During the night of Thursday last the
post office at Annandale, this county, was
entered by II burglar. The fellow did not
bother himself in filling his pockets with
postage stamps and pennies. He was after
larger plumber In sorting over the
letters which had not yet been delivered
he found four, which TO his practiced
hand, revealed bank checks. These he
tore open and extracted the checks, throw
ing the envelopes upon the floor.
The checks satisfied the man, apparently
for he departed without disturbing any
thing else Two Of these checks were
drawn by b. II. Leigh on the Clinton
National Bank, and were payable to two
ladies' named Myres, who live near Amman
dale, and they had been mailed 10 The
Misses Myres in payment Of the July divi-
dend due them from said Bank. One OF
the other four was drawn in favor of ID.
M. Sharp, and who the fourth one was
payable 10 we did not learn. Altogether
the four checks called for a trifle over
ninety dollars.
After leaving Annandale the thief pro :.
ceedcd TO High Bridge, where after forging
the endorsement of the Misses Myres on
the back OF those two checks, got them
cashed by a merchant named Apgar.
In the meanwhile the robbery had been
discovered in the office ut Annandale, aid
by telegrapbing around to near by towns
the trail OF the burglar was discovered.
lie was arrested at Calfon and committed
to our county Jail, which place he reach
cd Friday night.
lie gives the name of John Pode. He
Is determined looking man, about 80
years OF age. Whether his prosecution
will be matter for the United States
Courts or our own we do not know. His
crime comes as near to being one Of
robbing The United States mails as may
be.
The two checks which he succeeded 10
getting eashed amounted to about $40.
OF this sum the fellow had $3.50. 65 on his

The hail storm of Sunday afternoon,
June 23, did much damage west of us.
Near Croton hundreds of window lights
were broken and corn fields were almost
ruined. Two horses belonging to Henry
Wrage, out in the pasture field, were peli-
ed fearfully by the chunks of ice, but the
report that they were killed TO end their
misery was false one. Hundreds OF
young turkeys and chickens all through
the Croton district were killed.
Farther west, on the farm of Capt. John
Shields, the hail stones were as big as
small sized hens eggs, and they fell with
great fury. Fields Of wheat and corn
were utterly ruined, and thirty three
young turkeys belonging to Garret Van
Doren, who farms the place, were killed.
The mothers of the broods looked after
the storm as If they had been scrapping
with a threshing machine. Twenty five
window lights in his house were broken
out.
At the Oak Grove creamery fifty four
panes of glass fell in pieces from their
places in the windows, and gardens far
and near laid waste by hail and water.
From the windows OF the farm house on
ex-Sherin Lakes place, occupied by o.
Merrill, ffty-two pancs of glass were
broken clip and clean, and some of the
growing crops were flattened to the earth
as if land roller had gone over them.
From Sergeantsvile and Sand Brook
and all down that way the hail hammered
things to pieces. Perhaps hundred
window lights were broken in Sergeants-
vile and near by. AT Sand Brook Fred.
Lindabury's house was pelted on oil sides
by the hail stones, and some of his crops
were almost ruined.
pittstown, Clinton and points north and
west OF Pennington also fell in the march
of the great storm and the same character
of disaster is reported from them. = HIM

Charged win Unlawful rlshing.

ID. w. Hoover and son were brought
before Squire Kline on Wednesday on a
warrant sworn out by Fish warden Dun
ham, charged with violating that part of
the law which says that water shall not
be drawn from pond or stream for the
purpose Of taking fish therefrom.
The evidence was that Mr.. Hoover, who
runs the plant known as Rowlands Mill,
drew off some water from the mill pond
on the north side of his mill to do some
repairing, and that afterwards his son
with some other boys saw number of
large carp in the water, and taking pitch
forks spesred several of them. Mr..
Hoover claimed there was no intent on his
part to fish at all, and further, no law
against spearing carp, which are now
found to be ruinous to the successful
propagation OF other fish. The Justice
fined the defendants $25 each and costs.
They being without counsel did not
know the proper course 10 take, but
listener at the hearing at once came for
ward and gave bends for them pending
an appeal. There are others named in the
warrant charged with the same thing, but as
they were away from homo when the
officer called, they will appear later

The large and wtll filed barn and
hovel on the farm belonging to the estate
of the late Judah Higgins, of Fleming
ton, and situate near Wertsvlle, were
burned by lightning at about o'clock
last Thursday evening. the premises are
occupied by William Y. Holt. Five min
utes before the bolt fell he and his house
maid were near the hovel milking the
cows. The storm was seen to be gather
ing so rapidly that be told the woman to
leave the milking unfinished and they
would go TO the house. They had just
reached the house aud lit the lamp when
there was a binding flash and a tremen-
dous report, and flames burst from the
howell. The buildings contained twenty
tons of hay, between two and three hun
bred bushels Of oats, lot of farm ma
chinery, harness, &c. BY hard work Mr..
Holt managed TO save all the live stock
and some of the machinery, he having
been quick TO see the disaster. There
was some insurance upon the property
destroyed.

