CITIZENS TO COOPERATE
WITH ORANGE COUNCILMEN

A committee of representative citi-
zens fifteen in number. will be ap-
pointed in the next few days to CO.
operate with the railroad committee
of the Orange Common Council to
confer with the Lackawanna officials
to make an effort to either elevate or
depress the trackage of the railroad,
thereby doing away with the death
traps" as they are called, on account
of the awful toll of lives taken.
Rumor was rife this morning in
East Orange that some arrangements
had been made with the railroad
whereby East Orange would contri-
butte 100000 towards the remedy of
the present situation, but that they
had insisted on depression. while the
railroad declared that elevation was
the only feasible way their engineers
could cope with the situation. The
crossings problem has confronted the
residents of the Oranges for a long
while. and 1t is now rumored that the
railroad officials and the committee
have practically came to some kind of
an agreement

man in the Second ward against
George Hummel, regular Republican,
but 1t failed. Hummel is more OF a
favorite with the Democrats In MS

Councilman Objects to
Town Engineers Methods

Contending that the present course
pursued by Town Engineer Frank T.
Shepard when advertising for bids
for town work, does not apparently
Zeal fairly with all contractors, Coun-
Gilman Frank j.. Carragher made a
protest at the meeting of the Belle
Vile Town Council last night. Mr..
Carragher made his contention when
the regular order of the business of
the council had been suspended to
open the bids received for construct
ing stone walls on Mill street at Dow
street and at Morris canal bridge.
He took objection to the opening
OF the bids on the ground that Mr..
Shepard had but one set of plans
and specifications, and that in order
TO see them contractors were obliged
to visit Mr.. Shepard's office in New
ark. He commended that this was not
dealing fairly with all contractors,
some of whom could not find the time
to make the visit.
Mr. Shepard contended that this
had always been the custom and
apparently all the contractors were
notified, Mr.. Carragher said some
contractors had appealed to him and
We're not satisfied. He suggested that
hereafter dozen copies of the plans
and specifications for town contract
work be drawn up and left at the
council chambers for the benefit of
contractors.
Councilman Emil c. Mertz upheld
Mr.. Carragher's contention and the
council favored the suggestion.

ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
Former South Orange Man
Shoots Himself While
Dependent.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. PA
special from Bristol, Tenn, says
that George Ben Johnson, a Rich
mond surgeon. reached the bedside
of Lewis 8. Hornblower at Johnson
City last night and will determine
whether an operation is necessary to
save the life of the son of W. B.
Hornblower, the New York lawyer
and financier, who is reported to
have shot himself through the
breast near the heart last night.
The ball came out at the back and
the condition of young Hornblower
is considered grave. Hornblower
went to Johnson City several months
ago to work In the offices of rail-
road company.
Hornblower shot himself in his
newly built home. He had turned
to his wife remarking that he was
tired of life and preferred to be dead.
Without rising from the chair he
his beast The bullet passed COM
pletely through him, grazing the
heart and passing through the back
OF the cndlr INTO the Will
Although Hornblower, who is 80
years old, received only a small sal
airy here as clerk on the Carolina,
Clinchfield and Ohio railroad. he lived
lavishly on remittances from his
wealthy father, which are said to
be 5000 month His wife's parents
are also wealthy.
That young Hornblower had at
tempted suicide was denied by his
father, William 3. Hornb1ower, at his
summer home in Litchfield. Conn, to-
day. A telegram had been received
by him saying his son had accident
ally shot himself and would recover.
No other details of the shooting had
been received. George S. Hornblow-
er, brother of young Hornblower,
started for Johnson City as soon as
the telegram was received. No one
in the family could think of a reason
for an attempt at suicide.
The injured man is a graduate of
Princeton, class of 1900. and member
of the Essex Country Club. He for
merly resided at u West Montrose
avenue, South Orange. He married
Miss Katherine w. Belden. of East
Orange, N. j.. four years ago. There
are no children. The couple went

RESTRICT PERMIT
OF CHURCH SOCIETY
TROUBLES of Silver Lake Con-
gregation Again Given
Airing.

The differences existing between
the Rev. Cataldo Alessi. rector d
st. Aloysius Church, Silver Lake
Beileyilie, the St Bartholomew So
cietv of the church were again aired
last night at a meeting of the beiie-
Vile Town Council, when privileges
granted at a former meeting Tor
celebration Of the society next SAT
urday and Sunday were restrlcleu-
II was at the suggestion of Andrew
Il, ROWAN. former township counsel
that the action was taken.
Mr.. Boylan said he Voised inc
sentiments of number of residents
OF the Silver Lake section, asRlns
fhe council to adopt, in the Interest,"
~ Law and order. a resolution winch
he had prepared and accoFulnsS
presented. The right of celebrating
the feast OF st. Jeraldo has been con-
tended for the last few years oet"eeh
4ha societies connected with lhe
ehuycb and the st. Bartholomew SO
e,etv The council last year granteu
che latter society the privilege u
celebrating the feast day with panos'
areworks and parades, but later AFTER
hearing objections, revoked the priv
lege and extended the privilege TO Tue
church societies.
The councilmen took the stand last
night that 1t was not the functloh
of a public body to take part III an
apparently fractional fight ana were
reluctant to take any actioh WI
Rowan. advising the councimen that
he fully appreciated their position
aa;d that the conditions were such
that the resolution should be adopt
ed. ,o4..
He eontended that the civic society
would hold its exercises in a hre-
house engaged for the OCCASION the
miraculous power of the saint was
20 be extolled by a druggist OF that
section, and after the exercises the
image of the saint was to be carrleu
publicly through the streets.
The councilmen contended that the
privilege had been granted last year
and no disorder had been reported
as a result. Antonio Steffanelli, a
member of the st. Bartholomew So
ciety. was asked II this were not
the case. He answered in the affirm
alive Satisfied with this assurance
the council was about to lay the
matter over. when Mr.. Boylan re-
minded them of their procedure last
year.
He reminded them of their revok-
ing their former privilege and said
that the society granted the privilege
this year was not the same society.
Chief of Police Michael j. Flynn then
took the floor and advised the coun-
Gil that IL an attempt was made to
carry the image of the saint through
the streets trouble could not be
Rverted.
The council finally decided to adopt
the resolution. with the following con-
ditions No parade or demonstration
on Franklin avenue on the Sunday
morning of the celebration; not to
carry the image through the streets
and to have no loud bombs in the
fireworks display.
