MISS scOIT WILL RECOVER.

Pastor Bruce Made No Mention of the
Occurrence Yesterday.
Miss Aggie Scott of Greenyllle is on the
way TO recovery, n Doctors Finn aud
Forman are confident that the two bull
lets still in her body can be extracted
without any serious result. There is one
obstacle to her ultimate recovery tnat is
feared by her friends. and tina is the
possibility OF her becoming excited
and worried over the happenings of the
past few dabs. As long as Miss Scott re-
mains quiety saw the doctors. she will
continue to improve. Miss Scott does
not know that two of the bullets are still
in her body and she will not be made
aware of this fact until she becomes
strong enough to undergo an operation.
Contrary to expectations Pastor Bruce of
the Reformed Church had nothing to say
about the matter at either of the services
yesterday. At the morning service he
gave evidence of the modification he
feels at his hrether's d~isgraceful action.
AS he read she Scriptures prior to deliver
ing his sermon his voice was weak and
trembling. He was pitied by all present.
He recovered his composure before he de-
livered the sermon, however, aud the dis
course was delivered in a sharp. clear and
firm tone.

SHOT BY A BURGLAR.
A Well-known Baker of Camden
Killed in His Home This
Morning.
special to DE Jerseg On Ne1ua.

ROcSt ~ SHI - OEt AFCSsf
CAMDEN, Dec. 4, 1898 William Kairer.
a well-known baker, of 429 Beckett street.
was shot and killed early this morning by
a burglar who entered the house.
A few minutes before five O'Clock this
morning Kairer was awakened by a noise
downstairs. He got out of bed, and,
without waiting to dress himself, went to
the head OF the stairs and listened. He
heard footsteps and was convinced that
someone was trying to force an entrance
into the house.
Subsequently he went downstairs and
saw a man on the porch. The burglar
had opened the parlor window. and as
Kairer called to him the intruder fired
three shots in rapid succession. One
shot passed through the bakers breast,
and he fell to the floor.
The noise of the shooting aroused the
other inmates of the house and they found
Kairer lying on the parlor floor. breathing
heavily and bleeding from the bullet
wound in his breast. He did not regain
consciousness and died before a physician
arrived.
The burglar and murderer fed without
leaving any clue to his identity. 1t is not
known whether he succeeded in carrying
away any property with him.
The suppoSition is that he was surprised
by Kairer before he could steal anything,
and that he shot the baker down so as to
insure his escape.
The police have been at work on the
case since daylight, but to the present
time, as far as known, have no clue to the
murderer.
During the past few months numerous
burglaries have been committed in Cam
den, and on a number OF occasions the
burglar or burglars have resorted to the
pistol.
In one instance a citizen whose house
was broken into looked out of a second
story window, when two shots were fired
at him by the burglar. Neither took
