A Line of Auto Stages

A public spirited citizen of Norris
town, who has record of making
good in a matter of public improve
ment, is considering the matter Of es-
tablishing a line of auto stages in Nor
ristown. The scheme is to procure
three or four to ply about the town at
ten cent fare or run out to meet the
trolley at Rockaway, to Morris Plains
hospital, Mendham, Bernardsville and
other nearby places at about rates u.s.
ually charged for trolley transporta-
tion for the same distance. He has
looked into the matter and is confident
that an outlay of from $40, 900 to $25-
600 four vehicles could be established
that would pay liberal interest on
the investment. An enterprise Of this
kind would add materially to the COM
fort and convenience of the people of
the town and help business.

Fire Damages.

Jackson Allison, of Jefferson Town
ship has settled with the Forest Com
mission for forest fire caused by him
this spring The Commission evident
ly means that the Law shall be en-
forced and though Mr.. lis on had a
permit to burn brush he was held re-
sponsible for the fire caused by its
escape. The fine in this case was but
$6, yet it will undoubtedly make a
good many people more careful about
setting fires in the neighborhood OF
woodland.
This spring has been bad for forest
fires and many have occurred, yet the
irewardens throughout the State are
doing good work, and have usually
been able to put them out before they
did serious damage. There is no
doubt that if forest fires can be con-
trolled, woodland property will rise in
value.

FIRE AT OVERLOOK
outbulldinGs on Miss Knaun's Place
Burned saturday Afternoon.

OutbulIdinas on Miss Knauff's Place
Burned saturday Afternoon.
The outbuildings of Miss Nina
Knaufft on her "Overlook" place at
Horse Hill we're destroyed with the
exception of the engine house on Sat
urday afternoon the fire starting soon
after one o'clock. The three horses
and colt stabbed in the barn were
taken out, also two of the carriages.
The pigs were driven out of the pig
pen and some of the chickens were
saved. Otherwise all the contents in
cluding new three seat carriage, all
the harness, several other wagons,
tools, etc, were all destroyed.
One of the buildings had living
rooms overhead which were occupied
by the men employed on the place.
One of the men lost $3S in addition to
all his wearing appearal and another
lost his citizenship papers in addition
to his other possessions.
1t is supposed that the flames came
from new hay which had been put in
the hay NOV, haying being actively in
progress on the place. The buildings
were partially insured, the policies
having been reduced recently on ac-
count of high premiums. 1t would
at least cost s5, 900 to replace the build
ings at present prices. One of the
s'r ctures was built new when Miss
Knaufft took possession of the place.
The other three barns, corn crib, ETC.,
were moved there from another loca-
tion n the place and all had been over
hauled and repaired this spring. The
lemical engine went to the scene.

nog Prevents Runaway.

There was an interesting example of
animal sagacity in front of the post
Office last Friday evening. Mr.. Holden
had driven up from the kennels with
buggy having as his companion a
French poodle of more than usual in
telligence and weighing about thirty
five pounds. He left the dog on the
seat and the horse reins over the dash
board while be went into the post
office.
The horsed started to run away but
the poodle in an instant jumped from
the seat and grabbed the reins, falling
out of the buggy in the effort. The
dog retained hold on the reins and
with them wrapped around his body,
although under the wagon continued
to pull, keeping the horse down. Pa
trolmaa Meslar saw the affair and
hasuened out catching the horse and
relieving the dog of his responsibility.

sewer Notes.

The iron sewer pipes are being laid
in Ridgedale avenue below Albeit
avenue. The pipes are very near the
surface of the street and the contrac-
tor will raise the grade of the street
enough to cover them. The plans
call for raising the grade Of that por-
tion of Ridgedale avenue two feet,
which of course would require the
raising Of AL the front yards as well as

A Novel Demand.

A peculiar condition exists in Dover
to-day in excise matters. The relatives
of one man, whom they declare is an
habitual drunkard, have had his name
posted in the local saloons forbidding
the sale to him Of intoxicating liquors.
The fellow tried to get a drink at the
various places but was refused and it
so angered him that he has sought
legal advice to compel the saloonkeep-
er to sell him liquid refreshments. 1t
was only few weeks ago, too, that a
deal of commotion arose over the fact
that liquor was being seld to "post-
ed" fellew, and now another is trying
to make the dispensers sell to him.
No lawyer, however, will tell him that
he can make another break the law,
even If he can't get his refreshments.
