ROBBED OF
 HER DIAMONDS Daring Burglary in a House on Van Ness
 Avenue. Mrs. Dunlap Loses the Con- tents of Her Jewel
 Case.
Her Room Was Entered With the Aid of a Skeleton
 Key.

A mysterious burglary, which is pug zling the police, occurred Friday night at 232 Van Ness avenue. The victim is Mrs. Dunlap, who rooms in the house. While she was eating dinner a thief en- tered the house, and opening the door of her room searched her apartments, securing several pieces of jewelry, val ued at $500. The theft was not discov- cred until Mrs. Dunlap returned to her room. She noticed that her jewel case had been removed from its accustomed place, and that the bureau drawers had been partly opened. A glance at the jewel case disclosed that the lid had been forced open and it's valuable con tents taken.
 Mrs. Dunlap lost no time in notify ing Chief Lees, who sent Detectives Bee and Harper to make an investiga- tion. They found that the burglar had gained an entrance to Mrs. Dunlap's apartments with the aid of skeleton key How he entered the house Is what puzzles the police. They made a thorough examination of the premises, but failed to find anything which would show how he got in the house.
 They are inclined to believe, how ever, that the thief slipped into the house through the front door while Mrs. Dunlap was at dinner.
 One of the pieces of jewelry taken by the thief was a valuable gold watch studded with diamonds. Mrs. Dunlap prized it very highly, as it was given her by a dear friend. The thief also secured diamond ring valued at $50, a pair of opera glasses and long gold chain. Last night Mrs. Dunlap visited police headquarters and furnished the police with a description of the stolen rtu

A ONE-SIDED GAME. Berkeley Defeats the Alumni With
 the Greatest Ease.

The Alumni got another throw-down yesterday at Central Park, and a hard one at that. In the game with Berkeley they were simply not in 1t. In fact, the exhibition put up by the Alumni was about the worst that has ever beeniseen upon a baseball diamond. The game was long and tiresome, and 1t was too one sided to be of any interest.
 Berkeley made hits while the Alumni made errors. In the fifth inning the for ner scored twelve runs. and after this the game was farce The Alumni could do nothing with Kaarsberg and Sims, who alternated in the box, while Lichtenberg was the easiest kind of mark, and Mo Laine, who succeeded him, was but little better.

An amusing incident occurred in the
County Clerks Office one day last week.
A lawyer residing in Mount Holly wanted
to talk to Ernest Watts at Burlington, so
he entered the private Office, rang up the
central station and asked to be connected.
Can you send out for gentleman so
that may talk TO him ?" asked the legal
professor, in tones that could be heard half
block away.
The answer that came back was given
by sweet feminine voice; the attorneys
eyes flashed for moment, and then mat
ters became more interesting. The trans
mitter was pressed closer to the ear, and
the shadow of several pleasant smiles
were seen dancing about the little room,
accompanied with eyes, yes; that's so !;
ha ha Well, I'll be over Then some
one heartlessly broke in on the connec-
ton and spoiled the fun.
81 want Ernest Watts" Numbered the
attorney.
Watts ?" asked assistant clerk William
Sharp, who was in another room enjoying
good laugh.
Eyes, Watts" reared the man at the
phone, who had opened the door for a
bit of fresh air.
"Are you in earnest ?" queried an indi-
vidual who was standing near.
eyes, I'm in earnest, and there's no
fooling about 1t either" the almost dis
tracted lawyer replied.
ernest Watts is here" cried Sharp,
but there was too much noise for him to
be heard.
When the excitement had subsidized, the
counselor was chagrined to find that he
had been shouting seven miles to talk to
a man who was only seven feet away. In
disgust the transmitter was hung up, and
so was the Telephone Company for %

MI. Engla,n Lecture.

Usually the audiences that greet a lee
turer in Mount Holly are not very large,
consequently Robert F. Eng1e may feel
highly gratiied at the number of people
who greeted him at the opera house on
Thursday evening, when he delivered his
lecture on Mexico The qualification was
mutual, however, as those present were
treated to highly enjoyable 90 minutes
of interest and instruction.
The lecture was illustrated with views
taken by Mr.. Engle and gave very goot
idea of the subjects they represented
While they were an addition to the lecture
they were not absolutely a necessity, as
Mr.. Engle's eloquence and descriptive
powers were such that it was impossible
not to understand or appreciate the sub
iect he so skilfully handled. No bette
evidence of this can be given than by thi
incident: A teacher of private schoo
had nearly her entire charge present. Thu
morning following the lecture, one of tn
first exercises in the school consisted il
the teacher asking each child to repeat a
much as possible of the lecture. The re
suit was surprising, and the knowledge o
the country and its habits gained by thos
pupils will not soon be forgotten.

Caught an Eagle.

