Death Claims Rev. DIR. Jas. A. Fergu-
sou, of Hanover Pres. Church.
Rev. DR.. James A. Ferguson died at
Muncie's sanitarium, in Brooklyn, n.

that he might be spared to preach tel
years more and complete half CEN
tury in one pulpit.
He was born at Ogdensburg, N. Y,
in 1843. He studied at Ogdensburg
academy and entered Hamilton col
lege. After graduation from college
he spent one year at Princeton Theo-
log gical seminary, and completed his
theological preparation at Union SEM

Hanover. His wife died shortly after
their marriage, leaving an infant
daughter, Miss Delal Ferguson. Dr..

attachments, student and investiga.
tor. He had held several Offices in the

HOTEL AT DENvILLE.
Forty-Roon Family Hostelry to Be
Built on Diamond Spring Farm.

Forty Room Family Hostelry to BE
Built on Diamond Spring Farm.
Claude II. Miller and Rodman B.
Carr have begun the construction OF a
forty-room family hotel upon the Mil
Ter tract, at Diamond Spring, near
Denyille.1 The foundation for the new
hotel is completed and adjoins the
Miller homestead which will be an an
mex to the new hotel. Diamond spring
gushes out of the solid rock at the
roadside within few yards of the
house and makes two ponds Of conSid--
cradle extent. The property was pur-
chased by the late James w. Miller as
a summer home and the water was
bottled and sold 10 Newark at the
time when its supply was drawn from
the Passaic. Claude H. Miller, the
only SURVIVING son of the late Alder
man Miller, Of Newark is connected
with the publishing house Of Double
day, Page & Co., and edits s Farm and
Garden. !" The Diamond Spring farm
and garden have been used for years
by Professor Miller for practical tests
of gardening and farming and system
attic records have been kept.
1t is proposed to supply the new
hotel with vegetables from the farm.
The location is on the road leading
from Dcnville to Boonton, near the
home of J. Henry Bacheller and Thos
P. Gould, and the tract upon which
the Duren family, of Newark, has
three modern houses. 1T is within a
few hundred yards of the newly opened
Rock Ridge tract of mountain lake
and river edge property. 1t is most
picturesque situation in the Rocka-
way river valley and the lakes, river
and canal afford excellent and safe op-
portunity for canoeing, boating and
fishing, while The surrounding hills
provide excellent opportunities for
walking and mountain climbing, while
the excellent hard roads are inviting
for driving and motoring. The Dia-
mond Spring hotel is just what is
needed as there is no other public
house nearer than the GARNER inn, at
Denyil, which is chiefly stopping
place for transient guests.

SUDDENL
PASSED AWAY
Joseph w. Thompson, a Former
Morristown Merchant Dies
at Newark.
INTERMENT AT WELLINGTON

Joseph w Thompson, ah insurance
broker, with offices in New York, was
found dead, in bed in his room at LOG
Clinton avenue, Newark, Saturday
morning Gas leaking from tube at
tached to a small stove, and the flame
of two burners are believed to have
exhausted the air in the small room
which Mrs Thompson occupied, ana
aggravated an attack Of asthma, from
which he had been a sufferer. Asth.
matte trouble was given by physicians
as the chief cause of death.
Mr.. Thompson went to his room
about nine O'Clock Friday night to OBJ
tain relief by burning a powder over
the gas stove. He started the stove
and lit.the gas for the purpose of read
ing and apparently he fell asleep.
Mrs. Thompson went to the room
about ten O'Clock to have her husband
sign paper, but imagining him asleep
did not try to enter the room. About
seven thirty Saturday morning, as her
husband did not come TO breakfast,
she went to the room and then de-
tected smell of gas. She called for
assistance and medical aid was sum-
moned.
Efforts to resuscitate the patient
were OF no avail. In the opinion OF
the doctors, including County Pysician
Mckenzie, death probably occurred
two hours before Mrs. Thompson went
to the room.
Mr.. Thompson was sixty-one years
old and was born in Basking Ridge.
For a number of years he was in the
dry goods business in Morristown and
latter took up brokerage and insur-
ance in New York. He was also inter-
ested in the manufacture of cigars.
Mr.. and Mrs Thompson had resided
in Newark for several years. Besides
his widow, Mr.. Thompson is survived
by son, William G. Thompson, and
three sisters, who reside at Milling
ton, and a brother, Louis A. Thomp-
son. The latter was State Senator
from Somerset county from 1894 to
1896.
The funeral services were held in
Millington to-day. Interment in
Basking Ridge cemetery.

Respectfully,
THos. w. CALDWELL.
a Rough outline Of nv Plan.

y
A Kough Outline of MY Plan.
Is to have the city undertake to col
lect and cart away iadiyectty and free
Of cost to it, all its garbage and ashes
from the front of every house ia town
at the least once a week and at regu-
lar intervals.
The method, ia SO far as the good
result OF the work is concerned, is
similar to that adopted in large cities.
But the expenditure side OF it differs
from my plan in that in a large city
the cost necessary for collecting and
carting away all the garbage and ashes
Is taken from the city treasury, while
with my plan no money need be taken
from the city treasury, as the contrac-
tor or bidder who undertakes To do
the work should undertake it on CON
dltion that he himself will have to col
lect the price of his work from each
and every family keeping house in
town and enjoying the benefit of his
labor.
In a proposition like this, however,
it Is most necessary that the city
should sanction the enterprise by
backing up the contractor with proper
city ordinances and by standing as a
surety to him as shall explain below.
For an instance, let us suppose that
the city has decided to adopt my plan
and starts to put it into execution.
The first thing it should do is to give
out the work on contract to the lowest
bidder.
The bidder or contractor should
state in the bid the monthly or yearly
rate per family for which ne would
agree to gather and cart away all the
garbage and ashes of the city on con-
dition that he himself shall collect
from each family the sum so stated in
his bid.
This done, then the contractor
should let the head of every family in
town sign an agreement to the effect
that he or she will agree to pay him
(the contractor) the monthly or yearly
rate as by him stated in his bid, in
consideration for the services he is to
render in collecting and carting away
the garbage and ashes from the front
OF his or her house.
Ii the head of family be a tenant
then the contractor should let the
owner of the premises countersign the
agreement.
But the city must in all cases vouch
for every agreement so signed and
countersigned by the general public.
Because, should any one or more
families fail to pay the contractor the
sum stipulated in the agreement, then
the contractor shall collect same from
the city, and the city in turn shall
charge the amount in question to the
owner of the premises in his or her
annual tax bill.
With this plan the city will get rid
of all its refuse free of cost to it, and
the taxpayers will have the work done
with more efficiency and at cost
much less than what they are paying
now.
But if the city itself should under
take to do the work directly, then the
taxpayers would have 60 stand the un-
necessary expense of probably new
department. in the city together with
the salary of some foreman to look at
ter the work besides the expenses in
involved by horses, harnesses, their
daily feed and lodging and all the
necessary tools required for doing the
work.
