Arrested for Stealing Money.

| The residence of William p and Alfred
E. Eddy, at 141 Arch street, was entered
by burglar on Sunday evening, while
| the family was at church. Entrance was
effected by the removal of screen from
a rear window The thief, who evidently
had knowledge of money being in the
house, succeeded in getting some $50 OF
$50 The robbery was at once reported tC
| the police and efforts were Immediately
put forward to find the perpetrator.
Yesterday morning James Caldwell hap
pened to go into the barber shop of JOSEPH
Aguglia, on Madison avenue, and before
he left the place the Italian told him that
he was going to buy the shop of Thomas
Holland, and with this statement he pulled
out a roll of notes with which he intended
| to make the purchase. This circumstance
was told to John Reamer, who knew Of
the robbery, and he Immediately informed
the Eddy brothers This gave a clue
which was worked up faithfully by the
police. Finally warrant was sworn out
for the arrest of Aguglia, which was
served by Officer Collins
The defendant was given hearing be
fore Justice Clevenger, when the Eddy
brothers and the officers told what they
knew
William P. Eddy, who made the com
plant, said he could identify some of the
money, as one of the 50 bills had piece
of white paper pasted diagonally across it.
He also said he got this bill from Mrs.
Daniel Lippincott, of Andersonville. The
prisoner was asked to hand over his mon
ey, and when he did So the note in ques-
ton was readily picked out. The Eddy
brothers also identified one or two other
bills. The Italian said he had received it
that morning from an early customer
who left for Burlington on the 7. 25 trolley.
He gave minute description of the man,
but this whole story is refuted by the rail
road men who had charge of the train.
There was some So in silver in box,
and the Italian was taken back with the
officers so that his house and shop could
ne searched, Dut notnlhg was Iounu. Inc
evidence was deemed sufficient to hold the
prisoner, and he was committed to Jail in
default of $500 bail to answer at court
During the afternoon the 50 bill, with
the paper running across its face was
taken to Mrs. Lippincott, who identified it
as the same bill which she gave to Mr..
Eddy, ON Saturday. The officials at the
Farmers bank also proved its identity, ii
having come from that institution on Sat
urday

It is currently reported that,J. Frank
Budd, the shoe manufacturer of Burling
ton, will be the Democratic candidate for
Congress in this district
At the congressional convention on
Thursday, ex-senator Parry was chair
man of the Burlington delegation. Sam
uel K Robbins was chairman of the con
vention
In the caucus of the Burlington county
delegation before the convention at At
lantic City, on Thursday, the delegates
from Evesham created little sensation
by nominating George Wildes for Con
gress and announcing their intention to
cast their vote that way in the conven-
ton They finally reconsidered their de-
termination and the vote was cast solidly
for Gardner
In the organization of the Congressional
Convention on Thursday, Burlington
county was represented as follows on the
committees: Rules, Evan F. Benners
Chester; credentials, Frederick Peters,
Burlington resolutions, Charles K Cham
bers Northampton; permanent organiza-
ton, w Budd Deacon, Northampton
Hon William H. Carter of Bordentown,
was continued on the Congressional com
mittee
The recent election for delegates to the
Congressional convention was devoid of
incident in this county, save in few
| townships where there was a slight con-
test to test the strength of leadership In
Burlington, Charlie Parker, who occupies
a snug berth at Washington, felt it to be
his duty to show what he could do in the
way of sending delegates, but exSheriff
Hays and his followers were masters of
the situation, and, with one exception,
the delegates from that city were composed
of the personal friends of the ex-Sheriff,
the one being allowed to 20 without OPP
position. In Pemberton, Colby Budd
wanted to go. He was opposed by Will
lam Warren, who is candidate for post
master in that place when it is decided to
remove the Democratic candidate who
has already been allowed to hold on to the
plum three months after the expiration of
the term. Warren cleaned his opponent
up by large majority.
There still seems to be some doubt
whether Frank Endicott is or is not can
didate for county clerk Our opinion may
not be desired at present but it will be
given nevertheless Mr. Endicott will
show his political wisdom by not entering
| the field at this time. He had chance at
the office of Sheriff. but failed to make it,
and unsuccessfully attempted to land in
the Surrogates chair The appointment
of a postmaster was handed to him as a
sort of balm for these two disappoint-
ments, but he does not seem to be satisfied
If desire to get square with somebody
has an influence in the present instance,
it would be just as well to note the fact
that the time for using the Republican
party for personal ends has gone by. As
a bona-fide candidate we have no hest
fancy in predicting that he will not have
any chance of success, and he has no bus
mess to enter merely for the purpose of
trying to kill somebody else.

