DOWN ON
The GUARD.
Fourth Regiment Refuse To
Be Escorted By
Militia.
PREFER THE G. A. r.
Letter From Greenville Tells
The Story Of1cers
Won't Talk.
PREFER THE G. A. r.

1t is stated on good authority that ths
members of the Fourth New Jersey vol-
unteer Regiment now in Greenyille. S. c.,
will not allow the Fourth Regiment
National Guard to escort them home on
their arrival in this city which is expect
ed about April 10. The reason for this
declaration, it is said, is because so few
of the National Guard in this county voI-
unteered when the regiment was organ
lied. Somewhere in the neighborhood OF
about one hundred men volunteered from
the Fourth Regiment.
A member of the volunteer regiment
wrote home few days ago, saying that
there was much feeling against the
Fourth Regiment National Guard. Tho
letter also states that when the commnni-
cation from Frank o. Cole, of the COM
mittee to prepare for the home coming
of the Hudson County companies, ask
ing how the soldiers would come home,
was received, a committee of the six Hud-
son County companies was appointed
This committee consisted of six commis-
stoned and six non-commissioned officers
and six privates.
When the meeting was held the ma
jority kicked vigorously against having
the Fourth Regiment as an escort as
was suggested by member. Finally a
vote was taken, the letter states, and
everyone voted against the suggestion.
The members want only the veterans,
the latter further said to escort them to
the City Hall from the railroad depot.
They also wish the banquet, if there is ta.
be one, to take place several days after
their Homecoming and not the same day
as was spoken of at first.
None of the few officers about the
Armory would speak of the descision of
the volunteers last evening. They said
that perhaps there might be something
given out later if the rumors floating
about were found to be true. They wish
ed to wait for positive information before
speaking.
Chairman Cole said this morning that
he expected to hear from Colonel Gilmore
tomorrow, relative to the arrival of the
soldier boys. The Colonel is expected to
inform Mr. Cole of the date of the home
coming and how many of the men will
arrive. 1t is said that only the six Hud-
son County companies would arrive in this
city. There are about five hundred men
in the six companies.
No information relative to the organiza-
ton of new regiment for regular army
service in this city in the past couple Of
this subject. are inclined to think that
the regiment will never be formed at
least from members of the regiment now
in Greenyille.

A STORY OF ILL LUCK
Chief Murphy Believed It and Sent
the Family to So,nervi11e.

Mr. and Mrs. Bernado and four small
children, who formerly resided at No. 7S7
Newark avenue, called on Poormaster
Hewitt yesterday morning and sought aid.
The Poormaster gave them 81.
Mrs. Bernado said that she put her fur
niture in storage several days ago and
that she started to look for work. She
failed to find any and visited her sister
in-law, where she hoped to find refuge for
her family After receiving the dollar
from the Poornaster she gave it to her
relative, who went off with it and did not
return.
This morning Mrs. Bernado visited Chief
Murphy and repeated her story of i'll luck.
The Chief investigated the matter and
found the story true. He gave her three
dollars with which to pay the family's
fare to Somerville, where the husband
had promise of work. An officer accom-
panied the little family as far as the
depot.

P0LITIcS IN GREENyILLE.
Harmony Among Democrats and
Dissension in Republican Ranks.

The harmony in the ranks of the Demo-
Gratis of the Seventh ward is unparalleled in
the history of politics in that section. At
one time, there appeared prospects of a
hot fight Two men, both good Democrats,
were looking for the nomination for JUS
tice Of the Peace. The aspirants for this
Office were W. T. Horan and William Col
Inns.
1t has since been discovered that Justice
Nat Vreeland the present incumbent, is a
nonresident, which according to the Sec
retary Of States decision, makes his Off
ciaI position null. Hence there will be a
place for both of the aspiring candidates.
The probabilities are that both will bd
elected, as they are popular In the Sew
enth ward.
Republicans as well as Democrats Of the
Seventh ward unite in expressing disgust
at the lies that are going the rounds IN
reference to William Ritter, the Demo-

SPAIN AND THE TREATY

WASHINGTON, March Is, 1S9s.7Being
without means of diplomatic communica-
ton with the Spanish Government our
own Government is officially unadvised
las to what progress is making in Spain
towards the ratification of the peace
treaty. Still 1t is disposed to give full
credence to the report that the Queen is
being urged to ratify the treaty on her
own responsibility, and moreover they
believe that the Queen is likely to yield
to those representations. The downfall
of the Sagasta Ministry is ascribed here
to the course he pursued in the submis-
sion of the treaty to the Cortes. hence it
is believed that his successor will avoid
the same error.

this morning of living unlawfully with the
wife of Anton buckley, who is employed

cause she was confirmed drinker and ne
elected her household duties.

learned that Zankuski is an uncle of Mrs.
buckley and that he merely boarded with
his neice
Mrs Zuckey turned the tables on her
husband and on advice of Poormaster
Hewitt preferred a charge Of non-support
against him. The court found buckley
guilty of failing to support his wife and
ordered him, to furnish a bond of 5000
to guarantee the payment of 81 per week.
This the prisoner refused to do and he
was sent to jail for one year and one
day.

The ice was broken for some distance near the bank, indicating that the drowning man had struggled hard to save himself.
