rant corporation, Mrs. Childs and the
chauffeur had a miraculous escape
from death Sunday morning when
their automobile turned turtle. They
were riding along Basking Ridge road
near Mr.. Childs' home, when they
turned out to pass another vehicle.
The road at that point is on an en-
bankment and it caved in, throwing
the automobile completely over and
against a tree The chauffeur's head
was driven through the top of the
limousine but he escaped with only a
few bruises. Mrs Childs was badly
bruised and suffered from shock but
Mr. Childs was uninjured. Peter V.
Stryker, of Easton, Pa, took the
Childs home in his automobile and

league bowling season there is con-
siderable talk of organizing new cir
cult for next season. The Tapkaows
and the Chathams are both dissatis-
fled with conditions at the other end

burn Then. too, the addition of two
more teams to the league heightened
the playing schedule to such an ex
tent that the interest Jagged. A CIR
cult of clubs only is being talked of,
the teams in the league representing
bona fide clubs and not being picked
out from the habitues of public
bowling alley. Tapkaow, Chatham,
Madison, possibly Short Hills and

talked of for the nucleus.

SHEEHAN LOSES SUIT.
Or. Humphreys Need Not Turn Over
to Him Electric Stock.


Vice-Chancellor Howell has filed an
opinion favorable to the Rev. f. Lam
don Humphreys, of this town, in the
suit brought in the court of chancery
by William H. Sheehan to compel
the delivery of eighty shares of stock
of the Morris & Somerset Electric
Co. Mr.. Sheehan contended that DIR.
Humphreys agreed to turn over to
him eighty shares but when the stock
was issued and DR.. Humphreys as an
officer and stockholder received his
allotment the clergyman refused to
hand the stock over. DIR. Humphreys
contended that there had been no OPP
tion given Sheehan and Vice-Chan-
cellor Howell held that any agree
ment that might have existed be-
tween the two men is not enforcible.
The suit arose out of the effort of
the Eastern Pennsylvania Power Co.,
Of Easton, to gain control of the Nor
ris & Somerset Electric Co. The
Pennsylvania company already oper-
ates electric plants at Dover and Ber-
nardsville, near here, and lights many
surrounding towns and villages. Shee-
han was the contractor who built the
local plant few years ago and then
operated it for three years. The
Pennsylvania company, it is asserted,
purchased Mr.. Sheehan's interest in
the Morris & Somerset company to-
gether with stock held by several
other men, 1t is alleged that when
DR.. Humphreys learned that if he
turned his stock over to SheehaI1 1t
would be transferred to the Pennsyl-
vania company he refused to make
the deal. Rumor has it that the
Pennsylvania company already owns
large block of the local electric
company's stock and If it secured the
eighty shares from DR.. Humphreys
would gain the necessary fifty-one per
cent. and take over the control of the
company.

MISTAKE OF RRlckLAYERs.
Says Mr.. creoar Regarding School
ventiIating Outlets.
Morristown, April Sth, 191

MorrlStoWn, April 9TH, l9lZ.
TO the Editor of the Chronicle:
Dear Sir:--In regard to the heat
ing and ventilating outlets in the new
addition to the Maple avenue school
some of which the state inspector re-
ports as being wrongfully located, &c.
In justice to the building committee
and the architect, the late r. G..
Walsh, / wish to make public the
fact that the plans and specifications
call for the outlets to be located ex-
actly as the inspector recommends
in his report. Their being located
wrong was due to mistake ON the
part of the bricklayers. The con-
tractor expects to rectify this small
mistake all in due time. His atten-
tion having been called to this mat
ter a long time ago.
Yours very truly

Mr.. Powell Prepares Sketches for
New Windows for st. Peters.

New Windows for st. Peters.
James G. Powell has prepared
series of sketches giving suggestions
for the four remaining windows in
the nave of st. Peters church. The
central panels on the south side of
the church represent st. John the
Evangelist and st. Paul the Apostle.
The side panels of the st. John win
dow will portray st. John taking the
mother of the Lord to his home after
the crucifixion and st. Johns vision
on the Isle of Patmos. The pridella
of the window will be a representa-
ton of the Last Supper. This win
dow has been ordered from Mr..
Powell as a memorial of Abner w.
Colgate and will be completed in
September.
The side panels of the st. Paul
window as suggested by Mr.. Powell
represent ST. Paul preaching at Athen
and st. Paul in prison in Rome. The
pridella represents the vision on the
road to Damascus
The subjects for the remaining
windows on the north side of the
church, as suggested by Mr.. Powell,
are St John the Baptist and st. Ste
phen the Martyr. The st. John the
Baptist is to represent the Baptist
in the central panel, flanked by side
panels representing st. John preach
ing and the baptism of the holy fam
lily.
The two side panels of the st. Ste
phen window represent the ordina-
ton of st. Stephen and the vision
of St Stephen, and the pridella repre-
sents his martyrdom. In treatment
these windows depart from that pur-
sued in windows already in place and
while harmonizing with them will not
carry out to such an extent the green
vine back ground that charaeterizes
the treatment of the Miller and Nor
gan memorial windows. The sketches
will be framed and placed in the
church for inspection.
