short
time since by unknown hands, the body
has been enclosed in o tomb of granite
built below the monument. 70 narne

grass growing about tho grave shows
plainly that it has long been neglected.
But little distance away is thcCravo

mark tho spot, and were it o for the
mentioning of tho fact by the guido tho

truth dawns upon him he asks why IL

him here to rest have planted mother
monument nor slab as a memorialio

MAY be she was buried there, too.n
Surely as n looks at these mounds

The Next Senate

Counting Stuhr, Democrat, there
will be six Republicans and seven
Democrats left in the Senate next year
after those whose terms expire, go out
Senators must be elected In Essex,
Monmouth, Union, Somerset and
Gloucester now represented by Re
publicars, and in Camden Salem audi
Warren, now represented by Deluss~l
Gratis. The Republicans should elec
in Gloucester and Camden, and tie
Democrats should elect in Monmouth
and Warren, The fighting grounds
would then be Essex, Union, Somerset
and Salem. OF these counties the Re-
publicans, will have to carry three u
gain a majority and the Democrats
will have to carry two. The chance
of one party is about equal to that of
the other.

Because He is . school Teacher

because ne IS u SCHOOL 1eUcneFs
The election of John N. Glaspell as
principal of the Second ward public
school necessitates the nomination of
another person for Assembly from this
district. -Ecening Nescs.
Well, well. This is a pretty state of
affairs. Because a man happens to
teach school he is debarred from being
a member of the Legislature. Possibly
there is some provision in the State
Constitution that disqualifies school
teacher or man OF education from be-
ing an Assemblyman, but We plead
ignorant of its whereabouts.
Seriously, however, we cannot see
why members of the Legislature
should not come from among school
teachers as from any other class of
business men. We do not know
whether Mr.. Glaspell desires re-
nomination or not. One thing is GER
tain he has made a creditable repre-
sentative, and if he is willing to accept
a denomination this Fall, he is justly
entitled to it.

OCEAN GROVES OPENING.
The Camp Meeting Services Held
Yesterday.

The opening day of the Ocean
Grove Camp Meeting Ass ociation, was
signalized Sunday, by a series of re
ligious exercises from early dawn ur-
I'll late at night. All the meetings
were attended by large crowds. At
a. m., Mrs. DR.. Palmer's morning SER
vice opened in the tabernacle, and as
the same hour young peoples meet
ing was held in the young peoples
temple, presided over by Evangelist
Charles H. Yatman. At 1890 a. III ,

Hanlon, D. D., of Pennington Semi
nary; Rev. DR.. Tucker and Rev. G. II.

How About This.

A careful reading of the New Jersey
crop report reveals the starting fact
that pretty much everything is fail
ure. We knew that the berries and
early small fruits had not panned out
we'll, but had hoped that tho staples .
would show up better, later. The
only things that seem to flourish ex-
ceedingld are the wild, and too little
taken into the account, black and
huckel-berries. No experiment Sta
tions have been established In their
interest, and DO care taken to help on
their growth. Nature steadily looks
after her contribution to the common
veal, while all the art applied too Of
ten appears as mis-direGt effort.

AUGUST MEETING.
Riverside Driving Association
Formed.

A number of gentlemen interested
in sporting affairs generally, and horse
trotting especially, hsld a meeting June
25th, and formed what is to be known
as the Riverside Driving Association.
The organization was formed by the
election of Jacob Mengel, President;
Walter II. Bacon, Secretary, and David
Davis. Treasurer.
The association will have meetings
at Riverside, the first one to be an
elaborate affair, which will attract a
large number of good horses to Bridge
ton. The meeting will be held two
days, and will take place on the 18th
14th of August. one week before the
Cumberland County Agricultural So
ciety exhibition.
The Riverside Association fixed upon
this date to make an easy circuit for
the horses, and will have the effect of
bringing some fast horses here, which
will be kept over and put in the con-
tests at the Fair grounds.
The new association have already
commenced active work upon the ar
rangements for the meeting. There
will probably be six races, three each
day, and the prizes will aggregate
from $500 to $500. The association
will put the grounds in first class
shape, and specta tors will find every
comfort there. The best horses will
be here, and excellent sport will be
looked for.
The new association promises to
make exceedingly interesting times at
Riverside, and will make this driving
park one of the most prominent in the
state. The track Is in the National
Association. and all the races will be
trotted under the rules Of that or
gen'zation.

Bill Smith, who is languishing in jail

Temperance Union, and ascertain If
they will raise $36, SO that he can be
released by July 4th, in order to cele-
brate the nations birthday.
Bill says in the letter that If the w.

Rev. John Handley has been secured
to deliver the Fourth of July oration
for A. L. Robeson Post, No. 40 G.. A.

very fortunate In securing this speaker
as he was sought after by a large mum
ber of committees who are arranging
for demonstrations. He had engaged
to deliver an oration at Canton, Salem
county, on the Fourth, but the com.
mittee then changed the date to the

Serious Charge.

Josiah Jones who was brought over
from Millville Friday afternoon, and
lodged in jail on commitment of Mayor
Whitaker, emphatically dcnies the
published statements about his case.
He was charged with perpetrating
an indecent assault on the twelve
year old daughter of DIR. Stade, a
dentist of Millville, on last Wednesday.
Jones runs a cent store on High
street. for J. w. Fleet, of Pottsville,
Pa, and it is alleged that the assault
was perpetrated on the little girl i'm his
store.
To a PIONEER reporter. he declared
that every word of the statement
published about him ''is lie," but he
admits that the child came to his store
and purchased some articles which
did not suit, and she brought them
back to exchange them; that, having
no children of bis own he is fond OIL
children and always makes much ol
them. He talked fondly to the child
patted her on the cheek, petted her
and put his arm around her. but thai
he did not make any indecent at
tempts upon her nor any indecent
motions, and had no thought Of doing
SO. The child stood near the front
door of the store all the time, he said
in plain view of the street, and only 9
net door was closed. He denies thai
anyone came in the store or that the
child was behind the counter.
He does not refer to the story of the
two ladies who entered the store and
saw him with the child in the bach
part of the store behind the counter
There was so much excitement
against him, that no one would go hi
bail for the small sum of $500, and, in
deed, it was thought safest to commit
him and get him out Of Millville al
soon as possible. to prevent rough
usage from the citizens, SO great wal
the indignation against him.
