C. N. RIGHTER'S DOROTHY
HAS A MARROW ESCAPE,
And Sewing Machine Takes Four
teen Stitches During Mix-Up
With Runaway Horse.

Dorothy got completely turned
around Monday afternoon. Dorothy
is the pretty gray mare driven by
Chester N. RICHTER, the sewing ma
chine agent. When runaway horse
came careening up Speedwell avenue
Dorothy was standing quietly in front
of MIR. Fighters headquarters The
runaway ran full tilt into the buggy
to which Dorothy was hitched and
turned the horse and the wagon com
pletely around without injrfring either
Dorothy did not join the runaway
either, merely showing surprise al
so suddenly pointing north when she
had been headed south.
1T certainly pays to buy good
horses,' said Mr. RICHTER discussing
the mishap. But the peculiar part
of the affair was that sewing ma.
chine in the buggy was thrown out
had a piece of cloth in the ma
chine and when l picked the ma.
chine off the sidewalk l found four.
teen perfect stitches had been taken
in the cloth while the machine was
unhurt. Did you ever hear before OF
taking fourteen stitches in anything
that was not hurt?"
The runaway was horse and
wagon belonging to Isaac Rosenberg
The horse started on Water street
and running up the hill to Speedwell
avenue upset a wagon belonging t.
the Oliver-Drake company Continuing
up the street it caromed off the
Fighter rig and finally came to a
standstill after smashing the shafts
of a MOrey-T .arlla wagon

TIMELY TELEPHONE CALL
NETS TWO AS FCRGERS
Thomas Fitzgerald and Another Man
Arrested at Bepnardsville
Charged With Uttering.

The coincidence of a telephone call
for groceries and the cashing of a
check, pronounced spurious, brought
about the arrest of two young men
at Bernardsville on forgery accusa-
ton. One was Thomas Fitzgerald,
of Morristown, and the other said he
was simply John Doe.'
Fitzgerald was released from state
prison last year after serving a term
Tor burning. He was implicated in
the Mansion house stables fire sew
eral years ago. His companion has
been identified by Mrs. Charles A.
Moran as having at one time worked
for her as butler and whose name
Is Wade or Waite
The grocery firm of Benjamin Am
ster & Brother cashed a $50 check,
purporting to have been signed by
Charles A. Moran, presented by one
of the prisoners, who represented
himself to be butler for the Moran
family. The "butler" took SO or
der of groceries in a valise. He had
been gone but a few minutes when
Mrs. Moran telephoned an order
formed that her butler had just
edhcu GIBBS III Ills OIueI.
Mrs. Moran denied that she had
sent butler. Aaron Amster, junior
partner of the firm, rushed out of
the store in pursuit of the sbutler. !"
With Henry c.. Rudolph and o. N. Bl,
in an automobile, Amster soon caught
up with the stranger and his CON-
panion, recovered the money and
groceries and brought the two back.
One of the prisoners carried a
loaded revolver. Neither offered re-
sistance. but on the way back both
tore up checks and cards.
When taken before Recorder James
F. Guerin they refused to talk. Af-
ter being searched they were put in
the local lookup under guard. Mr..
Moran is a lawyer, with offices in
New York
The check, which was drawn on
the Union Exchange National bank
of New York, was indorsed with the
name Thomas Freeman. The grocers
cashed it without question. Mr..
Moran said later that he had no ac-
count with the bank named in the
check

Her Clothing Caught Fire from
a Rubbish Fire.

