proverbial hot-cakes. The crowd that
thronged the Casino came ready to buy,
and the merits of the various wares
were placed before them In a most
allur;ng fashion by the most attractive
young WOMEN.
One of the most attractive and best
p~atronized booths was the gypsy en-
campment. Here. fortunes were told
and small rustic articles and pieces of
bead work sold by a band of young
gypsy women in bright costumes of yell
low and red, adorned with %spangles and
sashes. The corps of young people
working here was in charge of Mrs.
c.. e. Williams.
The supper room and tea booth, he

dancing, were also scenes of special
activity. Outside the Casino a brigade
Of big touring cars was kept in use by

OF WEST ORANGE

Owen Quietly Wed
Last Night.

There was much surprise in West
current that Samuel A. Williams. a
wealthy retired bachelor of Eagle Rock
avenue, was married last night.
His friends and neighbors were in
clined to be doubtful at first. Their
surprise was great when the fact be-
came known that the ceremony actual
ly took place and that his bride was
Miss Elizabeth owen, of Valley Way,
West Orange.
The bridegroom is 81 years old and
his bride Is "a.
The ceremony was performed in the

Councilmen May Have Been Dis
gruntled, Friends of Harper
Believe.

There was nothing said at the meet
ing of the Kearny Common Council last
night about the placing of lights in
Harper place, Arlington, a thoroughfare
that has recently been opened mi runs
from Forest street to Davis
1t is thought that this may have been
due to the fact of the apparent victory
won over the Council by the man after
whom Harper place is named.
h name is that of David Harper,
a Harrison contractor, who bought
pearly all the property on what is now
Harper place, and, building up the
place, decided that it should bear his
name.
Mr.. Harper asked the Common Coun-
ell to christen the t~horoughfare Harper
place, blu the Council decided that it
should not be known as Harper place.
An ordinance was drafted making the
name Magnolia. place, but Mr.. Harper
visited Jersey City and filed a map at
the Court House and thus bested the
kearny authorities.

FREEHOLOER5 NOT
RESPONSIBLE FOR
TROLLEY SERVICE
SO Says Harrison Member OF
Board in Answer to COun-
Gilman Van Deren.

Denying that the Hudson county
Board of F~reeholders was responsible
for bad service on the Turnpike troll
ley line, Freebooter Patrick j. Condor,
of Harrison, today issued a statement
replying to charges of Councilman
Clarence T. Van Deren. Mr.. Condor
said:
I'm reply to Councilman Van Deren's
statement at the council meeting Tues
day night that the Board of Freehold
ers was responsible for the wretched
service on the Turnpike line. l wish
ITO positively deny. n suchathing. The
Board of Freeholders lave done every
thing in their power to expedite the
building of a new bridge, as the old
one w~asdangerous to car traffic, being
compelled to have two bills passed in
the Legislature, one of which former
Governor Stokes made useless by stipu-
lating a certain amount for the bond
issue.
we had several conferences with the
trolley company in regard to paying
some part of the cost of construction
of h new bridge, but they refused to
pay any part of the cost of the con-
tract. The county was compelled to|
proceed with the work entirely at its
own expense. The Board of Freehold
ers has no desire to interfere with or
impede traffic over the Turnpike road.
but Will insist on the car company
paying a proper rental for the use of
the new bridge when finished before
cars will be allowed to cross. The
blame for the poor service is entirely
with the Public Service Corporation.
Councilman Van Deren knows this, and
should not say otherwise"
