quested local masons to care for his
body and this is being done. No motive
for the deed is known here"
Mr.. Mettler, since he began business
in Madison, has been considered success
full. An excellent harness maker, by
strict attention to business his customers
grew in number and his business in vol
ume.
Recently he purchased Pagan HALF
for sic, 900, upon which half of the pur-
chase price, it is understood, was paid.
The grippe, a constitution run down,
both body and brain so over taxed, that
reason gave way, is the explanation gen.
orally accepted by all. In fact, no other
seems possible. Mr.. Mettler was born
in Frenchtown, Hunterdon county, close
to the banks of the Delaware River,
fifty years ago, strange to say, in the
same house in which D. S. Brink of this
city was born, farm house, in which
Mr.. Drinks father lived and which later
was occupied by Mr.. Mettler's father.
now living at Asbury, Warren county,
aged upwards of eighty-five
Mr.. Mettler learned the trade of a
harness maker with N. s Bonnell, who
had shop at Scranton and another in
Somerville. The young harness maker
worked in both, finally acting as man.
ager for the one in the latter place.
Eventually he went to Madison where
he worked for Frank Burnet, leaving his
employ to accept a situation with Mr..
Brink, with whom he remained valued
employee until he engaged in business
at Madison.
Mr.. Mettler was prominent in Masonic
circles here, and had he not moved to
Madison would in all probability have
been elected master of Cincinnati Lodge,
as he was its senior warden. Upon
locating at Madison he affiliated with
the Masonic lodge there and was an
active and useful member. He was
also member of the Royal Arcanum
council of Madison. 1t is understood
that in addition to the insurance in the
latter he carried an insurance of $4,000
in well known company.
In 1892 he married Miss Orlie Pruden
well-known resident of this city, tc
whom his death has been a most crue
blow. The sympathies of both commu
mites is extended in the trial, which ii
indeed a heavy one for all concerned.

softly TO himself, came when was a
young lad on my fathers farm. My
father kept a large number Of chickens
.ot which he was extremely proud, as
they were hlgh-bred and the only ones
In the nelghborhood.
"One morning several OF them were.
missing, a fact which caused my faith.
en- TO say things that he never used In
ordinary conversation. II was plain
that a two-legged thief, and not an ami
mai, had taken them, as there were n
number Of foot prints around the hen
house.
Several days later a number Of 9th
ers disappeared, and then my father
was wild-eyed. He bought a savage
dog that was warranted to eat n man
on the slightest provocatlon, and
turned him loose at night. He also
borrowed a bear trap from one Of the
neighbors, and set 1t near the doorway
Of the hen house. But it was all I'm
vain. 1t was only a matter of n few
nights when a number more hens
disappeared, with no signs Of the thief.
1T was then that my detective abil-
ity began to develop by laying plans to
catch the thief. One Sunday night,
while my folks were at church, l con-
ceived a plan that / thought might
work. l secured a pot Of red paint
from the barn and fixed it over the
doorway Of the hen-house in such a
manner that 1t would be sure to fall on
any one opening the door, Then l had
figured that it would only be necessary
to look for some one covered with red
paint.t0 be sure of the thief
But my dream of looking for man
covered with red paint was short lived.
My father returning from church hap
pened to go out to the hen-house to see
If everything was all right. He opened
the door to look inside, and got the
contents of the paint pot over his head.
This so startled him that he forgot
about the bear trap until he had put
his foot in it. and had it closed up on
him with snap. That awoke the dog
and he seized the other leg.
"His cries brought the household out
on n run. We managed to get him
loose and over to the horse trough,
where we washed off what we could of
the red paint, and gave up my efforts
to catch that particular thief"

Thieves Are Arrested.

Officers Fisher and Maley last night
arrested two suspicious looking char
acters, N. Foster and Henry Jemison,
who were detained on suspicion of lhay-
ing committed burglary. They had two
coal-oH cans, each filled with oil, in
their possession. Foster said he was
direct from Australia, while Jemison
said he was from San Francisco. 1t
is thought that both are petty larceny
thieves, if not worse, and they will be
detained until evidence against them is
procured, if possible.
Later it was discovered that the oil
had been stolen from the warehouse of

Axes for Barbed Wire.

Maj. Phil Reade, who acted as an in
spector general with Skaters army,
reports that the use Of barbed wire by
the Spaniards has introduced a new
element in defensive warfare. He says
the Spaniards reached extraordinary
results in retarding attacks by barbed
wire criscrossed ahead of an advance
ing column. He recommends that in
fantry soldiers hereafter be equipped
with small axes, as the experience in
the Santiago campaign will probably
result in the use of barbed wire fortif-
cations by all nations.
