whose death was mentioned in the MoNI-
TOR Abr. 18th, was young woman OF rare

What the Law Says 1t Is and How II is Vic
lated Here.

There has been considerable talk
among residents Of this borough con-
corning parties standing OH corners,
in the postofice and OH the streets,
men, boys and girls, ever young
women, who make unpleasant remarks,
seeming to take delight in annoying
people who are attending to their own
affairs, and in no way meddling Will
them. 1t has very often appeared like
malicious persecution. 1t was moi
known under what heading in law il
could be called, by many so annoyed,
but we are able to enlightsn them.
Justice Mason has justsreceived a new
book entitled, "Honeymoon's New
Jersey Justice" 1t contains all of the
la WIS passed up to January Is, 1904, by
the Legislature. One law in particu.
lar that comes under the head of
"Disorderlv Conduct" states: That
any erson or persons who shall loiter
or assemble on any of the streets. or
in the public places of city, village or
borough of this State, who shall in
dulge in and utter loud and offensive
language. or shall address or make
audible and offensive remarks or COM
ment upon any person passing along
such streets, shall he a%djudged q dis
orderly person and any justice at his
discretion may sentence him to go
days in the county Jail, or a fine of
$25.
Many have wondered what cnnsti-
tuted a "disorderly person." but they
need not wonder any longer and can
have redress when annoyed, as many
have been time after time, (eyen by
some who would be very indignant if
classed anything but young ladies OF
gentlemenJ by going quietly before a
Justice without any notoriety about
it, and have those who think them
selves smart with their insulting re-
marks and giggles in the street and in
the post Office and stores, rightly pun
ished. A few examples will, perhaps,
end their insolence.

FELL DOWN STAIRS.
William Emmons Picked Up Unconscious at
the Bubble Social.


The Bubble Social in the M. E.
church lecture room proved a great
success socially and financially Mon
day night. A good crowd was present
and a neat sum was realized.
Games were playen and everybody
had a delightful time. The blowing
of soap bubbles was the principal feat
ure of tho evening and Ruth Stratton,
of First street, was conceded to be
the biggest blower there and won a
plate of ice cream as q reward.
The only unpleasant thing that hap
pened was when William Emmons
went upstairs to extinguish a light in
the hallway leading to the basement,
fell from the top to the bottom of the
stairs. He was picked up uncon-
scious. He revived in about five min
utes, but could tell them nothing. He
had hurt one of his elbows and had a
large bump on his head. He was able
to go to his work Tuesday. but was a
little dizzy at times and said he did
not even remember having gone to
the social.

Miss Mabel Walters celebrated her

Der of friends, who met at Mrs. James
house and went from there to Mabel's

from, at her home on Main street.

ABOUT THAT SEWER.
What John Scully HAS to Say About the
Matter.

John Scully was overheard discuss
ing an article published in a daily
paper regarding the sewer that lie has
an injunction against. He said that
the party who wrote the article was a
fool, that he did not know where he
got his statistics from, but the sewer
| YVES not the cause of the water main
being frozen, as stated. That he,
(Mr. Scully) would BIZ one OF the first
ones to vote for the and be one
of the first to put his hand in his
pocket and pay his share for the
same, if the W was run out to it's
p ,oper. length but he would not letssuI
on the present sewer system and have
the fifth of the town thrown up in his
dooryard. The article in the paper
goes on to say that if the water pipe
had been put down four feet as they
should have been perhaps they would
not be frozen. The water pipes are
down four feet blu in grading the
ooAOOto SOhbAoO1dOAO 0lAb IuS DcoA
taken off from over some of the pipes
leaving them a little nearer the Tsurf-
ace Of the ground than they should
be. The writer blames the committee
who had charge of the laying of the
pipes and said as much as if they did
not attend to their business properly.
That hit Mr.. Scully also, as he was
one Of the committee and we think
the chairman of it. Mr.. Scully feels
very much hurt that a paper would
publish such statements and would
give most anything for about five
minutes catch-as-catch.ca car, or perhaps
a little rougher with the party who
wrote the article. He said that the
would-De reporters should be careful
what they write, or they will get
into trouble for not speaking the
truth.

