Girl Seriously Injured When Mother and Brother Were Murdered in
 Buffalo Near Death.

Buffalo, N. Y, Feb. 5-Miss Grace Teiper, seriously injured Sunday night when her mother and brother were murdered at Orchard park, was in a less favorable condition today. She passed a restless night and emerged from coma only for moments at a time, when she murmured a few ir- rational words. Officials who had hop ed to obtain from her some definite facts as to the identity of the mur- derer have but little expectation that she will recover sufficiently to make 8 statement.
 John Edward Teiper, brother of Grace, who is detained in call at police headquarters pending investi- gation of the affair, slept soundly throughout the night.
 The grand jury will convene Mon- day, and the Teiper case may be talk en up late that day or on Tuesday.

Assessors Pay Will Not Exceed Appropriation of Town Meeting
ANOTHER QUESTION ARISES
To Petition Postal Department for Ex- tension of Rural Mail Routc-Dem- ocrats Amused by Postal Cards from Representative Oakley.

The story regarding the amount of conpensation the assessors bills would call for was declared to be en- tirely false this morning by Assessor George Carter. Only one bill has been presented to the selectmen and this is for thirty-six days work at $2.50 per day which would amount to $90 It was assumed the other bills would ask for a like sum which would bring the entire cost of assess ments up to $270. At the town meet ing held November 16 when the board of finance made its recommen- dations for the ensuing year, the fol- lowing conversation took place be- tween Francis Deming, chairman of the board. and MT. Carter, when the latter inquired the amount of com pensation to be allowed the assessors We have estimated s225, which will pay each assessor $3 a day for fifteen days" said MT. Deming.
 We have worked eleven days and are not nearly completed" said MT. Garter
 Work a full day and not three hours," retorted MT. Deming.
 The recommendation of the boarl of finance was accepted by the meet Ing. The question at issue now is whether one assessor shall be recom- .pensed more than the others or whether all shall receive equal pay. 4 According to MT. Carter this morn S ing his bill will amount to but $45 and the lump sum will be kept within the appropriation. This leaves the amount to be asked by the third assessor, whose bill has not yet been received yet, $90. If the action of the town meeting is taken that no assessor will receive more than $75, the question arises whether the selectmen will Dc justified in paying two members S9O and MT. Carter only $45. It is prob Table the whole question will be re- ferred to Judge Bernard F. Gaffney of New Britain. the towns legal ad- wiser, who will interpret the meaning Of the action of the town meeting.

George NoMa Says
Report Of His Auto
Accident Was Wrong

George Noffka, of Grantwood, was
arrested last week by Officer "Patsy''
Hartnett, of the Fort Lee borough
police force, and fined $50 and costs
by Recorded Sheehan, for driving an
automobile without a license. He has
written the "Palisadian" a letter of
complaint about the report of the ac-
cident in Anderson avenue, Palisade,
that appeared in these columns.
Mr.. Noffka says the accident was
caused by a deep rut in the road
way left by Mr.. Reid in making con-
nections for house he was erecting.
The rut, Mr.. Noffka avows, has been
there several months and should be
fixed.
Furthermore" Mr.. Noffka says,
"I did not venture out alone, but
was accompanied by four other
young men as follows: "Spider''
Fennessey, of Providence, champion
lightweight (prize fighter, of New
England, who by the way, is licensed
to operate a motor vehicle; his man.
ager, VIM. Ford, also of Providence;
]. E. Masterson, Hastings-on Hudson,
and Henry w. Dyer, of Grantwood."

in the report which came by tele-
phone and duly make amends to Mr..
Noffka. The net facts in the report,

