HOW TT LOOKS AT MT. HOLLY

From the Mt. Holly Herald"
Vice Chancellor Pitney seems to have
lost his head in his Feasibility by calling
up an innocent reporter, taking his notes
from him and tearing them up, ending
py ordering him out of his court room.
AS the reporter was doing no harm,
simply doing the work assigned him by
his superdors, and as the case was one
OF public Importance, in which two rail
roads were fighting each other over a
grade crossing, and the travelling people
are deeply concerned, it would seem as
If the Vice Chancellor acted in a very
arbitrary manner.

PAPER.
From The Bergen County "Demo

From the Bergen County democrat"
To print a 1.-THE of the remarks which
nave been made as to the most extra
ordinary action of Vice Chancellor Pit
ney IN open court in Newark On Mon
day last would raise a question as to his
sanity. = But the action of Vice
Chancellor Pitney Is in keeping with his
record on the bench. OF all our Vice
Chaneellors, Pitney IS universally detest-
ed by the lawyers who are compelled
to practise before him. His appointment
was made at the instigation of Governor
Werts while Senator, Pitney's friends
helping to elect the Democratic ticket
IN Morris county in 1890, in considera-
ton of the appointment. Mr.. Ptney's
friends should advise him to resign.

ner at No. 3 Griffiths street yesterday
and requested the latter to cash a check
for d $780,. Mr.. Meixner did not have the

endorsing the check and having 1t
cashed FOR him. FrederJcks received
the money. Shortly afterwards Mr..
he had cashed was a worthless one.
The arrest of Fredercks followed. but
before Judge Douglass this morning
the complainant Withdrew his charge
on the ground that 1t was all a joke.
1t was stated tina Fredericks returned
the money before he was arrested.
Judge Douglass acquitted the prisoner.

PASSED OVER.
From the Montclair Herald"

The action of Vice Chancellor Pitney
in dealing with a representative of the
press lately would be in high favor with
the Gear of Russia, but in free Jersey or
in other civilized community the
sChancellor's acton was a blow at the
general pubic. 1t is a well established
fact tina the proceedings in an open
court are matters of public interest, but
the action of the Chancellor in calling
to the bar a court reporter and conf1s-
eating his notes was a high handed
piece of assumption that should not be
passed over lightly by the press of the
State.

TRENTON. August 6. 1S95.-There is
some misapprehension in regard to the
sale of the official junk in the State
House vaults by Custodian Bonnell,
the impression being that the one hum
dred tons of documents sold and which
is to b. removed by today, includes
bound volumes. This is an error.
The Custodian did not sell the bound
reports. and in fact the purchaser did
not want what was offered, as there
would nave been no profit in them at
any price.
All that was sold were the pamphlet
reports and other documents not bound.
And there is an amazing accumulation
of these, with no call for them from any
quarter. The Custodian has retained
enough of them to meet any future
requirements, and what has been dis
posed of is nothing better thar waste

APoliceman Discharged.

At meeting held by the police COM
mittee in the city hall this morning IL
was decided to:request the Mayor to re-
move officer John B. Gormly OF Station
from the force.
On the night OF September % and
October he was found in barn at
Roger Williams Park when he should
have been somewhere else. AT roll call
ON the evening of October o he said that
IL any OF his superior officers came upon
his beat he would call 'Halt, - and II
hey did not halt that he would shoot.
While the police committee are confident
that Gormly would not carry ms threat
into execution, they deemed 1t better to
have him removed than to have any more
trouble with him.
After the committee had dispersed OF
Gormly's case one or two members OF the

discharge officer Owen T.. Brahany. but

were suffocatd by gas smoke In coal
mine two and half mites fro3 Story
City. The dead are: Albert Peterson,
single; Alexander Eastman, single, 4.
Negeson, single; George Payne, married,
leaves wife and three children.
The men were in the mine Just at clos
ing time. The engineer had built big
fire in the furnace which hoists the cage
and left for his supper. While he was gone
the timber adjacent TO the furnace caught
fire and the flames reached the cable at
tached TO the cage. When the engineer
returned he attempted TO hoist me cage
with the men but the cable broke and
they fell to the bottom of the shaft. The
fall was not over tbSee feet, ana they
were uninjured. The mine was flliing
with smoke from the burning wood ana
there was no other mode of egress for
them. -
George Payne was foreman OF the little
gang of miners, and they followed him to
one of the cells, thinking they would
bank themselves in and prevent the smoke
from entering. The cell was only 100 feet
from where the wScd was burning, but be-
fore they could enter and build up the
barricade they were suffocated.

Did II rain?
Yes IL did.
Consequently the boot blscking indus
try took on a lively character this morn
ing and everybody remarked TO his neigb-
Dor that he never knew IT TO rain SO hard
before. While this was not absolutely
correct, still Ii is certain that Providence
has not been visited by such heavy rain
fall, with one exception, since 1887, when
the city water department began TO keep
the record of such things. The last storm
began at II: :15 ID. m. last Saturday and
ceased at 3 q. m. this morning, period OF
80 hours. During that time 5.25 inches
Of rain fell, the greatest depth reached De
ing O.44 inches between 5:15 and 6:l6
%. m. yesterday. The storm commenced
with the wind south and IL shortly after
ward shifted, an unusual thing, also, the
mean direction on Saturday being r.. ~.
T., and reached a maximum velocity OF
% miles between IL and II O'Clock last
evening. This Is an extraordinary velooi-
ty for this season OF the year, sueh WINDS
generally occurring in January, febru-
airy and March, although about three
weeks ago a maximum velocity OF DO
miles an hour was attained-the time
when the giant weeping willow on Eddy
street and other trees were uprooted.
The exception noted TO this last heavy
rainfall was on February II, IL and IL,
inches fell. The next rainfall OF any
magnitude was on September 20 to rs,
inclusive, 1882, 4 5s inches falling in l45
hours.

BILE than the previous ones however, when
