Detected Something Wrong.

II was learned today on good
authority that several years ago a
bank examiner thought he detected
something wrong In Parkhurst's
records and brought the matter TO
his attention
The skilled accountant and mas
ter OF figures passed the matter off
with a hurried explanation, and the
bank examiner took the word OF the
trustee" man and passed on. This
alone prevented Parkhursts meth
DDS from being brought TO light at
the time,

SEWER NOTES.

The sewer contractor has finished
the trenches on Madison avenue, ex.
cept for the deep trench, which will
carry the sewage from the low point
near the residence of r. HI. Thomas
to Jefferson avenue. The trench is
down seventeen feet now, but the
maximum cut farther on is twenty
two feet. The pipes are laid from
Jefferson avenue to the railroad cul-
vert and two gangs are working bc :
tween the railroad and Ford avenne,
one on Howell's lane and the other on
private right of way, where the worst
digging encountered so far has been
struck.
The gang has completed the pipe
laying under the Speedwell avenue
culvert and is now working through
the lots toward Atno avenue. An
other gang is still busy on the lower
end of Washington street and two
more gangs on Budd street and Fair
view place.

twenty-five thousand persons from all

who came in every manner of convey.
ance from truck wagons to automo-
biles, were protected from swindlers
by special policemen, who wouldn't
even let a [concessionaire exhibit a
trained tortoise because they thought
he might work shell game on the un-
suspectiug grangers.

Ice PLANT Sold to Another Firm.

A business change Of importance
was consummated on Monday, when
Samuel Leonard and Robert oakley,
who conduct the Spring Lake Ice
business, took possession of w. L.
Mills ice factory and his Morristown
routes. The purchase price is said to
be about $4,000. The purchasers will
continue the manufacture of ice at
the Albeit avenue plant and have
closed down their other plant in the
rear of Water street. The new plant
gives them about twice the capacity
of the former plant.
The Mills plant has had rather a
checkered career. 1t was started in
1905 and run for some time, Last sum-
mer saw it closed down most of the
time, and it did not look as if it would
be run hard this year until the ice
houses at Whippany and Hanover
burned down, leaving the owner with
out any natural ice. Then it was
stated that the plant would not make
ice, but Philip Jaqui, who was inter-
ested, secured an expert and demon
strated that it was lack of manage
ment which prevented the making of
ice, rather than the plant.
