Camden's Factional Fight

CAMDEN'S FACTIONAL FIGHT. DEMOCRATIC LEADERS WARRING SAVAGELY AMONG THEMSELVES. The Horse Railway Company Elects Officers—Other Gossip from the City Across the Delaware. The Democrats of Camden had another fight among themselves last night. It was the same old story, the Pfeiffer and Thompson faction against each other. Last night was the time, according to the rules of the Democratic party of that city, for organizing the City-Committee. Notwithstanding the fact that John Heileman, who owns the hall where the call for the meeting was designated, had given notice through the local papers that he would not allow the meeting to be held at his place, there were a crowd on hand early in the evening. Instead of one meeting being held there were two. Both factions organized a City Committee. The Thompson people were represented by the following committeemen: Second ward, Harry B. Paul; Fourth ward, Thomas Devine; Fifth ward, James Cleary; Sixth ward, John Foley; Seventh ward, David Corbeth [sic]; Eighth ward, Patrick Whalen; Ninth ward, Patrick J. Farley. The latter people were ready to recognize William H. Getty as the member-elect from the Third ward, but the latter gentlemen refused to take part with their faction. This committee organized by electing Harry B. Paul chairman, James Cleary secretary and Patrick J. Farley treasurer. The Pfeiffer faction organized by electing John Johnson, of the Fourth ward, chairman; John McElwee, Ninth ward, secretary, and William Guthridge, Sixth ward, treasurer. The Pfeiffer people claim that they are the only committee organized in accordance with the rules. There are four Democratic committees now, both factions each having one city and county committee. The Camden Republican Club last night elected: F. H. Burdsall, president; Watson Depuy and Postmaster Browning, vice presidents; George G. Felton, treasurer; S. Chew, Charles F. Ware, E. Woodward and Welling Schrack, directors. At the annual election of the Camden Horse Company yesterday the following directors were elected: F. Wayland Ayres, W. S. Scull, G. Genge Browning, B. C. Reeve and E. Ambler Armstrong; president, W. G. Scull; secretary, Morris H. Hall; treasurer, G. Genge Browning; solicitor, E. A. Armstrong. The case of A. Elwood Jones against John S. Davis was begun in the Court of Chancery yesterday before Vice Chancellor Green. When Davis purchased the United States Hotel of Atlantic City, about a year ago. Jones acted as agent. The latter now sues for services, and the defendant disputes his claim on the ground that he neglected his work. A young son of Patrick Daly, a saloon-keeper, of Ninth and Division streets, while playing with some companions last night was accidentally stabbed in the back and now lies in a precarious condition.
