R WAS A SIucInE.

The investigation by County Ply
stefan Elliott into he shooting OF Isaac
Gorsh, a Millburn halter, yesterday
afternoon confirmed the first theory of
suicide. NO evidences of foul play were
found When DR.. Elliott heard tina
there were what were considered sus-
piclous circumstances in the case, he
ordered the funeral delayed and per-
formed an autopsy in Kurz's morgue,
Orange, TO which place the body was
removed. Powder burns We're found on
the body, showing that Gorsh must
have held the revolver himself. A
burial permit was granted.

GREAT DANGER OF
BAD DISASTER ON
OLD WOOD BRIDGE
L~ackawanna Railroad Trains
Might Be Wrecked on Glen
Ridge Trestle Any Time.
WEAK STRUCTURE Is A
MENACE TO MANY LIVES
Company Dumps Broken Stone
Around the Piles in Effort
to Strengthen 1t.

Every train heavily loaded with pas
scngers that passes over the Did, rickety
trestIc across Mo6ett's miIlpond, ON the
L-ackawanna Railroad, between Glen
Ridge and Montclair, Is in danger OF
pIunging into the r~avine, carrying with
il disaster and death. The bridge.
which is of wood, was built 80 many
years ago that but few Old-timers can
remember the event.
With every heavy rain the bridge Is
further weakened, and the next spring
freshet may dangerously undermine it.
The danger was 3 o apparent yesterday
afternoon, after the rain, h a no trains
were run over 1t, and thousands OF
Montclair commuters, returning home
from this city and New York, had to
leave the trains at Glen Ridge and so
home by trolley.
The bridge is about $50 feet long, and
has been strengthened from time to
time. Six weeks ago the mill dam
gave way, and since thai time the
course of the stream has been con-
stantly changing to the right instead
of at the left, as formerly, when James
G.. Moffett conducted a brass and sill
yer rolling mill. An official of the bor-
ough said today that the Lackawanna
people had been watching the struc-
ture for some time.
About 1920 o'clock last night enough
stone had been dumped into the place
to warrant the running of passenger
trains across it, although this was done
at an extremely slow rate of speed.
Stone is still being taken there and
dumped in.
The Delay, Linger and Wait" line
was strongly denounced by the. COM
muters. All were of the opinion that
a bad disaster would occur some day
unless a new bridge were built.

weeks ago about some one going into
DR.. Stones Office, when he was alb.
sent, aud doing considerable damage
to his property. We failed to state
that he and his friends all believed
that the affair was but an echo Of the
municipal race, and was done to IN
huence Mr.. Stones vote in the cleo
ton Of city officers. DR.. Stone has
no enemies here, but on the contrary
has the confidence and respect of ev.
ehy one, and his action in the cleo
ton of city offers Is generally COM
mended, although of course every
applicant had his following and his
friends.

House Burned.

Thursday afternoon about ] o clock
the residence occupied by Sam f..
Walker, on Salem street, caught fire
In some unaccountable way aud was
burned to the ground. The proper
ty belonged to l.. II. James and was
insured for 500 which will only
partially cover the loss. Mr. and
Mrs. Walker carried only 5000 in
surance on the contents and much Of
it was burned and what was saved
was badly damaged.
The house occupied the lot next
to the old Baptist church and it was
saved with difficulty. There was
considerable wind blowing that day
and this caused some alarm among
the neighbors, but fortunately the
flames were confined to the one
building.
Mr.. and Mrs. Walker have the
sympathy of their friends. At pres
ent they are stopping with Mr.. and
Mrs. l.. II. James.
