Somebody broke into the Water street
laundry on Friday night, and not being
able to find anything that could be easily
carried away, they vented their disap-
pointment by taking all the machinery
apart. The proprietor had hard work to
repair the damage. and was compelled
to work on Sunday in order to be ready
for this weeks business
"The Captivity of Israel in Babylon,
her return and restoration" is made the
basis for a series of Sabbath evening
sermons at the Methodist Episcopal church
by the Pastor, Rev. George NJ. Hughes.
The speaker desires to present the life and
action of the leaders from modern view,
making the subject as practicable as pos
sible. You are invited to be present.
Thieves have been operating in this
county for about year and up to date
have succeeded in escaping arrest. De-
tective Parker has been looking after them
but they seem to keep out of his way
There appear to be two of them. and
they operate between noon and three
O'Clock. They go to house and knock
on the door. If their summons ia answer.
ed they ask for something to eat. If no
one responds they enter the house
when IT appears to be safe to do so.
One of the men is described as five feet,
six inches high, with a small black mus
tache, the other is five feet, nine inches,
smooth face and rough skin. Both have
dark compilations. and are about 80 years
of age. On Saturday, they entered houses
at Vincentown and Hedding. If these
fellows come around your premises send
word to the local authorities at once.

! RESOLVED, That the Committee be instruct
ed to confer with the Sheriff, ExlSheriffs and
such other officials as may be necessary,
to gain the desired information.
I RESOLVED, That the Committee be instruct
ed not to proceed with the erection of the pro-
posed Hospital in the Jail Yard until their
report under this resolution shall have been
acted upon.
Mr.. Brick did not like the idea of hav-
ing the State Board of Health and of
Charities being consulted, as was proposed
in the resolution originally. He did not see
how they could help matters any. Others
are just as competent. If either of those
bodies came here it would be inviting
trouble. The resolution was amended so
as to exclude foreign assistance and was
so adopted.
The Public Service Corporation applied
for permission to lay pipes along improved
roads in Cinnaminson township and also
asked that while this matter was under
consideration the question of getting into
any road be considered The Corporation
expressed willingness to put up bond
for any amount to replace the road ia
good shape but suggested that the amount
be not over s., 900. This was adopted.
Mr.. Wittmeyer moved to go into an
election for Superintendent of the Insane
Asylum. He nominated for the unexpired
term of Charles Fl. Deacon. the latter's
son, G. Clarence Deacon. This was Sec
onded by Mr.. Ebert. and on motion, there
being no other candidate, the clerk was
directed to cast the ballot, and Mr.. Deacon
was declared elected. The term will ex-
pire in May, 1907.
A petition was presented signed by
many residents along the line of desired
stone road from Hartford to Fairview,
who expressed willingness to paw ten
per cent of the cost. Messrs. Hilton,
Evans. Brick, Wilkins and Horner were
appointed committee to look this over.
A representative of the Delaware and
Atlantic Telephone Company asked per-
mission to tear up those parts of Wash
fngton and High streets under the control
OF the county in order to lay wires for
their telephones. They offered to put up
a bond of $1,000, but evidently regretted
1t as there was another proposition in
few moments asking that the bond be
1000. On motion of Mr. Wittmeyer this
this was acceded to, with an additional
Proviso that the Corporation pay the resi-
dent freeholder for supervising the work.
The bond of County Auditor Worrell |
for 81 900, with himself and Joseph c. |
Kingdom as sureties, was approved and
the board adjourned

There was an alarm of fire, about
noon on Wednesday. The FIRE was
at the home of John Loveman, on Mill
street, and 1t was pretty well under way
when the fire company arrived, but it was
extinguished in half an hour. Consider
able damage was done both to the house
and furniture. 1t is not known how the
fire started, but one of the small children,
who was sick, had been left alone in the
house for few minutes, while the oldest
girl went for medicine, and the little fell
low says that while he was lying on the
lounge he noticed basket afire near the
stove, and picked it up to throw 1t out of
the houae, but missing the door, it caught
upon supper and!seeing the blaze he be-
came frightened and gave the alarm.

Samuel r. Ware, life long resident
Of this place, was stricken with apoplexy,
while attending a meeting of the Board
of Freeholders, in the Court House,
at Mount Holly, on Tuesday. He was
removed to the home of Benjamin W.
Zelley, relative, where he remained I'M
conscious until Friday afternoon, when he
died. He was removed to his home here
Friday evening, from which place his
funeral services will be held to-day at II.
Mr.. Ware was one of the leading citizens
and business men of this town. He was
well and favorably known throughout
the entire county, and during his business
and professional career had made hosts
of friends For 20 years he was passen-
ger and freight agent of the Pennsylvania
railroad company here, which position he
filled with credit to himself and to the
company.
In March. 1898, he was appointed post
master, which position he was still hold
ing at the time of his death. He was the
junior member of the firm of Townsend &
Ware, coal and feed dealers. Mr.. Ware
was identified with almost every enterprise
that had for its object the building up
of his home town. Honest, fearless and
energetic he accomplished much for the
town, and his loss will be felt by the entire
community.
He leaves widow, but no children nor
near relatives. He was model husband,
an excellent citizen and firm friend,
and all who knew him will unite in offering
to his family the sincerest sympathy in
their great loss.
