BOONTON WATER PLANT SOLD.
Bought in by John r.. Hardin Of Newark
for the ,ockholders

Senator McCarter, who was appoints
ed by Judge Fitzpatrick, of the United
States Court, as a special master last
Saturday morning, sold the plant Of
the Boonton Water Company at public
sale in the Court House. Through
Lawyer John r. Hardin. Of Newark,
the plant was bought by the stock
holders for $S4, 650 He at once de-
posted S., 465, ten per cent of the
purchase price, to bind the sale The
balance will be paid as soon as the
sale is confirmed.
Mr.. Hardin said the company was a
private concern and the present action
was taken solely for the purpose of re-
organization. The property is said to
be worth about 800. 600.
Lewis Van Duyne was president of
the company, which was organized
about six years ago and obtained the
contract to supply Boonton with
water In June, 1894, the company
issued seventy-five 81, 600 gold bonds,
which were to run for twenty years
and bear per cent. interest. The
Farmers Loan and Trust Company,
of New York was made the trustee and
given mortgage upon the entire
plant to secure the bondholders. In
the latter part of 1898 the company
defaulted in its interest payments on
the bonds and the Loan and Trust
Company foreclosed its mortgage.
The action was taken in the United
States Circuit Court, the claim being
for about $S1, 900 with costs and ex-
penses. On April last, Thomas J.
Hillary, who had up to that time been
the superintendent of the water works
was appointed receiver for the con-
Germ by Judge Kirkpatrick, and has
since been in charge of its affairs. On
December IS last, Judge kirkpatrick
made an order for the sale of the
property and appointed Senator Nc
Carter to conduct the sale,

DESIGNS FOR PAPER MONEY.

The 81 certificates soon to be issued
by Uncle Sam will bear spread eagle
in the middle, whether they are silver
or gold certificates or Treasury notes.
The difference is in the seal and
numbering, the silver certificates
bearing them printed in blue, while
the gold certificates will doubtless
have the number and seal in yellow,
while that of the Treasury note may
be red.
The 50 bills will all have the por-
trait of Washington in the centre,
while the So notes will have an Indian.
This idea is considered of great value
by the secret service men, as foreigners
and the illiterate of our own country
will much more easily distinguish the
pictures denoting the denomination
than where there is confusion in the
appearance of bills.

"HORSE TALK. :

John Pellet, a farmer, of Vernon.
Sussex County, hired Frank Estell to
work for him last week. He worked
two days. The first day he gained Mr..
Pellets confidence, and the next day
he stole one of his young horses The
horse was one of a team that had al
ways been together, and taking the
one left, Pellet started in pursuit of
the thief, and it was the intuition of
the horse that located its mate. The
pursuing party had crossed the York
State line and were coming into the
little village of Eatontown. Near the
village farm barn adjoined the high
way. As they were passing the barn
the low Whitney of a horse from the
stable was heard which was answered
by louder Whitney from tie horse
Pellet was driving, and which turned
short off for the barn. There could
be no mistaking the horse talk which
was kept up. The barn was securely
locked, but Pellet. going to the house,
demanded to see the horse in the barn.
Tho farmer denied possession at first,
but finally admitted having bought a
splendid young horse little while be-
fore of a stranger. The horse proved
to be his, and the joy of the two horses
when they came together was almost
human in its significance. The thief
was located later and lodged in Jail.

GENERAL MANAGER RUSSELL
TO GO ABROAD.

1t has been officially announced that
General Man ager Russell of the
Lackawanna has been granted an
extended leave of absence owing to
impaired health, which we trust may
be fully restored by an extended trip
to Europe as contemplated.
Relative to Mr.. Russell's manage
ment of the Lackawanna Road so far
as it relates to at least 80 per cent. of
the travellers on the Morris q Essex
Division, not to mention hundreds of
employees, it is to be hoped that he will
never again be engaged in an official
capacity on the road.
President Truesdale, Superintendent
DuPuy and the other officials CON
nected with the new management are
we'll liked by the public and have the
hearty support and good will of the
employees.
Unfortunately Mr.. Russel's record
is one of numerous broken promises
to the public and unjust treatment of
many trainmen, have not been
conducive to the promotion of conf
dence on the part of either the public
or employees,
