 An audacious burglary and escape was made on Hall, Hornbeck .& Co.'S store last Wednesday night. gaining en- trance in side window. The safe was blown open and the contents appropri- ated, which although considerable, has been much exaggerated in the rumors. The deed was no doubt the work of ex- perts and not of burglars as the man. ner in which it was done plainly indica- ted. Access was gained at the same window that was entered at the burgla- " last November, but their sole pur- pose was for money and nothing else it seems on this occasion. The watch dog which is yet too young to be of much service, was not harmed, neither was the canary, whose cage was hanging nearly over the safe at the time. Up to a recent date some one had slept in the store but had been abandoned of late and now one of the firm assures us that the store will not be left alone an other night No clue that will lead tc their detection and arrest has yet been 1 found.

Here comes one from another direc
ton. His name Is William p. Crooks
and he livesin Jersey City. Mr.. Crooksis
Grand Secretary OF tho Order OF Coco
Templars for the State OF New Jersey
and Deputy Right Worthy Grand Temp
lar. lie is foreman Of the tin and iror
shops OF the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany in Jersey City. nm .e"-
In 1884 he left tho Republican party
and Joined the Prohibition party. His
ACCESSION was regarded MS. notable, and
he was placed on the st. John electoral
ticket, for which he stumpcd vigorously
Mr.. Crooks says: ~ found the Pro
hibition party an utter and complete
failure, that it was beyond human
power ever to realize their dream, and
worst OF all, that they were laboring to
smash the Republican party" He finds
that the Democratic party is allied with
the saloon power and the Prohibition
party is doing all It can for the triumph
OF the Democratic party. Moreover, he
say that the Prohibition party is going
more and more in the direction Of
Free Trade. .... ,.... i.....,. ,...,
For these general reasons Mr.. Crooks
is going to do all no can for Harrison
and Protection. Hehas already noticed
that his Prohibition associates Do moi
Hesitate to abuse him for leaving them
The Democrats will have to hustle il
they hope to carry New Jersey. They
can't do that il there is to be a stampede
from the Prohibition ranks. The Prohi
bition vote will have to be larger than il
was for St. John or Mr.. Cleveland cam
have Jersey milk in his hereafter.
