Plain snenl,inr Preacher

Father Taylor was a famous sailor
preacher in Boston many years ago.
said an old resident of Boston. ION
one occasion an Opulent merchant Of
the Hub had honored the meeting with
his presence and made a speech ex-
tollins the kindness of Boston people in
building Father Taylors chapel and
their consideration for the poor sailors.
when he had finished Father Taylor
remarked quietly, Is there any other
old sinner from uptown who would like
to say word before we go on with the
meeting? No other old sinner respond
ed.
Another time in the midst Of an ex-
citing state campaign Father Taylor
took politics into the pulpit in this wise.
He prayed: % Lord, give us good men
TO rule over us. pure men who fear
thee, religious men, temperate men,
Lord, what's the use Of
veering and hauling and boxing around
the compass? Give US George n. Biggs
for governor. Amen

MILLVILLE BAKER
ROBBED OF $4,000
Fred. Radel Forced to Open His Safe
by Masked Men.
ESCAPED WITH TIE CASE

Millville, n. J., Feb. 27-Fred Radel,
baker of this city was held up in
his yard by two masked men, who
gagged him and carried him into his
home, where, at the point of a revolver,
they compelled him to open his safe,
from which they secured $4,000 in cash.
After finishing the nights baking,
Radel went to the barn in the rear of
his bake shop and began to hitch up a
horse. He was seized from behind by
a colored man, and then followed a
tussle, which was ended by the appear
ance Of a slender whits man, who
promptly gagged Radel. Ehen the two
robbers, each seizing an arm, marched
Radel into his home. where they COM
manded him to open the safe.
Radel at first refused to do this,
whereupon the white man. producing a
revolver, threatened to kill Radel if he
did not comply. Radel manipulated the
combination and the white man secured
money in cash to the amount of nearly
$4,000. Both robbers then fed.
Radel was so wrouSat up that he
was unable to give an accurate descrip-
tion of either of the men except that
both wore masks and that one was a
white man and the other a colored
man, weighing about 200 pounds Ra-
del's description of the men tallies in
some particulars with that of the men
who robbed and murdered a baker at
Phoenixville several weeks ago. Both
local and county authorities were placed
on the case.
A baker for Radel was at work in
the baker shop the whole time that the
robbery was going on, but so silently
was the job done that his suspicious
were never once attracted.
The stolen money was received by |
Radel from an insurance company in |
settlement of losses by a brick kiln fire. |
On Saturday Radel cashed the insur-
eanc company's check but took the |
money home. as he does not believe in
banks, and did not wish his friends to
know about his business affairs. It is
supposed that the robbers learned of
the money and carefully planned the
robbery.

SMALL MIGHT SAVE JOHNSON
Negroes Confession Puts New Aspect
On Murder Case.

On Murder Case.
Mt. Holly, N. J., Feb. 26.-A strong
case will be established against
George Small, who confesses the muir
der of Miss Allinson, and when Prose
cutor Atkinson finishes the investiga-
degree of the crime of which the negro
is guilty. As to the conviction of Rufus
johnson, there arises some doubt, since
Small in his confession assumed prac-
tically all the responsibility Of the
actual murder For the sake Of argu-
ment alone the question has now been
raised whether life Imprisonment
could not be properly applied in John
sons case. There are some who favor
a movement to carry JohnsOn's case to
a higher court on a writ of error, but
others are satisfied that no moral or
legal error has been made and are
willing to accept the unlawful act as
it is contemplated by the statute
murder accompanying conspiracy to
rob being murder in the first degree.
