A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

One day last week as Sohn Fanton, Dwight Fanton and Thomas Kelly were starting out for fishing trip, when going up the road leading to the Good Hill schoolhouse, when in a very narrow place they met Frank Fitchs young morse hitched to a buggy with no one in it and running away. How the two carriages got by each other is a mystery. for the road is so narrow at this point that is usually impossible for teams to pass, but ill some fortunate way they did without any great injury to either. The three young men jumped out of their team just before they passed and the two Fantons escaped unin- jured, hut MT Kelly was quite badly hurt especially in the back and it is thought the horse must have stepped on h!m. MT Fitchs horse ran as far as Smiths saw mill where it was stopped. The team in which the young men were riding did not get away and escaped with a few scratches on the. buggy. This is one of the many bad places on many of our country roads and should at least he Widened so two teams could easily pass. Is not this great matter for aur present legislature to take up and correct.

Bill to Tax Al Bachelors Pfoves
Assembyman AL M7ler's Calamity
Pays Pointed Tribute to the
Pulchritude OF the Women
of Essex.

T HERE is at least one member IN
the Essex delegation in the
House who appreciates just how
much the State is up against it in the
matter of finances. He was not ap-
pointed on the special committee on
finances when the speaker of the House
and the president of the Senate were
picking members for that illustrious
body some weeks ago, but on his own
initiative he later produced a bill,
which, if passed. ought to put the State
beyond the reach of the wolf forever,
more and provide "a pension for in
digent State officials besides, provided
such a step were deemed advisable.
The bill has been made public before.
but a measure having the wide effect
that this would, cannot he given too
much publicity. 1t reads as follows:
Supplement to an act entitled AN
act concerning taxes (revision of
1880. approved March IA. 1880.
Whereas, The state of New Jer-
sey is noted, from one end of the
continent to the other, for the
beauty, intelligence and charm of
its women; and
Whereas, There are a large num-
Der of male persons residing In the
State who are by courtesy referred
to as men who have assumed an at
titude of indifference towards the
e%ndearing charms of the ladies, and
who are commonly known as bach
elors: and
Whereas, The finances of the
State, according to certain high Off
Gals, are badly iii need of being
upholstered; n
Whereas, There Is a strong sus-
picion in the minds of right-think-
ing citizens that the aforesaid male
persons are accommodating money be-
cause of their economical habits a
and are in a better position to on y
tribute towards the finances of the
State Of New Jersey than are the
real men who have taken unto
themselves wives; therefore,
Be it enacted by the Senate and
General Assembly of the State of
New Jersey:
|. All male persons who are resi-
dents OF the State of New Jersey,
and who are over the age of %
