New York, June 1S.-More than 72 hours after the smouldering wreck of the big excursion steamer General Slocum had sunk off Hunts point in the East river, the full extent of the disaster to the St Marks Sunday school picnic has not been learned. Out of nearly 1,60O pleasure seeking women and children. who boarded the steamer on Wednesday morning, the bodies of 568 have been recovered, while more than 800 others are on the missing list. A search of the river bottom by diver to-day at place two miles away from where the steam CT was beached, 30 bodies were found in one hole.
 Throughout the day there was 2 succession of funerals. Tn many cases several small cofflns were placed in a single hearse. All wended their way across the big bridge to the Lutheran cemetery on Long Island where nearly all the dead persons will find q last resting place.
 Mayor Mcclellan to-day authorized the police commissioner to contract with a wrecking company to raise the hull of the General Slocum. This ends the dispute which has arisen between the underwriters and the wreckers.
 The funerals began at an early hour and at times the streets were conn pletely blocked and traffic of other kinds was impossible. Every church in the vicinity was filled to its capac- ity. Clergymen from all parts of the greater city had left their own congTe- gations and came down 10 the bereav- ed district to do what they could to give spiritual consola ton to the af- 1licted

St Petersburg, June 1S. 1;4O D. m.-- Tt has transpired that the simultaneous raid of the Vladivostok squadron ana General Etakelberg's march southWard were the direct outcome of. a plan agreed upon by Yiceroy Alexief and General Kuropatkin at Aukden. imme- diately after the battle of Kin Chou, to reIieve the tension at Port Arthur. The authorities apparently are satls- fled with the results of Stakelberg mission, he having compelled the dis- patch north of detachments of the third Japanese army, commanded by General Nodzu, delaying the siege to that extent while at sea the raid Of the Russian squadron has rendered the further transport of troops from the Japanese mainland impossible.
 The admirality has no direct news from the Vladivogtok squadron and has not intimated what it's further mission Is. The papers are all rejoic- ing at its exploits, the Novoe Vremya describing the raid as a marvel of dash and pluck.
 The war office has received import ant news regarding General Kurold and the reason why he is at Siu- \ en with the three divisions of about 30, GOO men and without reserves. But dispatches dated yesterday do not mention his advance. It is believed Kuroki really contemplated combined operations to cut off and pocket Sta kelberg, but that he delayed too long. It is understood that Kuropatkin sent a strong Russian force south of Liao Yang to meet Kuroki's move. It is possible that a general engagement may be precipitated in the neighbor- hood of Hai-C -Chenp

Iokio, June IS (11 a. m.)-A total of oO9 survivors of the Japanese trans. ports Sado and Hitachi, destroyedN by Russian warships, have arrived at southern ports
 The Russians permitted 61O non- comDatants to leave the Sado, but their whereabouts are unknown.
 The Japanese officers and soldiers who were detained on board the Sado had prepared to commit suicide. but changed their minds when the Russians suddenly departed.
 There was apparently no chance given the non-combatants on board tue Hitachi to leave and the Russians raked the crowded decks of the crip- pied transport with shrapnel. The Japanese denounce this action as bar barity, indicating the clear intent of the Russians to kill defenseIess men instead of simple desire to destroy the ships.
 Tolxfo, June IS, 3 ?. m.-The Japan ese government may decide not to make any formal protest through France against the alleged violation of the Red Cross flag at the battle of Telissu on the ground of its useless ness.

Steamer is Now Laid Off.

During the storm Of Sunday the
steamer, "Sylvan Dell'' was very con-
siderably damaged The water in the
Cohansey was very low, allowing the
steamer to lie hard ON the bottom.
The high winds caused the big boat to
rock and pound and very consider
able amount of damage was done the
boat. An inspection yesterday indi-
Gated that it would take at least ten
days to make repairs and it was de-
cided hy the management to discon-
tinue further trips for the winter.
Manager Stetser explains that it is
but short time before the winter
season would close navigation, and it
was thought advisable that the trips
be discontinued now
Manager Stetser assures the "Pio-
neer" that the line will be re-opened
as early in the Spring as possible. The
experiment of running the steamer
here this fall indicates that the line
can be made profitable. The steamer
has enjoyed a very fair business and
the management appreciates the pat
ronage Of the public. 1t is the inten-
tion Of the Navigation Company to
greatly improve the service in the
Spring, and greater accommodations
will be given the public.
The steamer is fine one. 1t is
speedy and commodious and next sea-
son will be especially adapted for the
summer excursion business. Efforts
will be made to popularize the passen-
ger business between Bridgeton and
Philadelphia

State Odd Fellows Meet.

