RUNAWAY HORSE KILLS BABY
Eighteen Months old Child Thrown
From Baby Carriage.


Left for moment by an older sister
and crying for her bottle Of milk
Dorothy Underhill, the eighteen
months old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Underhill, was thrown from her
perambulator Friday noon by it's being
overturned by runaway horse and
sustained injuries from which she died
an hour later.
John Glennon, driver for James Law
less, South street grocer, had stopped
at his home on Cobb place about one
thirty that afternoon. Before getting
his own lunch he started to give the
high-spirited horse he drives it's noon
day bag Of oats. lHe had taken off the
bride Of the horse and was adjusting
the halter when the animal bolted. A
few feet away were dozen children
ofthe neighborhood playing in front
of the Underhill house. No. 35. Little
Dorothy was in the care Of her ten
year old sister Kate. The latter left
the child to 20 into the house for her
bottle. While she was away the run
away horse dashed into the baby car
riage, oyerturning it and throwing out
the baby. Neighbors carried the child
into her home and DR.. Clifford Mills,
who was summoned, found that three
ribs had been broken. One of the ribs
had punctured lung and the baby
lived only an hour after the accident.
DR.. Francis Fl. Glazebrook, coroner,
deemed an inquest unnecessary after
an examination.
John Glennon, the eighteen months
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Patrick Glen
non, and a nephew of the driver Of the
horse, was knocked down but unin-
jured.
Driver Glennon tried pluckily to
stop the horse by grasping it by the
nose in an effort to shut off it's wind.
The horse ran into the Underhill yard
where the delivery wagon was over
turned and smashed and the horse
tripped and fell. Glennon promptly
sat on his head and brought its wild
career to finish.

OPENING OF NORMAL SCHOOL
About 45O Students Were Enrolled at
Big Educational Institute To-day.

d.
About 45O Students Were Enrolled at
Big Educationa1 Institute To-day.
1t is expected that about 450 stu
dents will be enrolled at the state
normal school in Montclair heights
to-day, when that Institution re-
opens for the term of 1910-1l. This
large enrolment is made possible
by the fact that ninety-five of the
old students will be sent out for prac-
tice work in the various public schools
of the state. The normal school at
present has seating capacity of only
352. About It's new students, it is ex-
pected, will be enrolled to-day, 159
applicants having already been passed.
Two hundred and seventy-five of last
years students have been carried over.
OF the large number of students who
are enrolled for the coming term, only
eighteen are males, ten being students
who hold over from last year.
There are few changes in the fac-
ulty. Miss Virginia e. Greff, who
was in charge of the kindergarten de-
partment, has resigned, and her place
is taken by Miss Nora Atwood, who
taught in the normal school at Wi
mona, M'nn. Miss Rebecca Rop, as
sistant teacher of gymnastics, will be
succeeded by Miss Emma K. Pierce,
of Toronto, Canada, and Miss Edith
M. Tufts, of the Teachers college,
Of New York, will have direct super
vision Of the outside practice teach
ing, succeeding Miss Harriet e. Rox-
bury. Miss Julia A. King, a graduate
Of Vassar college, has been placed in
charge of the books at the school. Al
together, there are nineteen teachers
at the institution, besides the librar-
ian.
Morristown will be represented by
the Misses Minnie Gillespie. Helen
Muir and Alice Pros5, who were In
the school last year. and the Misses
Agnes Leonard, Evelyn Moodey, Mary
Dempsey, Luella Stephens, Elsie Wells,
Elsie King, Helen Price, and Zella
Sturges, who have entered this year.
More than fifty municipalities in
New Jersey will be represented by the
pupils at the school. They come from
the counties of Essex, Passaic, Nor
ris, Hudson, Bergen, Union, Sussex,
Warren, Monmouth, Middlesex and
Ocean.
DR.. Charles s. Chaplin, the princi-
pal, anticipates another very success
full year for the school. He expects,
also, that the next legislature will
make an appropriation to the state
board of education which will per-
NIT the latter to erect dormitories at
the school. The high price of board
in Montclair makes it more expensive
to live there than many of the pupils
can afford. Quite few of the pupils
come from towns so far away from
Montclair that they cannbt make the
trip each day. Dormitories would
prove a great convenience for these
students and add to the attractive
ness Of the institution.
A shelter station will be erected
on the grounds Of the school by the
Public Service Railway company,
which has secured permission to do
SO from the state board of education.

