Fifty-fo0t Brick Pavement May
Be Laid to Garfield.
Petitions Calling for 23 Blocks
Now in Circulation.
WALNUT GROVE ALSO.
Van Buren May Be Paved to
Shunganunga Greek.
Other Localities. Are Talking of
Getting Up Petitions.

Already the rush of securing pave
ment for next year has commenced, and
five petitions representing a total of %
blocks, are being circulated
The petition for six blocks of pavement
on Kansas avenue from Gordon street
to Garfield park in North Topeka viii
be of interest to all the people of To-
peka, for if the petition is signed by
sufficient number of people, it will re-
suit in securing pavement on one of the
finest streets in the city direct to the
gates of the only large park adjacent to
town. This pavement will be so feet
wide.
So far as known. the following is a
complete list of the petitions now i'll
circulation, the material in all cases be-
ing brick:
Kansas ave, Gordon to GARFIELD 6 blocks
Van Buren. Huntoon to goth. s. blocks
Taylcr. Tenth to Huntoon. blocks
Harrison. Huntoon to Hunting
tS,L ton =: blocks
Total . .......23 % blocks
In addition to the above mentioned
petitions, there is strong probability
that other streets will be paved next
summer. if the city's credit holds out.
The plan to pave the south end of Kan
sas avenue, from Tenth to Fifteenth,
which came near being carried out two
years ago. will likely be revived. One or
more blocks may be added to the west
end of the West Eighth avenue pave
ment. Lowman Hill is also very de-
sirous to have pavement out there, as
residents in that locality feel that the
pavements and projected pavements to
Washburn college, Dennis & Martins
addition, Orchard Place and Walnut
grove are turning the tide of growth
and improvement in that direction and
making Lowman Hill a less desirable
residence portion of town.
Lowman Hill petitioned for pavement
on Morris avenue last year. and would
have secured it except for the fact thai
the petition lacked a few of the neces-
sary front feet The trouble is at
Lowman Hill that as yet there is no
pavement closer than Fillmore street,
which leaves a five-block connection to
be made in order to make the Lowman
Hill pavement of much benefit in case it
is laid.
Last year there was some talk of
paving Buchanan street through from
Eighth to Thirteenth. a distance of
seven blocks. This would help Lowman
Hill little, and would give pavement
past the front of the governors man
sion.
The petition for pavement on Van
Buren from Huntoon to Twentieth is an
important one. It will be, if successful.
the first pavement to be laid in Walnut
Grove. 1t extends clear through to the
south as any pavement has so far been
Shunganunga creek, which is as far
built. Buchanan street is paved to
Twentieth.

WILLIAM ARCHER'S
PAINFUL ACCIDENT.
Ferracute Employee Has Two
Thumbs Mashed and Nails
Removed in a Press.

William Archer, employed as ma
chinist at the Ferraoute, met with a
most painful accident Thursday while
at work 1t was about one O'Clock in
the afternoon and Mr.. Archer was
working on the construction of press.
In some peculiar manner spring
broke from it's bed and caused sud
den contraction of iron bodies, draw
ing his two thumbs between them.
One thumb nail was entirely torn off
and the other thumb lacerated in such
manner as to necessitate the remov-
ing of the nail. Both were mashed
badly. Mr.. Archer was removed to
the office of DIR. Alfred Cornwell and
attention given tie injuries. He will
not be able to attend to his duties for
several days.

BETTER FIRE
PROTECTION NOW.
Fire Committee Has Decided
Upon Very Sensible Move.

The present fire committee of City
Council is Messrs Deal, Morrison and
Sellers. These gentlemen are all the
while planning and preparing for it's
higher efficiency, giving the people
better protection against fire.
Saturday Councilman Morrison, of
the committee, was speaking to a
Pioneer" man. He said that the
Department had couple of old hose
trucks that were in very fair condi-
tion, and it had been decided that
they should be put to some use. Ar
rangements are being made to cover
up the reels with some of the second
class hose on hand, and place one of
&them down at the Traction Company s
barns on South avenue and another in
the old Pennsylvania depot out on
NIrving avenue.
II This will not cost the city anything,
and will add facilities in parts of the
town now almost wholly unprotected.
: 1t would seem as if this was a very
good scheme. The committee will
make the proposition to do this before
Council tomorrow night

SHERIFF MADE
A COUPLE OF SALES.
A Farm up in Deerfield Township
and the Entire Town of Hal
bertOn.

