Cases Heard Before Justices. They are

The Justices Of Peace are beginning to
get busy early this spring. Monday
was pretty busy day among evil doers
OF different phases of crime.
Theodore Sutton residing. down by the
OIL cloth works was brought before
Esquire Joel F. Pierce yesterday Con.
stable Harry r. Dare. Sutton was
charged with assault and battery on John
Surran. He threatened to carve him and
cut out his liver. The Squire asked bail
1or MS appearance at Court, but Sutton
1alled to produce it and was sent to Jail to
see what the Grand Jury will do with
him for annihilistic proceedings.
Walter DePugh faced Justice Isaac T.
Nichols Monday with serious charge
hanging over his head, made by woman.
DePugh was defended by the young at
torney, James Potter. This was Pot
ter's first case and he won it DePuoh
was discharged.
Harry Sible, who had lust escaped the
meshes OF the law Saturday night, before
the Mayor, was arrested by Constable
Dare on warrant issued from Justice
Plerce's office, by Israel Sible, who open.
~ charged Harry with the theft of five
pictures. After listening to the some-
wnat mixed English Hebrew language,
the Squire required Harry to produce
bail for Court. Bail was furnished for
his appearance if wanted at the Nav term
of Court.
The Braunsteins and Goldsbergs bobbed
up serenely again. Elias, Jacob and
Israel Braunstein were apprehended on a
warrant by Constable Dare, charging
them specifically with assault and battery
on the Goldsbergs, father and son. The
men are all banana peddlers3 who stand
and yell out their fruit Saturday night on
MGear's corner. 1t is a chilly day or
night when they fail to connect and settle
matters in Fitzsimmons- Corbett style.
Saturday night last was no exception and
about eleven O'Clock they had their little
set-to. In consequence, the Colds
berg's swore out a warrant against
the Braunsteins for assault and battery
and the case was aired in Squire Nichols,
Court this morning.

him to decline, but Mr.. Krauter himself
voted for Mr.. stevenson. 1t was mere
matter of ward pride, and was in no.
wise contest, the third being among the
first to have the nomination of Mr..
Stevenson made unanimous.
Messrs. Appelgate and Stevenson then
appeared before the convention and ac-
copied the nomination. They were ap-
Issaaded and cheered, and while neither
attempted to make speeches, all they
said seemed to please those present.
The convention then adjourned, and
some considerable time was spent in con-
graduating the candidates and assuring
them OF earnest support.
The Candidates.
1t is scarcely necessary to say anything
OF the candidates. Both have lived here
al! their lives, and are publicly and
widely known.
1t can he said with no fear of coltradic-
ton that e. Milford Appellate has made
good, efficient, honest, painstaking
Mayor. There has been no suspicion OF
scandal or criticism of any kind concern
ing his administration. He has been ac-
tive and Jealous, and never turned from
opportunity to do good for the city. He
has the expe rience of his first term, con-
sequently standing better fitted for the
term, which the people, one week from
to morrow, will call him.
Charles III. Stevenson
Is such man as will represent well
the interest of the whole people in any
position he is placed. In Council, and as
It's President, he would be credit to the
town. He represents property interests
ne is engaged in important work OF
manufacture; he is a progressive, level
headed and reliable man. There will be
no hesitation in electing Mr.. Stevenson
1t Will be pleasure for people generally
to support him.

UNDER BAIL FOR COURT,

When Young Man Asked for His WAGES
He was Thrown From the Store.
There was quite commotion on South
Laurel street Saturday night, about seven
O'Clock. 1t was all caused by a couple OF
young Israelites, who couldn't agree.
The names of the young fellows were
Harry and Israel Siddel. 1t seems that
Harry worked for Israel who keeps a
picture store on South Laurel street, and
when Harry asked for his pay for selling
pictures, Israel refused to give it to him.
and finally took hold of him and threw
him out of the store and called for an
officer.
Officer Woodruff grabbed both of them.
and waltzed them off to the lookup. A
little while after Mayor Appellate gave
them a hearing. When they appeared
before His Honor, Harry presented a
dilapidated appearance, bis coat being
torn in two by Israel. He told his story
and produced proof of his assertions.
Both of them wanted to tell how the
thing happened, but had to be ouieted by
the Mayor.
Israel was held in one hundred dollars
bail for Court, and Harry was allowed to
depart.

THE CHANGE MADE.
The New Steward of the Aims House in
Charge.

The New Steward of the Aims House in
Charge.
Tuesday the management of the
County Aims House was transferred
from William Ogden, who has made a
capable official, to BENZ. F. Roray, who
was recently elected to succeed him.
The change was made in the presence
OF the Trustees of the House. There
were many who were sorry to see Mr..
Ogden leave the place, but his affliction
was such as to make him unfit for the
exacting duties. 1t can be said, however.
that before he was stricken blind, he was
the peer of any man who has held the
position.
In Mr.. Roray the county has a good
man, and he will be good official. The
institution is in splendi condition, and
If possible Mr.. Roray will still further
try and Improve it. In few days he
will be settled away and ready to take
hold of things with vim. For the pre-
sent, David Ogden will remain at the in
stitution as foreman.

sprang from ner chair, and in some
way upset lamp. The bowl of the
lamp was broken, and the Oil spilling
was soon fired, and the room was in a
blaze. In the confusion another lamp
was upset, which added to the flames.
Nelghbors hurried in, and did every
thing possible to extinguish the flames,
while Thomas Donaghay ran to the fire
alarm box. at the corner of Walnut and
Commerce streets, and pulled down the
Key. Something was wrong with the
wires, and for the first time since the
system has been used here, it refused 20
sound the bells.
In the meantime the neighbors of Mrs.
Bowen succeeded in extinguishing the
fire, but not before the room had been
badly damaged. the carpets and curtains
burned, and Mrs. Bowen was seriously
burned about the head and face.

little scrimmage served to draw the

considerable button. holing was the
result.
For Freeholder, the present encum-
bent, Joseph T. White and Theodore B,

A Little Grave.

Dark are the mounds where the snow blast is
sweeping,
Wild is the cry of the wind on its flight,
Cold is the drift the north wind is heapng
Over my little one, alone in the night
Alone in the night the mother is weeping,
For out of her sight short time ago,
Angushed with sorrow her watch she is keeping.
Far would she follow, through storm and through
snow.
Nay, tender mother, have done with your weeping.
Do not rebel that God took your child
Angels they guard her, no one can harm her.
Although the north winds blow over the wild.

Inc Republicans of the city in primary
meetings Thursday afternoon and last
evening, settled upou the candidates for
the spring tickets, and thus practically
settled upon the men who viii be CHOSEN
to fill the local offices.
There was large vote of the party out
desp1te the fact there were no general
contests, the Republicans seeming anx
lous to be heard just at this time as they
stand upon the eve of a Republican ad-
mlnistratlon, confident of return of
prosperity and success.
The only trouble experienced was in
organizing the primaries. The hours
were from five until eight and there
seems to be more or less trouble in getting
good men to act as officers of the meet
lngs for SO long time. But after some
trouble the various meetings were or
ganlzed, and the voting proceeded. The
result OF the voting was in every way
satisfactory to the great number of people.
