Jersey Volunteers.

WASHINGTON, May 4, 1S9S.-Senator

ments. General Sewell will probably re-
quest that the New Jersey volunteers be
included in his division
The selection of General Sewell for this
important duty has been made by the
President without any solicitation on the
part of the New Jersey Senator and his
friends. The President was guided in his
choice solely by his knowledge Of Gem
eral Sewell's well known military ability.
The Senator went to the front during the
civil war as captain of the Fifth New Jer-
sey Volunteers. He served throughout
the entire rebellion and was breveted
brigadier-genera1 for distinguished SER
vices at charlottesville. Later for his
gallant conduct in the field he WAS made

his bravery and heroism. He has been
for many years in command of the Sec
ond Brigade of the National Guard of
New Jersey. and has brought hat organi-
cation up to a high state of efficiency.
Vice President Hobart has been ac-
quainted with the Presidents intention
to honor Senator Sewell, and he warmly
indorses it. Major General Sewell will

eral. one engineer officer, one Inspector

RESIDENTS IN DESPAIR.
The DepiorabIe State Jackson Ave
uue In In.


TIL residents of Jackson avenue, be-
tween Bramhall and C~ommunipaw ave
nues are in despair. The reconstruction
CT the on that t~horoughfare which
has been in progress, or which has rather
Jagged for a north or so past, is the
cause. That street now resembles "a
Spanish fort after having been blown UP
by an American %gunboat. 1t is really al
most impossible to walk on the northern
side of the street as the sidewalks are
blocked with paving stones, mud and
water.
The work has now progressed about
twenty feet past the intersection of Clin-
ton and Jackson avenues, and traffic on
the former t~horoughfare was cut off Mon
day morning. At this point the water
which is being pumped from the sewer
flows up on the sidewalk, making it al
most Impossible for residents to reach
their homes unless equipped with a life
preserver or a pair of boots. The trough
which carries the refuse water leaks
badly, consequently the walks are Hooded
and mud piles form on the walks right in
front of dwellings.
The contaminated atmosphere caused by
the sewage is another thing which goes
to make life miserable for the RESIDENTS;
IN addition to this a couple of foul
forenen are shouting out orders all day
to a gang of Italians, much to the annoy
arce of the women folk. The work could
be pushed faster 50 as to give the people
some relief, but it is thought that the
work will not be- finished before the mid
die of June. About three hundred feet
yet remain TO be completed.
Since the completion of the COMMUNE
paw avenue sewer, worknen la started
the work of laying the paving blocks.
The Tractors Company has been operat--
ing both tracks for a week past, and
workmen have been busy repaving be-
tween the tracks. 1t is thought that the
street will be thrown open for traffic by
the latter part of this week. The side
walks along the thoroughfare are still
piled high with paving blocks and old
planks, and pedestrians have a hard time
getting by there.

GREENvILLB LEAGUE CLUB.

will hold a meeting this evening when it
is thought matters relating to the future

a meeting held about a month ago the
subject was brought up and he majority
of the members were i'm favor of becom-
ing an independent organization. Just
how the matter will be Settled is hard to
ten because the head members Of the
club Seem to be afraid TO take any decis-
