Sports.

The New Jersey Bowling Green Club
opened its season at the club grounds at
Communipaw last week. The game is
popular in England, but although it is
looked upon as one of the most enjoyable
of out door sports, having many qualities
to recommend it, there are so few clubs
in the country that the United States,
will not be represented at the interna-
tional games which will take place in
London in June. But the interest in
bowls is increasing in the United States,
and there are enthusiasts who believe
that it will soon be as popular here as it
is in England.
The club at Communipaw is the out
growth of club founded in 1878 by
Christian Schephin.
A women's golf tournament open to
members of clubs having a membership
in the United States Golf Association,
will begin on the links of the Essex
County Golf Club on June IS, at 8
o'clock in the morning with the quail
flying round of eight holes, the three best
eight holes to qualify for three cups
A second prize will be awarded to the
runner up in each event. At o'clock
in the afternoon of the same day driv,
ing and putting contest will be held,
The first and second rounds of the match
play for the three cups will begin at 8
o'clock on the day following and con-
tinue at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
The final rounds will be played off on
Saturday, June is. On Friday after
noon at $50 o'clock an IS hole open
handicap medal play contest will be held.

Bayonne Aftermath.

In the speech made by the Rev. VIM.
P, Taylor at the banquet given by the
Hudson Fire Company to the Washing
tons of our city, the following story was
told which may have some local appli-
cation. The incident referred to was re-
called by handsome gift which the
speaker had been informed the Standard
Oil Company voluntarily made to the
Bayonne Fire Department in apprecia.

putting out great conhagration at the
company's oil tanks
Sitting behind an old gentleman and
his companion in New Jersey railroad
car, this conversation was unavoidably
overheard:

daughter is to be married today, and
tell you right here. that if she ever
wishes little pin money or to get new
dress or anything of that sort. she knows
where to come for it,"
Tom irreverently slapped the old gen.
tleman on the back and replied
"Old man, that's what they all say,

direction send her check right off, and
don't humiliate her husband by making
her ask for it. {"
And the bride and groom were happy
ever after.

HERO Of TWO WARS DEAD.
Continued from first page

Porter to have obeyed the 4.30 order, be-
cause 1T did not contemplate night at
tack and was not received by Porter
until about dark To have obeyed it
would have required some little prepare
ton, movement of troops, and distribu-
ton of orders, so that it would hav-
been some time after dark before he
could have moved from the position he
was then occupying, and at least as late
as nine o'clock at night before he could
have reached Jackson's flank to engage
it. His efforts to execute the order, not
withstanding its apparent inappropriate
ness, demonstrate this assertion.
General Porter has now for twenty
years been laboring under the disabilities
and penalties inflicted upon him by the
court martial of 1862, all that time con-
tending for a restoration to his position
in the army and in society, and always,
as stated in the beginning of this article
on the ground of his entire innocence.
The investigation of the Schofield Board
has, in my judgment, established his in
nocence of all the ofenses for which he
was tried and convicted.

will always be pleasure to me, as well
as duty, to be the instrument, even in
the smallest degree, of setting right any
man who has been grossly wronged, es-
pecially if he has risked life and reputa-
ton in defense of his country. I feel, as
stated on previous occasion, double
interest in this particular case, because,
directly after the war, as General of the
Army, when l might have been instru-
mental in having justice done to General
Porter, and later as President of the
United States, when l certainly could
have done so, | labored under the firm
conviction that he was guilty; that the
facts of the receipt of the 80 order were
as found by the court, and that the posi-
ton of the troops and numbers were as
given in the first of these diagrams.

NOJERSEY GOLD MINES.

Concerning the oft repeated stories
concerning the finding of gold in New
Jersey, Professor Smock says officially:
From time to time in the last 25
years" says Professor Smock, this de-
partment has been asked to examine
specimens of ore from copper mines, and
from other sources, for the purpose of
ascertaining whether there is any gold
or any possibility of fading gold in this
State, but can say that only in one in
stance, and that recently from Morris
county, has ore been produced that
showed even slight percentage There
is silver in some of the copper mines,
considerable silver, for silver and copper
ore are as a rule, found together" Pro
fessor Smock says that after consulting
the records of the state geological survey
he finds instances showing where silver
can be got out of the earth in the State
at profit, but the only traces of gold,
despite the many tales about possible
Jersey gold mines, have been found in
samples sent to the depart from the
Highland mountains in Morris county
last year. These are part of the Appal-
achian range, from which gold has been
obtained in small quantities in North
and South Carolina. The samples from
Morris County showed traces of gold
sufficient, if the vein continues to pro-
duce quantities of such quality of ore, to
make it possibly worth while to work. /"
The discovery of the traces of gold in
Morris County made great stir at the
time among spectators and prospectors,
but Professor Smock says that nothing
has been seen since that time to war
rant the statement that search for
gold at any place in the State could be
made profitable. In fact, the existence
of gold in any quantity at all-the
traces" can scarcely be called quantity
has yet to be revealed.

