REPORT.

State of New Jersey, ^ Office of the Quartermaster General, V Tkenton, October 31, 1879. j

His ExceUenGXj George B. 3IcCleUan, Governor and Commandei^-in~ Chief:

I have the honor to present the annual report of this department for the fiscal year ending to-day. The operations of this department during the year have been of the usual character—the issue and receipt of stores required by the

National Guard ; repairs of clothing, camp and garrison equipage cleaning and repairs of ordnance and ordnance stores ; manufacture of reduced and regular cartridges for armory and range practice. For a complete understanding of the business and transactions of this department, full particulars will be found in the appendices accom- panying this report. But few ordnance stores have been received from the United States Ordnance Department on account of the quota of the State under the annual appropriation made by the United States for arming the militia, the State having overdrawn her quota for the year 1878 by the sum of four thousand and five dollars and seventy-nine cents ($4,005.79.) The balance on the 30th of June last to the credit of this State was one hundred and fourteen dollars and thirty-two cents ($114.32.) The annual appropriation to this State is four thousand three hundred and eighteen dollars and six cents ($4,318.06), under the act of Congress of 1808. At this date the State troops are composed of forty-seven (47) companies of infantry, one (1) battery of artillery, and two (2) Gatling gun companies. During the year one company, A of the Third Regiment, Elizabeth, has been disbanded and its place filled by a newly- mustered company stationed at Asbury Park. This company was organized and armed under a concurrent resolution of the Legislature, passed February, 1876, as an independent organization. :

QUARTERMASTER GENERAL'S REPORT. 5

The total amount expended during the year for appropriation to these companies, in lieu of armory rent, and for exj)enses incident to division, brigade and regimental organizations, is twenty-nine thousand two hundred and seventy-seven dollars and forty-four cents ($29,277,44.) Since making my last annual report, officers have been elected and commissioned in Company D, Fifth Regiment. The attention of the Colonel commanding w^as early called to the fact that this company, as well as Company C, had not made api>lication for breech-loaders. Bonds were subsequently filed and the companies re-armed as follows

Company D, January 3d ; Company C, April 23d. The entire infantry force, including Catling Gun Company A, is now armed with the Springfield rifle, breech-loader, calibre .45. Gat- ling Gun Company B did not provide a suitable or safe deposit for arms until the first week of November, 1878, and it was armed on the 7th of November. The total number of enlisted men uniformed, as shown by the annual returns received at this office, is two thousand five hundred and seventy-two (2,572), having in use two thousand four hundred and seventy-five (2,475) Springfield rifles. The returns show the following condition of arms in possession of each company, and the number of uniformed men in each corps FIEST EEGIMENT.

Cap- tains generally object to an excess of arras on account of the care and responsibility. The amount of ammunition on hand in each regiment and battalion, as appears by the reports of regimental and battalion

Quartermasters, is as follows :

First Regiment, Lieutenant George G. Gorum, Quartermaster, twelve thousand (12,000) rounds.

Third Regiment, Lieutenant Jacob J. Coyne, Quartermaster, twelve thousand six hundred and twenty-five (12,625) rounds.

Fourth Regiment, Lieutenant John A. Parker, Quartermaster^ twelve thousand six hundred and forty-eight (12,648) rounds.

Fifth Regiment, Lieutenant Washington R. Russel, Quartermaster, eight thousand (8,000) rounds.

Sixth Regiment, Captain Richard W. Kerswell, Inspector and Acting Quartermaster, eighteen thousand (18,000) rounds.

Seventh Regiment, Lieutenant George T. Craumer, Quartermaster, seven thousand five hundred and fifty (7,550) rounds.

Ninth Regiment, Lieutenant James H. Symes, Quartermaster, At the date of his last report, December 30th, 1878, three thousand (3,000) rounds. No subsequent report from this officer has been received at this office, owing to negligence of Headquarters.

Second Battalion, Lieutenant Jacob J. DeMott, Quartermaster, six thousand (6,000) rounds.

