HERE AND THERE
SABBATH REFLECTIONS.

D3hDsAL Il AAASf A$A<CitC%Nos
1t was windy April night. The sky
was ragged with swiftly flying scud
that raced across the moon as if hurry
ing in answer to gather for a storm.
Such a sky makes the earth a place of
gliding shadows. On this particular
night three rough looking men were
seated on the ground ON the lee side of
a hay stack in field on a little farm
owned and occupied by.an aged couple
who had lived happily together upon
their little farm for more than fifty
summers. Their frugality aud industry
had brought them to a contented and
comfortable old age. Their cottage
home was nestled in grove of naples
and lofty evergreens which the old man
had planted with his own hands. They
were basking in the calm afterglow of
a useful life all unconscious ofthe three
evil forms that had squatted down be-
hind the haystack first behind the
orchard to complete their hellish plan
to murder and rob these happy old peo-
pie who were supposed to be keeping
considerable money in the house. Two
of these three men were scared criminals
red handed fugitives from justice. The
third was novice eagerly waiting on
the threshold of criminal career for a
Job that would make him hero in
the haunts of friends. His part of the
nights works, which he boastfully
agreed to do, was, to kill the old couple
as they slept after which the house was
to be searched for money and other
valuables. They had crept stealthily
from the haystack into the grove and
were hiding behind trees near the house
in order to note the location of the bed
room, Doug, the novice, crept slyly up
to window and peered in beneath the
lowly-drawn curtain to watch the
movements of the old people. At last
the light was blown out and all became
silent within. At sight of the old peo-
pie in theircozy home Doug s Conscience
started up and marshalling his better
traits to its aid, endeavored to prevent
him from falling into the dark pit just
before him. He rejoined his companions
in the shadows of the trees, and tried to
shift the killing onto their hands.
When they noticed that he was weaken
ing one of them handed him flask of
whisky from which Doug eagerly drank.
They now skunk farther back into the
shadows of the trees and waited for the
old folks to sink deeper into slumber,
during which they drained the whiskey
flask dry. When the wbiskey reached
Doug's brain his Conscience retreated.
His better traits skunk away, leaving
Satan in full command of his young life.
He now unsheathed big knife and
boasted of his courage and readiness to
do his part. The psychological moment
had come. They crept slyly to the
house, entered through the kitchen
window, and urged Doug to do his work
quickly. Doug crept slyly into the bed
chamber. The old lady slept lightly.
At the creaking of loose board in the
floor she started up, threw back the
covers and was resting on her elbow
staring wildly about

A sad message comes from Langdon,
North Dakota, telling of the death of
Miss Lois Mae Armstrong, oldest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. George Arm
strong. She died in the Langdon
hospital Sunday, January 2s. She had
just crossed the threshold of woman
hood. She recently graduated from the
public schools. The Future was calling
her to positions of use and honor. Her
father, George Armstrong, is well re-
membered here as the son of w. S.
Armstrong, ex-sheriff of Audubon
county. He and w. M. Armstrong of
Melville are brothers. The bereaved
mother is remembered as the oldest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Anciaux,
formerly of Peetz, Colorado. Mr.. and
Mrs. George Armstrong moved to
Langdon when the deceased was a little
child. A heart-crushing sorrow has
entered a happy home. May those who
are struggling whit gain holy strength.
The following clipping was taken from
the Cavalier Republican of Langdon,
n. ID.
1.-THE many friends and neighbors of
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Armstrong, resid-
ing short distance north of Langdon
were greived to learn of the death of
their eldest daughter, Lois Mae, which
took place in this city last Monday
morning shortly after one o'clock.
Death was due to sceptic poisoning,
following en- operation for abdominal
abscess. Miss Armstrong, who had
been attending the Langdon public
schools, was first taken sick about two
weeks prior to her death with an at
tack of appendicitis. At first her con-
dition was quito critical and her par
ents were summoned to Langdon to
care for her, but in a few days she was
so far improved that it was thought
she might return to her home until she
had fully recovered. However, week
ago Monday, other complications set in
which made an immediate operation
imperative, and this was performed on
the Wednesday preceding her DEATH

