celebrated Wax Works at the Associa-

membered as one of the most pleasant
entertainments that Morristown people
have yet enjoyed. For this evening of
rare fun and enjoyment credit and praise
is due to thirty nine of the most enthusi-

Whippany. Since the recent revival of
these enterprising folks of the spirit of
Mrs. farley and her quaint creatures the
character of the entertainment. given
twice and each time very successfully at
Whippany, has been told in these col

further explanation. sMrs. Jarley'' was
in perfect mood for the event and each
one of her assistants performed in a most
creditable manner. The Cuban tableaux,
repres snting the overthrow of Spanish
power in Cuba and the protection of the
island by the United States, supplement
ed by the singing of American patriotic
songs by hidden chorus, was one of the
special features of the evening and much
appreciated. The entertainment was
given jointly for the benefit of the Whip

and social work of the Boys Department
of the Young Mems Christian Associa-

seminary GROUNDS EXTENDED,

An important real estate transaction
just announced is the purchase by Miss
E. E. Dana from the Headley estate of
the lot between Headley road ana the
Seminary, the sale being effected through
the Morris County Mortgage and Realty
Go. The property has a frontage Of 100
feet on South street and extends back
400 feet on Headley road. 1t is under
stood that Miss Dana intends throwing
this property into the present extensive
grounds of the Seminary, thereby adding
immensely to the general appearance Of
the property. She may build cottage
on the rear portion of the newly acquired
property, facing on Headley road.
These improvements, with what Mr..
Willis is doing, in placing stone wall
around the lot bought by him last
spring, grading, etc., will greatly in
crease the attractiveness of the neighbor-
hood.

Notable Revolutionary record.

A. M. Sherman of this city returned
Wednesday from a trip to Bridgewater,
Mass, where he went to attend the in
terment of his mother, Lydia Whitney
Sherman, who died at Lynnbrook, N.
Y, Friday morning last in her Oath
year. The funeral service was held at
Lynnbrook Sunday morning. 1t is
worthy of note that Mrs. Sherman was
the daughter of Captain jeremiah
O'Brien of Machias, Maine, who during
the Revolutionary war commanded the
sloop Unity" which captured the
British armed schooner "Margueretta
in Machias bay on June II, 1775, the
sloop being armed by only sixty men,
few of whom had guns, with small sup
ply of ammunition. and others bore axes
pitchforks. 1t has been stated that this
first naval battle of the Revolution was
won by catholic. but records of the
family show that Captain O'Brien was a
loyal protestant. He served throughout
the war and for time commanded the
privateer Hannibal, which was captured
by two British frigates after a chase of
forty-eight hours. Captain O'Brien was
made a prisoner and confined to the
prison ship Jersey and later taken to
England and placed in Mill Prison, from
which he escaped by donning female at
tire and in company with another officer
crossed the English channel in rowboat
to France, returning thence to America.

around Quigley and the entire Lower

The Jumbo mine, it is reported, Will

ANOTHER PARK CITY FIRE,
CLOSE CALL FOR THE MARSAC
MILL AND REFINERY.
Originated From Hot Pulp-Depart-
ment Called Out and the Flames
Quickly Extinguished.

Park City, Aug. 21.-Park City has mad
another fire, which threatened to de-
stroy what remains of the east part OF
the city. The Marsac mill and refinery,
which occupy several acres just of
from Main street east, took fire at Ii
O'Clock a. M today and but for the eff
ficient efforts of the employees of the
Ontario company, would have gone up
in smoke. The fire originated in the
conveyor boxes, under the battery, and
was caused by hot pulp. (The core is
dried by rotary furnaces before 1T is
fed into the battery)
Dow Mott, who was tending battery,
examined the conveyors at 1O:4O O'Clock
and found everything working right
He went to the dry kiln to put through
some salt, and when he returned, hVe
minutes later, found the battery blaz-
ing. He gave the alarm at once, and
the boys soon had two streams of water
on the fire.
The city fire department responded,
and the fire was extinguished. This is
the second time this year that the
water system and private fire depart
ment have saved the Marsac mill.
The damage was light, and will only
require the replacement Of conveyor
boxes, which will be of iron. The mill
will be hung up for two days
