MayHave New Election.

1t is charged by the friends of Silas
W. Volk, who was candidate for de-
partment commander of the G. A. r.
of New Jersey at its annual meeting
couple of weeks ago, that his defeat
was the result of the circulation of
falsehood.
The story was started in New
Brunswick, during the state session
of the veterans held there, that Volk,
formerly of this city, had been dis
honorable dropped from Post 25 in
Elizabeth
Mr.. Volks friends have demanded
an Investigation and there is sug-
gestion that the election will be legal
ly reviewed.
Colonel John Schoonover, of Tren-
ton has taken steps to bring about an
investigation and will leave nothing
undone to secure Volk's vindication.
Volk was senior vice commander of
the State G. A. R. last year and is a
member of Post 5 in Camden.

in HONOR OF
NATIONS DEAD.

The beautiful custom of LAYING
flowers on the graves of departed com
rades of the Civil War was observed
Friday for the fortieth time since
two little girls decked the grave of
soldier boy in Virginia soil and
thoughtlessly started the memorial
custom
1t was beautiful day. Not nearly
so warm as usual upon such occasions,
and the veterans and others who were
engaged in the exercises were more
comfortable in consequence
In all of the cemeteries in Bridgeton
and vicinity were tributes paid to the
graves of soldiers. On all were placed
flowers while hearts were quickened
at the memory of the departed, and
loved ones graves were made beauti-
full
Slowly, with colors draped, the
bands playing funeral airs, the veter-
ans who are nearing their comrades
end, filed into the cities of the dead
where silence is best kept The spell
of Gods acre was upon the military
column, for in each veterans heart
memories too deep for lips to utter,
were swelling. They went to see
their comrades last resting place in
the full assurance that soon they will
lay down their earthly arms and
bivouac with them Tears coursed
down cheeks bronzed with years of
fighting, sobs relieved some, for the
human chord of sympathy which
binds the living to the memories of
the dead will seek an outlet through
the falling tear.
The parade was quite an interesting
one. The line was made up with
members of A. L. Robson Post, No.
AZ, Burnett Burdsall Post, G. A. R.,
Welcome Council and Hope Council
Guards, Jr. Q. U. A. M, Cyrene
Commandery, K. G.. E., Liberty
Band, Drnm Corps, band wagon filed
with girls in white, carriages with
Councilmen and others.
At the Pearl Street Baptist ceme-
terry prayer was offered by Rev. F.
HI. Shermer. AT Commerce Street M
E. cemetery, chaplain of a colored
Post of Vineland, offered prayer
st Broad street cemetery after the
ritualistic work, Comrade McHenry
read Lincoln's address at Gettysburg,
and prayer was made by Rev. D. B.
Harris. A patriotic address was made
by Rev. Mrs. Bnrdick, of Marlboro
In the morning delegations went to
Greenwich, stopping on their way at
Overlook. Roadstown and Shiloh
were also visited. Another delegation
also went out to Deerfield, Friendship
and Woodruff cemeteries Most of
the G. A. R. veterans and many of
their friends had supper at the Post
rooms, furnished by the Ladies of the

HUNT BROTHERS.
ETHEL CHEW
In JAIL AGAIN.

Despite pleadings for mercy, cries
OF fear and fearful confessions, JUS
tlce of the Peace Rex A. Donnelly
sent Ethel Chew, the North Bridgeton
girl, over to the county Jail Monday
night in default of $500 bail.
The Chew girl was arrested again
Monday by officer Cresswell, this
time the charge read threatening to
kill. = Monday afternoon Mrs
Maggie Bridgeman, who lies at her
home on the corner of Laurel and
Penn streets in very serious condi-
tion, the result of the assault by this
same girl, sent for Justice of the
Peace Donnelly. The Justice re-
sponded and Mrs. Bridgemau said that
since she has been i'll, Miss Chew
has remarked that she gave Mrs.
Bridgeman all that was coming to her
and that she did her up proper; but
next time she was going to kill her.
Mrs. Bridgeman told Mr. Donnelly
she wanted the Chew woman ar
rested and she had sufficient proof
that the defendant was guilty of max
ing the statement
Constable Cresswell went after
Ethel and brought her to the Squire s
office in the Criterion building, where
the pleading, etc., by the girl filled
the air for an hour.
Ethel thought Mr.. Cresswell hard
hearted to take girl to Jail, but the
officer escorted her to Sheriff Hendee' s
keeping and all night she occupied
one of the cells.

SPEAKING OF
COUNTY POLITICS.

