For the third time within eighteen
months the stations at Boothwyn and
Ogden. about a mile and a half apart
on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
near Chester were entered and robbed
last night. In both cases entrance was
effected by tearing down window
screns and breaking the glass. and there
Is no doubt that the same gang Of
thieves operated In both cases.
But little booty was secured in either
place. no attempt being made to tam

since the recent robberies no money
IL left at night; nothing, In fact. ex-
cept a few books and the supply Of
tickets. These latter would be OF little
value to anyone who did not know how
to mark and punch them properly.
At the Ogden station the thieves
found an express package supposed to
belong TO Mrs. George Helms. contain
ing a number of articles of women's
wearing apparel which were strewn
all over the station floor. They ALSO
discovered some unfinished embroidery
left there by Miss Eva NJ Peters, the
station agent. and were ungallant
enough to carry this away with them.
AT Boothwyn apparently the first
thing that attracted their attention
was a chewing gum slot machine This
they broke open and rified of both
sweets and pennies. Byj a singular
coincidence. another womans under
wear was found here as at Ogden. and
was also torn open and scattered

STREET FAIR FOR
GEORGETOWN
Sussex County Seat to Have
a Carnival Latter Part
Of September

Proposing to hold a hig street carni-
val and homecoming week for George
town, Bandmaster McDaniels, Charles
L. Moore. and a number Of Other
prominent citizens are laying plans for
the last week Of September TO be re-
served for such an occasion says the
Sussex Journal Of Georgetown. Ths
plans as so far arranged viii need the
help of everyone in Georgetown II it bG
a success and the corporation of many
who have gone to live in other cities.
It is the plan of those at the head or
the affair to set aside one week. prob
ably the last week in September for a
big street carnival, during which as
many of former Georgetown residents
who can get home shall do so. A part
of the town viii be- set Off, as is done
in many cities, and here free amuse-
ments win be offered every afternoon
and evening. Booths viii be erected
on all sides where all sorts of souve-
niers and refreshments will be on sale
Every afternoon and evening it is pro-
posed to have big band concert given
by a band Of national repute which
can be secured here very reasonably
on account Of the prominence Of Band
master McDaniels. who has many
friends in that line of business.
To Have Big Parade.
In conjunction with the concerts
which WI be free, it IS also proposed
to have a big parade one day Of the
week in which all the secret orders
and fire companies of the county will
be invited to participate with COM
panies Of school children and other or
ganizations. Headed by the visiting
band and the Georgetown band also in
line, and other bands from different
county towns. the parade would cer-
tainly produce an impressive showing.
on another day masked parade would
be given with fancy costumes and a
company Of comic displays. Another
day is proposed to be set aside as a
day in which all the bands Of the
county shall be present and parade
through the streets in competition as to
the best dressed and the best playing
band This contest would be open
only to bands in the county and should
certainly prove an interesting feature.
Among the free amusements going on
during the afternoon and evening
would be an oDen air vaudeville per-
formance with tight wire walking. A
midway win be established with regu-
lar side show features.
