WASHINGTON, WARREN COUNTY, N. J., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19,1803. SUBSCRIPTION: $1.50 PER YEAR. 1 A Larger Clock Case Works to Succeed the Old. SCHILLING MAY BUILD Cordial and Practical Encouragement of Citizens Largely Responsible. Washington Manufacturing Works Sold to Mr. Pelly-lle Wilt Resume Work Soon. The creator pirt of laat week's edi- tion of the STAK contained the good news that Harris & Harrington of New York had decided to rebnild their olock case factory in Washington, but upon a largerpcale. , . • • We stated In brief that tho huslnesa men and property owners of Washing- ton had subscribed, almoat spontane- ously, n sufficient sum, aa evidence of appreciation of tb« value of the insti- tution In our mldi t, to induce the firm to rebuild here inBtead of accepting possibly more tamptlng offers from other placts. Ic was doubtless recog- nized by them, however, that few other locations possess as many advan- tages as Washington. It ia essentially a woodworking town; low rents and low living make labor cheaper than in most other places; the railroad facili- ties are good ; coal is considerably oheaper than at other points, and their workmen are comfortably located in oar midst and disinclined to move. Mr. J. A. Lundy, who will retain the management of the plant, and Mr. Willard Alleger have, during the past few days, made drafts of the new build- ings, which will include a three-story factory building 43 x 128; a dry kiln of three compartments 13 z 40, and a brick boiler room separate from the other buildlnga. The plant complete with engine, boiler and machinery will involve an outlay of about $15,000, The new location is the Alleger lob adjacent to Jackson avenue and bound- ed on the north by Hahn street, on the south by Brown alley and on tho west by School street, being approximately 150 x 250 feat. It immediately adjoins the main line of the Lackawanim ro:id. The common council last Monday night gave the clock company the right to cross the adjicent street with a switch from the railroad. The locu- tion ia ideal from every standpoint. It is understood that Mrs. E. W. Alleger, through her son, made an even ex- change of this property for the lot on Broad street, whoro the old factory stood. It is generally regarded as a good deal all around. It is probablH that the building of the new fact >ry wilt be begun just as soon as the material can be gotten together and the weather will permit of operations. The rebuilding of the clock factory here and upon a largir Bcale means the retention of practical/y all t*ie old em- ployees and the incoming of many ad- .;- diticna! mechanics, : - -.••- " THE SCUILUNU WOKKS. ••- - :-..Whpn our hiinincGO Interests took up the scheme of encouragement, the clock case factory and the Schilling works were considered jointly and proportionatn aid: wns promised both concerns. While Messrs. Harris & Harrington were not long in giving their acceptance, Mr. Schilling and his associates gave no positive reply until Monday, when they declared they had decided to purchase and operate the old canning factory in Bloomsbury, which had been offered at a low price and upon easy terms. The fact that this factory could Boon be put in operation was one of the pe- culiar temptations to buy. Since then, however, they have reconsidered the , matter and it Is still probable that they will build in Washington. Like their companions in misfortune, tbey will provide for more space, in order to en- able them to increase the output of their products, the demand always having been far in excess of the supply. No location bas its yet been chosen looking to the re-establishment of the industry here. It is to be hoped that definite plans may be decided upon and that preparations for building a new factory in Washington may soon be under way. . We have been authoritivoly inform- ed that should this project fail, so far as Washington is concerned, other parties stand ready to build and operate a factory of the same charactsr. PIANO HACK FACTORY SOUL After a long, continuous and unself- ish effort on the part of disinterested ^parties, the differences between J. Edward Davis and Robert M. Petty, partners, trading as the Washington Manufacturing Oo., were, adjusted ou Monday night. By terms of che settle- ment, Mr. Petty becomes owner of the , plant, formerly the Bowlby organ factory, together -'with tho stock and ; good will ofthe business, the funda in the hands of the receiver, and nil ac- counts due. (the laBt two amounting to about $12,000) less the expenses of che eaid receivership. The price paid was about $lG,000.i_This makes the cost of the plant proper about $5,000, the original purchase price; the only in- debtedness la a mortgage for 54,000. : Of "course, this deal cannot go through unless ; tho Chancery court dissolves the receivership, and there seemB no reason now why this Bliould not be done. AsBOonas the matter is 'settled, Mr. Petty will resume the manufacturing of piano backs with his brother, Mr, Jacob M. Petty, iucon- trol. The people 1 will hail this settle- ment with delight, as,.the resumption -rroi the buslneBS"wlll"give"empl6yment to aboht sixty hande.•-..-. '•: ,•: : S"' . Mr. Davis.haa not altogether decided apon his future course, bat it is his intentions to either build hero or In the West and continue the manufacture of the same product on his own ac- count. It is to be hoped that he will remain in our midst. The Demurrer Sustained, A decision was rendered ia the Court of Chancery on Friday last In thn caao of Bristol and wife against Skerry & On., who are conducting the worsted mills at Ob mice water, and which case wan argued before the court on the first day of the February term by Smith & Brady for the com- plainants and William A. Stryker for the defendants, sustaining the demur- rer pnt in by counsel for the defend- ants to the bill of complainants on the ground of mlsjolnder of husband and wife. . Anna O. Bristol and Samuel A. Bris- tol, her huaband, died n bill charging that the defendants by Increasing thti helgbth of their mill dam have caused the waters to flow back npon the lands of Mrs. Bristol, and seeking an in- junction compelling the defendants to lower their dam to its former heighth. The defendants demurred to the bill because the husband waB murle a party complainant-, when It dfd not appear in the bill that he had any in- terest to the matters In disnut". In the syllahus of the opinion died, the court holds that since the passage of Her. 11 of the Married Woman's act, a wife may bring a suit for the protection of her property, In her own name, without joining her husband mn party to the Buit, Thin Rtatute enables the wife to Bae as a feme aolf, but dors not require her to do so. If she desirea to make her husband a party to the soil-, Bhe rauBt follow the motif) of procedure observed before the adoption of Sac. 11, and sne by her next friend. It is a mlfljolnder to make him co- complainant with his wife. The court then concludes that the demurrer must therefore be sustained on the ground of the mipjoinder of the husband as co-cntnplainant with his wife, with costs to the defendants.

