Another Bar n Fire.

The barn on the Baird place near the
brick school house owned and occupied
by Joseph M. Brown who took posses
sion on July first was destroyed by a
fire which was discovered about four
O'Clock on Wednesday morning. The
barn and other out buildings were en-
tirely consumed together with an auto
mobile and the grain and hay in the
building. The livestock was rescued.
Charles Mattox worked the farm on
shares and shares in the loss of the
farm products.
Mr.. Brown had the barn and con-
tents insured for $1,000 and his auto
mobile for the same sum. The loss
will approximate $1,000.
1t is supposed that the fire was the
work Of incendiaries. The barn had
been used as lodging place for trampS
for some time past and after the crops
were gathered Mr.. Brown closed uI
the main portion of the structure but
left the carriage room door unfastened
A whiskey bottle found outside the
door adds to the belief that the fire
was deliberately set.

STABBED in THE FACE.

Nicholas Marfnaro Assaulted While
Returning Home Thursday Evening.
Nicholas Marinaro was badly cut in
the face last night by some Italian
who has not as yet been found, al
though the victim gave a good de-
Scription. Mr.. Marinaro was proceed
ing home3 from the celebration on
Flagler street and when above Cutler
street saw a man standing by a tree,
After be passed, the man ran out and
cut Mr. Marinaro with a razor or
sharp knife, inf1icting wound which
extended from his mouth around url-
der his ear, a distance in all Of about
six inches. Fortunately the man cut
too high, the jaw bone and skull pre-
venting the weapon from cutting any
vital part.
Mr.. Marinaro called George SAMSON,
whose house he was near, and the lat
ter and w. N. Beach came to the in
iured mans assistance. DR., G. L.
johnson was telephoned for and on
his arrival took seventeen stitches TO
close the wound. Patrolman Van
Ardsdale walked up with DR., johnson
and near Early street they met an
Italian who was searched and Ques-
toned, but as nothing suspicious could
be found was allowed to go. 1t is
thought from the description that he
is the man wanted.
Patrolman Van Arsdale arrested
Gregorio Zambetto, of Flagler, street,
Monday morning and Marinaro identi-
fed him as his assailant. Justice Con-
don committed Zaml otto to jail inlde-
fault Of 81 800 bail.

IMPROVING THE FACILITIES.
Tie .Morrisrown Gas Light Company
s Putsing in a New Tank.

Tie sMorristown Gas Light Company
. Putting In q New Tank.
The Morristown Gas Light Co. has
started work on the construction OF a
new double lift telescope steel gas
holder, with capacity of 100000 Gu
bic feet. The new tank will stand
along side the large tank on Center
street. The concrete foundation for
which Sturgis Bros. have the contract,
will be seventy-three feet in diameter
and eighteen inches thick, while the
superstructure for which the Cruise,
Kemper Co., of Amber, Pa have the
contract, will be sixty-nine feet in di-
ameter and the same in height. These
dimensions are little less in diameter
and little greater in height than the
tank now on Center street, which,
when the new holder is finished, will
be given thorough overhauling. The
new tank will also give added storage
capacity, the three tanks having an
aggregate capacity of 100000 cubic
feet.
The first tank erected on the old
plant site is entirely out Of business,
but the second one erected on that lot
is still in service.
The company has also ordered the
pipe and is getting bids for digging
for new six inch main on Western
avenue from Washington street to
Miller street, where the demands for
stoves and lighting have become SO
large that the present main can not
carry enough gas.

distress of the neighbors and increas-
ing insurance rates, also the territory
burned over a few years ago.
Alderman ConkliDg tried his best to
get the sidewalk contract awarded to
Mooney & Lyons but the sentiment
seemed to be against such action and
the matter was given over to the
street committee to award. Then it
was discovered that the rules must be
suspended to reconsider, vote taken
at a previous meeting and as there
were only five members present while
six are required the whole matter had
to go over
Joseph Hinchman presented plans,
with the approval of the Chief En-
gineer, for an addition to the second
story of DR.. Sharp's building on South
street making a uniform front instead
of the present arrangement. This
matter under the rule was laid over.

A Sewer Tunnel.

The Rosevear mill pond has been
drawn off and the sewer contractor has
a gang at work laying the iron pipe in
its bed which will run over a private
right of way to Washington street.
Much better digging was found than
had been expected. A tunnel is being
dug from the manhole in the center of
Spring street to the edge of the pond.
The drift is about as high as mans
head and wide enough for a wheel
barrow to pass. AS the digging is
through retentiye clay, no timbering
has been found necessary as yet. About
twenty-five feet Of tunnel has been
dug from the manhole and another
heading will be started from the pond
side excavation being under way for
that. There yet remains but ten
thousand feet Of sewer lines to be laid
to complete the work within the town
| limits.

REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE.
Organized For Effective work-opti-
mistic as to Results.

misttc as to Results.
at meeting of the Republican
State Committee, held at Newark OF
Friday, former Governor Franklin
Murphy was again elected chairman
The question of the right Of certain
members to vote came up and it was
decided that four appointees of Gov.
ernOr Fort, who had been named tc
manage his campaign, were ineligible
as the duties for which they were Sc
lected were at an end. They are Sher
iff Frank III. Sommer, Of Essex; Gen
eral Joseph w. Congdon, of Passaic
Senator Samuel X. Robbins, Of Bur,
! ugton, and Senator Joseph d. Ere
linghuysen, of Somerset.
There was much comment over the
action Of the committee and it was in
timated that it was slap at the re.
formers, F" but this was denied. 1t was
stated that there was nothing personal
in the action of the committee.
Winton G. Garrison was reelected
treasurer and Edward w. Gray, secre-
tary. Central headquarters will be es-
tablished in Newark and a branch offie e
will be opened in Trenton.
Mr. Murphy said before the meeting
that while realizing the campaign S
likely to be a strenuous one. he did not
feel at liberty to refuse to serve as
chairman for another term in view of
the practically unanimous request Of
his colleagues that he should do so.
" While / have absolutely no doubt
of decisive victory in the state, SO far
as the national ticket is concerned" :"
said Mr. Murphy, :" l realize, as do all
the members of the committee, that
we are confronted with local conditions
that will require more hard work, in
order to achieve success all along the
line than was necessary four years
ago."
r ear. Murphy added that he had given
the subject of chairman little thought
until within the last few days when he
had begun to receive communication S
from various members urging him to
continue as chairman and assuring h m
they had not at any time contemplated
a change.
Some of the younger members Of the
committee wanted the convention for
the selection of Presidential electors
held at once, but this was found to be
impossible, as the delegates to the con-
vention must be chosen at the pri-
maries on September %, when the d.
rect nominations law requires its first
trial In this state. Not few of the
committeeman were unfamiliar with
the workings of the new law, ard
those who did understand it were kept
busy explaining it's details.
The convention will be held Septem-
Der "a or 25. State Treasurer Voor-
hees was present as the representative
from Morris county.
