ory COMMITTEES of the
Democratic League
in Session,

At the joint meeting of the Executive
and Advisory Committees of the Demo-
cratic Society of New Jersey, held at Tay-
lor's Hotel this afternoon, every county
was represented, upwards of seventy-five
energetic Democrats being present. Re
ports were made that clubs are being
rapidly organized, and that it was prob
able that at least four hundred would be
fully represented at the convention of
the State Society on September q at
Camden.
Visitations have been made by the
Secretary of the State Society. w. S. Nc
Kean, to several counties during the past
two weeks, and he reports great enthus-
iasm in the party, upon national issues
particularly. He learned of very many
Republicans who will vote for Cleveland
and Stevenson. The southern section of
the State is being thoroughly aroused
through the efforts of the State Society
which promises lasting good for the party,
1t was very decidedly demonstrated at
the meeting today that good Judgment
was displayed in placing the convention

of National and State repute. The vari-
Gus clubs of Camden will keep ''open

Is Assemblyman Abram Nash. of Cam
den, whose picturesque eloquence aud
venerable appearance have won for him
arch of the House." Mr.. Nash has
been mentioned as the Democratic candi-
date for Congress IN the First district, but
he said this morning that he would not
take the nomination. He said that
William Thompson. of Gloucester, would
be his successor in the Assembly.

pedition-Will There be Trouble?
BROOKLYN, Aug. 81. 1s92.-All is hustle
and activity at the. Brooklyn Navy
Yard, The United States cruiser Con-
cord has received orders to sail for
Laguayra, Venezuela, where grave COM
plicationS have arisen, and preparations
are now going actively forward TO get her
in readiness. The Concord arrived yes
terday morning from New London, and
found her orders from Washington await
ing her.
Immediately the work of coaling, her
was begun, and was continued during
the night.
1t is expected that her supplies of coal
night. and that Uncle Sans cruiser will
put to sea early tomorrow morning.
1t is 1000 miles to La Guayra, and it
will take the Concord about eight or nine
days to make the trip. Howlong the cruiser
will remain there is not known as it will
depend very largely upon the diplomatic
negotiations that are now going on be-
tween the United States and Venzuela.
The trouble all came about through the
Venzuelan's boarding the United States
steamship Caracas aud taking from it pas
sengers bound for this country.
Although the passengers were revolu-
tienists and had been eagerly sought for
by tho Venezuelan Government, the
United States Government resented the
intrusion.
The Venezuelan Government, it is
understood, has not made reparation, and
now Uncle Sam will send some of his
White Squadron down there to back up
his demands

There is one great danger, howev er,
that the Inspector cannot guard against,
and that is the condition of the Passaic
water, made vile by the sewage of New
ark, Passaic and Paterson cities. Chemist
George Phillips finished an analysis of
the Passaic water for August day or so
ago. The water was obtained at low
tide, just above the intake, and gives uu-
mistakable evidence that there is sewage
matter in it.
''The appearance of the water was
slightly turbid and it was taken fro m the

OCEAN TRAVEL CHECKED.
The cholera has begun TO have it's effect
upon ocean travel from this port. The
Red Star steamship Nordland, which
sailed from this city this morn
ing for Antwerp, carried only
twelve cabin passengers and not
many more in the sueerage. Several
persons spent the night at Taylor's Hotel
expecting 10 sail on the steamship but at
ihe last moment they changed their mind
and remained ashore.

County CLERK of Gloucester county; ex-

SIX DOLLARS A TON.
Local Coal Barons Fix the Winter Tariff
81. Is Ton for Them.

