Hts LIFE CRUSHED OUT
Boy Falls Under the Wheels of
a Heavily Laden Wagon
Grief of His Mother.

ALBERT Virgins. nine years old, of No.
46 Thorn street. was run over and killed
by a cart ON South street at 4:45 P. M.
yesterday. He died in the patrol wagon
on the way to Christ Hospital. The cart
was owned by Contractor Dennis Byrnes,
and was driven by his son James Byrnes,
twenty-five years old. of No. 80 Bowers
street. The vehicle was loaded with
stone which it was carting from the
Cambridge avenue quarry to the Boule-
ward. Byrnes, the driver, knowing
young Virgins. allowed him to ride on
the cart while he himself walked on
the sidewalk. AT South street, near Sum-
nit avenue, the cart gave a sudden
lurch and young Virgins fell from his
seat. The wheels of the heavily laden
cart passed over his body below the
groin. Byrnes, seeing the boy fall, ran
to stop the horse. but was too late. He
carried the boy to K.mpel's drug store,
at Summit avenue and South street.
Patrolman William Holderer. who lives
nearby, ~telephoned Immediately for the
patrol wagon. The boys mother came
rushing into the drug store, but her boy
was Unconscious and failed to notice
her. He lay moaning with glazing eyes,
and died before he was half way to the
hospital Byrnes was arrested and held
for m~anslaughter. Virgins parents are
poor and there was some talk of the
residents of the vicinity contributing for
his burial.

POSITIVELY DECLINES.
Assistant Secretary MeAdoo
Says He Will MOI Be a
Gubernatorial Candidate.

WASHINGTON, July "a, 1Ss5.-Assist-
ant Secretary of the Navy McAdoo has
returned from his four weeks cruise
with the Dolphin, more than ever deter
mined to take no active part in the APP
preaching -gubernatorial contest in New
Jersey.
When asked the direct question today
if he was likely to enter the race for the
Go%vernorship. he promptly replied that
he would not under any circumstance
become a candidate at this time. He says
there will probably be a very warm con-
test in the State this fall over the Cover
rorsh5p. but he has no idea who the
Democratic candidate will be. He says
he is very certain of one thing, and that
is that he will not be in the race. He
says he has heard considerable said
about Chancellor McGill. but without
any Information from the political lead
ers in the State. He does not know
what Mr.. McGilIs intentions are.
Mr.. MeAdoo is quite enthusiastic over
his tour OF inspection of the Naval Re
serve in the various States along the At
lantac coast. He says the New Jersey
men are in excellent practice. They have
the advantage of some of the State Re
serves further south by having two YES
sells for training and exercising purposes.
With two vessels and liberal support and
encouragement from the State, the New
Jersey militia is about as well organized
as that of any of the Eastern States, in
Guiding New York, Rhode Island, Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut, h devote
much time and attention to the Naval
Reserve.
If am emergency should arise, the New
Jersey militia could go aboard a war ship
and perform as effective service as the
average United States sailor. He says
the system maintained in the Jersey Re-
serve is excellent, and it ranks with
the best disciplined Reserve in the United
Etafps.

SOLDIERS GROVLING.
The Strict Discipline at Camp
Werts Becoming Irksome- :
General WanseEs
Dinner.
Special the Jersey cYtu Ne,rs.

STATE CAMP, Sea Girt, July "a, 1885,
1t was a very quiet day at camp here
yesterday, though the First Regiment
boys are getting a taste Of the real life
and will not he sorry when the week is
over. The regular routine has been OBJ
served and the drills have been fairly
proficient. The troops are evidently
paying strict attention to business, but
their greatest effort is to keep out of the
guard house.
Very few visitors nave been in at
tendance. The lines are so strictly
drawn that they can enter only at Post
l, and they meet so many rebuffs at the
hands of the guards that they get dis
couraged and leave. The guards are
mostly new men and are 50 afraid of
breaking some rules that it has become
even difficult to enter at Post l without
giving an account of ones self. A
bicyclist was stopped today and the Off
Ger of the guard called. The wheelman
was told to dismount, and in a sepulchral
voice the officer of the guard ordered
that there must be no riding aside the
lines. The guardsman himself seemed
annoyed and under his breath stated to
the bicychst that the discipline was
worse than the regular army.
WANSER DIMES THE GOVERNOR.
Thus far there have been no COM
plants regarding the rations. The quar-
termaster's department is looking well
after the comforts of the men. Lieu
tenant Rowell of the United States
Army, who is drilling the men in mill
tary courtesy, has threatened to place
the whole guard under arrest if there
is now the word along the line.
General Wanser and the Brigade Staff
rendered a dinner to Governor Werts
last night at the brigade mess hall. A
number of visitors were present and the
affair was a very enjoyable one. After
the dinner the Governor presented the
long service medals to the following
members of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
General P. Farmer Wanser. the com
mandant of the brigade; Colonel Parker.
Colonel Boltwood, Colonel Meyers,
Majors Runyon, Broome, Bedle and
Hopper, and Captains Wallace and Nc
Clave.
The Essex Troop made the following
scores on the 200 and 500 yard ranges to-
day, a total of ~forty-two points being
necessary to qualify as marksmen:-
GOOD SCORES MADE.

