Burglars at MedfOrd.

The residence of Henry P. Thorn, al
Medford, was broken into on Tuesday
evening. This is the second time within
two years that this house has been visited
by burglars and the actions of the last lot
are similar to those who first entered.
Last Tuesday, the window frame was
cut so that the fastening could be moved.
The burglars then entered and ransack ed
everything. The drawers in the side
board were taken out and overturned.
The thieves were evidently after money
but did not get any, although there was
$3.50 in different places in the room. Mrs.
Thorn had been to the city in the after
noon and had thrown her sealskin sack
on chair. The pockets were turned in
side out, but the coat was not taken.
In front of the window through which
the house was entered were some flowers
in pots, which the burglars carried into
the shed. When the house was entered
before, it was in the spring time and the
flowers were carefully removed from the
house and put in warm corner out doors.
These actions lead to the suspicion that
both burglaries were the work of the same
persons.

At least one of the robberies that has
occurred in Mount Holly during the past
month has been solved. The residence OF
Miss Kate Rhees, on Garden street, has
been empty for some time. On one side
Is vacant house, on the other a large
yard, so that entrance might easily be eff
fected from the rear. without being
noticed. The neighbors opposite, how
ever. suspicioned that they saw or heard
persons in the place. An investigation
was made and it was discovered that
somebody had entered the house and
turned things upside down.
The police were notified, but their eff
forts failed to disclose the mlscreants. On
Wednesday, officer Denness, while stand
ing near the ruins of the carpet mill,
heard conversation that set him think
ing. He at once worked up some clues
which the talk furnished, the result being
a complaint against Joseph Worth, Chalk
ley Borden and Spider" Brown. War
rants were issued but the young men had
gained knowledge of what was going on.
They boarded the oyster freight train that
goes through here at o'clock in the
afternoon and went to PHILADELPHIA.
The story of one of them is that they
went to the city and then back to Cam
den, where they slept in a car. The
weather was too cold to tramp around, 80
they came back TO Mount Holly the next
morning. Officer Denness was contem-
plating visit to Camden for the men,
when he learned that they we're home, SO
about noon Borden was taken to Jail and
the other two soon followed him.
There was conclusive evidence that
some of the goods stolen from the Rhees
house had been seen on these men. and
while hunting for more testimony, the
policeman struck another clue in the
shape of some boys aged about Is years
who confessed that they broke into
the house through a back window
and took revolver, watch, oil stove, mai
puller, pair of scissors, camera and SONS
other things. They sold the oil stove
scissors and camera, and lost the watch
and revolver. These boys were giver
into the custody of their parents to b,
produced when wanted.

The Coming Mission at the Sacred
Heart Church


The mission by the Paulist Fathers
from New York will begin Sunday. Jan
uary I'd, in the Sacred Heart Church.
One OF the missionary fathers will give
the opening sermon at High Mass at 10
O'Clock A. M. Sermons will be preached
each morning and evening during the
week on living, practical subjects, such as
are calculated to have an important in
huence on our lives, both as good Chris.
tlans and upright and patriotic citizens.
The increase of religious Diety, fervor
and zeal, and the fostering of true devo-
ton to God and country, are the sacred
ends most earnestly sought by the mis-
sionary fathers. Popular and kindly ex-
position OF religious doctrines, free from
all controversy and abuse, will be given.
and the salntary influence for good OF
those doctrines faithfully carried out on
individual and social life will be plainly
set forth.
The painful absence of reality in the
exercise OF religious duties by many nom
NAL Catholics and the deplorsble discor.
dance between their lives and the teach.
ings OF the Church, tend to repel instead
of invite non-Catholic brethren, and NOT
unfreQuently cause unfavorable comments
on the Catholic church
Misconceptions of Catholic doctrines
too frequently engendered by the disedi-
flying conduct of nominal Catholics, some
times prove barrier to that mutual good
feeling that ought to prevail among mem
bers of the various Christian organizations
and indeed among all people.
Harmony among Christians in gen eral,
and the unification of Christian energies
In the battle against unbelief, intemper-
ance, avarice, dishonesty, selfishness, ETC.,
will make for the good of religion and the
stability of social order. The pastor of
the Sacred Heart Church extends a most
cordial invitation to on-Catholics as well
as Catholics to attend all the lectures and
services during the mission. Admission
free warm welcome to all.

About half-past nine O'Clock on Thurs.
day night there was loud report which
startled the residents in the close neigh
borhood of the house owned by Edward
P. Holeman just below the post-office.
The noise was soon followed by the fire
alarm, but there was no need Of the SER
vices of the fire department.
The noise was caused by an explosion
of gunpowder in the house mentioned.
The occupants are Thomas Shinn and
family. Walter, son, was cleaning a
revolver, and in extracting a bullet the
weapon was discharged In the open bu-
reau drawer oyer which he held the pis-
toll, were paper containing a pound of
powder, and a flask with a quarter of a
pound of the same ex plosive The sparks
from the revolver ignited the paper and
there was loud explosion.
The shock was great The furniture in
the room was set afire In several places.
the glass in the windows of that room and
the bath room adjoining were completely
shattered and the roof was raised several
inches and the ceiling cracked in many
places.
The burning powder was thrown quite
distance and struck the mother of the
boy, igniting her clothing and burning
her on the arm and face, and singeing her
hair. Young Shinn Jared the worst. His
clothing was burned and the flames pene-
trated to his arms and breast, leaving
painful wounds. The shock to his ner-
vous system was severe and he was delir-
ious for some time.
He is not very strong, having but re-

The shed in the rear of the house occu-
pied by Frank Newcombe, 3l2 York St.,
was considerably damaged by fire of
unknown origin on Wednesday night.
Nearly all of the furniture in the room
was also destroyed. The fremen respond
ed promptly and made short work of the
blaze, in fact the water poured into the
building did as much damage as the
flames, but it was necessary in order to
prevent the flames spreading to adjacent
properties.

The congregation Of Broad street NJ. E.
Church has requested the return of Rev.

Frank Dubell had miraculous escape
from serious injury at the York street fire
on Wednesday night. In walking on the
roof of the burning building he slipped
and fell to the ground distance of fully
fifteen feet, landing on his head. He was
given medical attention at once and an ex-
animation diclosed the fact that no bones
we're broken, and the next day he was
about again as usual.

The Wind Moved it.

Since the sale of the Jobstown hotel
property, there has been fear on the
part of certain person that somebody
would steal the house or some of it's con-
tents. So one of those who had such an
idea went to a resident of the quite village
and asked him to keep an eye on the
place, and if he had an idea that any
thing was to lie moved to send word post
haste in order that legal proceedings
might be taken,
The party who was requested to do the
watching thought he saw a chance to have
some fun, so he consulted an acouaint-
ance and suggested that message be sent
to the effect that some of the goods were
about to be taken from the house.
The other fellow did not exactly ap-
prove of cold blooded lie, SO he suggest
ed sending message like this: "Wind-
mill will move tomorrow" This was
done and next morning Sheriff Fleetwood
was given papers and ordered to 90 out
and stop that wind mill. He went. The
mill was there, whirling around merrily
in response to the attacks of the wind.
The two conspirators were present
The Sheriff surveyed the scene and f.
nally remarked that he thought the
windmill was to be moved to-day. +"
"Well," said one of the fellows, Sits being
moved, amt it." The Sheriff smiled in
good-natured way and came home.