saa siaa Park.

The week just passed has marked the
high water of seashore travel and sea-
shore life, and it is probable that with the
exception of the coming Labor Day and
the Saturday and Sunday that preeede it,
nowhere along the shore will there be SO
many guests as there have been on the
past two Saturdays and to-day. While
there have been crowds all along the
beach, Sea Side Park has had its share.
For three Saturdays and Sundays there
has not been room for all the guests at the
Manhasset, and during the week the hotel
has been filled completely.
Bathing seems to be INDUCED in by al
most everyone here, the few who do not
take the daily dip accompanying their
friends to the beach, and by their bright
costumes adding to the gayety of the
scene. Bathing costumes are rarely gay
here, mostly of the conventional black
and blue. One lady was noticed this
week CARRIED in bloomer costume, of un-
pretentious black brilliantine, and so full
in its folds that it looked almost as a
skirt
Judge E. T. r. Apologize, of Nights

John Gray, of Forest Grove Pa, made
three catches of weaktish on three sue
cessive days last week Of 100, 10 and 1876.

Free Rural Delivery.

A Government inspector has been look
ing into the rural delivery system Ii
his report the inspector says:
1--WE covered the western portion OF
Burlington county On my recommen-
dation free rural delivery was established
at Moorestown and Riverton, three car
riers having been put on at the former
place. They are doing fine work, and
giving satisfaction. Good reports from
them are received here. Nevertheless, it
must be said that there have been a few
protests. One place in that region com
planned that we had discontinued their
stage coach and thrown them back hun
dred years. The man who got up that
complaint had been a candidate for post
master The trouble seems to have come
from the fourth-class postmasters and
their friends. They objected that the
delivery invaded their territory and cut
off their compensation, already meagre.
The post master at Evesboro threatened to
resign unless he received a salary
THE suggestion was made by the Post
master at Manahawkin, that that would
be an ideal place for free delivery.
went there examined into all the facts,
and reported that it would be just the
place for rural delivery. There were
three little postofflces along the line of the
railway Cedar Run Mayetta and Stat
fordville one, one and one half and two
miles distant respectively from Mana
hawkin The two former were supplied
by messenger service from the railroad,
having two mails a day. l arranged for
all these points and one delivery day for
other contiguous territory. The postmas
tiers at Mayetta and Staffordsville were
anxious to be relieved, and | told them
they could be- But they changed their
minds and got up petitions signed by
nearly all the residents, many of whom
before had expressed to me their satisfac-
ton with the free delivery. Here free
delivery would have saved 5000 year if
it had been permitted to operate.
Mr.. Smith gave some of his experiences
in West Virginia and Indiana, where the
people had taken kindly to the expert
ment. He named, among other places
Muncle, Ind, and Martinsburg, w Va.
An Iowa postmaster, not content with re
tanning untrammeled a small area, desired
to exclude rural free delivery from all
places within six miles of his postoffice
One postmaster made strong case. He
receives about $40, and pays "a or 50 for
rent of "a room. He is hardly able to hold
on with the territory he has. Free deliv-
cry cuts into his demesne as near as a
mile and quarter, and he merely submits
the facts, with reminder that he has
asked for free delivery on his line, and is
willing, if it is accorded, to give up his
office In such cases the Department
Mr. Smith says, will grant delivery when
ever possible; probably in a short time.
1t is said at the Department that as the
people understand the benefits of free de
livery at their doors they ask for it, and
sometimes they even propose to pay for it
out of their own pockets The Depart
ment utilities the star route carriers, pay
ing them $50 or 800 extra, as the case
may be, for making delivery along their
routes,

