$50 TAKEN WITH SOME PRIVATE
PAPERS USEFUL ONLY TO
FREIGHT AGENT BENNETT.
Some time between Thursday night
and Friday morning burglars broke
open the Central Railroad freight sta
tion. located on Hudson street, Free
hold, by prying open the side door
with rail pin and breaking the lock
The burglary was discovered py
Agent S. L.. Bennett and Assistant u.
b. Little about o'clock. The small
side door was found open and lnslc e
the Office everything was covered
with plaster Paris, which had Deen
blown in patches even upon tne
wooden ceiling, and had settled in
the desk drawers. All except the
outside plate of the door and the COM
bination was found blown to pieces.
On the floor in front of the safe lay
the combination knob, bent and bat
tered, and where the combination had
been in the door was a hole 0x1O
inches with it's edges bent outward,
giving the robbers ample opportunity
to reach their hands in behind the
steel plate which held the lock, to
slip back the bolts. The safe door
was partly open and the small iron
box which had contained the cash,
was gone. In the Office lay the rail
pin and a common carpenters chisel
and brace was found between two
cars that stood on the track in froot
of the station. Subsequently the
brace aud chisel were identified as
belonging to the Rue Bros. and had
been stolen from the house being
built by them for Mrs. W. K. Wells.
That morning they had found their
tool chest broken open and the above
implements missing. The burglars
had evidently used the brace to drill
a small hole above the combination,
and in this hole had inserted some
high explosive, after which they had
easy work. They had muffied the
door to beaded the sound by wrap
ping the door with bags found in the
main portion of the station.
Freight Agent Bennett, after the
discovery of the robbery, fastened up
The door and notified the Central
Railroad officials at Jersey City.
A thorough examination of the safe
was made the same day and a quanti-
ty of Mr. Benefits private papers
were found missing with the money
book. which contained from $50 to $25
in cash and stamps. The explosion
also wrecked the Office lamp which
was found on the floor. The lamp
shade and chimney were found in the
station.
Until the Office was cleared up Mr..
Bennett used the Office of Lockwood
& Weeks coal yard.
Both Cornelius NJ Barkalow and
Mrs. G. H Clayton, who reside oppo-
site, say they heard the explosion,
which occurred about 2 o'clock Fri
day morning, but thought it some
one firing off a revolver and gave the
matter no attention, not thinking of
burglars.
The safe belonged to Mr.. Bennett
and he says if the parties will return
his private papers he will be much
obliged to them.
There is no clue to the burglars.
but it is thought they are the same
parties who cracked the safe in Sher-
mans store at Colts Neck about a
we elk previous.

Mr., Sampson, who went in last sum-
mer with less than five hundred dollars,
has nearly one hundred pounds OF gold,

ANOTHER EDISON DISCOVERY.
A New Metal Which Will RsvoIutionizs

that Thomas A. Edison has accidentally
discovered what he believes to be new
metal which viii do away with the slow
and costly process Of making malleable
iron. Exhaustive experiments will be
made, and il they are successful il is
promised full details will be given to
the public. 1t is claimed that after lot
Of iron had been run through a mag
netic ore separating mill the ''pigs" we're
taken from the blast furnace an usual to

question proved refractory, for the pigs
resisted all efforts Of the men with heavy
sledges to break them. The fact was
submitted to chemists and the theory
was formed that there was some hitherto
unknown substance in the iron used and
this is believed to be new metal.

Butte, Mont, Jan. IL. Patrick A.Lar-
gey, president OF the State Savings Bank
and one OF the best known citizens OF
Butte. was shot and killed in the bank
building about one O'Clock this after
noon by James ]. Riley.
Riley entered the bank five or ten
minutes before committing the bloody
act. He called Largey to the cashiers
window and the two talked for five min
utes or more. They were converslng in
ordinary tones and there was nothing 10
indicate that their talk was otherwise
than friendly. Suddenly Riley drew 9
gun and shot through the window at
Largey. The bullet struck the latter in
the left arm and shattered the bone.
Largey stopped down and had he con-
tinued in that position he might have es-
capped with his life, as be was protected
by the counter. However, he arose part
