dent of Miller street, died Wednesday
evening it is thought from the effects of a
fall in his home on Monday night. DIR.

suffering severely in the two days
between the accident and his death,
he was able to make his will.
Mr.. Hickey was in his Goth year.
He. had served for several years as
gardener on the Colonel Revere

Mills Street Barn Burns Down.

Fire Alarm Box No. GA had its initial
call about 2 o'clock last Saturday after
noon, fire being discovered in the small
barn OF j. A. Blanchard on Mills street.
The fire was probably started by a
bonfire near the barn, and the
building, with contents -including sew
eral pieces of furniture partially
destroyed: The house adjoining, owned
by E. J. Looney and occupied by Ed
ward Osmun, also took fire, but the
flames were quickly extinguished. The
new chemical engine of Independent
Hose Company did excellent work and
its usefulness and practicability were
demonstrated for the first time in active
duty in Morristown. An interesting
feature of the response to the alarm was
the race of the fire companies up Speed
well and Sussex avenues. The Indepen-
pendents, with the chemical engine, were
the first out of the house and were cross
ing Park place when the truck came
out of the house; just an instant later
Humane Engine went flying up Speed
well avenue. The Independents over
hauled the Resolutes, and Humane En-
CINE overhauled both., AT early street
three companies were abreast; then HUI
name Engine seemed to leap to the head,
which she held well, arriving at the fire
first. Independents and Resolutes raced
almost neck to neck for the remaining
distance, coming in exactly even. though
enthusiasts of each company claim the
race.

Burgar4y ON south street.

The Skidmore house on South street,
now occupied by A. G. Downing and
family, was entered by burglars early
last Saturday morning. entrance being
made through the library win
dow on the first floor. A considerable
amount Of silverware, incluing several
valuable anniversary gifts and an over
coat belonging to Mr.. Downing, were
taken. The two drawers containing the
silverware were removed and taken to
the lawn in the rear of the house and
there examined, and only the solid ware
taken, the thieves even applying an acid
test. All this tends to substantiate the
belief that the burglary was the work of
New York crooks. Nigntwatchman
Boss, who patrols the vicinity. reports
that he saw two men on the street about
4 o'clock in the morning, but supposed
they were returning from dance. 1t is
now believed thatthey..were the burglars.
The total loss amounted to over thou
sand dollars.

Not Much Fuss About 1t, Either.

We have had the pleasure of being
shown some of the finest manItels and
fireplaces in town, that were furnished
by Wagner & Minch, the Marietta
mantel people. A few of those we saw
were j. w. Simpsons, on Fifth street;
w. G. Ways, Fifth street; o. K Ham

Berry's, Filth street; j. e. Phillips,
Eighth street; Frank Weber, Pike
street, and many others, including
many of the best residences in the city,
and they report a very good out of
town trade. They have been compell-
ed TO cancel some of their orders that
they were unable to furnish on ac-
count of having more than they could
do, but they have bought more than
two car loads of mantels, some of
which have already been shipped, and
are now. able TO meet all demands.
When asked about competition they
simply said they had none, that their
prices were so low that their competi-
tors were not in it at all.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that ia by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
taehian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, ann when il is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be Ia
ken out and this tube restored TO its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever, nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

There is no ambition nobler than that of

The Athletic Clubs First Exhibit
tion.

According to arrangement the hf-
teen-round glove contest between Joe
Bruner and Tommy Hooley took place
at the Auditorium last night. The au-
dience presnt was not large, but very
appreciative and expressed them
selves well pleased with the exhibit
tfon excepting the decision which pop
ular expression seemed to give to
Hooley. The referee, however, declar-
ed the contest a draw.
1t had been advertised that a decis-
ion was to be made, and no draw
would be tolerated. Nevertheless the
referee said a draw, and a draw il
must be.
Bruner seemed to force matters
most of the time, but Hooley did moi
lose many opportunities to land on his
head and neck.
At the beginning of the ninth round
the lights began to fail and when the
gong sounded for the end of the rount
IL was too dark to continue. The
trouble was with the boiler in the
light plant having burst a flue, allow
ing the steam TO go down. The small
boiler was fired up and steam raised
to furnish light sufficient TO continue
