That sentence Imposed Upon Him

John l.. Williams, editor of the
Enterprise, who was convicted OF
libel, this morning was fined 300 and
costs of the suit. Mayor Reed, coun-
sci for Williams, made a plea for
leniency and Judge Mills in imposing
sentence said that the court considered
the verdict of the jury a just one, but
would take into consideration the
recommendation of the jury to mercy,
and would impose light sentence.
To-day is sentence day in the Morris
county court and the first business
done was the imposing of the follow
ing sentences
Frank Marck, indicted for selling
liquor illegally, pleaded guilty. Fined
800, without costs.
George Scales, convicted of burglary.
d. f. Barkman, counsel for the
prisoner asked the leniency of the
court, saying that the prisoner plainly
showed that he was lacking in mental
capacity. The court took the plea
into consideration, but said as this
was the second time the prisoner had
been before the court in six years he
would sentence him to three years at
hard labor in state prison.
Jefferson d. Johnson, colored, had
pleaded guilty to petit larceny, and
had already been confined six weeks
was sentenced to two months in
the county jail, and thence until the
costs are paid.

guilty to larceny and was sentenced

MARTHA WASHINGTON DAY
Ladies' Honor the Memory of the Wife
First President, the Foremost
Woman of Her Day.

Martha Washington Day was fit
tingly celebrated in this city at
Washington's headquarters on We'd
nesday afternoon last by the wives of
the members of the Washington
Association, whose husbands and
friends were permitted to take part
in the annual event upon invitation
from the ladies who had gathered to
do honor to one of the foremost women
ofher time. Fully eight hundred guests
were present, who listened to excel
lent music from two of the best bands
procurable These were the Seventh
Regiment band and the Sixty ninth
regiment band. They were assigned
positions on opposite sides of the
lawn in front of the honored old
building. AS the guests arrived they
entered the main corridor and were
greeted by the reception committee,
the president and yice-president Of
the Washington Association. The
guests were permitted to roam at
their own sweet will as no special pro-
gram had been arranged for their
entertainment 1t was social
gathering of an informal nature,
topped off by an elaborate luncheon
served in Lafayette hall by caterer
Day.
Every guest present enjoyed the
affair keenly and congratulated the
managers of the event upon the large
attendance, among whom were ladies
and gentlemen of the greatest prom
inence in this section. The cele-
bration was under the supervision
of Mr.. Jonathan O. Roberts, presi-
dent of the Washington Association.

CIVIL ACTIONS In COURT.
Aged woman's Suit to Compel Youth to
Marry Her was Dismissed. Dry
Case Now On.
A breach Of promise case was thro,

A breach Of promise case was thrown
out of court on Monday afternoon.
The principals were Mrs. Hester M.
Woodruff, who admitted her age was
between 65 and 81 years, and Harry L.
Schwarz, of Dover, who is % years of
age. The case was brought before
County Law Judge Alfred Elmer Mills.
and was moved by q. S. Davenport
and Eugene J. Cooper, counsel for
Mrs. Woodruff. They alleged that a
marriage contract had been made by
Schwarz, and they asked for its per-
formance. Mrs. Woodruff was put on
the stand and testified that Schwarz
had on several occasions promised to
marry her. She is a very elderly-look-
ing woman, short, wrinkled by age and
corpulent.
Cross examination brought out the
fact that she was married in 1885 to
Stephen Woodruff, had five children,
3 sons and daughters, and was di-
yorced in 1901. When asked by LAWYER
Fitzherbert how old she was, she told
him it was none of his business, and an
appeal was made to the court to com
pei the woman to reveal her age, which
she then said was u.
She admitted that Schwarz pro-
posed to her prior to 1901, and then
Lawyer Fitzherbert asked the court
for non-suit on the grounds of an
illegal contract, which was granted
without hesitation. Schwarz is a son
of Leopold d. Schwarz, of Dover. For
several years the young man has con-
Quoted real estate business in that
city. He had been looking after Mrs.
Woodhull's property for some years,
but denies ever having exhibited any
indication of affection for her or
promising to marry her.
There was feeling of sympathy
expressed for Mrs. Woodruff in the
court room as it was felt she was the
victim of practical joke.
An ejectment case is being tried in
court brought by Elizabeth E. Lee
against John Lake, both of Lake Ho-
patcong. The suit grew out of right
of way across Mrs. Lees property.
She has tried for a long time to COM
pei Lake to open a certain roadway to
and from her property. She has been
unsuccessful in her attempts and has
come into court and asked that a right
OF way across the property be estab-
lished so that there will be no mis-
understanding as to her rights.