LOCOMOTIVES WRECKED Local Pflggenger and Drill Engine Collide oa the Switch at Phi I lips burg. One Engineer and Baggage-master Hurt—Pas stagers In Panic—None Mu:h Injured. Fewer Gallons; Weara Longer." Fewer Gallons; Wenra Longer.^;. Failure on the part of Engineer John Keenan of train 403, a local pas- senger between Hoboken and Easton, to heed his printed instructions, caused a bead-on collision between the locomo- tive ofthe passenger and a drill engine Monday forenoon. The colllson oc- curred at the eastern limit of the Phil- lipsburg yards, about a mile from the citation. That there was not an appal- ling disaster is no dour-t due to the fact that the train had begun to slow down for the Pnillipflhurg atnp. The LackawHnna Is double-tracked for about a mile east from Phillip* burg, tbe double track ending just at tbe east side of tbe hill through which a cnt la made to reach the station. At tbe point where the tracks merge, a switch is etitionfd and tbe main track Is tbe one used by east bound trains. Tbe official time tables in the hands of employes contain an Instruction at the foot ofthe table which reads aa follows: "The doable track extends about one mile east of Philllpsburg, E^et bound trains have right of way. Weet bound trains muet slow down and make the switch at the end of the double track, taking right track." On Monday a drill train was shifting oarB in the yards and was using tbe main track and a switch about one- hand red yards west of tbe double track switch. Tbe double track Bwltch is always left set for the main track and muet be opened for a west bound train to enter the right track. When Engineer Keenan approached the switch he was making R run of between twenty and twenty-five miles an hour, and made no effort to rpduce his Bpeed. Conductor Henry Hoffman, who had the train in charge, quickly realized , the situation and > gavn the engineer the Blgnal to stop, three times in rapid succession. Tbe signal came too late, as the train bad passed the firstswitch and was entering tbe one on which the drill enpine was working. S -eing his blunder, Keenan reversed his engine, applied the air brake.and he and the fireman jumped from the cab. Tbe velocity ofthe train waB too great to bechecked so quickly, and the engine and train were sent against the drill engine with terrific force. The pilots on both locomotives were smashed to smithereens, and the crowns of both boilers were maBhed In, and tbe boiler on the drill train was cracked. Several boxcars were damag. ed about the couplings. The engineer ofthe'drill; John Myersof Phlllipa- burg, was moving backward slowly and did not see hiB danger nntil it was too late to jump, and he was badly sclded. He was taken to his home and though bis injuries are very pain- ful they are not serious. John L. Johnson, a brake man on tbe drill, was slightly inj tired but he continued at work. The passengers were thrown into a panic. No one of them was seriously hurt and but two or three received scratches bnt everyone was badly frightened. - In the Beeorid baggage "and' express car was Gfiorge Bowden, the baggage- master. When the collison occurred he was thrown violently to the floor and received injuries which owing to his age it is feared may prove very serious. Mr. Bowden bad been crippled before, being a veteran in the employ of the company. He was taken ID a hospital in Baatou. Mr. N. P.. Buller of Parkside, Pa., was In the first express car with ten cans of live trout which he was taking to a point. In Pennsylvania to stock a stream. ' He was thrown by the flhock and received an injury to hislefbhand. Tbe wreck as stated abovo was due to the failure of Engineer Keenan to observe the rules of the rood as printed on the time-table. Mr. Keenan Is a man about thirty-five years oldand has been in the.servlcfl of the company for Beveral yeartC"He formerly had an engine on this division, but was transferred to another division. Mon- day was his first trip over the Philiips- burg branch for five years and it proved a very sorry one, yet lifter all a mos£ fortunate one in the end. Schmoyer Xow In Jail.

Were Walking Ihc Tracks and Had Juat Stepped Prom Ia Front of Another Train. - An accident which resulted in the serioue injury of both Mr. and Mrs. Charles Halght of Delaware Water Gap, and from which both may die occurred noar Parker's Bridge near Delaware Water Gap last Sunday about 4:10 p. m. , • - Mr. and Mrs. Haighthad gone for a walk down the track'as was an ordinarg occurrence with them on Sunday afternoons, As they neared Parker's Bridge on their return home they met a westbonnd freight train. Tbey stepped to one side until the train had passed and then Btepped upon the euutbuund track. Jutt as they bad gotten back to tbe track an extra fast freight dashed around tbe curve and they bad been struck and hurled from tbe track before tbey knew they were In danger. The train waa stopped and the in- jured man and woman picked up by the crew and placed in a nearby shanty, while the engineer and .flreir jn cut the engine loose and ran into the Water Clap for a physician. After a doctor had been hurried to tho scono It waB decided to take Mr. and Mrs. Haigfct to their home and call other doctors to aid in dressing the injuries. Wbentbe examination of Mr. Halght'tj injuries was made It waB found that he bad sustained a compound fracture of the bones of the lower third of the leg, and also a fracture of tbe thigh bone near the hip joint. Amputation may become necessary. Mrs. Halght's iDjurles are more serious, and; may prove fatal. She sustained a concussion of the brain, a blood clot on the right side of tbe brain and contusions about the bead and face. Paralysis off tbe left side followed her injuries. Her skull may possibly have to be trepaned.

The corner's jnry empanelled to in- vestigate the Westfield wreck, re- turned their verdict last Saturday. ID exonerates the railroad company and lays the blame on James N. Davis, the engineer of the express train that caused the trouble. If it was Davis' mistake, he has already paid for it With his life. . Briefly stated, the jury findB that tbe block signals all worked properly on the evening of the wreck; that Davis disregarded both the block signals and signals of aVrakeman; that Davis 1 engine was possibly defective and that escaping steam might have been the cause of the engineer's ap- parent negligence. Should Again Bo Elected." 1 ".""' It Is a pleasure for the STAR to announce that Mr. Jos. It. Thatcher has signified his willingness to stand for re-election as free- holder. He was elected by the voters of tbla borough three years ago a^vachutn- plon of good ronds, and bis conduct from tbe beginning of the term to the present time has more than justified the choice. He was first to enter the wedge for per- manent road improvements, and to bis un- tiring efforts can be credited tho progress Warren county has thus far made in'-'- - Ihiu -Hue. But aside from this, Mr. Thatcher bas been as good a freo- holder, if not the best, the borough Use ever had. While always guarding tbe borough's Interests, he cannot be charged with undue favoritism in this respect. No member of the board has kept In closer touch with its whole workings and no member hns. shown a broader and more liberal attitude toward toe Interests of other sections of the county. Ho has bon untiring In his effrrts to promote tho general good and consequently he is held u high esteem by bis fellow members. Mr. Thatcher not ODly deserves re-elec- tion but bo should have no nnmpetitor. A man who has proven so effluent and so faithful to his trust deserves unmistakable evidence of public tiDproval and it cin he shown in no better way than by according him an unanimous election. , A Great Hveut.

