DOVER WILL NOT APPEAL.
Common Council Votes Against Taking
Case to Higher Courts.

Common Council Votes Against Taking
Case to Higher Courts.
The Common Council of Dover Mon
day night by vote of 5to 3, one men,
Der being absent, voted down a reso-
luton offered by Alderman Thomas e.
Sturtevant giving the Board of Excise
Commissioners, that was, authority to
prosecute in the name of the Common
Council, an appeal from the decision
of the Supreme Court handed down in
November last, declaring unconstitu-
tional the act Of 1901, which provided
for the establishment of boards of ex-
else commissioners in certain cities
and towns.
The resolution in question was origi-
nally offered by Alderman Sturtevant
at a meeting of the Common Council
in May, but was laid over from time
to time since that meeting until Mon
day night, when itreceived its quietus.
The resolution provided for the prose-
cution Of an appeal at the expense of
OF the former excise commissioners
w. L. r. Lynd, George Singleton and
Henry w. Crabbe--who had expressed
a willingness to pay the costs of such
proceedings as would result in getting
decision on the law points involved
from the Court of Errors and Appeals.
The resolution offered by Alderman
Sturtevant was voted down because
since it was presented the old Board of
Excise Commissioners, having become
tired of the delay in bringing the mat
ter to focus, had applied, through
the law firm of Pitney & Hardin, to
the Supreme Court for a rule to show
cause why the judgment of the SUI
preme Court in the case Of Schwarz VS..
the town of Dover, which resulted in
the ousting from office of the Dover
Board of Excise Commissioners, should
not be reopened. A hearing on this
application had been set down for June
B, but was on that day indefinitely
postponed.
Mayor Soaring and one other mem
Der of the Common Council who voted
against Alderman Sturtevant's reso-
luton Monday night explained that
they had been in favor of appealing
from the Supreme Courts decision,
but inasmuch as the members of the
old board had, by their action in ap-
plying for reopening Of the case, fore
stalled the Common Council, they
would not interfere at this stage.

A NEWARK VIEW OF IT.
What the Editor of the Call, one of the
State Board, has to say on Sewerage

What the Editor of the Call, one of the
State Board, has to say on Sewerage
The Morristown sewerage question
has been laid over for an indefinite
period, and a new agitation will be
necessary to bring it up again. The
city made a grave error at the start.
Against the advice of the State
authorities. the city practically com
mitted itself to scheme for trunk
sewer to extend from Morristown,
through the Summit hill connecting
with the suburban outlet sewer near
Millburn. The figures named in the
preliminary report were absurdly low,
yet the city proceeded upon this
basis, and with the expectation that
the Morris Plains Asylum, Madison
and Chatham would join in paying
the cost. There was no warrant for
this, and, in fact, the other places de-
clined to enter into such an arrange
ment. The Morristown people were
also warned that objection would be
made to increasing the amount OF
discharge of the suburban sewer into
AIUliuI hlllJ dIlu Oildu UllO ooDul Debll
sewer authorities had gave doubts
as to the adviSability of admitting
them, in any case, as the capacity had
already been fixed. Eventually Nor
ristown had further investigation
made of the cost, and the sum needed
was then found to be far beyond the
ability of the city to meet. So the
whole project was dropped. The
commissioners say they are not salts
fed that a local system of disposal
would be practicable. They have
nothing else as a recourse, and they
have never tried to get expert en-
gineering advice on the subject.
They could undoubtedly get practic-
able plan if they really sought it.
Certainly they cannot afford to go
without sewerage, for the reputation
of the place has already suffered on
this account. Newark Sunday Call.

Last Saturdays Storm Left
its Mark in Many Places
IN this Section
WAS BUT ONE SERIOUS FIRE
Other Places were Visited by the
Lightning bolt but the Damage in
each case was very slight. A Number
of Italians on Flagler street who
Occupied House there were Fright-
ened by a bolt.


