A peculiar occurrence took place at
the G. r. Baker drug store on South
Main street Thursday evening. Mr..
p. II. Baker, who is employed IN
the store, returned to work after
supper, smoking cigar. He went
into the back room, as usual to take
off his muller and overcoat, wnicn
he hung on nail on the wall. In d
few minutes, small wreaths of smoke
were seen issuing from the back
room into the store. An investiga-
tion showed the overcoat, lately nune
on the wall, to the blazing briskly,
Before the fire could be extinguish-
ed, the coat was completely ruined.
The origin of the fire Is a mystery
although it Is possible that in re-
moving the coat, the lighted end OF
Mr.. Bakers cigar came in contact
with the cloth and thus started the
blaze.

SUSSEX FREEHOLDERS
HAVE LIVELY SESSION.
Jersey City Contractor Passes
Lie to Engineer.

NEWTON, Nov. 1.-THE meeting of
the Board of Freeholders here yesterday
was ~enlivened by the passing of the lie
between John c.. Tierney, Of Jersey
City, and County Engineer Andrew H.
Konkle. Tierney, who was the o n
tractor on the road from Branchville to
Culver's Gap in 1909, appeared before
the board to ask that the o per cent.
withheld to insure the proper construc-
ton of the road be paid, as the time
expired October l.
Engineer Konkle said that the road
was poorly constructed n is in bad
condition. He said the money should
be withheld. Tierney said that as the
year had expired he vas not interested
in the roads condition now and that
had the county engineer performed his
work right. the trouble would not have
occurred.
On the application of T. j. George, of
Stanley & Son, of Newark, who are
building the Stockholm-Frankli inn
proved road, the time for the compile
ton of that road was extended from
November l of this year to July 1, 1911.

NO FRAUD IN COAL
BONDS, COURT RULES.
Complaint Over Randolph Macon
COmpany's Issue Dismissed.

NEW YORK, Nov. 11-Judge Hand.
in the United States Circuit Court. lis
missed yesterday a complaint filed bv
the Slater Trust Company of Provi-
dence, r. l., against John T. Gardiner.
president of the Mexican Coal and
Coke Company; William A. Read. Of
the banking firm of William A. Read
& Co, and John r. Hegeman, presi-
dent of the Metropolitan Life Insur-
ance Company. The complaint alleged
fraud in the sale of bonds of the Ran
dolph-Macon Coal Company, which the
defendants organized on representa-
tons that the company owned in fee
simple more than 1900 acres of Land
in Randolph and Macon counties, Mo-,
whereas, according TO the complaint.
the company's title only allowed II to
mine the coal underlying these lands.
The bond issue In question aggregated
81. 800, 900.
The Slater Trust Company, as a pur-
chaser of the bonds, was acting in
bringing the suit on behalf of various
other bondholders, the action being in-
stituted following the bankruptcy of
! the Randolph-Macon Coal Company in
1907, W. years after it's organization.
This Is the expression of legal doctrine
on which Judge Hand bases his de-
cision dismissing the complaint:
when they created a corporation TO
make promises the defendants did it
to avoid making themselves liable per-
sonally. and every one who dealt with
the corporation knew it perfectly we'll.
OF course, that did not release them
from the consequences of their forts. If
they committed any, but it did relieve
them from any voluntary engagement.
To hold them liable on the covenants
would be to create an obligation which
they did not mean to assume, and
which the bondholders did not expect
to get.
"In the case at bar none of the de-
PENDANTS received anything from The
complainants which they now wrong
fully retain. nor is there any transact
, ton between them to unravel. 1t was
the company which got the money and
used 1t, and if the defendants ere
liable 1t is because they committed
some wrong when they uttered the
statement. There Is no theory. there
fore, on which the complaint can sue
ceed."
