DIsCONTENT GROWING.
Lot Holders at Ocean Grove Have s D. Grievance.

Ocean Grove, N. .J., Sept 14.-Dis- content on the part of the lot holders in Ocean Grove over what they term the desporic rule of the Camp Meeting association, which controls the inter- nal and religious affairs of the resort, is growing. At meeting of the exc cutire committee of the recently or ganized Taxpayers association it was decided to ask the Camp Meeting association at its annual meeting next month, to redress the wrongs of which complaint is made,
 The chief demands are representa- tion in the body which governs and taxes them, open meetings of the as- sociation and public statements of tue association's finances.
 In case the request is refused the lot holders will organize a league and make an attempt to have the legisla- ture amend the associations. charter Appeal will also be made to the New ark and New Jersey annual confer ences, of the Methodist Episcopal church to have those bodies appoint committees to investigate the work ings of the Camp Meeting associa- tion

POMEROY TO REMAIN.
Famous Boy Murderer of Children is
 Dangerous Criminal.

Boston, Sept. 14.-Jesse H. Pom- eroy, the famous murderer, will re- main in solitary confinement at the state prison at Charlestown, accord ing to decision announced by Cover nor Curtis Guild, Jr, last night Rev F. H. Gile, secretary of the American Society for Promoting Criminal Anth- ropology, recently sent petition to Governor Guild asking that that DOT tion of Pomeroy's life sentence pre- scribing solitary confinement should be commuted. In letter to MT Gile, made public last night, Governor Guild says:
 ''As I should not myself, even if the council should recommend it, agree to loose this homicidal criminal among the inmates with less weight of guilt upon their souls, with the chance also that such comparative freedom might result in his complete escape, I cannot even refer the mat ter to the council for it's discussion.
 Governor Guild enclosed with this letter a report from Deputy Warden N. D. Allen of the state prison in which Deputy Allen says with regard to trusting him in the workshops:
 Judging from his past attempts to escape, with greater opportunity to secure tools he might be very trouble some in this respect. We have never regarded him as a man whom we could trust

CRUSHED AUTO
Norwalk's Street Commissioner Was Run Down and Killed
 By Russell Frost. Jr
JUST GOT OFF TROLLEY

South Norwalk, Sept. 14.--Martin Kellogg, street commissioner for the city of Norwalk, was struck and killed by an automobile, owned by Brigadier General Frost and operated by Russell Frost, Jr.,. this noon. MT Kellogg, was on street car and evi- dently had not noticed the automo- bile, which was following the car at one side, through West avenue. AS the trolley slackened speed, he junfp- ed off directly in front of tIe ma chine. The radiator of the :,utomo- bile struck him and he was dragged under the wheels. Two of the latter on the left side passed directly over his body, causing, immediate death. The speed of the automobile was the same as that of the car, which was going atNa pretty good clip, just be- fore it slackened speed. MT Kellogg was sixty years of age and leaves a widow, one son and two daughters. One of the latter is Mrs Edward J. Thomas, wife of the business, man ager and part owner of the Norwalk Hour.

Consul Shimadzu's Appeal.

Portland, Ore, Sept. 14.--A dis patch to the Oregonian from Seattle, says:
 Japanese Consul Shimadzu has ap- pealed to Chief of Police Wappen- stern to prevent the exclusion league from holding any kind of Il demon stration that might lead to melting an irresponsible element and causing race riots in Seattle A similar de- mand upon the police chief has been made by some of the newspapers and Chief Wappenstern assured the Japanese consul that whatever hap pened he would guarantee that the Asiatic quarters are not invaded by mob. The Japanese consul de- clared that his countrymen are not arming themselves to resist an at- tack and he insisted the Japanese would do nothing to incite trouble and rely wholly on the police for their protection. Efforts of the ex- clusion league to compel the chief of police to disarm the Japanese and Chinese will not have any effect upon the officials. He will pay TO more attention to storage of arms in for eigns homes than he will in Ame cican homes, but he will arrest any person, native or foreign, who is found to be carrying a gun.

A desperate fight followed, resulting in victory for the Chinese.

.COALFOR BATTLESHIPS
Some of the Big New York Con- cerDs Refused to Bid on
 Furnishing Supply.

New York, Sept. 14.-The situa- tion with regard to the proposals is- sued by the bureau of equipment of the navy department for supplying coal for the. battleship fleet on it's voyage to the Pacific, says the Journal of Commerce, has assumed rather interesting shape here by the statements of several agents of the larger coal mining concerns that they would not present bids Their req sons are that they have not the neces- sary quantity of coal on hand, aside from the quantity demanded by pri- vate contracts already entered into.
 The companies claim that they have no reserve stocks on hand amounting to anything and that the labor situation is such that they can not increase their mining capacity
 Heretofore the favorite steam coal for navy department use has been the Pocahontas, mined by Castner, Curran and Bullitt, and New River, mined by the Berwind-White com pany. If neither of these companies bids on the government require ments, as would seem likely from more or less authoritative state ments, the only domestic possibility left would be the Pennsylvania fields. This failing, the entire 233,000 tons would have to be purchased abroad.
 The coal, it was stated, can be ob- tained if it is necessary to go there, but the prices will undoubtedly be what might be classed as fancy

THE BRIDGE DISASTER.
President of Bridge Workers Union
 Gave Some Evidence.

Quebec, Que, Sept. 14.-D. B. Haley, president of the local bridge workers union, and employed here since June last by the Phoenix Bridge company, gave evidence yesterday be- fore the government commission which threw some now light on. the recent bridge disaster. This witness was on the traveller when the bridge collapsed and went don with it, being rescued by boat from the opposite side. According to the witness he and several companions on the bridge had noticed defects in the bridge. One of these was in the cord just outside of the cantilever arm, the firstone out side of the main diagonal on the Quebec side. They had examined it and found that near the splice and the splice itself, was bulging out on both sides. All the four webs of the cord were giving way, the two out side ones giving out towards Quebec while the center ones were bulging towards Montreal. The facing was bent down in some places and up in others while some showed signs of kinking. About four feet of the cord seemed in this condition. This ex- animation was made on the eve of the accident

HAPPY MARRIAGES.
Value of the Spirit of Compromise In
 Welded Life.

Ndiuc of tVc SPiTIC oT compromise m Welded Life.
 | If marriage meant the wedding of a saint and an angel there would be no problems to solve, no perfections to attain, no progress to make. This may be why there are no marriages in heaven.
 On earth it Is different Husband and wife are strongly human. No mat ter how lovingly united or how sweet their accord, they never have the same temperaments, tendencies or tastes.
 Their needs are different, their man. ner of looking at things is not identical and in varying ways their individuali- ties assert themselves. At any critical moment if both express at the same time a desire to defer to the others taste the result is foreordained-hap- piness. This makes matrimony not merely union, but unison and unity.
 The spirit of compromise does not mean continuous performance in the way of self surrender and self sacri- flee; it does not mean ceasing to be a voice and becoming an echo; it does not imply or justify the loss of indi- viduallty. It means simply the iu- stinctlve recognition of the best way out of difficulty, the quickest tacking to avoid d collision. the kindly View of tolerance in the presence of weakness and errors of another. the courage to meet an explanation half way. the gen. erosity to be first to apologize for dis cord. the larGeness of mind that does not fear sacrifice of dignity in sur rendering in the interes.~ of the high est harmony of the two r,,her than the personal vanity.-Delineator.
