The True Story of How, When and Where th e B u r g l a r y w a s C o m m itted a s T o ld b y O n e o f th e G a n g —H e l d to A w a it h e A e t io n o f t h e G r a n d J u r y . -'This morning the four young men Johnson, Neal, Stanford and Price, who were arrested on a chsrte of burglariz ing the cars of the Erie railway company were arraigned before Justice Cox. Johnson and Neal, through their coun sel Wilton Bennett, waived examination and gave bonds in the sum of $800 each for their appearance before the Gtraud In the case oC Albert Price, accused of the same offense, he preferred an exami nation and appeared with his counsel, John W. Lyon, in readiness for same. The charge against Price was burglary and grand larceny, having stolen mer chandise from Erie cars in the company‘s yard in this village. Detective Brown was the first witness sworn. He testified that he \was a resi dent of Jersey City and a police officer in the employ of the N. Y. L. E. & W. rail road company. He and police offleerWm. Martin o f this village arrested Price be tween the hours of 6 and 7 o’clock on the evening of December 18th. In answer to the detective’s questions he said that on two occasions he had assisted in the rob bery of the cars. On one occasion he said that five aides of sole leather w tie taken and on another a quantity of ladies underwear. On these oc asions he said that Stanford, Johnson and a fellow named George Laonmg, whom the police ihave not yet captured were in the gang. John son was next sworn. He said he was a resident of Front street, this village. In answer to all questions about the burglary he said he knew nothing whatever of it and that he had said nothing to anybody about it. Detective Brown was again put on the stand and testified that John son did tell him o f the r.ibbery and the parties implicated in it. Johnson was arrested in a house on Jersey avenue in company with Neal and Price. Edward Stanford was next sworn. He acknowledged being one of the par ies implicated in the robbery, he said that the series of robberies took place last summer, generally about? or8 o’clock m the evening. He said that Price was in the gang, while two raids were made, and that on all oc casions the car seal was broken, and the doors opened by Lanning, he being the tallest in the gang, and the goods handed out by him and carried off by the rest. The cars broken into were always standing on the switch near the rear of Rosenkrans and Coonrod’s coal yard. He further stated that the goods stolen were always taken to Noithrup’s saloon, and were afterwards pmd for by him. He said that he thought the price paid for the five sides of leather was $18, and that he had received between two and three dollars for his share. According to his statement, the entire plans of the robbery were concocted byNorthrupin his saloon, and that he was led to laki part m it upon Northrup’s promise to pay his way out of jail, if he got arrested. In answer to the question why he told such a straight story,he said that his father told him to tell the truth and because if he had to go to jail he did not want to go alone. Officer Martin was next put upon the stand and corroborated Detective Brown's statement with regard to the ar- All the testimony now being given, John W. Lyon as counsel for Fr ee, asked that his client be discharged, claiming that there was no evidence given save that of Stanford which would warrant his being held, and that, as a point of law, the evi dence of Stanford could not be considered; he being an accomplice in the crime. Justice Cox thought differently however and held Price on the charge of burglary in the third degree to await the action of the Grand Jury. Bail was furnished in the sum of $800 for his appearance. From the above facts it will be seen that Northrop is the chief criminal of the gang. The plan of the robbery was con cocted by him in his low dive on Owen street, and he led the boys into the scheme by promises that if tney should get into trouble, he would pay their way out Again Lanning appeared to have been the captain of the gang in their unlawful operations. According to Stanford’s sworn statement it was be who on all occasions opened the car seals and handed out the goods. He 18 a hard case and this is by no means his first offence. He has already figured prominently in .our police courts on different charges. Although still at large it is to be hoped that ere long Detective Brown will have him placsd behind prison bars.

And each move natur ally gives rise to a good deal o f specula tion as to the probable effect upen this village and the number of men to be employed iu the shops at this place. The company are now making arrangements to enlarge and improve the car shops. The present facilities for repairing cars have been found to be unadequate- The narrowness of the present .'<hop and the close crowding together of the machinery, rendered necetsary thereby, have caused so much inconvenience that it has been considered necessary to extend them. The front end of the present building will be extended for a con siderable distance and a large portion of the car shop machinery removed into the new addition. This will make room to run a track down the center of the shop over which car wheels can be run to any spot where they are needed. Undir the present arrangement whenever a car needs a new wheel it has to be taken outside of the shop for that purpose. The new I aagement will enable tne car shop force to work to much better advantage and will be a decided improvement. It is not improbable that the extention and improve ment in the car shops will also result in some addition to the force of employed although there is no official authority for this statement. The plans for the new addition are now- being drafted and the work will he com menced very soon. The company has also under contem plation the constmetioa of an immense ice house at Narrowsburg for storing the ice supply of the Delaware and Eastern divisions which will be begun soon A DESERVING CHARITY.