In order to adopt a system of instruction for the soldier in aiming and firing for use in armory practice, in compliance with your order, on the 4th of January, a board of competent officers, consisting of General Stryker, Colonel Lodor, and Colonel Sterling, was appointed, to consider and test the several appliances in use for that purpose, with a view to the adoption of an arm suitable for such practice. First, the Wingate Indicator was submitted and tried. This QUARTERMASTER GENERAL'S REPORT. 9^ consists of a square steel rod passing through a rouud piece of wood, about four inches long, firmly attached to the rear end by a metallic ring, and through a cyliudrical piece or tonipion to fit the muzzle of the rifle, to which is fastened an elevated sight with a point to range with the rear and front sight of the piece. The Indicator being iu- serted in the barrel, pressed down upon the firing-pin, the muzzle of the rifle slightly elevated, ready for firing, it is ejected by the blow of the hammer upon the firing pin, a distance of from one to two feet. Very rarely was the Indicator ejected entirely from the barrel, unless by a powerful main-spring. It was shown by practice that this appliance would not meet the wants of the soldier as an instructor in aiming and firing. It was important to avoid the severe report and smoke of the service cartridge when fired from a Springfield rifle, cal. .45. For this pur[)ose rifles of .22 and .32 calibre were furnished to the board for trial, with a cartridge of the smallest amount of powder and weight of bullet to insure sufficient velocity and accuracy. Both balls and elongated bullets were used. The firing was made from the shoulder and aiming stand to test uniformity and accuracy, the rifle being securely fixed in a vise. These arms were found to have too great initial velocity and penetration with a sufficient charge, and were tiierefore considered danger- ous in armory practice. The board was then furnished with a variety of sub-calibres of different lengths, from six to twenty inches long, and of .22 and .32 calibre. The sub-calibre consists of a cylindrical barrel inserted inside the rifle, calibre .45. This could be accomplished in the Springfield rifle only by dismounting the arm, and removing the breech-pin. This was found very inconvenient. It could not be done by the soldier except by the use of a bench vise and necessary tools. There was less difficulty, however, in adjusting the sub-calibre in the Remington and Sharps rifles ; with these arms it could be inserted and taken out without removing the breech system. The service rifle of this State is the Springfield. The board was therefore compelled to confine their experiments to this arm, for the adoption of any other would necessitate the purchase of an arm different from the service rifle, expressly for armory practice. After exhaustive trials, the board was of opinion that there was want of accuracy, which, with the rapid fouling of the rifle and difficulty in extracting tiie exj)loded shell, rendered it very objectionable. Next was submitted a steel shell with sufficient capacity to contaiu a reduced charge of powder and .32 calibre ball. This was found im- practicable in the Springfield rifle. The Indicator having been demonstrated as entirely unfitted for any practical purpose ; the .22 and .32 calibre rifles not adapted or considered safe for instruction in armory

practice ; and the sub-calibre, in the opinion of the board, not filling the requirements, a reduced cartridge, adapted to the Springfield rifle^^ 10 QUARTERMASTER GENERAL'S REPORT.

containing six (6) grains of powder and an elongated bullet of two hundred and thirty (230) grains of lead, was submitted to the board, and after being thoroughly tested by repeated and continuous firing with the identical shell, over one hundred discharges sliowed no per- ceptible depreciation, and the results evinced an excellence in accuracy superior to the sub-calibre, or any other of a similar character. A report showing its superiority for the purpose intended was submitted to your Excellency by the board, with a recommendation that a supply of this reduced cartridge should be made, and issued to the inspectors of rifle practice. In compliance with your instructions the manufacture of the cartridge, after the plan of the one submitted to you, was immediately commenced at the State Arsenal. This cartridge consists of the ordinary solid head, metallic shell, calibre .45, the capacity reduced by a brass cylindrical plug, one and five-eighths inches in length, countersunk to fit the pocket as a re-

enforcement, and a vent bored longitudinally through it, in a line with the pocket, to communicate fire to the charge. This plug was then soldered securely inside the shell, leaving the capacity of the shell thus reduced sufficient to contain six (6) grains of powder and an elongated bullet of two hundred and thirty (230) grains of lead. A series of experiments were made with charges varying from six (6) to twelve (12) grains of powder, with elongated bullets and balls, calibre .45, varying from two hundred (200) to two hundred and thirty (230) grains of lead. The most satisfactory results for a range of seventy-five (75) to one hundred (100) feet were obtained with the six (6) grain charge and elongated bullet of two hundred and thirty (230) grains, with sufficient sluggage to cause it to take the groove of the rifle. The penetration at this distance was found, on an average, to be one and a half [1^] inches in sound, well-seasoned hemlock plank. This charge gives a very feeble report and little smoke, rendering it entirely unobjectionable in armory practice in our most densely popu-

lated cities and towns ; the report being barely distinguishable through an ordinary partition wall. The report submitted by the board will be found in the appendix. The total number of reduced cartridges manufactured at the State Arsenal during the year was nineteen thousand two hundred and fifty (19,250.) The total number issued during the year, was seventeen thousand five hundred and seventy (17,570,) as follows:

