Band of highwaymen terrorizes Spotswood area
Reports describe a trio of masked robbers raiding residents including Mr. and Mrs. Lane and Mr. Hillyer around Spotswood. A pursuing posse captured one suspect near Spotswood while others fled. Dr. Denelsbeck later captured another robber after a hold up near the railroad. The board discusses the Perth Amboy South Amboy bridge plans and related bids, with a focus on engineer McCann’s proposals. Cranberry prospects near Farmingdale are poor due to late frosts, and Senator Matt Quay rents a seaside cottage at Atlantic City for the season. The Pennsylvania Railroad offers reduced excursion fares to Butte for the International Mining Congress.