MORE FIRE HOSE BOUGHT Council Gives Order Monday for 1,000 Feet of the Best in the Market. 'Twill Cost $800-Mr. Lundy Makes a Neat Contribution to Firemen's Relief Fund. The borough council held an ad- journed Besaion In tbo council room TaeBday evening, The principal object of tbe seeelon was to pnrcbase 1,000 feet of hose for tbe Fire Department. The mayor and nil of the cuuncllmen were present ex- cept Mr. Stevens, and thuy lost no time in getting down to business. Three hoso manufacturing concerne bad representatives on tho gronnd tt look after their interests, SB follows: The Fabric Fire Hose Uo. of New York, Toe Boston Woven Hose &Rubber Oo, and The Eureka Hose Oo. Tnelr propositions were not greatly different aa to tbe coBt and tbe matter of tbe reilabllty of the firms and tbe quality of tbe nose offered became the important questions : Tne Fabric Fire Hose CJ. was rep- resented by Mr. Benedict, who has been aelling tire bose for eighteen years, and who eold tbe last hose oought by tbe borough. The offer of ail tbe compiniea so far as the guarantae was concerned, were practically tbe same. . Tbey offered to jnanre tbe bose to stand a pressure of 400 pounds per sqaare inuh, and to last for 60 montbe, provided lc be dried f iroperly alter uae and benotlbjured a Qre. Tbe two qualities: offered were a plain fabrfc bO3« and what la termed a gum and wax treated hese. The lit- ter kind is tbe name as is used by tbe United States Nivy Department on all war vessels. Tne advantages claimed for this kind over tbe plain fabric hoae Is, that it dries quicker and is teas apt to mildew. After discussing the merits of the different qualities offered and the com- pany offering to furnish; the hose, it was decided unanimously that the pur- chase should be ofthe btst quality. A vote was then taken on tbe desirable company and it likewise resulted in a unanimous choice of the The Fabric Fire Hose Oo.'a product. Tae councilmen were aided In their selection byopiniona from Obief Raed- er Smith and ex-Cniei'Carpenter. Both gentlemen stated tbat tbey regarded gum and wax treated hose the desir- able kind t) purchase. A motion was sustained giving the clerk authority to order 1,000 feet of gum and wax treated hose at 80 centa per foot, and directing tbat tbe pur- chase be made of The Fabric Fire Hose Company of New York. Mr. Benedict, the company's agant, thereupon pre- eentsd u contract; from his: company made in accordance with tbe demands of tbe council and it was eigned by the clork and mayor., for' thoborouga and by. Mr. Benedict for the company. Under iia provision the hose will be furnished at a very early date on board car in the borough, with all charges prepaid. The paymentof the purchase price will not be made until Dec. 20Sb, thus putting it op the new budget, and making it unnecessary to borrow funds to meet the payment. No in- terest will be charged on the debt by the hose company. , ..The boas purchaoGd-ia exactly like that now in use by tbe Steamer Oo. and is made by ti?e same company. The fact that some of it bas been in use since 1883 is pretty positive proof that the council did not make a mistake in buying more of tbe same kind from the same company. While ihe council was considering the needs of the Steamer Co., Chief Snith asked tbat the company, be granted permission to increase it num- ber by adding ten men, thus making the lire department roll contain tifty instead of forty names. He stated tbat tbe need waB an urgent one owing to the necessity of fire police whose duty shall be to keep the crowd back out of tha way at flres.-i^He said that the original department had been dimin- ished by persons moving away, and that tbe force was inadequate to attend, to the police duties and light fire alsdr The council granted the request and the departments will be increased at once. Tbe clerk suggested that under the borough law it was incumbent upon the officials of the borough to submit estimates on the amount of money needed in the respective depart- ments of government for the ex- penses of the coming year. . He^tated tnat under the prtBent" nBsesBment there is approximately $9,000 collected and turntsa into tao treasury. Of this, $7,000 comes from property taxes and $2,000 from licenses and other sources. Each department must make its ac- count separata and itemize it, and the ettlmates must be'published either by postern or publication in a newspaper. The clerk was requested to furnish tbe members of the council with statements of the expenses for the past six yeare, in order tiiat they may have some guid- ance in preparing their estimates., ; -The question of t-he corporate name of the borough waBraised by a;,motion being suatained to taka up the resolu- tion presented May the 5th, 1902. It was unanimously voted that the corpo- rate name of the borough bo'} changed from "The Inhabitants of the BiVough of Washington" <to..V'Tbe Berougb of Washington." This' settles -tho : qasa-' tion that the election of the borough thia year will b? held under the bor- ough Jaw.-and will therefore include mayor, BIX councilmen, assessor, col- lector, one or more justices, a chosen freeholder and three commiealonera of appeal. Tbe election will occur March 10th. Mr. J. A. Lundy, for Harris & Har- rington, presented a petition praying for an ordinance granting tbe petition- ers the right to lay and construct a Bwitch through and across tbe streets and alleys of tbe horoueh from the main line of tbe D., L & W. railway to their new factory alto on tbe Alleger t ti ot Hb tt their new factory alto on tbe Alleger property, tying oetween Hibn street, Brown alley and Jackson aven and tho road alongside tbe railroad. Th d l t h ill J The proposed Bwltch will cross Jack- son avenue, starting from tbo Ssran- ton division about half way between the tower and Jackson avenue and will extend southeast to the factory site. In order that the petitioners might have some idea of tbe possible out- come, a Btraw vote todetermine tbe sentiment of council was taken showing a unanimous Bentiment In favor of the petition. Tho bwitch la intended to live thefirma chance to run cars to heir factory and thus avoid cartage. While Mr. Lundy was In the council room he gave the Steamer bovBa pleasant surprise by making a gener- ous contribution to their relief fund as a mark of appreciation for their valiant though futile attempt to sive bis prop- erty at the recent fire. The Set am or bojawere duly appre.iative and feel deeply the meaning of Mr. Lundy'e act.

JUST'SUPPOSE. . Spring is rapidly approaching and with it will come questions of borough improvement, just aa tbe question of house cleaning will again confront us. There are som9 things which all of U9 recognize as essential to our bor- ough's welfare. Bat like a great many of our faults and bad habits, as indi- viduals, we fall to remedy them. Our streets are generally good. Shado trees areabundant and add beauty to the borough in tbeir season. Wa have one of the best-appearing business thoroughfares to be found anywhere. But, too, we have some things we need added and some Te need subtracted. For instance, we>re sure that portions of the borough^have sidewalks sorely iu need of replacing. Dnes tbe one in frontof your lot need it? Don't look after your neighbor's ; we are inquir- ing about your own. If it does, can't you arrange to, repair it this spring? The law requires the officers to have it dorm nt your espense if you don't do it; but we feel tbat very few of our citizens have such a lack of pride that they will wait for that. Have it done yourself and don't put it off. It bene- fits you and beautifies tbe town. Now, as to the subtraction. Did you ever stand at the past-office and look east on Washington avenue? The view presented does not appear artistic, to say the least. Why ? Because the view is marred by a lob of long, un- canny signboards reaching over the sidewalk. Now thia is not a criticism on any individual; we are discussing the prevailing cuatom.:.It would not be fair to ask one man to use a smaller sign than bis competitor, nor to refuse him the privilege of puttlrg it up across the walk if his competitor does. Bat suppose no one was allowed to ex- tend a sign over the walk? Then no onu would be injured. Suppose all signs were required to be nude accord- ing to certain rules and suspended by an iron arm immediatgly over or at tbe side of the door above a prescribed height, who would be injured? You don't win trade by a big painted board, but you win it by unalloyed business merit in tbe long run. Suppose wo think this matter over, Suppose we try the plan. Suppose we take down the signs. !

It was decided, owing to numerous petitions before tbe beard, tbat tbe p&tttloiiu should be considered on the basis of priority of Ollng. Tho petition for the following BWtlons of road were held, BOfficIent and tbe roads ordered: Three milea and a half in Greenwich township In two section3 aa follows: One section commencing at the Morris turnpike and running thence south through StewartBVille, beinga distance of one mile; another section begins at tbe Lutheran' cemetery and running west through Stewartsville, on tbe road leading to Pbillipiburg and ex- tending to Iosley's corner, a distance of twj and one-half mllep. One and a quarter milea la Pohft- cong township, being a piece eztend- ingfrom InBlwy's corner tithe Lopat- cong township line near Shimer's cor- ner, and almost completing the line of stone road to Philllpsburg. Three mileB in Oxford township ex- tending from Belvldere, taking a south- westerly course to Rocksburg. IndcpondoncotownBhip four and 026- half miles, being all in one Bectlonand beginning at Hacfeettstown and follow- ing a northwesterly direction to Dan- ville. The Board ordered the survey of the remainder of the unimproved Bection of the Morris turnpike to Lopatcong township. When this is macadamized the road will be completed from Port Colden to Phillipsburjr:" ~ The proposed,' road is three and & half mlleain length and will require considerable cutting and filling, but will be a very import- ant road when complete. Had the Board held strictly to date of filiiig.-Franklin and Washington townsbips'wnuld have had precedence over one or two sections ordered, but they went on a broader policy, that of tbe needs of tbe county, and selected those sections which help to complete long stretches of road along much used highways. The .tendency of tha boards of tbe State is to construct all roads with a view to bringing about an organizad Hvntfim pf road? for,the.whole State, connecting tbe principal towns. Mansfield township is now in a posi- tion to build a very nsefnl section of roa& If that townBhip will come out of its lethargy, and construct the sec- tion of road through its borders, con- necting the improved sections of the Morris turnpike, there will be a stone road from Easton, to Jersey Oity. As is well known, the State bears 33.^ per cent, of tbe burden, the county 56? per cant, and the towDBhip in which the road is located bears tbe remaining 10 per cent. The sentiment of the Board was .strongly.in- favor of mac- adam roads, and they favor building ten to fifteen miles each year. Such a policy will soon put the county in tine condition so far as her roads are con- cerned and good roads mean more valnable farms. * The Board re-appointed Mr. George Appletnan as j initor of the court house aud made his compensation $40 par month for the entire year.

1A Larger Clock Case Works to

Succeed the Old.

SCHILLING MAY BUILDCordial and Practical Encouragement of

Citizens Largely Responsible.

Washington Manufacturing Works Sold to Mr.Pelly-lle Wilt Resume Work Soon.

