is IN CONGRESS
OTHER IN JAIL
How Two School Mates
Settled Their Career.

New Brunswick, July 13.-Tom
Scully and Jack Bannon were school
mates together at South Amboy.
Both of their families are prominent
Today Tom Scully Is In Congress and
Jack Bannon is in Jail.
The/public has been made &C
quainted with the brilliant rise of
the Congressman. 1t will now hear
of the fall of the prisoner. Bannon
had an ideal home life. He was an
only child and his parents dotted on
him. He became a town favorite.
While Scully never touched a drop
of liquor and kept climbing up the
ladder, Bannon enjoyed the cup that
cheers and kept descending.
His father died and then his
mother and he found himself with
out means. He got a job On the
coal docks and proved a good work
man after he had become accus-
toned to the hard toll. Then the
coal company put In machinery to
replace the men and he lost his job.
For a year he associated with buns
and came to be considered one him
self. Recently he was arrested with
Michael Connors. William Bonis
and Thomas Coughlin for highway
robbery. 1t was the first time he
had ever been charged with crime.
The same can be said of Connors,
who is also the hayward son Of a
respectable family.
They came into court apparently
without friends. The court assigned
Lawyer A. V. Schenck to defend
tbapo TLo f@,r "A~A ~-yt+al
They had taken 50, while drunk,
from some youth, and had spent it
for liquor.
The court had heard of the trou-
Bile that South Amboy was having
with loafers and decided to make
an example of these four. He sen
fenced Bonis and Coughlln to the
Reformatory and Bannon and Con-
nors to state prison because they
were too old to be sent to the Re-
formatory.
When ews of this reached South
Amboy old time friends of Bannon
and Connors expressed their sor-
row.
John A. Coan made the plea for a
change of sentence yesterday and
said that the men bore good reputa-
tions and had gone to the bad
through evil associations, after they
were thrown out of their work on the
coal docks.
The petition contained the names
of Mayor Michael Welsh and ex-
Mayors Charles Muirheid, Cornelius
McGonigal, James H. Gordon, J.
O'Connor and DR.. e. E. Haines, Free
holder Frank q. DeGraw, John
Scully, John J. Scully and Frank
Scully were other signers.
Judge DAILY said that when he had
passed sentence he regretted that the
men were too old to go to the Re-
fo~rgaatory, but felt that because
many ~offenses had been committed
at South Amboy, the people there
we're entitled to some protection
from the court. He asked the mel
If they would stop drinking If he
saved them from state prison, and
they said they would. He thereupon
them to six months each
in the county Jail, less one day.

METuCHEk HAS
An ODD BURIAL


rolls of thunder, while the sky was
alternately black and then illumin-
ated by flashes Of lightning and rain
was pouring down in torrents, there
took place Thursday afternoon In
the cemetery of the First Presby-
terrain church here probably the
most remarkable burial ceremony in
the annals of this section of the
state.
Into four graves side by side were
lowered collins containing the body
of a mother and the disarticulated
skeletons of her three children. For
each this was the third burial.
Before their formal commitment
to the earth by an ordained minister
in the presence of eight members of
the family, it was necessary to ex-
hume the skeletons, which, it Is de-
clared, had been thrown together
promiscuously in a drygoods box,
and to sort the bones, so hat those
Of each child should be buried sep
arately.
The husband and father, Rev.
Ezra f. Munday, was not present.
He is eighty-two years old and has
for a long time lived in Kansas.
About a month ago MI. Mundy
came to Metuchen, ostens1bly to re-
new old acquaintance. While here
the old preacher, unknown to the
cemetery officials, entered into a
contract with a local grave-digger
for the removal of his entire family
from one part Of the graveyard to
another. Accordingly the four
graves were opened. 1t is said this
was done secretly. At any rate the
church and cemetery officials dis
claim all knowledge of the proceed
ings.
The coffin of Mrs. Mundy, who
died about a year ago, was found
In good condition, but when the
graves OF the three children were
opened, all that remained was their
bones. Mrs. Mundy's coffin was bur-
led secretly in another part of the
cemetery, and the bones of the three
children, enclosed In a drygoods box,
were placed In the same grave. No
sooner vas this done than the aged
preacher sold the burial lot in which
the four members of his family had
previously reposed, and returned to
Kansas.
IL NdS DOIuC tiluC OClOlC liz oIuCl
members of the Mundy family heard
of what had been done, but when
they did theyNacted promptly. They
informed the cemetery authorities,
who have tried vainly to locate the
aged minister, as it was a violation
of rules to o any body without
a permit.
The relatives bought a new lot,
obtained permission to mov the
bodies, and commissioned a local
undertaken to open four new graves
and procure four new collins. This
was done, but before the burial
could take place Noah Brown, the
cemetery grave digger, was obliged
upon opening the drygoods box to
sort out the bones of the three chill
dren, who had died in 1859, 1874
and 1888 respectively, and place
those of each child in a separate
AS the children had been of
widely varying ages 1t was possible
to make the selection accurately.
This done, the members of the
family and their minister gathered
at the graves in the midst of the
downpour, and after a brief service,
but one made doubly impressive by
the narrowing circumstances and the
raging storm, the recommitment to
the ground was made. -

ADVANTAGE OF RUGS
Easy TO SEE THEIR SUPERIORITY
OVER CARPETS.
Excellent Floor Coverings May Be
Purchased at Moderate Price,
Llnoleum for the Kitchen and
Bathroom 10 Important.

1t ought not to be necessary to
point out wherein rugs have the ad-
vantage owe carpets. Tackled down
floor coverings are no longer coun-
tenanced by thoughtful people.
But" somebody may object, 'the
cost Of replacing carpets by rugs is
too expensive an item to consider"
Perhaps SO, II attempted all at once,
but If brought about HradIs,..y il viii
not seem ea.savy burden. There are
saDslltutes for the more costly rugs
for sale at moderate prices.
The washable cotton rugs for use in
the bathrooms or even bedrooms win
appeal to the woman Of modest means
While combining practicability and
cheapness, they are attractive at the
same time.
The so-called grass" coverings
should not be overlooked In this mat
ter of desirable floor furnishings.
Nearly all the department stores carry
them. and the larger firms have a mail
order department always at the
ready service OF the oat-of-town Gus
toner.
Again. handsome and durable rugs
may be made Of odds and ends OF old
carpets. This work can be placed in
the hands OF certain manufacturers
who make a specially Of 1t, or the
weaving can be done at home.
Just = word In regard to one OBJ
1estion brought against rugs Of light
weight-namsly, their tendency to
curl up around the edges. To coun-
teract this difficulty there are rug
fasteners - compact little devices
consisting Of f%at-headed pins to
be nailed to the floor, with correspond
ing metal hooks which are slipped
over them after being attached to the
rug.
The subject OF kitchen ande bath.
room linoleums Is an important one.
Get as good a quality as your purse
will allow; it will pay in the end. The
inlaid variety in which the pattern
remains intact as long as there Is
anything Left OF the linoleum itself,
will give far better service than the
printed kind, which looks we'll only az
long Is the surface remaius in fair
condition. AS a good p~neservative. two
coats of good floor varnish may be
given the linoleum.
