Interstate Commerce Board Cuts Penn
syIvania and Warns Lackawanna.
Proposed increases in Communication
passenger fares by the leading rail-
ways operating in and out of New
York City on Monday were held by
the Interstate Commerce commission
to be reasonable, generally, except
in the case of the Pennsylvania rail
road, the communication rates of which
are held to be excessive and are or
dered reduced
A specific order is made by the
commission against the Pennsylvania
railroad requiring it to desist from ex
acting its present communication fares
to and from New York City by Sep
tember 1st. and for not less than two
years thereafter For monthly sixty
ride ticket between New York City
and New Brunswick, N. j., the COM
mutation fare is fixed at not to ex-
ceed $40 Git is now $12), and the road
is ordered to readjust it's commuta-
tion rates to and from other points
in conformity with that fare
In particular instances on the Erie,
the Lackawanna and the West Shore
the commission finds that the COM
mutation fares are excessive. in that
they exceed materially the charges of
other roads for substantially the same
service. No order is made in respect
to those isolated cases, however but
the commission suggests to the roads
the advisability of so readjusting the
rates between New York and the few
points referred to as to place them on
a parity with their general commuta-
tion fare schedule.
The opinion was prepared by Com
missioner Marian and is unanimous.
The case-popularly known as the
Communication rate case,' has been
before the commission more than
year. Aside from affecting directly
almost half million commuters in
and near New York, the principles
enunciated are of far-reaching inn
portance, as they Immediately con-
cern railroads and commuters in every
centre of population.
What is regarded as the most inn
portant holding of the commission,
from the viewpoint of the railways,
is that it takes full jurisdiction over
all commutation rates and assumes
the power to regulate those rates
precisely as it regulates straight pas
senger fares and freight rates.

TOWN FORCES
TROLLEY WORK
Morris Street viii Have Brick
Pavement in Center.

The Hopatcong Construction Co.
Monday morning began the laying of
double track on Morris street from
Ridgedale avenue to Washingtons
headquarters. This work is to finish
the trolley construction work in Nor
ristown for the Morris County Trac-
tipn Co.
Eighty men and eight teams have
been put on the job. Brick will be
laid between the rails to the COM
pany's private right-of-way at Wash
ingtons headquarters. There is a
stretch of about 1900 feet of double
track being put down.
With the Morris street construction
work and the finishing up of the
double track on Speedwell avenue the
trolley company will be through it's
construction work on Morristown
streets. There yet remains, however,
the solution of the grade-crossing
problem at Morris street. The tracks
now run as far as the railroad but
no arrangement has yet been made to
get across the Lackawanna railroad.
1t was announced with hurrah last
April that work on the elevation of
the Lackawanna railroad tracks
through Morristown would begin May
1st but no move has yet been made
in the matter. The towns railroad
commission is still negotiating with
the Lackawanna and the Morristown
& Erie railroad, the two railroads af-
fected, but no amicable agreement
has yet been arrived at.
The Morris street work now under
way by the trolley company is the
direct result of the efforts of Mayor
Arthur S. Pierson and Street Com
missioner Robert Bowler, whe in
sisted that the trolley finish up it's
work thereby giving Morris street a
brick paving in its center from the
park to the headquarters. The troll
ley did not intend to complete the
work at this time. Though Morris
street is a county road it has been
only through the efforts of the town
officials that it is being put in decent
condition. The county has made no
provision for repaving below the rail
read crossing but the town officials
hope to get something done when the
trolley work is done. On Thursday
Warren Brothers expect to begin the
laying of the bitucrete paving on Park
place.

