MAsONS To LAY
THE CORNERSTONE
Local Lodge Has Been Invited TO Con-
duct the Ceremonies.
SEVERAL ELOQUENT SPEAKERS
Ample Preparations Will Be Made to
Take the Ceremonies Appropriate
to the Laying of the Cornerstone
OF the New Temple of Justice.

The building committee of the new
court house appeared before the County
Commissioners Tuesday, and asked that
the Oakland Lodge of Ancient, Free
and Accepted Masons be invited to con-
duct the ceremonies of laying the cor
ner stone of the new temple of justice
now in course of construction at Oak
land. The commissioners readily coin
cided with the request, giving the or
ganization the honor of, conducting the
ceremony.
The Masons met the same evening
and accepted the invitation. Plans are
now being formulated by the local lodge
whereby many organizations and noted
and eloquent speakers will be asked to
take part in the exercises. The aim
will be to make them of such charac-
ter that they will not soon be forgotten,
and so that they will reflect credit upon
our county to those visiting Masons,
to those members of other organizations
VINO are present, and to the visiting
orators who will be present when the
ceremonies are conducted, which will
take place in about one month.
In the corner stone which will be laid,
there will be placed valuable records of
Garrett county, of current events,
many newspapers, records of the corner
stone laying, and accurate biographies
of those men who are building the new
court house, as well as of the men who
have made the edifce possible Such
records will be exceedingly valuable to
future generations, should the building
ever be torn down or destroyed. The
papers and all such records always keep
well preserved in corner stones.

MORRIsToWN, for the first fine since
1898, has complete Republican ad-
ministration with the exception of
town assessor and treasurer 1.-The for
mer's term not expiring and the latter
holding over for the time being at the
pleasure of the board of aldermen.
Mayor Bennell, on Friday evening
read a message taking up the condi-
tion of affairs in Morristown and made
pertinent suggestions. From the per-
sonnet of the members, of the board
and the makeup of the committees it
is safe to predict that the important
issues prominent in the last election
will receive their due attention. The
officers appointed while not holding
public office previously are all active
young business men, standing well in
their several callings, of good repute in
the community for honesty and integ-
rity, well qualified to perform the du-
ties Of the positions to which they
are appointed, and, we are pleased to
note, active workers in the Republican
cause. The new officials will natural
ly bring enthusiasm and new zeal into
the town affairs which will inure to
the general welfare.

The communication from Mr.. CHS
ohm in another column treats of a mat
ter of Importance to the citizens of
Morristown. The only remedy in the
case is the compelling Of the railroad
company to maintain gates at the
crossing or do away with the crossing
entirely. A recent decision of the
courts IN case similar to that of
young Canister hurt on Tuesday even
ing was that the plaintiff was not en-
titled to damages because of contribu
tory neglgence--ruling that it was his
duty TO see that the tracks were clear
before attempting to cross.

Fireman Safe In Ruins.

New York, Jan. S-After living
burial under tons of paper and broken
beams, John Siefert, a fireman, was
found by his comrades alive and
hearty twenty-four hours after they
had supposed he had gone to death in
the ruins of the paper stock ware
house in Roosevelt street, which fell
on him and two other firemen when
they were fighting fire. OF the
others one has been taken out dead
and no hope is entertained that the
third man, Daniel J. C.~1pbell, lived
after the crash came.

FINANCIAL PROSPERITY.
Morris County's Financial Institu-
lions Show Substantial Gains.

