'Jobo.' | said to him, just as | had
said to Nibbs, "a crowd of men will
come down the road presently and if
they should leave the road and climb
over the fence into the field, you light
out across the field as asst as you

they overtake you tell them you were
running because you are in hurry to
get home to your mother. who is not

a mattr of business. Tell them your

fession, then propose trading clothes
with the leader of the gang, asking
him considerable boot, gradually COM
ing down to even trade, or even offer
him better boot-anything to hold
his attention and to prolong the con-
versatlon.
"Jobo agreed to do so and we walked
back to where the others were at work,
grabbed up a couple of handspikes; and
became two Of the busiest log-rollers
in the whole outfit. We had not been
at work long, however, until saw a
cloud of dust rising up the road and
knew they were coming. Soon they
emerged into sight and came down the
road lick-a-ty split, the sheriff IN the
lead and Highfield Jones, as usual,
bringing up the rear. For some rea-
son, ever since the wreck near Crooked
Creek, Highfield seems to have been
relegated to the rear.
"When they got opposite the field,
the sheriff stopped, evidently looking
for my tracks, then left the road and
bounced over the fence, followed by
the others. No sooner had the sheriff's
feet hit the ground on the inside of the
fence than Jobo threw down his hand
spike and lit out across the field at
great rate, going northeast in the d.
rection of Weston.
Coming to fence, Jobo turned
handspring over into another field.
Here weeds grew thick and tall, with
a profusion of white and yellow flowers
in about equal proportions. could
tell the direction Jobo had taken only
by the motion of the flowers as he
plunged on, parting the weeds as he
went.
when the sheriff and his followers
saw the light gray suit of clothes fly
ing across the field they started in
that direction in hot pursuit, paying
no attention to the log-rollers.
ION they went across the field in
full speed and with seeming new ener-
gy, thinking, no doubt, that now,
since they had at last got the fugative
to leave the road, they would soon
pick him up-coming to the fence
where Jobo had gone over, the sheriff,
placing one foot on the middle rail of
the panel and his hands on the top
rail, bounded over on the other side.
The town marshal, coming up to the
fence right behind the sheriff and seek
ng to initiate his leaders example,
placing his foot and hands in the iden-
tical position on the fence and made a
desperate leap for the other side. Un-
fortunately, the marshal was heavier
man than the sheriff, and when he
was about midway across the fence the
rail broke, throwing the marshal over,
head foremost and downward. with his

CAP ANNA GIVES
HIMSELF UP
Would Be Murderer Surren-
ders.
NOW IN v|NELAND JAIL
has Been In Hiding in Gloucester
County Since the Vineland
Shooting.

Last night Nicholas Capanna, the
Italian who shot and nearly killed his
brother Salvatore, surrendered him
self to the authorities in Vipeland
The tragedy occurred two weeks
since and the victim has been hover
ing between life and death. Since the
fateful shots were fired, the assailant
has been in hiding, successfully elud-
ing the efforts of the authorities to
capture him.
State Detective Frank ]. Lore has
been upon the case ever since the
shooting, and night and day he has
worked necessarily to get clue that
would lead to the detection of the fell
| low. The State Detective has had
constable Hamlyn and detective Wood
| ruff, of this city, and Constables
Toomey and Brossi of Vineland, on
the case. The latter have done excel
| lent work and have been indefatigable
| in their efforts.
All during the chase detective Lore
was satisfied that Capanna had not
! gone far from the scene of the crime
and he was further convinced that
there were those of Capannas rela-
tives who knew where he was in
hiding. Lore caused the arrest of a
number of Italians who he felt posi-
tive were and had been aiding the
fugitive from getting into the hands
of the authorities.
Lore finally worked out rather g
daring scheme whereby the climax
was reached, and in sheer sdespera-
ton, the hunted Italian came from his
hiding place and gave himself up te
the local authorities in Vineland. He
has been secreted all this time just
over the Cumberland county line il
Gloucester County.
Capanna will be brought to Bridge
ton probably some time today and
confined in the county prison.

POST
VERY POPULAR
Local Office Is Doing Much
Work.
BUSINESS IS GROWING
In Week 1897 Parcel Post PACK. .
ages Received, and 1,687
Mailed Out.

| The Parcel Post system of the post
office department is popular and is
working out to the very great conven-
ience and advantage of the public.
The post Office department has
asked for report from all of the first
and second class post offices relative
to the first seven days of January in
parcel post business.
Postmaster Davis makes an excel
lent report. He shows that since Jan
uary 1st there has been 1897 parcels
incoming and 1887 parcels outgoing.
Each day has brought an increase in
the business. The post includes prac-
tically every line of goods that are
mailabIe; merchandise and farm pro-
ducts.
Yesterday the local post Office sent
out 16 extra sacks.
In speaking of the new system this
morning. postmaster Davis expressed
surprise that the department had been
inaugurated so successfully and
smoothly. Despite the fact that there
had been great increase in business,
there has been no confusion and all
matter has been handled promptly.
The extra work has not burdened the
carriers from the fact that Postmaster
Davis delivers by wagon all packages
weighing over pound and half.
Postmaster Davis says he has many
further parcel post information. BY

