BANKERS NOT INFORMED
 ON INCOME TAX LAW


 We are only taking coupons fol collection, and not paying out money said Cashier M. D. Bloom of the Git. izens' Bank, yesterday when asked in regard to what bankers were doing re- garding government orders concern ing the new income tax law. It is held that so far the instructions sent out by the government are rather in- deflnate and bankers have not as. yet been fully informed just how to pro- ceed. Bankers will without doubt continue to receive coupons simply for collection until they know just exactly how they stand in regard to the income tax law.

LIFE DoeeED THIS MAN.
But Antonio Ferraro Finally Succeed.
ed in Committing Suicide.

After making three vain attempts
to kill himself Saturday night An
tonic Ferraro finally succeeded, a
railroad train running over him and
mangling his body SO that pieces of
it were spread along the Lackawanna
railroad tracks for one hundred yards.
Ferraro first tried to kill himself by
jabbing an awl into his wrist. Then
he went to the foot bridge of the
Shelley Ice plant and jumped into
the Whippany river. The engineer
fished him out the shallow water and
after Ferraro had dried his clothes
in the boiler room started home ac-
companied by a friend. At the Cen
ter street bridge he jumped into the
river again and was not seen again
until his body was discovered by the
engineer of a freight train early Sun
day morning near the Water street
bridge. Ferraro was unmarried, thir-
ty-one years old and lived at No. 81
Morris street. Dependency caused
by poor eyesight is thought to have
driven him insane. Coroner Law
renee J. Welsh ordered the body re-
moved to Hughson's morgue.

A SADLY NEGLECTED STREET.
Makes a Very Bad impression or
STRANGERS.

1t is most unfortunate that the
streets leading to the Evergreen Gem
etery, over which not, only our citi-
zens but many strangers in the town
pass every year should be in a dis
reputable condition. For years it
was Water street, but in time that
thoroughfare was placed in a good
condition. Now it is the little stretch
of Spring street from Morris to Water
street The road bed is completely
worn out, most of the time sprinkled
with loose stone that make it dan
gerous as well as inconyenient to
drive over Galthough the street com
missioner periodically has the loose
stone removeO. In wet weather the
road bed is sea of mud, and in
winter so rutty as to be dangerous.
Strangers are remarking about it con-
stantly and it is a disgrace to the
town and should be resupfaced at
once! The excuse for it's condition
is that the money appropriated for
street work is being saved up to pay
for work about the station in con-
nection with the track elevation. But
something should be done with this
street at once to save the reputation
of the town.

FIRE AT ROGER TRuE,s HOME.
Cigarette Blamed for Small Blaze
Just After Midnight.

A cigarette left on an ash receiver
and thrown into waste basket is
believed to have caused the fire that
damaged the home of Roger True
on Speedwell place just after mid
night Wednesday morning. Mr.. and
Mrs. VanDyke, brother-in-law and sis
ter of Mr.. True, were awakened from
their slumbers by the smoke. They
ran out of the house screaming fire
Mr.. True was just returning home
and he turned in an alarm from box
No. SO. The blaze was kept under
control by Mr.. VanDyke and Jared
Little, who was just returning home
from the carnival The auto chem
ical engine streams extinguished the
blaze. The doorway between the par
lor and dining room was afire. Dam
age to the house, owned by William
Artt, was trifling but Mr.. True's fur
nishings suffered. He carried insur-
ance
On the way to the blaze the coup
ling between the magnetic and the
timing gear on the auto truck broke
and the apparatus was stalled. The
auto chemical towed the crippled ma
chine back to its house where repairs
were made after Chief Day had made
night auto trip to the factory at
Plainfield for a duplicate of the
broken part

FIRST TELEGRAPH OFFICE
ON SOUTH SIDE OF GREEN
Story of Last Weeks Edition Was
the Result of Misinformation
and Poor Memory.

One of the difficulties of writing
history is that often one trusts his
memory and current traditions and
makes a statement, along comes some
other fellow with longer reaching
memory and knowledge of facts that
require the correction of the first
statement. So in regard to the ar
ticle about the first telegraph office
in Morristown.
We are informed by Messrs. Hey
ward G. Emmell and George F. Bay
les, who are better informed than
the writer about affairs in Morris
town in the early days, that the first
telegraph office was established in
the drug store of Boss &c Marsh, To-
Gated where Mr.. Bayles' harness store
now is, and the first operator was
John Lewis, clerk in the store
Mr.. Emmells fathers residence and
store was next door, where the M.
e. parsonage now stands, and as a
boy he was about the drug store fire.
quently, as was also young Bayles.
Naturally they have vivid recollec-
tions of the office and "reminiscences
connected with it.
Mr.. Lewis, the first operator, went
to war as hospital steward of the
Ninth N. J. regiment and died while
in the service. Early in 1861 the of
flee was established in the Freeman
& Sites hardware store on Washing
ton street, under the care OF r. NJ.
Sites, who claimed to be pioneer
in the reading of telegraph messages
by sound. He later became distin-
guished in Morris county militia mat
ters, first as captain of the Ring
gold artillery company, and later as
colonel Of the First regiment, Morris
brigade.

MISS eAsToN WON PRIZE.
Has Best Decorated Boat in Cedar
Lake Water Carnival.

Cottagers at Cedar Lake Saturday
night held a boat carnival on that
pretty sheet of water. There were
fifty boats in the line, all gaily decked
out with lanterns, bunting and flags
while not a few were trimmed with
flowers. Miss Carrie CASTOR, of Nor
ristown, won the prize offered for the
best decorated boat. Her craft was
tastefully trimmed with flowers and
represented a Japanese tea garden.
In the boat We're Miss CASTOR, Miss
Gillen, Miss Margaret Stryker and
Miss Edith Pierson all in Japanese
costume.
Honorable mention was given George
Castor for his boat. He had a start
lingly good imitation of that famous
old steamboat, the Clermont. Though
only a row boat Mr.. Gaston's craft
was equipped with side-wheel paddles,
a walking beam surmounted the deck
house and smoke was pouring from a
stack.
After the boat parade there was
dancing at Clarks pavilion and re-
freshments were served.

LAST BAND CONCERT.
MorristoWn Musicians Finish Season
of Open-Air Entertainments.

The Morristown band played its las
open-air concert of the season on
James park Tuesday evening. The
concerts this season have been par
ticularly pleasing. The programs
have been well selected and well
rendered and the work of the band
reflects great credit on its leader,
Professor Rossi. John ]. Roman,
upon whose shoulders the mantle of
business management of the concerts
fell, acquitted himself well and not

grams highly appreciated.
