The Ninth was recruited as a rvj’imcnl of riflemen, and tmiMercd mtc the service at Trenton, N. J , In Soptem-

After serving more tlAn two years, over COO of the originalXfommaud re-‘ \uhsU-d for the war, so great was tlielr

]>etuate the Bovcrnmeuf>. During its four years' sclrloo tho Ninth ’ New Jersey participated in thirty dlstim hatthw, liclitg under constant fire in the trenches before Petersburg, Va., for 100

, days in 1864.

In these battles the Ninth had eleven officers and 245 enlisted men killed, and :t3 officers and more than COO enlisted

uicu wounded.

New Jersey has always been proud of her Ninth regiment. It was the first command from this State to engage the enemy in battle, and in April, 1866, it led the Twenty-third Army Corps dnto Goldsboro, N. C., planting its Uttered colors on the Court House before the rest of the army could cross tho Neuac river. General James Stewart, Jr., at one time Chief of Police of Philadelphia, and the last Colonel of the Ninth, la presl dent of tho Association, and was present with the survivors of his old command on this occasion. Upon the arrival of the veterans they were met at the sUtion by Mayor T. W. Millet, members of Council, John Mccray Poet, No. 40, G. A. IL, and a committee of citizens. Led by Chief of Pplioe farrow, himself a noted hero of the war. officer George Hickey, and headed by Rosatl’s Naval Reserve Rand, a parade was made through the streeU of the city, .countermarching in front of tho residence of CoL George W. Smith, Cape May’s pride among our local veterans. The gallant old Colonel saluted them iu true miliury style as they passed. Marching to the Auditorium, a business meeting of an hour was held, General Stewart presiding. The members iu line were: Bt. JIrig.j Gen. J. Madison Drake, General James Stewart, Colonel Samacl Hufty/Adjutant | F. G. Coyle, Lieut. Henry Hopper. Lieut. Edward Green, Lieut. W. E. Townley, Lieut. R. G. Sheppard, J. Quincy Stearns, Wm. T.

Laymond, W. F. Sul. ford and Frank Heckman. Several members were accompanied by their wives, and though a alight raW fell during the afternoon, there seemed to be no hindrance to the enjoyment of the gallant sous of Man*, and all expressed themselves as being well pleased with their reception here and delighted with Cape May in general; so much so that the question left open at thg_ morning meeting, as to where the regiment should hold their reunion next year, Is likely to be decided hr favor of Cape May. The total number of. men enlisted in the Ninth during the war was 2800. Only s ti itte more than one-sixth of these came home with.the regiment In May, 1865. The survivors of the Ninth Regiment in this county are James V.' Clark, Enoch W. Hand, Of Rrowu Villa, both of this * city; David I). Burth, of Cape May Court House; Daniel Cosgrove, of Rio Grande; Charles M. Preston, of South Seaville, j and-another from Sea Isle City, whose • name we did pot learn.

Contact With Pole.

<| T WAS a terrible accident that befell X Conductor Charles B. (iouder, of the beach trolley Hue, Monday morning of this week. In compliance with a request fur a six o'clock oar for Sewells Point to accommodate a number of gunners who wished to take advantage of tbe first day of the open season for mudbens, one of the company’s large, wide cars was pjaoed at their disposal, and left the Iron* Pier station at 6 o'clock, with Harry llccnclt mutormun and Charles Bonder as conductor. Dr. Gilbert II. Shearer was taken on just before reaching Madison avenue, making fifteen persons on tbe car, among them being Wm. F. Williams aud Harry Oliver, wboareconnectedwith tbe management of the road. The speed was reduced as is the custom before moving into the curve that carrir* tho track back of the Life Savins Station^ , aud it was right there that a staunch side pole stands quite close to tbe tracks. Conductor Bonder bad presumably just stepped to the foot board to make his ifay to the passengers to collect fares, when tbe side of his head struck the pole with a thud that caused Oliver to turn 1 his head quickly, and he saw SoudePs body whirling to the ground. Ho signaled the motormau to stop, and the poor unfortunate man was picked up snd taken by tbe car to tbe Reading Station at Washington and Ocean streets, where a coach was secured and tbe unconscioua victim taken to bis home, where tbe best medical aid in tbe city, including Dr. Patti H- Meersy, of Camden, was called Tbe physicians could ace .little hope for Mr. SoudePa recovery from the terriablc concussion ol tho brain be had received. ■( 'Mias Edith Robinson, a trailed nurse, arrived from Camden on Monday evening, but all care and medical 'attention were of no avail iu tho effort to restore tbe patient, and the end came about three o'clock on Wednesday morning, when the breath left the body and the heart ceased

to beat forever.

The deceased would have been 51 years of age had he lived nolil tbe 10th of tbe pre ent month. He leaves s wife, a son and laughter. Mrs. Bonder Is adangnicr ofl lot II. H. Church. Tile deepest and most wide spread sympathy is felt for tbe family thus terribly bereaved. Mr. Bonder was a good man, and bad that reputation so characteristic of tbe fatally. He was a member ot the M...E. Church aud led a consistent religious life. for some years in business here, and relinquished it to return to his trade, that of bouse palntiag, and it was while thus engaged, iu tijospriog of 1901, that he had a terrible fall, from the lameness of which be had never fn'.y recovered. It was because of this misfortune that he this season entered the employ of tbe

trolley company.

CURRENT COMMENT LOCAL AND GENERAL MATTERS OF INTEREST DISCUSSED An Impartial Review of Subjects Under Thought—The Talk of the Gossips. NART season! This season! Next X season ! Three are tho phrases most familiar to us voter*ns of the Cape, who have seen so many seasons come and go. And to a newspaper man who has penned these same expressions for more than a quarter of a century they have almost palled upon the pen point and cloyed upon the mlufj. But with what vigor the youthful editorial associate* or tbe tyro lu Cape May journalism seizes upon this same old subject and discourses so enthusiastically of the past, present and future of “the seasons.” How apt they are to fancy that tbe “preHcut season is the greatest ever knowu in Cape May’s history;” and bow ready they are to take up tbe cry that “a boom is 011," and that “next season will witness," etc., etc. The Herald makes no objection to these out burnt* of enthusiasm, but always advocates moderation and a careful lookout for snakes. To be suce, there is something doing, aud tho growth of this resort, though not phenomenally rapid at any time, has been steady and of a substantial character. Mi*t*Jces have been made and confidence jgfc* sometimes been mispla^d, but Caffe Hay is to-day the idaal rcaside summer resort, after all. The seasons come and tbe season* go, and many-who have her truest intcresu st heart are found to have passed away with each recurring season. “last season—this season—next season!” Think, In this oonnection of the real flight of time and tbe funerals they bring, while planning, as we should, wisely and honorably, far a livelihood for ourselves aud our families, and for tbe general progress and prosperity of the community. Cape May boons have often become conspicuous and historic by tbeir failure rather than by tbeir success. Wo do know that tbe East Cape May Beach scheme (we are not yet prepared to call It a boom) I* on, so far as tbe effort to lyiMlCE it goes, bdt no man knowoth what “next season” will witness to its progress toward a profitable outcome. So, we think numbering building lot* and counting cottages and hotels tbe new trapt is Tory much, as the Herald declared some weeks counting chickens before they are batched. We prefer to tell you next season what

has been done.

We still con land, that it would be grand thing to open up tbe beach by coi tinulng the boulevard to Sewells Poin with a bulkhead or seawall that would
