IN THE MAYORS COURT.
Several Cases Before the Chief Executive
Tuesday.

Several Cases Before the Chief Executive
Tuesday.
Mayor Appelgate had busy day on
Tuesday, his officers presenting quite a
number of cases before him.
In the morning he disposed of couple
of drunks, and just after dinner he looked
after couple of females. They were not
strangers to the Mayor, however, their
names appearing all over his docket.
They were Mrs. Annie Dolan and Miss
Fannie Dolan, her somewhat pretty and
wayward daughter.
They appeared before the Mayor,
charged with maintaining a disorderly
house on Irving avenue. Mrs. Dolan
was greatly overcome by the position in
which she was placed, and tainted several
times. In fact Mrs. Dolan always faints
when she is arrested, and she has been
arrested good many times, and usually
upon the same charge. Fannie never
faints. She elevates her nose consider
ably and is real saucy, almost bordering
upon impudence.
When the case had been heard by the
Mayor, the two women were sent over to
Jail in default of bail. Officer Garrison
gallantly escorted the ladies to the Jail,
furnishing closed coupe for their trans
portation.
When the Court House was reached
Mrs. Dolan tainted some more, and Jail
Warden Watkins tenderly and gracefully
carried her within. The January term
Grand Jury will investigate the Dolans.
Later William Fowler was sent to Jail
for four days, in default of $500 fine and
costs for one drunk.
Benz. Kennedy enjoyed good old
fashioned drunk last Saturday. He was
gathered in Tuesday, and that night be-
gan four days Jail, he lacking the price
of Jolly, good drunk.

Left the City.

Miss Julia Nichols, has left Rridgeton
permanently, and will make her home in
Chicago with relatives. The handsome
mansion property on East avenue will be
put in the market, and sold if possible at
private sale. If the estate is not disposed
of by May, it will probably be sold at
public sale. This is one of the most
superb homes of Bridgeton, or in fact, in
South Jersey.
In the removal Of Miss Nichols from
this city, Bridgeton loses one of its most
estimable women, and charity one of its
most earnest and effective assistants.

WHO ARE THEY 2
The People of This County Have Been Shin
ing Marks to a Gang of Thieves.

The People of This County Have Been Shin
ing Marks to Gang of Thieves.
For year or more the people OF this
county, especially the farmers, have been
subjects for gang of organized thieves.
Through the country the thieves have
stolen horses, carriages, harness, etc.,
while some of the country villages have
suffered by stores being broken into and
robbed of pretty much everything of
saleabe nature.
The discovery of den of Russians at
Canton, near Baltimore, Md, has led to
very important disclosures. Many arti-
cles stolen from this vicinity were found
in the Russians den and have been identi-
fed. Clothing, boots and shoes and other
goods stolen from merchant Wentzell, at
Elmer, have been identified.
In the lot of goods found, there were
many cloaks, supposed to have been
stolen from the cloak factory at Carmel.
Many rugs We're found. These unques-
tionably came from the rug factory at
Vineland which was robbed some time
ago.
Horses have been found down there
which are supposed to have been stolen
from this county. Smith, the Fairton
liveryman lost horse and wagon. Joel
Fox, at Friendship had horse and car
riage stolen from him; Jacob Hepner lost
a horse aud carriage short time ago.
There have been other losses of horses
and carriages.
The men in whose possession these
goods We're found are not the ones who
did the stealing. They were simply in
league with the thieves and had the
goods in their possession to dispose Of.
There is an organized gang of thieves in
this and Salem counties who do the steal
ing and then get them over, to Maryland
where these Russian thieves take them
and peddle them about the country dis
posing of them for what they will bring.
Who are the thieves that are operating?
There may be clue to them and they
will yet probably be brought before the
Courts for their just deserts.

Extra Good!
Extra Quality!
Extra Sizes !

All made to our special order of the
finest wool. That is saying lot, but the
wear tells the tale. They will outwear
a dozen pair of cheap auction blankets.
Another point of merit, is that the sizes
are marked in inches, instead of the de-
ceiving 1914, 11-4 and 1874. So you know
exactly what size you are buying.

The Farmers For Free Silver.

We are for free silver because ii

power ever since the war, and under
It's rule the tOilers, the workers, the
producers are gradually being forced
down To the condition of serfs and
slaves; why ! that they may be made
to produce wheat, corn, beef, pork,
lard, eggs, butter and all other com

themselves and trade on for their
own prosperity. Traders produce

of the producers. If produce is
cheap The traders can put it upon
the market in competition with the
products OF serf labor in Russia, and
TO enable them to do it our own pro-
ducers must be forced down INTO
poverty and sertdom also. As they
cannot produce cheaply enough IN
any other way silver was demone-

This is why Mr.. Bryan said to the
