An Important Law Suit.

Tomorrow is the day that the hearing
will be had before Judge Reiter as to
why the city should not remove the OBJ
structions on Washington street, made
by the Gary & Western, the Michigan
Central and the Pennsylvania. The
case today is one of the most important
that has involved the city for several
months. 1t is thought that If these
who are backing the attempt to have
the distractions removed fail in the
superior court, that they will appeal 1t
to the supreme court, and that If they
are successful other parallel streets to
Washington will compel the same ac-
ton.

Man Who Threatened Judges Makes
Rope OF Bedding and Fiees.
James e. Fitzsimmons, of Newark,
escaped Sunday night from the state
hospital for insane at Morris Plains.
He made screw driver from piece
OF tin which formed the top of har-
monica. With this he took out all the
screws of window guard Then he
tore his bed built into strips and
formed a rope, on which he slid two
stories to the ground.

TROLLEY FOR
CHRISTMAS?
Work on the Line from Morris
town to Morris Plains May
Be Finished by Then.
SLOW PROGRESS AT DENvILLE

From present indications it is be-
lieved that Morristown will have the
trolley for its Christmas present. The
officials of the Norris County Traction
Go. and Contractor Eney Grupelli
think that with good weather the line
between Morristown and Morris Plains
should be completed and in operation
by the last Of this month.
Contractor GrupelIi has about 1,5OO
feet of track to lay to connect the two
sections at Morris Plains. The line
from police headquarters to Raymond's
lane is finished On the other section
the tracks are laid from the State
Hospital switch, just aboye the Nor
ris Plains railroad station. to a
short distance below the Morris
Plains school, Excavation has been
made nearly TO Five Corners. On this
section the tracks are ballasted with
crushed stone nearly as far as laid.
The poles for the wires are Of wood
with conical tops and have been set as
far as William Fl. Thompson's resi-
dence.
So far as the running of it's cars to
the State Hospital over the Lacka-
wanna switch from Morris Plains the
traction company has not yet taken the
matter up with the authorities. There
have been some individuals connected
with the hospital who have discussed
the matter unotficially with the trolley
company but nothing definite has yet
been done in the matter. Before the
trolley company could run its cars
over this line it would be necessary to
get some legislation giving it the au-
tnority.
Slow progress is being made on the
section OF the road at Denville.
The company has the road now in
operation to point within about
half-mile from the GARNER inn at Dem
vile. Tracks are now laid from the
brook just this side of the inn through
the viaduct at Denyille and on short
distance toward Mount Tabor Work
has been held up on the connecting
| link by controversy between the COM
pany and John Sickle, who owns
about half the property on one side Of
the road and it is necessary for the
tracks to pass his property.
For about quarter-mile the tracks
are on-a private rlght-of-way, branch
ing of from the main road at the Den
brook bridge and going across the
property of Joseph Hinchman. On
this private right.of-way will be made
the connection with the Boonton
branch of the trolley and street will
be opened from a station to be built
there to the main road at the inn.
! No definite arrangement has yet
been made for power though negotia-
tions are pending between the trac-
tlon and the Morris & Somerset Elec-
trio Go.

could be. 1t was appreciated by the
