went to New York at 2 o'clock and did
not return home until after the fire was

her home was ablaze and hurried to the
damaged residence.
The couple have no children, so the
place was vacant from 2 o'clock. when
Mrs. Schaeffer went to New York.
Chief Sheehan said today that there
was no fire in the kitchen range or in
the furnace, and he was surprised to
find the doors of the house unlocked

VILLAGE BOARD
Of SOUTH ORANGE
RAPS RAILROAD
Trustees Object to Noise, Which
Disturbs Peace of Resi-
dents at Night.

The noises made by locomotives il
the Lackawanna round-house and
yards in South Orange during the
hours of carly morning, We're termed
as outrageous" and ridiculous by
Village President Ira A. Kip, jr, OF
South Orange, at a meeting OF the Viii
lage Board of Trustees last night. The
railroad company was also criticized
for stopping trains on the crossings al
Montrose and South Orange avenues
and also for running two trains into
the South Orange station at one time
President Kip said he was personally
acquainted with the head officials OF
the road, who had promised to remedy
the matters, but who had not lone
SO. Trustee William II. Tweddell de.
clared that there is no such a thing
as a continuous nights rest in the
southeastern section of the village, be-
cause OF the noises from the locomo.
tiveS between 2 and 3 o'clock. As a
result of the discussion Mr.. Kip was
empowered to appoint a committee. OF
which he shall be a member, to meet
the railroad officials and confer on the
matter.
The trolley company also came in
for its share of criticism when Herman
A. Markthaler, of Riggs place. in q
communication declared that 1t was a
common practise to stop cars on the
South Orange line which are marked
South Orange" at the car barns, at
Nineteenth street. and at Franklin
street, and cause the passengers to
wait for the next car. Upon motion
OF, Trustee Louis V. Blanchet the presi-
Dent was also asked to appoint a COM
mittee to confer with the Public Serv-
Ice officials.
A communication from Judge Thomas
A. Davis. village counsel, was read, In
which he stated that although the pres
ent excise ordinance does not compel
the South Orange Hotel, at South Or
ange avenue and Valley street, to close
at IL o'clock, as do the other saloons,
the ordinance may be amended to do so.
AS a result the ordinance committee
and Judge Davis will be asked to make
the necessary amendment calling for
the hotel to close at II o'clock, instead
OF midnight to conform with the clos
ing hours of the other saloons. AN
amendment will also be made to the
excise ordinance calling for the licens-
ing of out-of-town business places who
make deliveries of liquors in the village.
Chairman Tweddell, of the lamp COM
mittee, reported that the Public Ser
vice had agreed to practically renew
the present lighting contract with the
village for five years. the only differen-
ces being that the village would be
compelled to pay a slight increase for
the ~incandescent street lights until the
number used had been increased to one
hundred and that the six free lights
heretofore allowed will have to be paid
for in the future. The committee, with
President Kip. was authorized to enter
into the contract.
A request from Thomas p. Price that
permission be granted to the Prospec-
tors Club, to hold three ~stereopticon
lectures in the village hall. in Febru-
airy and March was granted, providing
that the club meet the expense of adj
ditional insurance necessary.

CIVIL SERVICE MOTION.
Pays Fireman's Salary, Pending
Court Decision.

Whether or 0 Fireman George Van
derhoof, Of South Orange, should re-
ceive his salary for December, al
though it was unanimously agreed that
he had earned it, was discussed at
length by the Village Board of Trustees
at a meeting last night. 1t was finally
decided to pay the salary, ignoring the
civil service resolution adapted by the
board several months ago, which does
not permit the payment of Wander
hoof's salary after sixty days of the
date of his appointment, unless he
qualities by passing a competitive ex-
animation.
The salary of Vanderhoof was held
up by Village Treasurer Frank Fenner,
who said he was liable, according to a
statement made by Trustee William II.
Tweddell, chairman of the fire CONF
mittee, to criminal Indictment for mis-
appropriating the village funds, unless
the bill was certified to by the civil
service board. This the civil service
board refuses to do, according to the
treasurer.
Mr.. Tweddell's motion hal the truss
tees share any fines or penalties that
may be imposed upon the treasurer, in
the event of the payment of the salary,
was passed and the president and clerk
were authorized to sign the warrant.
President Kip said that although he
believed Vanderhoof should receive his
pay he did not believe the board had
any legal right to pass upon the mat
ter 1t was finally decided to pay the
salary pending decision by the Court
of Errors and Appeals.
