SENATE.



Ten bills were introduced in the
Senate, only three of which may be
considered of general Importance.
One bill provides that all fees col
lected by surrogates, registers of deeds,
county clerks and sheriffs shall be held
for the public and these officers shall
be salaried on this basis: $1,000 in
counties of over 100000 population;
$4,000 in counties of from 100000 to
200, 600 population; $1,000 in counties
of from $4,000 to 100000; $4,000 in
counties of from 10000 to sc, 900; So, 500
in counties of from $4,000 to 10000;
81, 500 in counties of from $4,000 to
$4,000; $1,000 in counties Of from 10000
to $4,000; and 81, 500 in counties of less
than 10000.
Another is aimed at the East Jersey
Water Company. 1t is entitled "An
act to prevent the illegal delivery of
fresh water from river and streams
and other fresh water bodies.n 1t is
claimed that for years the East Jersey
company has been diverting the waters
OF the PaSsaic at will and for its own
gain. A continuance of this diversion
for twenty years, it is urged, would
give the corporation the right to the
water by prescription under the COM
mon law. The East Jersey company
has been so using the water now for
almost twenty years and if the bill be-
comes law it will be illegal for the
company to continue to take the
water.
Another bill is aimed at the ECO

Association Notes.

With rooters and hooters, Shouters
and bouters, the Summit basketball
team came to this city last Monday
night to play-the Association team.
They went home defeated by score
of Is to 49, Throughout the game
the Summit men suffered mental
distress as well as physical. While
they were practicing on the floor of
the "gym." the captain of the team
got worried about the height of the
baskets. He thought they were too
high-not the regulation distance
from the floor. His objection was
not well taken and the game called.
Next complaint registered was against
young woman who, in defense of
her face, it was said, touched the ball
as it came whizzing toward her,
She was finally exonerated from the
charge. Finding that nothing could
be gained by such tactics, the boys
in the second half resorted to what is
termed trough house." This furnish
ed considerable amusement to the
spectators, but did not help them.
The line up is given.

A LADS LONG WALK.
Christopher Mcconnell, Afflicted with
Nostalgia, Walks to New York.

Christopher Mcconnell, eleven
year-old son of the Rev. S. d. Nc
Connell, pastor of All Souls Protestant
Church of New York, ran away from
the Morristown School last Friday
night and turned up at his fathers
home next morning at 9 o'clock.
Young Mcconnell had been a student
in the school but two days; and it is
believed became homesick. The
police here were notified by the school
authorities to look out for him as it
was first thought the boy wandered to
town and was unable to find his way
back to school.
The boy walked to his home in
New York, the distance being about
thirty miles. His route was along the
road through Summit, Short Hills,
and Orange and over the Jersey
meadows to Hoboken.

The vicissitudes of newspaper life IN
Morristown have been varied during
the past century and quarter, and
the Morris County Republican had its
full quota. This paper was finally
transformed into the Morris County
Chronicle, passing into the hands OF r..
L. Lundy, an cratic genius, who is
not yet forgotten, Mr.. Austin still re-
tanning the position of foreman. At
that time he lived on James street.
He is still remembered by the older
men connected with the printing es-
Establishments of Morristown.
Captain Austin died after an illness
of about a year, due to rheumatism
contracted in the Civil War. During
this memorable contest he served with
Company G., Fifth Regiment N. J. Vol.

good executive ability to occupy the
position of assistant supervisor. He
worked in this capacity until his de-
mise on January Is, 1904.
DIR. B. ID. Evans, the medical direct

in the discharge of his duties, loyal to
his superior officers, and honest, up

his fellows or those subject to his d.
rection."
He died after short illness of acute
pneumonia. He was beloved by all
who knew him, and many expressions
of sincere regret for the sudden termi-
nation of SO useful a life are heard
daily among those with whom he was
associated at the hospital. A beauti-
full wreath of flowers was sent by his
friends at the hospital to his home in
Branchville, N. j., where the funeral
services were conducted. Many from
the hospital were present at the
funeral. He was So years of age. A

IDLE AT PULLMAN
Big Shops Completely Closed With
No Prospects OF Early Re-

SEVEN THOUSAND MEN OUT
Ordered to Remove Their TooIs-Pol.
icy of Retrenchment is In
dicated.

Chicago, Sept. 15.-With the closing
of the car repair departments, which
threw the remaining 1900 employees
out of work at the Pullman car works
yesterday, the foreshadowed shutdown
of the big plant was made complete.
Less than 100 men were said to be at
work within the gates at the end of
the day No intimation was given the
men in the notice issued as to the date
of reopening and the duration of the
shutdown is a matter of uncertainty in
Pullman.
Your services will no longer be re
quired and you are requested to re-
move your tools at once" was the sub
stance of the order discharging the
employees from their places in the shops
of the company.
Fear Retrenchments Are Planned.
Old employees who had been on the
pay rolls of the company for years re-
garded the latter part of the order with
alarm, and were ready to credit the
rumor of the last few months to the
effect that the operation of the plant
was to be changed and a policy of re-
trenchment pursued.
More than 1000 men dependent up
on the Pullman works for their sup
port are now without employment. For
the first time in several years the
whistle did not summon the thousands
of employees to work in the morning.
A few men were kept at work in one
of the repair shops, but only as many
as were absolutely necessary for the
maintenance of the plant.
Seeking Employment Elsewhere.
Even during the 1904 strike we
were not told to remove our tools"
said John Grove, a foreman in the fin
ishing department. Il feel that many
of the men never will be taken back.
| have secured employment in Balti-
more and will leave with my family
next week"
About five-siXths of the Pullman en-
plOyeS are members of unions. The
plant has been operated on the open
shop basis, however, ever since the
1894 strike, when the union cause was
defeated. Union scale wages have
been paid by the company, and there
has been complete satisfaction on this
score.
