the latest offer made by the Santa Fe

won the battle for the people. A
trip to the worlds fair is now within
the reach of all.
From October 10 to 81 tickets from
Lamar to Chicago and return will be
sold at the very low price of $50 25
ST less than the ordinary one way
fare-good on all trains. The final
return limit of these tickets is No
vember ..
Within few weeks the gates of
the greatest exposition the world has
ever known will be closed to the pub
lie. No one can afford to miss see
ing this magnificent conception #
modern art and enterprise, especially
when the rate of transportation is
brought down to the level of hard
times. Take advantage of this rate.
1t is the opportunity of a lifetime.
Tickets from Lamar to st. Louis

Thomas Graham, who in 1879 was SEN
fenced in Camden to 20 years imprison-
ment for participation in the murder OF
John M. Armstrong, for which crime
Benjamin Hunter was hanged, was re-
leased from state prison on Friday. Six
years and three months Of his sentence
was deducted for good behavior.
Hunter. well-to-do stove manutactur-
er, had $4,000 insurance on the life OF
Armstrong in three New York companies.
He offered Graham, who was vegetable
peddler of vagrant habits, $500 to kill
Armstrong The two followed Armstrong
across the ferry to Camden on snowy
night in the winter of 1873. There on
dark street Graham struck Armstrong
with Ratchet, knocking him down. He
then became frightened and ran away,
but Hunter picked up the Ratchet and
dealt another blow on the head of the
PROSTATE man. The two men escaped
across the ferry.
Armstrong was found by the police and
taken to his home in Philadelphia, where
he died in short time. Hunter, who
was looked upon as his most intimate
friend, nursed the wounded man and tore
the bandages off the wounds. Armstrong
bled to death. Hunter and Graham were
subsequently arrested. While in prison
Hunter offered a fellow prisoner 5000 to
put poison in Graham's food. In the
trial Graham turned states evidence, and
for this service was allowed TO escape the
gallows.

The Post-Omoe.

Within the past month Postmaster
Collins has been the subject of much crit
icism. One cause for the fault-inding
was that on one or two evenings, Mr..
Collins closed the Office before distribu-
ting the Hightstown mail, which should
reach the Office about S.45 P. NJ, but,
which is often delayed until after that
time. Both times when the Office was
closed before the public thought it should
be, was on Saturday evenings.
The second cause for complaint was
that the postmaster closed departing
mails an hour before the starting of trains
from the railroad station. The law says
he may close half hour before the de-
parture of the mail, and Mr.. Collins inter-
preted this to mean before leaving the
post-office, claiming that he had half
hour to get the mails from the Office to
the station.
Owing to these complaints Mr.. Collins
wrote to the Department at Washington,
and asked for extension of time for clos
ing mails, and also requested a ruling on
the time for closing the Office.
On Monday he received reply that his
first request was being considered. In
answer to the subject of closing the office
he was told there was no regular or speci-
fed time for closing, but was referred to
section in the Postal Regulations which,
he was told, governed the case. The sec
ton says: Every postmaster must keep
his post Office open for the dispatch of
business every day except Sundays and
holidays, during the usual hours in which
the principal business houses in the place
are kept OPEN"
This substantially leaves the matter in
the hands of Mr.. Collins, and he will
hereafter pr obably close the Office prompt
ly at s o'clock in the evening.
