On Monday morning of last week tho
residence OF Joshua Primer, at Sergeants-
vile, was robbed of money and goods,
and thus far no trace of the guilty parties
e;'s.-,- T-;A-- ---L-----s--e - '-~-s-
clue, but met with no success. The story
OF the robbery is thus told by the Hunter
dor, Democrat Of this week
Last Monday morning as this paper was
being put to press, officer Ramsey, armed
with search warrant issued by Justice
A. B. Kline, was preparing to drive to
Sergeantsville to search suspected premi.
ses for the recovery of money and goods
stolen either Saturday afternoon or even
ing from the premises of our aged and re-
spected friend, Joshua Primer.
On the Saturday afternoon in question
Mr.. and Mrs. Primer attended sale in
the vicinity. They returned towards night
and after supper they again went out,
leaving the house alone. During their
absence on one or the other OF these occa-
sions some wretched sneak entered the
house Of the old couple and stole there
from 500 in bank bills, $50 In gold, about
$40 in old and valuable coins and few
dollars in silver change. In addition to
the money three gold rings, gold chain,
a $40 shawl belonging 10 Mrs. Primer and
some bed clothing were taken.
This shawl Mrs. Primer looked for, but
could not find, on going out in the even
ing, and therefore ii is fair TO presume
that the robbery occurred during the alb.
sence of the family Saturday afternoon.
Not suspecting the theft OF the shawl the
old couple proceeded without 1t, and IL
was not until Sunday morning that the
robbery was discovered. In the evening
Mr.. Primer drove to Pennington and had
the warrant issued. lie suspected young
girl who lives near by, for she had been
shown many, IL not ALL of the stolen arti-
Giles by Mrs Primer on that very day.
She also knew where Mrs. Primer kept
the key OF the bureau in which the money
and gold ornaments we're laid. This key
had been used in opening the drawer !;
therefore whoever did the deed knew the
lay of The premises right well. Entrance
to the house was effected through cellar
window which had been broken open.
The search of the suspected premises
by Officer Ramsey revealed nothing. Not
a sign of any part OF the missing property
was discovered, and the young giIl must
be considered innocent of the crime, I'M
less subsequent developments incriminate
her This is but common fairness.
The loss Of The money is one of much
c ,nst qucncc to Mr. Primer, for as we say
above, he is an aged man and not in a po-
sition TO make 1t up speedily. The per.
son who robbed him must have known
this, thus making the crime all the more
unworthy OF any one in whose breast flows
the milk OF human kindness.

On Thursday last, says the Hunter
don Democrat, Sheriff Poulson went over
to Doylestown after the accomplice of
Walter Earle in the Frenchtown robbery,
reported in these columns last week. Be-
ing properly armed with the necessary
papers, the Sheriff had no difficulty in
securing his man. He gives the name of
John Powers and claims residence in
Brooklyn, N. Y. He is short, thick-set
young man, and apparently able to make
a full hand with burglar tools or even with
a pick and shovel in railroad gang. He
and his pal, Earle, will have time to figure
up profits and losses on the Frenchtown
job between now and the September term
of Court and be able to report at that

ponularitx Of the bicycle.

Some definite idea Of the growth OF
the bicycle business in this country may
DO gained from the fact that whereas
the total number Of bicycle manufacto-
rfes in the United States was but six IN
1885, with an output of only 1000
wheels, and in 1890 but II, with an
output Of 10000, at the present time
there are 1875 factories, which viii mako
an aggregate Of nearly or quito half q
million machines this year. The in
crease in the last five years has been
nothing short Of marvellous, and 1t Is
probable that the next five years will
see very great advance upon the pres
ont product Of these fast multiplying
concerns. And now that bicycling Is be-
coming SO much more general than hith-
erto there Is added reason why we
should improve our country roads If
road reform was necessary five years
ago, 1t Is Tar more necessary and desira-
