INGENIOUS AND PATRIOTIC

In the window of w. A. Bronson's drug store is an American flag made entirely of chemicals. The white stripes are alum, the red bchromate of potas- sium, and the blue square of sulphate of copper. It is altogether very ingen- ious, and F. A. Caryl, the head clerk, who designed and made it. deserves much credit. This flag is no doubt the only one of the kind in New Haven, if not in the state.

IN SILENT SLEEP.
The Obsequies of Harry L. Thompson at
Commerce Street Cemetery.

The Obsequies of Harry L. Thompson at
Commerce Street Cemetery.
Few funerals have been so im oressive
and largely attended as that of Friday
afternoon, when the still, silent form of
the late Harry L. Thompson was con-
veyed to the last resting place, to await
the final awak kening.
The services were at the residence of
Harry's parents, on East avenue, and
before noon. the many friends of the
young man, so suddenly and Dramatic
ally taken away, began to visit The sad :
dened home, and gaze for the .ast time
upon the pale face so natural in death
that it appeared as if the occupant of the
beautiful oaken, com bination casket
was in quiet, restful sleep, kindly ex
preston spread DER the countenance, and
lust suspicion of the old familiar smile
played about the lips. 1t seemed as if he
should, would awake.
The body was lying in the parlor sur
rounded by beautiful flowers A vacant
chair was sent by the fellow mem bers of
the City Band, to their departed comrade,
broken column was received from some
friends of the deceased, while there were
many other bouquets of beautiful flowers.
A most suggestive piece, and one that
caused tears to start, was handsome
floral drum. 1t was made of carnations.
roses and lilies of the valley, while upon
the head, at rest, were the crossed drum
sticks, entwined with smilax. The drum
was sent by the Bridgeton and Millville
Traction Company, as mark of sympa-
thy, to the family of the young man who
had been trap drummer of the Company,s
Park Band.
Prayer was offered by Rev. HI. Fl.
Beadle, of the Second PRESBYTERIAN
Church, and most affecting, sincere.
earnest sermon was delivered By Rev
Charles Elder, of Commerce Street NJ. E.
Church.
The interment was at Commerce Street
M. E. Cemetery. The pail bearers, with
one exception, were mem bers of the City
Band. They were: Elwood Lewis, Geo,
Kinkle, Alex Laing, Charles lehman,

Gently paroled from the State Prison and
returned to this city, is in more serions
trouble than ever before.

Mrs. Bateman, of Cedsrville. This
money he brought to Bridgeton. Car

The issue was Isaac Geschicter as
Joseph Harsteen and Mority Klein. The
story OF the plaintiff was presented by
various Hebrew witnesses, and when it
was all put together it was like this:
Geschicter, an old Russian, some years
ago, came to this country with Sl2O0-all
ths money he had In the world. He
came to this county and settled with
Joseph Harsteen, whose name was really
Geschicter, and he u brother of the old
man. 1t seemed that Harnsteen induced
the old man togo into the tin business,
and Morris Bloom went over to New
York and bought S2.75 worth of tinware
WI ;h was shipped to Rosenhayn in
Hoisteen's name. Since then various
legal troubles have arisen between the
family. and the Horsteens have gotten
pretty much all of the old mans money,
and the present suit is for the old man to
hold on to the tin ware, which is claimed
by the old man.

MUCH SENSATION.
Mother says her Daughter was Killed
by Henry Anderson. An
Ordinary Scrap

1t was about three o'clock a. m Friday
when Emma Mink, little colored wom-
an of lower Hopewell came running
hreathlessls to officer Lore on the street,
and shouted ''her daughter had been
murdered"
When the officer got the woman quieted
she said her daughter, Ruth Thompson,
was lying stark dead in corn field down
in Lower Hopewell, having been shot by
her colored lover Henry Anderson. Mrs.
Mink had walked all the way to Bridge
ton in the dead of the night to give the
alarm.
Mayor Appelgate was gotten out of bed
and the woman told her story, and war
rant was issued for Anderson upon a
charge of ASSAULT and battery, and officer
Lore accompanied the woman back to her
home.
Before Lore went to Anderson's house
he visited several neighbors, and all told
him that tragedy had taken place, and
that Al one O'clock this morning they had
heard gun fired, and had seen Ruth
Thompson lying an hour out in the field. /.
They supposed then that Anderson had
dragged the girls body away and hidden
it,
OG.cer Lore thought he had a tragedy
on rs Asfi5 >, ard be Eyooae9a2 10 the
Anderson house, where he was denied
admittance, and ordered away under
pain of being shot. The officer then
threatened to burn the house down, and
do little shooting on his own hook
The door was then opened and Anderson
placed under arrest.
Ruth Thompson was on the floor and
did not get up, and declared she had not
been hurt. The officer made no examina-
ton. He loaded Anderson in his wagon
and brought him to Jail. Anderson ad-
mitted, on his way to Bridgeton, that he
had struck the girl, and had been drink
ing.
And thus ended the murder story.

1899 begins it's first Court sessions to-
day-the regular January term beginning
this morning at ten O'Clock.
Supreme Court Justice VIM. s. Gum
mere, who exchanges places with Judge
Ludlow for the term, was early present
at the Court House, and was upon the
bench promptly at the stroke of ten. Be
side him was Judge Hoagland, and pres
ent were all of the Court officers. There
were many officers present. and the
usual number of people were within the
room.
When the clerk called the roll of petit
jurors, the fact that grippe was prevalent
in this section, was indicated by the
unusual number of absentees.
1t was pretty generally understood
among the lawyers, before Court con-
vened, that few of the civil cases would
be tried. All of the Supreme cases we're
known to go over, while but three of the
Circuit issues were expected to be
moved. That means that couple of
days will wind up the civil business.
Before the list of causes were called the
the clerk called the Grand Jury, the
following answering to their names:

Juoge Gummere said to the Grand
jury that the mos important matter to
come before the Grand Inquest was a
homlcide case In Millville. He then
called attention to the recent unfortunate
tragedy in Millville, where life was
taken in the Wheaton Glassworks The
Court said that as the case had been re-.
lated to him there was no justification for
the homicide and broadly intimated that
the Grand jury should find bill against
