DalrympIe, Jr.

Giacomino Maloni, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Angelo Maloni, of Flagler street,
aged four years, was struck by an
automobile belonging to John Henry
Dalrymple, jr., of No. 364 Main street,
East Orange, on Speedwell avenue
Monday afternoon and died from a
fractured skull soon after being TAX
en- to Memorial hospital. Coroner
Lawrence j. Welsh after an investi-
cation of the case exonerated the
DRIVER of the machine from all blame.
The young child with two other
boys ran out into the road near the
corner of EARLY street. Witnesses
say the automobile, which was being
driven by Dalrymple and which also
contained his mother, was going
slowly but before it could be brought
to a halt a wheel had passed over
the little boy.
Mrs. Dalrymple carried the little
fellow to the sidewalk and summoned
an ambulance. Afterward they drove
to police headquarters and gave their
names and addresses. The boy was
found to have a fractured skull and
was operated upon but died soon af-
terward. Arrangements for the fun
eral have not been made as yet. Mr..
Dalrymple was a former resident of
this town, his grandfather having Coli
Quoted a drug store here for a num-
Der of years.

new EDIFICE FOR
REDEEMER CHURCH
PdrishiOners Aasked to Con-
slider Project by vestry.

Parishioners of the Church of the
Redeemer are considering the erec-
ton of new church building to re-
place the present frame structure To-
Gated on South street. The vestry
has sent out to the church members
letters asking them to take the mat
ter under consideration until autumn
when they are requested to express
their opinions and also to state what
contributions they may be able to
make towards the building fund.
Next October will be the sixtieth
anniversary of the conservation of
the church and, the yestrymen think.
that would be an appropriate time to
act on the question of whether to
lieves it would not be wise to start a
movement for new church without
the assurance of receiving at least
100000, since from careful inquiries
made from parishes that have recent
ly built, it has been advised against
proceeding until approximately that
sum has been subscribed.
Ii the parishioners agree that "a
new edifice is desirable the parish
will have for that purpose about $780,
OUO dVdlldDle or One-ndlI the SUN
needed. This sum includes $4,000 as
a building fund from the estate of
the late Augustus L. Revere; $4,000
guaranteed by the rector and vestry
as an indication of their endorsement
of the project. Mr. Revere also be-
queathed to the church $4,000 as an
endowment fund for current expenses
of the parish, the interest of which
he presumably meant for the care of
the new building he hoped would be
erected with the assistance of his
building legacy There is also a. resi-
duary of the Revere estate of about
$25,000 which the vestly feels should
be held for the present debt of about
$4,000 and also to meet any possible
emergencies.
Tie members of the vestry are John
e. Taylor, Francis S. Hoyt, John r..
Emery, Joseph R. Moodey, J. Steuart
MacKie, Charles d. M. Cole, George
E. Chisholm, Oscar B. Smith, H. Ward
Ford, and James G.. Lidgerwood; and
the rector, the Rev. Barret P. Tyler.

BEATEN AT BERNARDS
But TURN ON BOONTON
MOHistOWn Breaks Even on lis
Base Ball Contests.


Defeated at Bernardsville Saturday
by score of eleven to seven the
Morristown A. A. went to Boonton
Sunday and trimmed the Jerseys
three to two despite the efforts of
Umpire Bolster to pull the game out
victory for his home team. The
Bernardsville game was replete with
errors, the Morristown infield con-
tributing sveen hobbies. Eddie Muir
ply was on the firing line and with
ordinary support would have won his
game. Young Freddie Chrisman was
no enigma for Morristown for they
out-batted Bernardsville thirteen to
ten
By the time the third inning had
passed Bernardsville had garnered
seven runs and Morristown had earned
only a goose-egg but in the fifth the
A. A. lads got busy. Doyle drew a
pass and singles by West and Green
and the latter's stall between first
and second gave us two runs. Hillock
opened the next session with sin
gle, Miller singled and Erad'ey ditt0s
two more runs.
The Morristowns kept right on IN
the seventh, single by West. a hit
batter single by Armstrong and a
single by Miller netting three more
tallies. But Bernardsuille was not
through for they got one on a double
and single in the seventh and In
the eighth a triple, double. pass
and a mess of errors were good for
three more.

GARAGE FIRE THREATENS
WHEN GASOLINE ExPLODES
Tompkins Structure and Auto Burned
Gas lgnites While Men Install
Gas stove.

