"Bloody Tangipahoa" Adds Another
to the Long List. The Parish Ter.
r0rixed by Outlawry.

/
| rorized By Outlawry.
New ORLEANS, Dec. 17.-"Bloody
Tangipahoa" has added another TO tht
list OF assaesinations that have rendered
that parish remarkable in crimina
annals.
For years band Of regulators has ter.
rcrized that part Of Louisiana, murder
ing, burning, and marauding. A split in
the ranks OF the bandit organization has,
moreover, kept the parish in constant
turmoil, and no less than thirty murders
can be traced directly to the so-called
Hyde and Goss factions.
Hyde and the two GOsses have died by
murderers' hands, and the opposing par.
ties are known now as the Reid and BAN.
bert factions. "Joe" Reid, the bravest
OF his party, was killed a year ago, and
his brother, Judge Reid, OF Tangipahoa,
now leaves his house only in the day.
time only when attended by a guard.
and never at night. The Bambert party,
now in control, have turned their atten-
to the sawmills, debating who should
and who should not be employed. Two
weeks ago Z. Preston, its manager, and
a man named Varnado, whose brother
was previously assassinated, were warned
to leave the parish. The former departed.
but Varnado remained, and was shot
through the lungs by Otto Bambert last
week. Last night the tables were turned,
and it was a man named Conerly, a pro.
mlnent leader OF the Bambert party, who
fell by the bullets of four assassins in
ambush, who lay in wait near CoDerly's
house.
Work at the mills throughout the
parish is demoralized, as the men are
threatened by the Bambert gang. 1t is
said by the so.called regulators that the
mills were inducing the men to leave
;he employ of the small planters, and
hat they had no one to pick cotton.
This was met by the mills agreeing not
o employ any negro who could not chow
clearance papers from his last employer,
ct the terrorizing continued and con.
lnues still, and the condition of lawless-
less in the parish is daily growing worse,
he negro issue being put up to tie the
lands OF the State authorities.

PASSAGES NEW TROUBLE.

A telegraphic dispatch-news of this
sort always comes in hurry-from Pas
sale reveals strange state of affairs in
that town. The Board of Health says
the population of Passaic is indulging in
large quantities of kissing, and ought to
stop it-that is, stop some of it. An old
disease with a new French name--La
Grippe lis abroad in Passaic, and while
other causes may contribute to its preva-
lence, the chief criminals are the kissers
says the Board of Health. The Board
implores the people of Passaic to cease
their too frequent oscillations" Very
likely the Board itself will set the COM
munity an example of rigorous self
denial, and will refuse to kiss. The
Board also cautions its constituents to
ssboil their water" By this is probably
meant Passaic river water. This is the
drinking water of PASSAGES citizens, and
the next best thing to boiling it is not to
drink it in any shape in which it may
present llSelI. Ii IL we STUN, summer
or winter. and is warranted TO load a
man up with malaria quicker than any
other agency known. The only thing
known to be meaner than PASSAGES water
is PASSAGES whisky, and when the two
come together in the stomach of a
human being, trouble ensues for which
there is no parallel. Even La Grippe,
caused by too much kissing, pales into
insignifcance.

A CRASHING EXPRESS COMPANY.

A representative of the United States
Express Company asked Mayor Quayle
yesterday for permission to run delivery
wagons on Sunday in order to relieve a
badly congested condition of affairs at
the local Office. The Mayor promptly
informed the inquirer that he could not
grant the desired permission.
The attitude of the United States
Express Company in Morristown for
several years past has been open to we'll
deserved censure by an exceedingly
patient and long suffering people For
instance, when the question of a branch
Office was agitated several years ago, the
company agreed to establish one in the
business center of the town. Instead, it
simply hired desk room in the office of
the Western Union Telegraph Company,
arranging with the manager of the latter,
already an overworked though obliging
official, to care for its business in the
vicinity of the Green. This was an
positive breach of faith with the public.
The Express Company cannot expect to
transact its holiday business with only a
slight additional working force and an
extra wagon or so. There is not
merchant or manufacturer in the coun-
try who does not. when anticipating q
number of crush orders. prepare for the
prompt handling of the same.
Again, Illustrating its parsimonious
management, should would-be patron
desire to give directions over the tele-
phone from the express Office, or should
number be asked for, in either instance
the call being directly concerned with
the company's business, a refusal is
made, unless the customer agrees to pay
the toll charged, it being s'pay station"
When it is borne in mind that the
charges for transportation by the Express
Company are extortionate, unless prob
ably recollecting costly and unpleasant
experience shipper makes con-
tract, the assurance of this corporation
in asking for extraordinary privileges is
an exhibition of nerve" not often wit
messed. There is not the shadow of an
excuse for the complaint that goods can
not be delivered within the working days
of the week, even during the holiday
season.
If the management of the Express
Company will simply hire force
adequate to do its ordinary and special
business in Morristown, and establish an
express Office in the business portion of
the community, as is done in all towns of
this size. there would be no reason for
Sunday delivery. As it is. the desecra-
ton of the Sabbath should not be per-
mitted, as the only excuse that can be
made arises from a niggardly manage
ment on the part of grasping corpora
zion,

COLUMN.


To the Editor of the CHRONICLE
In some cities of the United States
with population of 10000 and upward,
the streets and sidewalks to fence
line are under control Of the street
commissioner. Where snow is not re-
moved within "a hours under direc-
ton of owner of property. it is removed
by the authorities and expense made a
charge upon the property. Sidewalks
are kept in repair If neglected by owner,
under same conditions, curbs kept clean
and grass trim, and last, but not least,
streets are sprinkled by the city and the
expense added to tax budget.
1t is manifestly unfair to the major
portion of the community that tenant
less or unimproved property in the
main avenues should not be cared for
in winter, and the imposition of fine
does not remedy the condition of
dangerous sidewalk. In dry weather
the efforts Of number may be neutral
lied by the apathy of one who does not
care to pay for sprinkling.
Possibly the CHRONICLE and Improve
ment Society may bring about an i'm
proved condition in Morristown.

ESTUARY.
ALEXANDER B. KAY.


Alexander B. Kay, whose sudden death
occurred on Friday evening last, was a
citizen and business man held in high
esteem by all who knew him. He had at
tended to business during the day on Fri
day, and early in the evening did not
speak of any feeling of illness. but at
about half past he expired. Death was
due to gastric trouble, which resulted in
heart failure.
The deceased was 48 years old and
leaves a widow and two children.
He was a member of the firm of Kay
Brothers, in Park Place. He had for
many years been member of Gin
cinnati Lodge, F. and A. M.
Born in Whippany, Mr.. Kay came
to Morristown at the age Of IA and
attended school in the latter place for
several years. He learned the plumbers
trade with Ichabod Soaring, in Norris
town, and for number of years had the
same employer. The deceased was son
of John g. Kay, who was a papermaker
in Scotland and in the later years of his
life conducted mills at Whippany.
The funeral services were held on Tues
day afternoon at o'clock, from Mr..
Rays late home, % Phoenix avenue.
Rev. DR.. Erdman conducted the services.
Interment was made at Evergreen Gene
terry.
Four brothers of the deceased officiated
as bearers, as follows: Allan p, William
j., Charles D. and James,

mental equality, but denied their busi-
ness ability. 1t was an outbreak which
called forth the inquiry whether or not
Mr.. Duer was married or single. and he
replied: 81 am single, of course. Do
you know of any married man who
would have the nerve to talk like THAR
No one seemed to know of such man.
Perhaps it was because a married man
would have better Judgment; not quite
as much nerve" but more sense.