SONS OF VETERANS
Gfi ;ers were D.scourag d but Will Con-
time In the Work.

Thore appears to be a tendency OH
the part of q number of the Sons of
Veterans not to attend the meetings
and the officers bucame discouraged
and had made up their minds to give
it up at the meeting last Monday
night, but Captain Smith, of South
River, a State officer of the Sons of
Veterans, being present at that meet
ing, pleaded with them and after con-
Siderable talk they finally relented
and promised him they would keep
together and hope for a better attend
ance on the part Of the other members.
1t would seem that there ought tn
be enough patriotism in the hearts of
the young men to cause them to glad
ly take up the work begun by the
Veterans themselves, who are grad
ually passing away, i. e., that of
meeting and decorating the graves of
those who once offered their lives for
their country aud bravely risked death
in its cause. And it, the society,
ought to appeal in other ways, it is a
place to meet for social converse, for
improving the mind, for talking over
the affairs of our country, and beoom-
ing better acquainted with its nation
al and international status. In fact it
is ten thousand times better, even il
they met every night, than standing
on the corners where so many go for
the sake of a social chat, evenings.
Let this appeal to all who joined the
society and to numbers who have not
Joined, and may it enthuse them and
bring such a number out to the next
meeting, that will astonish those who
have remained faithful and make it
one of the brightest and largest socie-
ties of the borough.

COUNCIL AND
THE SALARIES.
Borough Fathers Leave Several
to be Fixed by New Mayor
and CounCiImen-

When the ordinance regulating the
salaries and fees of borough officers
for the coming year came mp before
tho council last night, for its second
reading, a lively tilt arose between
the members. The salary of the col
%lector was raised from $3.50 to $500
after much discussion. The assessor
will still get $3.50.
1t was when the salary of the Dor
ough clerk was mentioned, that the
storm broke. Mr.. Kerr moved that
the section be expunged from the or
dinance, as this office was appointive,
and the establishment of the salary
should be left to the next mayor and
council. The motion was finally
carried.
The salaries thus stricken out, in
order, were: clerk, $500; borough
counsel, $500; overseer OF poor, $i25;
matron of almshouse, $2l6; physician,
500; chief marshal, $40; deputies,
$720; street commissioner, $720; sup
erintenuent of water works, $500;
j~anitor and Jail keeper, $3.50. The
ordinance as it then stood, passed on
it's third reading.
A letter was received from the State
Agricultural Experiment Station say
ing that So, 600 would be needed to do
away with the mosquitoes along this
borough territory. 1t was accom-
panied by maps.
J. F. Miller ask ed in q letter that
the fence about his property at Thomp-
son and Main streets, be removed, as
he intended to improve the property.
1t was referred to the committee on
streets.
A petition signed by William O'Hara
and 20 others was received, askin G
that a statement of assessments be
published monthly. This was referred
to the committee on assessment.
The application of Louis Burns for

inn and tavern at Ridgeway avenue
and Riordan street, was granted.
The ordinance to open Washington
avenue from Feltus to Main streets

sion will go below this point In It's adj
iustments. AT least no railroad COM
mission has ever yet caused much
damage.
But there Is a greater danger In OPP
position to these reasonable reforms
and that Is In the excuses to which a
popular movement may be driven IL the
people become enraged. When rail-
road men prepare to fight reasonable
reform they invite radicalism and re-
venge. They may expect what they are
pleased to call granger" legislation.
There is already a considerable "grang-
er" movement in progress In Iowa to-
day. It might breed terrible storm.
The arrogance OF the late Judge Hub
bard and the present j. w. Blythe In
their domination of republican poll
tics for railroad interests provoked the
movement that swept Governor Cum
Minis and the present executive council
into office. Unreasonable Interference
now on the part of railroad magnates
is likely to incite a granger" move
ment that will do railroad interests
serious harm. Jim HIS bluffs"

form. They had better accept little
as proposed than to have too much
thrust upon them.
