PITMAN GROVE, Sept. 24.-This re-
ligious resort was owned literally speak
ing, by the war veterans to-day, on the
occasion of the twenty-fifth annual re-
union of the Survivors Association, of
Company A, Third Regiment, New Jer-
sey Volunteers, and the anniversary was
made doubly interesting by brief peace

The "vets," with their wives and fam
lilies, were given most cordial welcome
by the citizens of this place, and before
the morning session they were escorted
around the camp grounds by cottagers.
The exercises were held in the Taber-
nacle, which edifice was decorated from
the roof to the floor with the stars and
stripes.
The business session of the association
was opened at 10 O'Clock, with Charles
Alexander presiding.

annual reunion. They were Benjamin
F. Duffield. Philadelphia, John Gruffin, OF
Malaga, and Wallace Hempkell, of Chi
cago.
The association adopted memoirs on
the lives of the departed veterans, and
eulogistic words were spoken of the army
life of each of the comrades who have an
swered the last bugle call.
The Bridgeton comrades extended the
association an invitation tc hold their
next annual reunion in that city, and the
invitation was accepted.
The officers elected for the ensuing
year are; President, Charles Alexander;
Secretary, William F. Mears: Assistant
Secretary, E, c. Cattel; Treasurer, Jos.
w. Ore.
This afternoon an old fashioned camp
was held, and the "vets" grew real jolly
and sprightly in remembrances of the
days at Fredericksburg, Chattanooga and
Gettysburg.

Encouraged.
CAMDEN, Sept. 1.-THE leaders of the
County Democracy are flushed with their
victory over the regulars at Vineland
yesterday. Captain c. S. McGrath,
editor of the Democrat which is the
organ of the County Democracy, said
this morning that the action of the Con-
gressional convention in assigning his
faction a status yesterday, when they
had no machine behind them, meant
that the State convention would do the
same thing. He declared that the fight
between his party and that of William
]. Thompson, the leader of the "regu-
lars" is one to the finish. Last night at
a meeting of the Americus Club it was
found that Mr.. Thompson had negli-
gently permitted himself to become
slightly in arrears for dues. The County
Democracy was out in force, took ad-
vantage of the situation and suspended
Mr.. Thompson, who has always been
liberal contributor to the club.

BURIED IN COAL.
James Elwell's Narrow Escape From Being
Smothered.


James Elwell, the expressman, had
very narrow escape from being buried
alive in hard coal, Monday afternoon.
He was at the old West Jersey Railroad
station, on Irving avenue, after coal,
Getting on top car, he turned the lever,
which causes the dump to fall AS it fell,
Mr.. Elwell went with it. So sudden was
the descent that he was soon covered
with coal, about five tons hemming him
in pretty tightly. Only his head could
be seen above the coal, the weight of
which was fast squeezing his life out.
Mrs. Louis Vauaman saw him when he
fell and gave the alarm. Several men set
to work to extricate him from his peril
Gus position, and soon had him out of the
coal. Water was brought and the slight
cuts about his face and hands were
washed. In his fall he injured one of his
legs. His body was slightly bruised. 1t
is wonder that Mr.. Elweu was not
killed.

QuenClOn OF Public Lands, Elective
1rsIohtsS snd Fort Iifloavicns
Washington. July 12.--The American
members Of the commission appointed"
BY the president under the act an
nexing Hawaii to the United States
were in conference at the Capitol yes
terday. Senator Cullom was chosen
|, chairman Of the commission and other
officials designated. 1t was impossible
to fx q definite time Of departure, but
Aug. was agreed upon as the APP
proximate day for sailing from San
Francisco. II Is expected that about
two months will be spent in Hawaii,
and the commission hopes to have its
recommendation prepared by the OPEN
ing Of the next session Of congress.
There was some discussion at yes
terday's meeting Of plans for the work
ahead, but this was necessarily infor-
NAL So far as opinion was expressed
1t was favorable to the adoption Of the
existing Hawaiian statutes. Senator
Morgan gave the other members Of the
commission much information concern
ing these laws. speaking Of the legal
system under the present Hawaiian
government as one excellently adapted
to local conditions. Among the ques-
lions with which the commission will
have to deal are the public lands,
the elective franchise and Notifications.
The members Of the commission gener-
ally express the opinion that steps will
be taken to protect the islands against
all possible foes. both by erecting for
tiications and by maintaining a force
Of men sufficient for any probable
emergency. The present land laws Of
the island are quite complicated, and
the chief end in view when they were
formulated was that of inducing white
immigration. The probabilities are
that they will be retained under the
new system, in the main.
The presidents intention of continue !
ing President Dole as the governor Of
the new territory was dismissed at the
meeting as a matter decided upon, and
was spoken of most approvingly. The
commissioners favor a full territorial
form of government, but they neces-
sarily will postpone the consideration
OF all matters of detail until they reach
Honolulu and have an opportunity to
confer with Messrs. Dole and Frear
the Hawaiian members Of the commits
sion.
