pelrated in this Sc ction, occurred some
time between twelve O'Clock Saturday
night and FIVE O'Clock Sunday morning,
outon the Bridgeton and Millville turn
pike.
The house robbed was Jacob Dare's,
Mr.. Dare and his family went away to
spend Saturday night, leaving Mr.. Dare's
father at home. The old gentleman, who
is totally deaf, retired early, and was
soon asleep. Some time before five
o'clock Sunday morning robbers drove to
the house, hitched their horse, and enter
ed Mr.. Dare's home.
Mr.. Dare had twenty-five bushels of
wheat and large lot of potatoes stored
in one part of the house. The robbers
loaded up all his wheat, and most all the
potatoes, and then stole several articles
about the house. They lighted the lamp,
spread the table and partook of a lunch,
eating sardines, eggs, bread and butter,
and drank milk before they left.
II must have been some one who knew
the Dares were away, and taking advan-
tage of the old gentleman's affection,
went and robbed the house.
The horse and wagon tracks were
traced yesterday by Mr.. Dare a consider
able distance. and suspicion rests on cer-
tain parties.
TIE loss is quite severe to Mr.. Dare.

TRIED TO DROWN HERSELF.
Unfortunate Irish Woman is Clearly Mem
tslly Unbalanced and VIII be
Cared For,

|
Mrs. Casey, who some years ago main
tained laundry at the corner of Wash
ington and Laurel streets, caused some
excitement Saturday morning among the
neighbors who live on Water street.
The old Irish woman was seen to wan
der down toward the Cohansey about six
O'Clock. and gathering up her skirts
waded in the water 1t was low tide and
she went in where there is an easy slope
from the shore to the deep water.
AS she struck the water she piously
crossed her hands over her breast and
began mumbling what were supposed to
be prayers.
She continued marching in the water
until she was wet nearly to the knees,
and then she stopped. Evidently her de-
termination to drown was changed, and
she started to return.
Seeing that she was being watched, Mrs.
Casey hid herself in the high weeds for
time and then came out and walked to
Minch's cider press. There she stood like
statue, never moving muscle or utter
ing word. Neighbors tried to talk to
her but she paid no attention whatever to
them. She would not utter syllable and
declined to obey requests to 60 home.
Officers were sent for, and Officer
Bctchner appeared and conducted the
woman to the City Hall. She declined to
give any reason for her strange actions,
and it was manifest that she was ment-
ally unbalanced. Mayor Appelgate made
an investigation, found that the woman
lived alone, had no one to care for her
and that she should be cared fore was
beyond question. 1t was finally deter
mined tosend the woman to Jail for ten
days upon the nominal charge of dis,
orderly conduct, and in the meantime her
sanity will be inquired into, and it is pre-
bable that she will be sent away.

startled this morning by noise which
they guessed to be disastrous explosion
at the Repauno Chemical Company's
works. Wild rumors were spread, but it
was soon learned that the explosion was
only the Intentional destruction of some
waste. At stated times the useless odds
and ends of explosives are collected in a
pile on vacant lot and exploded. Us
ually the powder goes up in puff of
smoke without any noise, but this time,
owing to the character of the material,
there was an explosion instead of the
customary puff. No damage was done
and nobody was hurt

WIN. BRIGGS DEAD.
Died on the Night of the 25th of July, al
Kearsey, Nj.

Died on the Night of the e5th of July, at
Kearsey. Nj.
William Briggs, an old soldier, who for
years lived on Cohansey street, is dead.
He died on the night of the 25th of July,
and his family living here knew it not
until last Friday.
For some time Briggs has been an in
mate OF tile New Jersey Home for dis
abled soldiers at Kearsey, n. which
is not far from Newark. Recently JUS
tice of the Peace Ephraim Buck had oc-
casion to inquire of the home for Mr.
Briggs and learned from the Superinten-
dent that the old soldier was dead
Greatly surprised, the Justice inquired of
Mrs. Briggs concerning the matter, and
she told him she knew nothing of her
husbands death. The Justice immedi-
ately notified the Superintendent that the
information of the death of Briggs had
never reached here, and Friday last re-
ceived this reply:
"EPHRAIM BUCK, ESQ.,, BRIDGEToN, N. ].
Dear Sir:-Replying to yours of the
9th inst would state that we wrote Mrs
William Briggs yesterday informing her
that we telegraphed her on the morning
of the 26th of July, that her husband died
on the night of the 25th. We regret very
much she did not receive the same.
Respectfully,
PETER F. ROGERS, Superintendent
Inquiry at the to egraph Office brought
forth the missing telegram. 1t was ex-
planned that an attempt was made to de-
liver the same when received, but nobody
was home at the time.

1t was charged during the prosperous
times preceding 1894, that the numerous
and stubbornly fought strikes all over the
country disproved the claim that Repub.
lican rule and good times were coinci-
dent But it was answered that the
strikes were always numerous when
business was booming and labor was in
demand, and seldom occurred when
times were bad, factories and workshops
were closed or running on half-time, and
labor was drag in the market. The
many vigorous strikes of the present year
illustrate the same principle. Labor
would be too sick and hungry and weak
to strike under free trade.

How we are Looked At.

The city of Bridgeton will remain dry
town, Council last night having voted
unanimously against granting liquor
licenses. 1t need not be inferred from this
that wet good, are not INDUCED in by the
thirsty of the town, for it is common
report that there are speak -easies and
club rooms open to those who have and
can get the proper password. The only
objection of a connoissseur is that the
LIQUORS in prohibition town are of a
very poor quality.-Camdee Courier.

Now In Jail,

George Simpkins, young man of this
city, according to the police officers
has been going pretty hard space re-
Gently, and has made considerable trouble
for several people. His appetite for
liquor has been his undoing. Monday
he was arrested couple of times upon
warrants issued out of Justice Joel F.
Pierce's Court. First he was charged
with drunkenness, and he pleaded guilty.
That got him four days. Then he was
charged with assault and battery upon
Daniel Hulings and was held for court up
on that charge.

No Resignation From the Chancellor.

NO hesiSudtiOH from Cne ChaDcellOr.
The story which appeared yesterday
that Chancellor McGill would resign on
January next is iescredited by lawyers
who are close friends of the Chancellor.
They say that the Chancellor, who is in
Europe, has written that he has been
greatly benefited by his trip, but did not
intimate that he entertained any idea of
rendering his resignation, although he
had expressed fear that close application
to his duties would undermine his health.
The story does not stop with the resigna-
ton. 1t states that Chief Justice Magic
Will be appointed Chancellor, and that
Senator Cross will be selected to fill the
vacancy on the Supreme Court bench.
The inference is that the report ema-
mates from some one ambitious to succeed
prospective Justice Cross in the Senate.
The election will be held in November

pretty nearly the same roll. These
