FALSE PRETENSES CHARGED.
Bridgeton Man Committed to Salem Jail
Saturday.


Bridgeton Man Committed to Salem Jail
saturday.
Silas R. Barnes, OF this city, had hear
ing before Justice Smith, in Salem, Sat-
urday, charged with obtaining money
under false pretenses and was held under
5000 bail for his appearance at the mex
term of court.
1t is claimed that Barnes represented
himself as an agent for the Camden in
stallment house of Gateley & Hurley, and
according to the testimony, is alleged to
have swindled poor working people,
under the pretense of selling them furni-
ture, ETC., on the instalment plan, in each
case exacting an advance payment OF
from two to five dollars, according to
circumstances.
His victims would wait for the arrival
of the goods that they had ordered, but
they would fail to materialize and they
found themselves out of pocket to the
extent of the advanced payment.
Several witnesses testified to having
paid Barnes money on account of goods
that they never received, and represen.
tative from the installment house de-
| clared that he had never been in their
emplay. 1t was also brought out at the
| hearing that he had been arrested here op
a similar charge.
There are several persons in this CITY
who would like to have little settlement
| with Barnes.

A HABEAs CORPUS.
The Oronoken Association VIII Bring Suit
Against the County for
Damages

The case Of the oyster tongers who have
been working on the creeks and who
have been repeatedly arrested, have taken
new turn. Waving hearings, more
bail, habeas corpus proceedings and
Sheriff's posse have been interjected into
the case.
The two Crowels were Monday given
a hearing before Justice Powell, on two
new charges each. Their counsel, John
s. Mitchell appeared and waived hear
ing, and the men were put under $1,000
more bail on each charge, and are still in
Jail.
Assemblyman Eugene Cole, of Cape
May, counsel for the Tongers' Associa
ton, came over from Cape May yester-
day and with Mr.. Mitchell, started pro-
ceedings looking to have the Crowells
taken from Jail on habeas corpus pro-
ceedings. Judge Hoagland signed an
order commanding Sheriff Cheesman to
bring the Crowells before him this after
noon, when the habeas corpus argument
will be made. 1t is supposed that the
tongers counsel will put up the plea that
the bail is excessive.
The Oronoken Creek Company has
taken new tack. James s. Ware, coun-
sci for the company served notice on
Sheriff Cheesman demanding that he go
upon the creeks and disperse the working
tongers by proclaiming the riot act. This
notice was served several days ago. The
Sheriff has sent deputies down there upon
previous occasions to learn something of
the situation, but it was not found neces-
sary to make any proclamation.
1t is claimed now that the tongers are
working at night, and representatives of
the Company declare that suit will be
brought against the county for damages.
The Sheriff is obliged, in order to save
the county, to take every possible pre-
caution to protect the county, and last
night he quietly sent Constable Frank
Lore ard John Denn down to the creeks
as special Deputy Sheriffs. These Of
ficers will go among the men without
any display of authority or fuss and
feathers, and warn the men that they are
likely to cause serious trouble, and ad
! wise them to hold off until the Courts
take up the matter and settle the disputed
| questions.

any season. but perhaps more generally
needed when the languid, exhausted feel

sluggish and the need of a tonic and alter

fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will
act more surely in counteracting and
freeing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, Indigestion, Consti-

can sway the emotions o. a crowd. The

who are popular leaders commonly

gain was closed, the native walked out
with the dress il a bundle under his
arm and I followed him.
'It isn't any business of mine" |

and was surprised to see you let
the eggs go for the dress"

How many eggs did you have?"

How many dozen?"
Dunno. Can't count"
That's where you miss the advan-

you might have got two dresses for
those EGGS"
But l didn't want two dresses, mis-
ter he argued.
PERHAPS not, but that was no rea-
son why you should have paid two
prices for one. The merchant got the
advantage of you because of his educa-

ly grew quite fond Of her, in a fatherly
sort of way, and looked forward to ar
ranging a suitable marriage for her as
soon as Jack should be off his mind.
In the meantime he told her all about
his plans for Jack, and talked so freely
himself on his pet project that he never
noticed how she dropped into silence as
soon as he alluded to it, especially as
her silence evidently did not rise from
any lack of interest. She was staying
at boarding house, and but for Nellie's
kindness would have had but a dull
time of it.
The major observed, with approval
that Jack, too, was kind to her: for
he thought it an excellent sign that he
should wish to please Miss BIoxham by
little attentions to her friend. On the
whole, he was satisfied with the way
things were going-or so he told him
self-and he could not understand why
he found a hitherto unknown difficulty
in sounding Miss Bloxhan on the sub
iect, and gently preparing the way for
Jacks suit
Of course, Jack was in love with her:
how could he fail to be, knowing her
so we'll as he now did? Why, even he,
the major, was more than half in love
with her himself, as he owned, with a
sigh to his cigar; and he was old en-
ough to know the folly Of it; how, then,
should a young fellow like Jack es-

