but Secure Little Booty.
 JERSEY CITY, Aug. 24.-Thieves in near by New Jersey towns continue their activity. There was great confusion among the residents of the block bounded by PaSsaic, Paulson and Lafayette ave- nues and High street yesterday, whom they awoke and found that 20 of the 21 houses in the Block had been visited by thieves in tho nighttime. Almost every house had unmistakable marks of tools on doors or windows, and three had been actually entered. They are the homes of General Bird w. Spencer. J. F. Kilgour and A. K. Clegg. The Cleggs are away, and un- til they return it will not be known how much has been stolen. Nothing was taken of value from the Spencer house.
 At Kilgour's house one of the thieves was surprised by the late arrival home of Fletcher Kilgour. Young kilgour heard somebody moving around in his fathers room, but paid no attention to it until a man crept down stairs and made dash for the rear door. He escaped before Kill gOur had time to recover from his sur prise and fright. Among the houses where attempts to get in were made are those of the Rev. w. W. Pratt, pastor of the First Baptist church; George Le B. Hartt, the artist and Councilman +. w. Gardner.

Quietly Drinking Beer.

When discovered by Chlct SclrlCS, the men wore quietly drinking a can of beer on Mrs Martelli's lawn. They wero quickly overpowcrcd and handcuffed They described themselves as George White and Thomas Harrison, laborers, of New York.
 In tho evening Constable Thomas L.. Brandcth started with the men in wagon for Newark jail. The prisoners were on tho back seat. Brandcth was describing tho beauties of the surrounding country to his prisoners when White suddenly vaultcd over the wagon wheel, and with a pleasant Good night, old man, vanish ed in the darkness.
 Brandeth requested him to stop, but he wouldn't. So the constable continued on to Newark with Harrison. Great was the indignation at Nutley when the news of the escape was known, and there was talk of immediately prcfcrring charges against Brandcth. This may yet be done.
 Tho Nutleyites are very earnest in their demand for moro thorough police prOtec- tion, and the township committee will doubtlcsss take immediate steps in this direction. It should bo said in justice to the present constabulary that the entire appropriation made by Franklin township for tho police department of Nutley dur ing the current year was S100. This sum is paid to the chief as salary.
 Tho four conStablcs serve without direct monetary remuneration from tho village. Private watchmcn have been employed by some residents, but Nutlcy folk will not feel secure after nightfall in view of tho present reign of terror until the village has q regularly paid police department.

Nutley Up In Arms.

Nutley is up in arms. Never before has the town been so torn up with excitement. It is all on account of the startling fact that in the last three days no less than 23 residences have been boldly entered over night and the invaders have dined and wined at the owners expense without the formality of an invitation or even an in troduction.
 "The Inclosure,S . which contains Nut ley's most costly residences has suffered more than any other locality. This speaks well for the judgment of the burglars, who in one instance dined on cold mutt ton, pate de fois gras and frozen pudding, washed down with You've Cliquot, before going to an upper room and taking $1. F from a servants pocketbook. This hap pened in the house of George s. Small, Jr., on Highland lane last Thursday night. His house was probably the first of six to bc unlawfully broken into be- tween Thursday nightfall and o'clock yesterday morning.
 When it became known Thursday noon that F houses had been entered the night before tho citizens held their breath in amaZement. But whom yesterdays TO- turns added six moro burglarics to the list the people set their teeth and deter mined to act.
 News was brought in that two tough looking strangers had been arrested dur ing yesterday near tho residence of Mrs. Henry Martelli in Avondalc This town is less than two miles from Nutley, and it was at once assumed that tho men were members of the gang of desperadoCs and despoilers of Nutley.

THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
SUNDAY WILL BE A Memoir ABLE
DAY IN ITS HISTORY.
Liberal Contributions Made on the L u
debtedness OF the Parish-S1, 459
Raised to Take Place
in This Parish Jan. 1O-2Otb.

Communicated:
Last Sunday, the 22nd Sunday
after Trinity, 1895, will always be
remembered in St. Paul's church as a
turning point in the history of the
parish, both spiritually and imam
cially. The church was filled with a
good congregation of ,devout and
earnest worshippers.
The Holy Communion had been Gel
ebrated at the early hour of 1880
o'clock with goodly attendance, and
morning prayer. with brief present.
alton of the cause of giving, was
followed by meeting of the congre
cation to take action on the indebteds
ness of the parish. The rector took
the chair and called upon the Senior
Warden to state the object of the meets
ing, which he did in a strong speech,
stating the amount wanted as being
s., 600 and leading with very gener-
Gus subscription.
The Senior Warden, Mr.. J. @. Bux-
ton, was followed by others, giving
most literally of their means, until
within one half hour ST. 59 was
pledged toward the parish debt. to be
paid within the next twelve months.
Several members of the vestry and
others were absent who will give gems
erously, and also members Of other
congregations, who have been helped
by parishioners of St. Pauls church,
will, no doubt, contribute, among
whom we are already grateful to Mr..
T. L. Vaughn for a generous subscrip-
tion on this occasion, and the debt
will be wiped out. st. Paul's parish
has a new church for it in store, but
at present we are contented to
rejoice that the rectory and the little
church, what we 50 much love, is put
upon sure foundations. For all of
which God be thanked and His peg
pie.
In the evening, after service, and
discourse by the rector on Parish mis-
sions, explaining their meaning and
object, as intended to quicken parish
life, the rector mentioned that
mission would take place in this
parish January 10th to Goth, under
the auspices of the ParOchial Mission
Society, to be conducted by Rev. DR..
Barrett, of Washington, d. @. After
singing of hymn meeting was called
and committees appointed and ar
engagements made for the work.
The rector and parishioners of st.
Paul's parish shall endeavor to show
in this way, that they are not indiffer-
ent to the great enthusiasm which
has been manifested in religion in
this community The whole com
munity will be properly informed of
the nature and hours of preaching
from this time onward. We ask the
prayers of all Christian people upon
our work.

THAT NEW COURTHOUSE.
Should be Built by Home Workmen
Objections to Present Site.

THE SENTINEL's Kernersville cor
respondent contributes the following
in regard to Forsyth's proposed new
court house:
Everybody has an opinion and some
thing to say about the proposed new
court house for Forsyth county. A
master mechanic remarked to me a
few days since land, by the way, /
think he is right, so far as il is pos
sible) that he was of the opinion that
the workmen on the building should
be citizens of Forsyth county, thus
patronizing home and not HE away to
other sections for the employment of
mechanics when there are sufficient
number here out CT employment to
build two court-houses in very short
time. The writer's strongest thought
and opinion regarding the new court
house is that it should by no means
be built upon the old site where now
stands the old building. That spot
should be reserved for a national
public building, which, IN the course
Of events, is certainly coming to Win
ston and the day is not far distant.
A grander and mere suitable location
could not be found in Winston for
public building. 1t is not a desirable
location for courthouse, with the
noise of street cars and the hustle of
busy city on all sides surrounding
it. Go to East Winston, in the ma
jestic grove where only the canticle
of the warbling bird in the morning
sunlight could be heard and that to
give cheer and comfort to the crimi-
nal at the bar and mild temper to Jury,
counsel and court.