During the heavy storm of Saturday
last lightning managed to get in CON
siderable work in this neighborhood.
The handsome summer home of Mr..
James I. Pyles at "Glen Alpin, = near
this city, was struck but no great dam
age was done, except TO frighten the
inmates. A number of large windows
were broken and the front cornice was
scorched to such an extent that it will
have to be replaced complete. "Glen
Alpin is about four miles from this
city on the Bernardsville road.
In this city a house standing on
Flagler street owned by George Youngs
of New Vernon and occupied by
number of Italians was struck during
the same storm and hit hard, SO hard
that the chimney fell, but the place
did not catch fire. The. damage done
was somewhere in the neighborhood Of
fifteen hundred dollars, though the
place had a narrow escape from certain
destruction.
Perhaps the heaviest loss recently
sustained in the neighborhood by fire
was that caused by the destruction of
the handsome barn owned by Walter
Bliss, who recently purchased one Of
the Ballantine places at Bernardsyille.
The barn was filed with hay and had
full stock of farming utensils and
machines. There were several horses
in the barn at the time, but these
were saved without trouble The hay
and straw and farming utensils were a
total loss. The fire was the result of
lightning stroke and occurred last
Tuesday evening.
A load of hay standing near the barn
of Isaac Wilsener, near Mendham, was
struck and caught fire. The wagon on
which the hay was loaded was stand
ing near Mr.. Wilsener's handsome
barn, but was moved to an open lot
in time to prevent any damage to the
building. The hay was dumped in
the hay field and scattered. The
falling rain drops soon extinguished
the fire.

Accidents of the Week.

A number of accidents have occurred
at Lake Hopatcong within the last
week, which is unusual for that quiet
summer resort. Jacob Valentine, an en-
neer on one of the Black Line boats
received shock from lightning during
the shower last Saturday afternoon,
which left a large streak upon his
back. He is able to be about, but
suffers from the shock.
On Sunday morning Henry Lam
bert, of Dover, was found lying upon
the track of the Central Railroad in
an epileptic state by Arthur H. Lep-
rohon and Charles Nelson, of this
city, who are spending the sum-
mer at the lake. They were strolling
along the tracks when they came up
on Lambert. A train was heard COM
ing a short distance away, and they
quickly pulled the man off the track
just as the engine came steaming by
After restoring Lambert to conscious
ness, they sent him where he could be
cared for.

County Committee Discusses the
Details Of the New Pri-
mary Election Law.
NAMED WORKING COMMITTEES
Every Man Present Gave it His Opin-
ion that County Clerk Daniel 5. Voor-
hees Should be Renominated. His
Election they Regarded as Foregone
Conclusion. Several Prominent Re-
publicans Placed on Committees.