The creator p i r t of laat week's edi-tion of the STAK contained the goodnews that Harris & Harrington of NewYork had decided to rebnild their olockcase factory in Washington, but upona largerpcale. , . • •

We stated In brief that tho huslnesamen and property owners of Washing-ton had subscribed, almoat spontane-ously, n sufficient sum, aa evidence ofappreciation of tb« value of the insti-tution In our mldi t, to induce the firmto rebuild here inBtead of acceptingpossibly more tamptlng offers fromother placts. Ic was doubtless recog-nized by them, however, that few otherlocations possess as many advan-tages as Washington. It ia essentiallya woodworking town; low rents andlow living make labor cheaper than inmost other places; the railroad facili-ties are good ; coal is considerablyoheaper than at other points, and theirworkmen are comfortably located inoar midst and disinclined to move.

Mr. J. A. Lundy, who will retain themanagement of the plant, and Mr.Willard Alleger have, during the pastfew days, made drafts of the new build-ings, which will include a three-storyfactory building 43 x 128; a dry kilnof three compartments 13 z 40, and abrick boiler room separate from theother buildlnga. The plant completewith engine, boiler and machinery willinvolve an outlay of about $15,000,

The new location is the Alleger lobadjacent to Jackson avenue and bound-ed on the north by Hahn street, on thesouth by Brown alley and on tho westby School street, being approximately150 x 250 feat. It immediately adjoinsthe main line of the Lackawanim ro:id.The common council last Mondaynight gave the clock company theright to cross the adjicent street witha switch from the railroad. The locu-tion ia ideal from every standpoint. Itis understood that Mrs. E. W. Alleger,through her son, made an even ex-change of this property for the lot onBroad street, whoro the old factorystood. It is generally regarded as agood deal all around.

It is probablH that the buildingof the new fact >ry wilt be begun justas soon as the material can be gottentogether and the weather will permitof operations.

The rebuilding of the clock factoryhere and upon a largir Bcale means theretention of practical/y all t*ie old em-ployees and the incoming of many ad-

.;- diticna! mechanics, • : - -.••- "

THE SCUILUNU WOKKS.••- - :-..Whpn our hiinincGO Interests took up

the scheme of encouragement, theclock case factory and the Schillingworks were considered jointly andproportionatn aid: wns promised bothconcerns. While Messrs. Harris &Harrington were not long in givingtheir acceptance, Mr. Schilling and hisassociates gave no positive reply untilMonday, when they declared they haddecided to purchase and operate theold canning factory in Bloomsbury,which had been offered at a low priceand upon easy terms.

The fact that this factory could Boonbe put in operation was one of the pe-culiar temptations to buy. Since then,however, they have reconsidered the

, matter and it Is still probable that theywill build in Washington. Like theircompanions in misfortune, tbey willprovide for more space, in order to en-able them to increase the output oftheir products, the demand alwayshaving been far in excess of the supply.No location bas its yet been chosenlooking to the re-establishment of theindustry here. It is to be hoped thatdefinite plans may be decided uponand that preparations for building anew factory in Washington may soonbe under way.. We have been authoritivoly inform-

ed that should this project fail, so faras Washington is concerned, otherparties stand ready to build andoperate a factory of the same charactsr.

PIANO HACK FACTORY SOULAfter a long, continuous and unself-

ish effort on the part of disinterested^parties, the differences between J.

Edward Davis and Robert M. Petty,partners, trading as the WashingtonManufacturing Oo., were, adjusted ouMonday night. By terms of che settle-ment, Mr. Petty becomes owner of the

, plant, formerly the Bowlby organfactory, together -'with tho stock and

; good will ofthe business, the funda inthe hands of the receiver, and nil ac-counts due. (the laBt two amounting toabout $12,000) less the expenses of cheeaid receivership. The price paid wasabout $lG,000.i_This makes the cost ofthe plant proper about $5,000, theoriginal purchase price; the only in-debtedness la a mortgage for 54,000.

: Of "course, this deal cannot gothrough unless ; tho Chancery courtdissolves the receivership, and thereseemB no reason now why this Bliouldnot be done. AsBOonas the matter is

'settled, Mr. Petty will resume themanufacturing of piano backs with hisbrother, Mr, Jacob M. Petty, iu con-trol. The people1 will hail this settle-ment with delight, as,.the resumption

-rroi the buslneBS"wlll"give"empl6ymentto aboht sixty hande.•-..-. '•: ,•: : S"'. Mr. Davis.haa not altogether decided

apon his future course, bat it is hisintentions to either build hero or Inthe West and continue the manufactureof the same product on his own ac-count. It is to be hoped that he willremain in our midst.

The Demurrer Sustained,A decision was rendered ia the

Court of Chancery on Friday last Inthn caao of Bristol and wife againstSkerry & On., who are conducting theworsted mills at Ob mice water, andwhich case wan argued before thecourt on the first day of the Februaryterm by Smith & Brady for the com-plainants and William A. Stryker forthe defendants, sustaining the demur-rer pnt in by counsel for the defend-ants to the bill of complainants on theground of mlsjolnder of husband andwife. .

Anna O. Bristol and Samuel A. Bris-tol, her huaband, died n bill chargingthat the defendants by Increasing thtihelgbth of their mill dam have causedthe waters to flow back npon the landsof Mrs. Bristol, and seeking an in-junction compelling the defendants tolower their dam to its former heighth.The defendants demurred to the billbecause the husband waB murle aparty complainant-, when It dfd notappear in the bill that he had any in-terest to the matters In disnut". Inthe syllahus of the opinion died, thecourt holds that since the passage ofHer. 11 of the Married Woman's act, awife may bring a suit for the protectionof her property, In her own name,without joining her husband mn partyto the Buit, Thin Rtatute enables thewife to Bae as a feme aolf, but dors notrequire her to do so. If she desirea tomake her husband a party to the soil-,Bhe rauBt follow the motif) of procedureobserved before the adoption of Sac.11, and sne by her next friend.

It is a mlfljolnder to make him co-complainant with his wife.

The court then concludes that thedemurrer must therefore be sustainedon the ground of the mipjoinder of thehusband as co-cntnplainant with hiswife, with costs to the defendants.

Failure on the part of EngineerJohn Keenan of train 403, a local pas-senger between Hoboken and Easton,to heed his printed instructions, causeda bead-on collision between the locomo-tive ofthe passenger and a drill engineMonday forenoon. The colllson oc-curred at the eastern limit of the Phil-lipsburg yards, about a mile from thecitation. That there was not an appal-ling disaster is no dour-t due to thefact that the train had begun to slowdown for the Pnillipflhurg atnp.

The LackawHnna Is double-trackedfor about a mile east from Phillip*burg, tbe double track ending just attbe east side of tbe hill through whicha cnt la made to reach the station. Attbe point where the tracks merge, aswitch is etitionfd and tbe main trackIs tbe one used by east bound trains.Tbe official time tables in the hands ofemployes contain an Instruction at thefoot ofthe table which reads aa follows:"The doable track extends about onemile east of Philllpsburg, E^et boundtrains have right of way. Weet boundtrains muet slow down and make theswitch at the end of the double track,taking right track."

On Monday a drill train was shiftingoarB in the yards and was using tbemain track and a switch about one-hand red yards west of tbe doubletrack switch. Tbe double track Bwltchis always left set for the main trackand muet be opened for a west boundtrain to enter the right track. WhenEngineer Keenan approached theswitch he was making R run ofbetween twenty and twenty-five milesan hour, and made no effort to rpducehis Bpeed. Conductor Henry Hoffman,who had the train in charge, quicklyrealized , the situation and > gavn theengineer the Blgnal to stop, three timesin rapid succession. Tbe signal cametoo late, as the train bad passed thefirstswitch and was entering tbe oneon which the drill enpine was working.S -eing his blunder, Keenan reversedhis engine, applied the air brake.andhe and the fireman jumped from thecab. Tbe velocity ofthe train waB toogreat to be checked so quickly, andthe engine and train were sentagainst the drill engine with terrificforce. The pilots on both locomotiveswere smashed to smithereens, and thecrowns of both boilers were maBhed In,and tbe boiler on the drill train wascracked. Several boxcars were damag.ed about the couplings. The engineerofthe'drill; John Myersof Phlllipa-burg, was moving backward slowlyand did not see hiB danger nntil it wastoo late to jump, and he was badlysclded. He was taken to his homeand though bis injuries are very pain-ful they are not serious. John L.Johnson, a brake man on tbe drill,was slightly in j tired but he continuedat work.

