The RESERVOIR MYSTERY
BordentoWn Excited Over the
Supposed Murder of a
Woman.
Especial to .'The Jersey city News."I

j
BORDENTOWN N, Aug. IA, 19M-The
solved. The water is being drawn off
through three-inch pipe and it will be
morning before the bottom of the basin
is exposed.
In the meantime there is a subdued ex-
citement in the town.
Miss Florence Drummond, a young
woman from New York, has been visit
ing friends in the neighborhood of the
reservoir. She says that during the night
of Sunday, August 4, between the. hours
of one and two, she was awakened by a
passing buggy.
There seems to be struggle going on
and when she ran to a window looking
into a road she heard woman's voice
exclaim, "Oh, for Gods sake don't kill
mer' She saw the buggy go on towards
the reservoir.
Very badly frightened she retired again.
Hearing of no outrage next morning she
said nothing. Yesterday when she heard
of the supposed murder she remembered
her experience.
There are a great many knowing ones
who believe that murder has been COM
mitted and that the boy Andrew Camp
saw the body. who do not expect to find
the body of the young woman in the res
ervoir's basin when it shall have been eX-
posed tomorrow morning.
Their theory is that when the perpetra-
tors of the crime discovered that the body
of their victim had come to the surface
Saturday, they removed 1t from the wa
tiers Sunday night. They base their opfn-
.on on the fact that shortly after mid
night Sunday night all the dogs in the
neighborhoood were barking for about an
hour.
No one has been discovered who inves-
tigated the cause of the barking but it
is believed that it was at this time that
the body was taken from the reservoir.
The drawing of the water is a slow
process 1t was IS feet deep when the
pipe was opened. At this evening it was
six feet deep.
The officials of the company were out
to the scene cf the supposed murder For
a considerable length of time today.
The woods near the reservoir has re-
ceived a very unsavory reputation.
Scores of dastardly deeds have been
committed within cover of it's shade.

Stokes WON'T HAVE IT
He Declares Franklin Muir
ply Is the Only Repub-
liean Candidate for
Governor.
Especial to .arhe Jersey city News."1


TRENTON, Aug. 10, 19Ol.-Senator Ed
ward G. Stokes. of Cumberland County,
who has already protested against the
movement among his friends to push him
into the field as a candidate for the nomi-
nation as Governor, has issued public
letter in which he declares that there is
no candidate for Governor but State
Chairman Franklin Murphy. He declares
emphatically that Mr.. Murphy can be
elected because of the excellent record of
the Republican party, particularly in its
wise handling of the public moneys and
the distribution of $4,000 this year to les
sen the taxes of the people. His direct
references to Mr.. Murphy are as follows:
Mr.. Murphy has served his party long,
effectively and uneelhshly. In 1882 his
name wars presented 10 the convention by
Essex County, and after the nomination
of Senator kean, Mr.. Murphy, at the Sen
ator's request, consented TO take an ac-
tive part in that contest, and since that
hour he has always stood faithfully at
the post of duty.
"At the time Of the nomination of Gov
ernor VOORHEES, he felt that he was en-
titled to retire from active work, AMI
frankly expressed his wish to do SO. Tha
State Convention, however, emphatically
refused to listen to his resignation, and
enthusiastically insisted that ne still con-
tinue to give his advice and services 10
the Republican cause. How erdc6Iuliy
Mr. Murphy yielded to that universal de-
mand is we'll known to the Republicans
of this State.
''His fitness for the office is unques-
toned He is a thorough-going, pa
trlotic and up to date American citizen,
and never fails to RESPOND when called
upon by public interests. He has a
magnetic war record, enlisting as a
private when a mere boy and serving his
Country loyalty upon the field of action
a record which endears him to the hearts
of our veterans and soldiers. He has
been identified with the reform policy OF
the Republican party, which has proved
SO popular throughout the State, and
so fills the present demand for BUSH
ness man as Governor" .
