Mt. Pocono, vas expected home last
night, but did not arrive. He was noti-
fled of the fire by telegraph.
Mrs. Cornell saw the flames when she
alighted from the train, but 1t did not
occur to her that the burning build
ing might be her house. 1t was not
until she was almost home that a boy
told her. The blaze was a spectacular
n and the reflection was seen for
miles around.
In the parish house, a short distance

Colby. Colgate and Osborne were
speakers. 1t vas while Mr.. Colby was
speaking that the alarm of fire was
turned in. In less than two minutes
the hall was deserted. The speakers
were at the house almost as soon as the
fire apparatus. Together with others,
they aided In laying hose. raising lad
ders and carrying out furniture.
1t was not until the fire was all over
that Mrs. Cornell collapsed. She spent
the night at the home Of Mrs. Eliza

from the Cornell home. The damage is
estimated at 81, 200; covered by insur-
ance.
The fire was discovered by Charles
Smith, who lives about 200 feet from
the burned building. 1t is believed the
blaze was caused by rats.

MONTCLAR
WILL SETTLE WHO
IS TO Be CLERK
Argument in DaIenz-Fitzsim-
mons Dispute Heard by
Judge Adams.

Argument was heard before Judge
Adams, in the Circuit Court, today, on
the question as to who is village clerk
In SOUTH Orange. Michael A. Fitz-
m is the present incumbent, and
Robert S. Dalenz is contesting the job.
Edward ID. Dufield represented Dali
enz n Albert c., Wall the defendant
in the case, which is legally known as
Edmund Wilson, encouragement VS..
Michael A. Fitzsimmons."
1t is contended that Fitzsimmons has
held the office continuously from May
6, 1901, has never had charges pre-
ferred against him, and hat at a
special meeting of the village trustees
held April 10, adjourned to May 8.
when the civil service law was passed,
Dalenz was named. He took his oath
of Office June 20 before Louis P. Taylor,
a notary public.
Dalenz was appointed to the position
by the Peoples faction of the Village
Board of Trustees, but Fitzsimmons re-
fused to vacate, on the ground that he
was protected by the civil service law.
The argument today was on marsla-
mus proceedings to compel Fitzsim-
mons to get out.
MI. Duffield pressed several points to
convince the court that the job be-
longed to Dalenz, stating that he had
been legally elected at a properly con-
stituted meeting of the board of trus-
tees. 1t was also contended that the
old board of trustees had rome out of
office May 3 and therefore had not the
power to pass the ordinance placing
the village employees under the civil
service law, which turned the job over
to Fitzsimmons.
Judge Adams reserved his decision in
the case.
