CONNECTING WITH SEWER
Kansas City Southern Will Soon Abate Serious Nuisance Work at
 Freight Depot.

W. l.. Miller, with a force of men, arrived Thursday from the south and expects to be in Mena at least three weeks. making some extensive improvements and reealrs on the Kansas City South ern's property in Meua.
 They commenced F IT d a J repairing the freight depot plat form. When this is completed, excavation work will Dc com menced on line of sewer from the turntable at the rounhouse, connecting with tue roundhouse and different offices, the eating house. passenger aud freight depots, and extending down the track to intersect the city sewer line on Herman, or Fourth street
 The putting in of this sewer IS a much needed piece of work. Il will put an end to the great null sauce which the south side resi- dents have for years been con. frouted with. Since the comple. tion of the roundhouse, all the waste water and oil has been flowing out from under the tracks through sewer pipe which opened into a small channel near the north corner of Siilwell park. During heavy rams this little stream overflows its banks, loav- ing the ground around the busi- ness houses and residences along it's course covered with thick slimy substance, which has in- jured property and been very ob- jectionable.

ACCOUNTS CRUDELY
kept, SAYS EXPERT
Lax Conditions Reported, but No
Evidence of Dishonesty Is
Disclosed by Report.

Reporting the result of a careful in
v~estigation OF the municipal accounts
OF West Orange for a quarter century
back, the New Jersey Audit Company,
through F. NJ. Scott, last night notified
the West Orange Council, in a volum-
document, of its findings, and
described the methods of account-keep-
ing in vogue as crude. Material
changes in bookkeeping are recon-
menoed for the future. The report was
varied, criticising and praising the Off
Gals alternately, and that
while several errors had been made
there was no evidence of any dishon,
esty.

pert also said it was unfortunate there
were not at hand proper accounts of
stone from the municipal quarry and
supplies furnished during Eckert's
term of office.
On motion of Councilman Joseph
Stevens the Council referred the mat
ter OF formulating desired changes in
to the finance committee.
The town Board of Education refused
to submit its accounts for inspection,
according to the report, and the ac-
counts of the custodian of school funds
alone We're available. The board did
not desire an examination of accounts
at this time, the report stated. The
following was a paragraph in the state
ments of the Investigation:
we find that the different depart
ments have been kept in a very crude
manner and in some instances nothing
tangible in the shape of books or rec
ords could be found at all. In some of
the auxiliary departments, there seemed
to be a desire on the part of those in
charge to withhold, as far as possible,
any information as to what records
they kept, as no books or papers were
produced when called for"

WILD RUNAWAY
IMPER|LS MANY
Frightened Horse Runs Through
West Hudson Towns at
Breakneck Speed.

A runaway horse in Kearny early to-
day dashed through each of the West
Hudson towns before it was finally
caught. Several persons on their way
to business had hairbreadth escapes
from injury. The runaway, the prop
erty of John Lone, a Kearny huckster,
was attached to a light wagon and was
left standing near the Kearny town hall
while the driver called at a nearby
house.
For some unknown reason the horse
became frightened and ran down
Kearny avenue at break-neck speed.
1t continued into Fourth street, East
Newark. and along that thoroughfare
into Harrison. At the Fourth street
bridge over the Erie railroad a young
man whose name could not be learned
made an attempt to stop the runaway.
He landed heavily in the street and
came neal being run over. 3
AT Cleveland avenue and Fourth
street, Harrison, another mar grabbed
the reins and managed to swing the
horse against a tree, where it stopped
of its own accord.

LEAPS TO DEATH
AS HORSES BOLT
Thomas Conlon Fatally Injured
Under H00fs OF Frightened
Team in MOntciair.

In an effort to save himself from in
jury when a team of horses drawing a
wagon in which he was riding took
fright and ran away, Thomas Conlon,
rs years old. of Hunterdon street. this
city, jumped to his death in Montclair
yesterday. Had he remained in mis-
seat his life would have been saved, for
a policeman stopped the runaways a
block away from where Conlon fell.
Conlon's DOT became entangled in
the harness as he. jumped, and he was
dragged fifty feet along Grove street.
Frederick Daley, the driver, who was
sitting on the seat beside Conlon. re-
tanned his hold on the reins. and at the
same time begged his companion to
keep COO
Conlon lost his head, however. and
almost before Daley realized what he
was doing leaped forward and to one
side the roadway with great force. He
was carried fifty feet before he fell be-
tween the wagon wheels. BY that time
he had been beaten into insensibility by
the hoofs of the horses and the impact
with the roadway.
When an ambulance reached the
scene, Conlon was dying. He was hur-
ried to the Mountainside Hospital,
where he died shortly after being adj
mitted.
