Chief of Police Linderman, in Mer-
chantville, on Saturday, arrested negro

lieved to have robbed the house of Gil
bert Aitken, of Moorestown, on Thursday
night. Linderman saw the dressed
segro acting suspiciously in font of the
mansion of j. ]. Burleigh. He took him
to the Office of Justice Longstreth, where
in addition to number of pawn tickets
calling for watches and jewelry, a bank
book of Gilbert Aitken and some insur-
ance papers were found in the prisoners
pockets. As the chief started with the
man to the lookup, short distance away,
the prisoner broke loose and ran, but Lin
derman caught him and was compelled to
blackjack him into submission. Mr. Ait
ken was sent for, and identified the bank
book and papers as those stolen with lot
of valuables from his house on Thursday
The prisoner gave his name as Barney
Jordan, but was afterward identified as
Edward Sorden, who six years ago robbed
the house of j. b. Morton, of Merchant
vile, and was sentenced to three years for

Vote for Joe Bower for Sheriff This
read it before he has cast his ballot, but

larly when the candidate is a man in

a man is Joe Bower. For AZ years he has
lived right here in our midst His life,
his acts, his personal record for all these
years are before you and never has any
one said a word detrimental to him As
business man he has been successful
meeting all obligations and never wrong
ing anybody. If he has had fault it has
been that his heart has been too large anC
he might have been richer to-day had he
been meaner in his business methods
He has been on the board of education fol-
a number of years and his attention to the
duties of that position have been tireless
and to the benefit of the taxpayers. No
word of scandal has ever been breathed
against his business career. Is there any
doubt about the manner in which such
man would conduct the business of the
county? With your personal knowledge
of Joe Bower, have you any hesitancy il
pronouncing him the proper man to cleo

With the certainty of being unable to
elect their ticket the Democrats are ex
erting every effort to compass the election
of single candidate and are using all
means, many of them dishonorable, to Sc
cure the defeat of George F. Harbert, our
last resort the Democrats have issued
anonymous circulars attacking Mr.. Har-
bert, and attempting to cast discredit on
his management of the institution which
he has had charge of for the past three
years. But they have dismally failed
George F. Harbert has been a faithful
Steward. His management has been
economical and will compare favorably
with the records of previous years. No
man of common sense can expect any in
stitution to run year after year, subject to
the elements and to natural decay, and
think that they must be maintained with
out some increase in cost. We make the
assertion and challenge contradiction, that
no man in the county of Burlington could
have taken charge of the Burlington
county almshouse under the same circum-
stances which confronted George F. Har-
bert and which have continued to con-
front him during the three years of his in
cumbency and do better than he has
done. The Democratic nominee for that
office is no better fitted for the duties than
our candidate is and he would not con-
duct the Office in any better manner.
There is no need of change now, even
though the Democrats are hungry and
want office dreadfully bad Vote for
George F. Harbert.

A Faithful Official.

Auditor of the county of Burlington, who
seeks reelection, has been a faithful and
conscientious official. He has not been a
fgurehead, but has been what was intend
ed when the Office was created-a guardian
of the interests of the people Bills hand
ed to him for approval have not been
carelessly stamped correct" and then
paid, but all have been carefully exam
ined and, if necessary, pruned to the
ideas of the Auditor as he construed the
law. This, of course, has not been salts
factory to those who have been compelled
to accept the decision of the Auditor In
the matter of fees to officers in the arrest
of tramps has the pruning been most COM
plete, and all will agree that no item of
expense in this county needed more at
tention. On this line Mr.. Worrell has
saved Burlington county hundreds of dol
lars. Certainly that is not an action that
demands condemnation, on the contrary
it should meet the approval of every tax
payer in the county of Burlington. The
man who can and will do his duty regard
less of results is the man to keep in a DO
sition where he can do some good. Vote
for William w Worrell

Card from Assemb1yman Horner.
Hon. John G. Horner has not escaped
the anonymous circular and he has been
the subject of one freely distributed
throughout the county charging him with
all manner of things in connection with
the 'pure food" legislation. Mr.. Horner
answers these charges by the following:
Palmyra, N j., October 81, 1902
To the People of Burlington County:
Your attention has probably been called
to a circular issued in relation to the
Pure Food and Drug Law" in which
my name appears in anything but a COM
plimentary manner. desire to say that
the circular is as false as it is cowardly,
and the person who wrote it knew it to be
false, or else he would have had the moral
courage to sign it.
desire to ascertain the name of the
author of this circular, so that l can pros
ecute him, and will give twenty five dol,
lars to any person who will furnish proof
of the person or persons who wrote, pub
lished, and circulated it.
The pure Food and Drug Law" is not
"a creation of mine; and if it is in any wise
unjust or unduly oppressive, l would be
only too glad to do all in my power to
amend or repeal it.
Very respectfully,
JOHN G. HoRNER.

Court.

On Thursday, Judge Nixon held court
and tried the suit of Maria Riley against
the Camden and Trenton Railway Com
pany for damages sustained to her prop
erty by reason of the railway passing the
place. The men who put up the trolley
poles and wires did much as they pleased
against the remonstrances of the owner
| They cut down a large and handsome
tree. without permission and then offered
five dollars for it. When the tree fell it
| broke an iron fence and this was replaced
with one that did not suit Mrs Riley,
who was not consulted at all about the
matter. The defendants put young
man on the witness stand to prove the
amount of swaying done by cars when
running. Mr.. Chambers, counsel for de-
fence, got the witness to tell his age
which was "a years, and he admitted he
had had no experience in the matter ex-
cept such as he had gained in about a
year.
Henry s. Haines, who surveyed the
line, was also examined on the same point
and he admitted he knew nothing beyond
what he had read in papers on the subject.
The Judge ruled his testimony out. This
was an important point and with it elimin-
ated it left the case in rather a shaky shape.
The jury rendered a verdict for plaintiff
for 5000.
An indictment was found by the last
grand jury against Mr. Riley for pl acing
Instructions on the track of the trolley
company. This action grew out of the
transactions noted above. The company
put guy line on Mr. Riley's property
inside his fence and when ordered to re
move it did so, but planted it on the same
property just outside the fence. Mr.
Riley cut it down. When the fence re-
ferred to was broken by the falling tree it
was thrown outside and landed on the
track.
