CLAIM HIM FOR A REPUBLICAN.
Capt. Blum Makes the Assertion of
Capt. Henry McAIpin.

The use of the name of Capt. Henry
McAlpin a prospective Republican
candidate for congressman from this dis
Capt. McAlpin's Democratic friends are
inclined to view the report with some
doubt while the leaders of the Republi-
can faction. which is expected to put
him in nomination all look wise and
declare that they have no Information on
the subject.
Capt. Henry Blum. Jr, supervisor OF
on the subject yesterday. Il have not
che slightest idea that Capt. McAlpin will
be the candidate of any party In No
vember." said Capt Blum. In fact. I
know nothing about it beyond what !
have seen in the newspapers. I heard
some indefinite rumors to this effect a
few days before, but I have never heard
anything from Capt. McAlpin or from
any of the Republican leaders 90 indi-
cate that he might be a candidate. OF
course, there can be no candidate until
the convention acts, and until that time
l do not think any one will be able 90
say who the candidate will be-"
Capt Blum holds, however, that Capt.
McAlpin is well fitted from a party
standpoint to make the race for which
he is mentioned Capt McAlpin has
always been affiliated with the Republi-
can party" he said. HE may not have
taken the trouble 10 put himself on rec
ord, but his sympathies have always been
with the Republican party. He is like
great many others here who are taken
for granted by their associates so be
Democrats, but who have held Republi-
can views for some time. II is no ad-
vantage to them to assert their views,
but when the proper time comes they are
ready to take a. stand"
Capt. Bluns assertion that Capt. Meal
pin is a Republican of long standing will
be something of a surprise 10 those who
have never had reason to think him
otherwise than thorough Democrat. It
would be no surprise, of course, 90 know
that he is not in sympathy with some of
the principles now advocate by his party,
but in this category are to be found a
large number of citizens who have al
ways been and still consider themselves
Democrats.
Capt. McAlpin is still QUE of the city.
His own statement of his position poliu-
cally will probably settle the question
where he stands and whether he is likely
TO be a congressional candidate.

CHANCE FOR A FREE LIBRARY.
Mr.. Tarver's Proposition to the City
Council.

AS a starter for a free public library
Tarver. the old book man, at Turner's
Hall, offers the city his entire colIec-
ton on what ne considers a reasonab bic
plan. In case the city rejects or cannot
accept his offer Mr. Tarver says 1t is open
a. any other city-first come first served
The plan Mr.. Tarver proposes is for
the city to approximate the value of the
library and either buy outright or he will
loan the library and run it under a board
of directors appointed by the Mayor and
City Council.
A public bathhouse in connection with
the library Mr.. Tarver thinks would be
a good thing. Mr.. Tarver was one of the
charter members of the Y. NJ C. A. with
Col. r. D. Locke and Col. A N. Wilson
and E, f. Cunningham and others who
were its organizers and promoters. and
first recommended a reading room for
the association in 1886
Needing home for his library, Mr. Tar
yer suggests either of che following ways
Tor the city to adopt: Furnish a suitable
home or lend him money or buy outright
his collection and present it TO the city as
a starter for free library
Mr.. Tarver will petition the
city Council tomorrow night TO
appoint committee to take I'M
der Amusement the feasibility of taking
charge of the library which he proposes
10 sell or loan for number of years In
either case, Mr. Tarver offers to run the
library upon the most economical plan,

About the only uncompleted work in
this district are three industrial schedules

soUTHsIDERs' PETITION.
Alderman Dixon Says There Is Some
Misapprehensiona as to Sidewalks.

