HAVING disposed of the murderer, the
next question the authorities will wrestle
with will be the distribution of the rewards
in the case. One sum has gone to the
Baltimore woman who had johnson
arrested. She was entitled to the $500
for information that would lead to arrest.
1t is said the Baltimore detectives are not
allowed, under the police regulations
of that city, to receive reward for their
good work. However this may be, there is
an absolute certainty that they should be
in some way compensated, for it was
through their efforts that johnson made
the confession which placed him where he
now stands. Without that confession his
conviction on any charge greater than muir
der of the second degree would have been
more difficult. The detectives from
this neighborhood did much to get
connecting links, but the Baltimore force
did the final touch. In this instance it is
well to remember they had the man and
the opportunity. Detective Parker, of this
county, was close after johnson all the
while and had testimony that was very
valuable. but he could not get hold of the
fellow. He aided considerably, however,
and his work is entitled to consideration.
pecuniary and otherwise.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1906.


The PROSPECT of the enactment at the
present session of the Legislature of law
abolishing capital punishment in New
Jersey is not as favorable as it seemed a
few weeks ago, owing to some recent
events. 1t will not be necessary, however,
if juries return verdicts such as that given
in Newark last Thursday. The evidence
was clear and mistaken for murder in first
degree, but some of the jurymen being
opposed to hanging verdict in lesser
degree was returned and the condemned
sentenced to 80 years imprisonment. There
were 8, 212 homicides in the United States
last year and the legal executions 1873. 1t
does not seem worth while to make any
extra effort to abolish capital punishment

The new filter plant has been completed, !
nd was placed in operation last week by
the contractors, for the purpose of giving |
1t thorough test before turning it over to
the water company, which will be done in !
a few days. The cost of the plant was
$4,000.
The fifteenth annual meeting of the
Moorestown Field Club was held on Tues.
day evening, at which time the reports
of the various committees were read and
plans discussed for the coming season.
The past year has been the most prosper
GUS one in the history of the organization,

seph T. Bacon.
Just fifty years ago ON Wednesday Evan
B. Brown and wife were married in Moores-
town, by Rev. Mr.. Fendell, pastor of the
Baptist church. They celebrated their
golden wedding at the home of their son,
where they entertained thirty friends and
relatives at a wedding dinner and many
more In the evening. After their marriage
they resided in Moorestown for a number
of years, and for some time conducted q
store with Mr. Browns brother, Charles NJ

The Republican, on Wednesday, had this
editorial:
The communication of Mrs Florence
Spencer Hunt in the last issue of the
Chronicle" would have been better un-
published If 1t was the desire of the author
to defend Edward Jenkins and lift from his
shoulders the condemnation he so
justly received from the better element
of the colored race as we'll as from the
white residents for his untimely speech in
Progressive Club Hall, on the evening
of January 90. The motive inspiring the
article is plainly evidently to all who read
between the lines. Infiammatory speeches
of the character delivered by jenkins can.
not be tolerated in this or any other self re-
specting community, and all who uphold
such actions only bring further discredit
on themselves as well as the guilty party
1t is misguided kindness to barbor and
pamper such characters which must even
tually bring undesirable results"

by allegations of very serious character.
The commissioners, as well as the public,
have been repeatedly disappointed in not
seeing the new works in full operation.
Since last Fall, every date reported for
the opening of the plant, proved disap-
pointment, and the city has not vet for
mally accepted the same. This has pro-
duced crop of rumors which. in Justice
to all concerned. should be set at rest.
The commissioners, however, present their
annual report to the public, but with no
explanation as to the delay in obtaining
pure water. So the probing of the allega-
lions made in the affair is left to the legal
procedure mentioned above, and the sooner
the matter is settled the better it will suit
the water consumers and tax payers
