Stole q Horse.

After having burglsrized the house Of
Harvey Gravatt, at Groveville, Wednes
day afternoon, and stealing horse and
carriage from Isaac Bowers of the same
place to make his escape, the alleged thief,
whose name could not be learned, sus'
ceeded in getting as far as New Egypt,
only to be caught by the police of that
town.
While the family was away the thief
made his entrance to the Gravatt home
through a rear door with the aid OF a
jimmy. In his search for plumber he
secured silver match safe, fountain pen,
pockstbook containing so cents, ammonia
revolver and dollar bank, also contain
Ing fifty cents.
After the robbery he went into hiding
In order to make his escape under cover
OF darkness. When the residents of
Groveville were nestled in bed the robber
made his way to the stable of Isaac Bowers
and stole horse valued at $3.50, and also
carriage.
The theft was discovered shortly after
the crime was committed, and descriptions
of the animal were sent out. The man
and his prey were seen by young man
near Allentown at midnight. Word was
sent to the New Egypt police to be on the
lookout, and he was taken into custody.
The horse is blind in one eye and has a
large lump on the left knee. The man In
custody had an animal answering this
description.

The Experts Report.

AT the May. 1904, term of the Burling
ton County courts Judge Joseph H
Gaskill delivered lengthy charge to the
grand jury on the methods employed by
the Board of Freeholders In their conduct
OF the business of the county. The charge
occupied two columns of fine type In THE
News. Some of the points were similar
to those touched upon In THE News last
week, one of them being about the liability
OF individual members of the Board
Judge Gaskill said: 1.-The only way
that Individual freeholders can avoid
liability In this line is for them to insist
that their names be recorded In the mega
tive on the minutes of the clerk. In that
way they will avoid liability. They can
not avoid liability by simply sitting still
and not voting one way or the other.
They will all be assumed to be In favor of
these various measures and actions unless
their names are recorded in the negative
en- the minutes of the clerk"
Judge Gaskill also called attention to
the manner In which appropriations were
made and told the jury that they must be
separated and put under different heads
He said If there was any law by which
money could be transferred from one
account to another he did not know of It.
There were many salient points in the
charge and Judge Gaskill, while not
advising Indictment did call attention to
the fact that the members of the Board of
Freeholders were placing themselves in
very serious position by going ahead as
they had been doing. So it will be seen
that those in charge of county affairs have
had sufficient warning of what might
happen to them.

Good Detective Work.

County Detective Parker Is deserving of
great credit for the manner In which he
has worked up the recent robberies in this
place, recovering lot of stolen property.
When the robberiss occurred the detective
sent word to the authorities of several
cities and towns. giving description of
goods and the best idea he possessed of
the persons supposed to be connected with
the thefts.
When the store of Abram Gerber was
robbed few weeks ago man deposited
bundle In a cornfield on the farm of
Samuel Evans. The latter gave informa-
ton that led to the mans arrest. He gave
the name of Lorenzo DeLange, but denied
completely In any crime but the Gerber
robbery. After he had been In jail
short time DeLange was visited by gen.
tleman and lady who went to Philadel-
phia. There they went to a place and
found goods which DeLange claimed as
his property. These they had shipped to
Fall River, Massachusetts. Detective
Parker found where the goods were going
and he got there first. He asked the peo-
pie OF the house where they delivered
they same people who had visited the jail
what they knew about the man In Mount
Holly, and they expressed great surprise
when they learned the true state of affairs
They are respectable residents of Fall
River and at once gave up all the goods
they had shipped together with others
that were in the house. These Parker had
sent to Mount Holly.
He began to work upon DeLange and
finally got him to admit that he had an
accomplice by the name of Thomas Golden
Gray, alias William Garrison. Knowing
some things about this fellow Parker sent |
word to Philadelphia and had him ar
rested. DeLange said many goods had |
been pawned, some under his name and |
some In the name of Gray. Search re-
vealed this story to be true and goods |
were recovered that had been stolen from
derber's store in April, those taken from
the residences OF Charles H. Folwell and
Samuel Fryer, Mount Holly, and some
from Alexander Bartlett and CLAYTON
Burlington. Walter L. Moore,
who was robbed at Moorestown in Novem-
Der last, identified a number of things
taken from his house. There were also a
lot of goods stolen from Trenton store.
DeLange was a slick worker, and it was
oAe of his favorite customs to deposit his
stolen plumber In a field. get work with
The farmer and then gather up the goods
1t his leisure. He has been In prison be
fore this. Gray has been in the New Jer
'ey state prison four different terms. He

A. Engle Haines has decided not to be
candidate for the new Board of Free
holders.
William B. Shedaker, of Burlington
township, is reported TO be In the field for
the nomination for Senator on the Bull
Moosevelt ticket. This leaves the contest
on the Republican side, up to date, be-
tween Assemblyman White and James
Mercer Davis.
Herman Bisbing, of Riverside, is the
latest to announce his candidacy on the
Republican side for member of the new
Board of Freeholders. Mr.. Bisbing was at
one time coroner of this county, and per-
formed his duties In a very satisfactory
manner.
Robert Peacock, Harold B. Wells and
Evan F. Benners are striving for the Re-
publican nomination for Member of As
sembly. Benners is making lively can
vass and is doing the handshake act in
great shape. He hopes to get large vote
and there are said to be many who feel
like giving him a complimentary vote
without any idea of his getting the
nomination. Complimentary votes are
very dangerous things Better vote in
earnest for the man who is best fitted for
the Office.
Latest advices indicate that the contest
for member of Congress from the Second
Congressional District will be a lively
affair. From present indications 1t looks
like finish between Senators Lewis and
Nichols, although Congressman Gardner
has strengthened his fences in Atlantic
county by getting, after long delay, an
appropriation fer harbor purposes. That
is all right for Atlantic but where has
Burlington county benefited to any extent
during his incumbency? No harm will be
done to any one by having change In
our representation In Washington.
1t is likely that the fight for the office of
Mayor of Burlington will be most interest
ing. William Abdill, Elmer Huderson
and Lewis Craft are seeking the office.
Each have promised many reforms if
elected to the Office. Mr.. Craft has been
quite active in many reform movements
and has done much along the line of civic
improvement. He is an employee In the
Office of the Burlington Enterprise, con-
sequently will have the support of L
Snowden Haines, which, while 1t does not
amount to much outside of the city of
Burlington, seems to be quite factor in
the city.