QUARTERMASTER GENERAL'S REPORT. 11

Each company armory of the National Guard was furnished with one pair of targets, consisting of shield and butt for practice. The regimental armories were furnished with eleven (11) pairs. The total number issued, twenty-six (26) pairs. The butts for targets were made portable, four feet square, elevated upon two front legs and two rear braces. They were formed of four-inch cube hemlock blocks, planed and fitted together in close joints, clamped tightly by means of upper and lower cross-bars, with tenons fitted through mortises in the uprights, and keys to tighten up shrinkage, the braces forming two additional legs bolted to the main support, so that it could be set up at any angle, or folded up for convenience of transportation. They were backed with galvanized iron, and twenty-five-yard paper targets were attached. The shields were constructed similar in all respects to the butts with the exception of an aperture of one foot square, through which the soldier fired from a position at a distance sufficient to cover scattering shots. Under contracts with the New Jersey State Rifle Association and the Stockton Rifle Range Association, Brinton Range at Elizabeth and Stockton Range at Camden, have been well occupied by the National Guard during the practice season, with an allowance of forty rounds of ammunition per man, which was not all expended. The total issued during the year was ninety-five thousand three hundred and fifty (95,350), as follows

There have been purchased during the year, fifty-six thousand (56,- 000) metallic cartridges, cal. .45. There have been re-loaded at the State Arsenal of the various kinds, eighty thousand eight hundred and thirteen (80,813) rounds. By General Orders No. -9 from Headquarters, cartridge shells are required to be returned to the Arsenal for re-loading. The facilities for this purpose have been greatly increased. The State was supplied, upon your requisition on the Chief of Ordnance {of the United States, through the Frankford Arsenal, Phil- 12 QUARTERMASTER GENERAL'S REPORT. adelphia, with one set of bench re-loading tools, consisting of one primer extractor, one re-sizer, one powder-filler, one priming and one crimping machine. Through the kindness of Major Whittemore, U. S. A., commanding Frankford Arsenal, the State was furnished by the patentee, J. H. Gill, with a full set of drawings and patterns of these tools, from which have been made four additional sets, by Mr. Snowden, machinist at the Arsenal, at an expense only for castings. With these tools there can, in case of an emergency, be produced from twenty to twenty-five thousand re-loaded cartridges daily, at a considerable saving to the State. Shells, if collected and cleaned immediately after firing, are quite as good as new ones, and with proper care are serviceable for re-loading a great number of times. If, however, they are not cleaned immediately after firing, they corrode rapidly, by reason of the galvanic action of the several substances of \vhich the cartridges are composed, and soon become unfit and unsafe for service. It is necessary that inspectors of rifle practice and commandants of companies should be more prompt in returning them to the Arsenal. Metallic cartridges depreciate from the same causes in storage, even with the best possible care. In loading, the powder is necessarily crushed, and in time becomes almost a solid cake, and the cartridges in this condition are unfit for accurate shooting. The best results are

obtained from perfectly fresh loaded cartridges ; this was demonstrated in target shooting during the past year. The demand by marksmen was for freshly re-loaded cartridges. It is therefore important that the State should be at all times enabled at short notice to furnish a supply sufficient for any emergency. By reference to the statement of expenditures of the National Guard for the past year, it will be observed that the total expense incurred for rifle practice is five thousand four hundred and seventy-one dollars and twelve cents ($5,471.12), consisting principally of transportation and ammunition, while the officers and men gave their time cheerfully to this service. The transportation is furnished at the lowest excursion rates. It is believed that there will be a very considerable reduction of the expenses in the future in the cost of ammunition, in the increased facilities now being provided at the Arsenal for making up all the parts of the cartridges, with the exception of the shell and primer. The total number of small arms, of all calibres, serviceable and unserviceable, belonging to the State, is twenty-three thousand three hundred and fifty-seven (23,357.) There are also twelve (12) light

