The Aldermen fleet.

A short session marked the regular
monthly meeting of the Board of Alder
men last Friday night with Mayor Fox
presiding.
Treasurer Vogt reported disburse-
ments amounting to $40, 9,940.73, leaving
an unexpended balance of 500, 1902
and the following committees ordered
these claims paid:
Michael Doren sent communication
to the Board complaining that he had
been unjustly taxed and had paid taxes
for the years 81, '9S and SO on a lot
that he did not own. He asked that
the amount he has paid be returned to
him. The matter was referred to the
Finance Committee for adjustment.
Alderman Hurtzig reported that Nor
ristown had made application through
its special Sewerage Committee to the
Joint Sewerage Commissioners to con-
meet with the trunk sewer to tide
water, but owing to the absence OF
Counsel Riker no official action has yet
been taken.
A protest was made by Alderman
Hurtzig against granting the contract tc
the Morris County Electric Light Co.,
for the same price the town is now pay
ing the company in the matter of arc
lights. The Alderman thought $12C
per year for each arc was outrageous
"In many cities twice as large as Nor
ristown' said Mr.. Hurtzig, 'arc lights
cost 800 per year and in several instan-
ces only $50. A new contract should
be made at once" The matter was
simply referred to the Street Lighting
Committee.
A note for S., 900 for three months
was ordered discounted, in anticipation
of the receipt of tax money, and 500
was transferred from miscellaneous tc
discount.

For the third time in as many years
the firm of L. Sternberg & Company,
of Newark, who conduct branch store
on Speedwell avenue, have been called
upon to ask the police authorities to
place under arrest their manager in this
city. The latest man who has appro-

use and muddled the books is Isader
Sonabin, of Newark
Two days ago the young man left
Morristown. Quite by accident one of
the members of the company, appeared
at the local store yesterday. He found
the store closed and at once began an
investigation. He learned of Sonabin s
departure and non-appearance and sent
to Newark for bookkeeper. Together
the two took account of the stock and
looked over the books, discovering a
shortage of 5000 and several suits of
clothing missing. The police were noti-
fed in Newark and Morristown and are
making an attempt to capture the man.

MONTCLAIR TEAM WINS.
They Scaped the Morrstown Field
Club Nine Last Saturday.


The artistic punching of errors in the
first four rounds, interspersed with
dinky pair of singles and home run,
thrust the last chase ball game to be
played by the Morristown Field CLUB IN
the Amateur League, upon the Mont
clair A. C. last Saturday.
1t was a splendid game to look at;
full of snap and go on the visitors part,
with both pitchers geared up to high
state of excellence. Brown has not
pitched here in many moons. The long
rest permitted much ginger to accumu-
late in that gentleman's system, and he
went at the job like a man returned
from vacation with money. But it
amounted to naught for as usual his
fellow players made numerous and
childish errors and supported him miser-
ably. In the first inning an overthrow
by Donnelly allowed run; in the
second inning both Donnelly.and Throck-
morton tossed the ball over the catcher's
head and two runners ambled home; in
the fourth inning six runs were scored
after two players had sbeen retired be-
cause Woodward muffed fly ball,
Little juggled the sphere and beauti-
full home run was batted over Howell's
head.
But there is no use kicking. The To-
Gals could not defeat the Montclair team
in century with the same PLAYERS, and
they don't bat against such a man as
Harrison every day, either. He simply
made the home team look like the
Seventh Regiment in a sham battle.
This is not slam.at the gallant Seventh.
The Field Club resembled them simply
because they sho. blank cartridges from
the first inning to the last and could
not hit anything. Harrison is big and
handsome. He rears up like hobby
horse concealing his intention with his
left clavicle and lets it go for all he is
worth. The batter of course, gets a
mixed impression of clavicle and ball
and the rear development of Harrison's
head. which at best resembles a pied
logarithm. If you don't know what a
pied logarithm is, hunt it up in the
dictionary. The thing is not worth an
explanation when this game is tn ques
ton.
Before laying aside the base ball pen
Gil for the season let us urge the Field
Club to organize a ball team next year
that will hold its own, and say that yes
terday Howell and Woodward banged
out home runs and Todd made beauti-
full catch in left field that elected much
applause. Scores

SUSPICIOUS FIRE.
Hotel With Unsavory Reputation
Burned.

Fire, of unknown origin, entirely des
troyed the club house and hotel at the
entrance to the Morristown Driv-
ing Park about two o'clock last Tues
day morning. The hostlery is own
ed by Sire Brothers, the New York
theatre managers who leased it to Bar
ney H. Demarest about two years ago.
Walter " Snyder, who has been asso-
ciated with Demarest during that time.
recently secured control of the hotel;
Demarest having removed to Connecti-
cut. The lost is estimated at $4,000,
partly covered by insurance.
Snyder, he says, discovered the blaze
in the sleeping apartments. He was
awakened by feeling of suffocation and
saw the flames coming through the floor
near his bed. His brother and a wo-
man we'll known as a woman with a
past, a present, but no future, it is
alleged, were also in the building. They
were aroused and after telephoning to
the fire department, the Snyders at
tempted to extinguish the flames.
AS the hotel is situated beyond the
city limits and there is but one three
inch hydrant in the vicinity, the steam
ers were not sent to the fire. The burn
ing buildings proximity to the training
stables gave cause for much alarm, but

avert damage.
The Morristown Driving Park is one
OF the Oldest race tracks in the State.
Dexter, Ethan Allen and Goldsmith
Maid and other fast t1otters have brok
en- records and until recent years meets
were held twice yearly.
During the time Demarest and Snyd-
er have been in charge of the track and
hotel the reputation of the place has
been just trifle shady, not to say
tarnished, and since Snyder has sue
ceeded his associate genuine investiga-
ton of the affairs of the hostlery should
have been made by the proper authori-
ties. 1t is alleged that young girls
nightly frequented the place and the
frantic revels participated in have been
of such an evil character as to make
comments numerous, and threats to
bring the disgusting state of affairs to
the attention of the Prosecutor of the
Pleas.
letter has been sent to several local
newspapers stating that the fire was
very suspicious and that at the time the
blaze originated the young woman re-
ferred to and others associated with
the management were drinking and
conducting themselves in a disorderly
manner. 1t is also intimated that the
source of the fire should be investigated
When the letter was shown to Walter
v Snyder, he was visibly affected and
denied the charges. 1.-The woman" he
says, was acting as cook at the hotel,
during the absence of my wife. AS to
the fire being suspicious that is not 60"
One day previous to the burning of the
hotel the insurance policies were trans
ferred from Demarest to Snyder.
