Loot Of the Misses Perkins
Residence Discovered on
Farm in Chatham.
REWARD OFFERED FOR CLUES

Residents of South street near the
residence of the Misses Perkins have
offered a rsWard of five hundred dol
lars for information that will lead to
the arrest and conviction Of the thieves
who robbed the Perkins house early
Friday morning.
In the cornfeld of John T. Much.
more, which lies half way between
Chatham and Summit, several pieces
of silverware were found Saturday af-
ternoon and we're identified by the
Misses Perkins.
William Howlett, of this town, who
makes daily trips to Newark in wag
on, noticed three men sitting by the
side of stack of corn early Saturday
morning in the Muchmore field. He
did not stop then, but on his way
home at night he concluded to ask
Muchmore what the men were doing
there. They were well dressed, had
on derby hats, and one of them, How
lett says, wore a beard. Muchmore
told Hewlett that he had not seen the
men, but his hired man found some
pieces Of silverware in the field, and
these he exhibited to Hewlett. On
reaching Morristown Hewlett went to
the police headquarters and told Chief
Holloway, thinking the goods might
have some connection with the Per-
kins robbery. Sergeant Morrison was
hurried to Muchmore's farm and
brought back with him the found ar
ticles. They consisted of five silver
knives, gold and silver cup and a
silver match safe.
The Misses Perkins were sent for
and declared the knives and cup had
been taken from their home. The cup
was bent, as were the knives. 1t is
thought the men secreted the silver
and walked to Chatham some time
during Friday night. The men were
again seen going toward Milburn, and
it is believed they took a trolley car
there for Newark.

More Big Corn.

This has been a great year for corn,
Judging from the specimens that have
been left in THE CHRONICLE office.
In addition to that noticed last week,
there have come from the Arnold farm
a number of huge ears of the white
flint variety. They were the largest
up to date, but A. E. Pierson improved
on his exhibit of last week and left
an ear that has 916 kernels. The ear
is about eleven inches in length and
contains twenty-five rows. The crown
ing ear, however, was left by e. P.
Thebaud. 1t is from seed secured in
Georgia. The ear is about foot long,
has twenty-four rows of grains with
over 1900 kernels to the ear. The
stalks of this corn were fifteen feet
high. The seed being new the grains
are not fully developed, but Mr.. The
baud expects great things from it in
another year, when it is aclimated.