Local Coal Barons Fix the Winter Tariff
$1.15 Ton for Them.
The Executive Committee of the Hud-
son County Coal Dealers Association
today sent circulars to all dealers and re-
tailers that the price of coal
will be increased tomorrow fifty
cents ton. That ia to say, nut, stone
and egg coal have been advanced from
$3.50 a ton to Sc ton. The Executive
Committee did not wait for the regular
association meeting next Monday be-
cause. 1t is alleged, it meant a
loss Of money to dealers. The
wholesale price will be after today 81 s.
for the Goals mentioned, while the retail
would be until Monday $3.50.
The Executive Committee has fixed the
price of gross ton at &c. So These prices
for coal are the highest demanded in
twenty years.
WHAT THEY GET.
Chairman Vanderhoof while referring
to this fact today said:-"I know that our
action will be severely criticised, but
believe that our justification lies in the
repeated advances of wholesale prices.
In May wholesale prices were twenty-five
cents a ton. The following month a
further advance of fifteen cents a ton was
ordered. We did not meet either of these
advances by increasing the retail price.
In July another advance of thirty-five
cents ton was ordered by the whole
sale men, and we were then
forced to raise the retail price
to $3.50. The last raise of twenty-five
cents ton by wholesale dealers decided
US to increase the retail price fifty cents a
ton. We did not care to make the ad-
vances as promptly as they were made on
US, because there is not much coal sold
during July and August, but, now that
the regular season is here, we think it
our duty to ourselves to act as we did to-
day."
EVERYONE AFFECTED.
"How generally will the new price
affect consumers. Mr.. Vanderhoof?"
Very extensively. Few people have
laid in their winter supply of coal as yet
fewer. perhaps. than during any other
year as far back as I can remember.
There seemed to be an impression that

Rapid Flight of Fliss.

"The speed of fyis something that I
have always had great curiosity to
know" said j. A. Bascomp, of Little
Rock. Ark, at the Lindell. 81 rode out
of Little Rock early one morning over the
Little Rock and Memphis Railroad. My
business necessitated my occupying a
seat in the engineers cab. The air was
chill and crisp, and as we passed through
stretch of swamp / noticed that great
swarms of little green flies that abound
in the Arkansas swamps were attracted
to the locomotive by its heat. They ap-
peared almost frozen. They flew along
close to the engine to keep warm. Going
on a down grade of forty-lve miles in
length we ran a mile minute, The flies
easily kept up with us, and really went
faster than we travelled. l am confident
that their speed was greater than mile
minute, and I will venture the assertion
that they didn't reach the limit.-Globe

The Eminent Editor and Reform Advo-
cate Succumbs to Cancer.
WEST New BRIGHTON, S. l., Aug. 81,
1S92.-George William Curtis, the
well known novelist. editor of Har-
per's Weekly and advocate of civil
service reform, who has been lying
sick at his home. corner of Bard and
Henderson avenue, since the latter part
of June, died at forty minutes past two
this morning. Death was painless.
DIR. 4. G. Curtis, of West Newton
Mass, his son, was the only member of
the family present In the room when he
died.
The end had been expected daily
since the latter part Of July,
when Mr.. Curtis was obliged
to keep to his room. His wasting
disease, the nature of which is yet un-
known to the physicians in attendance.
asserted itself at that time more strongly
and his physicians advised tn at he be
kept within the confines of his bedroom.
What the particular form of malady
was could not be determined upon. The
symptoms were like those OF cancer in
istics of that disease were not present.
When death came this morning Mr..
Curtis was seated in large chair in his
bedroom. His son, DIR. Curtis, was in the
room. He had noticed that the end was
drawing near The sick man was in a
semi-conscious condition.
For some time previous he had been
mumbling words to himself, but desisted
long enough to answer questions put to
him, Then he passed away as if falling
into deep sleep.

ROD AND GUN.

