A Mysterious Accident.

Elmer McCleary, of No. SO Taylor
street, Washington, N. j., was brought
to Memorial hospital Sunday seriously
injured. His left leg had been practi-
cally amputated and he was badly cut
about the head and his body bruised.
The man was found lying along the
Lackawanna tracks near Washington
with a pillow under his head. How
he came there is mystery as the man
is unconscious. 1t is thought his in
juries resulted from being struck by a
train but the presence of the pillow
under the mans head lends mystery
to the case. The Lackawanna rail-
road train crew, who found the man,
summoned DR.. Smith, who brought
the man to the hospital here.

NO SAFE AND
SANE FOURT
Board Of Aldermen Postpones
Consideration Of Fireworks
Ordinance Until July.
ROADS WILL Be REPAIRED


Morristown small boys will have the
opportunity once more TO place their
lives in jeopardy by the use Of blank
cartridge pistols and dynamite crack
ers on Independence day for the board
Of aldermen Friday evening postponed
further consideration Of the fireworks
ordinance for two months after hear
ing protests Of merchants against its
provisions.
William K. Muchmore told Of haY-
ing been in the business OF selling fire.
works for twenty-eght years and
never having an accident and he pro-
tested against that section of the pro-
posed ordinance prohibiting the sale
OF noise producers In building used
also as a dwelling.
II. q. Stirn went Mr.. Muchmore one
better, asserting that his experience
with fireworks dated back to 1874.
His objection was against the provi-
sion necessitating the issuance of a IL
cense at S5 for selling powder.
W. e. Day made the same point, OBJ
jecting to'the tax but asserted that he
had no objection against the supervi-
sion Of the fire department. in handling
powder, etc.
Alderman Reed moved that the or
dinance be laid over until the July
meeting of the board. Alderman
Twining said that he considered the
subject an important one and that it
had been talked of before but nothing
had been done. & We have something
to work on and representatives of the
trade here to advise with US, said the
alderman, and think we should
thresh out the matter now.n
Alderman Sturgis made the point
that under the terms Of the ordinance
nothing prevented the purchase Of
fireworks under the ban from dealers
outside Of Morristown and he was Of
the opinion that their use should be
prohibited entirely.
The motion of Alderman Reed was
finally carried by ayvote Of five to two.
Mayor Ayers told the aldermen that
there was hope now that many of the
streets will be resurfaced without the
necessity of bonding the town for a
half million dollars, as was suggested
at recent meeting Of the Civic asso-
citation. The Morris County Traction
company, said the mayor, had fur
nished bond for $4,000 as required
under its franchise for the macada-
mizing of Speedwell avenue. The
trolley company will resurface the
street width of nineteen feet from
the municipal building to Sussex ave-
nue. and from there to the town limits
the full width Of the thoroughfare.
The mayor went on to say that he had
assurance from the board Of freehold
ers that as the sewer laterals are put
in the county authorities will repave
the county roads through the town.
The application of the Morris County
Traction company, the mayor said,
for franchise for the building of its
road around the park and down Morris
street to the Lackawanna railroad
would come up at special meeting of
the aldermen to be held on May 17th,
and that after it had been acted upon
the paving of Morris street would be
taken up.

pletion-Cars to Run In Ten Days.
The Morris County Traction com
pany has finished the grading of the
track to the state hospital at Morris
Plains and are now at work stringing
the wires for the trolley service. An
other car was brought to the Morris

The long expected application for a
franchise for a trolley in Chatham
made its appearance at the council
meeting last week Monday night
Representatives Of the Morris County
Traction company, together wit b
their counsel, Elmer King, of Morris
town, were present and explained
their positions, their aims, and their
intentions.
Counsel King stated that the Morris
County Traction company planned to
operate an electric railroad from Eliz-
abeth to Lake Hopatcong. They had
cars in operation large part of the
distance, but several gaps occurred
which they were desirous of closing
up. One of these was between Morris
Plains and Denyille, and the other be-
tween Summit and Morristown. 1t
was the last named that they were
particularly interested in that even
ing.
They were anxious to go through
Chatham, but desired to accomplish
this end in the best way, and would
accept any practicable suggestion
which would accomplish their end.
The route outlined was Summit ave-
nue. to Main street, and thence up
Main street to the borough line.
The company has consents for Main
oulCCu dLlO 1lCO lu0po oiiOWlA6 uhC RAN
posed route, together with formal
petition and suggested ordinance.
This ordinance, which gave them a
franchise for thirty-tive years, was the
same as used in other municipalities
in the state.
In connection with this application
for a franchise, a communication was
read from A. H.ssDay, secretary at
meeting Of property owners held on
Sunday evening, protesting against
the granting Of a franchise to run troll
ley.cars on Main street, which was the
only through road in the town, and
was now taken up with autos and wag-
ons so as to be crowded.
The whole matter was referred to
the road committee and the counsel.

There is much complaint from pa
irons Of the Lackawanna railroad over
the parsimonious methods of the man
agemenU in not properly lighting the
railroad station here at night. 1t is
the custom to keep the lights for the
platform extinguished until train is
due. Then they are turned on but are
extinguished as soon as the train
leaves the station and before the pas
sengers have time to leave the plat
form. Sunday night man fell over a
baggage truck standing on the plat
form and was lucky to escape without
broken limbs because of the lack OF
light.

the plate, a feat, by the way, which

George had one bad session. Inc

given by Madame Emile Grey, the
English harpist, at the Lyceum on
the evening OF April 29th. Madame
Grey rendered number of classical
selections which showed her master

gram was so varied as to please all
tastes. Her long experience and ia
miliarity with her instrument always
ensures a treat to the listeners and
they were not disappointed in their
expectations on this occasion.
The feature Of the occasion was the
skillful violin selections by Mrs. Clara
Wing Baldwin. Always fayorite
with Morristown audiences she gave
more than usual pleasure at this time
as the general concensus of opinion
was that Ia delicacy of touch and sym
