THIEVES AT WORK.
Bold Robbery OF werkheiser's store
west Orange street Last Night.


west Orange street Last Night.
Last night thieves entered the store OF
Valentine Werkheiscr, at Charlotte and
West Orange streets. This morning when
the proprietor wenL down stairs to open up
the store he found the 'front.' door open. A
drawer in desk In the rear OF the
store room had been opened, small
bag and a pocketbook, which had con.
tanned money, had been rfled of their
contents. A gold watch which had been
in the drawer also was missing. The
money taken consisted of Is or 20 trade
dollars, s25 in mixed silver pieces and a
large lot of new five cent pieces. Among
the lot was silver half dollar bearing
the date Of 1926. A large lot of new silk
hankerchiefs were stolen from the dry
goods counter. Tho watch was hunting
case, stem winder, Of Waltham make, No.
726. $50.
The store was closed up last night about
four minutes before II o'clock by Mr..
Werkheiser, who left tho key in the lock
Of the front door on the inside. He sleeps
directly over the store, but heard no noise
during the night. The supposition is that
the thief entered the store some time dur.
ing tho evening and hid until late hour.
1t was then an easy matter for him TO take
his departure by unlocking and going out
the front door. No marks of burglars
tools can be found on the door or desk, but
the latter was not locked and prying was
unnecessary.
There ia an electric light on this corner,
but the burglar was not afraid of 1t, as he
took the chance of its being out and was
not disappointed. A strange man was
seen in the store about supper time last
evening. He stood around for sometime
and did not seem to want anything. He
finally disappeared and was not thought OF
again until this morning after tho burglary
had been discovered.

BLOWN FROM A TRAIN.
A MARVELLOUS ESCAPE FROM DEATH
Secretary OF state Kelsey, OF New Jersey.

swept ON . Moving Train i,ya
aust OF wind.
Secretary Of State Henry q. Kelsey, OF
New Jersey, took the Philadelphia anu
Reading "two. hour" train from Philadel
phia to New York at Trenton junction at
o'clock Friday morning on his way to
attend a meeting of the board Of directors
of a company with which he was connected
in Newark. The train was crowded.
Finding the seat which he first occupied
too cold he started to walk back to the
rear cars to find better one.
As he opened the car door the train was
passing along an embankment eight or
ten feet high, about mile from Trenton
Junction 1t had not yet obtained full
headway, but was going some 20 miles an
hour. He stepped upon the platform,
seizing the brake wheel with the hand in
which he held his newspaper and mittens,
and holding on TO his hat with tho other.
The wind was blowing gale, and had a
full sweep across wide field aud over
the embankment.
A terrific gust at the moment Mr..
Kelsey was stepping from one car to the
other lifted him from his feet, tore his
hand loose from the brake and hurled him
clear off the train and several feet from the
track. He went over pile Of rails lying
beside the track and, striking on the earth
embankment, rolled over and over until
he stopped at the bottom. He was ren.
! dered unconscious, but in his excitement
had strength sufficient to gather up his
mittens, paper and hat and scramble up
the bank.
The train meantime had been stopped
and backed up, the accident having been
witnessed by a passenger, who pulled the
bell rope. Tho conductor wished to bring
him back to Trenton Junction, but he in
sisted that he was not hurt and was helped
into parlor car and made comfortable
until Jersey City was reached. By that
time he realized that one foot was badly
| injured and that he was bruised and sore
all over his body. He was put at once on
q tram for Trenton, and by IL O'Clock had
| been taken to his room at the Trenton
house, surprising Mrs. Kelsey, who had
not heard Of the accident or known that
he had gone on the train.
The injury to his foot is not serious, but
| is very painful, and the result Of the shock
aud his bruises kept him in a nervous con
ditIon, but no more serious results are
apprehended than few days confinement
to his bed. His escape from death is to be
attributed to the fact that he struck with
his feet first, aud that his fall was further
broken by his being mutfied in heavy
| ovsrcoat and by the snow that was on the
ground He has been the recipient OF
congratulatory kilograms from all parts OF
| the county.

The contest FOR the Republican nom .
inati0n seems to be Blaine against the
field, a position similar to that at the
last two Republican conventions, and
one which 1t has seemed that Mr.. Blaine
at this time desired to avoid, having
found IL so fatal on these former occa
siOns. But 1t seems he cannot get away
from 1t. None of his friends will believe
the assertion that he is not candidate
since 1t is one quite incapable of belief
Mr.. Blaine cannot retire behind hi:
asseverations any more than can Mr.
Tilden. A man who has once con.
sented to be a candidate Is booked
for 1t as long as he has any
life left in him. There is only one man
living who has been presidential can
didate once, who is credited with an az
solute objection to being one again.
That Is Horatio Seymour. But he has
singular reputation for truthfulness
and self respect. The ordinary run Of
politicians are not believed to be capable
OF telling the truth when they deny that
they want office, particularly when the
Office is at the top Of the heap. Mr..
Blaine will have to go In to win this
prize with his colors flying; there can
be no sneak game played with the presl
dency by one SO conspicuous as he In the
rogues' gallery.
