SEWER NOTES.

Sewer Contractor Costa has been
having his own troubles on Wetmore
avenue. The trench was started at
the low point in the street. Trouble
was soon experienced in quick sand
and muck underlying. 1t took over
two hours on Saturday to lay two
lengths of pipe. Work was stopped on
account of the pouring in of water and
workmen were started on Monday dig
ging a twelve foot well to drain the
ditch and afford a suction chamber for
a pump. The other gangs on the street
had better success and the ditch was
continued on DeHart street to the end
of the ejector system then gang was
put at work on Macculloch avenue.
The force on Speedwell avenue was re-
duced to small gang at work on the
rock cut where blasting was required.

Morristown residents will probably
be treated to a lecture within the
next week by a remarkable women,
Madame Charlotte D'Goliere Daven-
port. Mrs. Davenport is spending a
part of her vacation season in this
part Of the State and is using her
time to spread her ideas of progress in
hygienics, giving her addresses with
out any hope of reward except in the
gratitude of those who may be helped
by her. She is remarkable woman
and although seventy-eight years Of

Oldest of whom is sixty-one years, has
the appearance of woman of fifty
and the energy of one of half that
number. Her travels have been world
wide and her press notices show ad-
dresses before prominent bodies in all
parts of the country. She is Rus
sian by birth, but spent much Of her
youth in Switzerland and only came
to this country for any protraJed stay
in what most people would consider
the time of old age. She ascribes her
remarkable health to the system which
she has worked out for proper living.

NEW BOAT In COMMISSION
The ssUncle Dam Put on Hopatcong by
Bertrand Island syndicate.

The ssUncle Dam Put on Hopatcong by
Bertrand Island Syndicate.
The Bertrand Island Syndicate,
which few months ago bought Ber-
trand's island and is building new
railroad along the east shore of Lake
Hopatcong, will.put its first boat on
the lake this week. This boat will be
named the Uncle Dan, after State
Treasurer Daniel S. Voorhees,, who is
a member Of the syndicate. Two sis
ter boats, the "Richard j." and the
s'Allen B., will be added as soon as
they are completed. These boats will
be the largest and best equipped
steamers on the lake. They will car
ry uniformed crews and will make
regular excursion trips about the lake.
It had been the plan of the syndi-
cate not to put these boats in service
until another season, but owing to
fact that the White Boat line was not
licensed this year, and one of the
Black line boats and one of Captain
Decker's we're out Of commission, the
boat service was badly crippled, and
the completion of the new boats was
hastened to relieve the congested con-
dition of steamboat traffic.

RAILROAD NOTES.

| Several new and interesting develop
ments have appeared during the week
in regard to the Lackawanna railroads IS
abolishment of grade crossings and
the consultations of the East Orange
and Brick Church stations.
One is the fact that the company
has decided not to spend the money at
the present time for abolishing the
crossings. The project is apparently
off, for the time being at least.
The other is that notices have been
issued during the last few days to the
tenants of several houses in the vicin-
ity of Burnett street and the railroad
tracks to move out by August 1st. The
people who have received the notices
reside on property which the Lacka-
wanna has purchased for the purpose
of erecting a new station, which will
probably mean the abolishment of the
Brick Church and East Orange sta
tionS.
The sending out of the notices came
as surprise to those occupying the
houses as it had not been believed that
the Lackawanna would make move
towards the erection of the proposed
stationl for while. However, it is
said the company may not start work
on the depot yet, but will simply take
possession of it's property to be in a
position to start when it wishes.
A plan the city officials have been
quietly considering to prevent the
change is to compel the trains to pass
through the city at greatly reduced
speed ard stop at the junction" cross
ing near Arlington avenue, where the
railroad and trolley tracks meet.

American Mechanics Phase Decided.
A decision has been filed here by
Vice Chancellor Henry G. Pitney, re-
tired, in the suit of the State Council
of the Junior Order of the United
American Mechanics against Enter
prise Council, of Trenton, and Holly
wood Council, of Long Branch, in
which he finds that the two councils
must turn over to the State Council
all property in the form Of books, rec
ords, money, etc.
This is one of the last phases of the
fight in this State between the Nation
al Council and the State Council for
control of the subordinate councils of
New Jersey. In the main suit the
court decided that the National Coun-
Gil had no standing in New Jersey.
When the State Council broke away
from the National Council, Enterprise
and Hollywood Councils went over to
the National body, and consequently
the State Council has not been recog-
nized by them. After the decision in
the main case, the State Council OBJ
tained an order from Vice-Chancellor
Pitney before his retirement from the
bench, restraining the two councils
from disposing Of any of their prop
erty. The injunction continued until
the determination of this suit for pos
session of the property of the two or
ganizations.

can't shut or Library's water.

The Montclair Water Go. has been
enjoined from shutting off the water
supply from the Montclair Free Pub
lie Library by Vice Chancellor Stew
ems. When the agreement was enter
ed into between the water company
and the town a clause was inserted
whereby the former agreed to furnish
water free Of charge to all public
buildings. A bill was recently pre-
sented to the town for water supplied
to the library, the company claiming
that institution is not public build
ing in the sense of the contract. The
water company threatened to cut off
the supply unless the bill was paid,
and the town attorney appealed to
the Vice Chancellor to prevent such
action.

FATAL AUTO
ACCIDENT
Chapman Ropes Seriously In
jured in a Head-on Coils
ion at Brooklyn.
THE OTHER DRIVER KILLED

Chapman Ropes was seriously in
jured on the Ocean Parkway between
Brooklyn and Coney Island early
Thursday morning in collision with
a machine driven by T. f. Donovan,
of New York. The only eyewitness
Of the accident, William Satter, chauf-
feur for Billy" Shields, the horse
man, who had just taken his employer
out to the Gravesend track, says that
Donovan did not have his lamps
| lighted.
Satter watched the car shoot by like
"a black streak as he says, and then
heard the crash. The car had struck
Ropes 40-horsepower Packard head
on just beyond Kings Highway. Sat-
ter ran to the spot and found both
machines demolished and two men
unconscious in the road. Cayanaugh,
who was with Ropes, was thrown
twenty feet in the air and struck in
the middle of the roadway.
Ropes was lying near him, but had
been caught by the steering gear of
his machine and was more seriously
injured. Donovan was pinned to the
seat of his car by the driving wheel,
which had been bent inward by the
force OF the collision. Satter had to
summon assistance before he could be
extricated. The body Of Ropes's car
was knocked completely off the rum
ming gear and thrown fifteen feet
away into the gutter. An ambulance
was summoned from the Reception
Hospital and Ropes and Donovan
taken there with all possible haste.
Donovan died an hour later without
recovering consciousness.
1t was reported at first that Mr..
Ropes would die from the result of
his injuries. Physicians later stated
that he would probably recover.
He told the following story of the
accidents:
In company with Francis B. Cav
anaugh, of Boise City, Idaho, l left
Manhattan Beach early in the even
ing for a ride to Coney Island. We
went direct to Coney Island. When
we started back / thought would
take little run up to the boulevard.
We rode up Ocean Parkway as far as
Prospect Park and then turned to
come back.
"On the way back one of the shoes
on the rear wheels came off and we
had to stop to put on another one.
We were there in the roadway nearly
an hour.
We had only gone short distance
when suddenly an automobile loomed
up directly in front of US. can't say
for certainty whether there were
any lights on the other machine.
Before l could stop or turn to one
side the machine was on US and there
was crash. / recovered conscious
ness in the hospital"
After an examination it was found
that Mr. Ropes had received a con-
cussion of the brain his right shoul-
der was broken and he was badly
bruised
