The first Christian Endeavor Society
organized in the State was formed at
Chester in the church where the coming
Morris County Convention will be held.
This was in 1882, and the nucleus of the
society was a Sunday school class of
seven young ladies, the teacher of which
was Miss Lou Burd, who now resides in
Morristown.
For about year the little society met
at the the home of Miss Burd, and then,
owing to increases of membership, meet
ings were held in the pastors study and
later in the chapel. This society con-
tinues to meet in the chapel. Rev Frank
johnson, who was pastor of the Chester
Presbyterian Church when the first G.
E. Society was organized, will attend the

FATAL BICYCLE ACCIDENT.
Daniel v. McCOIIum Found Dead Beside
His Wheel.

AAAc w AGcAs
A sad accident occurred yesterday
morning on the road betweed Mt. Free
dom and Brookside when Daniel v.
McCollum was thrown from his wheel
and killed Mr.. Nc Collum left his
home on Atno avenue for Mt. Freedom
and was found near the house of Jackson
Norris, where he was to have taken din
ner. He was found at about o'clock
in the afternoon by Miss Crane who
was driving. She reported the discov-
cry, and men responding found that the
unfortunate rider was dead. His wheel
was lying nearby and although the
chain was broken it is believed that this
was caused by the accident.
Mr.. Nc Collum had learned to ride
only few days ago and the supposition
is that he lost control OF the wheel while
going down the hill, at the foot of which
the accident occurred. His head was
badly bruised but death is not thought
to have been instantaneous. The road
is an unfrequented one, which accounts
for the delay in finding the body, when
the accident probably occurred several
hours before.
Coroner Wilkinson went to reveiw
the body and at II o'clock last night
Undertaken Struble brought the remains
to Morristown. The funeral will occur
on Monday at 1.30 P. NJ. Burial will
be at Springfield.
The deceased was for several years
engaged in the shoe business here. Later
he was floor walker for large Newark
concern. He moved to Atno avenue
from Dover about month ago, and was
engaged in the insurance business. He
leaves widow.

Mason,s strike 8 sam on

The strike of local masons is still on
and is apparently no nearer solution
than at this time last week when the
men demanded an eight hour day. Dur
ing the present week none of the men
have returned to work and neither con-
tractors or strikers have made any over
lures looking to a settlement. A local
contractor brought out a number of non
union men from New York yesterday
and is continuing work on his contracts.
Each days idleness represents a loss to
the strikers of about $500.

A novel election was held in Madison
on Tuesday and Wednesday when the
citizens of that borough over eighteen
years of age voted for and against the
free delivery of the mails. The senti-
ment of the community was overwhelm-
ingly for "free delivery there being 500
votes for and 1874 in opposition to the
plan. Postmaster Larison informed a
CHRONICLE representative that post
office inspector would be in Madison next
week to look over the ground and report
to the department. He is of the opinion
that at least five carriers will be required
as the territory to be covered is almost
as large as that in Morristown.

Many Flags Afioat In Honor of Anniver-
sary of Manila Victory.
Monday was Dewey Day and flags
were foated from many local business
houses as we'll as from private residences.
Just one year ago that day, George
Dewey, then Commodore of the United
States Navy, entered Manila Bay and in
a single battle destroyed the sea power
of Spain in the far East. The first an
niversary of that victory was celebrated
throughout the country and the Legis-
latures of many States have made the
day a legal holiday.
In Morristown there was no general
demonstration beyond the display Of flags
and bunting. No special exercises were
held in the Public Schools, but in the
morning teachers made reference to the
day and that patriotic air, 1.-The Star
Spangled Banner" was sung in concert
by the scholars.

that many papers left the local office.
