LOSER WILL EAT CROW.
Novel Bet Made by Two New Jersey Citi-
zens on the Outcome of the Election.

ARLINGTON, N. j., October 27.-
Whether James Abbott of Laurel ave-
nue., Arlington, an ardent Bryan advo.
cate, or John Clarkson, an equally en-
thusiastic supporter of Mckinley, will
dine off the largest and latest crow that
can be shot in the North Arlington
woods, will be determined by the result
of the election.
Last night, in an argument held in the
Arlington Hotel, Mr.. Clarkson challeng-
ed Mr.. Abbott to make such wager,
and to his surprise was instantly taken
up. The wager was put in writing to
make it more binding
The conditions provide that Abram
Cottrell, local marksman, shoot the
crow himself Immediately after the re-
suit of the election is known and that it
shall be cooked by Anthony Shuler,
proprietor of the hotel within twelve
hours thereafter and eaten by the loser.

A SOFT HEARTED BURGLAR.
Bis Charity Worked His Own Undo.
ing.

ing.
The police of Asbury Park, N. Y. have
in custody the oldest, softest-hearted
burglar on record. He is a well-educat.
ed negro who gives his name as Edward
Turner. Ear,y last Thurs day morning a
negro broke into the Fourth avenue resi-
dence of Mrs. Vail, 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 but some flour and potatoes.
What" asked the burglar, "no tea.
no coffee, no lard or butter?"
mo, nothing" said Mrs. Vail.
The negro took his hand from Mrs.
Wallis throat and told her that the next
afternoon man would come there with
box of groceries.
I'm the box" said the burglar, "vou
will 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 all the same and
the milkman found it on the porch next
morning. The box ultimately found its
way into the hands Of Chief of Police
Smith. In it he found one pound of lard
TWO pounds OF sugar, two ounces of tea,
quarter of apound of butter, one pound
OF coffee and yeast cake. There was
also cabinet picture of white man.
with the name &C. E. Mantun'' written
upon the back.
Besides these things there was note.
which read as follows:
Madame-To prove that will keep
my word, here are the things you want.
&C. E. M"
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 MAJ shall, he finally admitted that he
had sent the groceries to her house. At
ter hearing before Justice Borden.
Turner was sent to Freehold Jail.

coffee, flat irons ard condensed milk on

University, ought to have made such a
proceeding impossible. Political propa-
ganda have no place on a distinctively

treated with honesty and fairness. That

FOR A NEW NO. |.
Board Of Finance to Provide
$50, 600 for the Finest
School Building in
the State.

Next spring what remains of old Public
School No. l. in York street, win be torn
down and a modern building erected in its
stead. This interesting piece of informa-
tion cropped out at last nights meeting
Of the Board of Aldermen
Alderman Moran at the last meeting
reported that the remaining section of the
building is in a deplorable condition, and,
on behalf of down town residents, he ask
ed that the Board of Finance take some
action looking to the erection of a new
building. Last night Mr. Moran asked
President Simpson if he had introduced
the new school question in the Board
of Finance. Mr.. Simpson said he had
not spoken to his colleagues in that
Board of the action of the Aldermen be-
cause the Boards of Finance and Educa-
ton had already conferred on the sub
ject and decided to build a new school
on the site of old No l.
If it is possible lot is to be purchased
adjoining the present site in order that
a much larger building than old No. /
may be erected. There is remaining in
the school account about $23, 600. The
plan OF the Finance Board is to advance
to the Board of Education as soon as
practicable, about $e0 000 of the school
fund of 1897. This will create a fund OF
about $4,000, and it is proposed to erect
the finest schoolhouse in the State with
this sum.
The financial part of the programme is
to be arranged some time next month
The Street and Water Commissioners will
then adopt plans which have been ap-
proved by the Board of Education and
as soon thereafter as possible bids for the
new building will be invited. 1t is the
desire of everyone interested, President
Simpson said, to have everything In readi-
ness so that ground may be broken as
early in the spring as the weather will
permit.
