INJURED IN RUNAWAY.

Shortly after seven o'clock on Tues
day morning a remarkable series of
runaways occurred, which resulted
in injury to two drivers, James
Murphy, employed by the Morristown
school, and John Yawger, of Western
avenue, who delivers papers for AL
bert Bowman A thick fog, the clat-
ter of the horses hoofs and the shouts
of men created panic among pedes-
trians and drivers on South and Wash
ington streets and vicinity. Yawger,
who had just left paper at DeHart
street residence, stepped ON his wa
gon. His footing was insecure, and
the horse starting with jump caused
him to be thrown to the road. He
retained his grip on the reins and was
dragged about half block when he
was Obliged to release his hold. The
horse, being relieved of the strain on
terrific speed Yawger received
severe cut on the chin and was badly
shaken up and bruised. One of
Hibler's horses, attached to delivery
wagon, was standing in front of the
market, and it followed in the
wake of he B Bowman horse. Nearing
the approaching runaways, Murphy,
with the school wagonette, was near
Smiths drug store. He turned down
Park place toward Morris street to
avoid collision. He made the turn
too snort and was thrown out. His
knee was injured. The two runa-
ways, Bowman s and Hibler's, con-
tinued their mad pace across Park

On Saturday, Oct. 18th, the Morris
town School played Trinity School,
of New York city. The New York
boys greatly outweighed their oppon-
ents, and Morristown's line was hard
pressed. The first half ended without
either side scoring. In the second
half Trinity, by successive short
gains, pushed Morristown over for a
touchdown, but failed at goal.
Morristown secured the ball on downs,

SCHOOL NEWS.
What is Going On and Being Done
by Teachers and Pupils.

County Superintendent of Schools
William B. Matthews was in town on
Tuesday and was seen by Chronicle
representative. He reported that the
school work for the year was now
under good headway, and that the
schools generally throughout the
county are in a flourishing condition.
Superintendent Matthews reported
that a uniform course of study for all
schools throughout the county had
been inaugurated, excepting in the
larger towns like Morristown, where
there is high school course. The
establishment of this county course is
required by the State school slaws.
and has been put in operation in
this county for the first time. This
course of study requires eight years
of work, and pupils who graduate
from it will receive grammar school
diploma, which will admit them to
any high school in the county without
further examination; it will also
have some recognition at the State
Normal School.

What Salmon Said;
Mr.. Salmon, in opening, said the
issues were extremely important and
in no wise trivial He spoke of the
liberty loving qualities Of the Ameri-
can citizen, and.of fthe struggles Of
our forefathers to obtain that liberty.
They gained their independence and
drew up constitution the like of
which never before existed IN the his
tory of the world. The main features
of this. constitution were the negatives
it contained. We may not do this,
that or the other thing. The mega
tives are the important bulwark of our
liberty. He called attention to the
difference existing between the Eng
lish and American constitutions. By
the former, Parliament, in making
laws, was governed only by its con-
science, while we confine Congress to
the limitations of the Constitution
These restrictions have always been
stumbling block to the imperialistic
element in our body polite, and this
element exists in force today. The
speaker said he believed in equal rights
to all and special privileges to none
We have departed from this. The
Republican party favors special
privileges by taxing the many for the
support of the few. The Democratic
party claims equal rights
Our tariff laws are uneven. The
method provided by the constitution
in establishing a tariff is the only
correct one. The present tariff gives
large fortunes to the few by taxing
the many. It's main purpose is to in
crease the wealth of those already
rich by robbing the poor. Our in
ternal revenues are all wrong, and are
framed to relieve wealth OF taxation
and to ppress the poor
Other deplorable conditions exist.
Trusts and monopolies prey upon the
people. There are and can be no good
trusts. They are all bad and enemies
Of equal rights, and special privileges
are given to those engaged in them.

What Herr Said:

What Herr Said:
Judge Herr made his appearance
on the stage and was greeted with
loud and prolonged applause. He
stated his subject to be How Should
a Gold Democrat Voter" He opened
by saying that just previous to Nc
Kiniey's election 2, 500, 600 men were
out of employment. The Democratic
tinkering with the tariff, the selling
of bonds to preserve national credit,
and the distrust caused by free silver
agitators, were the main causes of
this distress. The Republican party
promised remedy for this, believing
that the whole fabric of business de-
pended on protective tariff, and
sound currency, and subsequent
events have shown that the views of
the Gold Democrats were right on the
financial question. This remedy re-
lieved the distress.
Now gold Democrat is one who,

pally because he did not believe in
the free coinage of silver at the ratio
of is to /; second, he did not believe
in the revolutionary tendency of the
Chicago platform that would deprive
the courts of the right to issue injunc-
tions in certain cases. That platform
having been affirmed in 1900, the same
objections still exist. These questions
are left as they were. A single gold
standard and protective tariff have
given us unparalleled prosperity,
proving the wisdom of the Gold
Democrats stand. A change now to
free silver would mean ruin.
Values would be unsettled, and
many contracts and loans that were
made under the gold standard would
be cut down to half their value IL paid
in fifty cent dollars. It is easy to be
seen that a change Of this kind would
bring about business chaos and benefit
none except the silver mine owners.