Change Of Latitude
In Few Miles Of Town
Makes Big Difference

A Palisade party started out last
Sunday in search of stream, pond
or lakelet on which to indulge in the
new but old pastime of skating.
Going west to Hackensack, thence
North through River Edge, Oradell,
past Westwood, thence west to Ho-
hokus, through Ridgewood and on to
Lake Pompton was the route taken.
Before reaching Hohokus the roads
were suddenly found to be well-flled
with snow, and without chains on
the travelling was more or less slow
and skiddy. Leaving Ridgewood, the
snow was ever present in the roads
and very deep, and finally nothing
else was looked for. And some Of
the passes were filled with drifts at
least four feet deep, and it was with
some difficulty that the ways were
negotiated. East of Hohokus there
was no snow at all.
At last a deeply frozen stream
three miles from Pompton gave the
party ample scope for their skill, un-
trammelled by any others but the
four who were along. After enjoying
for two hours the finest ice that was
in a quarter of a mile stretch of
stream as clean as plate glass floor,
the party journed on to Palisade
through Lake Pompton. On Pompton
Lakes there were many hundreds of
skaters from all points Of the sur
rounding country for miles, and the
scene was not unlike what one sees
in Tuxedo Park in good skating
weather-not quite so fashionable,
but nevertheless picturesque and
beautiful as a picture of this most
fascinating winter sport.
The fields and roads all the way
in as far as Paterson were massed
with heavy snow, and in the Silk
City there were big piles Of snow on
almost all of the street curbings.
From Paterson east there was
scarcely sign Of snow anywhere, and
the fine new amesite roads were as
good as in the summer. The eleva-
tion of the Pompton Lakes section
accounted for the unusual snow
everywhere prevalent, perhaps.
Coming into Leonia, oncoming
autos raised great clouds Of dust, a
rabid contrast to what had hccn seen
III day. In the evening snades Of
dusk, coming into Fort Lee, the
great glass houses that contain the
moving picture interests were notice
able from afar, diffusing their green
ish hues up into the sky, sending
forth wierd effect that would make
a novice wonder what was the matter
with things around there. The party
got what it was after, besides i'm
provising a game of Scotch curling
on the ice they visited, which got
quite exciting. Smooth, round-sided
stones found on the side of the banks
furnished the curriers', minus the
handles, and it was nip and tuck with
the two sides that did the playing.

Never Saw Such Kissing

Everett P. Ketcham told new cpl
sodes of the "soul kiss" in opposing
his wife's action for separation be-
fore Justice Blanchard in the Su-
preme Court recently in New York
Whenever Mrs. Ada Brown Ketcham
came near him, he said, she gave him
"soul kiss" "She Stunned me
unless she was kissing me-" he de-
clared.
Mrs. Becky Wilson, the negro
housekeeper who had managed Ket-
cham's home at No. 12O West 122d
street before his marriage, testified
that she had seen the then Miss
Brown kissing Ketcham at dinners
when Mrs. Ada Denyce Brown, her
mother, was present. In particular
Mrs. Wilson remembered one dinner
not long before the marriage of
Ketcham and Miss Brown.
II had brought in the SOUP" she
said, "and they sat right close to
each other, kissing-just one long
kiss, no stopping. Then l brought

The son had one of the most honor

Confederacy-a college professor, a
member of the Mississippi Legisla-
ture, a Congressman, the Southern
Commissioner to Russia, again a col
lege professor and again member
of Congress, Senator, Cleveland's
Secretary of the Interior, and an as
sociate justice of the Supreme
Court. The most pleasant event
associated with his name, however,
is his famous speech in the House of
Representatives on April %, 1874, in
eulogy of the deceased Senator from
Massachusetts,, Charles Sumner-a
performance which causes all citi-
zens of Boston to think with respect
of the name he bore. The speech
moved the whole country profoundly,
yet nothing but a perfunctory ad-
dress had been expected. Other

About The Lamars

The death of Justice Joseph
Rucker Lamar reminds the public of
the contributions which have been
made to the history Of this country
by various representatives of the
distinguished Georgia family with
which he was connected. In an un-
guarded hour the privilege of con-
ferring names upon the children of
the family was granted to an eccen-
trio relative, and as a result the
family history of the Lamars is
studded with classical and historical
praenomens just as certain region
in central Europe looks as if the con-
tents of the classical atlas had been
spilled upon it. There were Lucius
Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar, the
elder, and Lucius Quintus Cincin-

days Of auld lang syne.

The friends of youth seem dearer
than the friends we know to-day,
The world was brighter, lighter in
the years of faraway;
The blossoms on the orchard trees a
subtler fragrance blew,
And all the roses seemed to wear
rarer, fairer hue.
And oh, the joys of yesterday are
deeper grown with time,
Our ancient woes are sweetened,
olden sorrows made sublime;
And all the dreams that seemed to
die, the things that could not be,
The prayers of life unanswered, still
live on in memory.
To-day may bring US happiness, to-
morrow lure US on,
But something ever turns our hearts
to other days long gone.
And blessed is the life which sees
through recollection's haze
The tenderness and sweetness of its
hallowed yesterdays.
