| JOHN w. WICKER.
ran his candy shop on the corner
which is now occupied by W p.
Smith.
"John W. Wicker, the printer, was
born October "a, 1S47. Twenty years
later he began the printers trade on
the Progressive Age, which at that
time was published by R. H. Greneker.
Later he became connected with the
Newberry Herald published by Thos'
F. Greneker and has been with the
office continuously since. He entered
the Confederate Army in the boy
company, known as Company A, of
which ". H. Holman was Captain,
in April 1864 and served with his
company until the close Of the war"
In his cottage home in Cline street
where he had lived for several years
by himself, on Saturday night, just
as a new Sabbath day was being ush-
cred in, at a quarter past II o'clock,
his soul passed quietly ard peaceful
ly into the great beyond. He was
tended during the watches OF the
night by a son of the editor Of The
Herald and News, Jas. L. Aull and
fellow employe of the office, Ira
Sigh. After he became worse some
ten days ago a negro man was en-
ployed to attend him and be too was
present. The end was as child
falling On sleep.
The neighbors of the community
had been kind to him and had con-
stantly sent him such delicacies as
they thought he would relish and no
one could have appreciated these at
tentions more. He often spoke to Us
about the kindness Of the ladies who
lived near his cottage home.
Upon his return from the reunion
in Columbia he had a severe cold and
grew gradually worse. Some three
or four weeks ago we told him ne
had better not try to work, that he
could remain out of the Office and
his pay would be continued though
small and his reply was that he did
not see how we could get along with
out his help and as long as he was
able he insisted on coming to do what
he could to help the work along:
He was faithful and true to the
Office and during the twenty years
we have been in charge he was always
willing to do cheerfully what he
could and to do it without complain
ing. - :.
He has never for forty: years work
ed in any other office and we do not
think it ever entered his mind; to try
to get work any where else. He was
not an expert workman and he was
not swift, but unless he. was sick you
could always count on him to do the
best he could and what more can
anyone do.
He was not confined to his bed and
was conscious to the last moment.
DR.. J. A. Meldau was very atten-
tive to him during his last days and
gave him what relief he could.
The Revs. G. A. Wright and A. Il.
Best spent several hours with him on
Saturday. Many years ago he joined
the Methodist church. His father, Mr..
A. M. Wicker, was an ardent Meth
odist. and took an active interest in
all church matters. He died in No:
vember, 1875. His mother died a
short time after, leaving him and one
sister. Mamie. She still survives.
His body was buried beside his
mother in Rosemont Sunday after
noon. The services were conducted
at the grave by the Rev Geo. A.
Wright Of the Baptist church.
Many beautiful flowers were plac-
ed upon his grave and many friends
paid their last tribute to his memory.

Tax Board Act in
The Supreme Court.

The supreme court has granted Ea-
tontown townships application for a
writ of certiorari to review the pro-
ceedings of the Monmouth county
board of equalization of taxes in re
ducing the assessment of the Mon
mouth County Electric company from
$25, 900 to $l2, $40 without first giving
the township an opportunity to be
heard.
The argument before the supreme
court was made by Mr.. Steen, and
that body promptly granted the writ
OF certiorari.
Township Assessor Riddle fixed the
assessment on the trolley company's
property within the township. The
tax board, the township alleges, grant
ed the trolley authorities hearing on
an application fora reduction without
giving the township an opportunity
10 oppose the reduction.
The proceedings of the tax board ct
the meeting in question will be. re-
viewed. and an effort will be made by
township counsel to have them set
aside.

the line of good roads between Mid
dlesex and Monmouth counties. Mr..

Mr.. Polhemus was authorized to
have survey made of the road from

Mr.. Fisher was authorized to have
the Colts Neck and linton Falls road
surveyed. He was also authorized
10 straighten the road If necessary,
and purchase the plot of land now
owned by the road contractors and
other owners in order TO do this.
Counsel Wainright said in regard
to the application of Geo. E. Walling
to allow him to erect poles along the
county road for 800 feet to his resi-
dence, reported that perhaps it would
be as well for him to give an indem-
nifying bond to the county in case of
accident from the poles or wires.
Lawyer Snyder said the poles were
an extension of the Atlantic High
lands Electric Light system to be
Duilb ny MI. WdillhS. lno electrlC
system was owned by the borough
and they had agreed to furnish him
with light if he would erect his own
line.
1t was the opinion of the Board
that no bond should be required as
the line to be erected was no more
dangerous than a telegraph or tele-
phone line and consent was granted.
Supervisor Morris reported that
George Burch, had his horse injured
at the Keyport draw-bridge and had
reported the damage to him.
No action was taken in the matter.

GATES is TO FOLLOW
THE CROKER
Sells Stable, and With Boots -
Durnell, Goes to England.

SARATOGA, N. Y, August H.
John W. Gates is to make his future
home in England, where, like Richard
Croker, he will live the life of a
country squire, with a large racing
establishment to give play to his love
of the sport and speculation.
This is the true meaning of the
sale at public auction on the 10th of
the stable of Boots" Durneu, in
realty the property of Gates, and the
coming departure of that astute horse
man for the other side. When Gates
and his son, Charles G., sailed away
several days ago the elder Gates was
in no humor for a discussion of his
plans. Charles announced that the
odd man was grouchy because he
had to get up too early"
The crouch, however, was of lon
ger standing than the mornings in
terruption of his beauty sleep, and
his plans for making his future home
in England were fully worked out,
so that short cablegram from Liver
pool on his arrival there was enough
to settle his. only remaining interest
in this country not definitely fixed
prior to his departure.