The passengers were thrown into apanic. No one of them was seriouslyhurt and but two or three receivedscratches bnt everyone was badlyfrightened.- In the Beeorid baggage "and' expresscar was Gfiorge Bowden, the baggage-master. When the collison occurredhe was thrown violently to the floorand received injuries which owing tohis age it is feared may prove veryserious. Mr. Bowden bad beencrippled before, being a veteran in theemploy of the company. He was takenID a hospital in Baatou.

Mr. N. P.. Buller of Parkside, Pa.,was In the first express car with tencans of live trout which he was takingto a point. In Pennsylvania to stock astream. ' He was thrown by the flhockand received an injury to hislefbhand.

Tbe wreck as stated abovo was dueto the failure of Engineer Keenan toobserve the rules of the rood as printedon the time-table. Mr. Keenan Is aman about thirty-five years old andhas been in the.servlcfl of the companyfor Beveral yeartC"He formerly hadan engine on this division, but wastransferred to another division. Mon-day was his first trip over the Philiips-burg branch for five years and itproved a very sorry one, yet lifter alla mos£ fortunate one in the end.

"- Dead Man Gets Blame.The corner's jnry empanelled to in-

vestigate the Westfield wreck, re-turned their verdict last Saturday. IDexonerates the railroad company andlays the blame on James N. Davis, theengineer of the express train thatcaused the trouble. If it was Davis'mistake, he has already paid for itWith his life. .

Briefly stated, the jury findB thattbe block signals all worked properlyon the evening of the wreck; thatDavis disregarded both the blocksignals and signals of aVrakeman; thatDavis1 engine was possibly defectiveand that escaping steam might havebeen the cause of the engineer's ap-parent negligence. •

Should Again Bo Elected."1".""'It Is a pleasure for the STAR to announce

that Mr. Jos. It. Thatcher has signified hiswillingness to stand for re-election as free-holder. He was elected by the voters oftbla borough three years ago a^vachutn-plon of good ronds, and bis conduct fromtbe beginning of the term to the presenttime has more than justified the choice.He was first to enter the wedge for per-manent road improvements, and to bis un-tiring efforts can be credited tho progressWarren county has thus far madein'-'- - Ihiu -Hue. But aside from this,Mr. Thatcher bas been as good a freo-holder, if not the best, the borough Useever had. While always guarding tbeborough's Interests, he cannot be chargedwith undue favoritism in this respect. Nomember of the board has kept In closertouch with its whole workings and nomember hns. shown a broader and moreliberal attitude toward toe Interests ofother sections of the county. Ho has bo nuntiring In his effrrts to promote thogeneral good and consequently he is heldu high esteem by bis fellow members.

Mr. Thatcher not ODly deserves re-elec-tion but bo should have no nnmpetitor. Aman who has proven so effluent and sofaithful to his trust deserves unmistakableevidence of public tiDproval and it cin heshown in no better way than by accordinghim an unanimous election. ,

MORE FIRE HOSE BOUGHTCouncil Gives Order Monday for 1,000

Feet of the Best in the Market.

'Twill Cost $800-Mr. Lundy Makes a NeatContribution to Firemen's Relief Fund.

The borough council held an ad-journed Besaion In tbo council roomTaeBday evening,

The principal object of tbe seeelonwas to pnrcbase 1,000 feet of hose fortbe Fire Department. The mayor andnil of the cuuncllmen were present ex-cept Mr. Stevens, and thuy lost notime in getting down to business.Three hoso manufacturing concernebad representatives on tho gronnd t tlook after their interests, SB follows:The Fabric Fire Hose Uo. of New York,Toe Boston Woven Hose & Rubber Oo,and The Eureka Hose Oo.

Tnelr propositions were not greatlydifferent aa to tbe coBt and tbe matterof tbe reilabllty of the firms and tbequality of tbe nose offered became theimportant questions :

Tne Fabric Fire Hose CJ . was rep-resented by Mr. Benedict, who hasbeen aelling tire bose for eighteenyears, and who eold tbe last hoseoought by tbe borough.

The offer of ail tbe compiniea so faras the guarantae was concerned, werepractically tbe same. . Tbey offered tojnanre tbe bose to stand a pressure of400 pounds per sqaare inuh, and to lastfor 60 montbe, provided lc be dried

f iroperly alter uae and benotlbjureda Qre. Tbe two qualities: offered were

a plain fabrfc bO3« and what la termeda gum and wax treated hese. The lit-ter kind is tbe name as is used by tbeUnited States Nivy Department on allwar vessels. Tne advantages claimedfor this kind over tbe plain fabric hoaeIs, that it dries quicker and is teas aptto mildew.

After discussing the merits of thedifferent qualities offered and the com-pany offering to furnish; the hose, itwas decided unanimously that the pur-chase should be ofthe btst quality. Avote was then taken on tbe desirablecompany and it likewise resulted in aunanimous choice of the The FabricFire Hose Oo.'a product.

Tae councilmen were aided In theirselection byopiniona from Obief Raed-er Smith and ex-Cniei'Carpenter. Bothgentlemen stated tbat tbey regardedgum and wax treated hose the desir-able kind t ) purchase.

A motion was sustained giving theclerk authority to order 1,000 feet ofgum and wax treated hose at 80 centaper foot, and directing tbat tbe pur-chase be made of The Fabric Fire HoseCompany of New York. Mr. Benedict,the company's agant, thereupon pre-eentsd u contract; from his: companymade in accordance with tbe demandsof tbe council and it was eigned by theclork and mayor., for' thoborouga andby. Mr. Benedict for the company.Under iia provision the hose will befurnished at a very early date on boardcar in the borough, with all chargesprepaid. The paymentof the purchaseprice will not be made until Dec. 20Sb,thus putting it op the new budget,and making it unnecessary to borrowfunds to meet the payment. No in-terest will be charged on the debt bythe hose company. ,..The boas purchaoGd-ia exactly likethat now in use by tbe Steamer Oo.and is made by ti?e same company.The fact that some of it bas been in usesince 1883 is pretty positive proof thatthe council did not make a mistake inbuying more of tbe same kind fromthe same company.

While ihe council was consideringthe needs of the Steamer Co., ChiefSnith asked tbat the company, begranted permission to increase it num-ber by adding ten men, thus makingthe lire department roll contain tiftyinstead of forty names. He stated tbattbe need waB an urgent one owing tothe necessity of fire police whose dutyshall be to keep the crowd back out oftha way at flres.-i^He said that theoriginal department had been dimin-ished by persons moving away, andthat tbe force was inadequate to attend,to the police duties and light fire alsdrThe council granted the request andthe departments will be increased atonce.

Tbe clerk suggested that under theborough law it was incumbent uponthe officials of the borough to submitestimates on the amount of moneyneeded in the respective depart-ments of government for the ex-penses of the coming year. . He^tatedtnat under the prtBent" nBsesBmentthere is approximately $9,000 collectedand turntsa into tao treasury. Of this,$7,000 comes from property taxes and$2,000 from licenses and other sources.Each department must make its ac-count separata and itemize it, and theettlmates must be'published either bypostern or publication in a newspaper.The clerk was requested to furnish tbemembers of the council with statementsof the expenses for the past six yeare, inorder tiiat they may have some guid-ance in preparing their estimates.,; -The question of t-he corporate nameof the borough waB raised by a;,motionbeing suatained to taka up the resolu-tion presented May the 5th, 1902. Itwas unanimously voted that the corpo-rate name of the borough bo'} changedfrom "The Inhabitants of the BiVoughof Washington" <to..V'Tbe Berougb ofWashington." This' settles -tho :qasa-'tion that the election of the boroughthia year will b? held under the bor-ough Jaw.-and will therefore include

mayor, BIX councilmen, assessor, col-lector, one or more justices, a chosenfreeholder and three commiealonera ofappeal. Tbe election will occur March10th.