WILSON L|CKS
f. |. EDWARDS

! Trenton, Jan. 7.-Governor Wilson
| conferred today with Democratic
| members of the Legislature, in an
effort to reach a definite conclusion
as to who shall be chosen as State
Treasurer next month to succeed
Daniel S. Voorhees,. The, candidates
for the position are Edward E. Gross
cup, who is backed by the Governor
and State, and Comptroller Edward l.
Edwards, who is backed by the Jim
Smith faction.
Several weeks ago Edwards called
upon the Governor to ascertain
whether or not the Governor opposed
his selection, and was informed that
the President-elect would oppose his
election. The reason for this oppo-
sition is twofold. The primary rea-
son is, of course, that he has the back
ing of the Smith. faction, while the
fact that Edwards is a banker also
prompts the Governor to oppose him
4nl. NlioOu uOCS uOL lutSuu " SduC-
ton the appointment of a banker to
position in which he will have au-
thority to designate what bankers
shall receive $1O,OOO,OOO in State de-
posits.
Edwards, on receiving this candil
statement from the Governor, defied
him and told him he would fight. He
also informed the Governor that he,
Edwards, would win it. Today he did
not seem so confident. He alleges that
patronage is being used against him.
In fact, he told the Governor so, but
Mr.. Wilson denied it. Today the Gov
ernor talked to the Democratic legis-
lators to such good purpose that
Grosscup now claims 43 out of the At
votes.

LOTS OF CASH
IS HANDLED
County Collectors an I'm
portant Office.
REPORT IS vOLUM|NOUS
Takes Oae Hundred and Ten Pages
of Typewriter :to Tell Story
of Finances.

The position of County Collector Of
Cumberland County is highly impor-
tant, one of the most important in the
entire community. The County Col
lector acts as treasurer of all the
County funds, and he is likewise the
disbursing officer paying out by check
every expenditure made by the county
under authority of the law or By di-
rection of the County Board of Chosen
Freeholders.
The salary of the County Collector
Is not an expensive one, but $1,000.
He is required to furnish bonds to the
amount of $50,000
During 1912 County Collector Bacon
received from all sources $474,37469.
OF this very nearly half million, he
expended $455, ,302.3S, leaving a bal
ance in his hands of $19,07231. Of
this amount but $124,000 was raised
! by taxation by the county
In presenting his annual detailed
report of the county finances, Collec-
tor Bacon uses up 110 pages of type
writer, showing a mass of figures,
there appearing every single item of
receipts and every item of expendi-
ture
An interesting phase of the report
shows the operation of the three prin-
ciple, county Offices serious loss to
the county under the salary system.
The loss is actually greater, than
shown by the figures of the report.
The offices last year did business
as follows:
Clerks office: Total receipts, $11,-
1866. Expenditure, $49,22626. Gain
to the county, $2,15O.4O.
Surrogate's office: Total expendi-
lures, $5,3S1.43. Receipts, $5,O35.73.
Loss to county, $34570.
Sheriff's office: Total expenditures,
$4,S12.O1. Receipts, $2,91S.95. Loss to
county, $1,S9S.O3.
| Cumberland county has a much
lesser bonded Indebtedness than most
of the counties of the state. The
bonded Indebtedness aggregates $193,-
900. The various items are as fol-
lows:
Insane Hospital. $4,000 $4,000

IlrSt essential OF justice in h body
polite, II men and women and children
be not shielded in their lives, their
very vitality, from the consequences
OF great Industrial and social processes
which they cannot alter, control, or
singly cope with. Society must see to
it that it does not itself crush or
weaken or damage it's own constituent
parts. The first duty of law is to keep
sound the society it serves.
Sanitary laws, pure food laws. and
laws determining conditions of labor
which individuals are powerless to de
termine for themselves are intimate
parts OF the very business of justice
and legal efficiency.
These are some of the things we
ought to do, and not leave the others
undone, the old-fashioned, never to be
neglected, fundamental safeguarding
OF property and of Individual right.
This is the high enterprise of the new
day; to lift everything that
our life as a nation to the light that
shines from the hearthfire of every
mans conscience and vision of the
right.
1t is uncomfortable that we should
do this as partisans; it is inconceiy-
able we should do it in ignorance of
the facts as they are or in blind haste.
We shall restore, not destroy. We
shall deal with u economic system
as 1T Is and as 1t may be modified, not
as it might be If We had a clean sheet
OF paper to write upon; and step by
step we sha-- make it what it should
be, in the spirit of those who question
W wisdom and seek counsel
and knowledge, not shallow s~elf-satis-
faction or the excitement of excursions
whittier they cannot tell. Justice, and
only justice, shall always be our motto.
Nation Has Been Stirred.
And yet it will be no cool process of
mere science. The nation has been
deeply stirred, stirred by a solemn
passion, stirred by the knowledge OF
wrong, of ideals lost, of government
too often debauched and made an in.
strument of evil. The feelings with
which we face this new age of right
and opportunity sweep across our
strings like some air out of Gods
W presence, where justice and mer.
cy are reconciled and the Judge and
the brother are one. We know our
task to be no mere task of politics, but
task which shall search us through
and through, whether We be able to
understand our time and the need of
our people, whether we be indeed their
spokesman and interpreters, whether
have the pure heart to comprehend
and the rectified will to choose our
high course of action.
This is not a day of triumph: it is a
lay OF dedication. Here muster. not
The forces of party, but the forces of
