The Scranton Times belittles the Uni

front with an apology for the organi-

acts as that which disgraced Edgerton,
the officiousness of the Times in has

RAILROAD NOTES.

A new rule went into effect ON the
Lackawanna last week in regard to
transporting baby carriages upon
which is now placed charge of %
cents.
The recent action of the New Jersey
Central officials appointing a watch
inspector, whose duty is to see that
the watches of all trainman are pro-
perly regulated, has created some dis
satisfaction on the part of the en-
ployes affected. This appears to arise
mainly from the fact that the order
specifies five standard American
watches, thereby excluding many pet
timepieces used by employees, for
which high prices. ranging from $1O0
to$150 have been paid. Under the new
order employees will be furnished by
the company with watches ransging
in price from $24 to $50, at four
months credit.

when it is to be given, the work will
be in fine shape. The Epworth

Lena Blizzard, of Jersey City, first

FIRE WARDENS' OUTING

1t is said that the numerous orders
left with local tailor's for eleastic
back vests, by members of the Board OF
Fire Wardens is accounted for by the
fact that the Ninth Annual Outing of
the Ancient and Honorable Wardens
will be held at Willett's Point, Long
Island Sound, on Tuesday, August 9Th
where their headquarters will be at
Garrisons Hotel, one of the best
known hostelries ON the Sound.
The start will be made from Nor
ristown at 7.12 in a special car
being attached to the Dover express.
At Hoboken, the fine steam yacht,
Joseph Stickney, which has been
especially chartered for the occasion,
will be boarded. Following q de-
lightful trip up the sound as far as
Norwalk, the return will be made to
Willett's Point where shore dinner
will be served, including a genuine
Rhode Island clam bake, presided
over by chef who has grown gray
in this work at Narragansett. This
is what causes the orders for vests
with "stretchy' backs. Following
dinner, baseball, bowling and the
annual target shoot will occupy the
remainder of the time until the Stick
ney is boarded for the home trip.
The committee having the matter
in charge has given personal atten-
tion to the arrangements which
are about completed. The members
comprising it, have worked overtime
and their names which follow are
guarantee of the occasion: Daniel
S. Voorhees,, E. A. Quayle, John
Jacob Astor Owens, Carl Kersting

Domonie cIassed as a Fraud.

Several weeks ago, colored indi-
vidual calling himself the Rev.
James Jackson opened a Union
Baptist Mission" ON Washington
street over Karn & Eichlin's grocery
store. Information has been obtained
since that the so-called minister 10 a
fraud and accordingly Rev Samuel
Zane Batten has asked that the fol-
lowing be made public.
ITO Whom it May Concern:
For some weeks there has ap-
peared in the papers the notice of q
"Union Baptist Church meeting on
Washington street. The people of
the town are hereby notified that this
so-called Union Baptist Church is a
fake and fraud, and they are re-
quested to give it no countenauce or
help. l understand collectors are]
out soliciting funds to carry on the
so-called church. The people are
warned against the pastor himself,
as he is here on his own responsible
ty; his name does not appear in the
minutes of the ministers of the Bap-
tist church, this is not a Union
Church and is not Baptist. To give
money to this cause is to waste it
Nay, worse it is to encourage a man
who has no right whatever to claim
the name of a Baptist minister. If
this not is sufficient more informa-
tion will be forthcoming.

THE DAVENPORTsWILL CASE.