NOT AN UNUSUAL EXPERIENCE
This is One Of the Ordinary Incidents in
the Life ofa Fish and Game Warden
Operating in This Section.

Since the first of May numerous
anglers, amateur and otherwise, have
visited Lake Hopatcong and it is re-
ported that bass, and pickerel less
than the required length, have been
taken and shipped to Newark and
other places in eastern Jersey. The
report is probably true, although ille-
gal captures have not come within the
certain knowledge of the press re-
porters, but local courts have taken
cognizance of transgressions and inn
posed fines on violators of the law.
This has led to the detailing of special
fish wardens to stop such infractions
of the law by seizure of fish and arrest
Of the violators.
This rule created a scene on the
$3.50 train running east from Landing
Sunday evening. On Friday last a
party of ten Newarkers went to the
lake on fishing trip, among them ex-
Assemblyman Kreidler, Freeholder
Enos Harrison, William Skinner and
w. H. Jamowney. They caught thir-
teen-an unlucky.number, as Mr.. Skin
ner observed. Special warden Jones
boarded the train at Dover to inspect
the scatch' of all returning fisher
men. Tapping Mr.. Skinner on the
shoulder he asked to see his fish.
Skinner, not knowing Jones' official
status, laughingly replied that he had
left his fish in the lake. Jones said:
"Well, you've been fishing and | want
to see your fish. I'm fish and game
warden, . turning back his coat and
showing his badge. Skinner then in
formed the warden that the fish were
with the party in the front end of the
car and Jones moved in that direction.
He then tackled Mr.. Jamowney and
asked him if he had any fish. Jamow-
ney, not yet aware that Jones was a
fish warden, replied that he had a
dress-suit case full. Jones again asked
to see the fish and Jamowney got
angry. Jones said that he was a fish
warden and showed his badge, but
Jamowney was shot" and said he
wouldn't show them to the President
of the United States even if he had
the army to back him. Jones told
Jamowney that he would arrest him
and take him off the car. Jamowney
replied that he had paid his fare and
no one could put him off the train.
Just then Freeholder Henry took a
hand in and explained to Jones that
Jamowney was joking when he claimed
to have a suitcase filled with fish;
that the whole party had caught but
thirteen and produced the fish. No
illegal fish were found and Jones
passed on. This closed the incident,
which was marked throughout with
peliteness and tirmness on the part OF
the officers.

SOME ONE BORROWED HORSE
Mr.. John G1een Does Some shopping
and Returns to Find his Horse
had Been Taken From Sheds

Mr., John Green Does Some shopping
and Returns to Find his Horse
had Been Taken From Sheds
A horse and blackboard belonging to
John Green, florist, living on Mt.
Kemble avenue, was stolen from under
the Mansion House sheds last Satur-
day night, but found Sunday morning
along the Mendham road near the
property of Luther Kountze.
Mr.. Green generally ties his horse
under the sheds when in town, and on
Saturday night he left it there while
he went to make some purchases at
the stores. When he returned with
his hands full of parcels to put in the
wagon it was about ten O'Clock, but he
could not find his rig. A search was
made about the Mansion II Gus
grounds, but nothing could be learned
as to its whereabouts. The police were
notified and Immediately telephoned
to Newark and other nearby cities,
and at the same time made careful
search about the town. Mr.. Green al
so began search, but could not hear
of it anywhere, extending his search
even to Jersey City. Sunday night a
farmer living on the Mendham road
saw horse and wagon, apparently
without any owner, along the highway
and took possession of it, notifying
the police, who secured the rig and
turned it over to Mr.. Green. The police
are inclined to believe the horse wan.
dered away, but Mr.. Green thinks it
was stolen and that the thief aban
doned it, fearing he would be caught
The chances are, however, that some
one who had imbibed too freely of the
spirits so freely offered during the day
had desire to get home without tax
ing his limbs too much and 'sbor
rowed" the rig.
Not feeling satisfied with the story
told by the man who found the horse
on the Mendham road, Mr.. Green ha:
made a complaint against him.

visited the traps and made good
scores. Five expert" traps are in
position, and all work well. The men,
bers will hold club shoots twice each
week, the first Of these being to-mor-
row.

night and decided to accept a chal-
lenge from Newton for series of three
matches, the first of which will proba-
bly, be brought off in Newton on We'd
nesday, June "a. 1t is desired that
as many members as possible go to
Newton, and it will also be in order to
have all club members get in as much
practice as possible between now and
the date of the event. A club shoot
will be held to morrow. Six new mem
bers were elected at the meeting of
last evening.
