Sweeney Not Worrying Any.

AS an echo of the late anti-gamb-
ling crusade in this city, Detective
Charles E. Sweeney, head of the
agency that collected the evidence,
dropped into town yesterday, but
denied that he was doing any de-
tecting."
Questioned as to whether he had
received payment for the work of
his agency-a question which is
agitating the minds of many people
locally-he said that he wasn't
worrying a particle and didn't ex-
pect to, because the city was worth
it, anyway.
Speaking of the crusade of three
months ago, here, he stated that a
hundred men could have been round
ed up as easily as fifty.
His second man. who was here
twenty-four days without ever being
suspicioned, was invited to sit in"
at card game, right in a public
place.
Sweeney said that he would not
undertake the same kind of a cru
SADIE in Pennington, because that was
his native town, but he didn't mind
doing it in Lambertville.
Much interest was manifested in
his appearance here, and it's likely
that there will be profound quiet
while he remains.

Threatened His Wife.

William Slack, of 233 North
Union Street, was held under 5000
bond to keep the peace by Recorder
Dilts Monday, after hearing upon
charges preferred by his wife.
1t was alleged that Slack called
her foul names and threatened
bodily injury. Ida Slack, daugh-
ter, and William Slack son, to-
gether with Mrs. Leah Naylor, a
boarder corroborated Mrs. Slack S
statements.
Miss Sarah Allen, neighbor
living next door, testified that she
had heard Slack using loud, abusive
language.
The court room was cleared of
spectators, as much of the testimony
was not suitable for outsiders to
hear.
Slack was sent to the county Jail
for ninety days, according to the
decision of Recorder Dilts, after be-
ing unable to secure a bondsman.

KILLS WIFE AND
SHOOTS HIMSELF
Frank Haughawout Dies Four DAYS
After Enacting Terrible
Double Tragedy.
MURDER DONE ON THE STREET

Frank Houghawout, in a fit of
dependency and jealous rage, shot
and killed his wife while she was
upon her way to work in the local
canning factory at 7 o'clock last
Thursday morning.
He fired two shots at her. one
entering her head and the other pass
through her back and liver. He
then turned the revolver upon him.
self, sending a bullet through the
front part of his skull, it passing
out the other side.
A number of people, all passing
or standing near the corner of
Union and Elm Streets, where the
shooting occurred, rushed to the
spot.
Robert Britton caught hold of
Haughawout and Ralph Ambrosia
took possession of the revolver, but
neither could reach him soon enough
to prevent the double tragedy.
Mrs. Haughawout was carried to
the home of her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. William B. Seals, 8 Elm
Street, where she died within a
few minutes.
Haughawout was carried into a
nearby shed and City Physician
Larson, and Hunterdon County
Coroner James |. Bumster were
summoned. Later he was removed
to the city lookup, where his wounds
were dressed, after which he was
taken to the Mercer Hospital,
Trenton.
Haughawout had been out of
employment for some time, and he
and his wife had not lived with
each other steady for some years.
They had one daughter, Alice,
about nine years of age. He was
80 years old, and his wife few
years youngen
Some days before he purchased a
32-calibre revolver from an Italian,
but did not have any cartridges,
at that time.
He left two letters, for relatives
in one of which he said that he in
tended to end it all.

EXCITING DAY
ATBUCKINGHAM
While Florence Cope Was Being
Buried Murderer Robbed
Relatives House,
MINISTER'S TEAM is STOLEN

While the funeral of Florence
Cope, the eighteen year old girl
who was murdered by her uncle.
was being held at Buckingham
Valley last Friday afternoon the
fugitive murderer robbed the home
OF another relative, horse their
stole Rev. ]. B. Krewson's team.
and her sister Bessie and an uncle
B. Frank Cope, nearly collapsed
with grief.
John A. Cope, who committed
the terrible deed on the Monday
previously, had evidently been
hiding around the barn of Clinton
Cope, the girls father, for some
time, and later around the place of
another brother, B. Frank Cope
During the absence of the latter's
family, who were attending the
niece's funeral, a couple of miles
away, he broke into the house.
where he fitted himself out with
suitable clothing. He also took a
revolver, two razors and a bottle of
whlskey.' He left note declaring
that shooting was all an accident.
and that he would soon make way
with himself. From his brothers
home he was traced, by a police
dog, to the Bucks County Electric
Railway line, and is believed to
have been seen in Doylestown later.
A man giving his name as M. ].
higgins, of Orange, N. j., stole the
rig of Rev. j. B. Krewson, of
Forest Grove, but in driving it
through that village, the horse
turned IN home where it was recog-
nized. Making his escape, by
plausible explanations, he returned
to the Cope home where the funeral
was being held, with the probable
intention of taking another rig.
One of the newspaper men present
recognized him and he was taken
into custody, and later Jailed at
Doylestown. He appeared to have
been drinking at the time.
Hundreds of men, women and
children attended the funeral of
the murdered girl. The services
were conducted by Rev. T. A. Bell,
of Buckingham, and Rev. j. B.
Krewson, of Forest Grove. Inter
ment was at Mechanicsville. Twelve
young men, from Miss Cope,s
graduating class, acted as bearers,
SIX serving as active bearers, and
six as honorary bearers.

A KICK ABOUT
GOING TO FIRES
Councilman 0blinger Opposes Local
Firemen Answering Rural
Call For Help. .
ROUTINE OF CITY'S AFFAIRS

Councilman Oblinger protested
against the city fire company's ap-
paratus being sent out on every fire
alarm within ten miles, at Monday
nights meeting of the city fathers.
No action was taken, however.
The only rural fires attended within
year was when the Fleet Wing went
to Stacy S. Johnson's, three miles
out of New Hope, and to the Pax
son fire, at Buckingham, seven
miles out.
Councilman Banchoff wanted to
know why the Hibernia Fire Com
pany had not received the $1,000
promised them by the city, in ad-
dition to $4,000 already paid.
City Clerk Reynolds stated that the
Columbia and Union Companies had
each received 81, 900. Councilman
Foltz said that the Hibernia had al
ready received $500, and he
thought the appropriations ought
to be more evenly divided. No
action was taken,
Chief Arnett wanted council to
establish a line on Church street,
so that autos standing there would
allow sufficient room for the Union
Company's apparatus to get out of
their house at the time of fire.
Recorder Dilts' court collected
$3.50 in fines for the month of
September, according to the report
submitted to the city council.
The tax rate in the city of Lam
bertville will be $1.87 per 500 of
valeation for the current year, the
budget having been passed by coun-
ell.
Councilman Holcombe said that
number of people had asked that
signs be placed at Union and York,
and Main and York streets, point
ing out the way to New York and
other places. The street committee
was empowered to act.
Fifty dollars was collected in
licenses from small shows for the
quarter ending October |.
New tubes, to replace those in
bad condition in the steam roller,
were authorized and ordered paid
for.
Councilman John said that the
Misses Smith would give a shade
tree to be planted near the Third
Ward school building, and it was
accepted and referred to the shade
tree commission.
The usual routine of bills and
quarterly salaries were ordered paid.
Lights, streets and poor constituted
the only monthly bills above 500.

Fire Company for demonstration
purposes, will soon be here. Should

the apparatus, all four companies
will be equipped with autos.
