THEIR LAST YEAR.
All Report This the Best
Yet Local Men
Went.

The last annual excursion of the
Board of Freeholders of Middlese.
county to Coney Island yesterday
was, perhaps, the most successful
ever held. There were 1S9 men on
the steamer Trenton when the local
dock was left about 1890 o'clock.
The excursionists included the MEM
bers of the county board, other offic-
ials, officials of the cities and town
ships of the county, and hosts of the
Freeholders' friends.
The boat left New Brunswick
shortly after 8 o'clock, and other
stops were made at Sayreville, South
Amboy and this city.
The steamer left here with flags
flying gaily, music playing and a
wonderful stock of refreshments
stacked high on the lower deck. A
competent caterer had been engaged
to satisfy the sppetites of the party.
Each excursionist as he stepped
on the boat was met by a member
of the committee and was presented
with a badge and boutonniere. For

raphy to give adequate expression
to the superabundance of his ex-
huberant Joy in the occasion. Di-
rector Fountain was almost moved
to tears as he received the beautiful
apd artistic badge and pinned it up
on his bosom.

were Freeholders Haney, Glenn, Jo-

The breach between the Perth Am

If that be possible, by the bringing

still remain out.
The following statement was Civ
en- out this morning by a high local
labor union official:
There were a number of men,
about fifteen, landed at the Perth
Amboy dry dock yesterday from
Rockland, Maine, sent here by the
company, one of whose officers is at
the present time in Maine. They
were very much disappointed and,
only that they were all without mon
ey it would have been an easy mat
ter to have got them all to return as
they all admitted that everything had
been entirely misrepresented to
them. The company first sent two
men up here last week to investigate,
as the men were afraid there was
trouble here but, being assured that
there was none, and that there were
sixty men at work in the yard and
also promised them years steady
work, the poor unfortunate men
came.

New Brunswick, Aug. 11:@The
Grand Council of the Royal
Arcanum met at Columbia hall
at 10 o'clock today, about two hund-
red representatives being present.
State Regent, James Rodgers, of

Mr.. Rodgers made a lengthy adj
dress, in which he endorsed the ac-
ton OF the Supreme Council except
that he did not think the increase
made would prove sufficient, and that
another raise in rates. would be nee
essary later on.
He said the recent action of the
Supreme Council was an effort to
place the insurance feature of the or
der on a scientific basis, and that it
was only step in the direction.
THAT the hard facts of deaths and
dollars are steadily driving the or
der. That eventually scientific rates
must be charged and paid or the
order must go to the wall.
Mr.. Rodgers expressed the fear
that the new rate was a little toe
low to meet all requirements, bas-

ing his conclusion on the belief that
they made a mistake in their effort
to determine a table of mortality on
the experience of the Arcanum alone.
also that owing to lack of ample ex-
perience with the higher ages the
result was, in his opinion, faulty,
and likely to lead to trouble later
on.
Mr. Rogers address was printed
and made eleven pages He suggest
ed certificates for $4,000 be granted
only to new members under forty
years of age; certificates of $4,000
to new members between forty and
forty-five years of age; and cer-

thought this would keep down the