The Passaic DAILY News" extols the
observation-disclosures and courage OF ex-sen-
ator John w. Griggs for his u~tterances
on the LIQUOR question. We agree as TO
the courage. The News interprets
MIR. Griggs' position in such a way as
to place him at lo~ggerheads with every
element in the State. This is certainly
nothing if not courageous. The News
says
He is not now and never was an ad-
vocate of local option. me measuLe
was in the senate was forced upon ms
party caucus by the member from
South Jersey. He wanted high incense
only.
The intention, here, is to shirk respon-
sibility for the infamous liquor law OF
1888. But this sort of post-mortem re-
pentance will not do. The people are
ON to Mr.. Griggs. He was the leader
and spokesman of the bfue nose element
when it had the upper hand before. he
devoted his eloquence and ingenuity to
defending the action Of the Legislature
of 1888 in succeeding campaigns. He
would. if he had the power, be the pre-
else counterpart of Theodore, Roosevelt,
the New York anti-beer bully. If he
should be made Governor, the State
would be subjected to just the same
yexations that New York IS suffering
today at the hands of a narrow Repub-
lican Pharisee.
Some of the Passaic News" other
comments on Mr.. Griggs are equally
odd. 1t says, HE is neither a politician
nor a goo-goo.'' No, he is not a goo
goo; but we would like to have a deli
nite idea of what a politician is, II ne
Is not one. He has been Senator. He
is an ayowed candidate for Governor.
He is one of the most active campaign
speakers and managers in the State.
Again the News says, HE represents
neither riches nor political pull" No.
the counsel of the Pennsylvania Railway,
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern, and the Society for Useful Manu-
features represents no riches. All these
organizations are no~toriously poverty
stricken.
"He Re the statesman" says the
sNews."
Yes, read his argument against equal
taxation, made at Trenton last winter,
and you will see the sort of statesman
he is-a Statesman for a fee, with a
corporation brief in his pocket.
Let us hope Griggs will be nominated.
Griggs and McGin would afford some
pretty contrasts, running the same year.

Some south Jersey misinformation

The Camden Courier of the goth had
a very funny editorial on State politics.
It gave the public the refreshing IN
formation tina Allan L.. McDermott had
pitched upon Attorney General John r
Stockton as his candidate for Governor
and had employed 'sBob" Davfs to start
q boom for that gentleman. The average
man may take this for a joke. But 1t
is not. The Courier really means it.
Here are its own words
Allan McDermott has started his liter,
airy bureau to work to boom At dcra tis
nomination for Governor. F1rst, ne COT,
rallied the Hudson leaders, without whom
his influence would be small, ana aenoT
of Mr.. Stockton he immediately starred
the ball to rolling for the Attorney Gen-
eral.
There are only a few errors in this.
Here are some of them
Neither Mr.. McDermott nor anybody
else has started a literary boom for MI
Stockton.
sAMr. McDermott does not depend for
mis- influence on the Hudson leaders.
s+Mr. McDermott and Mr.. Davis are
mot now and never have been allies or
friends. Most of the time they have been
bitter enemies-as everyone in the State
knows.
4Mr. Davis has not started the ball
rolling for Stockton.
SIN an interview in yesterdays Jer-
sew city Evening Journal" Mr.. Davis
ssgnifed that he and all the HUDSON
leaders were for McGill.
The Courier affords a curious IN
stance of the misinformation that as
palned off on the people by Republican
papers. .@]~
