ANOTHER RAID MADE.
ELMER. JR'S.. HEN
ROOST ROBBED.
David Law is Arrested for steal
ing the Chickens and Lock
ed up in Jail.

The large chicken coops OF Jona.
Elmer, Jr., on East Commerce street,
have often been visited by chicken
thieves, and many of his finest fowls
have been stolen. About two weeks
ago he lost fifteen, and Saturday night
six more of his best Plymouth Rock
fowls were taken. Mr.. Elmer discover
ed his loss early Sunday morning, and
looking about discovered prints of a
mans feet in the mud He tracked
the prints from bis coops across fields,
down the Port Norris railroad track
just beyond Brickville, to the house of
David Laws, colored Mr.. Elmer i'm
mediately accused Laws of stealing the
chickens, and demanded them. Laws
positively denied all knowledge OF the
theft. and said he did not have any
chickens about the place. as he only
kept few ducks. Mr.. Elmer said he
wanted to search the house. Mr..
Laws denied him permission.
Mr.. Elmer then visited the Mayors
Office, and u warrant was issued for
the arrest of Laws, and placed in the
possession of Officer Parvin. With
Mr.. Elmer the officer visited the house
and went through the place, going
from garret to cellar In almost every
place in the house chicken feathers
were found. On the stair steps was
found flour bag filled with feathers
from Plymouth Rock chickens, and
this was the kind stolen from Mr..
Elmer. The family evinced no un-
easiness until the officer started for the
cellar Then the entire family went
down, and watched curiously, but
there were no developments. Laws
was then arrested and locked up, and
shortly after taken to Jail.
Alfred Gould, who lives near by
says tssat after Mr. Elmer had left the
house two men were seen coming from
the place with bundles under their
coats. They went through the woods,
where many feathers were found. The
hearing of Laws will be held sometime
tomorrow, and there may be some
very interesting developments.

Three Horses Killed.

Officers Carlisle and Cussin, of the
w. B. of the S. P. G. A, were out
again on Saturday and killed three
more horses which were condemned as
worthless. The officers were ac-
companied in their travels by Consta-
BILE Ayars. They experienced con
siderable trouble in convincing q man
that they had the power to kill his
horse, and some of the victims resent
their intrusion. One woman on Satur-
day, endeavored to run the officers off
with pitchfork. The officers did not
run. Another place was visited, and

with huge spikes, but they effected an

there was no shed for them, as a conse-
quenee they were compelled to stand

THE PEACH YELLOWS.
Decisive steps TO be Taken In
Delaware.

On the 18th inst. the largest Conven-
ton of Peach Growers held in Della
ware, was in session, and the principal
business of the meeting was the discus
sion of the disease known as Peach
Yellows," which every farmer in Cum
berland county knows is fast destroy
ing almost every orchard. Tn Della
ware the disease is making the same
sad havoc, and the men who have
made their living from growing peach
es, nave become discouraged, and
they declare that unless something is
done Immediately the crops will GER
tainly be totally destroyed in the
future.
II was shown to the Convention that
the disease had first made its appear
ance in the State in 1S42, near Della
ware City, New Castle county. 1t
reached Middletown in 1880, and in
1886 was doing great damage in the
vicinity of Dover The result OF its
ravages was that in New Castle county
| it was in all the orchards, and many
were entirely ruined. There are only
a few old orchards, and what few
young ones there were, were attacked
| In the upper third of Kent county
four.ffths of all the orchards We're af-
fest and OF least one-third were en-
| ti-siy fained. In the middle part Of
the county about three-fourths Of all
the orchards were affected; some of
them were ruined. Nearly one nalf
were affected in the lower part OF Kent
county, but in most cases there are
only a few affected trees in each or
chard, and majority of the trees are
still healthy. The disease only pre-
walls to a limited extent in Sussex Co.,
and mostly near Milford It is not

NEW LETTER BOXES.
Important Changes to be Made in
Their Construction.

