Quilt Completed,

Some time ago the idea of a memorial
quilt was conceived by one of the men,
bers of the Ladies' Improvement Society
of the First Baptist Church. Accordingly
the idea was put into execution. 1t
was determined to make a quilt of red
and white blocks, and upon the blocks OF
white. any person, either member or
friend of the church, could have their
name inscribed upon the payment of ten
cents. The ladies made the quilt and it
was completed one day last week. Many
OF the squares prove, upon examination,
to be very interesting, they having the
names of all the members of the family
printed. 1t was intended to present the
quilt to the former pastor, c. c. Tilley,
but it was not completed before his de-
parture to his new church, so it has been
resolved to send the quilt to him at Hyde
Park, Mass. A handsome sum has been
realized from the large number of names.

Ihe Workmen Elected National Officers
Yesterday.

Yesterday.
AsBURY PARK, June 27.-At to-day's
session OF the Ancient Order of United
work men, in Winckler's Hall, some of
the most important legislation during
this years sitting of the delegates was
transacted. One matter of considerable
contention disposed of, was the PROPOSE
ton submitted for the abrogation of one
OF the.t . degrees under which the secret
work OF the Order is performed. The
delegates voted adversely on this propo-
sltlon and continuance of the two de-
gfees was approved. The election of
officers for the ensuing year resulted as
follows:
Supreme Master Workman, H, C. Ses-
sions, of South Oak ota: Supreme Fore
man. D. q. Bicktord, of Massachusetts;
Supreme Overseer, W. A. Walker, of
wisconsin,; Supreme Recorder, M. w.
Sackett, of Pennsylvania; Supreme Re-
celVer, John j. Acker, of New York;
Supreme Guide, Alexander Pratt, of
Manitoba; Supreme Watchman, A. B.
Jones, of Delaware; Supreme Trustees,
Joseph Grape, of Maryland; w. D. Hare,
OF Oregon, and A. G. Bishop. of Utah.
This evening Camden Lodge, No l, of
New Jersey. arrived with their team to
exemplify the work of the Order under
the revised ritual. This team is noted for
! its beautiful and systematic work and re-
ceived high commendation from the
high officials for the excellence and pre-
| cision OF their work. The Grand Lodge
will remain in session until Thursday, as
many more questions of vital interest to
the order are yet to he acted upon.

A Mean Thief.

A thief is thief, but some thieves are
meaner than others. Frank Graves,
colored, seems to belong to the latter
class. AS stated in the PIONEER, Graves
started on his wheel to go to his home in
Baltimore, taking with him his clothes.
etc. 1t now appears that the clothes he
had belonged to Jay Demby who is serv-
ing time in State Prison. When Jay
went away he put his clothes and all per-
sonal effects into the hands of Miss Lucy
Pierce who lived with her mother on
Academy street, Graves boarded at the
house and stole all of jays clothes
Besides this he stole $3.50 which Miss
Pierce had secreted in one of the pockets
of the suit of clothes. The clothes cost
Jay about twenty five dollars.

On his return to his home in this city
physician was called to attend him.

While the Bridgeton fire engine did not
get over to MillvilIe, it was not because
local authorities were not prompt to

they were quick to express their earnest
appreciation. The fire was fortunately
controlled just in the right time, or the

Each day makes war history-each day
the people anxiously await the news.
From the United States point of view
the war is progressing favorably.
The administration has inaugurated
vigorous policy, and is preparing to
end the war with great earnestness.
The news that comes from Sigsbee. he of
the gallant "Maine," is glorious. The
brave captain, upon the auxiliary
cruiser ''St. Paul." pummels the life
out of Spain's much vaurted torpedo
boat destroyer, Terror" and she
limps back to safe harbor, in tow of
gun boat. The 'tTerror, is only
that in name now. Torpedo boat
destroyers have had their day.
The greatest interest that is being taken
by the people just now, is in the cam
paign against Santiago. Gen. Shafter
has proven himself a vigorous COM
mander. His landing of troops so
quickly and without the loss of "a man
indicates his capability. To-day he
mas his troops massed to charge upon
Santiago. The men can scarcely r,
strain themselves. Maybe they are
fighting just now. Last night the
nnion forces were ready to strike the
decisive blow. The brave soldiers
We're occupying the main thorough
fare but three miles from Santiago.
and the Spanish are pretty we'll
hemmed in. All the roads from
Baiquire are clothed with American
and Cuban infantry and ordnance
mule team.
Gen. Shafter has been apprised that the
Spanlards at Santiago, have been re-
inforced, and the army greatly in
creased in number. But the Span
iards are suffering for supplies, and
now that the water mains have been
cut it is likely that there will be a
panic in the city.
Camara's crippled fleet still remains at
Port Au Said. The Suez Canal wont
allow the boats to pass through with.
out paying the toll in gold, andi this
Spanish Admiral has not. He cannot
get coal, and is unable to make neces-
sary repairs. There is little doubt
but that the fleet would return home
Immediately if it could.
The Navy Department is making all pos
sible haste in preparing the squadron
that is to go into Spanish ports and
lombard the towns. Spain is trying
to fortify their towns, but there is
frantic alarm expressed there. The
powers have no objection whatever to
the United States carrying the war in
Spain, and believe that the Ameri-
cans are justifable in thus making
the nome attack.
Dewey has been warned that Camara's
fleet may go to Manila, and Dewey
will take prompt action, so that he
will not be caught mapping by the
unexpected.
Manila may have capitulated before this.
The latest reports indicate that the
city is surrounded by 25,CCO Rebels.
The Captain General, of the Philip
pinet. sends despairing reports to
Madrid, and asks for advice.
1t is expected that the American troops
have now arrived at Manila, and
Admiral Dewey will demand capit-
ulation the moment they arrive.
Gen. Merritt leaves SanFrancisco to-
day, and will soon be with the gallant
Dewey.

DULUTH, Mimi. Jan. 12.-The spec
ial election held here today at which
the people voted on the proposition to
purchase the gas and water plants OF
the Duluth Gas and Water company,
called out 2,75S votes in favor of the
purchase, and only 62S against it This
was the eighth time that the gas and
water question has been presented in
some form or other to the people of
Duluth. The original price asked for
the plant was s2,1OO,OO0, and this has
during the past half dozen years,
dwindled by degrees to 81, 250, 600, the
price on which the vote was taken to-
day. The registration for the vote to-
day was 4,119, and the total vote polled
was 1856. Many people neglected to
vote as the opposition was plainly
weak, and the proposition seemed
bound to succeed. In the wards rep
resented by Aid. jefferson and Simp-
son. the leaders of the opposition. the
vote was overwhelmingly in favor of
the purchase.
