TRENTON. June "a, 1Sss.-The work of
preparing for the encampment of the
Second Brigade of the State National
Guard is going forward at Sea Girt un-
der the direction of Quartermaster Cen
eral R. A. Donnelly. To add to the COM
fort of the men a new mess hall. with
a seating capacity for 1900 men. is being
erected with approved cooking facilities.
The barbed wire fence which formerly
enclosed the grounds has been removed
and a new fence built around the entire
tract.
This work has been done under the
special appropriation mad by the Legis-
lature of 1894, which is only a part of the
money covered into the State Treasury
by Genera Donnelly from the sale Of
obsolete material, and a snug balance vet
remain in the Treasury, which is only
available by act of the Legislature.
There ave been $500 turned into the
Treasury from various sources, from the
sale of ammunIt.enG products of tf1e
camp ground, settling up Of old officers
accounts, etc. amounting to about s., 500
per year, sufficient to cover the expense
of all the improvements made at the
camp grounds. The camp ground Is an
most self-sustainipg. Instead Of hoard
ing obsolete and WORKOUT material. and
hiring men to care for it, it is sold and
the proceeds turned over to the Treasury.
Last year when the First Brigade went
into camp, each regiment emaile d
week. This year the entire Second Rri-
gade win go. the reason given being that
the regiments Of the First Brigade are
larger, containing twelve companies each,
while fl6 regiment nf tina GaoAuS Oct
gade only number eight companies each.
There will probably be nearly $500 men

$1,000 to pay the enlisted men.

The improvement of Magnolia avenue
is progressing satisfactorily. A layer of
stones has been deposited upon the

avenue touches the Boulevard down two

street has already been improved. The
work will then continue from Chestnut
avenue TO Waldo avenue. This will

poses. Freund was driving a wagon
used in conveying we.s beer.
At the Seventh precinct station house
Sergeant Cohin told Freund he would
parole him, as he was a resident of the

Well said Freund, 81 won't promise,
but I'll try and be there"

The aEvening Jeurnal''fn the Pillory
Less h a month ago, the Evening

Less than a month ago, the Evening
journal printed in its editorial columns
an dnsolent and uncaiied for admonitior
to THE News not to o%vercharge thu
city for printing the liquor license ad-
vertisements. THE News in its natura
Indignation at this wanton Insult laid
before the public the fact, which had
just come to its knowledge, that tbs
Journal had itself o~verctlarged the
city nearly $500 in the past year or ac-
count of these advertisements. The
News further pointed out hat these
o~yercharges could only have been made
through the gross neglect and ignorance
Of the law or else by the guilty conniv-
ance OF E. W. wocney. who was City
Clerk during the period OF the Illegal
and extortionate charges.
Mr.. Woolley attempted to juggle with
the law of the case n a letter to the
journal" and the Journal itself
foared with rage at the disclosure of
its POPULATIONS. But these exhibitions of
terror and malice did not deter the
Board of Aldermen from ordering an in
v~estigation of the subject. Corporation
Counse, Blair has just concluded his
inquiry, n the result was laid before
the Boar last night in the form of an
opinion upon the law and the facts. It
shows conclusively that in the statutory
year of 1856 the Journal Illegally over
charged the city s47S.76 on his account.
C. B.-Mr. Blair's method of eomputa-
tIon IS slightly hi true
amount Of the overcharge is s47710.)
The Aldermen have spread the opinion
in full on theiy minutes without further
acton. This IS. no doubt, to give the
Journal" an opportunity to make resti-
tuition without incurr:ng the further dis
grace of a suit. OF course, if the money
is not refunded, the suit will be brought
for its recovery in a short time.
In this painful business. Mr.. Sheffield
Phelps VIII lave the sympathy of the
public. The greater part of the over
charge was made before he purchased
the Journal, He was probably never
aware of the o~vercharge. We also desire
to acquit him of responsibility for the
~blackguardly innuendo in the Journals"
column which melted this disclosure.
We believe he was equally innocent of
responsibility for the shameful abuse of
Alderman Heavey which appeared in the
Journal when he, as was the duty of
a sworn officer of the city. introduced
the resolution calling for a formal inves-
tieation- Mr.. Phelps. it is understood,
was busy with the Newark branch of his
newspaper trust at the time of these
publications. The coarse vulgarity of
MIND and style shown in these articles
as well as their contemplate hypocrisy
clearly indicates who was their real
author and i~nstsgator.
It IS not often that poetic justice is vim
Dictated in SO gratifying a manner as it
is on this occasion.

THE paving Of the space between the
tracks Of the Consolidated Traction Com
pany with brick win be satisfactory to
everyone. Brick gives a fine smooth sur
face. It does nor in any way mar the APP
pearance Of the streets. and it is sufn-
GENTLY durable for all purposes Of traffic
IN asphalted streets.
The plea of the company regarding the
expense Of asphalt. considering the fire.
quent repairs necessary to its tracks, was
9 reasonable one. and the city authorities
did well in giving consideration to it. Now
that the agreement has been reached,
however, the Street and Water Commis-
s.oners should Insist on the brick being
laid at once, so that the streets may be
soon available for the pleasure traffic to
which they are to be so largely devoted.

THE OTTER AND HIS PREY.

victims, both by land and by waters. 1t IS
unlucky that Maj. Fisher, who writes
on such subjects with his keen interest
Of a sportsman, should not have seen his
testimony which would have saved him
the gratuituous error Of denying that the
otter seeks his prey on land as well as in

that this arrangement was for the conve-
nience of the otter in Selling his slippery
victims from below. This being DEM
onstrably a mistake. we are tempted to
suggest that this upward gaze enables
him in his tong dives to keep in view the
course Of the eddies and the outline of the
bank-matters which closely concern him.
But, Of course, this Is mere conjecture.
We know, however, that whether on land

The observer on this occasion, whose
attention was frs. drawn by the cries OF
the rabbit. was, fortunately, himself a
master Of other hounds used to watching
the stealthy maneuyers Of the enemy. he
had with him a sharp fox terrier, and
though on the opposite side of the stream
to that ON which the otter was dining,
rather expected the latter to make himself
scarce when the dog appeared. But
the marauder showed amusing GOODNESS;
he dropped into the stream, raieed mis-
head above the water a few yards from
the bank and watched the terriWs pro-
ceedings Having satisfied himself that
the dog had no taste for anything beyond