At SIianalia's.

The Morristown Jerscymau, In speak
ing of the Republican nomination for
Governor, says: The indications are that
the Northern Counties of the State, in
Guiding Passaic, Bergen, Morris, Sussex
and Warren, will be practically unit for
John w. Griggs in the Republican Con-
vcntion TO nominate candidate for Gov
crnor. This will not insure his success,
of course, but it will be solid wall of
strength that cannot fail TO have large
influence, and it will be reinforced by
support from many other counties. He
is, in our judgment, the leading candidate
to-day, as he is unquestonably the most
perfectly qualified man in point of expert
ence. ability and integrity, of any that
have been named for The place. This
fact Democrats who can afford TO speak
the truth recognize quite as fully as Re-
pubicaus, and Senator Winton, in last
weeks Bergen County Democrat, frankly
said of him; =
"Mr Griggs has been selected as the
candidate of the conservative wing OF the
party, and II he Is not nominated there is
likely to be trouble. GiiSgs would be an
ideal candidate, standing head and shout
tlers above his competitions in his own
party and would force the Democrats to
put forward their strongest man.

The amount of money which each coun-
ty will receive from the State for school
purposes for the year beginning July 1st,
has been apportioned by the State Board
of Education. Hunterdon county will
get $58, 1888. 81, which is So, 1914 SO more
than last year. The total amount ap-
portioned is 50, 500, 240, which includes
the State school tax of IS for each child
of school age by the last school census,
and an appropriation of $4,000 from
the proceeds of the invested school funds.
OF the State school tax, 90 per cent. of
the amount collected in each county goes
back to the county in which it was col
lected, and the balance of 10 per cent
goes into reserve fund, which is dis
tributed with regard to tie peculiar con-
ditions existing in the different counties,
such as low or high ratables in proper
ton to the school population or sparse
ly or densely settled county where a great
er or lesser number of teachers and
schools are required than in the other
counties.
BY this reserve fund apportionment
Essex county loses IS, 900 this year, that
is to say, that Essex will receive that
much less from the State school tax than
is collected In that county. Other coun-
ties which will receive from the State
school tax less than is collected in those
counties and The extent to which they will
suffer, are: Mercer, So, 900; Monmouth,
$4,000; Somerset, $2,450. The coun-
ties which will benefit, are Cape May,
$l70; Cumberland, $6,625; Ocean,
$500; Sussex, $4,000. The remaining
counties, including Hudson, will receive
back from the reserve fund exactly the
same amount that was retained from the
State school tax collected in those coun-
ties.
The amount each county receives will
be apportioned TO the school districts I'M
der the township school law of 1894.
Heretofore the amount of money each
county was entitled to was divided among
the several districts in proportion 10 the
school census of each district, with the
exception that very small districts were
allowed fixed sum, whether the school
census of the district was sufficiently
large to entile the district to that certain
sum or not.
Under the new system the apportion-
ment 10 each school district is made on
basis of, first, two hundred dollars for
each teacher employed j; aud, second, the
remainder is distributed in proportion to
the school census in each district. There
are different opinions as to what will be
the result OF this new method of allotting
the money. There is a strong belief that
the new plan will result in decreasing
sums for those sections where parochal
and private schools are located, on the
theory that in such localities the proper
lion of teachers In the public schools to
the public school census Is much smaller
than in other sections, and that the latter
will therefore benefit at the expense of
the former.

to note the fact that Allan l.. McDcrmott
and Benjamin f. Lee and their other

more than all the newspapers put to-
gether. Not that this touches the marrow
of the matter, but it does show that tho
States money does not all go to tho print

Caught by a Balloon Rope and Carried to
the Clouds.

Caught by a Balloon Rope and Carried to
the Clouds.
The picnickers at Neshaminy Falls Park
Saturday afternoon witnessed an adven-
ture that nearly paralyzed them. William
Trainer, the aeronaut, was preparing to
make the balloon ascension and parachute
leap, while men and boys stood around
helping to hold the balloon. Frederick
Young, lad Of 10 years, in some way
got his feet entangled in the ropes and
when the large silk bag shot upward he
was dragged along with it, Trainer was
clinging to the parachute trapeze and i'm
mediatcly saw the child's peril and shouted
instructions TO him how to hold on.
The balloon sailed farther and farther
away, and seemed to grow small TO the
anxious gazers below 1t floated out
toward Langhorne, and was, Traines
says, mile and a half from the ground
at one time. Then 1t began slowly to set
tie as the hot air within it cooled. Grad
ualy il sank, but still floated before the
breeze. Lower 1t got, and Frederick
Young's heart leaped with joy when il got
down to the level OF the tree top, and the
next instant they alighled in wheat
field. This was three miles from where
they started. Except dreadful fright
and wrcnched ankle where he was
caught by the ropes, the lad was unin-
jured. AS quick as he could he went
back TO the park and returned TO Phila-
delphia with his friends.