MAINE GOES DEMOCRATIC.
The Excise Question Largely FREEDOM
mated the Election.

The Excise Question Largely FREEDOM
mated the Election.
Frederick M. Plaisted, of Augusta,
democrat, was elected governor of the
state of Maine Monday in the biennial
election by plurality estimated at
from 1000 to 5000. The democrats al
so elected the congressman in the first,
second and third districts and possibly
the fourth. Asher G. Kinds, Of Port
land, parliamentary clerk Of the house
of representatives, was defeated in
the first district by William Pennell,
while Congressman Burleigh, in the
third district, and Congressman
Swasey, in the second, also went down
to defeat at the hands of Samuel w.
Gould and Daniel P. McGillicuddy,
respectively.
Not since 1858, when the democrats
of the state defeated the wings by a
narrow margin, has Maine elected a
governor on a straight democratic
ticket. Only once in that time has a
republican state ticket been defeated.
The conditions that have caused a
falling off In the state republican vote
in Maine are local in their nature. and
politicals leaders see in the result no
bearing on national sentiment at
large. State prohibition has been so
played on by the democratic campaign
managers as to make it the principal
issue. The anti-liquor measure was In
corporated into the constitution sever
al decades ago. In the cities and In
many counties there was strong oppo.
sition to this provision and democratic
officials were elected who were pledged
not to interfere too much with liquor
selling. s
Then, five years ago, the republicans
took the enforcement of the law out OF
the hands Of the local ofiicials by pass
ing state enforcement commission
act. This irritated large number OF
surreptitious liquor dealers, who have
been hard at work ever since among
the growing foreign population in the
cities and towns to defeat the republi-
can state organization and get back to
the good old days Of local enforcement,
or rather non-enforcement, of the con-
stitutional provision against liquor
selling.
This feeling has been greatly aggra-
waited by recent excise raids by state
officials in Portland. Lewiston, Bang
or, Biddeford, Waterville and other
towns. There are several Jhousand
arrests in Maine every year for illicit
liquor selling, and large part Of the
persons thus prosecuted are influential
in local politics.
How important this issue has seemed
In the present election is illustrated
by the fact that the democratic cam
paign managers have made only a pass
ing reference In their campaign litera-
ture to the tariff, high cost Of living
and other national issues, while they
gave much space and emphasis to the
subject Of local prohibition.

PRIMARY
ELECTIONS
The Regular Republican Ticket
Has a Majority Of About
Two Thousand.
FOWLER GETS TEN DELEGATES

The result of the primaries in Nor
ris county, SO far as can be estimated
from the incomplete returns sent In,
shows that the regular Republican
candidates were placed in nomination
by about 1000 majority, on about a
two-third vote.
AS there were no contests in most
of the townships on the congressional
delegates it is difficult to determine
the number of Fowler delegates, but
it is estimated that he will have
about ten out of the total of seventy
six.
Mr.. Fowler Defeated for Renomina-
tion.
The returns show that Mr.. Fowler
met with an overwhelming defeat In
the fifth district. Judge Runyon has
from eighty.five to ninety delegates
in Union county; from ffty-ive tc
sixty in Morris, and fifteen from War
rem, total of about 165 in total OF
2l0. 1t was evident the first OF last
week that Mr.. Fowler's support was
drifting away from him, but it was
not expected that he would receive SO
signal a defeat.
The Result in the State.
Throughout the state the regular
Republicans won out in the primaries,
although there was large Progressive
vote. Viyian M. Lewis will be the
Republican nominee for governor on
the Republican ticket and Woodrow
Wilson on the Democratic ticket. So
far as can be judged from the returns
Franklin Murphy has majority of
the votes cast for U. S. Senator, with
Edward G. Stokes second and Charles
N. Fowler third.