For several weeks past an eagle was
noticed lowering over the farms in the
neighborhood of Vincentown, frequently
alighting to capture chickens or other live
stock which tempted its appetite.
About two weeks before its capture il
came down in the barn yard of John
Poinsett, near Red Lion, where it sank
its talons in the back of young pig.
Mr.. Poinsett ran out with his dog, when
the eagle dropped the pig and attacked
the dog, scratching him badly.
On Friday, the bird killed sheep, but
was frightened from the carcass. A steel
trap was set on the dead sheep, and in a
short time the eagle was caught. When
approached it did not show fight, and Mr..
Poinsett determined not to kill it right
away.
He brought it to Mount Holly and gave
it to his uncle, Amos Pointsett. who took
the bird to his home and removed it from
the box in which it had been carried.
The eagle was very docile except when a
dog made It's appearance. This seemed
to enra0e it and it few at the animal and
scratched its nose.
1t was finally decided to kill the bird
and have it stuffed. 1t measured seven
feet inches from tip to tip and stood
four feet high. The carcass after being re-
moved from the hide, weighed IA lbs. In
its craw were the remains of rabbits, wild
ducks and sheep The bird was a fee
specimen of the American eagle. native
of Montana, and is the first ever seen IN
this neighborhood. 1t IS now in the
hands OF Taxidermist Samuel Brown, Of
Mount Holly avenue, and it will prob
ably be exhibited after be has mounted

Solomon Mason, of Fellowship, while
serving meat on his route on Wednesday
morning, had very serious accident. He
had sold meat to Mrs. Thomas Fitzgerald
near Fellowship, after which he turned
his team into the lane of Jacob Stiles,
when the left front wheel suddenly came
off, running into the field Mr.. Mason at
once jumped out of the wagon, at the same
time trying to stop the hores, but he had
no sooner struck the ground before the
wagon turned over, the bonnet stri king
him on the head, cutting long deep cash
in his forehead and knocking him down
partly under the wagon and soon render
ing him unconscious. Fortunately the
horses stopped very suddenly.
Mrs. Fitzgerald saw what had happened
and tried to lift the wagon, but not being
able, she ran to the Stiles house where
some men were at work. They at once
went to the scene and took Mr.. Mason
from under the wagon and took him to the
house. Mr.. Stiles at once went for DR..
Stroud, of Moorestown, who sewed up the
cash, which he said caused slight con-
cussion of the brain. Mr. Mason lay I'M
conscious oyer two hours. after which he
was removed to his home at Marlton,
where he is doing well.

The annual meeting of the Nsw Jefse
State Road Improvement Association VS.:
held in the room of State Road Commits.
sioner, Fl. I. Budd, Tuesday morning.
Several matters of importance regarding
the extension of the work Of road i'm
provement were considered. It was
shown that the present appropriation was
inadequate to meet the demands for good
roads. After this matter had been dis
cussed a resolution was unanimously
adopted asking that an annual appropria-
ton of $780, 600 be set apart for this pur-
pose.
The question of convict labor, especially
in the preparation of road material and
the furnishing of the same to counties
and townships by the State, elected
spirited discussion, resulting in the APP
| pointing of Messrs. Heulings LipGiDcott,
A. G. Wood, James s. Davidson and Sam
uel L. Allen as special committee to
make inquiries into the matter with a
view of future legislation.
The use of wide tires was another topic
discussed, it being the sense of the ascot
alton that some compulsory legislation
was necessary in order to drive narrow
tires off the improved roads. A motion
prevailed that the wide-tire law of last
year, known as the "Albertson BILL" be
presented to the Legislature again this
session. The following committee on
Legislation was appointed: DR.. J. Stock
ton Hougb, Charles Stokes, DR.. William
G. Parry, Israel Roberts, Charles T. Har-
rison.
The following officers of the association
were elected for the ensuing year Presi-
dent, Clayton Conrow vice president, DR..
J. Stockton Hough secretary and treas
urer, E. G. Harrison; assistant secretary,
Charles L. Harrison; executive commit
tee, James Owens, Colin f. Wise, ]. J.
Davidson, Henry l. Budd.
Secretary Harrison, as special agent in
the United States Department of Road
Inquiry, outlined the work carried on by
the department the past year and that
proposed for the future.
The following suggestions were consid-
cred and unanimously adopted:
/. An endorsement of the plan of free
delivery for rural districts as proposed by
the Postmaster General.
g. A recommendation that free mail
delivery be established only on perma-
nent roads, properly maintained. The
service to be Withdrawn when proper
maintenance is neglected.
3. A recommendation that the carrier
service be utilized, whenever practicable,
to act as helpers in maintaining roads.
4. An endorsement of the proposition
of the Postmaster General to establish
postal savings banks, provided the money
be invested in bonds issued by State,
county, town or township, for road pur-
poses at a rate of interest not to exceed q
PER cent
In the matter of free delivery on per-
manent roads, Mr.. Harrison stated that
in view ofthe fact that New Jersey was
recognized as in the lead on improved
roads, the association had been asked to
designate the section where free delivery
should be first tried. The following route
was selected: From Riverton to CHINA
mineon, Moorestown, Stan wick, Bridge
boro, Riverside and return to Riverton.
