A SOFT HEARTED BURGLAR,
HIs Charity worked His Own I'M
doing.
Special to the Jerscu CITY Nezrs-

ASBURY PARK, Oct. q. 1ss6.-The po-
lice have in custody the oldest. s~oftest-
hearted burglar on record. He is a well
educated negro who gives the name Of
Edward Turner. Early last Thursday
morning a negro broke into the Fourth
avenue residence of Mrs. Vail, a poor
widow. He grabbed her by the throat
and asked her for money and jewels,
and at last for something to eat. She
said she had nothing except some -four
and potatoes.
What" asked the burglar, mo tea,
no coffee, no lard, nc butter2'
mo, nothing? 2" said Mrs. Vail.
The burglar took his hand from Mrs.
Wallis throat and told her that the next
afternoon a man would come there with
a box of groceries.
IN the box said the burglar, .you
viii find the picture of a man. Any
time you are in trouble don't hesitate
to call on him, as he is a friend of
yours"
Mrs. Vail was away from home next
day, but the box came ali the same and
the milkman found it On the porch next
morning. The box ultimately. found its
way Into the aud of Chief Of Police
Smith. In 1t he Gun n pound of lard,
two pounds of two ounces of tea,
a quarter of a pound of butter, one pound
OF coffee and a yeast CAKE Tnere was
also q cabinet picture of a white man,
with the name &C. E. Manton' written
upon the back.
Besides these things there was a note.
which read as follows
sMadame-To prove that / will keep
my word here are the things you want.
C. E. NJ"
The Chief. by means of the peculiar
string which bound the packages, traced
the place of purchase of the articles and
the grocer said Turner had bought them.
When captured yesterday Turner at first
denied everything. A search of his
room in West Park revealed a picture of
Mrs. Vail, and, being closely questioned
by the marshal, he finally admitted that
he had sent the groceries to her house.
Turner was sent to Freehold jail.

The Rival .laims of the Par,,e..

Both parties are telling the w-orkingmen
In this campaign that the election of their

Bryan means National prosperity, that

the election Of Mckinley is to bring us
a boom, that of Bryan must involve ruin
Or at least depression.
It is urgent, therefore, for the voter
and especially for the w-orkingman to
make up his mind which claims are well
founded. Which of the W parties VIII

which the two parties base their claims.
The silverites start out by admitting
that the election of Bryan will be in

dispute the certain fact: The election of
Bryan means instantaneous business dis

IN a word, no one knows how great 1t will
be; there is only the certainty that dis
aster will come. No silver advocate pre-
tends to deny this. Even Mr.. Bryan him