The friends of George W. Brannin,
OF Millville, declare that the man
who defeats him for the Republican
nomination for Sheriff, will have to
work night and day from now on
until Convention. Officer Aaron
Smith says that Bridgeton should
have the nomination and he feels that
II Brldgeton is in earnest about the
matter and settles upon one man, he
will pretty nearly attract majority
Of the votes in the September Conven-
tion. Barton F. Sharp, the City
Comptroller, is listening to his friends
and many of them are telling him
that he is a most available candidate.
Mr.. Charles Diament, of Cedarville,
is meeting as many of the politicians
as he can, and to all of them he de-
clares he is an avowed candidate and
thinks the townships should be recog-
nized in the distribution of the big
offices Nothing has recently been
heard of the candidacy of William
Fowler, of Vineland, and that is
about all there is at present in the
Sheriff S canvass. Upon the Demo
cratic side it is still said that Peter
G. Henderson is still anxious for the
nomination, and recently there has
been favorable mention of Demo-
cratic Councilman here.
Concluding the discussion of Sheriff,
naturally brings one to the Assembly
proposition, and there is likely to be
some interest taken in that ques-
tion. The other side of the county
has one of the members and he will
be renominated. 1t has always been
the rule to have member of the
lower House from this side.
Assemblyman Moore will endeavor
to go back. He is almost certain to
have opposition from the fact that
there is a sentiment against more than
three terms. But one cannot always
tell what will happen. Millville has
an avowed candidate. Frank Buck,
the young newspaper man is engaged
in an active campaign and thinks he
has a good many friends who will be
with him when the contest becomes
interesting There may be some
other candidates, most likely there
will be.
In the city there will be some in
terestingspolitics. With five members
OF City Council TO elect, there will be
City Tax Collector to choose to sue.
ceed Collector John T. Cornwell. The
latter gentleman was elected to sue.
ceed County Clerk Betohner, and his
time will expire next January. His
successor will therefore be elected in
November.
The Congressional campaign in New
Jersey will be interesting. In the
Second District, of which Cumberland
is part, the Convention is certain
to be held in Atlantic City. There
will be but the name of Col. John j.
Gardner for the Republicans to con
slider.
Cumberland county is taking great
interest in the First District struggle,
and most people hereabouts feels as il
Congressman Loudenslager could not
but help to win out. 1t seems as il
the people are against the efforts OF
the machine to put him down.

THERE WERE
FOUR OF A KIND.

A male quartette at the Mayors
office Sunday morning occupied the
attention of the city's Chief Magis-
trate, and later the four were taking
dinner at the county prison, having
been assigned temporary quarters
there.
The booze shops were doing very
comfortable business Saturday and
the police, regular and special, man.
aged to steer four of the product to
the station house where they passed
a restless night and showed up pretty
rocky Sunday morning when the
Mayor appeared. John Welsh had
been gathered in by officer Betchner
He is an oysterman. Betchner found
him over on Atlantic street, stretched
out upon the pavement sleeping and
snoring like a hog. Betchner got him
pretty well along before he awakened
him, and then he calculated, "Gosh,
I'm locked up, amt II" He was
broke Sunday morning and went
over for four days.
Officer Woodruff was attracted to
John Doyle, No. 2, Saturday night by
his snoring. He was asleep down on
a Jefferson street stone step. He did
not have enough to pay fine and costs,
and he followed Welsh to the Jail.
Special officer Vanleer found Cong
Hewitt, on Jefferson street. He was
very demonstrative and his arrest was
necessary -Four days was his portion.
Rufus Watkins was the last bird.
1t was the third time that Watkins has
been arrested within ten days and
each time he was sent to Jail.
Rufus was liberated from Jail Fri
day afternoon. Saturday afternoon he
was in the bar room of the Parker
House and got into an alteration
Finally Rufus came out He was
thrown out; thrown out violently,
one of the large glasses in the door
being smashed and Watkins face and
head were badly cut. His spectacles
were also smashed. Rufus continued
to be ugly and officer Barton came
along and arrested him. He went to
Jail for twenty days.

The Ladies Auxiliary of the Bridge

a Donation Day to occur during

the intention of the Auxiliary to have
delightful entertainment upon the

Novel Challenges.

Trenton, N. j., June "A novel
challenge was put to each prospective
juryman summoned to-day in the case
of John W. Kelly, on trial for the
murder of Andrew Morrell at Prince
ton last November Each man, after
entering the jury box, was asked if
he was prohibitionist or an advocate
of temperance. If he answered in the
affirmative he was excused by Kelly's
counsel, Edwin Robert Walker.
The killing of Morren took place, it
is alleged, after the men had been
drinking together, so Kelly's counsel
objected to any radical champion Of
temperance being admitted to the
jury. He asserted such men would be
prejudiced to the defendant. The
jury was secured after twenty tales.
men had been.so excused.
Morrell was killed as a result of a
gun in the hands of Kelly, and the
defense will be that the shooting was
accidental.

the date for the annual state conven-
