Letter From Vera Cruz.

Dear father: We left Norfolk on
July ! and arrived here on the 9Th.
Did not have any rough weather coming
down. The seas were like glass every
day. We lost man overheard coming
down. Missed him on the second day
out Of Norfolk. His disappearance was
reported to Washington by radio. No
one saw him fall overheard. The ship
was searched for him but failed to find
him. The strange part about it was
that no one knew anything about bis
falling overheard. II he had shouted
when he went overheard someone on
watch would have heard him. He may
have jumped over on purpose.
Everything seems to pretty quiet
down here. 1t is the general opinion
that the battleships and army will not
be here much longer since Huerta re-
signed. Fresh trouble is liable to break
out at any time it seems to me. They
have enough battleships down here to
eat Vera Cruz. Practically all Of the
first-class battleships Of the Atlantic
Fleet arc down here. / suppose they
might as well be down here as any
where as it does not cost much more
money. All the battleships OF First
Division and Special Squadron are here,
except Florida Of First Division. When
Florida left here Delaware was temper
arily assigned to First Division. We
are Flag ship OF the First Division now,
since Captain Rodgers, Skipper OF the
Delaware, is ranking Captain. We re-
ceive three more operators from the
Kansas, making five radio men and a
Chief. 1t takes more radio men since
we have to mann two stations part OF
the time. When we are getting under
way, coming to anchor, all maneuvers,
battle practice, torpedo defense, having
drills of any description, the Coming
Bridge Station, in foremost, has to be
put in commission in addition to the
main station. The officer Of the deck |
is in about two feet OF you. The idea
Of having it near the officer OF the deck
is to be able to shout out the orders
from Flag ship, sent by radio, quickly.
When they are sending out tactical
signals they do not send straight lam
guage but send code, which is a court
martial offense for being revealed 1t
is very important that all ships execute

ILL.,, were married at $50 O'Clock this
afternoon at the new Mineral Springs
Botel. Second and Alton streets, in
Alton.
Former Gov. Malcolm Patterson mar
ried sister of Mr. Gardner.
The ceremony was performed as the

OF the bride that this spot was chosen.
The party were looking over the hotel,
and Mrs. Simpson, noticing the scaffold-
ing that had been placed by the work.
men, said the platform afforded nice
place for the ceremony.
Gardner told a reporter he made up
his mind at noon to get married. He
called up Mrs. Simpson and asked her
to meet him in Alton. He caught
train from st. Louis and she caught one
from Clifton Terrace, and they arrived
in Alton at about the same time.
Gardner had telephoned to e. G. Haa-
gen, Assistant States Attorney at Alton,
to look after the wedding preliminaries.
As soon as Gardner and Mrs. Simpson
reached Alton the license was obtained.
Gardner gave the license clerk SIS tip.
and the couple went to the hotel.
Justice Daniel O'Gorman had been sum-
moped. The ceremony was quickly
performed and Gardner, paying the
Justice 800 fee, spent the next hour
buying champagne for the crowd. Gard
ner was accompanied by his uncle, A.
e. Gardner, OF Dresden, Tenn. Mrs.
Simpson was accompanied from Clifton
Terrace by Mrs. Frank Nargel and her
daughter, Annie.
Gardner is said to have become ac-
quainted with Mrs. Simpson through
Mrs. Nargel, who is his cousin. He
often stops at Clifton Terrace on his
boating trips along the Mississippi.
Gardner is 40 years old. His bride Is 81. |
Gardner was divorced by his first wife,
Mrs. Anna @. Gardner, in 1908. Mrs.
Gardner alleged, among other things,
that an arrangement had grown up be-
tween them on account OF his long alb
sence from home on his steam yacht.
Mrs. Gardner was given the family
home, valued at $45, 900, and securities
valued at 500, 900 as the alimony settle-
ment, and was given the custody OF the
child. No order was made
concerning the other three children.

1918, to Edward w. Greer, a real estate
man, who had become acquainted with |
her on Panama Canal trip.

Along the Shore.

Beginning July LIST, the Toms River
post Office was placed in the second class,
which increased the salary of the post
master to $1,000. The Point Pleasant
Office, in the third class, showed consid-
cradle increase in business, SO the post
masters salary there was raised from
81, 800 to 1900. New Egypt's postmas-
ter has received an increase from 81, 400
to 81, 500.
Owing to the depredations of drum fish
on the oyster and clam beds in Tucker
ton and Great bays, dynamiting has
been resorted to in order to kill the pests.
In 1903 there was visitation of drum
fish to these beds and many thousand
dollars worth of seed oysters were de-
stroyed. At that time dynamite was
found to be the only remedy.
Great interest is being manifested
about the special election to be held in
Ocean county, next Tuesday, on the
question of adopting or rejecting the sys-
tenn of having small board of freehold
ers. Adherents of both sides of the ques-
ton are claiming victory.
Strong pressure is being brought to
have Hon. Edmund Wilson, Of Red
Bank, become candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for Congress in the
Third Congressional district. A confer
ence of six men from each county was
held last week. Ocean presented the
name of Joseph M. Thompson Middle
sex named Robert Carson, of New Bruins
wick, and Monmouth favored Mr.. Will
son. The conference agreed that Mr..
Wilson would be an ideal candidate, and
he was interviewed relative thereto, and
promised to give an answer in a few
days. 1t is supposed that the giving up
of his lucrative law practice is the only
question to be settled in Mr.. Wilson S
mind.
