Neither man attempted to make any pleading non vult. Both were remnnded for sentence.

Burglars entered the jewelry store of A. Craig Yooraees, on Church street, last night and succeeded in getting away -with silverware, jewelry and watches to the value of at least The robbery was discovered this morning by Charles Morris, who Ia employed in the store as clerk. On openiog the door he noticed that one of the show cases was open, and that a nnmber of plush cases were lying on the top of it. He picked up a napkin ring badly bent from the floor. In the rear part of the store used as a bicycle repair shop, were a number of jewelry cases opened and empty.

that a robbery had been committed he notified Mr. Voorheea and the police. The thief or thieves made a good haul. The show cases were well cleared of valuable silver and silver plated spoons, knives, forks and other plate. The repair, desks were stripped 01 jewelry that had been left for repairs and a number of watches were taken.

Mr. Voorhees estimates his loss at about $500. No attempt was made to open the safe, in which is kept the etock of diamonds. There is. a night watchman on Church he seems to have noticed nothing suspicious.

The fact that the burglars took both solid and plated ware seems to indicate that they were amateurs. Appearances indicate that the front door, which is fastened with an ordinary spring lock, was opened with a duplicate key, and that the burglars then calmly turned down the night light very low, emptied the show cases, carried their plunder into the "back room, and there opened and emptied the plush'cases and boxes, leaving them behind. The job -was evidently done by some one acquainted with the general arrangement of the store. OLD BRIDGE CORRESPONDENCE. Breezy Jottings from eral Events in Helme.tto—Inter* estiug County News.

BUEQLABS AT An to Bob the Railroad Offlce. Two strangers early this endeavored to break the ticket officeof the Peansylvania railroad at Metuchen. They did not succeed, however, and made their escape before Night: Watchman F. Warner could fire upon them. The'rogues had used a diamond to cut a glass at the south end of the depot and bad used a jimmy to force the grate.

They evidently waited until a freight train'was passing before breaking the window, so that the noite would not be heard by Night Watchman Warner. He heard the crash, however, and went for the men, but they hastily beat a re, treat and got out of range of a pistol shot. One of the men wore a light suit of clothes and the other wore dark clothes and a straw hat and carried a satchel, presumably to hold the booty if they got any. It must have been burglar's: night last night, for the Pennsylvania railroad office at Scott East was broken into, and several hundred tickets were stolen. PBOSPSCT PLAINS, Dec.

In fact he often imperilled and life the performance of his duty, and many timea, while weak from physical suffering, he has pi related in remaining at hia post. He aad beea a member of the force for five years and several months, having been appointed at a meeting of common council held July 1888. Prior to that time he had served thres years as constable fronrthe Sixth ward. The good reputation made in this position did much to secure his appointment to the force. before being made a regular patrolman he served a number of times as extra, or chance man.

A ago his health commenced to fail, sad frequent hemorrhages sapped his strength. He waa possessed of remarkable and made a splendid flght. Several times he was forced to take extended vocatloQs, but always came off victorious, and after a season spent in bed would return to 'his position. He grew weaker each time, however, and on. Nov.

Brave In the performance of his duly, he was modest in manner and was a man of action rather than words. HI? death, leaves a gap that it will be h0rd to ail. The death of Officer Ward recalls the remarkable fact that though the New Brunswick police force, as an organized body has been In eslstence for nearly a quarter of a century, the number of deaths has been strangely few. The department was organized in April, 1869.

Since that time but four members of the force have died while connected with it. Ex-officers, there have been, "of course, who NEW Toss, knows much about that eccentric Mr. Public Confidence, Is aware of fact' that hia comings sod goings are carefully I Mrs." concealed from the Sea of ordinary mortals, and that those highly favored individuals who are gifted with the spirit of prophecy, oft time 1 snake et bad-breaks by trying to guess whereabouts he hqs failed to leave bis post office address behind bim. According to the be0t information to be bad from the'Bulia and Bears of Wall street, whom I interviewed today, old Public Confidence started off on his last grand jamboree in July, when hejsicked two highly reapect- able Trusts into the gutter, knocked oat several banks in Sullivan etjle, ani finally grabbed-all the money.

Stewart realized that the popular fancy was turning from sentimental trash to good and wholesome comedy. He was out for money and he constructed 'The Two Johns' as a money maker.
