had plenty Of opportunity to make a thor
ough search Of the rooms.
They took advantage of the Opportunity
and ransacked the closets and bureaus on

turned last night at 10 o'clock the place
looked as though a cyclone had struck II.

that entrance had been gained by forcing
open the cellar door ana the thieves had
evidently escaped through a rear window

WOMAN ATTACKED
Unknown Victim of Negro Assailant in

Fled-Man Did, Too.

A young woman whose name could not
De learned was attacked by an unknown
man. said to have been a negro, at Hill
side avenue and Clark street, Glen Ridge,
late last night. The woman's screams
aroused the neighborhood and brought a
number of people to the scene.
Both man and woman disappeared in the
direction of Bloomfield before Chief of

purse of money which ahe carried in her
hand. Both Bloomfield and Glen Ridge
are much in need of more police to patrol
the outskirts of the town and borough,
and the authorities will be asked to take
some action that will lead TO an Increase

BRIDGETON, Aug. 1.-The 2OOth ami

yesterday, a very large number OF people
from all about South Jersey gathering
about the historic edifce.

by a preacher whose name was Black
He was well-known to be a Presbyterian
minister in America previous to 1900 and
labored in West Jersey and Lewes, Del.
As there is no record that Mr.. Black
labored elsewhere than at Greenwich, and
as the left Greenwich for Lewes, Del, in
1708. it is felt to be conclusive that the
Greenwich church was not founded later
than 1907. Unfortunately all the records
have been burned.
