Arrested for Burglary.

For the past six months suspicion has
rested on Lewis Henry Jackson, who has
been acting as hostler for DR.. John j.
Flynn. The latter is proprietor Of drug
store, and it was the duty of Jackson to
sweep this out every morning. after the
arrival of the clerk. The scrappy negro
also had the care of the adjoining law
Office of Franklin B. Lewis. 1t became
known that Jackson would pass out of
the Lewis Office and from a rear door
would climb through transom In door
which gave him entrance to the drug
store, from which there had been missing
at various times sums of money, liquor,
cigars. toilet articles, etc. 1t was also
suspected that Jackson had key to the
store, which he obtained from bunch of
keys in Mr.. Levis's office. Dr. Flynn con-
cluded that the matter had been going on
long enough, and having no direct evil
dence against the accused, he placed the
matter in the hands of detective Parker
and constable Gaskill, who watched the
store on Thursday night, and between five
and six o'clock on Friday morning they
caught Jackson entering the place with
false key. He was Immediately arrested
and taken to Jail and the proprietor
notified. With a search warrant the
party visited Jackson's house, on West
Washington street, and in a short time
they returned with nearly enough stolen
goods to start a branch store. Jackson
was given hearing before Justice Lau-
master and committed in default of bail.
There will be session of court to-day,
when the prisoner will plead guilty and
receive his sentence.

Political Notes.

Albert M. Heulings, of Pemberton,
seeks the nomination of coroner on the
Republican ticket.
William p. Younker, of Lumberton, is
making an active canvass for the Republi-
can nomination for auditor.
George F. Harbert was in town Satur-
day, happy and smiling, Notwithstanding
his handshakes were interrupted by
sneezing owing to an attack of hay fever.
Many friends of Augustus B. Grobler,
of Pemberton, are asking him to again
enter the race for coroner He made a
good official and was very careful not to
run the county to unnecessary expense.
Six gentlemen in as many townships
who had intended to go to the Assembly
convention as delegates have reconsidered
that idea and will go to Moorestown to
aid in indicating Steward Harbert.-
Ver6una SdpheGd
The representation in the next county
convention will be less than last year.
The delegates to that body were based on
the Presidential vote, those for sthis year
are figured on the Gubernatorial vote,
which was much smaller This explains
why some townships have lost in the
number of delegates.
As was expected and desired an item in
The News touched our dear friend Fol-
well on the raw and he at once proceeded
to fay us. Unable to draw from his own
fertile brain he sent young man over
with request for the loan of the copies
of our paper for 1901 and 1902 These
were cheerfully loaned and in a short
time the messenger returned with a re-
quest for the file of 1900. This also was
sent with the message that if the editor
would designate the particular item he
was searching we would cheerfulIy tell
him where to find it. He did not need
our aid, however, but with the borrowed
ammunition he convicted us out of our
mouth" in such an effective and terrible
manner that sleep has since been out of
the question.
The value of THE News has been dem
onstrated in manner and from a source
never dreamed Of The editor of the
Mirror borrowed our files last week to
find something worth publishing in 'the
oldest paper in the county" Thanks
awfully. deah boy, and send again when
ever you want to. No matter if you do
use our hospitality for ridicule or other
like purpose; that does not hurt us and
we are absolutely certain that your very
high sense of honor does not suffer in the
least.
The situation in Ocean county over the
Assembly nomination is becoming very in
teresting Up to the present year the
handing out of patronage in that county
has been controlled by Federal effice
holder, the Senator being entirely ignored
Senator Shinn is not figurehead, nor does
he propose to be. He is a hard worker,
and feels that he is entitled to some con-
sideration. Assemblyman Holman, it is
claimed, made promises to all who asked
for them, and finally got in under the
Federal wing, going so far as to vote
in the contest for United States Senator
against Congressman Gardner, for whom
the Ocean county people have great re-
spect. So it was determined that there
must be a change and Holman must step
down and out, and from present appear
snces he will.

Few Non-residents.

Ramshackle old buildings in New Jer-
sey have taken on sudden value. Non
residents see in them loophole where
the law requiring gunners from other
states to pay license of $1O.5O annually
may be evaded.
According to the law, residents of New
Jersey who own real estate and reside in
! their holdings during any portion of the
year may get license for so cents.
Instead of paying $1,000 each year, a
dozen or hundred gunners may jointly
buy some old hut or cabin for few dol
lars and each save $40 annually thereafter.
So long as the joint ownership continues
each is freebooter.
The sudden demand for cheap buildings
has resulted in several real estate men
getting corner" on dilapidated struc.
lures, and now the cost to become free
holder in New Jersey while residing else
where is likely to be increased.
The game wardens are having difficulty
in distinguishing between residents and
nun -AoouonsS. WAOH OneJ ash gunner
if he resides in New Jersey and are
answered in the affirmative, they must
rely upon the truthfulness of the gunner
unless they know to the contrary. The
gunner may say he resides in the othel
end of the state, and unless the game
warden take him there they cannot prov,
he is nonresident.
The board of fish and game commission
ers are aroused over the fragrant viola
tions of the spirit of the law, and at thei
next meeting will ask legal advice on re
quirements for on-resident freeholdel
license

successful in distancing them. The New

Howard Mathis had charge of the tiIler,
and Samuel Leonard Sooy was the en-
gineer. Both were found to be competent
men for their positions.
The launch, which was built here under
the direction of the owners, is 40 feet long
and feet 10 inches beam. 1t draws about
80 inches. The lumber for the vessel was
all secured in this locality and most of it
was worked out by hand. The cabin is
about 20 feet long and is nicely finished
inside and out
The power for the boat is furnished by
a Lozier gasoline engine of u horse pow
er. When making its maximum revolu-
tions per minute, speed of ten miles per
hour is secured, which is remarkably fast
for the amount of horse power.
During the winter the launch will be
used in the oyster business, while in sum-
mer time it will be hired to pleasure and
fishing parties.
