Missionary Sunday.

The Missionary Sunday of the Pres
byterians was observed Sunday in
all the churches of that denomination
in this city. Sermons were preached
by the pastors in the morning, uphold
ng and advocating the work of For
eign Missions as duty of the Chris
tian Church. A program of Bible read
ings, ETC., prepared by a committee for
the whole State, was in use in the
Sunday Schools. and was made the
basis for the Scripture reading at the
morning service in one of the churches.
All the churches and their pastors
united in the evening, at one of the
largest and most interesting occasions
that have been held for a long time.
The Presbyterian Church seems to be
very much in earnest about sending
the gospel to the heather, if the indi-
cations in our city are any guide.

HILLMAN SCARED.
Thoughts Of His Doom Troubles
Him.

If it were q picnic instead of death
that Joseph Hillman was looking for
ward to seven days hence he could not
more thoroughly enjoy lite in Jail at
Woodbury.. He is to be hanged in the
north end of the corridor, where he is
now spending his last days. In the
yard adjoining the Jail woman was
hanging out washed clothes few days
ago, and she let prop fall against the
fence.
whats that?n exclaimed Hlllman,
starting violently.
'That's only a clothes-prop, Con-
stable Conard explained.
II thought somebody was unloading
lumber" Hillman said with an air of
relief. The boy was present in the
Jail at the execution of George Dun
ham, which took place in q temporary
frame structur between the Jail and
the Court House. ~.-. .-...l
Hillman has ceased to speak of Joe
Leslie as being implicated in the MUIR
der of Seideman, and in letter to a
friend, written on Saturday, he says:
only one, Hillman, had anything to
do with it," The officers look for a
true confession of the crime.

for felonious assault. Mrs. Garrison's
husband, "Foxey" Garrison, is in Jail.

by Constable Ayars, and taken before
Squire Jonathan Loper, who gave him
a hearing. The testimony was very
clear against him, and at its conclusion
he said, Pm not guilty, want to go
to court. The benevolent Justice had
nothing further to do, and he was held
in $500 for his appearance at court.

arrested on the day Annie LIE Coney
was murdered, on suspicion of being
the guilty man, was releasedn n Satur-
day afternoon by order of Prosecutor
Jenkins, of Camden county. His case
came before the grand jury and he
was exonerated. Lingo went home
with a light heart. He said that he
did not regret his incarceration, for he
was safe in Jail while he might have
been lynched had not Smith and Muir
ray confessed what they knew OF the
crime and cleared him, which he was
powerless to do for himself.

PASSING THE MILE STONE.
Pleasant Home Gathering 81
Hiram N. PauIIIn's.

Passing the mile stones along the
path of life has made Hiram N. Paul
lin, the mason, sixty-eight years old,
and Friday the stone representing
that age was reached. Uncle" Hiram
as he is familiarly called, has been pass
ing these mile stones year after year,
without thinking much about it, but
that night there was an occasion, which
will cause him to remember it I'll til
memory with him ceases
Mr.. Paullin was surprised Friday
afternoon by seeing his children,
| ladies and gentlemen, with their chill
dren, marching in the house in a body.
He won't own the surprise, but the
evidence is clearly against him and
must be accepted. But Uncle Hiram
made the best of his surprise and pro-
ceeded to enjoy himself. He gave all
his time and attention to his children,
excepting d little that necessarily he
must devote to his PIONEER to find
| out just how the campaign was going.
dOllIc gatherings dTe always pledS-
ant, but none was ever more so than
this one. Brothers and sisters, chill
dren and grandchildren surrounded
Uncle Hiram, and he was supremely
happy. 1t was not long after the ar
rival of the guests before supper was
announced. In the dining room, two
long extension tables had been set
with a superb collation., and for time
every member of that party was at
tending strictly to business.
After supper the party gave them
selves to social pleasure which contin-
ued until late hour. Those enjoying
the occasion were: Mr.. and Mrs. John
Paullin, Mr.. and Mrs Daniel Bacon,
Mr.. and Mrs. Ed. Bacon, Mr.. and Mrs.
/ William Paullin, MIR. and Mrs. Harry
Elbirn, Mr.. and Mrs, George Blew,

Up Laurel Street.

Business may be slowly but it is
surely going up Laurel street, and the
day is not far off when Laurel street
from Washington to jefferson will be
lined on both sides with handsome
stores and business structures. w. w.
Robbins has already broken ground
for the erection of a handsome brick
structure adjoining the lot of the First
Presbyterian church, and John F..
johnson and A. H. Loper will soon be-
gin the erection of another on the
Reeve property, which was sold on
Thursday. 1t is not improbable that
if other property should be put upon
the market on North Laurel street,
below Washington it would be snapped
up pretty quickly.

SESSION OF COURT.
ELlHU CLARK GETS THREE
MONTHS IN JAIL.
Vile Left ever From Last
Court.


Judge Hoagland held session of the
Common Pleas Court to-day, Judge
Hendee occupying the bench with him.
The first case to be tried was that of
E thu Clark, indicted for keeping dis
orderly house some time ago. Lawyer
J. j. Crandell, of Camden, appeared
for the defendant
Mr.. Crandel asked to have the plea
of not guilty withdrawn, in order to
make motion to quash the indict-
ment, which he thought was not as
faultlessly drawn as heat first glance,
considered it was.
To this, the Prosecutor objected, and
the case was called.
The first witness called was Joseph
Groes, a German, from whom Clark
had rented part of house and barn
on the Malaga road, just out of Mill
vile. This is the place where it is al
legged Clark sold liquor and beer con-
trary to law. Tue evidence of this wit
ness was at first about as cOmprehen-
sive and satisfactory as if he had been
Chinese, but after good deal OF diff
ficulty, the Prosecutor elected from
him that he knew Clark, had lived in
the house with Clark, and had seen
beer at Clark's rooms. He had seen
Clark draw beer from the keg, had
seen him sell the beer. The beer was
kept in the barn. He had seen the
beer sold on Sunday; had seen fighting
there on Sunday.
John Horton said he knew Clark and
was at his place on Sunday, April 18th
last and bought three glasses of beer
in the barn. Couldn't say from whom
he bought the beer; laid down a quar-
ter ON the plank, but could not tell
who took up the money. He saw Jos.
| Groes there che was chief cook" said
| the witness.
John Murphey and Daniel Carlisle
testified to buying beer at Clark's on
Sunday April 18th, last.
THE DEFENSE.
Elihu Clark, was put upon the stand
in defense. He denied all principal
ship in the business and coolly laid it
all on Joseph Groes the owner of the
property. He said Groes' wife got
the keg of beer from her brother at
Port Elizabeth, and that the beer was
theirs he having nothing to do with it.
Phillip and Hannah Turpin tried to
sustain this evidence, but it looks dark
for Elihu.
The summing up was short and the
deliberation Of Judge Hoagland was
still shorter. In moment or two after
the summingup was concluded he said
''the court adjudges the defendant
guilty; stand up Clark. The sentence
of this court is that you be confined in
the county Jail for three months"
Judge Westcott, of Camden, is down
to look after getting new trial in the
case of More, Jonas & More against
whom judgement has been awarded.
Deputy Than. Ogden was busy in
the Grand Jury room naturalizing
voters.