Mr. J. A. Lundy, for Harris & Har-rington, presented a petition prayingfor an ordinance granting tbe petition-ers the right to lay and construct aBwitch through and across tbe streetsand alleys of tbe horoueh from themain line of tbe D., L & W. railway totheir new factory alto on tbe Alleger

t ti ot Hb t ttheir new factory alto on tbe Allegerproperty, tying oetween Hibn street,Brown alley and Jackson avenand tho road alongside tbe railroad.

Th d l t h ill JThe proposed Bwltch will cross Jack-son avenue, starting from tbo Ssran-ton division about half way betweenthe tower and Jackson avenue and willextend southeast to the factory site.In order that the petitioners mighthave some idea of tbe possible out-come, a Btraw vote to determine tbesentiment of council was taken showinga unanimous Bentiment In favor of thepetition. Tho bwitch la intended tolive the firm a chance to run cars toheir factory and thus avoid cartage.While Mr. Lundy was In the council

room he gave the Steamer bovB apleasant surprise by making a gener-ous contribution to their relief fund asa mark of appreciation for their valiantthough futile attempt to sive bis prop-erty at the recent fire. The Set am orbojawere duly appre.iative and feeldeeply the meaning of Mr. Lundy'eact.

Councilman Gulick offered a resolu-tion calling upon Borough AltsrneyJcffery for a full report of his disposi-tion of a draft for ?383 made and order-ed paid ts J. 0. Stanley as a portion of$2,900 due from the borough t3 Mr.Stanley, together with a full report ofall his actions in relation thereto, withall maps, profile?, drawings and paperspertaining to stdd action; eaid reportto be made at the next regular meet-ing. Tbe resolution WHS passed.

William H. Wimermute asked tbecouncil fur the privilege of running astreet sprinkler and his pftllonwaugranted, his license being find nt$15.

Toe council not having pufflciunttime to take up the nu tjr of settle-ment for the year, an adjournedsession waB set for .Thursday night,Feb. lOtb, when the several officers oftbe borough will BUbmlt tbeir reportsand tbe bookB goitan ready for theauditing committee.

JUST'SUPPOSE.. Spring is rapidly approaching andwith it will come questions of boroughimprovement, just aa tbe question ofhouse cleaning will again confront us.There are som9 things which all ofU9 recognize as essential to our bor-ough's welfare. Bat like a great manyof our faults and bad habits, as indi-viduals, we fall to remedy them. Ourstreets are generally good. Shadotrees are abundant and add beauty tothe borough in tbeir season. Wa haveone of the best-appearing businessthoroughfares to be found anywhere.But, too, we have some things we needadded and some Te need subtracted.For instance, we>re sure that portionsof the borough^have sidewalks sorelyiu need of replacing. Dnes tbe one infrontof your lot need it? Don't lookafter your neighbor's ; we are inquir-ing about your own. If it does, can'tyou arrange to, repair it this spring?The law requires the officers to have itdorm nt your espense if you don't doit; but we feel tbat very few of ourcitizens have such a lack of pride thatthey will wait for that. Have it doneyourself and don't put it off. It bene-fits you and beautifies tbe town.

Now, as to the subtraction. Did youever stand at the past-office and lookeast on Washington avenue? The viewpresented does not appear artistic, tosay the least. Why ? Because theview is marred by a lob of long, un-canny signboards reaching over thesidewalk. Now thia is not a criticismon any individual; we are discussingthe prevailing cuatom.:.It would notbe fair to ask one man to use a smallersign than bis competitor, nor to refusehim the privilege of puttlrg it upacross the walk if his competitor does.Bat suppose no one was allowed to ex-tend a sign over the walk? Then noonu would be injured. Suppose allsigns were required to be nude accord-ing to certain rules and suspended byan iron arm immediatgly over or attbe side of the door above a prescribedheight, who would be injured? Youdon't win trade by a big painted board,but you win it by unalloyed businessmerit in tbe long run. Suppose wothink this matter over, Suppose wetry the plan. Suppose we take downthe signs. !

Expense—Proving Popular.tbe

Recognizing the Value of Good Roads, the De-mand Increases—Priority Observed.

Warren county will In a Tew years beIn much better condition eo far aa Itsroada are concerned than It is now, Iftbe wlae policy laid out by tbe presentBoard of Freeholders I* oarrlud o a tAt their recent meeting tbey decided-''to aid in building twelve and a halfmiles of tmcadam road daring thecoming spring and summer at an esti-mated coBt of $30,000 to $35,000. It wasdecided, owing to numerous petitionsbefore tbe beard, tbat tbe p&tttloiiushould be considered on the basis ofpriority of Ollng. Tho petition for thefollowing BWtlons of road were held,BOfficIent and tbe roads ordered:

Three milea and a half in Greenwichtownship In two section3 aa follows:One section commencing at the Morristurnpike and running thence souththrough StewartBVille, beinga distanceof one mile; another section begins attbe Lutheran' cemetery and runningwest through Stewartsville, on tberoad leading to Pbillipiburg and ex-tending to Iosley's corner, a distanceof twj and one-half mllep.

One and a quarter milea la Pohft-cong township, being a piece eztend-ingfrom InBlwy's corner t i the Lopat-cong township line near Shimer's cor-ner, and almost completing the line ofstone road to Philllpsburg.

Three mileB in Oxford township ex-tending from Belvldere, taking a south-westerly course to Rocksburg.

IndcpondoncotownBhip four and 026-half miles, being all in one Bectlonandbeginning at Hacfeettstown and follow-ing a northwesterly direction to Dan-ville.

The Board ordered the survey of theremainder of the unimproved Bectionof the Morris turnpike to Lopatcongtownship. When this is macadamizedthe road will be completed from PortColden to Phillipsburjr:" ~ The proposed,'road is three and & half mlleain lengthand will require considerable cuttingand filling, but will be a very import-ant road when complete.

Had the Board held strictly to dateof filiiig.-Franklin and Washingtontownsbips'wnuld have had precedenceover one or two sections ordered, butthey went on a broader policy, that oftbe needs of tbe county, and selectedthose sections which help to completelong stretches of road along muchused highways. The .tendency of thaboards of tbe State is to construct allroads with a view to bringing about anorganizad Hvntfim pf road? for,the.wholeState, connecting tbe principal towns.

Mansfield township is now in a posi-tion to build a very nsefnl section ofroa& If that townBhip will come outof its lethargy, and construct the sec-tion of road through its borders, con-necting the improved sections of theMorris turnpike, there will be a stoneroad from Easton, to Jersey Oity.

As is well known, the State bears 33.per cent, of tbe burden, the county 56?per cant, and the towDBhip in whichthe road is located bears tbe remaining10 per cent. The sentiment of theBoard was .strongly.in- favor of mac-adam roads, and they favor buildingten to fifteen miles each year. Such apolicy will soon put the county in tinecondition so far as her roads are con-cerned and good roads mean morevalnable farms. *

The Board re-appointed Mr. GeorgeAppletnan as j initor of the court houseaud made his compensation $40 parmonth for the entire year. Hereto-fore it bas been the custom to pay him$40 per month during tbe winter and§25,per month during the summer.

Easton's Best Dry Goods, Car-pet, Upholstery, Curtain andWomen's Cloak and Suit Store

327 to 333 Northampton St. Easton, Penna

Easton has long been recognized as the Dry

Goods trading centre of this section of the country,

but it extends a good halfway to New York and ,

Philadelphia, and from up the Lehigh Valley cus-

tomers are becoming almost as plentiful as those

from our own town. Why do they come? It is

easily answered. They are much better satisfied

with what they buy. That is the kernel in the nut-

shell. Stocks are ample for selection; prices are as

low, and often lower, than you will find in the

larger cities.

