Janitor of Cub Promptly
Pleads Guilty
VICTIM MARTIN FISHER
Has BeenoI In Charge of Long Estab
lished Club Room CO East
Commerce Street

A few days since upon complaint
of Public Safety Commissioner George
H. Hughes, Morton Fisher was taken
in custody charged with the violation
of ordinance No. It's, by selling liquor
in Bridgeton without license.
Fisher has for some time been jan
itor of the long established beer club
rooms in the Henry Maier building on
East Commerce street.
Last night Fisher appeared at City
Hall and pleaded guilty to the viola
tion of the city ordinance. Mayor
Whitaker, following his policy of CIV
ing more severe punishment in club
room cases, made the fine $100. The
money was promptly paid and Fisher
was discharged.
In this case Commissioner Hughes
had started after bigger game and ex-
pected that the evidence disclosed at
the trial would prove more than usu-
ally interesting. The pleading guilty
by Fisher cut off the trial and thus no
evidence was made public. 1t is un-
derstood that Fisher has resigned as
ianitor.

NEAR M|LLv|llE

Millville, N. j., Feb. 24.-With a hole
stove in her side from striking huge
cake Of floating ice, the big steam
barge Samuel Hartman, Captain Will
liam Cassidy sank in Maurice river
last night at Menhaden, a few miles
south of Millville, and the crew es-
capped in the lifeboat in their night
clothes.
The barge, laden with 800 tons of
coal for Millville firm, attempted to
reach the city several times since the
cold weather started, but each time
has been forced to turn back by the
threatening ice. Last night the ves-
sci was picking its way through the
ice when it struck a floating mass.
The boat lies in about twenty feet
of water and wrecking inspectors Wis

old one. is owned by J. Paxon Com

An attempt was made last night to
burglarize the Security Pawn Shop on

Early this morning police officer w.

had been broken from the window of
the pawn shop, the east display win
dow on the street. A pane of glass
was mashed in by the entrance door.
The policeman at once notified the
owners of the place.
The window was filled with a lot of
goods on display, including much
cheap jewelry, watches, revolvers and
such articles. An investigation showed
that nothing had been carried off ex-
cepting perhaps two. or three revoi-
vers which were Of little account
Evidently the persons breaking the
window were frightened off before
they could make a cleaa up. Had the
entire contents of the window been
carried off there would not have been
any serious loss.

WOMAN IN MISERY
With MUCH MONEY
Mary Russell Accumulated
Considerable Cash.
LIVED UPON CHARITY
Woman on North Laurel Stree t
Saved Every Dime She Could
Get and Neighbors Gave
Her Living

Mary Russell, the woman hermit
who died last week in her ill-kept
home on North Laurel street, was for
years most miserly, and while sympa-
thetic neighbors were constantly aid
ing her and giving her everything pos
sible for sustenance and physical COM
fort she was engaged in boarding
away every penny she could secure
erwise.
None of the kindly neighbors had
any idea that the woman possessed a
dollar, and everyone sympathized with
her apparent poverty as she lived her
| lonely life in the little house that was
none too well kept.
| Miss Russell was an eccentric wo-
man and undoubtedly somewhat i'm
paired mentally. She was an ungain-
ly creature and always slovenly and
uncouth in her personal appearance.
Following her death relatives took
i
lifeless the day following her lonely
death, and given a Christian burial.
Later search of the premises was
made and to the amazement Of those
who had followed the woman and her
habits closely, considerable money
was found.
A quart can was found to be com
pletely filled with dimes which hat
been from time to time deposited, and
the receptacle hidden away. Othel
money was found secreted, and large
. purse stuffed with bills is also sait
to have been discovered secreted away
, in the house. One who had oppor
tunity of seeing the accumulation o.
} cash in various forms, remarked thai
the amount was in the hundreds. How.
ever, relatives of the dead woman will
make no statement of the finding.
Since the discovery of the money
neighbors who were kind to Miss Rus,
sell while in life, remember that fre-
quently she would come to them witt
pennies and want them exchanged fol
nickle or dime. 1t is recalled tha
she was particularly anxious to pro
cure ten cent silver pieces. The find
ing of the hoarde IN =fimes explains
, this particular activity. "
Other neighbors now recall thai
Miss Russell very often expressed ap
prehension lest her home should be
entered by thieves, but at the time lit
tie attention was paid TO her fears, as
it was felt that her mind was dis.
ordered.