time was needed now-and very little
more of his judicious management-to

clusion, and transform Miss Nellie Blox-

Medical LeXiSIafiON.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
The matter intrusted in my hands is one
of so serious a character that we must not
fail to look at it from all sides. and that is
concerning the medical practice-act bill
now pending. 1t is the duty of all citizens
to protect each other but when the protec-
ton becomes so narrow that it is burden
some, deprives of our just liberties.
then it ceases to be protection, but is in
fact tyranny. Indeed, all that the people
need TO be protected in is against the many
unnecessary operations and poisonous
drugs and overdoses of the same; but such
protection this bill does not provide. 1t
simply provides for certain systems over
others, and this is nothing more nor less
than class Hesitation which is at all times
unlawful. Would it not be just as wise to
have an examining board for the patients.
first, to be examined and then turned over
to q certain physician for a certain cure?
We wish TO be law-abidng citizens but we
desire the right to say what doctor want
in the hour Of sickness. well as the right
to vote the ticket we please in the sphere of
politics There is no greater jealousy than
among medical men of different schools,
and the moment that any one or any num-
Der are protected by special act. they will
use their authority. Some physicians now
are so independent as TO refuse a call unless
paid in advance. and thus the poor sufferer
must go uncared for: not even old kind
hearted grandmother may administer her
remedies lest she be liable TO a fine. Is that
humane? Is that protecting the people?
Under this bill fine could be imposed upon
our Lord should he come TO earth and heal
as He once did, If he would not submit to
the examiners idea or attend a college
recommended by them. No one may follow
the example of the good samaritan. in
spite of the Savior saying, Go and do thou
likewise" If any one will do this in carry
ing out holy writ, he or she will be liable
to g. fine. Yet IL is permitted to all men
to do as they understand the holy word.
Shah their privileges be abridged here?
Shall the fourteenth amendment of the
Constitution of the United States be vio-
lated by an act passed by the Legislature?
Shall we have class legislation? Shall we
give q certain class or classes a monopoly?
Are our people not wise enough to say
who shall bind up their wounds, cure their
pains or cut off their arms? rs ii not
awful" many of these licensed men say
that there is cure for cancer?' Yet
they will go and cut a face into separate
parts. while the irregular physician holds
ND with pride actual cancers taken from
bodies of men and women who can be pro-
duced IN person as living and healthy.
Why then should such he set aside. whether
they travel or not. whether they advertise
or not. Let each man and each school
and each system run it's own course.

CONGRESS THIS WEEK.
One Feature WIFE Be the Counting of
the Electoral Vote.

WASHINGTON, Feb. If Senator Nor
gan pursues his present plan he will move
to take up the Nicaragua canal bill dur
ing the morning hour Monday. He expects
the motion to be antagonized, and in that
event will secure a vote which will, he
thinks, demonstrate the voting strength of
the canal bill. He expects the vote to be
largely in the majority, but whatever the
result. he probably will announce his
abandonment of the bill for the present
session on account of the determined OBJ
struction TO its passage, while at the same
time he will declare his purpose to press
the measure with more determination than
ever at the next session. The withdrawal
of the Nicaragua bill from its present
place at the head of the calendar will leave
the way open for taking up other measures
pressing for consideration. The diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill has already
been reported. and there will be an effort
TO secure attention to it Monday The APP
propriations committee expect to have the
Indian and agricultural bills reported by
Wednesday, and will ask for early con-
sideraton. Senator Thurston will seek the
first opportunity to conclude his speech on
the Pacific railroad resolutions; Senator
Morrill, has given notice of his intention to
advance the bill 10 prohibit the sale of
liquor in the Capitol, and Senator Sherman
w
to go into executive session early Monday
for the purpose of considering the general
arbitration treaty with Great Britain. AS
soon s these matters will permit there will
be an effort to proceed with the bank
ruptcy bill, and it is not expected that
there will be any avowed opposition to
consideration. The proceedings relative
the arbitration treaty will be held in ex-
ecutive session, and will be long and ami
mated. Wednesday the Senate will join
with the House to see the count of the
electoral vote. Senator Lodge hopes to get
up the conference report the mmigra-
ton bill as soon as the House acts upon it,
which he thinks will be done the lattep-part
of the present week
The feature of the week in the House
will be the ceremonies on Wednesday, on
the occasion of the counting of the electoral
vote and the formal PRONUNCIATION of the
election of Mckinley and Hobart by the
Vice-PreSident of the United States 1t is
Il state occasion, but of very formal
character. Unless the Notifications or sun
dry civil bill is reported the House will
have appropriation bill to consider this
week. and most of the time will be devoted
to such bills as the various committees may
present and the conference reports. There
are three contested election cases-Beattie
VS.. Price, from Louisiana; Hopkins VS..
Kendrick. from Kentucky, and Bennoit VS..
Boatner-whch probably will be decided.
In each case the majority report favors
the sitting member a Democrat, and little
time Will be consumed in disposing of them.