B aestvillb , Dtc. 17.—Mr, Zidok Wil cox, for many years a resident of Eldred, died at the house o f a relative in Pennsyl vania on the 7th inst., and his remains were brought to Eldred where funeral services were held by Rev. Mr. Carson, a’ter which he was interred in the ceme tery there by the side of his wife and son. He was about 75 years of age. Some interesting meetings are being held in the church and we are hoping for good results. The oyster supper held by the Ladies Aid Society netted them $30 or over. The town has been having quite an extensive wall built to protect the river front, also a railing as a protection for trains and people passing along the high bank at night in front of, and a few rods beyond D, Bogart’s residence. The Red Mena Hail is nearing comple tion and will be an omameat to the place when finished. In view of the improve ments which have been made on River street iu the last few years, it may be called the Banner street- Mr, and Mrs, Harvey Davis from Delaware county, are in town and will go to housekeeping this week. Miss Minnie Carson is coming home fr.'.m Jersey City next Friday to spend the holidays.

I t wan Concluded Last Nlg-bt and 1 P e c u n ia r y S u c c e ss. The Episcopal church fair, which be gan under such promising auspices on Tuesday evening, was concluded last night. The attendance was all that could be desired and the pecuniary results greater than anticipated. The net cash proceeds of the fair were $140, which handsome sum will be Innsferred to the church treasury. The various tables were the scene of uninterrupted activity during the entire evening. The various articles, many of which displayed the highest degree of taste and skill, found ready purchasers and the contents of the various tables were disposed of during the evening. In such a bewildering variety of fancy and oraa- mental work of all kinds, it is scarcely possible to particularize but, in passing, the handsome table scarf on display at one o f the tables certainly demands spe cial mention. It was the work of Mrs. Frank Hardenburg. It was made of nile green satin with apple blossoms painted on one end and pond lilies and grasses on the other. This beautiful and artistic piece of work was the centre of admiring interest during the entire evening. A new feature of last evening’s enter tainment was a table fitted up in the Japanese style and supplied with Japanese dolls and scrolls. This table was pre sided over by Miss Hattie Allen andNeJJie Hardenberg and was popular and well patronized. The refreshment table as usual proved to be a popular institution and did a thriving business. This was under the charge of Mrs. David Swinton, Mrs. Wilooxen, Mrs. Archibald, Mrs. Josephine Winaus, Miss Anna Ackley, Miss Anna Brandt and other active and energetic ladies whose names we were un able to get. The entertaiument of the evening was substantially a repitition of Tuesday even ing’s program, and consisted of readings, songs and recitations, The reading of Longfellows “ Blind girl of Castelcullie ” by the rector Mr. Symonds accompanied by tableaux was the leading feature. An illustraied song by Miss Clara Laidley, was well received as was also a Spirited recitation by Miss Emma Wil- coxen. The nursery rhymes sung by the Sunday school children with a guitar ac companiment by Miss Rena Swinton was also a novel and pleasing feature of the program. _______ ____ _______ E L E C T IO N O F O F F IC E R S .