Napoleon guns, smooth bore ; four (4) 3^-inch Ames guns, smooth 3-inch bore ; four (4) 3|-inch James guns, rifled ; and eighteen (18) Griffin guns, rifled. These are serviceable, with gnu carriages, limbers, caissons, battery wagons, traveling forges and implements complete for QUARTERMASTER GENERAL'S REPORT. 13 six (6) 6-gun batteries. Also eight (8) Gratling guns complete, and two (2) Billinghnrst and Requa batteries. Also tlie following unserviceable, dismounted: two (2) bronze guns, six-pounders ; two (2) bronze guns, four-pounders, and five (5) bronze guns, six-pounders. Colonel Daniel Lodor, Assistant Adjutant General on the staff of General Mott, was detailed under General Orders Xo. 5, March 19th, 1879, under provisions of the act approved April 21st, 1876, to make a careful inspection of the armories or place of dej)osit of the arms and equipments of the several companies of the National Guard, and to report to this office the condition of the same. He entered upon this duty on the 21st of ^larch, and visited every armory in the State and made a careful and tliorough inspection, the results of which he reported to this office under date of July 1st, 1879. His report, ap- pended herewith, will show that he performed this duty intelligently and faithfully He gives the location and character of the armories, and also the condition of the arms and equipments. He was particular in calling attention of commandants of companies to any negligence or want of proper care and custody of the State property, commending where it was deserved, and reproving where negligence was apparent. Colonel Lodor, while giving instruction in armory rifle practice, in compliance with General Orders No. 1, Adjutant General's office, had an opportunity to make a thorough inspection of the condition of the rifles and test their shooting qualities. He reports to the Adjutant General that seventy (70) per cent, have defective sights, and the arms otherwise injured. These arms have been in service on an average of less than four years. Full instructions for their care and preservation were issued with them, and whatever defects have ac- crued to them must result from carelessness, a want of proper care, or an improper use of the arm. This arm is made by tlie United States Ordnance Department at Springfield, Massachusetts, of the best mate- rial and with the best skill and workmanship ; every part inspected throughout the entire process of manufacture, gauged and proved before being assembled into a complete and perfect arm. There can, therefore, be no inherent defect in any of its parts or as a whole. We are inclined to the belief that officers are derelict in not living their commands the necessary instructions in the construction, capabilities and care requisite to preserve it in a condition of the greatest efficiency. They should insist upon a frequent inspection, and the slightest apparent scratch, bruise or rust sliould be detected. Men should be

taught that it is a delicate instrument ; many of the parts of the lock and sight, and polish of the bore, to insure accuracy, are necessarily fine and delicate, and the slightest injury, bend or strain impairs its usefulness and efficiency. The rifle in armories should be frequently examined, in order that it may be kept perfectly clean, free from rust and dust. 14 QUARTERMASTER GENERAL'S REPORT.

In service, it should be handled with the greatest care, that it receives no blows or falls ; the bore should be kept free from dirt, lead or rust, and no grit or sand should be suffered to find its way into the chamber from any cause. Care should be taken to see that the cartridge, before being inserted into the chamber, is perfectly clean of grease and grit, and that it does not carry into tiie barn;! any foreign substance to scratch or injure the rifling. Any rust, dirt or lead in the bore, or injury to the rifling, is fatal to good results in shooting. It has been satisfactorily demonstrated by the experience of the past, that for effectiveness in warfare, the long-range, rapid-shooting rifle, with the modern improved breech-loading system, has precedence over all other arms. The improved arm and ammunition now in use has changed the tactical condition of warfare. When an infantry soldier, without exposing his person, at a distance of from twelve hundred yards to one mile, is enabled to make a bull's-eye on a target that will, in size, barely cover a two-gun battery, it is evident that in offensive and defensive warfare, reliance must be placed on skirmishers in- structed in long-range practice. It becomes, therefore, the duty of the State to avail itself of the improvements and the instruction necessary to utilize the advantages. Last year's practice in target fire developed many excellent shots among the officers and privates of the National Guard, as evidenced by the competitive trials of skill at Brinton and Stockton ranges, and in the inter-National and inter-State matches at Creedmoor. It being settled that there is no provision under the laws of this State authorizing the payment of expenses incurred by teams in rifle matches at ranges outside of the limits of the State, it is respectfully suggested that the Legislature be requested to pass an act empowering the Commander-in-Chief to cause one or more teams, at his discretion, to be selected and entered for competition in rifle matches at ranges either within or without the State, and that he be authorized to make his requisition upon the Comptroller to meet the expenses incident thereto. An improved sight tor rifles, with wind-gauge attachment, was furnished to this State by the Ordnance Department of the United States, upon your Excellency's requisition, of the 23d of June last, upon the Chief of Ordnance. These sights have been adjusted to the Springfield rifle, and issued to inspectors of rifle practice, teams and such other field and staff officers as required them for their use in target practice. In each case a bond was taken in an amount double the value of the arm, conditioned for its safe keeping and return to the Arsenal. We have not been able to obtain satisfactory terms for the sale of the old muskets now in the Arsenal. Various propositions have been received for purchase and for exchange for modern improved rifles. Those for purchase were at prices so inadequate that they were declined. :