Friends Gather at Mount Holly.

Friends Gather at Mount Holly.
Burlington Quarterly Meeting of Friends
was held in Mount Holly on Tuesday
The proceedings were full of interest, but
the attendance was not up to the average
Following the usual custom the business
meeting was preceded by a meeting fol
worship. The first speaker was Lukens
Webster. who spoke of the value of silent
contemplation of divine things, with the
resultant effect upon character. Others
who spoke were Samuel Taylor, "a years
old, George II. Killie and Daniel Batchel.

The business meeting was conducted by
the clerk, Franklin s. Zelley, assisted by
Phebe w. Buzby. Representatives from
the constituent monthly meetings of
Chesterfield, Upper Springfield, Mount
Holly and Burlington responded to the
roll call, all being present but two, who
were accounted for.
Then followed the heading of three of
the queries. The first one, relating to
regularity of attendance and becoming
behavior at the meetings for worship and
discipline, were satisfactorily answered by
the different meetings. The second query,
relating to love and unity among the
members, together with the peaceful ad
iustment of differences, led to q spirited
discussion, In which many present took
part. One of the points brought out was
the difference between a mere passive
goodwill and an active burning love
among the Friends. DR.. Janney objected
to the term unity" which he interpreted
as uniformity of belief. and would sub
stitute the word interest" for 1t.

MRS. Wigs of the Cabbage Patch, .
that quaint and familiar comedy drama
tized by Mrs. Anne Crawford Flexner
from the well-known stories MRS. Wigs"
and ''Lovey Mary" written by Mrs. Alice
Hogan Rice, will be presented for the
FIRST time at popular prices in Phi1adel-
phia by the Orpheum Players at the
Chestnut Street Theatre, Philadelphia,
next week. Miss Florence Roberts, one
of the most popular members of the
Orpheum Company, will be seen in the
| title role.
Probably no better selection as holi-
day attraction, in the way of dramatics.
could be obtained for Labor Day week
than Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage Patch. {"
1t is delightful, homely and wholesome
play, and its characters, Mrs. Wigs, Mis-
Hay, Mr.. Stubbins, Lovey Mary, Little
Tommy, Mrs. Eichorn, Mrs. Schultze,
Asia, Europena, Australia, and all the
rest of the immortal cabbage patch coterie,
are such real rescripts of life that they
have walked on the stage bodily from the
stories of Mrs. Rice.
No more than in the books from which
the play is made is there a complex plot,
but there are fun and sense and broad
humanity, wit and humor and wisdom,
and an all-around appeal in "Mrs. Wigs"
Granted that several of the characters
notably Mrs. Eichorn and Mrs. Schultze,
are bit more of caricature than character,
but so are the Mrs. Schultze's and Mrs.
Eichhorn's of real life. Granted that
some of the condolences are almost too
life-like to be plausible, and grant many
more things, and then admit that MRS
Wigs of the Cabbage Patch" is play to
be enjoyed and remembered by everyone
1t has been relished by more than three
million play-goers in the past seven
seasons, and it will be equally enjoyed by
the patrons of the Orpheum Company.
Most everyone has read the books, and
therefore the story of the play into which
the two books are tefescoped is more or
less familiar. The dramatization con-
Germs itself solely with life and the brisk
action is crowded with types and homely
pictures.

The star cast of "An Aztec Romance, I"
which opens the season at the Chestnut
Street Opera House, Philadelphia, Mon
day, September 9, for a two weeks ell
gagement, has been completed. The full
roster contains the following names; Miss
Tittell-Brune, Robert Warwick, Edwin
Arden, R. D. MacI4ean, Charles B. Han
ford, George Probert, Clifford Leigh,
William A. Evans, Louise Hamilton, 10
i sephine Bowers and Douglas Graves.
There are also number Of lesser players
in minor roles, together with a chorus
and ballet, ninety in all. Special music
has been composed by Harold Orlob, who
will also direct the augmented orchestra
of thirty musicians. "An Aztec Romance
is the first play to be produced dealing
with life in America before the Christian
era. The story of the ancient Aztecs is
one of the most romantic in the annals oil
history. The author, Orestes Bean, spent
two years in the writing of this play, but
it also represents many prior years Of
preparatory research and thought. 1t was
his purpose to tell a stirring, romantic
story Of life in America analogous te
the glory that was of Greece and the
grandeur that was of Rome" The pro.
duction will be one of the most massive
of recent years. There are five scenes
showing the Hall of Justice in Zarahemla
Seantum's Palace at Antionum, Seantum's
garden, Zoan re Isobel's palace at Siren
and the home of the High Priest at lara
hemla. The locale is in that tropical por.
ton of America where the Aztecs de.
veloped civilization that is even now
the wonder of the world. The scenic op.
portunities of such settings may we'll Be
imagined. Pictorially this production
promises to be a delight long to be re.
membered. Mail orders sent with re.
mittances to the management of the
Chestnut Street Opera House will receive
prompt and careful attention. No seats
will be higher than $I.5o, notwitbstand-
ing the stupendousness of this production.
