Think the return Of regiments now
here would not be advisable, as others
coming would have to go through the
same acclimating condition. Would advise
that certain sick be sent home, whose re-
covery would doubtless be quickened. If
regiments are sent to take the place of
those now here, special attention should
be given to selecting those under good

Daniel B. Ginenback, a well known
citizen and soldier in the late war, died
at his home on Giles street Sunday
morning, after a period of sickness for
several weeks. His disease was dropsy,
from which he had suffered for years, but
not in such form as to confine him TO
the house. His case became suddenly
worse, until the end came Sunday.
AT the call of the war, Mr.. Ginenback
responded, and went through the strife of
the late civil war, going out with the
Cumberland Greys.
He served his country faithfully, and
returned to his home and family in this
city. After the war he held position in
some Western State, as paymaster of the
army. Coming back to Bridgeton, he
was afterward appointed deputy internal
| collector, which position he held under
the lamented Garfeld's administration
After his term of office as deputy he
held the office of Justice of Peace for
several years. For three or four years
past he has been census enumerator, in

Governor Voorhees, Says He Will Send
1000 Volunteers.
TRENTON, April Ex-Governor Voor-
hees has not yet received the message
from Washington giving the detail of the
call for troops, of which he received a
notice last night. He will not announce
the regiments to be called out until the
message comes.
Governor VOORHEES, ascribes the delay
in receiving orders from Washington to
the fact that the Hull bill, on which the
Volunteer law is based as to formation
and other points, has not yet been passed
by both Houses of Congress. He believes
that instruction will not be sent until the
Hull bill become law.
The Governor to-day stated that New
Jersey was ready to put 1000 National
Guardsmen into the field, and that they
were fairly well equipped. The only ar
ticles they are short of are shoes and
shirts and modern guns The guard is
miserably armed, nearly all the guns be-
ing of old style. AT Sea Girt range the
men in an entire company frequently
shot with three or four guns, the others
being so much worn that they were prac-
tcally useless for good mark ksmanship.
The guardsmen probably will be equip
ped as soon as they are mustered into the
government service, with modern maya
zine rifles.
Adjutant General Stryker says the
State will not regard the designation by
the War Department of Jersey City as q
place for mobilizing the National Guard
| The troops will be sent to Sea Girt, where
| they can be comfortably quartered, as
from that point they can be transported
quickly and ithout confusion. The or
der from Washington said Jersey City
had been selected because of it's excellent
facilities for transportation by railroads
and water.
Governor Voorhees, said to day: 81 am
not certain whether / will call out the
cavalry and gun detachments of the regi-
ments. 1t has not yet been decided which
regiments will be called upon"

two Swede sturgeon fishermen ventured
out in the channel from Rayside. 1t was
dangerous work, but they went in the
hopes of catching big roe sturgeon.
They sailed one of Frank Gallagher's
boats.
The men had not been out long before
they capsized, but fortunately for them
there We're others out fishing. After being
in the water sometime they were picked
up by another boat. The boat which
capsized went to the bottom. The anchor
must have become loosened in which
event it would go to the bottom, fasten
and draw the boat with it. The boat,
sein, sails and all lie at the bottom of the
Delaware. The men had a narrow
escape from drowning.
