EXPECT RAILROAD
TO RAISE TRACKS
IN MORR|STOWN
Aldermen Set Aside $4,000 of
$4,000 Balance to Pay
City's Share.
Especial to the Newark star.l

MORRISTOWN, Dec. 29.-The Board
of Aldermen has closed the year With
a balance of SIT, 900 after all bills are
paid. OF this amount $1,000 will be left
as a legacy to the new board. which
will take office January 1. The remain
ing $40, 900 has been set aside as a
special fund for the purpose of paying
any expenses incidental to elevation of
the Lackawanna railroad tracks at
Morris street and erection of a new
station.
The agitation for track elevation and
a new station has been made for long
and the aldermen several years ago
appointed a commission to treat with
the railroad company. The matter was
te ken up and vigorously pushed last
summer when Ransom Fl. Thomas,
president of the New York Stock Elk
change, was placed at the head of the
commission. Mr.. Thomas made a
voluininous report to the board last
night, in which he stated that nego-
tiations were progressing and that
track elevation seemed to be a reality
in the near future. Though there has
been marked opposition to the town
raging a cent to the railroad company
as a share in the work the members of
the commission. it is said, favor such a
payment.
When the Morris County Traction
Company asked the aldermen for a
franchise to build its line down Nor
ris street, along Blatchley place to Elm
street. and thence into a private right
of-way Mr.. Thomas appeared before
the aldermen and asserted that it was
unnecessary to permit the trolley COM
pany to use a private r~ight-of-way as
a means to get out of town and avoid
crossing the railroad and saying that
the company was about to begin work
on elevation and that the trolley could
run straight down Morris street.

WOES IN DIVORCE TRIAL.
Asks TO Be Freed from Yoke OF
Matrimony, Alleging InfideIity.

Joseph Rosen, OF 322 Morris avenue.
in his action for divorce, dilated upon
his woes matrimonial before V1ce-Chan-
day, and named Davis S%ternberg, of

Rosen, who is a laborer, born in Rus
STA, was married February Is, 1898, and
came into court to tell his story from
the county Jail. where he was landed
recently through the efforts of his wife,
Fannie. She charges him with violat-
ing his marriage vows.
The couple have two children. Morris,
II years old, al Sarah, a year younger.
Morris is a cripple and in a home for
i~ncurables. They lived in Buffalo be-
fore they came here and it was in that

planned in court to be a Hebrew d.
vorce. It cost them 800 and n Rev.

however. she had him arrested.
While the wife makes a total denial
of the charge of inhdelfty, she at the
same time. through her counsel, Nathan

SUSSEX COUNTYS
HISTORIC COURT
HOUSE ON FIRE
Building Erected in 1865 Is
Damaged to Extent of
$4,000.
Ispecial to the Newark star

NEWTON, Dec. 29.-Sussex county's
historic court house in this village wal
damaged to the extent Of $1,000 by fire
which started in the attic Of the build
ing early today.
The fire was discovered at $3.50 O'Clock
by Frank Lyons, a baker, as he was
going to work. Lyons aroused Sheriff
George N. Harris, who has apartments
on the first floor of the building, and
the Newton Fire Department was sum-
moned. The fire was extinguished about
5 o'clock, after the roof had been
burned off, and the lower floors had
been badly damaged by water.
The Sussex County Court House was
built in 1855. 1t was repaired in 1874
and was partially destroyed by fire in
1S47. 1t was rebuilt along the original
lines the same year.
The loss today is not covered by in
surance. the Board of Freeholders haV-
ing voted last year to cancel the $500
insurance formerly carried on the
building. Sheriff Harris's effects were
damaged to the extent of 5000.

MOUNT PLEASANT BAPTISTS
DEMAND LUMBAR PROBE.

The East Jersey Council of the Bap-
fist Church today received a letter
signed by a large number of members
of the Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church,
asking that an investigation be made
of the charges involving the good name
of the former pastor of the church, the
Rev. w. T. S. Lumbar.
This is looked upon as the final move
of that faction of the parishioners who
are opposed to Mr.. Lumbar. Were the
clergyman to remain in Newark the
effect of the letter would be that an
investigation would have to be made,
but inasmuch as Mr.. Lumbar has an
nounced his intention of leaving the
city, the letter becomes merely a pro-
test against Mr.. Lumbar's alleged con-
duct.

OLD JAIL SYSTEM
In Report to Governor, Com

TRENTON, Dec. 29.-Condemnation
tanned in a report of the Union county
branch Of the State Charities Aid and
Prison Reform Association, which is
appended to the general report of the
society. just submitted to Governor
Fort. The nature of this criticism lies
deeper than either Jail structure or adj
ministration. It lies in the system
which fails to provide employment for
the inmates.
Union county" says the report,
may point with pride to its jail, its
fine structure, good equipment and ex-
cellent management, and yet upon it
rests with others that bane of idleness
so deadening to reformation of char
acter. Over this condition the warden
with best intention may have no con-
troll. as the regular routine work con-
nected with the institution is all the
employment he Is able to give.
Throughout the country penalogists
are a~gitating this important question,
es SO we learn of the establishment of
warehouses, State farms and farm
colonies. all looking to the one object,
to differentiate treatment, adapting il
to the varying types of men, that each
man may have his chance of restora-
ton to manhood and good citizenship.
Union County Plans Farm.
I'm this march of progress New Jer-
sey may not afford to lag behind. and
1t may be that the counties wait for the
State associations to initiate some move
ment which shall lead to Legislative
action. This committee feels encour-
aged In the knowledge that the Board
Of Freeholders of Union county has in
contemplation the purchase of q large
tract of land on which to raise supplies
for the Jail and perhaps other county
institutions. This will naturally lead to
the employment Of prisoners and so dc
something toward solving the problem
of employment, while reducing to the
county the cost Of maintaining the
institution"
The only other reports from branch
societies are from the counties of Nor
ris. Salem and Somerset.
The reports of the Hudson and Essex
county branches of the association were
not received in time to be incorporated

FOLLOWS LOVE OF
YOUTH OVER SEAS
IN FUTILE SEARCH
Aged Spaniard Aspired to Wed
Above Station and Is
Prosecuted.

Los ANGELES, Cal, Dec. 29.-Juan
Gacias, who says he once served on the
~bodyguard of King Alfonso XII, of
Spain, sat in the county jail yesterday
before q Grass made by his own hands
and told of years of searching through
the, American-Latin republics for the
lady of his heart, from whom he was
separated forty years ago.
Gacias, 60 years of age, in the tattered
garb of a hermit and with feet clad in
crude sandals, arrived in Long Beach
during the morning. His general APP
pearance led to his being arrested on
the charge of vagrancy. After having
been sentenced to serve thirty days on
the ehain-gang he told his story through
an interpreter.
Thrown Into Jail for Love.
He said that, because of his atten-
tions TO a woman of the Spanish court,
he was exiled. Later he returned, only
to be cast into Jail, where he remained
until the breaking out of the Spanish
American War. He was then permitted
to show his fealty to his country by
enlisting as a soldier for service in
Cuba. Upon his return from exile he
heard that Teresa Peralta, the woman
who had enchained his affections, had
taken the veil and had been sent to
one of the old Franciscan converts in
America.
At the conclusion of the war, Gacias
says, he decided to seek her, and Wis
tied nearly all the converts in South
and Central America and Mexico. He
still has hopes of finding her and be-
lieves she is connected with one of the
missions north of here.