The campaign of 1903 may be said to
have been opened by the meeting of
the republican county committee held
in this city Wednesday morning,
though the gathering of the county
political directors was more for the
purpose of familiarizing themselves
with the provisions of the new pri-
mary election law than for the pur-
pose of opening campaign which has,
practically, already been won.
Chairman James H. McGraw, of
Madison, called the meeting to order
at ten thirty O'Clock, at which time
about twenty members responded to
the call of the secretary. During the
meeting an informal discussion as to
the prospects of success and an ex-
preston of opinion as to the merits of
candidates was had. There was an un-
animous voicing of a sentiment in
favor of the nomination OF Mr.. Daniel
S. VOORHEES, for county clerk and every
man present agreed that he was not
only the most available, but the most
popular candidate the republicans Of
the county could name. This, as
above remarked was merely informal.
Many pleasant things were also said of
Mr.. Hillery, the present member Of
assembly from this district and the
probable candidate to succeed him
self.
The meeting named several com
mitteeS to carry on the work Of the
coming campaign.
The committee on elections consists
of Mr.. Emile Hurtzig, of Morristown,
chairman, with Mr.. f. S. Smith, of
Morris township, and Nh. John G.
Speed, of Mendham, as his associates.
Mr.. Isaac r. Pierson, of the Jersey
man, was made chairman of the cam
paign committee, and with him will
be Mr.. e. W. Schoneberger, of Passaic
and Mr.. d. R. Hummer, of Dover.
The finance committee will be Mr..
John H. Capstick, of Montville; Mr..
r. w. McEwan. of Hanover; Mr..
Charles M. Lum, of Chatham; Senator
Jacob W. Welsh, of Washington town
ship; Mr. f. H. Beach, of Rockaway;
Mr.. Grinnell Willis, of Morristown,
and Mr.. e. T. H. Talmadge, of Mend
ham.
The executive committee consists OF
Mr.. John H. Capstick, of Montville;
Mr.. Isaac r. Pierson and Mr.. Emile
Hurting, of Morristown, with Chair
man James H. McGraw, as member
ex-officio.
After a detailed examination and
discussion of the new primary law,
provision was made to attend to the
details of the selection of the mem
bers of the boards of registry and cleo
tion. The was followed by adjourn
ment.
1t is understood, though members
of the committee decline to be quoted
on the subject, that the committee
during it's session endorsed the can.
didacy of Freeholder Waters, of Madi-
son borough, for the postmaStership
made vacant by the removal of Post
master Larrison. The matter of a
running mate to Mr.. Hillery for as
sembly, was given considerable atten-
tion, but so far as could be learned no
one was decided upon to receive the
support of the committee.

Thrown From Wagon Near
his Home, and is Bad
ly Injured
HORSE HAD TO BE KILLED
Carrying Some Leader Pipes While
Riding, they Slipped, he Attempted
to Catch Them, lost his Balance, fell
the Horse.

Lying beneath a tree in a vacant lot
on the Foote farm on James street, in
a semi-unconscious state, and bleeding
from cuts and scratches about his face
and head, James Clark, of Morris
street, who is engaged in the whole
sale lumber business, was found by his
wife and Carl Wrede, lumber mer-
chant, last Wednesday noon.
Mrs. Clark grew anxious about her
husbands failure to put in an appear
ance at his noon day meal and was
about to make inquiry for him when
she heard something crash in the
street and fastening to the piazza Of
her home saw carriage demolished in
the gutter in front of the Washington
Hotel, just short distance from her
house, and a horse with its legs broken
struggling against tree.
Going to the spot Mrs. Clark was
startled to find the horse and carriage
to be that of her husband He was
not there.
As to his whereabouts noo one seemed
to know and she became alarmed. Up
on the suggestion of Mr.. Wrede, who
was standing by Mrs. Clark summon
ed a hack and with Mr.. Wrede started
a search for him. Aldus Pierson had
gone ahead on his wheel, and learned
the runaway horse came from out
James street He notified Mrs. Clark,
and together they went down the road
and turned in at the Foote Farm.
Mr.. Clark had been engaged in moy-
ing the old harms on the property and
on inquiry it was learned he had start
ed from there all right.
They walked around the farm build
ing and getting discouraged started to
away, when Mr. Pierson heard some
one groaning. He hurled in the direc-
tion of the noise and discovered Mr..
Clark propped up against a tree in the
lot some distance from the barns. On
asking him what the trouble was Mr..
Clark could not reply.
He was lifted to the hack and driven
to his home. DR.. Pierson was at once
sent for and attended to Mr.. Clark s
injuries He was unable to tell how
the accident happened.
A veterinary surgeon was also sum
moned and killed the horse.
When able to tell of the accident
Mr.. Clark said he had several lengths
of leader pipes in his carriage and
when near the main road leading from
the barns they dropped out of the
wagon and in an attempt to catch
them he said he fell out and this
frightened the horse.
He was dragged some distance strik-
ing his head and body and then he
crawled under tree. After this Mr..
Clark said he did not remember any
thing until brought home, but kept
wondering why some one did not come
after him.
Although cut in several places upon
the head and bruised about the body
Mr. Clark does not suffer from any
broken bones.
