so long that one of the lot owners, Mr..
Samuel Hemingway, thoroughly dis
gusted and grieved at the mismanage-
ment of the cemetery, began a vigorous
crusade against the Buckmasters, who
were then in possession. Mr.. Heming-
way sent postal cards to lot owners, and
these held innumerable meetings in his
house with a view of altering the dis
graceful condition of the cemetery. The
annual election was drawing near-this
was April, 1S72-and Mr.. Hemingway,
with amazing persistence, managed to
carry his reform schemes through and
practically gained control in the board,
ousted the careless servants and their
equally culpable masters.
Mr.. Hemingway's administration be-
gan under anything but rose-colored
circumstances. The Buckmasters brought
suit to eject the new proprietors, and
an interminable series of chancery pro-
ceedings a la Jardyce VS.. Jardyce be-
gan which have not yet been ended.
During these suits, extraordinary matters
came to light, clearly pointing to abso-
lutte fraud in the sale of lots, and, the
new administration was often at it's wits
cdr to know how to s~traighten out the
tangle into which affairs had crept.
GRAVES SOLD TWICE.
Case after case occurred where lots
were sold two or three times, of course
to different owners One was a matter
of public scandal. A Greenville lot
owner found that his monuments had
been removed and his. plot incorporated
in the ground of another. With such
difficulties on Inc n large financial
Indebtedness to meet. the trustees had
anything but a soft snap Nevertheless,
they were men built of stern stuff
and began a plan of reform to which
they conscientiously adhered, and after
much hard work the cemetery affairs
began to assume that condition they
had labored so patiently for, and the
grounds, instead of being a wilderness,
are now changing into a place where the
delicate sensibilities of those who have
friends and relatives buried therein can
not be shocked and wounded.
AS a slight incident of the careless and
.inconsiderate management there was not
ever a bell tolled at any interment.
But the energetic Mr.. Hemingway, whose
wife sleeps IN the cemetery, had a bell
erected ait the entrance and for the first
time the mourners at a funeral heard
the solemn tones of the passing bell as
the cortege proceeded under the arch

So much a been done since the Buck
master era that the lot owners are loud
in praising the energy and thoughtful
ness of the trustees, and their able
superintendent, Mr.. Tilden. These Off
Gals are all we'll known Jersey City
men. Many of them have held high
municipal Offices and all are eminently
worthy of the trust reposed in them.

the beauty as well as the usefulness of
the place. The old receiving vault was
removed and it's attendant nuisances
wiped out, and a new one built by Dick
son Bros. stands in its place. 1t is adj
mittedly the best of it's kind in the
State. Then the walks around the
| plots lave been carefully attended to,
and under the artistic skill n judg-
ment of Florist George Kruse, present
a very charming appearance.
Added to these, many new mausoleums
| have been built, all of which are works
of art and kept in first-class order. In
! front of the park on which these private
| vaults face, the trustees have lately
built a handsome fountain basin, and
on high lays and holy days a slender
| column of water rises to a great height
and throws its spray on exquisite flower
beds around it's base.
Then another interesting addition to
the grounds has been made and this is
four cannons taken from the Confeder-
ates. They were procured from the gov
by the late Congressman Har-
denburg, who intended to place them in
the square at the junction of Washing
ton and Grand streets, but they were
stored in the cellars of the Post House
for many years, until a Grand Army
post unearthed them and now they lie
on the Grand Army plot. Each points
to one of the cardinal points of the COM
pass, and very soon they will be suitably
mounted and remind the visitors and
soldiers particularly of the dread events
of the great war, and their old comrades
in arms who sleep their last sleep

CEMETERY SCANDAL.
Few tracts of land in the county have
a more interesting history than Gods
Acre, facing the blue waters of New
York Bay, and strange as it may sound,
over the possession of this spot, the
last resting place of Jersey City's dead,
which is usually synonymous with peace,
and quietude, there has been more quar-
reling, wrangl:ng, t~reachery, aye, even of
knavery, than in any cemetery perhaps
in the United State. For twenty three
years litigation has continued, and even
to-day the Chancellor awaits the final
report of the master, to whom the troub-
les were referred, which will, it is hoped,
forever end a strife over the home of the
dead.
About twenty-three years ago lot own-
ers were scandalized at the .disgraceful
condition of the cemetery. Tombstones
fell down, weeds spread everywhere and
a more perfect illustration of neglect
could not be furnished. Grave stories
We're repeatedly circulated that tomb
stones a disappeared from the graves,
and shortly afterward reappeared with
the inscription of course erased and form
altered to make up part of structures in
this city. Indeed there are several
houses in Jersey City today in which are
hearthstones and door posts said once to
nave marked the spot where the dead
laid. School boys played games of hide
and seek in the grounds; leapfrog over
the tombstones. and with that inherent
mischief of urchins tore down the monu-
ments and denuded the plots of their
floral decorations.
LOT OWNERS PROTEST.
