BORDEN WAS
COMMITTED.
Said He Was Not Guilty but AT er
Hearing Evidence Changed
His Mind.

The testimony presented at hear
ing Thursday before Justice Arthur
Mulford, convinced the magistrate
and the defendant, that Charles Bor-
den had stolen watch from the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Bauman.
who live in this city. The evil
dence went to show that on the
night of the Red Mems demon
stration in this city, that Borden vis-
tied the Bauman house and after he
had gone watch and chain were miss
ing.
Justice Mulford, who, by the way,
has developed into one Of the best
magistrates in the city, made thor
ough investigation of the whole mat
ter yesterday afternoon at the Sheriff S
office
Borden, when brought before the
Justice pleased not guilty. The JUS
tice then built up case that finally
convinced Borden that he was guilty.
Constable Cresswell, who was early
called in the case, said that from the
first he suspected Borden, and at the
time accused the defendant, but he
had strenuonsly denied it. Upon COM
plaint, he arrested Borden, and pro-
cured from him pawn ticket, and
visiting pawn shop at Second and
Lombard streets, Philadelphia, Sc
cured the stolen watch.
Charles Rose had talked with Bor-
den about the matter, and while the
defendant insisted that he was inno-
cent, Borden told him he was going
to skip.
An Italian, Nicholas Cassario, pre-
sented the stolen chain and said that
Borden had sold it to him for 81. %,
and it was further shown that the
piece of jewelry was worth S18.
AT this time both the Justice and
Borden were convinced that the watch
had been stolen and that the right
man had been arrested. Borden said
he had decided to tell the truth about
the whole matter, and wanted, at this
time, to plead guilty.
Bail was fixed at $500 and Borden
was committed to Jail because he
couldn't furnish it.

MAYOR HAMPTON
HANDLES A DRUNK,
The City's Chief Magistrate Sees
a Drunken Fellow Obstruct-
ing the Highway and Turns

Cop.
Mayor George Hampton proved him
self proficient as a policeman Saturday
night when he collared William Tom
linson for being drunk, and hustled
him to the cooler.
The Mayor was going out Pearl street
from Commerce and noticed Tomlin-
son staggering in the street. He was
kept in the station house over night
and Sunday morning paid his fine.
Saturday night at eight O'Clock a
fellow named Thomas Daley called at
the City Hall. He raped at the front
door and made whole lot of noise.
He was admitted and being very drunk
was escorted right on through to the
lookup where he enjoyed the comforts
of the little habitation until Sunday
morning when he was given four days.
This fellow was drunk sure; he had
been out for good time, as he ex-
pressed it, and had the fluids that ap-
parently would yield the desired effect
He had three bottles of mixed drinks
A half pint flask contained witch
hazel, another sixteen ounce oval
bottle was partly filled with the same
stuff, and a third, Rumford's s yeast
powder bottle, was half filled with a
mixture, iaudanum and alcohol.
Then another affair was Strengthened
out or partly so. Mr.. and Mrs.
George Hughes were passing down
Warren street to Laurel, when col
ored fellow supposed to be Paul Sax
ton. insulted Mrs. Hughes. Mr..
Hughes then jumped into the assail-
ant of his wife and fistic encounter
took place. Mr.. Hughes was arrested
but allowed to go as soon as an ex-
planation was made Saxton escaped
but was afterward arrested and held
in 800 for hearing. The defendant
denied the charge.
A forlorn looking man who had the
appearance of not possessing one
friend in the world was dragged 'tc
the lookup in pitiable condition.
This fellow gave his name as "Sham
rock, or as I am known otherwise,
John l.. Sullivan, ''said the man. He
was flushed and paid 81. 25 to go free
Sunday morning.
Frank Sheets, drunk No 4, was
pinched for being intoxicated and held
in his own recognizance for hearing.
He strongly denied being drunk and
gave evidence of telling the truth.
Mayor Hampton thought it best to
hold him until testimony could be re-
ceived from the officer who arrested
him. Policemen Gaun, Betchner, and
Smith were on duty Saturday night
to look after down town which was
surely wide open.