Trenton, Nov. 10. A feature of the
sixty-second annual session of the
Grand Encampment of the New Jersey
1. o. o. F., which convened to-day,
was the address of Grand Scribe Lewis
Parker
He said: II regret that I am not
able to report larger increase in our
encampment' branch, but am happy
to note an advance, however small.
For some unaccountable reason, there
is not that enthusiasm among us that
there was some years ago. Only a
very few encampments are doing more
than holding their own. The great
majority are weakening. Perhaps
some ingenious member Will point out
the remedy. 4"
The membership of the encampment
is 500. The relief fund was $40. 056. 81.
The annual receipts OF the subordinate
encampments were $22, $780, So.

terested in the show and there are in
dications that there will be good
many fine specimens upon exhibition.
The big pavilion will make a good
show place, and if pleasant weather

hibitiOn.

Bible Society.

The Cumberland County Bible So
ciety met in the Presbyterian Church
at Deertield Thursday at $50 p. m.
Though the weather was unfavorable,
the attendance was good, many Bridge
ton people were there, and persons
from various parts OF the county also.
The reports rendered by the officers
proved interesting to the delegates
from the many churches, especially
that concerning colporteur work
nearly the whole county has been can
vassed during the past two years,
many books have been sold, and some
give away. The treasurer's report
showed more than 300 balance in the
treasury. The report of the Board of
Managers was unique, and it had some
timely recommendations A confer
ence was opened by the Rev. M. E.
Snyder, PHI. D., on ssThe best method
of teaching the Bible,'' in which
others participated. The visitors were
then taken to several homes Of the
good people of Deerfield, where abun-
dant provision had been made to sat
isfy 'the inner man.
The devotional exercises in the
evening, as well as in the afternoon,
were conducted by the President, Mr..
James ]. Reeves. After prayer by
the Rev. I. P. limerick the Rev. G.
v. Conover, of the Memorial M. E.
Church, was introduced. He COM
mended the Bible especially for the
young. He was followed by Prof.
Lyon, of the W. J. A. His address was
brief and to the point. Among the
many good things he said was this /:
"The true teacher must be teacher,
scholar, a trainer, and an inspirer. I"
A rising vote of thanks was, on motion
of Rev. Samuel H. Potter. given the
pastor and officers Of the church, the
choir and speakers, the families who
entertained us, and all others who in
any way aided in making this Cum
berland Bible meeting success. After
singing the benediction was pro-
nounced by Rev. Mr.. Potter.

Will Contest.

Joseph E. Nowrey Will contest the
election of Charles H. Ellis, Jr., to
succeed him as Mayor of Camden, al
though having on Friday last declared
in public statement that he would
not do so.
Mayor Nowrey came to the City
Hall Sunday in the storm to an
nounce his intention to make the con-
test. The pressure has been so
strong, he said, that / cannot with
stand it. My friends have urged me
that I owe this to them as we'll as to
myself. | have, therefore, reversed
my announced intention to concede the
election of Mr.. Ellis
The ground on which the contest
will be made is that of fraudulent use
of voting machines and of a wrong
count.
Lawyers say that at least two years
will elapse before decision can be
secured in the highest court. In the
meantime Mr.. Ellis will be acting as
Mayor
The fraud is alleged to have been
practiced by the Republicans in the
Seventh and Eighth wards The Re-
publicans say they retaliate by expos.
ure of gross frauds in several wards on
the part OF the Democrats.

WILLARD HOUSE
rs INSPECTED.

The formal opening OF the Willard
Home, No. Go South avenue, occurred
Monday afternoon and many persons
visited the institution and thoroughly
inspected it. Those who visited the
Home were shown all through it by
the ladies in charge.
The house is. roomy, three story
structure, surrounding it being well
kept lawn. Eleven rooms are in the
building, four upon the first floor, in
Guiding kitchen, dining room, library
and parlor, while class rooms have
also been arranged.
Upon the second floor bed rooms are
arranged, two of them having already
been furnished by the matron, Mrs.
Mary +. Nicholson and her daughter,
Miss Jennie Nicholson, who will be
one of the instructors. The other two
rooms will be suitably furnished to
accommodate at least eight persons.
The third floor has a room especially
arranged for sleeping quarters. The
entire house can be arranged to ac-
commodate at least twenty five.
The enterprise is entirely dependent
!. upon the public for support, and it is
felt that the entire community should
be interested in the laudable object.
Several young ladies of the city
have volunteered their services as in
structors in music, sewing and cook
ing. Glasses will be conducted in the
evening for the accommodation of
those who are employed during the
day.

are without such influence, giving an
uplift to young women who are not
surrounded with beneficent influences
The first of next week at least five
young women will enter the home.
At present the institution is in need
OF many contributions. Tables, wash
stands, bureaus, chairs, carpets, mat
ting, step carpet, rugs, mirrors, win

lamps. clocks, pictures, and such
things are needed.