Morris County's Financial Institu-
tions Show Substantial Gains.
1t is generally conceded that the
prosperity of a community can be
judged by the business of its banks
and other financial institutions From
this standpoint it would appear that
Morris county has had prosperous
year in 1906, just closed. The finan-
cial institutions of the county have
enjoyed deservedly the confidence of
the people of the community and at
present are on the high tide of pros
perity.
The National Iron Bank. at the
close of business December 31st, 1905,
reports resources of 81, $3.50, 400. 80, with
deposits of $1,209, 033.50. The direc-
tors have decided to pay interest after
the first of January at the rate of
three per cent. on daily balances.
The last report of the First Ma
tional Bank, made November 18th,
shows resources of SO, 220, 342.64, with
deposits of $2,762, 606.92, which have
increased since to some extent. The
capital stock of this bank is 100000,
the surplus 100000 while the undiy-
ided profits are about $l98,000.
The Morristown Trust Company re-
ports resources Of $S,506,6ll.71 and
deposits of S6,418,3 o3.32. This insti-
tuition is forging ahead rapidly and
will be near the $4,000, 900 class by
the end OF the present year.
The Morris County Sayings Bank
enjoyed the most prosperous year in
it's history in 1906. Its assets are 49,
100000, and deposits $2,853,943.89, an
increase during the year of 1854, 1861
The largest of any year in its history.
The Bank has invested about S350,0C
on bond and mortgage during the year
and paid to depositors in dividends
nearly 100000, handling over 81, 0G0,-
600 This volume OF business is re-
markable, in view of the fact that
similar institutions in this section of
this country have fallen behind dur
ing this period.
From these reports it will be seen
that in MorristoWn there is S13, 244, 900
on deposit in the banks, much of
which is drawing interest at the rate
OF three per cent.
In addition to this the Morristown
Building and Loan Association has re-
sources OF over 100000 and takes in
about $4,000 a month. A conserva-
tive estimate fixes the amount paid
for insurance to the several benevolent
and fraternal organizations at about
$4,000 month.
The First National Bank of Madison,
with $50, 900 capital stock and S22, 900
surplus, reports resources of S405, $3.50
and deposits OF 1905, 1889.

WH1nE in accord with the somewhat

WHILE in accord with the somewhat
general sentiment that politics should
not be allowed to interfere with the
management of the fire department,
we submit that the laudable ambition
of many of its members to serve on the
board of engineers is healthy sign
and tends TO increase the efficiency OF
the department. The excellent record
for faithful and efficient service of the
retiring board of engineers will incite
the new board to greater efforts along
the same line, and as the new appoin-
tees are all especially we'll qualified for
their positions the political part in
their appointment will count for little.
There is always more or less talk when
appointments are made but as the fire.
men themselves have never made a
concerted effort to have the system of
appointment changed it must be sat-
isfactory in the main.

WHENEVER disappointed office
seeker in the upper part Of the county
takes to the woods you can count on
some wonderful emanation from the
Hackettstown Gazette " office. This
is the latest:
Morristown has Republican Board
of Alderman, and it is a significant
fact that Edward A. Quayle the he'll
apparent to every good thing the
Democrats of Morris have had to be-
stow in years, is the only Democratic
office-holder, whose term had expired,
whom the Republicans did not kick
out 1t will be remembered that Mr..
Quayle was the nominee of the Demo-
cratic party for Assembly last fall, was
present at the convention that did him
enthusiastic honor, and a few days lat
er announced his determination not to
run. The fact that Quayle and Gillen
could have won was generally accepted
and the Republican machine was in
panic. They were strenuous days that
led up to Quayle's retirement, and
broken and hopeless the Democracy
of Morris entered the contest to main
tain their organization. Ingratitude
is always a weakness; sometimes a
crime.
While Mr.. Quayle was called upon
to serve the town of Morristown some
eight or ten years without compensa-
ton, and holding the position of post
master for four years, we do not recall
any fayors he has received from the
Democratic party until a few years
ago when the finances of the town
were in dreadfully muddled state he
was induced to take the town treas
urership and straighten them out.
There have been a number Of posi-
tions to which, he could have been
elected but he gave way TO others.
So far as the last election was con-
cerned, as was stated at the time, Mr..
Quayle could not have been candi-
date without serious detriment to the
interests of the people of Morris coun-
ty, owing to his position on the tax
board. And in the light of the results
it is absurd for anyone to say that he
or any other Democrat could have car
ried the county last fall.

The large increase in the number Of
fatal railroad accidents is alarming
and the Interstate commerce COM
mission is investigating the matter.
Experts for the commission have some
startling reports. They say the block
system rules are fagrantly violated in
order to do more business at the ex-
pense of safety that oyerworked and
underpaid men are placed at the
towers to signal trains; that Excess
Sively long hours for these men, dis
comforts of their way of living while
performing their duties and the low
quality of service that can be secured
for the wages paid combine to nullify
the benefits that ought to be derived
from rigid enforcement of the block
system. The ineffective enforcemeat
Of the rules of the block system seems,
according to the statistics gathered
by the commission, to have increased
rather than diminished railroad acct
dents. The safety appliance law was
enacted ia 1898, but did not go into
full operation until 1900. According
to the commissions figures in 1895 one
passenger in every 1884, 900 carried in
the United States was killed, and one
in every $4,000 was injured. In 1904,
after the safety appliance had been in
full effect four years, one passenger in
every 1922, 900 carried in the United
States was killed, and one in $4,000
was injured.
