Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News
| CAMP VOORHEES,, SEA GIRT, July 10,
| 1898 THE members of Company . OF the
Fourth Regiment can and probably Will
look back upon their muster into the
National service with even keener recol-
lection than any of the other thousands
who have paraded before Captain Butler
and under his able instruction become
members of the United States Volunteer
infantry. Captain Butler was just con-
GLIDING the muster in when 1t was an
nounced by reading of the telegram by
the Governor that Santiago had fallen.
The members of the company could hardly
restrain themselves even in the presence
of the Governor and other high military
officials of the State. While their pres
ence kept the company's applause within
bounds, yet there was depth to their
$50 help me God.' to the oath of alle-
glance and service. AS they marched
across the field there was a swing and
bearing which were not noticeable be-
fore.
Company D. composed principally Of
members of Companies d, c and II OF the
old Fourth. was the first yesterday of the
Jersey. City companies to enter the ser
vice. The men made a good appearance
and marched well. The muster roll OF
Company D was published in '.The Jersey
City News Tuesday.
Company was the next company to~be
ready and they marched as far as the
group Of trees adjoining the Governor 8
cottage, where they halted to wait until
Company X. Captain Bailey, commanding.
of Trenton, moved out of the way. There
was a little delay before Captain Butler
tent. occasioned by the absence of Second
Lieutenant Brister, who, as supernumer-
ary officer of the guard was engaged IN
shipping a man who had been ordered TO
be sent back to Camden.
Company B was the next and last com
pany to be mustered in for the day. The
company is a good one and probably will
be one of the best in the regiment. II is
| composed principally of members OF
Companies B and L.
lieutenant Frank Reinhard came into
camp Yesterday with a detachment OF
thirty-six recruits from Jersey City. The
men were all good, and there was
rush bv the captains whose companies
are not fun. to secure them. They were
given to Companies B, /, NJ and D.
The Morris Guards eff Atlantic City,
Captaln Bryant commanding, We're mus
tered in yesterday morning. and Captain
Bailey's company from Trenton preceded
the Jersey City companies in the after
noon.
The food continues TO be excellent and
the men. are enjoying life in camp.
During the afternoon George Pain. of
Camden. one of the recruits brought in
this morning by Captain Fries. became
quite abusive to the sentinels. He took
The gun from cne, and removing the bay
onet, he tossed the gun on one side. He
struck the sentinel quite severely over the
fingers with it. and in consequence was
taken to the guard house by the detail
called for by the sentinel While there
he behaved violently. and or prepara-
tions being made to remove him from
camp he assaulted one of the eorporals.
In the seufTle which emsued he received
severe bavonet wound DIR. Milliken, the
new hospital steward of the regiment
dressed the wound, and he was sent back
! to Camden.
A member Of Company NJ who had been
| examined but who could rot volunteer was
| treated quite roughly last night by the
| men, and he begged the Governor on his
knees to save MIN from the men who had
| drummed him out of camp.