QUARTERMASTER GENERAL'S REPORT. LS

The offers for exchange for an equal number of new rifles would involve so large an amount of money to be paid in cash by the State, for difference between the relative agreed values of the arras in exchange, that the propositions could not be seriously entertained. Very few of the State arms are of foreign make. All are in good order, serviceable muskets and rifles, muzzle-loading and smooth bore, of calibres .58 and .69, and mostly of the government models of '22, '42, '55, '58 and '63, and are in better condition than most of this kind of arm now offered for sale. They are not deteriorating in value, and are well cared for. The price is so inconsiderable that to offer them at public sale now would be a useless expense, with any hope of realizing anything like a fair and adequate price for them. General Orders No. 4, dated from Headquarters, March 3d, 1879, provided that all knapsacks in possession of the several organizations of the National Guard should be forwarded witiiout delay to the State Arsenal, and turned over to this department for inspection and repairs. Under this order, there were turned in two thousand one hundred and sixty-three (2,163.) An inspection was made which showed that they were in bad condition. They were repaired during the year and put in order. We have in stock two thousand five hundred and seventy-four (2,574) in condition for issue when required. Ammunition is sold at cost of production to officers of the National Guard for use of their commands for rifle practice on ranges, in addition to the allowance issued under general orders. The following statement will show the amount of money received from sales of ammunition to the National Guard, and for payment of losses incurred by military companies and not otherwise accounted for, and for the sale of scrap iron and other unserviceable property since the 30th of November, 1877 (date of last settlement,) amounting to the sum of one thousand one hundred and sixteen dollars and twenty- seven cents ('$1,116.27.) The disbursements by your order are as follows

To the Winchester Repeating Anns Co,, on account of ammunition $578 83 For 1,460 cannon cartridge-bags 87 60

Total $666 43

Leaving in rav hands, four hundred and forty-nine dollars and eighty-four cents'($449.84.) In Statement L of the appendix, will be found in detail a list of property dropped from the accounts of officers of the National Guard during the year. This property was dropped only upon affidavits and statements made by them and approved by your Excellency. Ammunition has been supplied to the Washington Headquarters Association, at Morristown, for firing salutes on the 22d of February^ :

16 QUARTERMASTER GENERAL'S REPORT.

30th of May and the 4tli of July. The quantity so furnished will be found stated in the appendix. Two hundred (200) i)ounds of cannon powder and one hundred (100) cartridge-bags, with friction ])rimers, were supplied, by your authority, to Battery A, for the celebration of the centennial anni- versary of the battle of Paulus Hook, August 19th. Under authority of a concurrent resolution passed during the last session of the Legislature, an independent company located at Wood- bury, and designated " The State Guards," was furnished with fifty stand of rifled muskets and accoutrements on the 27th of February, after the officers of the company had given bond as required by the resolution, A joint resolution was also adopted authorizing the issue to Phil. Kearny Post, No. 1, Grand Army of the Republic, Department of New Jersey, of twenty-four stand of arms and accoutrements. A bond of the officers being first filed and approved, the arms were furnished on the 22d of April. The limitation fixed by resolution for the loan of arms to the Washington Continental Guards, of Princeton, having expired, a concurrent resolution was adopted, extending the period two years from the date of its passage, provided a new bond be filed. The bond has been filed in this office and approved, and the arms will remain in the custody of the company, by authority of this resolution, until 1881. The act entitled " An act concerning veteran associations," approved February 27th, 1879, provides that " w^henever any lawfully organized association of veterans from the late war, in this State, shall apply to the Governor for the temporary loan of camp and garrison equipage, ordnance or other military stores, for any purpose whatsoever, not in con- flict with or violation of the peace or the laws of this State, or the laws of the United States, the Governor shall examine into such application, and upon finding it a just and proper demand he shall have the power to order and authorize the issue of the stores asked for in the application provided, hoM'ever, the applicants be required to furnish good ; and sufficient bonds for the value of the stores issued, which bond shall first be approved by the Governor, and to remain on file in the office of the Quartermaster General of the State." Under and by virtue of the foregoing act, the following-named associations were furnished, upon good and sufficient bonds of the applicants, which bonds were first approved by your Excellency, with stores, to wit Veteran Association at Glassboro', 50 muskets and accoutrements; and two light Napoleon guns, carriages and limbers, caissons and firing implements were temporarily loaned for use in celebrating the Fourth of July, and have been returned. The muskets and accoutrements are still in possession of the association. Aaron Wilkes Post, No. 23, G. A. R., located at Trenton, ordnance stores, clothing and camp and QUARTERMASTER GENERAL'S REPORT. 17 garrison equipage, for the use of the encampment at Skillraan, and for decoration of the headquarters of the Post, most of which have been returned. Under the foregoing act the Grand Army of the Republic made application, under date of August 5th, by Department Commander Hufty, to be furnished with camp and garrison equipage and ordnance stores for an encampment of the members of that association, to be held at Skillman's station in the county of Somerset, on the 26th of August. For tlie safe keeping and return of the property he submitted a bond in the penal sum of ten thousand dollars, executed by Depart- ment Commander, with sureties, Thomas B. Peddie, James L. Hayes and Theodore Macknet. Upon the approval thereof by your Excel- lency, the stores were issaed as required. Transportation was furnislied by the Grand Army of the Republic. The encampment continued for four days. The stores were returned to the Arsenal on the 2d and 3d of September. During the encampment there was a heavy rain. The arms were •wet, and in consequence very much rusted. The men were without the necassarv means for cleaning them. They were hastily repacked into boxes, and in this condition returned to the Arsenal. It was necessaiy to dismount every arm in order to put them in condition. The work was done by the employees of the Arsenal. An account of the time employed and materials consumed in issu- ing, receiving and putting the stores in order, amounts to the sum of two hundred and thirty-nine dollars and eighteen cents (S239.18.) The tents previous to issue were in serviceable condition. Deputv Quartermaster Spencer visited the camp to look after the State property. He reported to this office the result of his inspection, and called particular attention to the manner the tents had " been marked with charcoal, or some other black substance," with " names, monograms and drawings." Upon their return to the Arsenal they were found to be defaced by obscene words and characters most dis- graceful to the authors, requiring cleaning and repairs. This work has not been done, but the cost is estimated at one hundred dollars ($100.) The total expense, actual and estimated, for this service, exclusive of the necessary wear and tear and the use of machinery in cleaning arms, amounts to about three hundred and fifty dollars ($350.) This expenditure is improperly charged to the National Guard, from which it derives no compensating benefits. It is proper to state that our tents have been in service over sixteen years, and are much worn and tender from age and hard usage. Their frequent use for encampments in their present worn condition will soon involve the necessity for the purchase of a new supply to meet the wants of the military service. 18 QUARTERMASTER GENERAL'S REPORT.

