Feat of a saeacIous Doc.

The intelligence of the brute crea-
tion was strikingly illustrated here
yesterday when bull dog owned by
Herman Netheim gave chase to its
masters runaway horse, grabbed a
line near the bit and did not release
it's hold until man arrived and led
the horse away.
This extraordinary occurrence was
the result of Netheim' S horse, "Sensa-
tion, becoming frightened at passing
train of cars at the Lackawanna sta
tion. Netheim was unable to control
the animal and it dashed into gro
Gerry wagon, entirely demolishing his
carriage and throwing him heavily to
the ground. The dog was seated
alongside of it's master and as the
horse freed itself, ran and chased
after it. Netheim was badly injured
about the head and body and is con-
fined to his room.

Auto Riders Beaten by cycIlst.


The case of James Lenox, of Eliz-
abeth, against the Riker Motor Vehicle
Company, which, on appeal, was carried
to the Supreme Court, was decided on
last week in favor of Lenox.
The case in question was the result of
collision between Lenox on a bicycle
and one of the Riker automobiles last
July. AS result OF the accident, Lenox
was confined to his home for some time.
Lenox brought suit in the district
court, where he lost the case on the
ground that he attempted to pass by the
auto at too close distance in going by
it within three feet
On advice Of counsel Lenox appealed
from the district to the circuit court,
and when the case was tried in the lat
ter court in January last he got ver-
dict OF $235
This verdict caused the Riker Vehicle
Co. TO appeal to the Supreme court. 1t
is the first case on the rights of automo
biles to go up, and the court holds them
to the same responsibilities as ordinary
vehicles

A. A.
The tobasco was furnished by Faulk-
ner. He did not hear the howls and
words of admiration floating around,
nor did he pay any attention to the
cries of Good boy, Faulkner" He
simply stood and sawed baseball wood
and won his game hands down. The
Newton's couldn't touch him with
bats two yards long. This accounts
for the loss of the game, for no club
on earth can win without base hits.
No club on earth can go to the plate
and cut the ambient air into fancy
grill work and win games. The Wis
itors only tallies were scored by er-
rors. In the first inning Faulkner
threw the ball to first to catch base
runner mapping, and the ball jour
neyed so far into the field that the
Newtonian made the circuit, and in
the last inning two errors by the Med
icos second baseman allowed another
runner to cross the plate.
A tall lanky fellow named Uhle,
who appeared to interfere with him
self, pitched for the visitors. He
needs toeweights and it is necessary
for him to wear leather pad on his

This is not meant for reflection on
the length of Uhle's ear, but rather
upon his Killaloo style of tossing the

again and lets the ball go whittier it

TOWN TO BE
SEVERED
Special Committee Report Two
Plans Feasible.

Board of Aldermen Deter
mined That Perfect Sani-
tary Conditions Must Pre-.
vai1-A Long step Forward
All the members of the Board of AL
dermen were present last night when
Mayor Fox called the special meeting
to order for the purpose of hearing the
report of the special committee on sew
erage, which we publish as follows:
MoRRIsTowN, N. j., June Goth, 1901.
To the Honorable the Mayor and Board of
Aldermen:-The Committee on Sewerage ap-
pointed by the Board of Aldermen in July
last and re,appointed by the present Board in
May of the present year for the purpose of
obtaining such information relating to the
disposal of the sewerage, of the town of Nor
ristOwn. as will enable this Board to act in
telligenlly in placing before the public the
system that shall be best suited to our present
and future wants, beg TO report that they
have employed Mr.. Alex. Potter of New York,
as an engineer, to make the necessary sur
veys, maps, reports and estimates of cost,
the substance of which is as follows
The sewerage of Morristown today is approx
imately 500 600 gallons each "a hours and at the
recent rate of increase the population of the
town will double in the next 25 years, so that
a provision for upwards of ,0OO,0O0 gallons per
day should be made
| The sewerage of the present % miles of
streets will cost about $l35, 600 and as this will
take the sewerage to the boarders of the town
only, we then meet the more difficult question
of how it shall be disposed of.
Two systems have been suggested: that first
that of disposal beds in connection with scep-
tic tanks, and in order to find suitable loca-
tion for such beds and tanks it will be neces-
sary to conduct the sewerage for distance of
about miles from town
The building of the necessary pipe line from
the town line to the beds. the purchase of suf-
ficient land and the construction of the beds,
tanks, etc, for the disposal of 600 gallons
daily will necessitate an outlay in the neghbor
hood of $ll2,000
Toe operating exI ensts for such plant will
be about $4,000 per annum, equal to the inter
est on an Investment of $l00. 600 so that capital
izing the cost of the annual maintenance this
system would show a total outlay equal to
about $2l2, 900 not including any cost for the
right of way.
The second plan is as follows. Certain