Taken to Memorial hospital just be-
fore five o'clock Thursday afternoon
terribly. burned about the head and
body Mrs. Thompson, wife of former
Alderman J.. Dixon Thompson, died
from her injuries five hours later.
Mrs. Thompson was burning paper
and other refuse in the rear of her
home, No. 207 .Speedwell avenue,
Thursday afternoon, when the wind
blew the flames towards her. Her
dress caught fire and she ran scream
ling to her home. Workmen on a
house across the street heard her
and ran to her assistance but failed
to reach her before her clothing was
practically all burned off and parts
of her body were charred by the
flames.
A stable lantern on the floor CT
the enclosed portion of the rear
porch caught fire from her blazing
clothing and exploded setting the
porch afire. A boy turned in an
alarm for the fire department DR..
R. Ralston Reed was among the fire
men who responded and he admin
istered opiates to Mrs. Thompson to
relieve her suffering. The Memorial
and Mrs. Thompson was taken to the
hospital accompanied by DR.. Gustave
A. Becker.
Besides her husband Mrs. Thomp-
son leaves three children, Allyn H.,
Clarence and Cora Thompson
On the way to the fire the hose
wagon of Washington Engine COM
pany collided with the undertaker's
~ firm Mr.
Struble, Charles Nelson and Martin
Cooney were thrown from the drivers
seat of the Struble vehicle and sus-
tanned scratches and bruises. The
hose wagon and the hose reel of the
First Ward Hose company were COM
ing along Park place abreast. Mr..
Struble had drawn his wagon up to
the curb in front of I. D. Lyons
store and it was not in motion. The
two pieces of apparatus swept round
the corner into Speedwell avenue,
the horses at gallop. The driver
of the First Ward apparatus, en-
ployed by A. M. Guerin, instead of
keeping to the, right crowded into
the center of the road, compelling
the Washington's driver to take the
left of the street with his team.
There was not room for the wagon
to pass between the reel and Mr..
Struble's vehicle and the hose wagon
struck the latter, turning it complete
ly around, smashing the seat and
throwing the horse to the ground.
It seemed miracle to the bystanders
that not one of the three men on the
wagon was not seriously injured. The
hose wagon was unharmed.

HIS ARREST A MISTAKE.
SO Claims Harrison Beam, Charged
With Horse Stealing.

That the horse he hired from j.
H. Lindabury, of Peapack, fell down
and skinned its knees and he did
not wish to return it in a crippled
condition was the reason given by
Harrison Beam, of Mendham, for not
taking the equine back to its owner.
Lindabury swore out a warrant for
Beams arrest on Saturday and when
he returned from his work Saturday
night Beam was arrested charged
with horse stealing. He was brought
to the county Jail but was saved from
incarceration by John Kinkle, of
Mendham, who had Beam taken be-
fore Justice Pierson and released
under $500 bonds, Kinkle going on
the bond. The horse was found in
a Mendham stable.

CIvICS PROTEST AGAINST
ROAD SURFACE CONDITIONS.
Pass Resolutions Calling Upon Board
of Freeholders to Make Re-
pairs Thought Necessary.

Resolutions calling upon the board
of freeholders to repair South street
and Madison avenue were passed al
meeting of the Civic association
last Friday evening. While the meet
ing was called for the purpose fc
discussing the donation of a sum to
wards public comfort station there
was not quorum present but the
topics brought up were discussed by
those who turned out despite the
rain.
The matter of roads was brought
up by John H. B. Coriell, who spoke
of the holes in South street, which
have not been repaired. Frank l.
Humphreys continued the discussion
with the statement that the question
asked is why Madison avenue from
South street to Convent, has beer
allowed to deteriorate.
John A. H. Hopkins said the mattel
had been brought to his attention
He introduced resolution calling up
on the board of freeholders to rem
edy conditions at once. The resolu
tion was adopted.
DR.. Humphreys said the tax ques
tion is causing much talk, particular
ly as to why the rate is higher here
than in places giving more service.
Mr.. Hopkins said that he had beer
asked to report on garbage disposa
a question which had much to dt
with taxation, he said. Residents
are paying twice as much, or ever
more, for having ashes and garbage
removed than they pay in taxes, he
asserted. The aldermen have ap
pointed committee on the subject
he said, and conference will prob
ably be held
Mr.. Hopkins said he had fount
contractors who will guarantee tt
put up disposal plants which will pay
for themselves.
Along tax lines, Mr.. Hopkins said
he had been trying to get copy oi
the tax duplicate for the past year
He claimed it should be published al
public expense.
The appropriation of $500 toward 6
public comfort station was talked
over and motion passed providing
that the Civic association should pay
that amount from it's funds toward
the project.
Rev. Ralph B. Urmy reported thai
the census figures for the town fol
the 1910 census had been secured
from the bureau. The cost wai
$103. so, he said.