The act above referred to is a public act, and permits the issue of camp and garrison equipage and ordnance and ordnance stores as often and whenever they may be required for use by veteran associations, subject to the approval of the Governor. In all probability this property will hereafter be required for annual, and possibly more frequent encampments of the Grand Army of the Republic. It is, therefore, respectfully suggested that the above act be so amended by the Legis- lature as to fix the responsibility for the expenses connected with the issue and receipts of the stores, as well as the repairs of damages occasioned thereby, upon the organization having the use of the property, or that a special appropriation be made to meet such expenditure, that the charge may not be made to the account of the National Guard. The Soldiers' Children's Home has been well taken care of. The east wing is now occupied for the storage of ordnance and ordnance stores which were removed from the Arsenal during the years 1878-9. These stores were not considered extra hazardous, but to avoid any possible prejudice to the insurance upon the building, the written con- sent of the insurers was obtained and indorsed on the policies of insurance for this purpose. The building is insured for twenty thousand dollars ($20,000.)

The policies expire as follows : Five thousand dollars ($5,000) April 14th, 1880; fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) in February and March, 1882. The building is occupied by the same persons, employees of the State. The only compensation allowed for their care and protection of the property, is the use of fuel, gas and water. Slight repairs of the roof, conductors and fences have been required. The grounds in the rear of the home have been put down in sod. The lawn and grounds have been kept in a neat and tidy condition. Trees have been planted out on Chestnut avenue and Division street, and a few in the lawn, where too crowded, have been removed and reset to replace those that have died out, and in positions where most needed for shade and decoration. The expenses for the past year have been six hundred and forty- five dollars and seventy-nine cents ($645.79.) The expenses of 1878 were two thousand forty-one dollars and ninety-two cents ($2,041.92), a decrease in the amount of expenses in one year of one thousand three hundred and ninety-six dollars and thirteen cents ($1,396.13). The estimated expenses for the coming year, should the property remain in the same condition, will be five hundred dollars ($500.) The buildings have not been painted since the construction of the two wings in 1869. The wood work of the exterior needs a coat of paint, and should it be deemed necessary the cost of the same, as estimated, will be about three hundred dollars ($300), in addition to the estimated cost of maintenance. The expenses have been increased over the estimate of last year by :

In the report of the Acting Paymaster General for the year 1878, it was therein stated that twenty-three men and the representatives of four deceased soldiers, who had served in the National Guard in the emergency existing in this State in the year 1877, had not been paid the one dollar per day allowed them by the acts of the Legislature, approved March 7th and April 5th, 1878. Since that report was made, two men have been paid, leaving at this date twenty-one unpaid, the total amount due them being two hundred and twenty- 20 QUARTERMASTER GENERAL'S REPORT. five dollars ($225.) Efforts have been made to ascertain the addresses or residences of these men, but without success. The representatives of the deceased soldiers could not be paid under any previous act, and the Legislature, to make provision therefor, passed a supplemental act, which was approved February 26th, 1879. This act provides that "the widow, or minor children, if there be no widow, or the widowed mother, if there be no widow or minor children, of any soldier in the National Guard of this State, who actually performed service in the emergency existing in this state during the months of July and August, one thousand eight hundred and seventy- seven, shall be entitled to the benefits of the act to which this is a sup- plement."

