An old Citizen Depnrted

Last night Edward Moore, an old and
| highly respected citizen of this city
died at his residence No. 9l6 West
street, from an attack Of pneumonia.
He was born in this city, February 9Th,
1909. His father carried on the bust
ness of ship building at the foot of Or
ange street for considerable number
of years. Upon reaching manhood he
a. once became an active and public
minded citizen. In 1916 he was a
member of City Council from the Sec-
ond Ward, and was a member of the
Original Board of Education formed un-
der Judge Hall. During the greater
part OF his life he was engaged in the
clothing business, and when he retired
he was the oldest business man in the
tity. IL" was member of the Asbury
NJ. L. church, and continued in this
connection up to the tine of the build
ing of St. Paul's. Grace church being
subsequently, built, he was one of those
who severed their relationship with
St. Paul's, and began their labors in a
new field. In his business as well as
his social life he has always been one
OF the most exemplary of men, and
his actions have always been in
strict conformity with that spirit
which can onl y come through con
sistent adherence to the principle born
Of a higher plane of existence. Re-
markabe for his piety, he was a strong
pillar among the people of his church,
and it will be here that his absence
will be most felt. He was in his list
year. The funeral will take place on
Saturday afternoon, from Grace NJ. Il.
church. lntermpnt al the Whining

MrS. butcher Surprised.

Last evening about fifty ladies and
gentlemen, the intimate friends OF Mrs.
Butcher and her children, paid her a
friendly donation visit unexpected by
her, but none the less appreciated on
that account. The friends spent the
evening very pleasantly, and succeeded
in cheering up the spirits of Mrs.
butcher who had for some weeks past
been undergoing a terrible agony of
mind on account of newspaper reports
rejecting upon her husband. She was
fully convinced by last evenings visit
that she had the sympathy of the pub
lie. The uncermonious but welcome
and kind hearted visitors left with Mis-.
butcher many tangihle evidences Of
their confidence ana esteem.

sons who live in these wards whert
there are two voting districts, should

As there was great deal of misun
derstanding last year in regard to the
qualifications for voters at the school
election, many holest and good cltl-
zens voted uhintentionally an illegal

enough to be fully prepared this year
to cast legal ballot, and in order to
d, so. il should b. borne in mind that
the City tax (not State and County
for the preceding year, if not paid
already, must be paid to entitle the

Let every body take a note of this
and let those who wish 20 vote and
have not yet paid their city tax fo'
1878, hunt up the collectors Messrs
Provost and Kyne (not Messrs. Givrl

KENT COUNTY COURT.
Judge COmegys' Charge o" the
Violations of Liquor Laws-Heavy
Fine Of a LtquOr seller.


From the Smyrna FINES.
The couri for this county met at
Dover on Monday. The attendance
from the County was very large, more
tnan the court room would properly
accommodate. John II. BewIey was
chosen foreman OF the Grand Jury. In
his address to them CLiel Justice Com
eggs read the law relating to the sale
of intoxicating liquors and charged
them very pointedIy in regard to its
violations. He said that four.fitths Of
the criminal business that was brought
before them was directly or i'll
directly to be attributed to the use
OF Intoxicating liquors, and mostly
directly; that it was violation of the
law to sell to minors, to sell or give
away liquors on the Sabbath cay, to
sell to habtual drunkards, to sell to be
carried off the premises, and that 1t
was the duty of Grand Jurors to prose
cute all cases of the violation OF law,
not only the cases given into them, but
all cases coming to their Knowledge
through or by other sources; that the
Legislature at their last session refused
to Icgisl late further on the subject OF the
license ia"s on the ground that we had
sufficient law on the subject ifexecuted,
and urged upon the Grand Jury and all
good citizens of the State the execution
of the present law.
The case OF John Wilkinson, ST., of
this town, was taken up. 1t was for
selling liquor without license, and
dates back to II. 1t appears fr"m the
statments ELECTED in the trial that he has
been selling liquor i!licitly for % years,
but it has not been until the last two
years that public sentiment demanded
his prosecution. lie evaded the Count
and was required to give bail for his
appearance. He again failed to put in
all appearance on Monday, and tie
Judge declared his bail boud forfeited,
winch will fall heavily on his securities,
James McCarter and James McClusky.
His case was tried III his absence, aud
he was convicted in nine out of lho
eleven indictments. The fines cannot
be less than $50 in each case, which
with the costs will amount to $500 or
800.
Tuesday was spent in the trial Of
cases of larceny and fight between two
color-d women Of Milford, the indi,t-
meDt being for assault and battery
with intent to kill.
1t is understood that one or two i'm
portant cases Of violations of the liquor
law will be reached to-day. The Grand
Jury will not get through before Thurs
day or Friday. They could have finish
ed sooner if the cases had been furnish
I'd as fast as they could deliberate.
A law officer remarked yesterday
that this session of the court had done
more to make the law respected, and
accomplish the purpose for which it
was enacted, than the ten previous
courts combined.
Several Ascending witnesses from
the .ast court We're fined s. each with
cost and the Sheriff was instructed to
arrest at any time those who ran away
to keep from, or failed to appear after
being summoned, and put them under
bail Or commit them to prison.

Destructive Fire at HontrPaI--FOr-
" HpuseS Burned.

MONTREAL, CANADA, April 3O.-A
fire occurred this evening in the village
of st. Jean Baptlste, u Subarb Of Mon
treal, and destroyed large amount Of
property. The fire originated in a
stable belonging to st, John McCaush-
an. Some children Were playing ia
the place, and it IS supposed matches
@efe used by them, which gnitrd al d
set the place ou fire. Tie flames so II
spreal to the house adjoining, and ow-
ing to scarcity o. water the IRENE a
were unable to sUhdue them. Alto
gether forty houses, chiefly dwellings
of two stories, mostly occupied by more
than one family each, were reduced tu
ashes. During the progress Of the
flames q large quantity Of furniture
and effects of the houses was taken t.
a place of safety, hut great many
poor people have lost some of their
household goods, and some seventy
families are rendered homeless.
Members Of the city brigade were on
the spot soon after the fire broke out,
but owing to there being no supply OF
water its efforts We're confined princi
pallv to saving goods. The fire was
finally extinguished about 10 o'clock.
Had there been even moderate wind
nothing could have saved the village.

Can such Thi nys BE.

For the RepuDncan.
MRssRs EpIToRs.-A liar and mischief
maker, is certainly the most degraded
of human beings, who delight to go
from house to house retailing at a low
price their abominable lies, and trying
to sow suspicion in the hearts and
minds of the friends Of those they have
tried to injure. Some evil disposed
demons have been at work, trying to
aiflict us with slch viIlianny. Some
power more cruel than death tries to
blot from our existence the sun OF
peace and happiness. That one who
through envy or malice deliberately
tries to destroy the reputation of hu,
man being is not worthy the name OF
man or woman, but should be as one
branded with infamy. Let me say that
those Who listen to such ISLANDERS, are
lust as bad as those who follow 1t Tor
profession. There is too much encour-
agement given to such detestable char
acters. May the time soon come when
such cold hearted demons who are now
under cover will be compelled to show
their credentials, and stand disgrac-d
before a gaping world. The coward!y
demons who have DETAINED the limo
cent, have not the courage to come ont,
lest the light of truth viii reveal the
fact of their own deep corruption.
How can sucn traitors rest comtorta-
bly, in their beds at night, when they
know in their own souls that they have
fixed a shaft to poison the minds of the
people, How dark the atmosphere is
with the foul suspicion resting upon
those | know to BE- ignorant of the
charge laid against them. A FRIEND.
