COL Alfred Jones Visited This City Yesterday but Few Faces Were

been IN THE WEST.

After an absence from Perth Amboy
of about thirty years. Col Alfred
Jones, formerly editor of the Mid6
sex County Democrat, which he est
lished in this city before the ciS
war, returned here yesterday for y
few hours.
Before the war Col. Jones was
known around here as a red hot Demo
crat. He was nominated on that
ticket for member of assembly, from
this district, but was defeated. All
of the old timers of Perth Amboy re-
member him well, and when they
heard that he returned they NbeRaH
telling stories of the old days. %one
of these is that years ago, Dol. Jones
took party to Metuchen where he
was to speak, he being at that time
one of the most prominent speakers in
town. He had promised to give them
all good supper, it is said, after the
speechmaking, but when it was all
over, the colonel had disappeared, so
the crowd from this city helped them
selves at the first baker shop they
found and it was up to COL Jones to
settle when he came along.
Col. Jones left here about thirty
years ago because of his health and
since then he has been in California.
In going about town yesterday, he
was helped along by companion, for
the colonel is now very feeble and
nearly blind. To /sume,-at the old
timers he spoke Of the growth -
CITY, and seemed surprised that
SO large.
He left town last night for Ell
beth, where he is visiting his dauR
er, Mrs. Charles McGinty. He gaine@
his title of Colonel during the civil
war when he was at the head of q
regiment of soldiers from this district.
In Col. Jones day, State street was
the western limit of the city.

er Interesting Matters Taken up and
Debated

The Middlesex County Medical
Society met at the home of DR.. W. V.
Mckenzie, Metuchen,s yesterday.
Those present from this city were
Drs. W. 4. Ramsay, J. G. Wilson, j.
L. Lund, II. M. Brace, G. W. Fithian,
Henry Levy and W. P. Keasbey.
It was the largest and best attended
meeting that the society has held fol
some time. Dr. St. Clair Towsie, o1
New York, was present and gave ar
exhibition of the X-Ray. DR.. Jane
way, of New Brunswick, gave an ex
hibition of cures. A paper on nasa
breathing and some Of the disturb
ances thereof, was read by DR.. A. O.
CLARK, of New Brunswick.
The society is we'll pleased with the
way the work is going. When they
first organized it was not uncommon
to find illegal practitioners, and mid
wives were hard at work, but they
are decreasing in many of the places
in the county. Perth Amboy still hat
her share of them, however, but the
society expects soon to get after them
DR.. Ramsay told News reporter thai
he believed over fifty per cent Of the
births in this city were not reported.
This, he said, was because midwives
handled the cases and they were
afraid to say anything about birth
for fear of getting into trouble.
After the meeting yesterday the
doctors had refreshments and a goo6
time. The next meeting will be helo
in January at place to be set by the
business committee.

CHIEF OF POLICE
MAKING RAIDS ON
THE SLOT MACHINE.
Finds Numerous Gambling Devices Vicinity of the Schools where
Children Can Play for Penny for the Hope of Winning More
Oter Machines Taken From Saloons Defective Huff Out To-
day Making the Collection Larger

Men have been known to kill and
rob to gain money, but when it comes
to robbing little children of their
pennies by faked-up game of chance,
these men cease to be men and are
criminals of the lowest type. Not
only are the children systematically
robbed, but they imbibe the gambling
spirit and worse, the thriving spirit
of taking small change from their
elders when their pennies give out.
Yesterday Chief Burke received
word from a small boys father about
well fashioned machine designed to
swindle small children out of their
pennies. The chief investigated and
he found near every school in the
city, particularly near those in the
northern and western parts, machines
of this type in the small candy and
stationery stores. The game is simply
the old slot machine contrivance dis
guised, but the chief, wishing to
prove to himself as to the swindling
part, played a machine. Seven pen.
MES he played and all drew blanks.
To play the machine one must drop q
cent and it works to the bottom
through number of nails stuck up
right. At the bottom are number
of holes, blank and winning numbers.
In front of each of the winning mum.
bers is pin placed there to keep out
the money. To look at it the chance
of winning looks good, because there
are but few blanks, but the good
numbers are fixed so that small boy
or girl comes in to buy a penny pencil

and seeing chance to7get from 81 to
8 cents worth for his pennies, invests
his cent and as the thing is arranged
so he can win only once in thous-
and, he generally loses.
These machines have appeared since
the fall term opened and have reaped
a good harvest. This is proven by
the rate they were increasing. De-
teotive Huff is now working to find
more machines. The game is SO
apparent and the result so evident
that the police are putting an end to
it at once.
The chief also found two slot
machines in saloons. They are now
at the station house. One was taken
from a saloon in North Amboy and
another from saloon in West Amboy,
yesterday afternoon. The chief has
learned that company was trying to
place new system of machines here
and the scheme was nipped in the
bud. Two machines with about $75
apiece were confiscated. Upon enter
ing the suspected places the chief ask
ed what the machines were and wish
ed to play, but the bartenders claimed
no knowledge, saying they had been
placed there by outside parties and
were out of order at present. They
were taken to the station house. On
the top of each is a sign saying the
rewards will be in cigars. At the
bottom is little round hole for money
to drop out. One may win from 8
cents to 81. The machines will be
broken up.