APPENDIX.

REPORT OF BOARD FOR TESTING ARMS FOR RIFLE PRACTICE.

Teexton, N. J., Jauuaiy 24th, 1879. General Lewis Penine, Quartermaster General of Neio Jet^sey, Chief of Ordnance, Trenton General—At your request, a Board consisting of Colonel Daniel Lodor, Assistant Adjutant General of Division Staff of the National Guard, Colonel William H. Sterling, A. D. C, Acting General Inspector of Rifle Practice, and myself, was organized on the 4th day of January, and continued from day to day up to this date, for the purpose of making a series of experiments at the New Jersey Arsenal, to ascertain the best mode of instructing the National Guard of our State in rifle practice in their respective armories. We were greatly assisted in all our tests by the Armorer of the Arsenal, Mr. Charles F. Snowden. The Wingate Indicator was first thoroughly examined, but although a very useful device, did not fully cover the needs of our service. Next we made trial of rifles of .22 and .32 calibre, with a small amount of powder and small ball, but the result showed that they were hardly a safe arm to use in armories. Several sub-calibres were then presented and carefully tested. This was done by fastening each rifle securely in a vise and firing at least twenty-five charges from each arm. In this way we tested

Sharp's sub-calibre .32, at forty feet. Sharp's sub-calibre .24, at seventy-five feet. Winchester sub-calibre, 32-inch Springfield rifle, at seventy-five feet. Sharp's sub-calibre, 24 inches long, at seventy-five feet. Remington sub-calibre .32, at seventy-five feet.

In all these repeated trials we found too much fouling of the piece, two great a scattering of the bullets, considerable difficulty in some cases in extracting the shell, and we unanimously report that we can- not urge the adoption of any of the sub-calibres presented to us. We made trial next of a steel shell with small charge of powder and small ball, but this was soon found unfitted for use in the Spring- field rifle. 26 QUARTERMASTER GENERAL'S REPORT.

And finally we fully tested a reduced cartridge, invented and manufactured at the Arsenal, which we have all joined in recommending to His Excellency the Governor, as the best appliance we have seen for giving the soldier the necessary instruction in practice with his rifle, without danger or any of the drawbacks just noted in the sub- calibre tests. We leave to you a full description of the cartridge, which you will no doubt embody in your report to the Governor. Our tests were of the most severe character, were most thorough and complete, and we shall all join in the request that a supply of this reduced cartridge be made under your supervision and issued to the troops. We beg to congratulate you on the successful solution of the problem of instructing soldiers during the winter in aiming and firing the rifle without danger, in their armories. Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM S. STRYKER, Bvt. Maj. Gen. and Adjutant General^ President of the Board. :

REPORT OF COL. LODOR, A. A. G., ON INSPECTION OF ARMORIES.

Headquaeters National Guard, "I Trenton, March 19th, 1879. / General Orders No. 5.

Colonel D. Lodor, Assistant Adjutant General, is hereby detailed to make a careful inspection of the armory or place of deposit of the arms and equipments in possession of the several company organizations of the National Guard, and to report to the Quartermaster General, Acting Chief of Ordnance, the condition of said armories or places of deposit, and of the arms and equipments. By command of Major Gen. G. Mott, D. LODOR, Colcmel and A. A. Gen'l.

Trenton, July 1st, 1879.

To Gen. Lewis Ferrine, Quartermaster General of New Jersey, Acting Chief of Ordnance General—I have the honor to submit my report of the inspections of the armories or places of deposit of the arms and equipments in possession of the several organizations of the National Guard, together with the condition of said arras and equipments, made and completed in accordance with the above-written orders. Inspection of the armories or places of deposit of the arms and equipments of the several company organizations of the First Regi- ment, located at Newark, were made upon the 21st, 22d, 23d, 24th and 25tii days of April, and at the same time I made a careful inspection of the arms and equipments. -Upon April 28th, 29th and 30th, and May 1st, 2d and 3d, I inspected the armories, arms and equipments of the Fifth Regiment. The Fifth and First Regiment armories are located in an extensive brick structure known as the Newark City Armory, and I report that these armories are in good condition. I further report that all the arms and equipments are in excellent order and condition. (