The Dry Goods stocks in Easton are larger and

better selected than those of any town in the United

States of its size, or twice its size.

If you want to buy Dry Goods to your best

satisfaction, come to Easton, and come to

THE TREASURYEssex Troop of Newark to Have

a $125,000 Armory.

PLAISFIELD ONE, TOO

The Constitutional Amendments Receive

Sanction of Both Houses.

Appropriation For asm! Roads to Be 5350,000dovernor'i Mansion Scheme Progresses'

At last the legislature la gettingdown to business and a number ofmeasures have passed both bouses, al-though none of tbem have as yet be-come laws.

Two more state boards are wanted—one to regul-ite barbers and the otherundertHfenu Toeae will create posi-tions for more frlenda of the Qjvernorandt t t ier politicians who havu a handIn dea'lDR out favors. The barber billis not intended to apply to tbose al-ready In tbe buaintea but rather t>those that are to come.

Normal BC&OOIS and armories are theorder of the day juat now and whenthe Legislature gtta done with them1b will probably leave the State treas-ury dry. Tne Republicans see plainlythat toe Damocrats are bound to comeinto power in tbe Btatj within the nexttwo years, mid there seems to be a de-termined effort to rid the treasury ofall tbe Burplus oaah. When the Dem-ocrats get into power the Republicanswill then be able to say tnat they al-ways ntid a full traasury buc that itemptiea as soon as the DamocratB getwitbln sight of tbe State control. IsIt will be well to watch matters care-fully during tbe next year in this line.

Tbe Essex troop la to have an armoryall its own over in Newark accordingto the provisions of a bill passed by theHouse, and which, if it passes the Sin-ate, will soon havtt the approval of theGovernor, I t is understood that Gov-ernor Murphy favors giving the troopan armory aB a present from the State,literally tpeakiug, at a cost or §125,000in recognition or the good work Uouoby tbe troop at Paterson during thestrike some months ago. Counting inthe cobt of maintaining the Eiaex troopatPaterson, to do cheap police duty,and the cost of the armory, it wonldhave been cheaper to have let thestrikers destroy too mills and paid tbemoney ont of tbe treasury to the own-ers. Plalnfiald, too, wants a VDO.000armory, and will probably get it. Theonly earthly use Co which St.ite armo-ries can be put ia against the peoplewho pay ttie bill. There is quiteenough militarism of the cheap orderin the Stata without increasing it bybnildinga lot of armories. Tney maybe useful to hide some ut tbe polttimusin some of thtBB days, thougn.

The Normal tjchoul movementculated to take a lot more cash out oftreasury, although far more commend-able than the armories. If t ie 3.atehas eo much money to spare it had bet-ter pay its teachera higher salaries andlet tbem secure their own educationIt would pay the best and give tbemost satisfaction in the long run.There are tco many State prcj act* intow to keep them all going without re-sorting to new menus ot taxation hithe near future, Tbe corporation ftseawill net t.l Aiiys keep up and then tberewill come & huddeii change in theState's affairs.

Governor Murphy has sent a mes-sage to the legislature lauding theseparate boards of control of the vari-ous State institutions instead of a cen-tral board of control aB has been sug-gested. Anything which ia calculatedto keep up tbe supply of appointativeoffices, to bo titled oy the Governor.

• will have1:his hearty approval. Stateoffices, of all kinds, should be electiveinstead of appoiatative, and the Gov-ernor Bbould be shorn of all power pos-sible for now and all future time.

Miller's bill increasing the numberof committeemen in townsluDS of over4,500 population passed the "bouse. Itwill effect only a few townships in thestate. Mr. Scatter ba3 a similar meas-ure which is approved by the commit-tee and which will fix the limit at 2,600population. It ia tbe purpose of tuoseinteretted in the matter Lo pass theStalter bill so as to get the additionalcommitteemen in more townships.

The bills providiug for an executivemansion and for tbe extension of thestate house grounds passed secondreading without opposition.

The bill providing for the publicaition of a synopsis of the laws in thenewspapers instead of in pamphletform passed-the senate < by a vote of 13to 3. Messrs. Cross, HutchinBOn andMinch being the opposing, votes.Messrs. Hand and Gebbardt both spokein support of the bill. Mr. Gebhardtof Hunterdon said that such a systemwould enable tbemasseo of the peopleto familiarize themsolvca with the newlaws aB they were enacted, and the ex-pense would be inconsiderable aa com-pared with the coat of publishing undertheold 6yat6mr-~At. pressntr~ber_«fl<i,comparatively few people understoocthe pamphlet publication method and'fewer still will take tbe pains to write

house and Beven the sonate, onTuua*day. The only ono of eepnotal Interestto farmers Is tno ono making 1c a mid-demeanor to wilfully Injure mtlk cans.

Tho following bills or general inter*eet wero Introduced on Monday nndTuesday In tho bouse (nono of localin tercet, aside from tboao already men*tloncdln thesonato):

Prohibits any ono except licensedattorney frcm appearing in court todefend or p'uaeca'-e an action exceptIn his own jaso or in case of an Infant.

Makes It a misdemeanor to use tboportrait or plcturoof any living personwithout written consent.

This bill appears all rijjht on Its face,but Us principal object la to protectpoliticians, and should It piss It wouldbethellrst blow by tho Republicansagain at a froe press and free Bpoecb.

Makes It a misdemeanor to play formonoywith any slot mnchlneor withany apparatus or device having ono ormorn ll^uroa thereon.

Tbe Stalter bill to Increase tbe num-ber of committeemen from three-to fiveIn townahlp9 having 1,500 or more peo-ple Is being viewed with interost. As-semblyman Miller, of Cumberlandcounty, has a similar bill before thoHouse, excepting that it provides fortownships having more than 4,500popnlation.

Senator Gebhardt of Hunterdon Ispressing his movement for tbe adoptionof* rnnolntton calling upon Oongresato submit to the people aconstltutlonalamendment providing for the electionof UuitudStates Sdn*tora by tbo pooplodirect. Of course, this measure is notpopular, either State or National, withtboR?publicanf», who see In the pres-ent system a better chance for cateringto tbe trusts than any other way.

Among the bills Introduced late lattweek were tbe following of ioteroit toNorth Jerseympn: :

Senate No. 120, providing penaltiesfor the sale of diseased nursery stockand requiring certain requirement* tobe lived up to.

Senate No. 129 amends the Qih nndgame act, providing for a fine of £50 forthe first offense and 5100 for the secondoffense and imprisonment in the countyail for not more than 60 days. Tnere

are too many game taws on the statutebooks now and the farmer who wantsto obey one law must surely violateanother.

•Justice Fort of tho Supreme Courtwas not far wrong when he said thatmost every man was more or less acriminal according to some law inforce. At the present rate of increaseit will soon be a greater crime to havea nib in one's possession that measuresa fraction of an inch out of plumb, orhas scales two shades lighter than theyBbould be, than to rob a bank. At anyrate, the poor man with the flsh getsfewer favors shown bim than the manwho sinks widows'and orphans'Bav-i g s in bank wrecking.

Sanate No. 130 provides for a regula-tion of tbe manufacture of fbur andmeal food products.

Senate No. 134 enables commoncouncils of boroughs to fill vacancieswithout the approval of mayors.

H^uae No. 142 prohibits the sale ofmilk from COWB not supplied daily withpure wat°r.

House No. 149 repeals act of April,1S99, relating to the prevention ofcruelty to animals.

FORD -FURNITURE-CARPETSCan't hardly say one without at least thinking of the others—Ford-Furniture-Carpets.

We want to tell you about the good things in Bedroom Suits we are just unpacking.

He Wantedto Gain Flesh

A Boston millionaire was verythin. Business cares nnd conse-quent nervous troubles told thestory. Hcbecameatarmed, itisaaid,and consulted a famous specialist.

