Peace Francis NJ. Rove, In this Fit.-
gerald, Crow and Mrs. Crow were
larry in the home Of Rev. Y. NJ. Rue.
Of Shamokin, November II.
Several articles We're stolen, includ-
ing a lady's watch. After the gang
was rounded UP here on Christmas
day a large amount of booty was
found in their possession. which was
readily identified as coming from the
homes of II. Bevan, Prof. John II.
Jones and Mrs. Martha PAUL., of this
city.
Several articles remained, however,
unidentified. and cards were sent
throughout the country to the various
police departments with descriptions
of the articles upon them. Subsequent
ly several of them, pieces of table
ware, were found to have been stolen
from home in Pittston, and letter
also arrived from Chief of Police Gill
Ion, of Shamokin, telling Of the burg
larry at the home Of Rev. Mr.. Rue, and
the securing by the thieves of, among
other things, a watch which cores
ponded with the description on the
cards.
This letter also identified Mrs. Crow
as the wife of Grow, and his partner
in several desperate undertakings. The
warrant for the arrest of the three
arrived soon after this and was kept
by Chief Robling.
Mrs. Crow was yesterday taken to
the central police station by Mounted
officer Joseph Bloch. and will be hell
there until some one arrives from
Shamokin to take her to the latter
place. The police department has been
notified and it is expected that the
woman will soon be called fer.
SHE WAS RESIGNED.
Mrs. Crow took the matter Of her
arrest in a quiet and stoic-likc man
ner, manifesting no excitement at all.
She offered no resistance and seemed
perfectly resigned.
The watch belonging to Rev. Mr.
Rue, which was found in her possess
sion, contained the clergyman's ini-
tlalS. HeSe WE'RE
criss-crossed so that it was scarcely
possible to decipher them. In itself
this was very suspicious, but Mrs
Crow would not admit it to be SUCH
She told the police that the initials
were those of her maiden name AMI
for a reason she did not make known,
she wished to destroy any and every
thing that might tend to disclose her
maiden name.

They were here during the trial Of the
Mayfield burglars. who are also from
down Shamokin way. and were seen
in the court room On several occasions
during the progress of the trial.
Grow and Salmon have each served
three terms In the Schuylkill county
Jail for burglaries, and Crow was re-
leased only year ago from five
years term in the penitentiary for n
similar offcnsc.

terson, n farmer near here, reports
II series of experiments thus far
successfully made toward the rid
dance of the Uessian fly, which
has devastated the growing wheat

while the fields adjoining were full
of them. His wheat promises an

Tramp, tramp, tramp. The

homeless, houseless, and we might
truly say, almost friendless. How
sad their lot! To be homeless is,
to me, almost the saddest thought
we can conceive of.
Every man and every woman
should have a home. What we
need in the world today is more
and better homes. | love that man
or that woman who truly loves
home. The Christian home is, to
me, the sweetest and dearest type
of heaven. ! think that is why
God instituted the marriage rela-
tion. Without it there cannot be II

the term. The old bachelor who

kind Creator says, 1T is not good

fore, he establishes a Bachelor $

burlesque on home, indeed.
\ home without mother, wife
and children is not just the kind
of II home that God smiles upon.
That home where love is the dom
mating and all-important factor is
the sweet and precious type of
heaven. 1t has been said three of
the sweetest words in our language
are Mother, Home and Heaven.

the whole earth will be full of
