The strained relations existing .oe-
tween the executive and state depart
mehts were further emphasized Tues
day. when Governor Fort, as he was
leaving the state house, stopped to
watch some workmen who were in
stalling directory of the various off,
ces in the building. In glancing over
tire list the governor noticed the
names OF Mr.. Dickinson, Mr.. Smith
and Mr.. Fransue, Indicating the secre-
tary and assistant secretary of state
and the head OF the division of cor
porations.
Governor Fort directed the work
men to strike the names from the di-
rectory. The names we're ripped off
the board without delay, and the gov
ernor was satisfied. The last clash be.
tween the two departments occurred
about week ago, when Secretary
Dickinson made report on voting
machines and election methods, which
the governor refused to accept on the
ground that it was not within the
proper functions of the state depart
ment.
Governor Fort expressed himself to-
day as being unreservedly opposed to
the use in New Jersey Of the present
style of voting machines, Of which the
state has purchased 1865, at a cost Of
1882, 500. He said, however, he would
favor machine If a mechanical device
could be arranged by which the voter

JuDGING from general remarks the
year just closed has been one of unus-
ual dullness in Morristown so far as
general business is concerned, al
though there are exceptions. The
building trade, especially, has been af-
'fected, and many of the local mechan-
les have sought work out of town.
The papers from the towns about US
nearly all tell of unusual activityin this
direction. Paterson, manufacturing
town, has established a new record ia
the number and cost of buildings
erected, while other towns where con-
liftaOns are no better than they are in
Morristown, are growing rapidly.
With practically every store in the
town taken. and il demand for moder-
ate priced houses it looks as though
there should be considerable activity
in the building line the coming year.

It is the kind of walk the drill SER

Is planted first, the legs are kept
