the reporter. There's nothing
batter with me, although have
u Hme interesting experiences in that
- but I was thinking, when spoke,
I'D Narrow escape friend Of mine, 10,
y, .etail dry goods line, had yesterday.
r,1hg the day a note was brought in
HE store, signed by a very well
,.dFn lady, living just out Of town,
:, bg that a considerable amount Of
liable dry goods be sent to her by
der. and explaining that she had
distress at the house and IL was i'm
.,fble for her TO come into town in
Ion. The messenger asked that the
...kage be made I'D and sent to the Elm
eve Office in time to catch the three
.,1ck motor. This was done, but In
,,.rt time the messenger boy returned
y he store, saving there was no one
IRE 10 receive the goods. He received
.-~,tbing OF scOlding for not leaving
.ss Goods in the Office, and was sent
s-ee with instructions TO catch the
f--ro'c.0ck motor and take the pack
.,s 10 the residence himself. This the
sSvd.d. when the lady said she had
--cs1 no order for goods, and had no
s,,~stress in the house at present.
rss how returned 70 the store with this
--..r-q. and in addition the lady
-alei up the store bv telephone and
-o4, % similar S-ement, which
.Ioved cOnclusively that an effort had
lsso made 10 obtain the goods under
tr.s rrstenses. but that, at the Elm
Grove station, the nerve Of the person
vs, was TO get the package had failed.
r.a specimen case OF a good many
mrsa1tly occurring"
uTbe grand Jury which meets Monday
vmFseIy have little 70 do in the way
- considering criminal business" said
p,acutng Attorney Howard, las the
F,r NJ uresentments will be unusually
r,bt. There has been out little crime
h the county for some months past, and
M eases against Devinney and Hess,
io-ro5)ery, are the most serious on the
r,. there are two or three cases OF
garilarceny, but they present no IN
usus features"
aoIicc business has been extraordi-
nv dull this week." said Chief Nc
MOL last night. Not enough money
Rbeen taken in during the week to
for the shoe leather OF the force,
/ the outlook is bad. Even drunken
Eess has fallen of great deal Of late,
hnd unimportant cases OF disorder are
|the most serious we have had for quite
q time. OF course, this is gratifying,
but 10 makes things awful dull about the
police Offices.
81 hardly think the new RePGbl''g
c-,lsnization will purchase a permanent
'lbuUding," said a Republican, yesterday,
.kalthough there has been some talk
kboutit. Quarters will be rented for a
rem OF wears. have no doubt enough
'tn0uey could be raised, if stock COM
.h31v were formed, but 10 would take a
NEood deal of cash TO get a building on
8karket street, OF In that vicinity, In the
lertral partof the city, and that's where
Ikuch a Headquarters ought 70 be. In de-
Ibatipg the matter, 10 has been pointed
lut that q couple of store rooms would
kelly return "a fair interest on the in-
kestment while a building on a side
k,reeJ would likely be available for moth
h. but club purposes, but nothing dem
lite has been done. We intend to steer
hear of the things which wrecked the
Id Lincoln Club, whatever we do.
THAT was intended to be a general Re-
publican headquarters, open 70 rich
and POOR members alike, but some OF
those at It's head froze out the rank and
f.e aud it degenerated into a card
PLAYING headquarters for few eXclu-
syes, until anyone outside of small
inner circle, was received with chilly
manner and an icy stare as soon as he
Iut his foot in the building. 1t had
ila dry rot, and It's death didn't come
i00 soon. That sort or thing Is AL
right in q regular social club, where
members own everything and outsiders
are not tolerated, but political club,
h0e Of any earthly use, must be run on
adilereut basis"
"Wba, have you got there?" asked a
rg0rter Of a gentleman, last evening,
8 the gentleman was observed care
il.y wrapping the frayed ends OF
snail piece of cotton rope with thread.
ltS piece Of the rope with which
sler was hanged" was the reply, as
i-e biz was exhibited, sand intend to
Aaap 10 as a relic. got It from Sheriff
Eeelr0d who cut the rope up yeSter-
fag and distributed the pieces around,
.2r as they would 60. l understand
la moose is 10 be given to Officer Paul
Porter. I'm going to carry nay piece in
h7 pocket for luck. BY and by I'll re-
por, how it works, or If il turns out a
tC0joo."
This is about the toughest job I've
fla across lately" said one Of the extra
