Death of Colored Woman Who Sa Washin-tnn Inaupnrated.

Washington Inaugurated.
 NEW YORK, May 11.-While the Cen tennial celebration of Washington's in- auguration was i'll progress in this city, an old colored woman, helpless with pa ralysis ill her limbs, sat in the cosy house at No. BIO First street, Jersey City, telling her friends about the first inauguration, one hundred years ago. She was Mrs. Jane Davis, known by every one as Aunt Jane." For thirty years she was stewardess at the Pennsylvania ferry house at the foot of Debrosses street. On account of her ill-health sho quit the work about seven years ago, since which time the company has allowed her pen sion of fifteen dollars month, and she has lived with kind- woman, Mrs. Williams.
 Aunt Jane" died Wednesday, when the paralysis touched her heart. Her mind was clear to the last. Her funeral took place yesterday afternoon at three o'clock. The burial certificate given by Dr. Lockner shows that Aunt Jane" was not able to tell the date of her birth, but she claims that her son was thirty years old at the beginning of the war of 1872. She often told about coming North from Georgia with tho Labarbieres family. She was a slave, owned by Paul Virdier, and was hired out as a nurse. Her son went to France with his master, who was drafted in 1872, and ran away. She never heard from him again.

 The people have been very quiet all day. They discuss the revolting scene at the scaffold and are somewhat bitter in their denunciation of the bungling work.

During the past month farmers
throughout Camden, Gloucester and
Burlington counties, have suffered
greatly from the depredations of poul-
try thieves. In the vicinity of Camden
City henneries have been almost en-
tirely cleaned out, ard, in other in
stances, the, choice fowls have been
picked out and the inferior ones left on
their perches. For long time it was
generally supposed that the thieves
were from the vicinity of Snow Hill,
and In some instances the thefts were
traced to parties living at that place,
and they have been arrested and held
for court. Recent wholesale thefts,
however, have led to the conclusion
that there is an organized gang of
chicken thieves, with Headquarters IN
Philadelphia, who have been opera
ting chiefly in Burlington and Camden
counties, although reports of robber-
les have also been heard from Glouces-
ter County.