THE NEW PASTOR.
Rev. A. s. Allyn Warmly We'll
coined at the Berean Baptist
Church,

The reception rendered Rev. and
Mrs. A. S. Allyn, at the Berean Bap-
tist Church Thursday night, must have
been very pleasing to the pastor, for
it was warm and earnest and the rev.
erend gentleman and his wife were
assured of pleasant relations with the
church and its people.
Miss Mable Hancock rendered a
very delightful solo, and was followed
by bright chorus by the choir Unan
behalf of the Board of Deacons, Mr..
Isaac Mulford welcomed Rev. Mr..
Allyn, and for the trustees, Mr.. Ben
jamin Hancock supplemented the
greeting. The welcome of the Sun
day School was extended by W. Ed
ward Cox.
Mr.. Allyn responded feelingly ex-
pressing his pleasure with the gener-
ous welcome aud assuring his hearty
appreciation of the efforts to make
himself and family feel perfectly at
home.
Miss Clara Wallen recited, and
after most delightful social time the
entire assemblage enjoyed refresh
ments served in the chapel.

OFFICER SMITHS
PLUCKY CAPTURE.
He Oyerp0wers Samuel Swift, a
Notorious Man, Wanted for
Two Charges.

Officer Smith is plucky man.
Monday afternoon he demonstrated
the fact by making capture. His
victim was Samuel Swift, twenty-one
years of age, notorious character
who has been wanted for some time
by the local authorities.
Swift was indicted by the recent
Grand Jury for assault and battery
and slipped an officer while being al
lowed to change his clothing at his
home. Until yesterday he kept hid
from those looking for him and being
a desperate man showed fight immedi-
ately after being seen by Mr.. Smith
who for several days has been hunt
ing for him in North Bridgeton. Yes
terday a visit to the Cumberland
Glass works proved successful, for
there the defendant was found, but
not taken without trouble. He was
told to halt, but needed not the COM
mand and Smith went after him.
Swift attempted to shoot his pursuer,
but to no avail, the man was too
quick for him and a blow with the
club caused Swift to drop his weapon.
He did not give up, then, however,
but fought tiercely and before being
overpowered tore the boot from the
policeman g leg. He was taken to Jail
and placed in the custody of the
Sheriff.
The assault and battery charge was
not the only one against him. It is
alleged that he is the one that COM
mitted the robbery of the auction
store of Meyer Gorson ON South Laurel
street and is being held to answer the
charge.

OCEAN CITY PEOPLE
IN SOME TROUBLE.
Been Gathering up Mating from
the Wreck of the Sindia,
and Now Called Upon to Pay.

Ocean City, N. j., Feb. MANY
residents of Ocean City who gathered
rolls of Japanese mating from along
the beach recently as they were
washed ashore from the wrecked ship
Sindia, have now been called upon to
pay for every roll they picked up.
The custom officials and Board of Un-
derwriters have retained Attorney A.
@. Boswell, of Ocean City. and he has
published notice in a local paper,
warning all parties having mating
from the Sindia in their possession to
appear before him and pay for the
same at the rate of 81 cents per roll.
Many persons who gathered mating
from the beach disposed of it at so
cents per roll. Those who purchased
the mating are in quandary, as they
will either have to return the same or
pay 81 cents roll for it. Trouble is
liable to result over the matter.

John G. SAKE, the poet wit. attended
a dag raising at Greenbush. n little
place across the river from Albany.
during the civil war and made an elo-
quent speech in which he praised the
young men Of Greenbush for showing
their patriotism by exerting themselves
to procure the star spangled banner.
This did not altogether please the
chairman. who whispered to him that
the young ladies of Greenbush had
also been instrumental in raising funds
for the purchase of the flag
Thereupon SAKE. addressing the
young ladies, made them graceful
and gallant apology for not Including
them in his praise. 81 don't know how
I came to make such a mistake" he
explained. "save as may have been
laboring under the impression that the
young men of Greenbush embraced the
young Indies of Greenbush."
