to solve the problem practical

1t was said that Smith, who heretofore

ward Smith. 1t was intimated that friends
of the prisoner were endeavoring to make

time for that purpose Mr.. Brown said that
in his fourteen years connection with the
association Smith had handled something
over 81, 500, 900, and his counts were al
ways correct. Judge Arnold deferred

Miduight Prowler Shot.

At an early hour Saturday morning the
family of William E. Thomson, of Moores-
town, was awakened by the noise of some
one trying to break in their house. Mr..
Thompson's son got up and, armed with q
rifle, started to investigate. After walk
ing around the house he found a man in
the yard and ordered him to surrender.
This the man refused to do and made a
dash in a threatening manner at Mr.,
Thomson. The young man aimed at the
mans legs and fired. The man still came
on and another shot was fired. This
brought him to earth.
The shots were heard by Officer Peter
Beatty and he put the man under arrest.
1t was found that both bullets had taken
effect in his legs. DR.. Stroud attended to
his wounds, which are not serious. Justice
Petit gave the prisoner a hearing. He
proved to be William McElwee, of Moores-
town.
McElwee disclaimed all knowledge of
the affair and said he was drunk and did
not know what had taken place. He has
served six months in state prison for try
ing to break into a house at Maple Shade.
He was committed to Jail.
1t is also stated that McElwee, earlier
in the evening, had aroused Mrs. Johr
West, and told her that a relative who
lived quite a distance out of own was
very i'll. Mrs. West got a neighbor tc
stay in her house while she drove to the
country, only to find the story a fabrica-
ton. 1t is thought that it was McElwee's
intention to rob the house. 1t is also
stated that he threatened to burn the
house of William Davidson, because they
refused him food.

An Aged Lady.

In Sundays Philadelphia Inquirer was
the portrait of Mrs. Sarah Doron Terry,
aged 100 years. Mrs. Terry is the only
living member of the large family of chill
dren of Stacy Doron. of Mount Holly,
where Mrs. Terry was born. Stacy Doron
was a young bridegroom when he an
swered his country's call to arm, and en-
listed under the command of General
George Washington, serving seven years,
in which time he achieved a very brilliant
record, particularly Distinguishing him
self at the battle of Monmouth. A few of
Philadelphia's oldest citizens who are liv
ing to-day can recall a quaint figure,
white, haired and bent with age, but alert
and ever active, that day after day, not
so many years ago, stood on the wharf
near Kensington speaking a few pleasant
words to the workmen or silently whit
ling a stick as he watched their labors.
This was Stacy Doron, who was nearly
one hundred years old. He died at the
home of his son in Kensington in his
ninety-seventh year. Mr.. DOron was
married three times and Mrs. Terry was
his first child.
On her 108th birthday Mrs. Terry joined
the Quaker City Chapter of the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution, of
which Mrs. George W. Kendrick, Jr., is
Regent, and on the third Friday of every
month when the weather is at all ner.
missible, Mrs. Terry is an interested spec
tator, as well as an active member of that
distinguished branch of the national or
ganization at its meetings in George G
Meade Post room, in Odd Fellows TEN
pie, Philadelphia. Few, if any, patrio
tic organizations in this country can claim
a true daughter of the war of 1776 as
member,

Harry Mattson and E. B. Marter, Jr.,
are mentioned as candidates for the Re
publican nomination for Freebooter in
Burlington township.
B. Frank Stidfole has decided not to be
a candidate for Township Clerk. He
thanks all who promised to support him,
and says he will call on them later.
Joseph S. Shreve seems to be the only
nominee for township committee and it is
to be hoped he may be nominated with
out opposition. He will make a model
officer.
There seems to be a general impression
that the township will be benefited by a
change in the office of constable. The
only way to secure this is for the taxpay-
ers to come out and vote at the primary.
Jesse Woodruff and A. Elwell Gaskill ap-
pear to be the favorites and there will not
be any mistake made in their nomination.
On Friday afternoon the Republican
voters will have a chance to form a ticket
to be supported in this township on Town
Meeting day. If they neglect the oppor-
tunity there should not be any complaint
if the officers chosen do not prove to be
such as will conduct township affairs
fairly and economically. The offices of
Township Committee and Constable are
especially important to the taxpayers, and
care should be taken to see that good men
are nominated for those positions.
The office of county collector is attract
ing the attention of many Democrats who
are anxious to step into Joe Powells
shoes. Ex-Surrogate Ballinger and his
friends are quite active in their efforts to
secure control of the Board of Freeholders
and ex-senator Perkins is not sleeping
any. One day last week there was a
gathering of Democrats at the Ridgway
House in Philadelphia. In the party
were a candidate for county collector,
the manager of the free-silver organ in
Mount Holly, a prominent lawyer of the
same town, a free-silver advocate from
Palmyra, and last, but not by any means
least, Abe Conrow. The object of the
meeting was said to have been the devils
ing of ways and means for the Democrats
to elect a sufficient number of F~reeholders
to make the election of a collector sure.
What was decided on is not known, but it
is rumored that Abe, with defeat staring
him in the face, insisted on being taken
care of at all hazards, and before any
others were considered. If this is so it
must be taken for granted he is pledged
to support somebody for county collector,
and the statesman from Beverly need not
count on him.

State Stone Roads.

There has been a prevailing impression
in the northern section of the state that
South Jersey has received more than its
share of the annual appropriation for
stone roads. State Road Commissioner
Henry l. Budd, in speaking of the matter
on Thursday, said:
Since New Jersey placed upon her stat
ute books the State Aid Road law she has
expended for good roads 1855, 1864 5. Of
this mount there has been spent north of
Trenton $265, 1855. IS. There has therefore
been spent north of Trenton $34, 1874. 6S
more than in the state south,
This money has been instrumental in
building one hundred and fifty miles of
roads north of Trenton and one hundred
and s~eventy-four miles south of Trenton
miles more south than north.
This excess is owing to cheaper construc-
ton, about forty four miles south having
been built of gravel. With the exception
of a few miles in Monmouth county the
roads north of Trenton haye been all built
of stone, and the cost of grading per mile
has been very much in excess north of
Trenton rather thar south, being in some
places almost as expensive as the macad-
am.

There is more catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a eonsti-
t%utional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

Death of Jarvis H. BARTLETT.

Jarvis H. Bartlett, aged rs, who for ff-
teen years was actively engaged in Allan
tic City in the real estate and insurance
business, died Thursday at noon at his
home in that city. Mr.. Bartlett had been
sick about a week from a heavy cold
which settled on his chest. Erysipelas set
in soon afterwards and was the direct
cause of death.
The deceased was a son of Nathan Bart

place. He was the youngest of eight sons.
In 1843 he entered the employ of Timothy
Pharo and a year later established him
self in business. For thirty years he con

He always took an active interest in poll
tics, first affiliating with the Wings and
after the d~isintegration of that party al
lied himself with the Republicans. He
served as a member of the Legislature
from Burlington county in 1857, and also
held the Office of Collector of the Port of
Little Egg Harbor for eighteen years.
He sat as one of the representatives of
Tuckerton in the Board of Freeholders for
fifteen years. In Atlantic City the only
office he held was that of Judicious Free
holder, to which he was elected for three
years.
He was widely known to citizens

hearted hospitality and was held in high
esteem. A widow and four children sur
vive him, the youngest son, Charles Allen