U. 5. TROOPS
TO LAND HERE
March to MT. Gretna, Pa,
Next Week.

Perth Amboy Will witness a mil
itary display next week which will,
undoubtedly, send the young boys
into a state of ecstacy. The reason
is simple: United States troopers,
clothed In regulation uniforms and
carrying reliable firearms, will land
at the steamboat dock, in this city,
on either Monday or Wednesday of
next week, and march through here
en- route for Mt. Gretna, Pa, where
TN encampment will be held for a
number of days. No definite infor-
nation can be supplied at this time,
but the youngsters can rest assur-
ed that the troopers will land here
and give an interesting military dis
play. The exact time of the troops
arrival, and the number in the
squad, will be announced later.
The first intimation of the honor
about to be conferred upon Perth
Amboy was received at the real es-
tate Office of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road company, in Newark, when a
written request was received from
Quartermaster General Zalinski for
permission to land the troop at the
New York & New Jersey Steamboat
company's dock, In Front street,
owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad
company. General Zalinski, in adj
dition to asking permission, also ap-
piled for information concerning the
depth at the dock at low tide, and
other information of marine nature.
The railroad officials readily grant
ed the generals request, and in
formed the quartermaster hat the
dock facilities are sufficient to &C
commodate any vessel of ordinary
measurements.
M. Gray zalinski is deputy quar-
termaster general Of the United
States Army and will have personal
charge of the march across New
Jersey into Pennsylvania, it is ex-
peCted.

NEW LICENSES
IN BRUNSWICK
Hot Time at Council Meeting
Nov Have 95.
sSsstaI TO the EVENING NEWS.

New Brunswick, June Conn
mon council last night increased the
number Of licensed liquor places in
this city from lightweight to ninety
five, granting seven new licenses,
two, wholesale and retail, to one
man. James Foley opposed the
granting of a license to Thomas A.
Lyons at rs Morrell street, where
he had moved from 50 Wyckoff
street.
81 was told to see Alderman Kin
ney," said Foley, but l said there
was no use seeing him as he wished
to get Lyons off that rner.
Alderman Kinney took exception
to this statement and insisted that
Foley answer, yes or no, to his
question as to whether he knew that
to be q fact, or be deprived of the
privilege of the floor.
Foley in return asked the alder
man if he had not deprived Lyons
Of his license at that place for a
year. Alderman Kinney insisted
that was not answering his question.
Foley declared he had been told that
he had deprived him of his license
by an interested party.
Then it's his word against
mine.' declared Alderman Kinney.
Yes and l believed him." replied
Foley.
Alderman Kinney insisted on his
motion to deprive Mr.. Foley of the
floor and the motion was carried,
II to 2.
"In put it in the paper anyhow"
said Foley, as he walked out. ut
don't make any difference. I'll
take 1t to the courts yet"
Donnie Foley then asked the privi-
lege of the floor. He is the father
Of James Foley. He declared he
knew it to be a fact that Lyons
would never move away from that
corner. The brewers we're satisfied
to let him stay there. He could not
say about Mr.. Kinney. III Mr..
Kinney would only keep his mouth
shut. He has an awful gall" de-
clared Dennis.
Never mind. pop, We'll &C to the
grand jury and prosecutor" re-
marked James as Dennis left with a
thank you gentlemen"
Alderman Kinney produced the
notice Of dispossession given by Ber-
ger & Fischer, brewers, for the place
at 35 Wyckoff street which had
come into the hands of the license
committee. Dennis Foley made
some remark interrupting Mr.. Kin
ney and he asked that there be
order.
Alderman Kinney said 1t would be
100 per cent. better for him to have
Lyons stay where he was and any
man by sitting on his front porch
could prove this assertion. He had
told Lyons it would pay him better
to pay $500 and stay where he was
as he had an old established place.
The next council might not think as
this one. Lyons has said he could
not buy the place. He had offered
$4,000 and it was assessed at ST.
900. The board granted Lyons a IL
cense in the new place.
The new licenses granted were:
John Donnelly. 214 Burnet street,
restaurant; Thomas Badolato, SO
Bishop street, bottler's; William r.
Schlosser, As Hiram street, restau-
rant and Wholesale; Michael Ma
loney, Comstock street, restaurant;