Sheriff Hendee made a couple of
sales Saturday in front of the Hotel
Cumberland, and there was a big
crowd of curious people around to
watch the proceedings.
The first property was thirty seven
acre farm up in Deerfield township
and Judge Hoagland bid in the real
estate for $1100, for Ebenezer White
car
The second sale was the much talked
OF village OF Halberton, which lies III
the lower part of the county very
near the Cape May line.
The town of Halberton has been in
the newspapers for some time.
Most people remember it. The
little town sprang into existence as a
Hebrew settlement. A factory was
erected, church and school was
added and some houses went up to ac-
commodate the people. The enter
prise failed to pan out, and became
deserted, and for the past nine years
has caused several Sheriffs more or
less work. Sheriff Shinn made an at
taohment of the property, and now
the final foreclosure proceedings have
occurred.
The New Jersey Building and In
vestment Company had a mortgage of
$500 against the property, and now
the village has passed into the hands
of the Investment Company. Satur-
day afternoon the Sheriff's auctioneer
announced that there were sixteen
dwelling houses, and factory upon
the site. The latter is said to be
worth about $4,000 and is equipped
with boiler and engine, and all ready
for future industrious enterprise
There was but a single bid made for
the property Saturday afternoon.
Former Assemblyman Scudder, of
Mercer county, representing the Loan
Company, was here and bid $1,000, and
for this figure the property was
knocked down. What the institution
intends to do with the property is not
known.

COURT TESTIMONY
LED TO ARREST
Lewis Newc0mb, John Blizzard,
Horace Blizzard and Albert
Bradford Arrested Yesterday.

At the recent term of Court in the
trial of State vs.. Carl Newcomb for
the alleged illegal taking of terrapin
from the Delaware bay, there were
four witnesses, Lewis Newcomb, John
Blizzard, Horace Blizzard and Albert
Bradford, who testified that they
caught terrapin in Delaware and sold
Carl Newcomb one hundred and fifty.
This testimony practically removed
the crime that hung over Carl New
combs head as the jury after long
discussion returned without verdict,
having disagreed and nothing was
done to convict the defendant.
Entirely unaware were these four
witnesses, when they gave testimony
that they were laying the foundation
for their arrest and probable convic-
tion, in which case they might be
fined, sent to prison or whipped at the
post, or all three sentences could be
imposed.
Had this testimony been stricken
out or not been given the defendant
would undoubtedly have been fined
$50, which is the recorded penalty for
such an offense. AS it is the four
men are under arrest.
Since Sunday Sheriff Frank Reedy,
of Dover, Kent county, Del, has been
here, having been sent by the Game
Commission of that state. Monday
he, Sheriff William Q. Hendee and
Game Warden Fred Conner, of this
city, went to Cedarville with warrants
for the four accused men. They were
apprehended and brought to Bridgeton
Monday night and arraigned beforeJus-
tice of the Peace, Arthur @. Mulford.
Bail was fixed at $500 and Newoomb,
John Blizzard and Bradford were
successful in securing the proper
bonds but Horace Blizzard is confined
to the county jail
Tuesday Sheriff Reedy returns to
Delaware to report the capture. In
about a week he will have secured
requisition papers from Governor
| Murphy, of New Jersey, and the four
men will be removed to Delaware to
answer at the bar of justice for their
crime. The fact that they have sworn
to catching the terrapin in Delaware
will probably convict them and a
heavy fine imposed as the rules gov
erning such an offense in that state
are more strict than Jersey game laws.
The case has stirred the residents of
Cedarville to considerable excitement.

JERSEY TEACHERS
RETIREMENT FUND.
If They are Quick About it,
Teachers May Join ON the
One Per Cent. Basis.

Now is the time to join the retire
ment fund on the one per cent. basis,
but teachers must be quick about it.
The original law permitted all
teachers to join on the basis of month
ly dues of one per cent. of their salary
without any other condition, but the
law of 1900 imposed much severer
terms on those who had taught more
than ten years. These the law of 1900
compelled to pay two per cent. while
teachers of fifteen or more years SER
vice were obliged to submit to "a
medical examination" and, if the
medical examination proved "satis-
factory" they could join on the two
per cent. basis.
The act of 1900 has been declared
Unconstitutional, and the retirement
fund is temporarily governed by the
old law Any teacher, therefore, may
now join on the one per cent. basis,
without any other requirement. The
new school bill contains Objectionable
features. 1t may be passed any day !;
so teachers who wish to escape the
two per cent and medical examination
provisions should apply for member
ship at once by postal card to Miss E.
A. Allen, secretary of the retirement
fund board of trustees, 1917 Garden
street, Hoboken, N. J. Applications
must be dated.
2,S86 teachers are members of the
fund and new names are being added
daily The funds income is over
500, 600, it's permanent endowment is
already above 5000, it is paying
$12, 491 in annuities, and has on file
many applications for retirement.

grocery store just above Washington

The trouble was caused by two men
aunder the influence of liquor who
Aevidently went there with the inten-
tion of cleaning out the place.
Aa The appearance of the officers
tquieted things considerably and the
fmen were taken into custody. One
fgave the officer chase but was finally
Irun down. At the Mayors office Satur-
