A Mine Inn Man Found Dead and a

On Sunday morning last, Steve
Meerhan, a well known character of
Mine Hill, was found dead along side
of the creek at "Irishtown. Meer-
han lived alone in a shanty near the

probably on his way home when he
fell over the embankment. When
found he was lying with his face
partly in the water.
On Friday last Charles Foley, who
was employed at the Wharton Fur
mace, was fatally crushed between a
locomotive and platform. Foley was
working along the car tracks when an
approaching engine caught him and
before it could be stopped he was
rolled around two or three times and
badly crushed. DR.. Kice was called
and found five of his ribs brok-
en-, some of them penetrating his
lungs. He died Saturday afternoon

NEWARK ADVERTISER FIRE.

About SIS 200 Worth of Damage Done
to Machinery. Covered by Insurance
A fire which caused considerable
damage and which gave the firemen
hard battle broke out in the Newark
Daily Advertiser building early Tues
day morning. The total loss, roughly
estimated, will be more than 100000,
which is principally covered by in
surance. All the occupants of the
building suffered either from the
flames or from water.
The heaviest losers outside of the
Advertiser itself were Birrell K Mon
tague, printers, and Redding & Bing-
ham, electrotypers. The plants OF
these firms were almost totally de-
stroyed. The other tenants suffered
principally from water. The Adver-
tiser was unable to use its composing
or press rooms and was published
through the office of the Sunday
Call.
The tiremen fought the blaze from
the roofs of adjoining buildings as
we'll as from the inside. Many
streams of water We're brought to
bear, and after an hours work the
danger was over. 1t was o'clock,
however before the companies left.
By that time the building had been
thoroughly drenched with water, and
the lower floors and basement were
flooded a foot OF more.
The blaze melted much of the type
in the job room and rendered the
type setting machines useless. The
Advertisers loss is estimated at
$4,000.

Operations Seem to Have
Been Begun in Dover for
Building Of a Line
WILL MoRRISToWN OBJECT !
AT Present There are no Lines in this
County Being Used for Passenger
Purposes. Dover Council has Been
Asked to Grant Franchise to Morris
County Traction Company. Details
Have not yet Been Arranged.

The Newark News of Tuesday has
the following under date from Dover.
Morris County is at last to be invad-
ed by the trolley and Dover is to be
the starting point, providing the
Dover Common Council and the Morris
County Traction Company, a corpora
tion which since its organization,
about three years ago has had an
existence on paper only, can come to
some sort of a mutual understanding
Overtures were Monday night made
to the Common Council on behalf of
the Morris County Traction Company
by former Town Attorney James FL.
Neighbour, for the building of a
single track road, with the necessary
turnouts, from Rockaway to the
borough of Wharton. A franchise
ordinance had also been prepared by
the Morris County Traction Company,
and this was formally considered at a
conference held after the adjournment
OF the council meeting.
In this ordinance the time for the
completion of the proposed trolley line
was fixed at two years, but the mem
bers of the Common Council were of
the opinion that nine months would
be ample time in which to build SO
much of the proposed road, which is
eventually to be extended eastwardly
to Morristown, and in a westerly di-
rection to Lake Hopatcong, as is pro-
vided for in the ordinance under con-
sideration. A whole slue of other
considerations relating to headway,
rate of fare, manner of construction,
etc, will have to be incorporated in
the ordinance before it will be accept
able to the Dover Common Council.
Meanwhile, to get the project under
way, a resolution was adopted fixing
Monday, July 20, as the date for a
special meeting at which to afford an
opportunity for all for and against, to
be heard.
At present there is not trolley line
in all Morris County, barring one a
few rods long at the Wharton furnace
plant, used for carrying coal, coke,
limestone and ore from the bins to the
furnaces. In Morristown the Morris
County Traction Company will meet
with most formidable opposition from
the commuter element, and should the
company try to extend eastwardly
from Morristown, as it expects to do,
the same opposition will be met with
in Madison. So far as the use Of the
country roads through the several
townships is concerned, little trouble
is anticipated, as the Board Of Free
holders is not expected to interpose
any objections
Robert d. Foote, president of the
Morris County Traction Company, a
year or more ago, when the subject
Of trolleys was discussed in his
presence, and he was asked what the
Morris County Traction Company
would give for a franchise, replied,
Not a cent" Dover is very much
inclined to ask, as a quid pro quo fol
the giving of a franchise, the payment
OF a certain percentage of the com
panys gross earnings in Dover, after a
term of wears.
