EINELAND, n. j., Feb. 1.-Israel Lerner,
who keeps dry goods store and lives at
the corner of Sth and Lands aves., for
some reason seems to have great many
enemies. For several years Mr.. Lerner's
house at night has been surrounded by
masked men who bombarded the building
with bricks, stones and clubs, and when
he would 60 out and try to arrest them,
they would disappear as if by magic.
Occasionally his house has been made a
target for revolvers. Bricks have been
hurled through his windows, and last
Thursday night, while Lerner was at the
mayors office lodging complaint against
one whom he suspected, the gang was
around his house and nearly threw his
wife into Mysteries by throwing a large
stick of wood through the window. Mr..
Lerner has threatened to shoot his tor
menters, but they always manage to
elude him when he gets on the aggressive.
The person whom he suspected was
arrested and carried before Mayor Lord,
but, for lack of evidence, he was dis
charged.

ing in at the windows at the residence of

covered a face peeping in at the back
window. In few minutes the mans
eye was at another window. Opening
the door, Mrs. Troupy ordered the man
from the yard, saying she would fill him
with lead. She recognized her intruder
as George" a colored cart driver, and
Constable Matthias arrested the man,
who pleaded with the plucky housekeeper
to release him which she did, after he
had promised that he would not bother
her in the future.

CAPE MAY COURT House, Feb. 3-The
local board of health, acting in con-

ordered the public schools closed for the
present. This action arises from the
existence of two cases of scarlet fever in
the town, and while both of the patients
are thought to be convalescent, it is the
judgment of the authorities that ian
ounce of prevention is worth a pound of
cure" Although there seems to be no
present danger of a general epidemic, the
public sentiment of the locality is
thoroughly in accord with the action of
the health officers.
