A HonR1nLr Cn1ME IN Nrw JERsEy.

While Mrs. John bollenger ano heT
daughter Caroline, aged IA, were alone
on Tuesday evening in their house, near
Newark, N. j.. three young rutians
forced their way into the house, seized
Mrs. BolIenger, dragged her into a room,
threatening to shoot and stab her if she
made any resistance The daughter
managed to escape from the rufians and
fed from the house. Soon afterward
the men went away When Mr.. Boil
lenger came home he induced two neigh
bors to spend the night with him, fear
ing that the rufians might return, and
bis fears were not groundless. About
one o'clock Wednesday morning the
three rufians returned, accompanied by
four others, who broke down the door
with an axe and again entered the place.
They rushed upon Mr.. Bollenger and
his two friends, threatening to kill them
if they made any outcry, and locked
them into a room Four Of them then
dragged Mrs. Bollenger from under
bed, where she had taken refuge with
her daughter, and forced her into an
other room, where they in turn assault
ed her. The other three dragged Car
oline into some woods near Waverley
Park, and, with a knife at her throat,
accomplished a terrible crime. The
four rufians in the house, before taking
their departure, broke the windows,
crockery and furniture During We'd
nesday two of the assaultiDg party, Will
liam Cavanagh and Owen Gillin. of
Newark, were arrested The latter had
his lip covered with charcoal and Cava-
nagh wore baudage over his forehead.
Caroline subsequently, identified them,
and Mrs Bollenger identified Cavanagh
as one of the gang who assaulted her
on Tuesday evening. Cavanagh denies
Mrs. Bollenger's statements, but con-
fesses the truth of the charge of the
girl, pleading in extenuatiOn that he
was drunk. Gillin denies the charge
and says he was accidentally in the
s4;skke=keed The names Of the other
five are known and their arrest is only
a matter of time Caroline Bollenger
is in a very critical condition

which may well be envied.
Rarely do men forecast to accomplish
q great and beneficial end in life, and
yet more rarely are they successful.
Yet DR.. Humphreys may be said to
have succeeded. In his twenty odd
years Of effort, directed to single aim,
be has seen whole school Of medicine,
which once derided bis efforts, come TO
acknowledge the great value Of his SER
vices. He has seen his Homeopathic
Specifics sold in more than five thou
sand agencies, and used as principal
family curatives by more than one hun

alone. He has seen his Homeopathic
Specifics supplant and drive out Of use

This must be considered as q success,
not ID the material, but in the higher
aspects Of life, and as such its author
may well be congratulated.
