tend to let them arrest her, and that she
was armed with gun and would shoot
the one who stepped on her porch or at
tempted to break the door in. The Off

T. H. Landon, principal of the Borden
town Military Institute, was seen on Sat-
urday in regard to person giving the
name of Harrison w. Rope, who claimed
to be cadet at the Institute, and who
had been arrested at Jersey City, on Fri
day morning, charged with burglary at a
church out of Newark. Mr.. Landon stat
ed that no student of the name of Harri-
son W. Rope does now or ever has be-
longed to the school. Il is thought his
name is Harrison w. Pope, who few
months ago secreted himself on the top of
the vestibule at the Baptist Tabernacle in
Bordentown, unobserved by the congre-
CATION. After he had been discovered be
stated that the sermon preached by Rev.
DR.. James Lisk was the best he had ever
listened to. Pope few months ago en-
tered st. Mary's P. E. Church, at Burling-
ton, he said for the purpose of taking a
sleep. He was committed to the Burling-
ton county jail, but no charge of breaking
and entering was made against him.
Pope's father was a resident of Borden
town many years ago and carried on the
shoe trade. 1t appears to be a mania
with Pope to break into churches.
