BURGLAR ALARM
SAVED CHICKENS
John ". Fraim'S Plymouth
Rocks Tempted PTOwIerS.
Who We're RepuISed

Despite the fact that farmers IN the
vicinity have become aroused to the
extent Of proposing rural police
force, petty thefts at Talleyville con-
tinue. The latest visit was this morn
ing at o'clock. when miscreants at
tempted to break into the chicken
house Of John w. Fraim at Talley-
vile.
Mr.. Fraim's chicken house shelters
15O valuable Plymouth rocks. Luckily,
the house was protected by an eff
cient burglar alarm and when the
thieves began to cut the wire sur
rounding the coop, the alarm went off
with a whirr that brought Clarence
Fraim, the owners son, out to tho
chicken house with a shot gun. Noise
frightened the thieves and young
F'raim could not see to take a shot
at them as they scurried away in the
darkness.
None OF the chickens was taken and
the only damage was the cutting of
the wire around the coop. Chicken
thieves have been busy around Talley-
Vile during the last month and nearly
all chicken owners there have Install
ed alarms i'm their ooops or have bought
dogs 10 guard them.

GARTER CLASP,
MURDER CLUE
Identity Of Young Woman
Slain in River Swamp
Not Established
~ rHE JouRNAL.g gpaaIal wlre.

HARRISON. n. j., Dec. 27.--A piece
Of metal slightly larger than an ordi-
nary scent piece, but bearing indented
In it's face some peculiar hieroglyphics
distinctly uncommon, may yet clear
up the murder mystery surrounding
the finding OF the nude body Of a wo-
man in the Passaic river swamp. 1t
is a garter clasp, buN different in sew
eral respects from those ordinarily
used, and the police hope some friend
OF the dead woman will see It and dis
close the victims identity. For until
the woman Is absolutely identified the
officers must stand and wait.
The police pin their hopes on this
garter clasp because IL has already
been shown impossible to use the coat
found near the body as a clue. 1t was
purchased in a Brooklyn store, but
there Is no record Of the sale and many
similar coats were sold.
IL viii require the autopsy to be held
to-day TO determine whether a crime
other than murder was committed be-
fore the woman was slain. The police
theory is that the case parallels the
Bosschietcr case of a decade ago. They
think the woman was drugged and
carried to the place where the body
was found She apparently was not
strangled. The body was dragged some
200 yards from the road way before
being finally abandoned after being
stripped.
Saw Man and Woman.
Peter Coogan, night watchman, tells
the best story Of the crime. Christ
mas night he saw a man and a woman,
the latter answering the description Of
the dead woman, coming from the
Pennsylvania station. The woman
staggered but stuck close to her male
companion. He was short and OF
powerful build. An hour later he re-
turned from the swamp carrying a
bundle. Coogan spoke to him and he
gave a surly reply.
The man was the murderer, the po-
lice say. Chief OF Police Rogers De-
lieves the bundle contained clothing,
the more intimate pieces that bore
laundry marks. and that he took them
from the scene TO hide his crime.
Pictures Of the body were taken to-
day to aid Identification. and the po-
lice Of Harrison. Newark and Jersey
City have all Of their reserves on the
case

TROUGH FEEDING.
A Poultry Writer Mentions Some
Drawbacks TO the Plan.
~---.--r,-,--;,---SS-@S-'-,,>S~,,SSss'S~->-~~-

Drawbacks TO the Plan.
There are domineering hens in every
flock Of fowls, and these keep the
timid ones in fear and subjection to a
greater or lesser extent, says the Agri-
cultural Epitomist.
When food is given in a trough
where the hens can eat their I'LL the
domineering ones keep some Of the
others back and often eat twice as
much as their share, while the less for
tunate ones do not get enough to salts
fy either their desires or their needs.
The best way out Of this difficulty
Is not to use trouGAs at all, but to
scatter the grains in some sort OF
litter and compel every hen to scratch
and hunt for her share, thus giving
them all an equal chance. 1t is better
to feed In litter that the hens may be
compelled to take time to pick up their
food rather than stuff their crops en-
tirely full in just a few minutes, as
they will then digest a much larger
proportion of the food consumed, and
the good exercise they thus secure will
serve to keep them in a good healthy
condition, and they will therefore be
less liable TO disease.
Troughs or their equivalent are nee
essary, however, where soft food is
fed. But to-avoid monopoly by a few
1t is better to have several small
troughs placed at different points than
to have only one large trough and put
all the feed in this.

