OBITUARY.
DIR. II. A. NEwBoLD.

| A telegram from Mount Holly re-
ceiyed this morning conveyed the sad
intelligence that DR.. Herman "a. New
bold died at bis mothers home there
at 1890 last night. The news was a
great surprise to his friends here who
had received word from time to time
of the doctors rapid Improvement.
Only last week letter from his moth
er told of herpleasure at her sons con-
dition.
DIR. Newbold was born and spent
his early life at Mount Holly. He
came to Morristown several years ago
from New York hospital as the as
sistant of DR.. Joseph E. Wright On
the removal of the latter to the West
DIR. Newbold took his practice He
was a thoroughly Informed physician
loyal to his patients and before he left
Morristown had a large practice.
A year ago or more his throat began
to trouble him. Doctors disagreed as
to the cause some declaring that he
had tuberculosis, others that his diff
ficulty was a throat affection On the
advice Of some of the doctors he went
to Colorado last summer, remaining
there several months. The altitude
proved too high for him and other
conditions were not pleasant so he re-
returned to his old home some time
ago and apparently was on the rapid
road to recovery.
DIR. Newbold was one of the assist
ants at the Morristown Memorial Hos
pital, served as a director of the Y. M
G. A. until very recently and was much
interested in the work of st. Peters
Church.

For the first time in the history of
the organization the ensign of the So
ciety Of the Cincinnati in the State of
New Jersey was hoisted over the Laf-
ayette rooms at Washington's Head
quarters on Tuesday. 1t was distinct
ly appropriate for the Oldest Patriotic
Society to meet on the grounds hal
lowed by the presence for a time of the
founder of the order, George Wash
ington. 1t was suggested in the
speeches which followed the banquet,
and we'll received, that Headquarters
be made the permanent meeting place.
1t was The old custom to meet and
form on the village green and, pre-
ceeded by military escort, march to
the town hall or church, where an ora
tion was delivered, then the members
met againor not as it happened to be
the plan for the particular occasion.

Heartily Indorsed at a Public Meeting
Held at the Court House in Nor
rIstown on Wednesday Night.

Heartily Indorsed at a Public Meeting
Held at the Court House in Nor
rIstown on Wednesday Night.
An enthusiastic meeting in the in
terests Of the proposed short line rail-
road from Morrisuown to New York as
made possible by the boring Of the
Montclair tunnel and laying Of tracks
from the Montclair station of the Erie
Railroad through the tunnel to a CON
nection with the present line a mile
east Of Caldwell was held in County
Hall on Wednesday evening. Ex. Judge
Cutler was called to the chair and
Clarence Wood was elected secretary
II. g. Reynolds explained a large map
OF the route, which had been prepared
flor the occasion, and r. w. McEwan
made further explanations of the plan
and the present status Of the road.
The sentiment was allone way. AS
Mayor Reed expressed it. everybody
wants the new and shorter route.
L. v Booraem, Of Essex Fells, was
called upon and told an interesting
story of the growth of the Caldwell
branch. Five years ago it was run
with one engine and a single car. The
! Erie then put on the Fells express,
now a Morfistown train, and made
other additions to the service. The
branch is now Of more Importance to
the Efie than the whole Greenwood
Lake line west of Great Notch Junc-
tion and the business is increasing
faster than on almost any other sec
tion Of the Erie system. New rails
and ballast have been laid but. Mr.
Mi. Booraem declared, the branch Is
pretty near It's capacity and the Erie,
| if it does not start the tunnel. must
naturally make other arrangements to
provide for the increase of traffic. AT
present there are five through trains
to the Fells besides the branch runs
and passengers from points on the
Greenwood Lake line west OF Great
Notch transfer to the Fells express.
Some OF the persons present thought
the merchants should pledge a tonnage
of freight to the Erie to act as a fur
ther inducement for the boring of the
tunnel.
The chairman was empowered to
appoint a committee Of eight to wait
upon the Erie officials, and the meet
ing adjourned subject to thecall of the
chairman.
Judge Cutler appointed the follow
ing gentlemen members Of the COM
mittee to serve with him according to
the resolution Mayor g. A. Reed, R..
p. Foote, A. L. Revere, Geo. e. Voor-
hees, G. W. Ennis, r. II. Hoffman,

