For State Monument at Antietam


The State Commission appointed
some time ago to erect monument al
Antietam, in honor of the New Jersey
regiments and battalions that partici.
pated in that battle on September II,
1869 comprising Chairman James o.
Smith of Newark, (13th New Jersey
Volunteers) Lieutenant Joseph e.
Crowell, of Paterson, (13th New Jer-
sey Volunteers) and Colonel John
J. Toffey, of Jersey City, (3Sd New
Jersey Volunteers) met Monday night.
An important conference was held
last week with Brigadler General
Ezra A. Carrnan, formerly colonel
of the 18th Regiment, and who Is now
commissioner in charge of the Antie-
tam National Cemetery.
The site of the main monument will
not be definitely decided upon until
after a careful inspection of the bat
tie field by the entire commission,
1t may be located near where Capt.
Hugh @, Irish was killed and where
the 18th Regiment received its bag
tism of fire. which is at the side OF
the Hagerstown pike and about three
quarters of a mile from the famous
bunker Church.

The Rev. Dr. j. Wilbur Chapman,
far more in his element when at the
head of some popular undertaking
than when tied down to his pastorate,
has thrown himself into the Winona
plans. Interested in the summer
school there he will direct the Bible
school, and the new Agricultural and
Trade School for boys. At the Bible
conference to hold ten days from Au-
gust 18th, are so many prominent di-
vines as in part to explain the dearth
of them on the outgoing ships to
Europe. This may in part.be account
e for by the entertainment offered
free at the Moody Memorial building
to pastors of evangelical churches
who receive salaries under 81, 600. This
building was erected out of proceeds
of DR.. Chapman's life of Moody.
Captain Hobson, Senator Hanna,
Miss Stone and General Fitzhugh
Lee are to be among the lions of the
Winona season.

South RoyaIton Postmaster Sus-
pended

BY direction of Postohce lnspec-
tor Z. l.. kincaid Will NJ. Sargent,
the postmaster at South Royalton,
has been suspended, the charge
against him being embezzlement.
The incidents which led up to this
action possess an element of strange
romance, the principal fact being
that it resulted in an honest effort on
the part of Mr.. Sargent to aid the
authorities in the detection Of crime.
\ lot Of postage stamps was re-
Gently discovered Secreted in lum-
Der pile near the railroad station.
They were turned over to MIR. Sar-
gent. He at once notified the in
spectors at Boston and Maj. Kin
caid was sent up. Postoffice robber-
les have been numerous in Vermont
and northern New Hampshire dur
ing the past year, and it was hoped
that the property discovered might
furnish some clew that might lead
to the detection OF the criminals.
This result has not been attained,
however, as yet. Maj kincaid had
no suspicion against MIR. Sargent
and no cause for any.
The postmaster has been a lite
resident of South Royalton, and en-
joycd the upbounded confidence of
everybody, in the course of his in
vestigution Inspector Rincaid found
that Mr.. Sargent's official accounts
had become mixed with his store
business--in the same buiIding-and
that there had been no apparent
embrzzlement lie bad Il confer
cnce with MIR. Sargent's bondsmen,
and insisted that some one else
should be PLACED in charge of the
Office At his suggestion they chose
successor to represent them pend
ing further action by the govern
ment. 1t is reported that Mr., kln-
caid has received entire restitution.
so that nothing will be lost by the
government.
