--Convicted of Larceny.

Abraham Strahl, an enterprising He
brew, was tried in the General Sessions
Court yesterday on an Indictment fer
grand larceny. Strahl has been the owner
Of five Mouor stores in various parts of
the city at different times According to
the testimony given yesterday he had an
ingenious method OF stocking his different
stores. When he gor into trouble in clre
place ON account OF negiecting to pay his
bills he moved his stock to another place,
and then his creditors were kept busy
hunting for him
The specific charge on which he was
tried was stealing the stock from his store
at No. PSI Grand street, upon which Con-
stable Livingston had made a levy to sat
Wholesale liquor dealer in Philadelphia.
The constable made the levy ON Decem-
Der g. 1897, and took an inventory He
permitted Stra!hl to continue in the store
on condition that he would not sell or
remove any of the goods When the con-
stable went to make the sale he found the
store vacated and the stock all removed.
Constable Livingston made inquiry and
learned from Mrs. Lizzie Kittrick, the
owner of the building, that the stock had
clock and midnight, and that Strahl SUI
perintended the removal On further IN
quiry the constable learned that Strahl
had opened a new saloon at No. 529 New
ark avenue.
In his defence Strahl presented a bill
of sale of his stock to Israel Shlpman,
dated two days before Constable Living
ston made the levy. The defendant swore
that he knew nothing about the suit
against him when he sold the goods. The

ESSAYS WILL BE READ.
High School Commencement
Will Be on the Good Old
Plan, This Year.


At a meeting of the High School Com
mittee of the Board of Education, yester-
day. 1t was decided that there should be
no departure this year from the pld-time
routine of the commencement exercises.
The pupils of the graduating classes were
duly notified, and those who expect to
win the honors are already beginning
work upon their essays.
OF course it Is not known definitely yet
who the winners of the class honors are.
The May marks may make a great diff
ference in the standing of the graduates.
Then, there are two classes graduating,
the January and June class, and the vale
dictorian will be the pupil of the highest
standing in the two classes. Although
nothing is certainly known, it is generally
accepted among the members of the June
graduating class that Miss Elizabeth
Briggs will receive the valedictory honor.
MIR. Hopkins has prevailed over the in
noyators in the matter of having but one
night for the exercises and reception,
which will probably be June 21 Has
brouek Hall has been procured for the
reception, but the question of place for
holding the exercises is still pending. Mr.
Hopkins is doing all in his power to pro-
cure the Academy of Music, as that seems
to be his pupils desire.

ing Up and Laying Down Two Caps.

ceny is one year.

SEA GIRT, May 26. lSaS-Governor
Voorhees, was seen today in reference to
the call fer more troops. Under the first
call New Jersey was required to furnisn
three regiments of infantry, about 30W
men. Under this second call the State
will be required to supply about 800 more
troops.
How will you go about the task of sup
plying New Jerseys quota of additional
volunteers?'' the Governor was asked.
THAT is something l cannot state with
positive clearness now" he replied, but
it will be something like this: New Jersey
will be required 10 furnish between 1,5oo
and 1000 men.
I'VE cannot take National Guardsmen
unless the guardsmen obtain a leave of
absence from their regiments and then
enlist as volunteers.
"A regiment cannot enlist as regiments
did on the first call, for the reason that
the Government will not take them that
way.
"A call for volunteers will be issued and
recruiting stations will be established at
various points throughout the State.
"Once our quota is filed. we will take
up the question of commissions. and the
plan now is to have commissions issued
by board designed for that purpose
There win be no trouble In filling our
quota. as there are several thousand ap-
plications for enlistment on fiie-made by
men not connected with the National
Guard
"As far as commissions are concerned,
it seems that II we had the offices to give
we could have as many officers as pri-
vates''
Only one full National Guard regiment
remains in this State-the Fourth, of Jer-
sey City of which Colonel Robert @.
Smith is the commandant. The regiment
has twelve companies.
OF the Sixth Regiment, of Camden, five
companies are left. Seven companies of
the Seventh Regiment are still left. Col
onel William H. Cooper is in command of
the Sixth and Colonel Charles Y. Bamford
in command of the Seventh
All the remaining National Guard are
regularly equipped according to the State
regulations. They have not been furnish
ed their field announcements blue
cartridge belts. campaign hats or leg
gins. or any of the other Government sup
piles.
Also there are two troops of cavalry
one with headquarters in this city and
one at Red Bank, and gun companies at
Orange, Elizabeth and Camden.

which are organized at the minimum
number allowed by law.
