Constable Lee Jenkins of McLennan
county arrived in the city from Waco
yesterday and left last night. having
in custody Perry Evans, a negro,
aged about 80 years, who is wanted
in Waco on a charge of highway rob-
berry Evans was in the employ OF
d. ]. Woodward here as family
coachman and steadfastly denied
that he is the man wanted in Waco
Evans was traced TO San Antonio in
rather odd manner, and his mother
was responsible for his arrest. She
had received message from him to
the effect that he was here sick and
when she left Waco the officers there
followed mp her movements and on
learning that she was destined for
San Antonio they opened communi-
cation with the officers here, which
resulted in Evans arrest. Evans
was arrested here Wednesday night
by Constable Stevens.

the hounds belonging to a raod

seemed to strike a trail at the place
where the assault was made, which
they followed about three miles to
Chambers Creek and lost, presuma-

West Jerseys improvements.

II
Prof. George H. EokeIs and the
Board OF Trustees of West Jersey
Academy Eave planned certain i'm
proyements for the school building.
Some OF them will be begun next
week. others will follow later.
A door will be cut at the rear of the
general assembly room so as to have
entrance without passing through the
main hail. Steps will be placed there
and the convenience it makes should
be great. The day students will use
1t most. This is the first thing to be
done.
Two bath rooms with modern toilet
facilities will be installed on the third
floor.
The heating system will be replaced.
It is most unsatisfactory in the pres
ent condition. This means the tear
ing out of pipes and boiler and having
new ones there.
These are the improvements now
planned for, but there may be others.
P1of, Eckels fully understands the
needs and with his aggressive spirit
Will have old West Jersey in better
shape next year than ever before.
There is a bright future ahead, appar
entity.

FREEHOLDERT In
MID-SUMMER MEET

The midsummer, regular July
meeting was held Wednesday in the
Court House, the session being held
as usual in the Freeholders room on
the first floor.
The July meeting is usually devoted
to routine affairs of the county. There
is not much in the way Of new bust
ness at this session, and the Board is
usually through by the noon-time ad-
journment.
When the Board convened this
morning, few minutes after ten
O'Clock, all of the twenty county leg
1slators were present, with Jere N.
| Ogden, the director presiding.
After the reading of the minutes OF
the previous session and the approval
OF the same, the Board took up the
budget of bills, all of which had
been carefully audited by the finance
/ committee yesterday, and these claims
against the county were ordered paid
Various committees made repsrts OF

There are several such committees,
and most of them reported that the

ARRESTS MADE
FOR TRAIN WREChING,

Some time last May, in the neigh.
borhood of Landisville, a Central rail.
road freight train was wrecked by
somebody opening a switch. The
damage to the railroad company was
something more than six thousand
dollars. The indications were that
the disaster was caused by somebody
for the purpose of revenge.
Since then detectives have been
working upon the case, and the result
of the efforts of the secret service
men, led to warrants being issued last
week by Justice of the Peace Charles
Fielding, for four Italians. The war.
rants were placed in the hands of
State Detective Frank j. Lore, con.
tables Aaron Smith and Lorenzo D.
Woodruff.
Saturday night the officers went to
Millville and located the quartette
wanted at Union Lake Park. The
three officers swooped down upon the
party and made the arrest so quickly
that there was no opportunity to es.
cape.
Three of the men were armed, but
handouts were slipped upon them and
the revolvers taken from them.
The men we're brought to Bridgeton
and locked up in the city station
house. They gave their names as
James D. White, Joseph W. Riley,
Thomas Fonotaro and William De-
Luca.
Later the men were committed to
the county Jail by Justice Fielding in
default of $1,000 bail each.
Fonotaro was given an opportunity
to tell what he knew about the case,
and he promptly confessed everything,
duplicating De Luca. The latter de.
clared his innocence, and said he
would be able to extricate himself all
right from the difficulty in which he
was.
The men are charged with malicious
mischief and chicken stealing.
A later date will be arranged for
hearing.

Taken Inventory.

Receiver, Henry T. Ridgeway, has
taken an Inventory of the glass bottle
factory at Swedesboro, N. J.; which
shows that there is about $4,000 due
workmen, including the "back pay" of
apprentices. Since there is blanket
mortgage on the planti it is not expect
ed that creditors will get much. Some
years ago the works were started on d
cooperative basis, and they never
were what could be termed bowling
success. Eventually dissentions arose
among the stockholders and many
withdrew. Then fire crippled the
company, and during the past year a
poor showing was made by those in
charge Of the plant.

City Can Own Lighting Plant


Trenton, July 6.-Governor Stokes
signed to-day the bill of Assembly
man Jones of Camden, enabling that
city to construct and maintain a
municipal light, heat and power
plant. This measure was strongly
supported in the Legislature by the
Camden Assemblymen. and in the
Senate it was championed by Presi-
dent Bradley, who took the floor in
it's behalf. Its purpose is to relieve
Camden from the tentacles of the
Public Service Corporation. which
controls the lighting and power plants
of Camden.
The Governor vetoed the municipal
ownership bill of Assemblyman
Wright, giving as his reason that a
similar measure has already been ap-
proved. He called attention to the
contradictory and overlapping bills
of this sort passed at the recent ses-
sion. He suggests the grouping of
all municipal ownership measures in
comprehensive and general NUM-
cipal ownership act.