Morristown had novelty Thursday
afternoon in an alarmless fire, when
the private garage of Llewellyn B..
Tompkins in the rear of his store on
South street was destroyed with its
contents including a Buick racing car
A fifty gallon tank of gasoline planted
near the garage also went up. About
four o'clock while James Wray, chauf-
feur for Tompkins, was cleaning the
car, the gasoline suddenly blazed up,
according to his story, and set the
garage ablaze. He called for help and
Albert O'Neill, the bookkeeper tele-
phoned for the auto chemical and then
ran to the barn and rescued Mr.
Tompkins' horse. Fire Chief Wilbur
F. Day, jr., went with the chemical
and wishing to save the chemicals
tanks for use in case the fire spread
to the storehouse nearby, telephoned
for the Washington Engine company 5
auto hose wagon and the auto truck.
The fire was confined to the garage
which was completely destroyed.
Dense clouds of black smoke as
cending from the fire were seen by
people in all parts of the town and
though no general alarm was turned
in crowds flocked to the scene. Tne
whistle on the George A. Mills Wood
working mill was sounded as the
blaze threatened. to spread to that
and other structures. When the fif-
ty gallon tank exploded the burning
oil, fortunately, was carried upward.
If it had spread outward many people
would have been injured as the crow
had encroached close to the burning
building.
The auto chemical and the auto
truck answered a still alarm Thurs
day morning from the home of Ro-
bert MacLaren at 179 Morris street.
Employees of the Public Service Gas
company were installing a gas stove
in the kitchen of the MacLaren house
and the blaze from a candle in the
hands of one caused an explosion of
gas escaping from the meter. NO
damage was done.

MILLION NEEDED FOR ROADS.
Freehclders' Committee Make Esti
mate of Amount for Repairs.

That more than 1000, 900 is need
ed for the repair of Morris county's
roads instead of only 100000 is the
Judgment of the committee appoint
ed recently to consider a proposed
bond issue for the purpose to the
amount of the last named sum. 1t
was figured that the cost of inn
provement would be $4,000 per mile
and there are about 100 miles to re-
ceive attention. Then the cost of
building certain connecting links for
these roads would bring the sum up
to more than double that amount.
The committee will further consider
the matter and prepare a statement
to be submitted to the people for ap-
proval. The members of the commit
tee are:-Anderson NJ Guerin, Charles
E. Estler, John w. Fancher, Frank
G. Carle, Elmer Diekerson, Leonard

TOWN HAS DISTRICT NURSE.
Generosity of Few People Permits
Engagement of Miss SaIpaugh.

Through the generosity of few
interested people, the Central Bureau
of Social service has been able to
engage district nurse for the next
two summer months. She will work
in connection with the bureau, CIV
ing special care where babies and
little children are suffering as a
result of the heat.
Physicians and others wishing to
secure her services can reach her at
telephone 233, or by communications
in writing addressed to the Central
Bureau of Social service, DeHart of
fices, 25 South street. The office is
always open from 8 a. m. to 10 a.
M, and usually from 1890 to l p. M.
On Thursday; the first day that Miss
Salpaugh, the new district nurse, re-
ported for work, the bureau had sew
en- cases for her that required almost
immediate attention.
1t Is our hope that the community
will find the services of a district
nurse SO Invaluable that at the end
of the two months they will desire to
maintain one permanently. We who
see the need for such nurse feel
strongly that Morristown cannot af-
ford to do without her.

PROBATE COURT HAS
SEVERAL WILL CASES
Litigation Over Brown Estate
Settled by Judge Salmon.

Litigation over the Brown estate,
which has been in court about year,
has been settled, Judge Joshua R..
Salmon denying the application of
Mrs. Ethel Brown McDavitt to have
her mother removed as executor of
the estate of Theodore Brown, of
Newfoundland
Mr. Brown died in 1900, leaving to
his daughters, Mrs. McDavitt and Miss
Elizabeth Brown, and the widow, Mrs
Emma G.. Brown, hotel, lumber
yard, 1000 acres of woodland and
about $4,000 personal estate. The
widow was named as executor.
In her application for the renewal
OF her mother as executor, Mrs. Nc
Davitt charged that the personal es-
tate had been wasted and that Mrs.
Brown had lived extrayagantly and
had failed to observe the provisions
of the will.
For Mrs. Brown it was contended
that the personal estate had been
used to improve the hotel, to build a
Lew store and new house and to
otherwise look after the real estate.
1t was argued that the money spent
this way was more than offset by
the increase in the value of the
other property
Application was made to Judge
Salmon in Orphans court by William
y. Beach for fees of $4,000 as guard
ian of James K. Gillem, lunatic,
who died recently at his home on
Western avenue, leaving an estate of
about $4,000. Nathaniel G. Toms,
representing some of the Gillem heirs
Objected to the full amount on the
ground that Beach had served as
guardian only about a. month. De-
clsion was reserved.
More testimony has been heard in
the Tompkins will case. Mrs. Sam
antha G. VanNess and Mrs. Jane
Vreeland, of Caldwell, the two daugh-
ters of the deceased filed exceptions
to the will which left all to second
wife and a son, Durwln, stating that
their father was unduly influenced
when he made the will.

