scHooLBoY FiREMEN.
Morrstown School Lads Make Fine
Showing at Small Blaze Saturday.

That school boys can be fire-fight-
ers was shown conclusively at Norris
town School Saturday afternoon This
big private school for boys is located
about two miles from the center of
Morristown. During the progress of
a foot ball match between the school
team and that of Randolph Military
academy one of the lads saw smoke
pouring from the roof of the main
building.
At once the fire bell at the school
was sounded and the boys ran to
respective stations. One detachment
secured fire extinguishers and made
their way to the roof by means of
interior stairways, another detach-
ment secured ladders and raised them
against the building while a third
crew ran reel of fire hose from it's
housing to fire hydrant in the
street and laid a line of hose to the
fire. 1t took but a fewminutes to ex-
tinguish the blaze which was in the
roof having been started by an over
heated chimney.
Chief Wilbur F. Day, jr., of the
Morristowny fire department, was at
the game and witnessed the fire drill
by the boys and expressed his ad-
miration of the rapidity and alertness
with which the blaze was handled.

RAILROAD TO PHILADELPHIA.
Mr.. McEwan Wants Rail Connection
With Pennsylvania Road.

President Richard McEwan, of the
Morristown & Erie railroad, has en-
gagged Frederick s. Smith to lay out
a railroad line from Morristown to
Flemington and possibly the Delawar
river. Mr.. Smith has completed the
running of the cutoff from Essex
Fells via the old tunnel route to Mont
clair. Mr.. McEwan now wants a rail
connection with Philadelphia. This
can be secured at Flemington by
means of the Pennsylvania and the
Lehigh Valley roads while still another
connection can be made by pushing
on to the Delaware river.
The proposed merging of the Nor
ristown & Erie and the New Jersey
& Pennsylvania roads has been drop
ped, it being found that the latter's
curves and grades were too severe
for successful work. The scheme
now is to parallel the N. ]. & p. to
Whitehouse and thence onward to
Flemington. The grades and curves
will be made as easy as possible so
that heavy freight trains can be con-
veniently handled and passenger traf-
fic can be handled with speed.

FORGED CHECKS.
Rudolph Herms Victim of Farm Hand
Who Has Disappeared.

Rudolph Herms, of Passaic town.
ship, secured farm hand at a New
York employment agency few weeks
ago who gave his name as George
Lockwood. When his money was due
him he requested that he be paid
with a check, and he was accom-
modated. Later he claimed that he
had lost the check and it was dupli-
Gated. Shortly afterward the man
disappeared when it was discovered
that he had forged a number of
checks on which he had procured the
money in Morristown and in other
places. The forgeries were dis
covered when Mr. Herms account at
the Morristown Trust company was
depleted. The man had secured
checks from Mr.. Herms' check book
and had his name printed upon them
The signatures were an excellent
imitation of Mr.. Herms' and as they
bore his name in print there was no
suspicion attached to them. Mr.
Herms made complaint to Justice
Pierson and Chief Holloway is trying
to locate the rascal.

MONSTER LOCOMOTIVES.
Lackawanna's New Engines Attract
ing Attention of Morristonians.

The big locomotives the Lacka-
wanna railroad is using to haul trains
for Buffalo and points west art at
tracing the attention of Morristown
people who happen to be at the sta
tion when the flyers go through.
A number of these new mammoth
Pacific type passenger locomotives
have recently been added to the equip
ment of the Lackawanna railroad.
They are a portion of an order for
new locomotives placed by this com
pany with the American Locomotive
company.
A total weight of 100000 pounds (el
gine and tender), and maximum
tractiye effort of 40,S00 pounds makes
this new hard coal burning Pacific
type locomotive one Of the largest
and most powerful of its kind.
Up to this time, with the most re-
cent type locomotive, in running a
train of seven cars through the POGO
no mountains, it was frequently nec-
essary to employ a helper or an addi-
tional locomotive. The new Pacific
type is capable of handling nine cars
ON schedule without any additional as.
sistance.
The engines are equipped with the
most modern economy devices, as
pneumatic fire doors which open and
close at the touch of the fireman's
foot on pedal, and the latest i'm
proved screw reversing gear, doing
away with the old style lever which
required considerable labor and
strength to handle. This screw gear
is almost as simple and as easily
operated as an automobile steering
gear.
All these engines have Schmidt
superheaters, which raise the tempa-
ture of the steam delivered to the
cylinders from about 3S7 degrees to
$50 or 700 degrees Fahrenheit, thus
greatly increasing their efficiency.
