On Sunday evening about half-past six
o'clock, a girl in the employ of Elmer
Tallman, of Columbus, saw man leav-
ing the barn. She notified Mr.. Tallman,
and soon after fire was discovered at the
barn. The flames were extinguished with
out much trouble Wood had been piled
about the building and there was every
evidence of an attempt atlincendiarism.
Notwithstanding it was quite light at the
time the girl saw the man about the barn
she was unable to recognize him.
An attempt was made on Saturday af-
ternoon to wreck an express train at Mer-
chantville by placing heavy piece OF
coupling iron over the rails. When the
express due at Philadelphia at 4.20 O'Clock
came along the engineer saw the obstruc-
ton. but it was too late to stop the train
In an instant the pony wheels of the loco
motive had leaped from the track but for
tunately they rolled back on the rails
again and the train went safely on.
Saturday the Camden and Trenton trac
from Trenton to Camden, extended thei
tracks into Beverly township. S. Budd
brother of ex-senator Mitchell B. Per
kins, the general manager of the trolley
company, has always opposed the trolley
and in order to prevent them from pass
ing his property he placed large shelly
ing wagon on the line of survey, and
i occupying it, defied anyone to move him
Perkins sat in the wagon for nearly eigh
hours before any notice was taken of hin
by the trolley people The tracks wer
; laid within few feet OF him, when h.
} was asked to move and refused. Abou
fifty Italians then pushed the wagol

workmen laid the rails on the disputed
right of way. Fifty feet OF roadbed wa

made into Perkins farm in the remarkabl
short time Of twelve minutes.

THE JERICHO p0sT-oFFIcE.
Pap Perkins, the Postmaster. Tells n New
story of Charity.

The Wilder Jackson. relict OF Tom
Jackson. had been one of US in Jericho for
fifteen years. She managed somehow to
take care OF herself until a long. iingerin'
sickness came, and even then she suf-
fersd for care rather than let anybody
know OF her situation. il leaked ogt, how
ever, and Jabez Thomas was one OF the
first to hear Of II. He dropped into the
post-oflice one evenin' and told about IT,,
and then said 10 the crowd:
"Feller-cItizeus. II Jericho has per-
ticker strong pint. IL is charity. No man.
woman, or child ever ylt called upon her
IN vain. IL has bin our pride ana our boast
that we was a community with heart 10
feel for the sorrers of others. Up there
on the hill, as / hey bin told within the
last two hours, lies a poor, old, sufferin'
woman, the widder of Tom Jackson. She
needs food, fuel and medicine, and has
needed iem fer days, but now that we hev
come 70 know 10 the heart of Jericho will
give a mighty responsive throb and hasten
to relieve her case"
There was a good deal of surprise over
the statement and everybody had said
how sorry he was. when Deacon Spooner
raDSed for order and said:
'trichOians, when Jsbez Thomas talks
about the charity Of this community he
makes a, strong p'Int-a mighty strong
pint We all knew Tom Jackson for an
honest, hard-workin' man, and his wilder
shall not appeal 10 us in vain. ], for one,
shall esteem it a privilege 10 contribute
TO her benefit. Let US hear from Enos Will
Iiams."
Enos rose up and said that he used TO
go fshin' with Tom Jackson, and that
had he known OF his widder bein' hard
up, he would hev divided his last turnip
with her. She was good woman and a
woman respected by all, and too much
could not be done for her. AS soon as

erection of a church. Because the old
man was asked to make a discount in

shut down the mill, boarded up doors and
windows, and the saw never turned again
He bought two stores and five or six
houses and shut them up, and he bought
every improvement for the benefit OF the
town. On the other hand he lent men
money at a low rate of interest to make
improvements, encouraged people to settle
there, and built the first schoolhouse en-
tirely at his own expense
While owning five or six comfortable
houses which were empty, old Parker
lived alone in a miserable shanty and
cooked and washed and mended for him
self. No one was ever permitted TO en-
ter his house, and he never entered the
home of any one else. There were a few
men with whom he would converse, but
he did not give them his confidence There
was no mourning in Red Oak when 1t
became known one morning that old
Parker had been found dead in his shan

lief and congratulation. 1t was soon as

and sister turned up, each claiming the
estate, and through them II was learned
that the old man must have been posses-
sed of at least SS5, 600 in gold when he
died. OF this sum only about 500 could
be found. The town was turned upside
down over the affair, and 1t had got into
