acknowledged his guilt to Inspector Steers
later at police headquarters. The stealing
had been carried on for more than five
years IN very systematic manner. Charles
l.. Tiffany, head Of the firm Of Tiffany &
Co.. and James f. Palmer, the prisoners

until Palmer died in 1878, leaving his bus
iness to his son. The Palmers manufactured
fine bronze goods for Tiffany & Co. He
rendered the firm many large bills. The
son was manager for the elder Palmer and
did a great deal Of business. On account OF
the warm friendship which existed between
the elder Palmer and Charles Tiffany the
usual system of auditing bills was not
used In settling the accounts. When
old Mr.. Palmer died the same courteous and
loose way of conducting business was con-
ferred on tie son, who abused the confidence
reposed in him. On Monday last a discrep-
anoy was discovered in bill rendered by
the prisoner on April 10 for $240. The
items only footed up 1920. The bill had
been checked with the initials of T. e.

& Co. When Mr.. Cook was
shown the initials he pronounced them
forgery. The case was then reported to
the police. Palmer has factory at No. 326

that his swindlinR may exceed $50, 900 after
an xanination Of the books and accounts

A LAND OF MODEL ROADS.

a CitiZsn of union County, n. j., Gives
Some Facts on Their Road system.
Mr.. f. j. Whitehead of Westficld Union
county, N. j., WIS in town Monday and
made some interesting statements to re-
porter about the Union county road system.
He said: "Our taxes run from S27 % to
S3l. 10 per thousand. The regular county
roads are constructed by the direction of
the county commissioners, under State
law which empowers them to say what roads
shall be used as county roads. These high
ways are laid with the Telford pavement.
At first all of our old residents opposed
the measure very strongly, believing irmly
that they were being robbed. But the
measure was finally carried through. Or
course it was an increased expense at first,
but now that the roads are laid 10 inches
deep with stone there will have to be very
little expense on repair for 90 years to
come, and they all realize the benefit.
"None of our farmers now have to drive
but very short distance in muddy weather
before reaching one of the solid roads, and
they now pay what road tax Is necessary
with the utmost cheerfulness.
Eyes, delegations have come from State
after State to investigate our road sytem
and we have had the satifaction of furnish
ing a model for several like systems.

so laid and guarded as to be free from
danger of injury from the anchors of YES
sells, at an expenditure of $50, 600, there can
be no doubt that our citizens and taxpayers
will approve the outlay. The feeling of in
creased safety from contagion, present and
future, will be cheap at that price.
The item regarding the non -payment OF
pensions because of a lack OF funds which
appeared in Wednesdays FREE PRESS was
erroneous so far as Burlington is concerned.
The Howard National bank has cashed up
wards of 100 pension checks for the past
several days Notwithstanding this it is
possible, of course, that a few soldiers In
this vicinity have received a notice saying
that the pension agency was without money
for the payment of pensions due July 4
and payment would necessarily be delayed
till the pending appropriation bill was pass
ed. Notices are being sent to pensioners in
some parts of the State, however.
A former Burlington lady, who Ia now in
the city tells a story at the expense of II
former business man of Burlington, who
has lived at Pomona, Cal, for the past few
years. This lady was stopping with friends
in Pomona, and one day remarked how dry
and dusty and different from our beautiful
Burlington it WAS there. The gen tleman
overheard her aud said, "Madam il you re-
main in Pomona year and don't say 1t Is
better place than Burlington l will buy
you new bonnet" a years residence in
the California city has not changed her
opinion, however, and as they are both in
the city it would be good opportunity for
him to present the lady with the bonnet.

The Terrific Lightning with Heavy
Thunder shower Does Some Damage.
The lightning and thunder which accom-
panied the shower of Friday night was the
soverest ever remembered IN the city. AL
though it rained very hard the night was
made to be almost light as day by the
continued flashes. Tho lightning struck the
dome of st. Josephs church. splintering one
of the columns over the befry, passing
down through and out of the lower part OF
the great tower. Several boards were torn
off. The damage is estimated at between
500 and $500. The church is insured in
I. S. Peck's agency.
The telephone company also suffered some
damage by the storm. a number Of con-
nections were burned out and the accom-
panyng wind crossed good many Of the
wires and pole on the corner of North VIII
lard and LOOMS streets was shattered.
During the storm the current from an cleo
trio light wire gave Mrs. George S. Wright
OF Grant street, who was reading by the
window severe shock, throwing her on to
the floor She was in dazed condition
from its effects for some time.

lightning had affected the fire alarm system,
but an inspection of goodly number of tbs
boxes found everything in working order.
