Tohn P.'s Constitutional Gag"

He came from Mine Hill, did John P.
Gaynor. 1t was one day last week and
he made Dover his first stop. He began
at once to fill himself TO completion on a
special installment of friskySussex coun-
ty applejack and short time later
imagined he saw torchlight professions
about ten deep and limitless in extent.
Then he discovered pile of sand along
one of the principal streets of that town
and commenced to disrobe Officer Nc
Davitt arrested the man and he was ar
raigned before Police Justice Brown,
who allow the man to go.
one hour later Gaynor was again ar
rested and taken before the justice.
'You were here an hour ago, :, said the
magistrate. 81 let you go then; now
I'll fine you $5."
"You can't do that said Gaynor,
its unconstitutional
"Why?'
This is the same jag; continuous
performance. The constitution says a
man can't be placed in jeopardy twice
for the same offense."
"The point is well taken said the
magistrate; you are discharged"

VIII Case Continued.

The contest over the will of Mrs. Ed
wilma Whelpley Smith has consumed
several days in the Morris County Or
phans' Court this week. On Monday DIR.
Peter V. P. Hewlett of Newark, Miss
Elizabeth B. Lounsbury, AMI Dodd,
ex-Vice Chancellor, and Mrs. Ellen
Leighnard, nurse, from Newark, were
tine witnesses called. The burden of the
testimony was that Mrs. Smith, ON ac-
count of her mental and physical condi-
ton, was not capable of making will.
Her chief delusions seemed to be that
her relatives were plotting to poison her
or in some way take her life.
On Wednesday Henry g. Pitney, Jr.
presented petition to the Court from
John E. Taylor, president of the Memo
rial Hospital Association, asking that it
be recorded 1t stated that by a will
made by Mrs Smith July 5, 1895, now
on file in the Morris County Surrogate's
office, the hospital was to get $4,000, and
by a subsequent will $4,000 was be
queathed to the institution. AT the af-
ternoon session Thomas Alexander, an
expressman, and Mrs. Johanna Ryan,
employed by Mrs. Smith at one time,
were examined.
A further hearing will be held.

Lackawanna station in Denville, which
was identified as Frederick Blanchard,
23 years old, son of Mr.. and Mrs.

employed as track walker the suppo-
sltion is that he wac struck by train,
not being able to hear the sounds OF
warning.
Coroner Samuel Leonard visited the
scene of the accident and empanelled q
jury, but as DIR. F. w. Flagge of Rock
away failed to appear late in the day

INTERESTING CHESS CONTEST.
Champion PlIlsbury Meets Norris
town Crack Players.

Sitting up all night playing chess is
not conducive to good health, but when
one is contesting game with the cham
pion Of the world and is finally victorious
the loss of one nights sleep is as nothing
compared to the honor.
The spacious rooms of the Morristown
Club House was the scene of spirited
encounter last Wednesday evening, be-
tween Champion Pillsbury and Prose-
cutor Alfred Elmer Mills, who, while he
does not aspire to the championship,
plays an excellent game of chess. Pre-
vious to the match MI. Pillsbury easily
defeated Senator Mahlon Pitney, Robert
q. Walsh, Rev. DR.. William M. Hughes.
Howard Coghill, James Hind, Herman
Behr, Francis Hoyt, Edgar F. Randolph,
all of Morristown, and Mr.. Sands and
Mr.. Gibson, of New York.
Dnring the progress of the games Mr..
Pillsbury sat with his back to his oppon
ents and played whist with E. P. Frank
ILL do q pdIOhOl dSdihoV OOhh "A. IMAM
bers and DR.. P. G. Barker, the former
pair winning easily. At the same time
he cautioned the different men playing
chess against him as they called their
moves and warned them against making
mistakes.
When seen by Chronicle representa-
- RI ~ 1 Il L..
Mills said that he was trifle out of
form, not having played chess in some
time. He added that he was extremely
fortunate to win the match and but for
a mistake on the part of Mr.. Pillsbury
during the early part of the game he
could not possibly have won.
The hospitality of the club was greatly
enjoyed by the guests present.

RIVALS THE sun.
New and SAFE IIIuminant in Acety-
iene Gas.


iene Gas.
The discovery of Acetylene Gas says
the Western Trade journal has revolu-
tionized the matter of illumination as it
furnishes brighter light than either gas
or electricity, replacing both standard
systems and giving universal satisfaction.
The light produced from Acetylene
Gas is a bright, clean, white light, its
rays being nearer those of the solar sys-
tenn than any light known. One pound
OF carbide will produce nearly five cubic
feet of gas, which will burn one twenty
five candle power jet for ten hours, Civ
ing better and clearer light than other
twenty-fv candle power light in exis-
tance. 1t can be placed in any house,
store or office at small cost, and when
once there the cost of running it will be
less than electricity or coal gas, and a
great many have certified that the light
costs them less than kerosene oil, and at
the same time giving them much more
brilliantly lighted store.
Acetylene Gas can be applied wherever
it is possible to conduct any gas, and the
fixtures employed are practically the
same as ordinary gas fixtures, both in
construction and operation. This gas is
operated exactly as is ordinary gas, simp-
ly requiring the turning of thumb
screw in raising or lowering the flame,
or extinguishing it at will. One of the
best, if not the best, for generating this
gas, is the Submarine" Acetylene Gas
Generator, manufactured by The Sun
light Gas Machine Company, 206 Green
wich street, New York city.
1t has the approval of the Board of
Underwriters, and in all is less bother to
handle than one kerosence lamp.
The Sunlight Gas Machine Company
are manufacturers of the Submarine"
Generators from ten-light capacity up,
and for all purposes. By this process the
gas is made entirely under water.
The company is under most enter
prising and efficient management, and
are constantly extending their opera
tions.
This company beginning on Monday
will begin canvassing Morris county,
making a start in Morristown. Their
representative has practical knowledge
of Acetylene Gas, the installation of
plants for town, hotel and private use.
His address for the present will be at the
company's Office, No. 206 Greenwich
street, New York.

The Chronicle was advised yesterday
that owing to the recent severe storms
the elaborate exercises arranged for the
opening day May 1st, will be combined
with those of Dedication Day, May goth,
making this one of the most interesting
days OF the Exposition.

with wrongly-directed letters. and now
that the postal inspector has announced

taken either on an eastern or western
trip until the return can be regularly
affected. the easiest solution seems the
joining of the offices.

swered by the statement that "The
Weekly Trips Company was in the
hands of capable and responsible mana
gers and good satisfaction would surely
be given to all who have dealings with
them"
