OBITUARY.

Thomas B. Pierson, who died at
his home on High street yesterday
morning had been in poor health for
several years, although he had been
confined to his bed only few days.
For years his face has been familiar
one in the community, in which he
was highly esteemed and where for
many years he had been a leading
business man.
Mr.. Pierson was born at Mendham
in 1888. His parents, who formerly
were we'll known residents of Mount
Freedom and removed there in 1888,
where he attended the public school,
afterwards learning the carpenter S
trade which he later followed inNew-
ark and in Morristown The late
Iohabod Soaring, who at that time
kept large store and house furnish
ing store in addition to the plumbing
business, rendered Mr.. Pierson the
position of manager in the early six
ties, which he accepted. He was with
this concern until the death of the
proprietor, when the firm of Day,
Soaring & Co., was formed, he be-
coming member of the firm. The
business increased rapidly: Mr.. Pier
son also obtained a patent upon
system Of ventilation, which was
introduced in many public buildings.
In 1878 he purcha sed the interests of
his partners, continuing the business
until shortly before his death.
Always an active Republican he
was twice elected a member .of the
CommonCouncil where he served on
several Important committees. He
was member of CINCINNATI Lodge,
A. f. q A. NJ, and Madison Chapter,
No. 20 Royal Arch Masons; in both
organizations he acceptably filled high
offices. He was also q member of the
Washington Association of New Jer-
sey. Mr.. Pierson united with the
Methodist Church many years ago.
His wife who formerly was Miss
Gertrude P. Loree, four sons, Charles
H., Frank E., Walter B. and Angus
tus f., and a daughter, Miss Laura
L. survive. The funeral services
will be held from his late residence,
No. "a High street tomorrow at

More Talk of the Trolley.

Trolley and trolley only, was dis
cussed by the Board of Trade at its
monthly meeting Monday evening.
John E. Melick's plan for a line run
ming out Water street connecting at
Caldwell with lines for Newark
and the Oranges, and also another
branch running to Paterson was hear
tily endorsed by the Board. Mr.,
Melick, in speaking of the project
said "Several New England capital
lists. now the owners of excellent pay
ing trolley lines running through su-
burban towns in the State of Yer
mont, are interested in the scheme.
The rails to be used will weigh any
where from 70 to so pounds and pro-
viding a franchise is granted by the
Board of Aldermen the work will be
started this autumn. Following Mr..
Melick's talk, various members spoke
on the general good the trolley would
be to Morristown.

Editor Chronicle:
I hope your readers will excuse me
for calling to their attention such an
uninteresting.and unpopular subject
as death, particularly when there are
SO many subjects of vital interest to
the business men of the town that
might comment upon. But I think l
can prove to the business men of Nor
ristown that my theme is quite an
important one after all, and we'll
worthy of their consideration. Indeed,
I think, on the whole, it is away ahead
Of "trolleys'' or "sewers" for if the
present rate of mortality among our
business men continues. and it will,
it will be but very short time when
we won't care whether the town is
ever severed or whether the trolley
runs up or down South street.
During the past four years, between
thirty and forty prominent business
men, young and old, of this town
have died, mean just what I say,
PROMINENT BUSINESS MEN.
This would be one every six weeks.
Every six weeks on an average one of
us has got to go, four years from
now thirty or forty of us will be To-
Gated in the "City of the Dead. :"
Rather important, isn't it?
Respectfully yours,
OBSERVER.

Cupid Steals a March.

Considerable surprise was occasion
ed among the friends of Louis @.
Lephron and Miss Angie A. Sands,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. H. M.
Sands of Western avenue, Monday
morning when it was learned of theil
sudden and romantic marriage al
Lake Hopatcong. Mr., Lephron and
Miss Sands left Saturday afternoon
for the lake where they had been
invited for few days by several
friends who were camping. 1t was
generally known they were engaged
but no date had beec set for the wed
ding. Upon arriving at the camr
the marriage was suggested, the
tent deliberately decorated with Ian
terms and the Rev. Samuel Jones.

perform the ceremony. AT s o'clocB
the couple were united with Miss

Whippany, Aug. 18th, 100

Whippany, Aug. 18th, 1902.
Editor of the Chronicle:
Allow me the use of short space
in your columns to express the joy
that comes to the inhabitants of
Whippany over the new trolley line
that is in contemplation, connecting
US with Morristown. Every Saturday,
the Messrs. McEwan run train up
and back in the evening which is. very
much appreciated. This gives us an
opportunity for trading after dark.
But there are many people who can
not go at that time. With the trolley
we can go and come at any time dur
ing the day. If the people of Morris
town will aid us, instead of disoour-
aging the builders, we will be under
lasting obligations.

Guerin, who had been staying at a

Regarded purely as BUSINESS enter
prise the trolley would pay in Morris
town. In many places with smaller
populations the experiment has proved
a success. The next scheme to bring
the trolley into Morristown should be
very carefully considered Such an
opportunity may never occur again.
In most cases the citizens are called
upon to aid the project financially,
but in this one all that is asked is the
operation of the public in securing
the permission of the property hold
ers along the proposed line. 1t seems
to me that those not willing to
grant this privilege are standing in
their own light. Our business men
should be active in this matter. 1t is
to their interest that the project
should be carried to completion as
soon as possible. 1t means dollars and
cents to every merchant Morristown
is the principal town within a radius
OF eighteen or twenty miles. We
have large stores; large and complete
assortment in all branches of mer-
chandise. The trolley will bring the
people from Whippany and all smaller
villages along the line.

pest house is closed for which the
community at large may have reason
! to be thankful The house is owned
by J. r. Moody and rented for $75 a
month. Several weeks age Mrs. Hor-

informing him that the CRATE in the
kitchen range was in such diIapi-

to use an old broiler in order to hold

cordance with her request, Mr.. Crane
laid the matter before Mr. Moody who
asserted that the range was in faiI
condition and refused to repair it.
The matter was then put aside, Mr.
Moody going to Canada where his
family are summering, and Mr..
Crane to Vermont Now was Mrs.
Horlaoher's opportunity. Several
moving vans from nearby town ga
thered in front of the house about
o'clock last Saturday morning and
were quickly filed. The house was
then locked, the curtains were left
halfway up and the milkman left his
milk as usual and the baker his
rolls upon the rear porch, 1t was
nearly noon before the affair be.
came generally known.
The sanitarium was opened last
autumn with some nine or ten pa
tients. Cards were distributed which
read:

The Chronicle referred to it at the
time as a menace to public health,
and suggested that the Health Board
investigate the case No attention
was paid the matter, however. until
early in the summer, when the Chron.
icle again attacked the institution
referring in particular to the barbar.
ious method in which patient was
transported from the depot in an oper
express wagon. Through her attorney,
City Clerk Stillwell, Mrs. Horlachel
demanded an immediate retraotion oi
the article, which. we refused to make.
The Board of Health then woke up,
serving a notice upon Mrs. Horlacher.
A short time afterwards hel
only patient died, making -four
deaths in all. During the past two
months, not a single invalid has beer
cared for which probably explains
Mrs. Horlacher's eagerness to leave
town. Only few bills were left
unpaid including $75 due Mr., Moody
for rent.