The passengers on the train that lef

given bad scare and sharp shake III
caused by the train colliding with an en-
CINE. The accident occurred at poin
opposite the Pavonia shops.
Allen A. Engle was engineer of the pas
senger train and William Everham was hi,
fireman Both men live in Mount Holly
! They passed through here about six
o'clock, bound for Camden with the train
from Beach Haven. On reaching that
! city it was their business to attach to the
train that leaves for this place soon after
their arrival. Last evening they were be
hind time and on reaching Camden they
at once turned and started for Mount
Holly
The train was going at a pretty sharp
speed and as it neared Pavonia the engin-
eer noticed an engine on the same track
that he was using, headed towards him.
He at once put on the brakes but was I'M
able to check the speed of his train and
the two engines came together with a
crash. Seeing that collision was I'M
avoidable Engle and his fireman jumped

both men when it was found that the en-
gineer was suffering from conclusion of

hospital. Everham come to his home on
a later train. He was able to walk with
assistance. The passengers on the train
were badly frightened and there was much
excitement for time.
Several Mount Holly people came
up on that train every evening and
they got their share of hurts Con
ductor Joshua Matlack was thrown

He was thrown forward and received a
bad cut on the mouth. William S. Rem
dell's arm was bruised Harry White

time. The sudden lurch of the car gave
Edward F. Burns a stiff neck. Louis
Garbarino was standing in the aisle watch
ing some passengers play cards and he
as thrown against seat, receiving
bruises on his chest.
The engine into which the passenger
train crashed was drill engine shifting
some cars. How it happened to be in the
way has not been made public.
Soon after the accident a man supposed
to be a tramp, was noticed endeavoring to
take money from the pocket of the I'M
conscious engineer. He was promptly
arrested

EXCELLENT MUSIC.

The Ansonia Sentinel says: Those who attended the recent special musical service at Christ church wede given a fine treat, as the programme prepared was most artistically rendered In view of the many selections to be rendered the sermon was omitted and its time was devoted to the music. Not only was the choir in fine training, singing unusually well, but it was assisted by Ralph Sshneelock, tenor, and Charles F. Williams, basso, of New Haven, and A. M. French, formerly of the choir, and Hermann Heubisch, both of Derby, assisted the choir in the choruses.
 The offertory solo was rendered by MT. Williams, whose singing was ex- ceptionally good; his voice being in fine form. In the anthem, King All Glori- ous," tenor and basso solos were sung by MT. Cshneelock and Mr. Williams, and were very fine. MT. Williams also sang a solo in the anthem, "Ho, Every One That Thirsteth."
 The service was but another one of the many fine musical programms giv- en from time to time in Christ church. D. F. Newton, the organist and choir master, conducted the service at the organ, and H. Stanley Knight, of New Haven, who is we'll known here as a musician of rare ability, assisted in the accompaniments on the piano. The service was very we'll attended.

A REFRACTORY PRISONER.
Hugh Brown Made Trouble for PatroI
 man Winchell.

man Wlncnel.
 Hugh Brown was arrested last night by Patrolman Winchell on a charge of drunkenness, but before he was placed in the lookup the addi- tional charge of resistance to an officer was placed against him. When Winchell attempted to ar rest him Brown resisted and the patrol man was obliged to sooth him by few well directed blows with the locust, one of which made an ugly gash in the re- fractory prisoners head. The cut was dressed by Police Surgeon Gompertz, but Brown in his drunken rage tore off the bandages in the lookup. Brown is the man who was cut by an Italian in front of the Aldrich house about a year and half ago on the night when Fitzgerald was stabbed to death on Meadow street by an Italian, It was thought at the time that after his trouble with Brown the Italian lay in wait for him on Meadow street and when Fitzgerald came along stabbed him to death, thinking it was Brown.