" I want some flesh," he said," I am willing to pay for it. I'llgive you.5500 for every pound ofsolid healthy flesh you can put onthese bones."

It was a big price, but he couldwell afford to pay it. For unduethinness is dangerous. It meansdisease, or the approach of disease.

Cod liver oil has most alwaysbeen prescribed for this condition.It has wonderful properties as amcdicine.but itsdisagrceablc greaseand vile taste and smell make mostpeople 'sick.

We have long thought thatsomething could be devised withcod liver oil as a basis that wouldarrest' emaciation, promote nutri-tion, stimulate digestion, aid inthrowing off rheumatism, lungtrouble, bronchitis, coughs, andprove a real body-building tonicreconstructor and flesh former.

We have found it in Vinol (ifyou are interested call at the storeand we'll tell you i w we found it)and it certainly does the work. Itis pleasant to take. If you aresick and thin, try Vinol. You canget your money back if it doesn'thelp you. .

Two-thirds of the inmates of our hospitals are women. They are in most cases either for treatmentor for an operation, made necessary by advanced stages of female troubles which have resulted in ovaritia, .a tumor, or displacement of tho womb.

"AN OPERATION NECESSARY."How these words after the examination strike terror to a woman's soul, and 'with what regrets sha

hears them, when she eonsiders that the operation has become necessary through her own neglect. Femaledorangemonts cannot euro themsolvos, and neglecting the warnings of nature only means putting it off untilthere is no euro. Tlie woman who lets her trouble make headway pays tho penalty of a dangerous opera-tion and a lifetime of impaired usefulness at the best, and the operation often proves fatal when her lifemight have been saved by Lydia B. Pinklmm's Vcgctablo Compound.

When women are troubled with irregular, suppressed or painful menstru-ation, weakness, leucorrhcea, displacement or ulceration of the womb, thatbearing down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, bloating (or flatu-lence), general debility, Indigestion and nervous prostration; or are beset withsuch symptoms as dizziness, faintness, lassitude, excitability, irritability, ner-vousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, and "want-to-be-left-alone " feelings, andthe blues, they should remember thai there is one tried and never-failingremedy; Lydia E. Pinkham's Compound at once removes such troubles.

READ THE FOLLOWING LETTERS."DEAR M M . PINKHAII: —I cannot toll you how much good you have done me and how thankful I

am to you for it. For five years I have not been free from pain for a day. I have had backaches, headaches,and those awful dragging sensations with leucorrhrpu, ana when menstruation appeared I was in such acondition I could hardly sit up. I doctored all the time, Y»iit nothing helped me, and I was told that anoperation was necessary.

" Two months ago a friend suggested that I try Zjydia E. Pinkhum's "Vegetable Compound. Noone knows what it has done for me and how thankful I am for it. It brought me the first well days I havehad for five years. It, did for me what doctors could not do, and I want every suffering woman, to knowabout it." — LOUISE NAUER, 731 E. IGOth St., New York City.

"DEAR MRS. PraKUAs!: —I wish to thank you for what lydia E. Piniham's Vegetable Compoundhas done for me. I had terrible hemorrhages, being lacerated from the birth of my child. The doctor, told .me that if I would have an operation I would be well and strong. I submitted to it, but was -worse: thanbefore; no one knows what I suffered. Finally a friend advised me to try your Vegetable Compound; I didso, and commenced to foel better j I continued its use, and it has done for me what doctors could not do. Iam strong and well. If women with any kind of female troubles would only consult you before submittingto an operation they would bo spared many hours of pain and suffering. I cannot thank you enough forwhat you have done for me."—ANNA KIBCHHOFF, 150 E. 100th St., New York City.a£ r^g\g\f\ f\f\ FORFEIT 1' we eannot forthwith produce tha orlglosl letter* and signatures of afcOTe testimonials, wlilcli will proT*9 O U U U i w U tUolr absolute gsnutaeness. .

A Mammoth Sale of Black and Colored Silks,28,000 Yards of Newest 1903 Fabrics.

Under the cost of production today, the unquestionable supremacy of the Hahne & Co.

Silk Store was never better illustrated than in this sale now in progress. But you must

understand the conditions. Everything that has to do with the making of fine silks is higher

than it was two months ago—labor, dyeing and raw silk. The grades of raw silk that cost

$3.50 a pound then are $4.60 a pound now. But we ordered months ago at concessions

even below the old figures. And for this sale we have made our own profit little or nothing.

For tho nuws of tbe dayHe sometimes hears a tnlog that Is funny.

If It were not for Joe Miller's jokes re-Burrtcted by modern humorists, the fam-ily ulmanau AM) a few of tbe other thingsttiat lighten tbe cares of life we would boa race of sour-faced, disagreeable peoplewhose chief endeavor would be in tryingto Bee how miserablo we could mate eachother, but thanks to the laughs wo got ontof an occaflioml story we manage to sailalong in a fairly agreeable uort of a nay.

tt'o a Rood thing we are not all like tbeman wbo went Into a local clothing storowhere there waa a bargain sale of socba.going on. The proprietor as a special at-traction bad marked the socks down toone cent A pair and the clerks had noklckn ccmjiii; from anyone until the m*nwith tbe abnormal grasping disposition,camo In, nnd after overhauling the entirestoctc picks out six pairs and handed tbeclerk rive cants in payment. The clerkpolltolytold him thut another cent wasdue, wnortupou t-Le mnn with the dwarf-ed mind became indignant and sild If becouldn't got tbe bix pair for five cents he'dtrado somewhere elite. Needless to saytho proprietor didn't try to bold him withany ropea or anchors.

Ia order to compel uerhmband to breakaway from blB associates In tbo Saloons, aPhilllpeburg wife resorted to measuresthat-required great courage some timoago, when she followed her husband Intoa saloon and, floating horself at the tablewith somn men, sbe order* d drinks for thehouse Her husband remonstrated withher and trit d to got her to go home alonebut shu told him that unless bo went withher and stayed away from barrooms ahewould tu ttie future frequent them andat-slht him in spending hit wages fordrink. Tue threat had tbo effect of bring-ing him to bis senses and bo wisely left thesaloon promising lo avoid "the cup thatsteals men's) brains away" and in the futurecontribute more to tbe support of hisfamily.

A carttnan, who ia considered veryshrewd will not Identify ttrangers in thefuture unless he Is sure of being recom-pensed for his trouble. It deems that a few

WhyNot the People Own I t ?Tbe cities of PhtlHpabarg and Eastern

are now agitating tbe public owner*abip ofthe wagon and foot passengerbridge spanning the Delaware connect-ing tbe two cities, and It ia quite prob-able tbe legislatures of this State andPennsylvania will be petitioned at thepresent session to pass an act towardthat end. .

Tho bridge, as it la now controlled,ia free to pedestrians, bat all vehiclesare required to lend tribute to theindividuals lucky enough to hold etockin thebrldgecompany.

I t is Btated, on good authority, thatstock can't be bought on the market,as It ia BO desirable that a person oncegets a few shares he allows but oneconsideration to part him and histreasuro, and that consideration is—,death.

Seven or eight years ago an oldwooden bridge stood where tbe presentsplendid cantilever structure stands.The old bridge was, at the time of itsremoval, possibly the oldest woodenbridge in America, having been erect-ed in 1805 by Timothy Palmor. Thefact that it remained in condition for-use for a little over eighty years givesa hint that the builders had masteredthe art of wooden bridge buildingrather than the slip shod methodsused by many of the modern con-tractors.

When one stand* on the presentsuperb product of modern engineeringand contemplates the progress of theone hundred years since Mr. Palmerbuilt the old wooden structure, he isImpressed that human progress likethe rjver below flaws unceasingly on.

Now that it has done such long ser-vice under private ownership, ic shouldbe made a free public bridge, the pro-perty of the people. .
