GOLDEN WEDDING DAY
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Teas Celebrate
Fiftieth Anniversary.

One of the most unusual social
events in the city for some time was
the celebration held In honor of the
golden anniversary of the wedding Of
Mr. and Mrs. VIM. Teas, held at their
home on North Market street Tues
day evening. The celebration began
with an elaborate imitation of the
wedding supper served at the time
of their nuptials on August 20, 1857,
in Marion county. The couple have
been residents of this city ever since
their removal from their old home in
Marion county in 1876 and five of
their ten children are yet living. 1t
had been planned to have a complete
reunion at the celebration, but it was
impossible for a few of the relatives
to be present. Eighteen grand-daugh-
tiers are living representatives of the
family and the seven which were
present acted as walters at the deli
cious supper which was served.
Mrs. C. l.. Haskell and daughter, of
Burlington, and Mrs. Fred Hebbel
and two children, of Des Moines,
daughters of the honored couple, were
the out of town guests present, and
the other daughters who were unable
to be present were Mrs. Thos. Malo-
ney of Los Angeles. Mrs. Ella Call of
st. Paul, and Mrs. Will C. Hutchinson
of New Orleans. Among the many
appropriate and useful presents which
added to the joy of the parents at
the happy celebration were $50 in
gold from their children. The affair
was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

drowned in the creek, In addition to
running the harness and damaging the
buggy. They ask damages of $500 as

gerous condition of the bridge.

coal plies subiect to raxes.

By decision of Justice Fort in the
Supreme Court Monday, the coal car
rying roads may not make a storage
ground of this State unless they pay
sufficient taxes. The decision sus-
tanned the tax levied by the Borough
of Junction on coal belonging to the
Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Com
pany and stored In that place. The
opinion says: Coal shipped from the
State of Pennsylvania and stored in
this State to await orders for sale,
and then to be transhipped TO custo-
mers purchasing after such storge, is
not in interstate commerce and is tax
able at, the place of storage here. y
This means that the great piles along
the Lackawanna, Reading and other
roads can be taxed as personal prop
erty.

THE SEWER DISPOSAL PLANT.
The Reasons Given for Retaining it
in the Original Locality.

The Reasons Given for Retaining it
in the Original Locality.
/ The board of sewerage has adopted
resolution directed to George g..
FreIinghuysen, the representatives of
the Morristown School and others.
stating that the board has Investigate
ed the request to move the disposal
plant to the Hid farm. and stating
that it will be impossible to build the
sewers and all other work contem-
plated in its report as accepted by the
board of aldermen, in substantial COM
pliance with the same, if the disposal
plant was to be located on the Hid
farm on the site proposed, and that
such change would add not less than
$4,000 to the authorized cost, and be-
cause they cannot under the terms ac-
cepted by the voters at the special
election, make any substantial modi-
fications in the plan submitted or ex-
coed the estimated cost, and therefore
the board declines to change the loca-
tiou.
Attached to the resolution was a
report from the engineers, Williams,
Proctor 81 Potts, stating that it would
require 1875 feet of twenty-four inch
pipe additional to reach the Hid site,
the line including an inverted siphon
1920 feet long to cross the creek, that
the 10000 yards of sand must be haul
ed one and quarter miles further,
and two railroad crossings be required.
They estimate the extra cost at S70,-
900, not including the cost of the farm
or right of way, and call attention to
the extra cost of maintaining the ex-
| ira sewer and the fact that 600 feet of
outfall sewer would be necessary to
drain the beds.
The engineers further state that
they considered the farm before the
report, but the absence of sand in the
locality prevented recommendation
for its adoption. A site on the Hid
farm would De suitable for Sc dimenta
tion tanks and intermittent sand i'll
tiers, if the soil were such that it could
be used for sand beds with proper
under drains. They did not believe
| the site was suited for contact beds
and filters such as designed for the
site recommended and if chosen, the
plan would have to be redesigned, and
changed to sedimentation tank and
sand filters
Attached was map showing that
at Newton, where the plant is sedi-
mentation tanks and sand filters,
nearly all the public and semi public
buildings are within 5000 feet of the
plant. In conclusion they affirmed
that the site on the Pruden s. Burke
tract is the most suitable and logical
site.

I7lO---19lO.
Two-Hundredth Anniversary of Mor-
ristown's settlement.

FtsLOWnfS settlement.
Morristown was permanently settled
by the whites in the year ITO. The
year 1910 therefore, will be the two
hundredth anniversary Of this event
in local annals.
An event of such great interest,
should, as it seems to me, be suitably
celebrated by the people Of this his
toric town.
If such celebration is to be held, it
may be desirable to call, in the near
future, a public meeting, in which the
initial steps shall be taken toward the
end suggested.
Yours respectfully,

A barn belonging to Morey W.
Grant, located on Center street and
the Whippany river, caught fire or
Saturday afternoon and was entirely
consumed. The chemical engine and
truck and later the Washington hose
carriage went to the scene, but no
general alarm was sounded. A few
minutes before the fire broke out two
boys were seen at the barn and it is
supposed accidently set it on fire. A
horse and wagon belonging to the
Mercantile Cooperative Co., were res
cued with some difficulty, but two
sets of harness, feed and stable tools
were burned. The Cooperative Co
had $l75 insurance on the horse and
contents of the stable.
