SUMMIT CAPITAL TOO.

The plant of the Lakewood Water
Company, including it's sewerage sys-
tenn and the Lakewood Electric Light
Company has been purchased by new
company which is to be known as the
Lakewood Water, Light and Power
Company. The resources of the COM
pany include the waters of Lake Ca
rasalys and Lake Manetta at Lake
wood, which furnish the power used
in pumping the water and generating
the electric current.
The new company is capitalized at
$3.50, 900, of which $780, 600 has been
paid up. Radical improvements are
being planned by the new company in
the existing property and the develop
ment of an underground supply of
water to replace the existing supply
which is now taken from the lakes
and filtered.
The old company has several valu-
able franchises and is one of the few
concerns in the State that supplies
water through its water company and
takes it away by its sewerage system.
The company was started by Kimball
and Davis, the original promoters of
the Laurel House.
The officers of the new concern are
President, Frederick R. Drake, of
Easton, Pa. secretary and treasurer,
Carroll Phi. Bassett, of Summit ;direc-
tors, F. P. Kimball, Charles H.

A sensational episode occurred at the
recent session of the Methodist Epis-
copal Conference at Grace Church,
Newport, KY The Rev. D. B. Holt,
of Dayton, KY, said that it had
come to his personal knowledge that
certain ministers in the conference
were violating one of their sacred
vows. One of the requirements of
candidates for orders is that they
must not use tobacco in any form
He said this was being openly ignored.
The Rev. DR.. Thomas Hanford of
the Main Street Methodist Episcopal
Church, Covington, said that he
knew twenty or thirty members of
the conference present whom he could
name who used tobacco. This is
about two thirds of the membership
of the conference
1t does seem as if ministers of the
gospel of all sects might refrain from
indulging the unhealthy habit if for
no other reason than the example they
set.

From the western verge Of an ele-
waited plateau midway between Madi-
son and Morristown, a wooded pro-
montory juts into the romantic valley
of the Loantaka, and upon this sight
ly eminence is set the mansion which
has for decade of years held our
authors Lares and Penates. The APP
proach is by broad avenue, shaded
by tall elms and shapely naples,
whence driveway curves across a
lawn and among trees and shrubbery
to the entrance door.
| The house is an ample and imposing
structure of wood of irregular design,
with a fine portico in front and bal
comics beneath it's arched windows /;
from one portion Of the roof rises
among the tree tops a multi stored
square tower-erected for an observa-
tory by former owner, Professor
Kitchell of the State Geological Sur
vey-which gave to the mansion the
name of "The Tower House., - by
which it was locally known for forty
years. This appellation has been SUI
perseded by "The Holt" Gold Saxon
name for wooded hill), the name APP
propriatly bestowed by Mr. Stockton.
Within, high-ceiled rooms of generous
size flank upon either side central
hall, parlors to the left, a dining
room on the right-apartments all
tastefully fitted and furnished, and
with curios and articles of virtue
artistically arranged and with fine
pictures and engravings upon the
walls.
To the northwest corner of the
mansion has been added the study, in
which the creator of Sarah Block,
Mrs. Lecks, Mrs. Alsehine, and the
procession of inimitable Stocktonian
characters dictates the stories which
delight the work of readers It is here
that we are received by the master
of the place, whose greeting is as
SIMPLE as it is genial and re-assuring.
We see a quiet mild-mannered man,
slight of figure, vibrant of voice,
strong yet mobile of face, with hair
and mustache of iron grey, and with
large dark, luminous eyes that be-
hold everything about them-respon-
sive eyes that dance with merriment
or deepen with feeling.

Washington, Sept. 22.-While the navy
department has disposed to it's own sat
isfaction of the idea that the arrival of
Rear Admiral Howison at New York in
the flagship Chicago, coincident with or
prior to the arrival of Admiral Dewey,
will cause considerable embarrassment
on account of the seniority of Admiral
Howison over Rear Admiral Sampson,
who has been designated to command the
welcoming feet, much interest was shown
there over the fact that Admiral Howl
son has started from Barbados for New
York. The only possible interruption of
the programme arranged that could come
from the presence of Admiral Howison
would be his assertion of his right of
seniority over Sampson. This he will not
do il is said

Major General Sewell, commanding
the National Guard of New Jersey,
at conference with Brigadier- Gener-
al Wanser, decided to call out the fol
lowing militia organizations to par
ticipate in the Dewey parade: First
Regiment of Newark, Fourth Regi-
ment of Jersey City, Essex Troop,
Battery A, of Orange, and the entire
Naval Reserve.
The total will be 1890 men. Gen
eral Wanser will make all the neces-
sary arrangements. Floats and barges
will be used to transport the militia
and artillery from Jersey City to New
York.

Of counsel of course! who could
produce harmony from discord in the
Democratic party? And the plan for
re- organization must never be COM
mitted to cold print, otherwise there
would be nothing to organize.
AS to the money question the Dem
ocrats of New Jersey find straddling
so uncomfortable that they are likely
to say anything that would call at
tention to their precarious condition.
But "sone rules that ought to pre-
vail' in every county can easily be
drawn up.
We are afraid however that though
they fought to prevail" the Demo
cratic State Committee will find it
very hard work to "make them pre-
val" To bring that about they will
have to fool the better section of their
party, and we brady think that Bob
Davis will fool men like Paul Revere,
Judge Cutler, Patrick Farrelly, Ed
gar f. Randolph, or Robert D. Foote

A HOUSE TO HOUSE CANVASS.