G o s h e n , Dec. 19. — ^There w a s b u t a bare quorum, when the Board was called to order this morning. A number of membcTs from the eastern portion of the county were detained by an accident to the engine of train 9, among them the Chairman Mr. R. S. Tuthill was called to the chair, and the minutes were read and approved. The Clerk read a communication from a taxpayer of Middletown, asking the Board to enforce the law which requires the Justices, to render an annual ac counting. The Law Committee reported that the law providing for the relief of indigent soldiers, scilors and mannes had been amended by Chapter 261, Laws of New York, 1888, thereby making it the duty of the Superintendents ol the Poor to pro vide such sums of money as may be necessary to be dravm upon in the same manner as heretofore provided for by law. The Commander of any Post under taking to furnish relief shall file a notice with the Superintendents o f the Poor that such relief is to be afforded. The com mittee recommend that each Supervisor shall notify their lespective town boards Of the change in the law. Under the former law it was the duty of the town authorities to set aside money for relief to be drawn by order of the Post Commanders. Hereafter this money will be paid from the Poor Funds of the county. The report was received. One o f the most important committees of the Board is the Law Committee. The members showed their appreciation of the valuable services rendered by this com mittee in adopting the following resolu tions offered by Mr. Murray : Resolved, That the effleiem promptness o f the Law Commit ee, particularly of Mr. Charles Keicham, chairman,' ------ \eserve -------- ‘ron ----- leicham, its this Board fi d I eptcial recogniiion. The arduous dutie requiring constant research among th taiutes, and ability to place a proper construction and intelligent application of the same to the many matters inirasted to the charge of said committee, have been exhibited in a high degree by Mr. Ketcham and his committee, and. Resolved, That the thante of this Board, representing the taxpayers of Or ange county, are hereby tendered Mr. Ketcham and bis committee. In order to enable the Supervisors to visit Orange Farm, the Board adjourned until to-morrow at 11 o’clock. The visitation ot the Boar 1 of Super visors to Orange Farm, where the poor and unfortunate of the county are cared for, is an annual occurrence. It has been so for many years, and it ought never to be omitted, so long as an institution so humane in its character as is this exists. The time once was when this yearly visita tion, and the accompanying dinner, was abused to such au extent that the feasting feature of the visit was omitted for a time by request of the Supervisors, and as a consequence, the one hundred or more invited guests, who assisted in doing pa triotic duty around the festive board, are no longer seen there. By invitation of Mr. John P. Monell, the Superintendent in charge, and in be half of his associate Superintendent of the Poor, Messrs. E, ;S. Puff and James L. Comfort, nearly all the members of the Board at 12 o’clock took the train at Goshen and a few minutes later brought up at Orange Farm. They were accom panied by Clerk Dunning, his assistant, Richard Kipp, and the reporter. At the Farm they were warmly welcomed by Superintendents Monell and Puff, Mr. Comfort having joined the party at Goshen, and Mrs. Monell addea her kindly greeting. Dr. Parries, the physician who has for many years faithfully cared for the county’s poor and insane, also gave a cor dial hondshake to the visitors. Arriving at the dinner hour of the in mates, the Supervisors afforded an oppor tunity of witnessing the feeding of about 75 old and infirm men, called by the bell, who were gathered around two long tables in the dining room down stairs. In front o£ each was a bowl of soup and a plate filled with plenty of well cooked meat, nice white bread, potatoes and other edi bles, the plates being replenished where needed. While here the dinner bell again sounded, this time for the members o f the Board. In answer to the summons, they repaired to the dining room above, where Mrs, Monell had prepared a feast of good and substantial things for the hungry Su pervisor'. A blessing was invoked on the meal by Supervisor Hadden, and then the feasting began. The dinner was a bounteous one, and reflected credit on the culinary depart ment over which the gracious hosteiB pre sides. As oue by one the Supervisore re linquished the task before them, Super visor Wood (familiarly called Uncle Billy) arose and with a countenance radiant with smiles and beaming with satisfac tion, spoke in approbation of the hospita ble manner of the reception, the excel lence of the cuisine, and the pleasure which had been afforded. He felt that iu expressing the sentiments of the Su pervisors, he felt there was no one more ipable of doing justice to the subject or tier qualified in this respect than the gentleman from Newburgh, Hon. J. C. Adams. Mr. Adams said that on an occislon like this, when the dinner was provided at public expense, he knew of no one.better qualified to do it justice than Mr. Wood. He was not in favor of the custom of making after dinner speeches on every festive occasion. But seriously speaking if he altered one word of what he felt on the present occasion, it would not give pleasure. To come here and witness what we have seen ; to think of the possi bilities of life—of men with minds, means and character, coming here bereft of rea son and fortune to spend their last days, is a sad subject to contemplate. And yet there is a bright side to this question, the happiness which the knowledge brings to us that there are institutions like this where the poor and unfortunate are so kindly and humanely cared for. Mr. Adams spoke in high terms of the excel lence of the management of this institu tion, and warmly praised Mrs. Monell, who, as was evidenced by the table she had so bounteously prepared, was “ the right woman in the right place.” Mr. Ketcham was called on to speak. He responded in a humorous vein, being a combination o f wit and sarcasm, intro duced With allusions and hard hits which were fully appreciated and enjoyed by the members at whom they were aimed, closing with words of praise for Mr. Monell and his estimable wife. Mr. R, S. Tuthill made a short and ef fective speech. It vacated the seats around the table, and made happy thosi who were waiting for their dinner on the outside. The Supervisors then made a tour of inspection through the Insane . Asylum, Ooniintted on fourth •page.

It is a matter of common gossip about town, that for some time prior to his de parture from this ■village, the relations be tween the Rev. Calvin A. Hare,the former pastor o f the Baptist church, and certain members of that church, were somewhat strained, a fact which gave rise to con siderable unpleasantness in its affairs. The rupture instead o f healing seemed to grow worse and it finally resulted in a severance o f Mr. Hare’s connection with the church. There was, we suppose a mutual understanding, that inasmuch as they could not agree ard inasmuch as the pastor’s presence in the church was a con tinual bone of contention among th© members, that they had better separate, and in the interests of naimony, the pastor stepped down and out.” Sometime in the month of September last Mr. Hare received a call from the Biptist church at Doylesiown, Pa., which he accepted, and thereupon he tendered nis resignation as pastor of the church in this place, which was likewise accepted. Subsequently a controversy arose be- r patisl lueue uimxm era as to the amount of salary d u or rather as to the date of the teimination of his service as pastor of the Port Jervis church. The church claimed that his service as pastor ceased on the first day of October last and that inasmuch as his salary was paid up to that date, he had no further claims upon them. Hare, however, con tended that by the original ageeement be- tween himself and the church, when he oocame its pastor he was entitled to one month’s vacation iu each year, to be taken it such time and in such manner as he •aw fit. Up to the first of October of the -ast year o f his service, he had taken but t wo of the four weeks due him under this agreement, and in ^iew of this fact, he claimed the right to insist upon his salary tanning until Oct. 15, although he had perform e d bo pastoral o r m inisierial worK alnce the 1st of the month and in the meantime had accepted a call elsewhere and received salary from the 1st day of October. The last two weeks he counted on his arrears of vacation. To this proposition the church dissented and a somewhat heated controversy ensued, which finally r. suited in the claim being placed in the (lands of lawyer Bennett for c-ollecUon.