FIRE AT BERNARDsvtLLE.
Percy r. Pyne's $5o7ooo Barn De-
stroyed Saturday Night

The main barn on the estate of
Percy. r. Pyne was destroyed by fire
Saturday evening, theoloss being be-
tween $50 900 and 100000. Many
farm implements and large amount
of hay and grain were lost. The fire
was discovered about six O'Clock, and
the live stock had not been brought
in for the night.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pyne and their chill
dren were on the scene soon after the
discovery of the fire. They were
joined shortly by other members of
Bernardsvilles millionaire summer
colony, including John A. Roebling
and Ramsay Turnbull. The Bernards
Vile fire department did effective
work with its chemical engine in pre-
venting the spread of the flames to
the farmhouse and other farm build
ings. Mr.. Pyne's house, which is a
considerable distance away, was not
threatened.
The fire was discovered by Mr..
Pynes foreman, William Moore, who
entered the barn and found the in
terror a mass of flames. 1t Is be-
lieved the fire was caused by sponta-
neous combustion. The loss is part
ly covered by insurance. The barn,
which was built of stone and wood,
and which was 200 by $50 feet in
size, was one of the handsomest in
the state.

son, Six Years Old.
James Dickinson, six years old,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. l. B. Dickinson,
had narrow escape from serious
injury or death Saturday afternoon
when he was run over by New Jer-
sey & Pennsylvania railroad stage.
The vehicle, driven by James A.
Booth, negro, was turning in the
Lackawanna railroad station yard
with a load of passengers Just before
five o'clock. Dickinson, with other
boys, was playing around the station.
The lad ran directly under the
horses and was Knocked down.. The
wheels passed over the boys right
shoulder, just grazing his head. He
was picked up and taken to Memorial
hospital where it was found he had
sustained only severe bruises and
scratches. He later went to his
home on Morris street.
Officer Callahan took Booth before
Police Justice Isaac r. Pierson, who
discharged him after being satisfied
that the driver was not responsible.

Men Who Framed Employers LA
bility Law Are to Make inquiry.


biiIty Law Are to Make inquiry.
Under the authority. of the last
legislature Governor Wilson will ap-
point a commission to inquire into
the working of the new employers
liability and workmen's compensation
act, which went into effect on July
4th. 1t is stated on reliable authority
that he has decided to reappoint in
the new capacity the members of the
commission which framed the law.
They are:
William Dickson, of Montclair,
presidents COL Walter E. Edge, Of
Atlanic City,; j. William Clark, of
Newark; Samuel Bolterill, of East
Orange; John T. Cosgrove, of Eliza
beth; Edward K Mills, of Norris
town.
Already there have been complaints
regarding the new law, especially
from owners of large industrial estab-
lishments, although this was to be
expected, as the entire burden of in
surance for the workman in case of
accident is placed upon the employer
and the terms are liberal for the en-
ployees. The new commission is
expected to give very close considera-
tion to those features of the law
which have given rise to complaints
and recommend changes If changes b
desired. At any rate, the commission
will make report for the next ses-
sion of the legislature. }ii9

VOORHEES, PARK THE LATEST
Splendid Example Of Morristown Man
Should be Followed by Many.

Should be Followed by Many.
To-day a small park is being opene
on Spring street for the use of the
people in the vicinity. 1t is not a
playground for frolicksome children,
there are three such places nearby,
but this ground is retreat for quiet,
orderly people who would enjoy the
open air beyond their dwellings,
This advantage for the dwellers in
and near Spring street would not
have been possible except for the
generosity of the owner of vacant
lot, Andrew E. Voorhees,, who most
kindly loaned the lot to the Women's
Town Improvement committee and
permitted them to clean up the prop
erty and to erect seats and arbors,
whereby a place of rest and shade is
afforded to those who live in close
quarters and where there are few
trees. Mr. Voorhees, only stipulation
was that order shall be maintained
there and that the park shall not be
occupied after 1890 p. m. Doubtless
the people of the neighborhood will
take pride in carrying out the wishes
of the owner. The Spring street
branch of the Womens committee
held its monthly meeting yesterday
and voted to send a letter of graft
tude to Mr.. Voorhees,, with their as
surance that they and their families
would do all possible to keep "Voor-
hees Park, in condition of order
and cleanliness.
There are many property owners in
and near Morristown who have vacan
lots to spare, and who might well
emulate the example of our towns
man. remembering the people who
in some localities would welcome
small parks near their homes. as
we'll as the many tots who would be
healthier and happier for the outdoor
life in shaded sand boxes and the
older children whose natural spirits
require the recreation found in the
swings, at tennis and at baseball 1t
is impossible to do too much for the
health and welfare Of the children.
