HORSE AND DOG ESCAPE
UNHURT IN STABLE FIRE.

A horse and a dog escaped unhurt
In a fire that ragged for a half hour
in a stable in the rear of the home of
e. J.. Langhorne, of 44e Central ave
nue., Orange. late yesterday afternoon.
The iremen tried to get the horse out,
but were prevented by the flames. The
fire was caused by an ~overheated stove
in the place.
After a half-hour fight the flames
were extinguished. and the fremen
went into the stable expecting to find
the horse a charred heap on the floor.
But the flames had not reached the
animal and 1t var taken out into the
air. While the horse was being taken
out a small object, apparently lifeless,
was perceived by the firemen lying
stretched upon the floor. Investiga-
ton proved 1t to be a small fox terrier
which was chained to a post. Just as
soon as the chain was removed the lit
tie animal revived and ran out Of the
stable.
Damage from the fire was confined
wholly to the first floor Of the building,
as the flremen succeeded in getting out
the two carriages in the place.

CONGREGATION CELEBRATES
AS MORTGAGE IS BURNED.

An entertainment and celebration
was held last night in Trinity Church.
%IrVington, under the auspices of the
Vestrymen, the wardens and the rector,
the Rev. August c.. Fliedner, in recog-
milton of the recent cancellation of a
mortgage of $1,000 on the church prop
erty. Nearly all the members of the
congregation were present.
The program consisted of musical
services, addresses by the rector and
several of the vestrymen. Refreshments
Were served.
The feature of the evening was the
burning of the mortgage on an agate
platter suspended from the ceiling,
Cards were distributed among those
present, all of which were blank, with
the exception of one marked lighted"
Each one drew a card and the one with
the word on it was drawn by the or
ganist, who had the honor of burning
the mortgage.
The mortgage, which had been stand
ing for many years, was originally held
by Prosper T.. Shaw, who for many
years was a vestryman of the church.
Subsequently the mortgage passed into
the hands Of his two daughters, Mrs.
William Riker, jr,, of this city, and
Mrs. Caroline j. Shaw, of Orange. They
agreed to cancel the mortgage, and 1t
was turned over to the church authori-
ties by Adrian Riker, executor of the
Shaw estate.

4 SHOWS
WONDERFUL FEATS
IN ATHLETIC MEET
Wrestling Bouts on Horseback,
Roman Riding and Other Stunts
Furnish Excitement.

Wrestling on horseback was intro
duced to an East Orange audience at
the athletic games given by Field Bat
terry A, of Cast Orange. The sport is
exciting and those who took part had
to display wonderful feats In balanc-
Ing.
The semi-flnal bouts brought together
Corporal Mueller and Private stiles,
GuIdon Nordine and Private Harris.
The four had a warm session for sew
eral minutes tossing each other off the
horses. Mueller and Harris were the
winners, and in the ina the former
won with a half-nelson hold. Sergeant
James and Corporal Hill wrestled to d
draw and continued the session on the
tan-bark ring.
The exhibition of Roman riding was
particularly enjoyed. Mechanic Patchen
and Lance Corporal Freeman in this
event showed their ability at riding
two horses at once standing on the
backs of the animals and going at top
speed. Rough riding by a squad was
also interesting.
In the pillow fight a contestant was
declared out when tossed off his horse,
and the falls were many. PriVates
Halliday and Eldridge met In the final
session, the former winning.
Private Leek won the mounted po-
tato race. He was hard pressed for
honors by Corporal Hill. Private Harris
was first to circulate the armory riding
a horse backwards.
h oVercoat and candle race pro-
vided the most amusement along with
the antics of Mechanic Patchen n his
Glow horse, Sox. 1t was necessary In
the race for the contestants to ride
once around the ring with a lighted
candle. Private Holiday won this
event.
One of the hardest tests for the ar
tillerymen was are sack race. Zach
man was first tied in a sack, having
use of his arms, however, n was
started running backwards the full
full length of the armonry to reach
their horses. The mex test was a ride
twice round the ring. None were able
to sit astride and holding IN n driv.
Ing, proved quite a propo-
sition. Private Eldridge was first over
the line. Everyone who took part
probably had the hardest ride of their
career.
In every event none of the contest
ants were allowed to use a saddle and
this made the riding more difficult, par
ticularly in the candle and backward
races. What added to the interest in
the candle race vas the rule that the
cape or overcoat could not be buttoned
as a result in getting astride h capes
in Tapping over generally extinguished
the lights. The winners in each event
were awarded prizes.
The judges were Captain Harrison
Lieutenants Lauterman and Dick
inson. Lieutenant Treat was starter
and Lieutenant Reimer announcer.

provements In the town form of gov
eminent. met last night in Club Hall
to talk over matters that might re-
ouire legislation. Only a few members
were present and nothing was de-
cided on.
HI commission is known to be in
favor of government by commission,
and it is possible that a bill will be
drafted and presented to the Legisla-
ture asking for thai form of govern
ment. The commission succeeded two
years ago in getting a bill through the
Assembly, which failed to pass the
Senate on account of some features in
the bill that we're considered bad.
These features. it is said, will be
eliminated in any new legislation that
NAV be asked. William 7. Evans is
president of the commission, Edmund
B. Osborne vice-president, William H.
Farmer secretary and Cornelius D.. Du

The Stockton Mail seems dis posed to poke fun at the "war" going on in Mexico. It publishes dispatch received over it's "neeced wireless system, the durndest in the world" which indicates that chiropodists are needed at the front instead of Red Cross nurses, be- cause the opposing armies are get ting bunions instead of wounds.

 In his report Post Master Gen. eral Hitchcock, from data correct ly and carefully compiled, asserts that to transport in the mails the newspapers and periodicals of the country costs the department $62,OO0,00O annually, and they contribute but $9,OO0,OOO for the service. Were there any other single line of business in the coun. try given an advantage so great would not the newspapers and magazines of the land make the welkin ring with their denuncia- tions of the "graft?"
 It is to be hoped that the Presi- dent and Post Master General will not abandon their effort to make self sustaining the post office department hy levying upon the newspapers and magazines rates of postage which will ehmin- ate the de6cit-or which will tend to do so. The deficit is now about 17,000,000. The newspapers and magazines contend that the depart ment pays the railways more than a fair remuneration for carrying the mails. The Post Master Gen. eral alleges that the government losses $53,000,000 annually in car rying the newspapers and maga- zines The latter now pay $9 000,- O0O at one cent per pound. By doubling the rate they would reduce the deficit to $S,0OO- GOO. That sum might be trimmed from the compensation paid the railways, without their feeling it.