The Postmaster General has deter
mined to substitute new and improved
letter boxes in place of the ones now
hanging on lamp posts in the different
cities, Camden included. Proposals and
models have been asked for, which are
to be examined at the Post Office De-
partment Among those submitted and
which will probably be accepted, is one
invented by Horace B. Lambert, of the
Boston post Office. The box briefly
described is as follows:
A box within box, the outer one
looking like the one now in use, but
entirely different. The opening for the
admission of mail matter is through
the walls of both boxes, but when the
collector unlocks the door of the outer
box, the opening of the inner box closes
automatically, and is locked securely.
The contents are completely protected
from the weather. from pilfering and
loss while in transit to the postoffice.
:, The collector removes the inner box,
substituting an empty one, and carries
the one containing the mail to the
Office, where special key in the hands
of the proper clerk is required to un-
lock it. Thus even the collector him
self cannot get the valuable contents.
When the collector places the empty
box within the outer box, and closes
and locks the door of the latter, it au-
tomatically registers the hour of the
collection on dial in plain view, thus
spotting the collector if he neglects his
duty. The inner box is so constructed
that, although an adjunct to the lamp
post, it is distinct and secure as C.
locked mail pouch. Security against
loss or damage at all times is thus af-
forded by this system. Absolute regu-
larity in the collection of mail from
street boxes is assured In addition to
the security and regularity of this
system, it is claimed that quite . saw
ing in time will be made, inasmuch as
all collections are to be made by
wagons AS all inner boxes are to be
numbered and charged each trip to the
collector going out, if the boxes fail to
be returned on the schedule time, the
neglect is promptly discovered.

Nearly 2000 Jerseymen, or two full
regiments, will participate in the grand
parade at General Harrison's inaugur-
alton. The parade all told will num-
ber upwards of $4,000 men. Large de-
tachments of United States troops and
of the National Guard of the different
States of the Union, will be present,
and there will also be splendid rep
resentation of the various political and
civic organizations of the country.
New Jerseys contingent will be both
civil and military. Camden will be
represented by several of her crack
Republican organizations. Bridgeton
will not send any OF her clubs down,
but numbers of our citizens will be
there, among them will be a number
of the veterans of the late war. Very
different will be their feelings on this
occasion from what they were when
they donned the blue in 81 and rushed
to the front to save the nation in it's
struggle for life. The return 10 the
city which they aided in guarding du-
ring the terrible scenes of the Civil
War will, in certain sense, be TO them
a sort of celebration of the safety and
perpetuity of the Union to which they
offered their lives in willing sacridce.

THOMAS B. PEDDIE DEAD.
The End Of a Successful Career
A Sketch Of the Life OF the
Friend of PedGie
HnStifmfn

NEWARK, N. j., Feb. FIX Con-
gresham Thomas B. Peddie, died of
pneumonia last night. He was born
in Edinburgh, Scotland, in February,
1906. He went to Newark in 1888, and
found employment in q saddlery fac
tory. Later he hired q small building
and started the first factory in the city
for the exclusive manufacture Of bags.
His business increased, and he soon
enlarged the place. Since 1850 he had
gradually built up the business, until
at present his factories occupy almost
an entire block. He was Mayor Of
Newark in 1869.70, and a member of
Congress from 1876 to 1878. He was
one of the originators of the Essex
county National Bank, OF which he
was Vice President, having always
been Director and large stockhold-
er. He was also one of the Directo. IS
of the American Insurance Company
of the Plank Road Company, the State
Agricultural Society of New Jersey,
and the City Hospital of Newark. He
was President of the Security Savings
Bank, and a member of the New Jer-
sey Historical Society and Trustee of
the City Home, President of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children, and an active member of the
Board of Trade, of which he was once
President.
In religion, Mr.. Peddie was Baptist,
and had always been q most liberal
giver to this denomination. He aided
largely in building the first Baptist
Church, on Academy street, Newark,
and spent thousands of dollars upon
its Improvement and adornment. He
was also bearing the expense of the
erection of the new edifice of that
church on the corner of Broad and
Fulton streets, Newark, which will
cost about $150,000. He also gave
largely to the Peddie Institute at
Hightstown, and it is said that his gifts
to the Baptist denomination amount
to nearly 100000. He is survived by
a son, daughter and widow. He leaves
a large fortune.

Bridgeton has need to encourage the
young men who have stepped forward
and declared their willingness to join
a Company of the National Guard,
and be a protection to the State. Sol
diers are a necessity. No one can tell
when they may be wanted. The
railroad difficulty Of ~, is within the
memory of many of our people.
No doubt but there would have been
rioting at important points of traffic
had it not been for the State National
Guards which was ready for just such
an emergency. Local pride is some
thing, and when it is remembered that
Bridgeton has just cause to be proud
of her citizen soldiery, there should be
every encouragement held out to the
Company that its ranks Ley be kept
full and up to the required standard of
discipline should it be permitted to
join the Sixth Regiment.
