sportive but tiresomely fussy dry
goods merchants needed somebody
like this truly inspired genius to
throw them down and put shoes on
them. : Assuming that Tom
LOTUS may be the subject of timely
"reminiscences, it may be recalled that
IN 1878 he was captain of the Peoria
team which beat the famous Cincin-
natl Reds 3 to 1. With Lotus at that
time were Charley Radbourne. Cliff

EPARATlONS ON
Plans for Improvement at the
Watch Tower This Summer
Are Very Extensive.
NEW FEATURES ARE ADDED
Roller Skating Rink to Be an Aitrac-
tion-Changes Are to Be Made
at the Inn Building.

The fine weather which has been
prevailing the last few days acts as
reminder and forecast of the good
old summer time and activities at tie
parks and other amusement places
AT the head of the list of parks comes
the Watch Tower and statements to-
day by Edward Krell of the manage
ment in regard to the coming season
indicate that it is to continue as one
lof the most popular and the best
equipped resorts in this part of the
state. Besides the many features of
last year a large number of new ones
are to be added, and the plans for i'm
provement of the park are very ex-
tensive.
An electric caroussel commonly
known as merry o-round" is to- be
placed just north of the circle swing
1t is to be illuminated with $50 lights
and the passengers can ride three
abreast.
Another feature is to be a roller
skating rink which will be in the form
| of circular race track The runway
will be $50 long and II feet wide. On
| the inside of the course chairs and
benches and minor amusements are
to take up the space. An ornamental
roof over the track with curtains TO
liShtful open air rink. A band has
been engaged to provide music for
the skaters every night
A Ferris Wheel.
A 40-foot Ferris wheel of steel con-
struction is another new feature. The
penny arcade will have an entirely
new set OF pictures and music. A
scenic shooting gallery will take the
place of the old one. A beautiful
background will show birds and squir-
rels and the like and the hunter can
shoot all the game he likes without
killing anything. The ball throwing
games have all been placed under one
| roof. This is to clear the grounds of
the many little stands which formerly
were scattered everywhere.
1t is very probable that the Figure
s will be remodeled so that there will
be more dips in it.
General improvements.
Other things which will improve
| the place, if the present plans are
| completed, are the charging of the
dining veranda; the construction of
number of new walks; the opera
| ton of the fountain; a new dance
floor and possibly the enlargement of
the hall by doing away with the pri-
vate dining rooms on the same floor;
and the addition of a playground for
the children.
The Friday promenades and band
concerts will be feature as in former
years. The baseball field will be open
to. teams during the week and on Sun
| day the regular team will play.
The chutes are to be made ready
| for the rise of the water which will
result when the dam which is being
built, is completed. The view of the
water power and also of the huge
dixie on the island opposite the Tower
is expected to be one of the big at
fractions of this year. Next year in
all probability boat livery will be
added.

MET DEATH BY ACCIDENT
c. L. Carroll Killed In Runaway on
Brooklyn Street Last Friday.


A shocking accident which resulted
in the death of Chester L. Carroll, one of
Morrstown's highly respected citizens,
occurred near the Brooklyn street rail-
road crossing at 1880, last Friday after
noon. Mr. Carroll was starting ont for
his afternoons work and was driving his
pair of work horses attached to hay
rack, across the track when the horses
became frightened by an engine, which
stood near the crossing and started to
run. AS the horses left the track, they
bounded to one side and the wagon struck
against an electric light pole. Mr.. Car
roll, who was standing up driving, was
thrown from the wagon to the pole and
when just above f. M. Ober's residence,
fell to the ground, his neck being broken
by a wheel, which passed over it. And
other bruises were inflicted upon the
head and face. Fred Rogers was the
first to reach Mr.. Carroll, and he saws
life was apparently extinct, when he
reached him. Mr.. Carroll was removed
to the yard of Mr.. ODER and DIR. George
L. Bates was summoned. After leaving
their driver the horses ran to a point
near II. A. Smalley IL Co.'S. buildings
where they were stopped by CAIRO Il
Tenney. Marcus Demeritt, who was in
the wagon when the accident happened,
was not injured and was still in the wag-
on when the horses were stopped.
Chester Leach Carroll was born in
Fairfax, March 10, 1S47, one of seven
children of Joseph B. and Lois Ann
Leach Carroll. When q years of age he
went to work for Joseph d. Page and on
July S, 1868, was united in marriage to a
daughter of his employer. Following
their marriage they resided for fourteen
years in South Stukely, P.Q Returning
to Vermont they resided in Fairfax,
Cambridge and johnson, moving to Nor
ristown 13 years ago, since which time
they resided here continuously, with the
exception of year in Wolcott. Eight
years ago they moved to Morrsvilles1
since which time Mr.. Carroll had been
engaged in teaming. Besides wife, he
is survived by four daughters and one
son, as follows Mrs. W. j, Japan of |
stowe, Mrs. c. G. Farnsworth, Canyon
City, Col; Miss Ethel Carroll, who lives
at home, Mrs. c. r. Lynn of Baltic, Conn,
and Arthur Carroll of Eastman, P. @. |
Also by one brother, Judson B. Carroll |
of Westford and two sisters, Mrs. w. A.
Barrett of st Adams and Mrs J. w. Allen
of Fairfax. The deceased was an honest,
industrious citizen of genial, happy
disposition and had host of friends by
whom he will be greatly missed. In the
home, where he was loving husband
and father, the blow was especially Sc
we're, and the bereaved family have the
deepest sympathy of all.
The funeral was very largely attended
from the home Sunday afternoon, Rev. p.
A. Smith of the M. e. church officiating.
A token of the high esteem in which Mr..
Carroll was held, was an especially large
and beautiful floral offering. Music was
furnished by quartet composed of
Misses Nita and Vida Ellis, F. w. Sillo-
way and Alton Lawson, with ms. Law