On Tuesday the Davenport Will
case was again taken up before Judge
Garretson. Ex-Governor George T.
Werts, William McCue, of Butler and
G. Franklin Wilson represented the
second will. Richard Fitzherbert and
W. W. Cutler looked after the interests
of the contestants, while Irving E.
Salmon represented the executors of
the first will and beneficiaries under
the second will.
Jas. T. Davenport who lived at
Green pound, made will in October
of 1899 IN which he left the bulk of
his property to his wife during her
life, but she died the following Feb
ruary and during March he made a
second will in which he left the
homestead to Mrs. Nellie Johnson,
his grandson wife, and the Milton
farm to Mrs. Frances l.. Johnson,
anu W h1IS- hllll0 GChndIb anu hlSo
Minnie LaRoe, granddaughter,
$500.
Previous to his death lunacy pro-
ceedings were instituted by Mr..
Davenport's daughters, they claiming
that he was insane. The case was
carried over to Wednesday when
DR.. B. D.ssEvans, Medical Director at
the New Jersey State Hospital at
Morris Plains was the principal wit
ness in giving expert testimony.
James D. Eckhart, of Dover, testified
as to the value of the property be-
longing to Mr.. Davenport which he
considered to be worth about $31, 200.
1t is rumored however, at the present
time the estate is not worth more
than S., 600.
James H. Neighbour, one of the
commissioners appointed to look in
to the insanity of Davenport, told
of several instances when his mind
seemed seriously deranged
After several other witnesses had
been placed upon the stand, the case
was adjourned until next Tuesday.

KILLED BY TRAIN.
James Riley of " hippany Meets His
Death on Railroad Near
.Jauuis' rIiH.


Crushed to death by locomotive
was the sad fate that befell James
Riley, 65 years of age and for the past
thirty-five years resident of Whip
pany, Saturday evening. The fatal
accident occurred between and
9 O'Clock. The general impress
sion among trainmen seems to
be that Riley was ground to death
under the wheels of the train leaving
Morristown at 9 o'clock on its way
down from the yards. The body
was discovered at twenty minutes
past nine by DeForest Dawley and
William E. Wulfers, who in company
with a young lady were walking
along the rails from the bridge at
Water street towards the station.
When found the body was lying in
the middle of the westbound track
and the top of the head which had
been taken off as with knife was
lying between the east-bound rails.
The local ticket agent was imme-
diately notified as were the police.
Later the remains were taken to
Whippany where they were placed in
care of Undertaken Cook. A wife
and three grown daughters survive.
Funeral services were held from the
Catholic Church at Whippany Tues
day afternoon and interment was
made in the cemetery of that place.

Railroad to Camp Franklin Murphy,
and during every moment of his linn
tied stay there and until he waved
good bye en- route home from the
Highlands.
The day was as one of the "rare
days III June" with just enough
breeze from the southeast to make
the conditions of the camp simply per-
feet. The States property at Sea Girt
never appeared to better advantage
From the tall flag staff at the
Little White House" now more ap-
propriately named than ever, lazily
futtered the Governors flag, with It's
sister State colors beside it. The
magnificent parade ground never
looked greener. From the east flags
marked the rifle butts, while the tents
of snowy whitness were in complete
alignment. Everything was in apple
pie order, Colonel Collins himself
making regimental inspection early
in the morning.
The crowds began to arrive as early
as eight o'clock. Governor Murphy
and his staff, and Secretary Swayze
must have been out soon after dawn,
for every arrangement was completed
before 10 o'clock. Pickets patrolled
the Governor cottage and it's imme-
diate vicinity, and woe betide the
person whoever he may have been
who attempted to pass without an
official permit.
The gathering sightseers came
by train, automobiles of every des-
cription and varied carrying capacity,
coaching parties from Long Branch
and Hollywood, bicycles, "prairie
schooners'' from the pines, farm wag
ons, carriages and every other des-
cription of vehicle, were good ma
tured, bought lavishly of flags and
ebadges of the numerous leather lung
ed venders and all seemed intent
upon getting as good view of the
President as possible. When it was
officially announced that the "May-
flower" had been detained in Prince S
Bay by low tide the crowd simply
waited patiently and continued to
look sweet, especially the ladies who
numbered many thousands. 1t is
said by those competent to judge that
not less than $4,000 persons were at
the camp, while half as many more
were assembled at the stations along
the railroad, all intent in giving the
President, at least hearty cheer as
his train slowly slipped by with
Teddy" in the observation compart-
ment of the last car, the "Atlas, :"
from which he bowed and smiled.
Upon the arrival of the special train