The Banners statement that there
will be no house to house canvass this
year, is erroneous. The District
Boards of Registry and Election will
meet as usual on the 10th of October,
for organization. The canvass will be
made and finished by the 18th. The
boards will meet on Oct. 18th for the
additional registration of voters, who
may have been omitted in the canvass.
The Boards will also meet on the 31st
of October to revise and correct the
registers. Every voter should read
the notice regarding Registry and
Election which appears elsewhere in
the Chronicle.

SHOULD RENOMINATE SENATOR
CROSS.

Senator Cross, of Union County, is
not in the common acceptance Of the
word a politician. He is, however, a
brainy, clear headed Republican, who
has been one Of the ablest senatorial
representatives Union County ever
had. If, by any means the primaries
in that county should be manipu-
lated in favor of some of the profess
sional politicians who are mentioned
at present, there will be more work
for the lobbyists. They may perchance
have Democratic senator to work
with. Senator Cross was never friend
ly to the interests of the Third House
and the tricksters know it. The Union
County Republicans should bear in
mind that ability, sterling honesty,
and an unassailable record are far more
essential intheir candidate than simply
party pull at the primaries. Senator
Cross may not possess the latter but
he has the former attributes in a
marked degree.
The following from the Courier
News, Plainfeld, is doubtless fair
statement of the Republican senatorial
condition in Union.
"There seems to be a determined
effort in the county to shelve Senator
Gross and it should not succeed. The
men who pushed Cross in the conven-
tion last Fall should not desert him
now. Last year Elizabeth Republi-
cans pretended to believe he was the
only man in the county who could be
elected Senator. These men should
not abandon him now. Senator Cross
deserves denomination. -

DR.. Patton, president of Princeton
University, who has been there
months abroad, returned home on
Friday last. President Patton made
the return trip on the new mammoth
White Star Liner, Oceanic. He said
he had pleasant vacation in the
Highlands of Scotland and the North
of England. He expressed the fol.
lowing opinion of the Dreyfus case

man has been outrageously condemned
in the Dreyfus case. The verdict Of
the court at Rennes is in every par
ticular stain on justice. I sincerely
hope that justice will soon be metet
out to Drefyus. In my opinion, thai
means his pardon and exoneration. ,

Editor Chronicle :


Dear Sir The Morristown repre-
sentative of the Newark News, with
his usual disregard for facts, caused
to be published an article headed
Lawyer Defies Justice. 1.-THE fact of
the matter is that Angeman's lawyer,
Chas. Stilwell, Jr., gave his client
advice which was contrary to all law
or precedent, causing them to leave
the court before same was adjourned,
while the Justice was temporarily alb
sent in the next room securing pen
and ink to fill out either recognize
ance on issue commitments. The JUS
tice peremptorily forbade the prisoners
to leave the room before new bail was
given and called upon Constable Bah
bitt to prevent them from SO doing.
The constable being timid, under the
advice of Mr.. Stilwell, refused to
act and the consequence was that the
parties left the court, thereby forfeit
ing their bail A fact with which the
youngest law student is familiar, is
the form of the recognizance which.
among other things provides that the
bail is forfeited if the accused depart
from the court without leave. The
justice has been sustained in his posi-
ton by prominent jurists, who are
familiar with the facts. The parties
will be Immediately re-arrested.

John Wesley Cornell has been nomi-
mated by the Republicans of Mercer
County for fourth term as surro-
gate. The convention was held on
Saturday and Mr.. Cornell received
the vote of every delegate. The can
didate and present surrogate of Mer-
Ger is not politician in any sense,
and the people of the county recog-
uize his many sterling qualities. The
election is only question of how
great the Republican candidate S
majority will be.

The minute book of Independent
Hose Company does not show any
particular reasons for the appointment
of a chaplain; whether the appoint
ment has been made necessary by the
new chemical engine, or the new
horses, or by the recent improvements
in the hose house we cannot tell
But some of the members who have
recently joined the hose company are
given to innovations, trolleys and
such like, so that the desire for a
chaplain is easily explained.

The Chronicle heartily indorses the
following remarks from the Jersey
City Journal regarding the candidacy
of Frank L. Swayze, of Newark, for
the Essex County surrogacy:
The reported candidacy of Councillor
Frank L. Swayze for surrogate is a
reminder that the Essex Republicans
are thinking of recognizing in a
practical way the services of a young
man who has been at the command OF
the party for several years, ever since
he attained his majority in fact. In
the Mckinley and in the Voorhees,
campaigns Mr.. Swayze was one of the
most willing and effective workers.
The Republican StateC Committee found
in him tireless speaker, ready to go
anywhere from one end of the State to
the other, and that where he had been
once he was wanted again. He is a
rising man in the party, and whether
he is made Surrogate or not, he will
be wanted in the higher party places
in time to come.

For a stanch and orthodox Demo-
cratic newspaper to decline to fall in
with the non-American spirit of many
of its brother organs is something de-
cidly reassuring in these days. The
Atlanta Constitution asks: "Who
would be so craven as to give the
poltroon advice that our men should
retire under fire, bush whacked in the
rear by enemies, either abroad or at
home? No question of politics, no
trimming of sails, no debating de-
tails but Godspeed and triumph for
the men on the firing line-that is the
policy, the spirit, the grit which pa
triotism calls for! !" And it adds, to
still further clinch it's position, that
sit is an American newspaper, with
no bullets to fire into the backs of the
men who are awaiting Aguinaldos

Newark News to exclaim "Bravo!