No school fish have yet been caught at
any or the resorts on the New jersey
coast, but the fishing for tide runners
has been as good as usual, and some ex-
cellent catches have been made at Barne-
gat bay within ten days. The fish are all
large, and make up in weight for the de-
ficiency in numbers. The average weight
of the fish caught last week was at least
three pounds, and from four 10 fifteen
fish were caught to the boat.
Al. Augher, an Ocean county angler. is
veteran at casting the squid into the
surf for bluefish. and it is said that he
has made cast of 107 yards from the
hand without rod.
Mr.. Campbell made the common mis-
take of nghting the net-drawers instead
of combining his attention to the men who
operated the set nets. What he should
have fought was the set nets, and then
he might have accomplished his object
A number of large striped bass were
caught last week in the bay near the
Bartholdi statue, and in consequence the
demand for wnite sand worms increased
perceptably in this city. The bass fishing
in the Raritan has been good, but the
fish caught have not averaged more than
half a pound in weight. It is early for
bass fishing, however, and some good re-
suits may be expected later, as it is always
considered an assurance that iE will be
good in year when the weak6shing is
poor.
The still-fshing for black bass at Green
weod Lake has been good for week and
large catches Of medium sized fish have
been made at Lakeside and upon the
many bars between there and the
head of the lake. There has been but lit
tie success in trolling or casting
for two weeks and the hunt is all
for crpyfish, small frogs and bug
bait. Big worms answer the purpose
well for still fishing, and they are the
greatest dependauce of the anglers in the
absence of helgramites, which are al.
ways scarce at the LAKE.
A tugboat party which went from Sa.
lem to the fishing banks, off Cape May
caught 5000 pounds of sea bass and Other
fish ON Monday.

NEW YORK'S DONT'S.

The following circular, issued by the
New York Board of Health. seems to con-
tain more practical suggestions for pre-
lished before.
PREVENTION OF CHOLERA EASIER THAN
CURE.
HolO Caught
Healthy persons "catch" cholera by
taking into their systems through the
mouth, as in their food or drink, or from
their hands, knives. forks. plates. tum-
blers. clothing. etc., the germs of the di-
sease which are always present in the dis
charges from the stomachs ana bowels of
those sick with cholera.
Thorough cooking destroys the cholera
germs; therefore
DON'T eat raw. uncooked articles of any
kind, not even milk.
DON'T eat or drink to excess. Use plain,
wholesome, digestible food. as indi-
gestion and diarrhea favor an attack
of cholera.
DON'T drink unboiled water.
DON'T eat or drink articles unless they
have been thoroughly and recently
cooked or boiled, and the more recent
and hotter they are the safer.
DON'T employ utensils in eating or drink
ing unless they have been recently
put in boiling water, the more recent
the safer.
DON'T eat or handle food or drink with
unwashed hands or receive it from
the uuwashed hands of others.
DON'T use the hands for any purpose
when soiled with ,cholera discharges;
thoroughly cleanse them at once.
Personal cleanliness and cleanliness of
the living and sleeping rooms and their
contents and thorough ventilation should
be rigidly enforced. Foul water closets,
sinks. Croton faucets, cellars, &C., should
be avoided. and when present should be
referred to the Health Board at once and
remedied.
Precautionary Measures of Treatment.
The successful treatment and the pre-
yention of the spread of this disease de-
mand that its earliest manifestations be
promptly recognized and treated. There
fore:-
DON'T doctor for bowel complaint. but
get to bed and send for the nearest
physician at once. Send for your fam
lily physician; send to a dispensary
or hospital; send TO the Health Depart
mept-send to the nearest police sta
ton for medical aid.
DON'T wait, but send at once. If taken i'll
in the street, seek the nearest drug
store, dispensary. hospital. or police
station, and demand prompt medical
attention.
DON'T permit vomIt or diarrhmal dis
charges to come in contact with food,
drink or clothing. These discharges
should be received in proper vessels
and keptNcovered until removed under
competent directions. Pour boiling
water on them. put strong solution
of carbolic acid in them (not less than
one part OF acid to twenty OF hot soap
suds or water.
DON'T wear, handle or use any articles OF
clothing or fnrniture that are SO led

BRUSSELS, Aug. 81, 1S92.-A report that

versty, places the Scheldt Board of
Health in rather an awkward position.
The Board announced d few days ago
that the disease prevailing in Antwerp
was not true cholera. and that only few
cases imported from Hamburg wers
known in the city. Consequently it de-
cided to issue clean bills of health to ship
ping as usual.
Prof. Ermipgen was directed to exam
inc the persons suffering with the disease
in Antwerp. aud as a result states there is
no doubt that the disease is the genuine
