THIRD BURGLARY At Mr.. HAPPoLDT's
SroRE.-THE ROBBERS CAUGHT FOR ONCE
On Thursday night the establishment OF Mr.
John H. Happoldt, al the northwest corner Oh
Meeting street and Horloecks alley, was en-
tered, and robbed for the third time in year.
The burglars made their approach through the
back yard, and effected an entrance 10 the
shop by breaking one Of the shutters IN the
back window. just below where it ID crossed
by the diagonal iron bar. light was burning
in the store, and on surveying the interior
they were apparently struck with some prep
arations fer their coming, which deferred them
from entering through the hole they had made.
By reaching in, however, they managed 10 get
hold of a shot gun which they carried III, Win
one or two articles OF less importance. Inc
proprietor did not know OF the robbery until
next morning, when the shop was opened, ouI
upon finding it out he I'm mediately gave nollce
to the gunsmiths In the city OF the loss. Fortu-
nately the gun stolen was without hammer,
and could be easily identified. On Friday
morning a gun, answering TO the description
of the lost one, was taken to Mr.. Wing, lock-
smith on King street, BY colored man named
Thos Wright, for the purpose of having new
hammer put upon it. Mr.. Happodt was noti-
fed of the fact, and. not being able to get at
the gun himself, he applied TO Captain Hen
bricks and told him Of the robbery and subse-
ouent developments. Captain Hendricks I'M
mediately took the matter In hand, and upon
meeting Wright near the Guardhouse yester-
day morning questioned him as to the gun.
Afler some time Wright said the gun was at
his house in st. Mchael'S alley, and, upon
search being made, II was found and identified
as the oae stolen from Mr.. Happoldt Wright
said he had borrowed the gun from "July" to
90 shooting rice birds. July is the colored
man of diminutive stature who is connected In
some Mysterious manner with the Police and
Detective offices. He is about three feet
high. having the body and head of a
fullg grown man, with pair OF legs
resembling, in length and shape, the horns OF
bull. His original name was Sam Mitchell,
but he assumed that OF July as nom de plume
upon entering upon his indescribable duties at
the Detective office. July, In his official capa-
cIty, states that he borrowed the gun from one
Toby Brown, notorious thief whose name
was enough to convince the officials that they
had arrived at the source Of the robbery.
Brown was Immediately arrested, and on being
questioned swore that he never lent the gun
to July, but that July had brought it to him on
Thursday night. July and Brown have both
been committed for examination, and will be
brought before Trial Justice Levy to-day.

THE "oLD DAFT RUM"
Tie schooner Dart OF about so tons, was
built at Cape Elizabeth in 1918. She was
owned by Joseph Cross and others of Port
land. She had "pink" stem, that is, sharp
up to the deck and high; most small vessels
had such sterns then, they were called "pink-
ies'or "chebacco boats. There was wide tim
Der abaft the rudder head to which the quar-,
ter rails were fastened which had notch in
the top to hold the main boom when in port.
Vessels of this huild were said to be the best
sea boats. There are some of them left yet.
Occasionally one comes into your harbor from
some Eastern fishing village, looking as old
and out OF place as did Rip Van Wrinkle when
he came down from the Kaatskill mountains
after his 20 years sleep.
The "Dart" was built in hurry and not of
the best materials. She sailed under command
Of Capt. John Curtis, who had charge of the

The clergymen of Newark, N. j., are great
sticklers for peculiar kind of etiquette, which
the French world term outre Monday Rev.
Dr. Gather, the eminent English divine, met
these gentlemen for the purpose of giving
them his views upon the best method of adj
vancing the objects of the English Christian
Moral Science Association, for which he is
agent, when Rev. DR.. Findley arose and sug-
gested that DR.. G. was an imposter. Dr. Fish
said such proceedings were impolite and
thought 'the correct thing" would be to an
point committee to examine the reverend Wis
itor's credentials. The suspected gentleman
expressed his willingness to meet any ipye,t-
cation before any body competent to sit in
Judgment. His object was be said to bring
Christian moral science into New Jersey. The
way things we're done in England was to bring
people together at social meal He thought
eating salt together bad humanizin influence
and 1t would have made him happy il he had
eaten salt with some of his audience, so that
he could have found himself in some sort nm
der the protection of their hospitality. This
timely rebuke was hugely relished by the ma
jority of those present, and applause might
have been INDUCED in but for the sombre, ie-
ligiOus character of the building and most of
its clerical occupants. Alter the Dr. had ex-
planned the workings of the association in
England, and delivered bmse!f Of an address
that pleased all, DR.. Findley again rose and
brought forward the unpleasant CHARGES. in
sisting that the accused should be afforded an
opportunity to defend himself The Doctor
himself after Others had protested against
bringing the matter up, said he would not be
tried by miscellaneous meeting, but as
clergyman of the Methodist church he could
alone be tried by his peers, and to their judg-
ment he would willingly submit. This
brought the meeting to close.

A CONCISE SPEEcH.-Mr. Bouney's reply
TO the ion2 speech of Mr.. Pike of Calais, il
support Of his sc, called general railroad bll
which invests the Railroad Commissioners
with the power to grant or withhold the right
to build railroads at their discretion, is mode
Of conciseness. Mr. Pike made no reply, per.
hays for the reason that he did not see hi.
way clear to do so. The following is Mr.
Bonney's reply III full:
Mr.. Bonney proposed TO restate the gentle
mans argument briefly. The liberties of the
people are in danger of extinction from rail
roads, therefore these liberties are safer in the
hands oil three men than in the hands of the
Legislature composed of one hundred and
eighty-two men. The very statement proves
fallacy of the argument.
