DR.. SMITH DENOUNCES
DOVER GAMBLING DEN
Special to the Evening Journal.

Dover. Dec. 31.-In the course of a
sermon a week ago last night the
Rev. DR.. Smith. of Wesley NJ E.
Church. scored the practice of gam
bling. which he claimed was carried
on at several resorts in Dover He To-
Gated one of these as being in opera
tion under Culbreth's Hall which Is
in the third story of the Culbreth
Building. State and North streets.
AS Or. Smith spoke Of pool playing
the general inference was he alluded
TO Herbert Blackiston pool rooms as a
sort Of poker den. During the week
Mr. Blackiston visited Dr. Smith and
called his attention to this. Last even
ing in his pulpit DR.. Smith stated that
he wished to correct the impression
given in the previous sermon. He was
satisfied that Mr. Blacldston allowed
no gambling in his place "and" added
the doctor. II simply shot too low
when / located the gambling den.
This left the congre alton to under
stand that there was \ poker den an
that building after all ,ut that it was
not in the basement W ere the poo
room is located.

OPEN SEN FENCES
Prisoners Sent to the Re-
formatory Have No Set
Terms Judge Blair
Says.
WORK OUT THEIR OWN SALVATION
Only First Offenders Under
Thirty Can Be Sent to the
New Institution.
WORK OUT THEIR OWN SALVATION

Judge Blair will on Tuesday next SEN
tence some prisoners to the new Stats
Reformatory at Railway, which was open
ed few days ago. In speaking about II
today 10 a News representative the
Judge said that as he understood it, he
would simply sentence the prisoner to the
Reformatory without mentioning any
term of years.
1t will remain with him., said Judge
Blair, ITO regain his freedom by good
behavior. The trustees or commissioners
will be the judges.
First offenders may be sent to the new
institution, but no one above thirty years
of age can be sentenced to it. On mis- ar
rival at the Reformatory the pris-
oner will be placed in what is
known as the intermediary class.
By good conduct he will receive
marks raising him to higher class, and
subsequently, if his behavior continues
satisfactory the Commissioners being a
sort of Court of Pardons, can set him
free. On the other hand disobedience of
orders and infractions of the rules of the
institution place the prisoner in the low
est class, and his chances of an early re-
lease are nil.
There are at present three prisoners in
the institution. They hail from Paterson.

LAFAYETTE SHUT OFF
Big Sewer Compels All Cars to Use
Grand Street.

Cars of the Bayonne, Newark and Belt
line were run down Grand street this
morning for the first time in three
months. The reason for the resumption
Of traffic on that track is due to the work
on the big six foot sewer now in TIE
course OF construction on Grand street.
The sewer runs from Fairmount avenue
and will connect with the Mill Greek,
south of Pacific avenue. Work on the
sewer was carried across Pacific avenue
this morning. thus shutting oft traffic
through Lafayette. The Pine street Jig
GER car was run through Lafayette to-
day to carry passengers to and from the
Junction. Transfers are given at the
Junction to the Bayonne, Newark and
Belt line cars and the same system is in
operation at Pacific avenue and Grand
street.
While the sewer was being built along
Grand street the three lines of cars ran
through Lafayette. The south track on
Grand street was completely undermined
by the excavations, and a large gang was
pit on yesterday and last night to put the
track in good shape. 1t is believed that
the sewer will be finished in three weeks.

MORE LAFAYETTE SCHOOL ROOM
No. 19 Assembly Hall to BE Divided
for Glasses

The Board of Education held special
meeting yesterday afternoon and award
eed contracts for the alteration and re-
pairing of No. 10 School as follows
Barron Donaldson, carpenter, $4,194;
Charles Kennedy, mason, $1,94S; Baldwin
Engineering Company, heating, s9T;
Valentine Ringle, plumbing, 1885; total,
s7504. The attic of the school is to be
converted into five class rooms.
The appropriation of $1,000, made by the
Board of Finance for the alterations in
No. 10 School in Lafayette, is considered
by the people of that section one of the
best things that board ever did. The
money was needed badly to provide adj
ditional room for pupils in that part of
the city. Last session saw all the La
fayette schools crowded and many pupils
were transferred to No. IL on the Heights.
The altering of No. 10 means accommo-
dations for two hundred and fifty more
pupils. The assembly room has never
been used and this will be converted
into five class rooms, seating fifty in
each.
These new rooms will be ready for oc-
cupancy when the fall session begins. The
work will begin at once

POLICE DISGRACE
Detective Bumsted to Face
the Police Commits
sioners.
HIS QUEER TRANSACTION
Found a Stolen Watch in One
Pawn Shop and Pledged
It in Another.

Detective Robert Bumsted of Police
Headquarters will be brought before the
Board of Police Commissioners a. its
next meeting, on August Y. on a tech
nical charge of misconduct, preferred
against him by Chief of Police Murphy.
| The charge of misconduct is technical be-
cause it might mean any one of "a dozen
things, but the facts in this case are
that Bumsted is charged with being
guilty of abusing that confidence placed
in the Police Department by those who
look to 1t for protection of their lives and
property and of abusing the confidence
placed in him by Chief Murphy and his
superiors, who look upon detectives as
the most reliable men in the service.
Bnmsted is charged with profiting by the
robberies of thieves in at least one in
stance.
Some months ago a robbery was COM
mitted in New York City and a valuable
timepiece was stolen. The owner whose
name cannot be learned, valued this time
piece very much, because of the fact that
it was a family heirloom. The robbery
was reported to Captain Titus of the New
York City Detective Bureau, and as usual
ing cities were told of the robbery, given
description of the property stolen and
told to be on the lookout for it in pawn
shops.
Detective Bumsted was detailed some
time ago to cover the pawnshops, so nc
| was given the description of the stolen
property and told to look out for it. 1t
seems he found the much valued timepiece
N a pawnshop where it had been pledged
for $30 He paid the $50 and took the
watch out of pawn. Then he repawned
the watch for S35, thereby making profit
of S.. Then, it is said, Bumsted opened ne
gotiations with the owner of the property
On his own account. He told of having
located the watch and of his ability TO
turn it over to the owners. This move,
it is believed, was made in the hope of /.
substantial reward being paid him for his
trouble. When the owner of the watch
heard from Bumsted he thought the
method of doing business strange ant,
communicated with Captain Titus. When
Titus learned the facts of the transaction
he Immediately sent officers here to con-
suit with Chief Murphy. The Chief was
asionished to hear the details of the case
| and Immediately sent for Bumsted.
The interview was behind closed doors,
but it was a hot discussion, it is said. The
result was that Bumsted was threatened
with arrest but finally was cast out of
the room in very bad grace, suspended
There was every effort to keep the mat
ter quiet because of the reflection it would
cast on the department, but it finally
leaked out. When Chief Murphy was
asked about the matter he refused to say
anything more than that Bumsted was
charged with misconduct.
Bumsted was appointed about four years
ago He refused to discuss the case when
seen.