Jaw -Morrlstown School Team
Plays Fine Game, Winning Four
Out of Five.

A disgaceful exhibition of brutality
occurred at the Athletic grounds,
Madison, last Saturday afternoon.
which is greatly deplored by Madison
citizens generally. The Edison Foot
Ball Club, of Orange, came to Madison
ostensibly to play game of foot ball,
but appearances show that they are
nothing but an aggregation of slug
gers.
The game started out with wran-
gle, followed by upper Gu tting and
hair pulling Matters came to climax
when Doyle, the right guard of
Orange, kicked Lum, Madison's left
guard, cutting a deep cash in his
cheek. The men clinched and were
reducing each Others oountenances
to jelly, when Harry Brant, SON of
Samuel Brant, one of the Madison
team, jumped in to separate the
combatants. Seeing him coming, the
Orange man broke away ana landed
a terrific right swing on the point of
Brant's jaw. BIant dropped like a bag
of meal out of miller's wagon.
Squire Parrot, another Madison
player, following close behind Brant.
struck the Orange player behind the
ear and knocked him out. The blow
was such hard one that Parrots arm
fell limp at his side and was practi-
cally paralyzed for several days. Brant
was picked up and carried home un-
conscious. Physicians found that his
jaw was broken in two places and
that all his teeth were loosened, and
recommended his removal to hospi-
tai. He was taken to Brooklyn
institution in the evening. Being
unable to chew or swallow, liquid
nourishment is forced in his stomach
by means of tube. Weeks Will elapse
before he will be about. Lum will be
scared for life. Doyle, the Orange
slugger, revived sufficiently to be
helped to the train. The game was
called and the money was returned to
the spectators.
Expressions of regret for the occur
renee are heard on all sides, and both
teams appear to have been in.fault.
And vet there are people who say
that foot ball is gentle game. 1t is
only rivalled in gentleness by the
Spanish bull-fight. A prize fight is
a mere pleasantly compared with
Saturdays exhibition.

ILLEGAL

The vote for president in 1886 was
marked by great frauds and rascal
ties. The usual rule Of governing 's
one vote to five of the population. But
one western state gave one vote to
two and a half of population, we think
it was. Others gave much cause for
suspicion in their very greatly in
creased vote. Between 1888 and 1892
the net gain was 4 per cent. Several
states were admitted into the union
and voted for the first time. The New
York Sun, republican, says:
"At the same rate of increase the to-
tai vote at the last presidential cleo
ton in 1896 should have been about
r. GAO, 900. Instead of this, Il was
more tina IA, 900, 900, a total vote
without precedent in the United
States, or in fact, in any country in
which universal suffrage exists
In fact, the increase IN votes was
nearly 1000, 900. There must ave been
enormous ballot stuffing and illegal
voting. You will see a great vote in
1900, and probably the Hanna methods
will be respected on a huger scale even
than those Of 1886. 1t is anything to
elect Mckinley.

The death Of Governor Goebel, OF
Kentucky. will be generally regretted
by all people free from satanic hatred.
His murder was a dreadful crime and
caves a lasting stain o he name
Of Kentucky. He had been an Agnos-
tic, but before he died asked that he
be not known as an opposer OF Chris
tianity, or words perhaps to that eff
feet. His successor is j. c w. Beck
ham, of whom we know nothing. The
state is in a condition of anarchy.
With two governors, and assassination
as a political instrument and factor,
and the lawless republicans. badly de-
feated as to the legislature, scheming
to have the defeated candidates meet
as a legislature, about assures the pub
lie of future trouble if not of a war
Of blood and revenge
If the hot heads will heed the last
political will and testament of the as
sassinated governor, Kentucky will be
saved from a war to the knife between
two political parties. He counselled his
political and personal trends Ito keep
COO and bow to the law in all Things.
and his friends begged the people of
Kentucky in this hour of affliction TO
carefully abstain from any act of viO-
lence or any resort to mob law Let
this be lone. But unfortunately his
enemies and the enemies of Kentucky
appear ito be bent On bloody mischief.
Well may the true Ke~ntuckians say
now: God save the state!"
