In COLLISION.
The Monmouth and General slOcum
Salute Each other Forcibly
at Pier s.

There was lively couple of minutes on
board the Sandy Hook boat Monmouth
this morning when she made her landing
at Pier s. The Monmouth was due at
her dock at half-past nine o'clock and
was crowded with the summer residents
Of the coast As she approached the
Rector street pier the big excursion
steamer General Slocum was making a
landing at the pier adjoining on the
south.
The Monmouth had slowed down. but
was still under good headway. just as
she Rlided by the Slocum that boat COM
menced to back. The stern Of the excur-
sion steamer crashed into the Monmouth
about midsnip on the right hand side
looking forward in the section containing
the reserved chairs The side of the
Monmouth was stove IN, and the crashing
glass flew in every direction. Fortunately
the occupants Of the chairs had gone for
ward to the gangway in order to get off
The impetus given by the collision
sheered the Monmouth Off, SO that her
lines failed to reach the pier, and, no
check being given to her headway, she
ran her nose into the dock of the Metro
politan Steamship Company, just barely
missing the bow of the steamship II. X.
Dimock. The shock from this collision
threw the standing passengers OF the
Monmouth off their feet, aud for mo-
ment or two there was a small sized
panic
The damage to the Monmouth is not
large, unless she Is strained from the col
lision with the pier. IL Is chiefly to her

Yesterday afternoon Patsey entered the

SOMEWHAT MIXED.
Suspended or Not Suspended is the
Query of Court Jersey City.

There are many contradictory rumors
concerning the reported reins tatement Of
Court Jersey City, A o. F. Of A, By the
High Court, now in session at Brooklyn.
Members oil the court claim that the ad-
mission Of Dnrancey. on whose account
the court was suspended, as delegate to
the High Court was virtually a REIN
who have attended the convention,
say that Durancey was only
allowed 10 take his seat pending an In
vestigation OF the entire wrangie by a
proper committee Others there are who
say Court Jersey City was not suspended
because it refused TO expel Durancey, but
for the discourteous manner in which il
treated the State Court officials.
In addition to the claim of Court Jersey
City that the state Court OF Forestry had
no right 70 order the expulsion OF Dur
anceT pending his appeal in the ballot
box sLuffing case now in the hands
of the Supreme Cenrt OK tue State, the
members further charge that the order
was Illegal inasmuch as Durancey had
been convicted in the lower court over a
year before his expulsion was ordered.
Members who are in attendance at the
High Court session say 70 official informs-
tion concerning the subject has yet been
given out TO the press. and that efforts
are being made 70 ascertain who is circu-
lating the reports thus far published.

LIQUOR DEALERS.
Co inference Of the Executive Com
mittee of the State Association.

Nine members Of the Executive Com
mittee Of the New Jersey Liquor Dealers
Association and all of its Ulcers held a
meeting in this city Yesterday afternoon.
The Secretary reported that seventeen
county associations had paid their per
capita tax and that they would be repre-
scented at the convention to be
held September 8 at Roche's
Hall at noon. The Executive
committee directed the State officers to
draft resolutions to be presented at the
convention. making suggestions for the
good Of the association. Mr.. John Edel-
stein reported that the arrangements for
the convention were completed, and that
it had been decided that the local associa-
ton would meet the delegates at the
Pennsylrania depot -and escort them to
Roche'e Hail.
A member Of the Executive Committee
told me today that the committee dis
cussed in an informal manner the
chances for success If independent can
didates were nominated, and the prob
abilities of an alliance with the Labor
Party. He said this matter would come
up in the convention and be settled there.
He thought that many dealers were in
favor OF il. but that some OF the strongest.
who are Democratic politicians. would
oppose 1t. He would make no prediction
as to the final course the association
would pursue.
A labor man was seen later. He was
asked what he thought OF the rumor that
his party and the Liquor Dealers Associ-
alton would form an alliance.
ut will never be done" be said, 'for 1t
would not be TO the Interest of the labor
party to do so. We could not elect
a candidate, and our strength might be
sufficient to .elect Republicans ia close
contest. We have no use for Republi-
cans and high tariff. and we would do
nothing TO aid them.''
