The wrong Man.

George Taylor, a travelling salesman for
a firm in Philadelphia, who visits many
points in New Jersey, was arrested on sus-
picion of being Tascott, the Chicago mur-
derer, in Gloucester county on Friday
night, and spent half al hour i'll Justice
John ~Iseese's office, in Mullica Hill, where
his identity was proved. Elwood and
Charles Davis, one of whom keeps a livery
and the other the hotel in Clayton, and
Michael Turner, of the latter place, be-
came convinced that Mr.. Taylor CORES
ponded well enough with the description
of the Chicago murderer to make the large
reward that is offered for Tascott's arrest
their own if they were to have him arrest
ed. Accordingly, when he came to Clay
ton Friday night he fell into the clutches
of Constable Garrison, of Swedesboro, and
was driven away in a buggy to Squire
Reese's, where he was confronted with his
accusers. The Justice, however, knew
Mr.. Taylor and identified him. Mr.. Tay-
lor is very indignant over his arrest.
Mr.. Taylor will be remembered by
many of our residents as the piano tuner
who was in Woodstown with the Pawnee
Indian medicine company, performing on
the piano for that company.

At the meeting of the Camden County Board
Of Agriculture, held last week, the subject OF
shortening the hours oflabor, which are prob
ably longer On Il farm than in any other bust
ness, was discussed and received a favorable
consideration from maDy present. Frequent
lY a farmer works from fifteen to eighteen
hours a day, which any one knows is too long,
and a shortening of the days work would be a
benefit to both laborers and employers, mas
much as all would feel more vigorous for the
tasks before them.

trying to Dust FreehoIders.

The Board of Agriculture of Middlesex
county met at New Brunswick on Monday
and devoted The afternoon to the discus
sion of plans to get rid of the County
Board of Chosen Freeholders. The farm
ers nave tried before TO have the board
abolished, and last year had a measure in
troduced in the House and brought the
matter before the State Board of Agricul-
ture in the hopes of getting the aid and
approval of that body. In this, however,
they were unsuccessful; nor were they
able to get the bill through the Legisla-
-ture, as there were other counties in the
State that had not suffered as Middlesex
has at the hands of the Freeholders.
The Board of Agriculture has not given
up the attempt to abolish the office of
Chosen Freebooter, and a committee was
appointed to draft a law to be presented
to the next Assembly, which will, it is
hoped, remedy the evil so far as Middle
sex is concerned, without being objection
able to other counties. The recent expos
ures of the tricks which Freeholders have
resorted to to get paid for work that need
never have been done, aud in many cases
was o done, has brought the entire
county into accord with the Agricultural
Club in the desire to get rid of the board.

cider to take It's Turn.

The United States Circuit Court in Ar
kansas has rendered an elaborate opinion,
that cider is an alcoholic beverage, OBJ
tanned by the fermentation of the juice OF
apples, and holds that it annot lawfully
be sold in a State whose statutes prohibit
the sale of "alcohol or any spirituous,
ardent, vinous, malt or fermented liquors
The percentage of alcohol in cider, the
Court explains, ranges from five to ton per
cent, which is considerably larger than the
percentage in most ale and beer and some
wines. at is not questioned that ale,
porter, stout, lager beer, &c., are within
the statutes of the State regulating the
liquor traffic, and why should an alcoholic,
vinous or fermented liquor containing
more alcohol than any of these beverages
be exempt? 1t is not. 1t is within the
very letter of the statute" JGdge Cald-
well then adds =
Cider is also an intoxicating liquor, for
it is common knowledge that a fermented
beverage which contains from five to ten
per cent of alcohol, which is freely drunk
by the glassful, will produce intoxication.
This is a fact of daily observation in COM
munities where such beverages are solo.
Whiskey contains from forty to fifty per
cent of alcohol, and cider contains one-hfth
as much alcohol as whiskey, so that drink
ing a pint of cider is equivalent to drink
ing one-ffth of a pint of whiskey. But to
bring it under the operation of the liquor
laws of the State it is not essential that it
should be an intoxicating liquor. 1t is
enough that it is a g vinoas or fcrmented
liquor" :,
The Court remarks that 'sweet cider
and "hard cider are popular terms to
distinguish between the juice of the apple
before and after fermentation. But lin
strictness, the former is simply apple juice,
and it is only by fermentation that it
becomes cider, and when the word cider
alone is used in law or it is CON-
monty understood to mean the fermented
iuice of apples, or hard cider"

The Liquor Law.

The following is how Judge Reed defin-
ed the liquor law when charging the Cum
berland county Grand Jury last week.
1st-A single sale made since July 4th,
1888, of any quantity of any spirituous or
malt liquors anywhere within the county
when the facts show that the vendor knew
that it was to be drunk on or about the
premises is indictable as a misdemeanor.
If such sales are habitual the vendor is in
dictable for keeping a disorderly house.
2d-The single sale of a quart or more
of either spirituous or malt liquors not to
be drunk on or about the premises is law
full, and habitual sales in such quantities,
under such circumstances, unless accom-
panied with other elements of disorder or
drunkenness which make the place disor-
DERBY, is lawful.
3d-The single sale made within six
months of spirituous liquors under the
quantity of a quart not to be drunk upon
or about the premises, when such sale is
made within the limits of any incorporated
city of this county having ordinances for
the punishment of such cases, is not indict-
able. If made without the city lin
its of such city, is indictable.
Habitual sales either within or with
out the limits OF such city makes the seller
indictable for keeping a d%isorderly house.
4th-A single sale of malt liquor in less
quantity than a quart not to be drunk upon
or about the premises, is not indictable un-
less it is sold on Sunday. If malt liquor in
any quantity be sold ON Sunday anywhere
in the county, outside the limits of a town
ship, city or incorporated town having in
force laws regulating the sale of liquors, a
single sale makes it an indictable ofense.
A Single sale within the limits of such
town, city, &C., is not indictable. Habit
ual sales on Sunday anywhere in the coun-
ty constitutes a disorderly house.

a knife and in STOPPING to pick it up had
her attention attracted to a peculiar look

denomination we have been unable to learn.
