WOMAN CHARGES
CRUELTY AT JAIL
Says County Institution Guard
Beat Boy-Judge Osborne
investigating.

Charges of alleged cruelty to George
w. Rittenhouse, a 19-year-old pris-
oner at'the Essex County jail, were
heard In Chancery chambers today by
Judge Harry v. Osborne.
The boys aunt, Mrs. Mary Packer,
of Runyon place, East Orange. heard
that the boy had been beaten and put
in solitary confinement She appealed
to Howard sherwood, a lawyer, of
S2S Broad street, and he asked Judge
Osborne to investigate.
Rittenhouse recently pleaded non
vult to two charges of forgery, and
was sentenced to the Railway Re-
formatory. He was to have been
taken there today
During exercises at 8 o'clock yes
tcrday afternoon. according to the
jail authorities. he became obstrep-
erous and started to call Judge Os-
borne names.
Told to be quiet by Bert Reilly, a
keeper, he is said to have hit him
In the face. RE was then placed in
a padded cell.
Judge Osborne had him brought to
his chambers today and examined
by DIR. Walter S. Washington, who
could find no bruises or evidence of
beating. Rittenhouse wanted to
make 1t clear that 1t was his aunt
and not he who was complaining.
County Detective Thomas P. Meyer
is making further investigation for
Judge Osborne
Rittenhouse says that during exer-
else time he was halted by Keeper
Gallagher, who was not in charge at
the time and bidden:
Go back to your CELL
"Who says so?" Rittenhouse says
he asked
Reilly" the keeper replied
"Well," Rittenhouse alleges he said.
'qet him come here and tell me that
himself
Gallagher at this went in search of
Reilly, who ordered Rittenhouse back
to his cell. When he asked why this
order was given Rittenhouse says he
was told it was none of his busi-
ness
Then, he declares, Reilly made a
pass at him, and he retaliated. In
the scuff1e that ensued. ne says, he
and Reilly were struck four or five
times each.

YEGGMEN LOOT SAFE.
AS TRAINS THUNDER
BROWNS EXPLOSION
cyphers Co. Store Entered After Three Separate Doors
Tred--tiau Iss Disappointing, Only $500 Being OBJ
tained-dlass ii oHice Not Broken.

Waiting until the thunder of a
passing train drowned the noise OF
the explosion, a gang of yeggmen
blew open the safe IN the office Of
A. Cyphers & Company, dealers in
horse feed, at Orange and Nesbit
streets, some time duf5ng the night,
and made successful getaway with
all the money 1t contained.
The police are puzzled 10 learn how
the safe-crackers accomplished their
task without discovery Marks on
the building show that three separate
entrances were tried by the gang be-
fore they managed to make their way
into the place, and none of these at
tempts seems to have been made with
any great care.
Once inside, however, the maraud-
ers went about their work with neat
ness and dispatch. The door of the
safe is blown cleanly off, only enough
explosives having been used to snap
off the hinges, and despite the fact
that the Office in which the safe lay
is entirely surrounded by windows
and glass partitions not a pane was
disturbed. 1t is believed by the po-
lice that the yeggmen managed to
save the windows from being
smashed by the vibrations from the
explosion by opening them and the
doors.
That the safe blowers were disap-
pointed in their haul is the opinion

Cyphers, president. Just before the
banks closed yesterday, they say,
several thousand dollars was taken
from the safe and deposited in a
local bank. The thieves got no more
than $500, members of the concern
say. This was taken in between the
end of banking hours and closing
time.
The first way in which the thieves
tried to effect an entrance was
through a cellar window on the south
side. This was jimmied open, but Il
large pile of bales and feed bags made
it impossible to enter by the window.
Then a door on the north side was
tried, but this could not be pushed
open because of large pile of hay

thieves managed to make their way.

Had Something in Him.

Rev. Hudson Robert Jones had
preached what he thought was a
great Christmas sermon. On the way
home from church he came upon a
youth sitting doubled up on the steps
of a domicile. Wishing to admonish
this young person for what he took TO
be laziness, he stepped up to him and
said

yourself; you certainly must have

AS YE DID UNTO THEM"

So he died, and they said unto him:
1T is written against you that you
needed not the sorrow and the want
Of them that were stricken in poverty
and suffered in illness and want
And<he said:
THAT is unfair, for all my life long
noted especially the suffering and
want of the poor, and not a Christmas
went by that did not say over and
over that was sorry for them. No
one gave them more sympathy than l.
no one showed more commiseration
for them. Why, lots of times l
thought of them on cold winter
nights, and said to my friends that it
was too bad they had to endure pri-
nations"
THAT is correct" they said unto
him. "But it is written that you did
not materialize your sympathy-you
simply sympathized in words. and
words are not eaten, nor are they
worn. lor are they burned in stoves"
~ he was abashed, and stood silent
Tor q space. Then he said meekly:
And must not come fn?"

with are here. and now they will SYM

among their virtues was a marked