a number of the residents and property
owners south of Anderson street have
signed a petition to be presented to Coun-
ell tomorrow afternoon in which they
"call attention to the ordinance passed by
you over year ago, requiring property
owners south of Anderson street to put
down sidewalks within a specified time.
great many of US obeyed this law and
had our sidewalks put down Immediately.
but we notice that there are a number of
blocks yet without sidewalks especially
corner of Bull and Seventh streets, while
but very few of the cross streets have any
sidewalks"
Attention is called to the fact that the
Thomas Park walks are only paved north
and south and that there are no walks on
Fifth and Sixth streets, nor are there any
sidewalks around Wells square. Attention
is also called to the need of street cross
ings
The attention of Alderman Dixon, chair
man of the Street and Lane Committee,
and of Director Gadsden of the Public
Works department, was called to these
complaints of the Southsiders recently
The sidewalks ordinance referred TO-"
said Alderman Dixon, docs not require
the paving of all sidewalks south of An
quires the paving of certain north and
south streets and the property owners
were given considerable time in which TO
comply with the ordinance. We We're very
lenient with the property owners, giving
them the benefit of the full limit and some
times more. The time has about expired
and the work is practically complete. No
sidewalks were placed along Fifth and
Sixth streets along Thomas Park, because
ha 0rlfv T. A N.A1
many of the other sidewalks referred TO
by the petitioners have not been put down
because the ordinance does not require
it,"
Alderman Dixon said as the Southsid
ers seemed anxious for sidewalks another
ordinance to complete the work in that
section would, doubtless, be introduced
at early date.
Director Gadsden said that in the mat
ter of street crossings a number had al
ready been put down south of Anderson
street and this work is still in progress.

CASH DRAWERS EMPTIED.
VI. A. Stokes store Entered and
Robbed.

NJ A. Stokes dry goods store, No a
Broughton street. east, was broken into
and robbed some time between midnight
Saturday and Sunday afternoon, when
the robbery was discovered.
The thief evidently wanted money, as
no goods were taken. Both cash draw
ers were pried open and emptied of all
the cash they contained. Fortunately for
the proprietor, this amount was small,
probably not more than S.
The robbery was discovered by Mr..
Stokes, who went to the store in the af-
ternoon. AS soon as he entered he no.
ticed that the money drawers had been
broken from their fastenings and were
lying on the floor empty. A careful in
spection of the stock showed that it had
not been disturbed.
The thief entered the store from the
rear by prying open the door with
heavy stove handle, which was found in
the yard when the premises were suisse
quently examined An entrance to the
yard had been effected by climbing by
the aid of a telegraph pole in Congress
street lane to a shed. thence dropping
to the ground The thief was evidently
familiar with the premises. and probably
knew just where he could secure such
tools as would be needed. for in the yard
he found the stove handle and after en-
terlng, used for breaking into the drawers
a Ratchet that in the dark could not
very well have been found by one unac-
quainted with its location.
IL had been the custom of Mr.. Stokes
to leave the key on the inside of the rear
door after locking il at night. The thief
took the key with him, but dropped it in
his flight as ID was found on the top
of step ladder that the man had used
to reach the shed after he had secured
the money
The negro porter. Maxwell, was imme-
diately suspected by both the proprietor
of the store and Detective Clarity, who
was sent to look up the case. He was
arrested yesterday morning when he re-
ported at the store.

ON THE GROUND OF CRUELTY.
Camilla Burch Obtained a Total d.
vOrce From Her Husband.

vorce From Her Husband.
A second verdict and decree of total d.
vorce from her husband. John II. Burch.
were granted Mrs. Camille Burch in the
Superior Court yesterday. By the terms
of the verdict and decree the maiden name
of the plaintiff, Camilla Scott, is restored
10 her.
The petition shows that the parties
were married in April. 1897, and AYERS
that within yearor two of the time of the
marriage the defendant began the policy of
cruelty and abuse that continued until
July of last year, when it eliminated in
his total, wilful and causeless desertion
of the plaintiff She insisted that her hus-
band had struck her repeatedly, and in
every conceivable and inconceivabe way
had striven TO make her life miserable
and unhappy.
The grant of the decree of divorce was
not at all bitterly contested by the de-
PENDANT, and it followed the filing of the
petition in due time and almost as a mat
ter of course. The first verdict was OBJ
tanned a. the last term of the court and
the grant of the second verdict, accom-
panied by the decree, completes the legal
and total separation of the parties.