Mrs. Grace Ellery Charming StetSon,
the granddaughter of William Ellery
Charming, the famous Unitarian Min
lister and Philosopher, and a sister of
Mrs. Clarence B. Wood of this city, is
the subject of a remarkable and appre-
ciative criticism in the Editors
Study of Harper's Magazine for July.
The Editorial which is Of several
pages says in part A short story which
appeared in American magazine for
May afforded the best example we have
seen Of what is now possible in this
kind Of fiction. 1t occupied less than
five pages Of the Magazine, yet within
the limit of a single situation, it SEEM
ed to us the amplest and at the same
time the most subtle disclosure of vi
tai truth ever compassed within so
brief a sketch. 1t was written by a
woman who in the development Of
heart and mind represents three gem
erations of the finest culture in Amer
lea. Its English was not simply re-
proachless; it was satisfying, having the
positive charm Of sureness and ease
without betraying any Of the defects
of facility"
Mrs. Charming StetSon is the wife Of
the well known American artist Walter
Stetson, and has been living for several
years In Rome.

The meeting Of the Society Of the
Cincinnati in the State of New Jersey
recalls the remark of an English au-
thor travelling in America that in
this society the Americans possessed
a hereditary patent Of nobility.
The society was instituted by Wash
ington and the officers of the Cont
mental line, at the headquarters of
the army on the Hudson River early
in May l7s3 The Society in New
Jersey was organized by General Elias
dayton, commander-in7chief of the
New Jersey troops. who called his
officers together just as they were
leaving Elizabeth-Town for THEN
homes at the close of the Revolution.
This was on June II, 1883 and the so
ciety adjourned to meet July 4th at
Trenton. After that the society met
alternately in Trenton and Eliza
beth-Town until 1884, and since then
in the various cities of the State.
The institution Of the society as
amended by the meeting Of the gen
eral society held at Philadelphia, May
Is, 1884, has never been changed,
Among the principles enunciated as
forming the basis of the society were
these:

recommendation of the board Of en-
gineers the election Of Charles Mar
shall to Humane Steamer, and Alfred
Meeker to the First Ward Hose Co.
were confirmed.
A petition from property owners Of
Wetmore avenue asked that that
thoroaghfare be accepted as city
street from Doughty street to the city
line. The petition was referred TO the
street committee.
A letter from r. D. Foote called the
attention of the board to the Passaic
River Flood Commission and urged
that the aldermen keep a watchful
eve on the matter. Property owners
interested on Mills street objected to
the taking of any'land to widen Mills
street, between Sussex avenue and
Z Cutler street, as requested in a com
munication at the last meeting OF the
board. The remonstrance was refer
red to the street committee.
letter from the Charities Aid AS
sociation asked that steps be taken to
secure a police court in Morristown.
On recommendation Of the finance
committee a note Of S5, 900 was ordered
discounted for six months in anticipa-
tion of taxes
The street committee reported the
collection of SIS from Mr. Riley for the

Aldermen Owens for the police COM
mittee said the police had done very
good work during the month OF june
and. moved that the report OF the
chief be filed. AS has been the Gus

was not read. He also presented the
report of Justice Howard for the
month Of June, showing S111.60 col
lected in fines and costs of which the
town receives $500, stating that it
was a banner record. In concluding
the alderman repeated the statement
that the police had done good work,
but failed to give any particulars and
none of the other members apparently
wereinterested enough to inquire what
had drawn forth such commendation.
Alderman Lippman moved that
John H. Condor be appointed a police
Justice, but made the nomination in
so quiet manner that members had
to ask him to repeat the nomination.
Alderman Owens named Joseph A..
Blanchard. The former was elected
all five Democrats voting for him.
J. w. Melick appeared before the
board and asked that some action be
taken on the petition Of property own
ers on Kenmuir avenue, Milton place
and Hazlett street, asking the accept
ance Of those thoroughfareS- Mr..
Melick said the petition was referred
to the street committee two years ago,
and no action had been taken. 1t was
again referred to the street committee
and Mr.. Melick expressed the hope
that it would not slumber for another
two years.
