OBITUARY.
HERBERT EARI, eooDIsoN.


Herbert Earl Goodison, formerly of
st. Johns Place, Brooklyn, died at
Memorial Hospital on Wednesday
last. For twenty-five years he. was
connected with the publishing house
of Harper & Brothers, New York, and
for several years was at the head Of
the manufacturing department.
He was skilled artist, and some of
the finest work ever produced by that
well known establishment was pub
lished under his superintendent. Be-
sides he was man of excellent char
acter. with no enemies and many
warm friends.
Mr.. Goodison realized that he was
carrying heavy burden, for a young
mar, and his life no doubt was short.
ened by his untiring efforts to merit
the confidence which was placed in
him, for his health failed about three
years ago and he was obliged to give
up his position, but Col. George
Harvey, the present head of the
house, in appreciation of his valuable
services, left nothing undone that
might restore him to health or add to
his comfort.
Mr.. Goodison was member of
Crawford Council, Royal Arcanum,
No. 1869, and James Rodgers, Grand
Regent OF the State of New Jersey,
and Jerome j. Latour, assistant treas
urer of Harper and Brothers were in
town yesterday to look after some de-
tails in connection with the order.
He leaves a wife, who was formerly
Miss Harriet Potter, and little son,
Earl, eight years of age.
Funeral services were held in the
lecture room of the South st. Presley
terrain church, on Saturday, at p. M.
and interment was made in the Charles
Harper family cemetery at Convent.

vicinity. On Sunday afternoon he
spoke in the Lycenm to men, his sub
ject being 'sThe Battle of the Strong, 2
at which time he told of the progress
in the building of Y. M. G. A. build
ings about the country, showing many
examples of successful buildings on the
screens. On Sunday evening a confer

The constitutionality of the rail-
road tax law of 1906. commonly
known as the Perkins act, which re-
vised the method of assessing main
stem property, is to be passed on by
the Supreme Court within the next
few weeks. Co1nsel representing the
various railroad corporations affected
by the law having secured from Chief
Justice Gummere, a writ of certiorari
to have the legality Of the provisions
of the statute reviewed and judicially
determined. Arrangements have
been made to have the questions at
issue settled before the Legislature
adjOurnS sine die so that in the event
the act is found to be defective In any
respect remedial legislation may be
enacted.
The railroads, by an arrangement
with Encouragement McCarter, will
pay Immediately their main stem tax
at the rate of SIS per $1,000 of valua-
tiOn on the assessments made by the
State Board of Assessors, instead of
paying at the rate of $l8.0l per $1,000,
as provided for by the act in ques-
tion. There is to be a speedy tefmi-
nation of the matter for the further
reason that the revenue for the school
funds is involved. If the act is de-
cided as unconstitutional, 1T will
mean a loss of 81, $40, 900 for the sup
port of public schools, that sum re-
presenting the difference in the tax
Of SIS per 81 900, the rate fixed by the
old law, and SlS.0l, the rate provided
by the Perkins act.
The railroads base their objection
to the Perkins act on tine contention
that it is violation of the prohibit
tion of the State Constitution, which
provides that property shall be taxed
according to law under uniform rules.
1t is asserted by the railroads that the
act of 1906 intrudes on the tax law Of
1884 and violates the theory held in
the latter act that all railrdad pro-
perty shall be assessed because of its
use. and the State Board no longer
assessed all railroad property used
for certain purposes, but only parts of
it,

BOWLING NOTES.

Chatham assumed the lead in the
Lackawanna Bowling League last
week, winning five of the six games it
rolled, thereby passing the Orange
Valley Lyceum team, which won only
one of its six. The new leaders have
an advantage of two games.
Hollywood, with a postponed series
yet TO roll with Orange A. A., is hold
ing third position, leading Tapkaow
by good margin.
The individual race is little closer
thru it was. Herbert Grinsted, of
Orange A. A., is still the leader, his
mark of 1916 being an admirable
showing. Fred Bardon, of Madison,
is second with 176.16, with "Doc'
Ford, Of Hollywood, point below
him.
The team average situation was in
teresting last week. Chatham piled
up gigantic totals on Monday and
passed Orange A. A, which encount-
cred slump. Then Chatham hit the
Tapkaow alleys poorly, and Orange
did the big total act and regained, the
average honors on Thursday night.
Oranges mark is 837.37, while Chat
has 834.12. The team high score was
threatened several times during the
week, but Oranges 96l still remain
ing good. The work, team and indi-
vidual, OF the league is shown in the
following table:

THE Department of Agriculture es-
Inmates our cereal crop for the current
year at approximately five billion
bushels This includes corn, wheat,
rye, oats, barley, fiaxseed, buckwheat
and rice, Its production involved the
cultivation of nearly 100000 square
miles of land. The value of the pro-
duct is about 81, ZOO, 100000. 1t would
take all the gold we have dug in thirty
years TO pay for this single years crop
of cereals. In the circumstances it is
scarcely cause for astonishment that
shortage of car transportation should
exist at the Northwest.

RAILROAD NOTES.

A locomotive running away from a
train and continuing for several miles
before the engineer learned that he
had lost his train seems hardly posi-
BILE on modern railroad but is the
report of an affair on the Lackawanna
last week. On Wednesday afternoon
engineer Isl" Armstrong, of Mont
clair, was assigned an old engine
while his regular locomotive had some
work done on it. He looked it over
and saw that the main parts were in
shape then backed down to his train
waiting in the she'd. Then it was
found that the signal whistle was out
of commission, there were no air
brakes on the drivers and the brakes
on the tank were not up to scratch.
Neither were there any guard chains
to attach to the first car. The case
was reported but the word came to
go on and on the engineer went. Steam
commenced to run down and entering
the tunnel he was watching the fire.
men in his efforts to get it back and
failed to notice that the coupling had
loosened and the hose connections
pulled out. When Harrison was in
sight Armstrong applied the air but
as there was no responding checking
of speed as he expected from the air
brakes on the cars, he looked back
and found that he had lost the train.
The engine was stopped as soon as
possible and the train was found in
the tunnel. Engineer Armstrong has
been laid off.

The Lackawanna has a gang of men
at work patching up the cracks in the
walls of the main waiting room prepar-
atory it is supposed to giving them a
coat of paint or kalsomine. The i'm.
provement IS needed as the walls are
at present in a very unsightlY condi-
tion. Another thing that needs regu-
lating is the prevelant practice OF
smoking in the waiting room On. a
recent cold afternoon there were six
pipes and cigars sending out clouds Of
smoke while the ladies walked up and
down on the platform to keep warm.
1t would be an easy matter to cut a
door from the waiting room to the
smoking room and close the outside
doors of the latter as the smoking
room has hardly been pleasant place
under past conditions.

Chief Engineer Lincoln Bush of the
Lackawanna has agin made the state
ment that the Morris g. Essex Divi-
sion including the Montclair branch
is to be electrified and run by the
third rail system. He states that
from twenty minutes to half hour
or more will be cut Off the running
time between Morristown and New
York. The announcement is quail
fed by the further statement that
the electritication will not take place
until the grade crossings are elimi-
mated, putting off hopes for faster
time to some remote period. During
the past five years the Roseville cut
has been made and the elevation
through Newark and Harrison and al
so the cut has been finished at Summit.
There remains even more work to be
done than has been finished before the
grade crossings disappear The last
rumor regarding changes about Norris
town was to the effect that cut is to
be made at Convent station running
out to the present grade at the Punch
Bowl Hollow road.