MUCH TYPHOID
NOW in The CITY

Prominent physicians say that there
is more typhoid fever in Wilmington
than usual and that the fever is in It's
most malignant form. Many cases are
attributed to the prevalence Of grip.
The city drinking water is said by
physicians 70 be responsible for what
they pronounce an incipient epidemic.
Physicians are warning patients to
boil all their drinking water. The
water being distributed to the city is
not filtered, owing TO the shutting Off
of the water 70 the filter because of
construction work now going on.
The records Of the Board of Health
do not bear out the physicians state

Stricken with apoplexy while On his
way to attend a Christmas dinner,
Wesley Thomas, Of this place, lay in
the woods near here and was nearly
pocked to death by buzzards before
beng found by passersby, after having
lain by a deserted roadside nearly
eighteen hours.
Thomas, who is about 66 years old,
lives by himself in a cabin buried sew
eral miles in the deep swainps near
here. The loneliness Of the man arous-
ed the sympathies Of his nearest neigh
bors, five miles away. and they in
vited him to attend their Christmas
dinner.
He Did Not Come.
The dinner was prepared and Thomas
had not appeared For nearly an hour
the hungry family awaited his coming,
and finally sat down TO their turkey
and cranberries with a plate at the
vacant plaLe, expecting every moment
for him 20 put in his appearance.
Night came and still Thomas had
rc~ arrived.
At 7sO o'clock the next morning,
Clay Truitt, who was out cunning.
noticed a large flock of birds flying
around. The peculiar squawk Of the
birds was sufficient for Truitt to know
that something unusual was going on.
On making an investigation he was
horrihed TO see Thomas lying near a
ditch totally helpless and in an uncon-
scious state as a result of his terrible
experience. His face and neck were
fearfully peclIed in deep holes and
blood flowed freely from the numerous
wounds
It was only after a severe battle with
the buzzards, in which he himself was
attacked that Truitt managed with the
aid of his gun to rescue Thomas. who
is now confined at the home of George
Willets, and his condition is such that
he is not expected to recover

Ducks on tho Farm.

The notion is still prevalent that
ducks cannot be raised well without
free access to water. This has been
repeatedly shown to be erroneous so
far as the improved sorts are concern
ed. Many Of the largest breeders have
only wells, and the water supplied for
drinking purposes is all they receive.
Yet just as many birds are raised, the
only perceptible difference being that
the water birds have a little finer
plumage. But the difference is lost

One pound Of cut bone for a dozen
hens once a day, which should not cost
over a cent a pound, viii produce more
eggs chan Eve times as much grain,
because the cut bone is complete in
egg making substances. while the grain
is largely deficient In many respects,
says the Mirror and Farmer. Some
persons affirm that It does not pay to
procure a bone cutter for small fiocks.
That is a mistake. Bone cutters are
now cheaper than many ordinary gar
den tools and are strong. durable and
efficient The cost Of the bone cutter
is soon regained in the increased num-

of the wing feathers together instead
Of crossing the wings on the back, as
Is often done. AT the best plucking q

Leg weakness in ducks when not

the result Of an insufficient supply OF

Morgan, the New York financier, came
to Washington in his private car and
went Immediately to the White House,
where he was in conference with
President Roosevelt for more than two
house. The object of Mr. Morgans
visit was to urge the president to take
some action to "allay" the public anx-
iety now threatening to obstruct rail
road investments and construction"
Mr.. Morgan pointed out to the presi-
dent that the financial interests of the
country are greatly alarmed at the at
titude of the administration toward
corporations.
At Mr.. Morgan's earnest request,
President Roosevelt has agreed to
have a conference with four leading
railroad presidents, Messrs. McCrea,
of the Pennsylvania; Newman, of the
New York Central; Mellen, of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford, and
Hughitt, of the Chicago & Northwest
ern, to determine if some agreement
can be reached as to the relations be-
tween the railroads and the admins
tration. 1t is probable that E. H. Har-
riman, head of the Hartman lines,
may also participate in the conference,
which, it is understood, will take place
at the White House some time the lat.
ter part of this week.
