BULLITT CASE REVERSED.
Supreme Court Decides That Charge
of Larceny Was Not Sustained.
Trenton, N. J. Feb. 20. The convic
tion of Logan F. Bullitt, of Philadel
phia, on a charge of larceny, In the
Capo May county court, was to lay re
versed by tho supreme court. Tho
charge against r.ullltt was that of
breaking and entering a building, nnd
taking therefrom pnpeis belonging to
James E. Taylor.
The court in Its decision says that
tho evidence showed tint Bullitt
caused the destuictlon of an olllce
building occupied by Taylor, but lo
cated on the ground of tho South Jer
sey Railroad company. That Bullitt
took from the building papers of tho
Franklin Electric Light company, of
which bo Is president, and of vvldch
Taylor was foimerly manager: that he
took pilvate pnpeis belonging to Tay
lor and put them In a barrel near the
destroy ed building, and that Taylor
had notice of this. The court siya
fuither that this was not larceny:
tint Bullitt had no Intention to lotaln
Tnyloi's pipeis. Ills act, the couit
said, was only repteheniblo tresspass,
which would foim nr. incident in a,
suit for civil damages.

For the Babies.
There Is no better medicine for the
babies than Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. Its pleasant taste and prompt
and effectual cures make It a favorite
with motheis and small children. It
quickly cures their coughs and colds,
preventing pneumonia or other serious
consequences. It also cuies croup and
has been used in tens or thousands of
cases without n single failure so far as
we have been able to Icain. It not
only cuies croup, but when given as
soon as the cioupy cough appears, will
prevent the attack. In cases of whoop
ing cough It liquefies the tough mucus,
making it easier to expectotate, and
lessens the severity and frequency of
the paroxysms of coughing, thus de
pi Iving that disease of all dangeious
consequences. For sale by all drug