peculiarities. The Medicos lit upon
Uhle in the very first inning and
during the remainder of the game
made them look sick. Thereupon a
large crowd Of Newton men who
came to root for their favorites
roared,
The Medicos batted like fiends and
separated nine solid pIunks from the
ohaff. Other long hits were caught
by the visiting fielders, who chased
the leather until they looked like a
raw recruit after drill. McAndrews
made pretty triple and both Dono-
van and Gillen picked out one of
Uhle's boomerangs and sent it past
all sorts of grasshoppers and bugs
which reside in deep left field The
hit made by Donovan was particu-
larly long one and elected rounds of
applause

''Here we see the Ebest thought, endu-

not stopped in its mad fight until the
occupant of the wagon had been thrown
out and the vehicle demolished.

TWO TALES OF CUPID.
Trustworthy Chronicle of Love and
Marriage of Two Morristown Couples

Love is the trump care and always
will be till Gabriel's trump takes the
dnal suit. 1t might we'll be called the
little joker, for if anyone loves a practi-
cal joke 1t is the tiny god who stacks the
cards and plays high spy, tag and blind
mans buff with the human family.
Take the case of pretty Bertha Dut-
ton, for instance. She returned the
deep affection of Frederick Pierson and
wanted to marry him. Her parents,
however, advised her to wait, saying
she was too young. But Cupid leaped
over that obstacle to happiness with a
gladstone joy, for the young couple
boarded the train to Madison last Sun
day afternoon where the Rev. DIR. Fox,
pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church
of that place, tied the matrimonial knot
hard and fast. Not until last Tuesday
did the young wife reveal the secret, at
which time she received the parental
benediction.

city is contributing it's full quota. A
wedding with even more of romance
than is usually found nowadays was that
which occurred at Sparta Sunday.
1t was an ideal day for drive and
among the many who enjoyed the good
roads and beauteous sunshine were Norris
Howell and Miss Stella Linde, both we'll
known in the Methodist church, where
Howell is assistant sexton.
Whether their marriage was premedi-
tated or not, is not known. but Cupid S
darts played such sad havoc with their
hearts that on reaching Sparta they per-
suaded Rev. DIR. West to perform the
ceremony which made them man and
wife.
Returning to this city Monday they
were warmly welcomed by parents and
friends-and incidentally by the livery
man whose horse they had been driving
and received the customary parental
forgiveness and blessing.

and Mr.. Smith, an Atlanta attorney,

knocked down by Mr.. Smith and, upon
arising, used his knife upon his OPP
ponent, getting in one blow. FOrtu-
nately, however, the wound is not
serious one. Friends of the gentlemen
quickly interviewed at this stage Of the

are the tiniest elephants in all the

ers. In addition to their superb in
telIigence they are endowed with the
best of nature and enjoy the associa-

IS TIED TO PRICE,

Decline.
DROPS ANOTHER DOZEN POINTS.
Enormous Port Receipts For Week
Ending Yesterday. January Cot
ton Breaks BelO thew Lowest Point
Of the Season.

When the cotton market opened yes.
terday firm in tone and at an advance
over prices of the day before, Ameri-
Gus buyers and sellers hoped the turn
ing point had finally been reached and
that the reaction in prices. so long ex-
pected, was now at hand.
January, the speculative month,
opened at 7.51 and the tone was firm.
An hour later it dropped to 7.37.
! Estimated receipts were large, while
the total port receipts for the week,
ending yesterday, were simply enor-
NOUS, going away over receipts for
this week year ago.
It was 408, 500 this week, and 297, 500
for the week last season.
The market turned turtle early in
the day and dropped by degrees until
January touched 1877. It closed only
three points higher. This is q decline
OF SO points from the top level reached
two or three weeks ago when this po-
sition scared as high as s 20.
Americus cotton men do not take 9
cheerful view of the situation. If the
warm weather continues on, permit
ting cotton in the field to mature, the
market will go lower still.
There has been no great demand
here for cotton this week and in con-
sequence the warehouses still hold the
greater portion of the weeks receipts
With steady drop in prices staring
them in the face, the buyers were MOI
disposed to take hold.
The warehouses here received 452
