Wreck of the Sailors Exchange.
Complaints are again being made by The
neighboJs that the ruins OF the old Sailors
Exchange. 1877 and $50 Cherry street. are In
an unsafe condition. The place was burned
out last May. Some Of the coping stones on
the south wall over the sidewalk are loosened
from the brick work and look as though they
might fall into the street at any moment
The property is owned by Peter Young and
his brothers Of Brooklyn. They want to sell
It. A. Bush Of 95 Monroe street is anxious to
buy. Mr. Bush and Mr.. Young also agree
upon tho price. but the deal is not to
be made SO easily. Immediately after the
fire one Of the former tenants. the Harrison
Drug Mills. came back. looked over the wreck.
and found enough left to open shop in. They
had a seven years lease from Mr. Young. and
settled In u room in the southwest corner OF
the building. The entrance is directly under
the dangerous: looking coping stones. hutthey
them. but they don't mind that If III. weather
is very severe they don't open shop, There
are at least 200 loads OF ashes and cinders, in
side the walls. and the stuff blows up and down
the streets for bloc ks whenever there is the
alightest wind. But that is no matter. Mr..
Bush thinks that they may be waiting to have
the lease bought out.

that there Is a fierce combat ahead. The
list OF candidates Is led by j. A. Weldrick,

years been the senior vice commander.

promotion He will have as his principal
competitor Colonel Henry NJ. Sawyer, Of
Cape May City. He has been in the field
for several years. His friends are trying
to induce him TO accept complimentary

Ii would take much dickering and many
combinations to secure the honor for
South Jersey because Of the fact that

erly, had 1t In 1883 and 1890. The Grand
Army Is much stronger In the

more recognition. Frederick Boor
Of Jersey City, now junior vice, will be u
candidate. aad after getting the compile
mentary vote he desires will accept senior

to get it. should the fight between VIII
