The Special ELECTION.

Seventy eight large boxes and packages,
containing about 10000 books, lists and
papers for use at the coming elections,
were sent out from Secretary of State
George Wurts' Office. last week, to the sew
eral county clerks of the state. They con
tanned the registry books, registry sheets.
poll books, copies of the election law, in
structions to election officers, election
blanks, and the official ballots to be used
at the special election to be held on the
18th of September.
There were forty-eight boxes and seven
packages of matter for use in connection
with the regular election on November
2, and twenty-three boxes of matter for
the special election.
To count, arrange and classify these
meant vast amount of work, as a careful
estimate had to be made of how many of
each kind of matter was to be sent to
each county clerk. A very simple device
was adopted. which made it much easier
to avoid mistakes in sending out the
wrong books This was to have each diff
ferent kind of book bound with a differ
ent colored back. There are about ten
kinds, and in making out the allotment
to each county clerk it was only neces-
sary to see that he got the proper number
of books of each color.
The ballots for the special election will
be entirely unlike those employed at the
regular elections. Their dimensions are
% by inches. and there will be no enve-
lopes used with them. They will contain
each of the three proposed constitutional
IN full. In order to vote
against any amendment, the voter will be
required to cross it off with pen or pencil. |
Otherwise the vote will be taken as in |
favor of the amendment The number of |
ballots printed is 1880 being two for
each person who voted last fall.
The back of the ballot contains a fac
smile of the signature of the Secretary OF
State and the words: Special Election,
18th, 1897. Official Ballot"
Attorney General Grey, in reply to
question as to whether September Is, the |
the date of the special election on the con
stitutional amendments, would be legal
holiday, wrote to the City Clerk of New
ark as follows THE Governor submitted
the question contained in your letter on
August 4th to me for an opinion, which
have written. have advised him that
September 28th is not holiday, because
it is not a general election day."
The boards of election in this county will
meet on Tuesday, September 81, at one
o'clock, P. NJ, and remain in session until
9 o'clock to revise and correct the registry
and add the names of those entitled to
vote on the amendments.

Caleb Copeland Pancoast, one of thI
best-known politicians in New Jersey
died at Woodbury. Heights Sunday morn
ing, at o'clock, after an illness of four.
teen months. His death was due to q
complication of diseases. superindnced by
injuries received last June a year ago.
Several times he rallied from his coma
tose condition during the past month, but
on Sunday last he commenced sinking
rapidly and the end came peacefully, sur
rounded by his family, consisting of a
wife and two sons.
Caleb G. Pancoast was born "a years
ago at Moorestown, this county, where he
received his early training When quite
young man he displayed more than
ordinary intelligence and shrewdness in
the political arena. Being staunch Re-
publican. the party was quick to make
him a leader in his section, and he
served in his first elective Office as a
member of the Board of Freeholders,
position he filled for several years with
marked ability. He next aspired to
legislative honors, and was elected to the
House of Assembly for three consecutive
terms. Following his retirement from
the Assembly he was made the nominee
of his party for State Senator, and, in
bitter contest, was defeated by Thomas
M. Terrell, the Democratic candidate.
When the Legislature convened his
name was presented for the position of
State Prison Inspector, and his appoint
ment was hailed with delight. He served
one term as Prison Inspector, and in
1890 was appointed Deputy Revenue Col
lector under Collector Isaac Moffet.
At the expiration of his term in the
revenue Office his health failed him, and,
although he remained active IN assisting
to shape the destinies of his party, he re
Trained from seeking Office.
In social life the deceased was of
quiet, retiring manner. but always ready
with stock of wit and humor to enter
tain acquaintance. His country home
at Woodbury. Heights was one of the
most hospltable in Gloucester county, and
his death brings universal regret from all
who knew and came in contact with him.
His funeral will take place tomorrow
morning from his late residence at ii
o'clock. Toe body will be inferred at
Colestown cemetery.

wharf.
Prof. William Roberts Boswell. of Phila

was obliged to stop fishing while the fish

phla attorney, has purchased a lot here

Harry Reeves, of Camden, secretary OF

surance Company. has plans prepared and
has given the contract for a handsome
cottage on the bay front.
The Manhasset is having an excellent
season. Rooms are in many instances en-
gagged until September 10Th, and not a few
guests, when leaving, have engaged rooms

As a sample of what Sea Side Park
property is worth, a share of stock changed

Fish are still biting rapaciously here.
A party composed of T. N. Stokes and
John II. Craven, of Philadelphia, ]. M.
Howell and ]. r. Bunting, OF Atlantic
City, and George II. Fry, of Jenklntown,
Pa, brought in remarkable catch OF
1000, the result of two days fishing trip.
A movement is on foot to organize the
yachtmen who sail parties at this place
and at the pier, into a Sea Side Park
Yacht Club, with restrictions which will
freeze out of the party sailing
business at this place, any incompetent
or ungentlemanly yschtmen, if any there
be. Visions OF comfortable yacht club
house are already rising before the minds
of some of the boys.
Superintendent Wilson Brown, of the
Camden and Amboy Division, entertained
a party of railroad officials at his private
car here during the week. The party was
given days outing on the bay, and re-
turned in the evening well laden with
the fnny denIzens of the water. Four
hundred fish were caught, 374 weakfish,
and the remainder blues. The party
consisted of Judge Gaskill, Thomas B.
Appleget, Walter Antrim, Wilson Brown,
Jr., John Ford, G. c. Bishop, G. E. Wiler,
F. ]. Potter, G. Latrobe and ]. W. Perry.
1t is confidently expected that at least
twenty-five new cottages will be built, in
addition to other improvements, between
now and the opening of June, 1898. A
number of them will be along the bay
shore and these cottages will be as hand
some and as costly as those on the ocean
front, in striking contrast to the rule gen.
orally observed at our summer resorts,
where any kind of rookery or cabin is
good enough for the bay side. At this
place the same building restrictions will
be insisted upon on all parts of the tract.