CYRIL A. SMACK lNvENTS
CLEVER LIFESAvING DEVICE
Former Morristown Resident Has
Evolved Something New to
Aid the Ship-Wrecked.

Cyril A. Smack, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward Smack, former residents
of Morristown, has invented a life
saving device or life-preserver. M.
Smack is receiving much encourage
ment in the marketing of his device
from those who understand the need
of such an invention. Mr.. Smack is
now resident of Long Branch and
the Record" of that city has the
following to say regarding the saw
ing of life in ship-wrecks and the
need for the adoption of Mr.. Smack's
invention:-
Lord Mersey, of the Empress of
Ireland court of inquiry, has heard of
bodies floating feet upwa ID because of
life belts improperly adjusted. 1
don't believe, he says, that people
ever read the instructions for putting
them on
"'As to most people, the New York
World adds, he is undoubtedly
right. The danger of Joss of life
from stupidity maladjusting the belts
in case of collision is as real in New
York waters as it is in Canadian
Then why not have lifebelts which
can be easily adjusted without con-
fusion?
But lis maladjustment the only
thing wrong?
1T has been frequently charged
and never disproven that the ordinary
lffebelts are almost worthless as life
savers. 1t is susceptible of proof
that they are OF no value when the
wearer faints, is overcome by ex-
haustion or is injured.
'"They are a makeshift and as life
savers farce which is pitiful to
savers a farce which it is pitiful to
contemplate.
'There are devices on the market
which really are lifesavers. One the
best of which we have ever heard, is
the invention of Long Branch young
man, Cyril A. Smack. 1t fills all the
requirements which the devices COM
monty in use do not.
why such a lifesaver is not adopt
ed for universal use is matter which
the Safety First league might investi-
gate with great profit to humanity"

PUSHING RAILROAD WORK.
Trains Soon to Run in Depression al
Normandy Parkway.

The grade crossing elimination work
at Normandy parkway is progressing
to such an extent that it is expected
to have the trains running in the
depression within five days. The
Lackawanna has large force of men
working with a. steam shovel, mar
row gauge train, etc. The shovel has
almost completed its first cutting
and as it proceeds track layers are
following it up with the standard
gauge tracks. When the cutting is
completed the two tracks now used
by the trains will be taken up and
another cutting made for the Morris
railroads trolley cars. Foundations
are being put in for the concrete arch
bridge that will carry Normandy park
way over the tracks. A huge con-
crete mixer is at work preparing the
material for the bridge.
The railroad company has about
completed its work at Convent, the
new station and shelter house being
in use and the grounds graded. The
old frame station is being taken down
and will be set up at Morris Plains
for use as storehouse on the Nor
ris Plains Lumber company's property.

Umpire Bolster proved himself

Morristown was able to win. Ben

the former twirler for the Worthing-
tons, who toiled for Boonton. Boonton
scored first, a single by Conn, VIII
Lucas sacrifice and singles by H.
Lucas and Odde netting two.
Morristown tied the score in the
third. Bradley scratched a hit past
first base and Collins dropped a
clean single in right Shea drew a
pass, Doyle was called out on strikes
and West singled to right. Shea
made the winning run, initiating it by
"a double to center. Doyle followed
with single to center that Red
Conn let get by him, Doyle heaving
too on second and Shea across the
pan. Bolster, in desperation at Nor
ristown's lead, then called West out
on foul ball, claiming that he had
stepped out of the batter's box to
hit. AS there was not box marked
out and as the pitcher had delivered
the ball before West had even reach
ed the plate the Morristown players
were hard to convince of the justice
of the decision.