28 QUARTERMASTER GENERAL'S REPORT.

In the Fourth Regiment, Companies A, C and E are located in a large brick building (third and fourth stories) in Jersey City. I made a careful inspection of these armories, arms and equipments upon the 5th, 7th and 9th of May, and report armories, arms and equipments in good condition. Companies D, B and F occupy separate buildings in Bergen, Jersey City and Hoboken, and I report that inspections were made of these armories upon the 8th, 6th and 9th of May respectively. I further report that their armories, or places of deposit for arms and equipments, were in good condition, and that the arms and equipments were in very fair order. I further report, that on the 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th of May, I made careful inspections of the armories, arms and equipments of the Ninth Regiment. With the exception of being in the same buildings with lager beer saloons, the armories are well located, and the arms were in good strong cases and in fair order. Companies A, B and C, Second Battalion, are located in Leonia, Englewood and Hackensack, respectively, and their armories are in good, substantial buildings, and together with arms and equipments, are in good order. Inspections of the armories, arms and equipments were made on May 26th, 27th and 28th. Battery A, stationed in Jersey City, use for an armory a new building belonging to the authorities of Jersey City. It is crowded so much with the guns and caissons that it is hardly possible to move around. The guns, caissons and ordnance stores are in good condition. Harness and horse equipments are subject to dampness, as there was more or less mould upon them. Gatling Gun Company (A), stationed in Elizabeth, uses for aa armory a room in the City Market, adjacent to police headquarters. The armory, guns, ordnance, stores, rifles and equipments are in very fine condition. An inspection of this armory, with its contents, arms and equipments, was made May 29th, 1879. Gatling Gun Company (B), attached to the Second Brigade, and stationed at Camden, has for its armory a portion of a large market building. The armory, or place of deposit, guns, sabres and equipments, were inspected May 19th, and I report them to be in good condition. Company A, Third Regiment, located at Elizabethport at the time the inspection was made, viz., March 24th, used a room in a brick building over a beer saloon as an armory. The armory was in fair condition, and such guns as I examined were in but medium order. A number of rifles and most of the equiijments were at the houses of the several members of the company, and could not be inspected. This company was disbanded by S. O. No. 11, H. Q. N. G., C. S. At Asbury Park a new organization is located, and has been attached to the Third Regiment, and is known as Company A. Their armory is in a frame building, but the members keep their arms and QUARTERMASTER GENERAL'S REPORT. 29 equipments in their respective homes. As the guns had been but lately- received from the Arsenal, they were in fair condition. Equipments were in fair condition, as well as their armory. Companies B and C, Tiiird Regiment, are located in a room over the City Market, Elizabeth. The armory is very dirty, and the guns and equipments are in fair condition. Company A (old), Company A (new). Companies B and C were inspected March 24th, July 10th and May 19th and 20th, respectively. Company F, at Rahway, and Company D, at New Brunswick, both attached to the Third Regiment, have their armories, arms and equipments in good condition. They were inspected May 23d and 29th, respectively. Company G, Third Regiment, located at Keyport, is building a new armory. Their present armory is over a school building, and arms and equipments are kept at their homes. Like all companies along the seaboard, their guns are subject to rust. With this exception, tliey were in fair order. May 23d was the day I made the inspection of this company. In the Sixth Regiment, Company A, at Burlington, Company F, at Beverly, Company K, at Vineland, have their armories in substantial brick buildings. Companies B, C, D and E, stationed in Camden, occupy one main room, in which are cases for the deposit of their arms. The armories and arms and equipments are in good condition. Inspections were made April 8th, 14th, 17th, 9th, lOtli, 11th and 15th, respectively. Company H, Sixth Regiment, located at Cape May, uses a large frame building as an armory. The guns, equipments and ordnance stores were in poor condition, and the armory positively dirty. Inspection was made April 16th. In the Seventh Regiment, Companies A, B and D, stationed at Trenton, Company C at Lambertville, F at Mount Holly, occupy as armories rooms in substantial brick buildings. E, at Turkey, uses an isolated frame building. All the above armories are in good condition. And with the exception of Company D, these companies have their arms and equipments in good order and condition. Company D's guns were very dirty, and the equipments in but fair condition. These armories, arms and equipments were inspected March 17th, April 1st, March 11th, April 2d, 7th and 4th, respectively. I beg leave to further report that where negligence in the care of arms, equij)ments and armories was observed, by calling attention of commanding officers to their condition, it has been in all cases rectified. Every facility was offered and presented by the officers for me to make these inspections. I am. General, with much respect, D. LODOR, Col. and A. A. Gen.