The 4.30 p. m. order of the goth of
August required Porter to attack the
enemy's right flank and to get into his
rear, if possible This enemy, in the
mind of the commanding general and
no doubt, of the court, was Jackson
force of twenty-five thousand men.
Porter was supposed to occupy, with
ten thousand troops, the position assigned
to him in the diagram given. The court
also seems to have been satisfied that the
order to make this attack was received
by Porter from five to half past five in
the afternoon leaving him abundance of
time to obey the order.
That the commanding general believed
the positions as given in the foregoing
diagram to be the positions of the differ
ent commands, is shown from the fact
that in his Joint order of that morning
he stated that "the indications are that
the whole force of the enemy is moving
in this direction at pace that will
bring them here by tomorrow night or
next day, that is, the evening of the
Both or the morning of the 31st of Au-
gust-and from the fact that in the
80 order he stated that "the enemy is
massed in the woods in front of u.s."
thus ignoring the presence of Long
street. This is confirmed in his map
No. 5, furnished to the government.
If these had been the facts of the case,
there would have been no justification
whatever for Porter's failing to make
the attack as ordered; but, instead of the
facts being as supposed by the COM
handing general and the court which
tried General Porter, they were as
shown by the following diagram. This
Porter knew on indisputable evidence.

A NEW MEASURE.

A bill recently passed the Pennsyl-
vania Legislature which has to do en-
tirely with juvenile crime, and provides
for its detection and punishment by
methods that are entirely in accord
with the most enlightened sentiment of
the day. Its principal provisions may
be briefly summarized as follows: In
each judicial district of the State, one of
the Judges is to be designated to hear
all juvenile cases, and the records of
these trials are to be carefully kept,
apart from those of the other courts.
A jury trial may be demanded at any
time by any one interested in a case.
The court is authorized to appoint PRO
baton" officers to thoroughly investigate
all cases coming before it, and may, in
case circumstances justify, commit de-
pendent or neglected children to suit
able State institution or training school
or to a home, or to the care of some
accredited association. In case of some
juvenile crime the hearing may be con-
tinued from time to time, the offender,
in the mean while, being left under the
guardianship of the probation officer,
who may place him in his own home or
a suitable institution, but must exercise
supervision over him. The child, who
because of serious crime, is sentenced to
the State Reformatory or the State
House of Refuge, is not to be without
incentives to good conduct and refor
nation, for these institutions are en-
powered by the measure to parole him,
when, in the Judgment of their authori-
ties, it is deemed expedient.

WE'LL TAUTo-ScoRcH-
ERS.

We are glad to learn that the residents
of South street and Madison avenue have
at their own expense engaged special
officer whose duty it will be, to arrest the
automobiles who violate the ordinances
of the town. This step has been taken
as direct result of the disgraceful pro-
ceedings Of the party who recently raced
through our streets. This meets not only
the approval of the general public but
with the hearty sympathy and co-opera-
tion of those of our townsmen who own
automobiles. We hope that the officer
and the police justice between them will
make it very plain that scorching can
not be done with impunity in Morris
town

A bill was introduced into Congress
passed both houses, but was vetoed by
President Arthur on the ground of its
not being constitutional. About the same
bill was passed in 1886, restoring Gen.
Porter to his rank in the army, but fail
ing as it should to make provision for re-
endorsement for the back pay which
would have been due him under the con-
tinuous holding of his rank.
In the North American Review of De-
cember, 1882, Gen. Grant in an exhaus-
tive paper reviewed the case in full,
from which we quote:
So far as l have investigated the case
and I have studied it, | think, pretty
thoroughly see no fact to base the
charge of retreat upon. do not see that
any argument to prove this is necessary
because any reader of history may be
defied now to find where and when Gen
eral Porter retreated during the time
specified.
In my judgment, this disposes of the
charges, and consequently of all specifi-
cations under them, except the alleged
disobedience of the A 30 p. m. order.
The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1901-05-24

by two enterprising firms and made to
do some very clever advertising for
them, "simply that and nothing more. "
The second did a little better. It
elected officers-all except the main one
adopted a second hand" set of by
laws that could not of necessity come
within forty miles of fitting it, built for
city twenty-five times larger, and of
an entirely different character, and es-
capped rumpus which at one time SEEM
ed pre-eminent.
We understand the main function of
this new ''Board of Trade" is to induce
factories to locate in this city and en-
courage the coming of a trolley. The
latter will undoubtedly come without
any encouragement; what its effect will
be time alone will divulge; we cannot
stop that, but we can stop the factory,
and for gracious sake let's do it.
Every business man in Morristown
knows, if he knows anything, that bust
is no where near what it should be, and
he also knows the reason, which is sim
ply this: There are nearly twice as
many stores in Morristown as there is
room for. Then in addition to that fact
is one even worse, there are ten or twelve
New York and Newark wagons con-
stantly delivering goods in this city.
This is the condition of affairs In Morris
town, and there is but one remedy. of
which we will speak later.
Now, what earthly good would fac
tory be to Morristown? 1t would very
much hurt the one distinguishing fea-
ture of the town, namely: it's residential
character. 1t would not help the mer-
chant one iota, for stores would multi
ply with considerable more rapidity than
the population. There would come strikes
and shut-downs, misery and loss. No
deliver us from factories. We should
think Dover would be object lesson
enough for Morristown.
The only thing that will help business
In Morristown is an organization of its
principal business concerns. Let them
work together. protect themselves from
dead beats, buy together in larger guam
titles, and thus be able to compete with
any concern. MERCHANT
