PRAISE FOR MR.. THORNE.
From Friday's Daily.

Stephen Thorne, clerk of the district
court, has received at the hands of the
county press, more compliments and
praise for the able manner in which he
has discharged the duties of his office,
than any other county officer, past or
present, ever received. The Herald
heartily concurs in the general senti-
ment prevailing in regard to the reelec-
ton of Mr.. Thorne. It will be an act
of folly for anyone to run against him.
1t must be great source of pride and
satisfaction to Mr. Thorne to be thus en-
dorsed-Amboy Herald.

The central station boys were called to
the City Hotel at midnight last night
where there was small blaze in a room
on the fourth floor. 1t was thought that
someone had been smoking and had
carelessly thrown down the stub of a
cigarette in corner, and that this had
started the fire. The hotel force got the
fire out before much damage was done.
although the blaze was not discovered
until the heat had become so great as to
crack the window lights. The carpet
and woodwork were burned and black
ened with smoke, and wet down with
water.
