The place and arrangements for the re-anion to be held, next year were

left in the hands of committee. Let- ters of regret were read. Prefacing the adoption of resolntions, relative

to the death of President McKinley. Col. Davis said that it was a matter of record that Major McKinley as a

member of the staff of Gen. Sheridan was in close touch with the 15th Regt. during the memorable Sheridan campaign, and during a portion of one of the most severe engagements, he was less than fifty yards from the

position to which the 15th had been

ordered. Whereas, Comrade William McKin-

ley, President of the United States was

cruelly murdered by the hand of an

8.SS&SS1D

Resolved, That this Association with bowed heads and sorrowfulness of heart, humbly accept the dispensation of Di vine Providence, for “It is God’s way. His will, notours, be done.’’ The sad tidings were proclaimed to the world on

Saturday, Sept. 14th, and the Nation, like a great ship in a storm, rocked and trembled, for a mighty man had fallen. In the death of Comrade McKinley, this country has lost its foremost citizen and the world one of its greatest benefactors, for by hisnoblenessof character, tender- ness of sympathy, and love of justice, he represented all that was good in life. His public career, occupying as he did many positions of honor and trust, was

wholly devoted to the good of his coun-

try and the betterment of man, thereby gaining tor him the love and respect of all with whom he came in contact. His services as a soldier was marked by true devotion to his country. Entering the ranks as a private soldier, by conspicuous gallantry upon the field of battle, and by faithful and efficient services he rapidly rose to the rank of Major and served with distinction for four years, His home life was an exemplifi- cation of that true love and affection which alone can bring happiness to those whom we love and to those who love us. To the bereaved widow, who was his great joy, in sickness as well as in health, our hearts flew with the deepest sorrow and sympathy.

Resolved, That this Association view with great alarm the rapid growth of anarchy in this country, and we as American oitizens and veterans of the Civil War censure and condemn that lawless and sensational portion of the press, upon whose scurrillous expres- sions these foes to civil government feed and fatten, and we advocate some

remedial legislation, both by the State and National government, that will make it a capital crime to attempt the assassination of those high in authority.

Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be furnished each Representative and Senator from this State with the re-

quest that they use their best endeavors to enact such legislation as will suppress and prevent anarchism in our beloved country which we fought to preserve.

At the close of the meeting, hon-

orary members were elected as follows: Mayor Pox, Justin P. Lind- sley,Melbourne Lindsl-y,Morristown; J. B. Smith, Rockaway; Arthur S.

Bigelow, Three Ridges; Paul Pin-

ley Wyckoff, Raritan; Wm. D.

Sayers and Henry Sears, Scranton; Chester Arthur Cawley, Somerville; Posey L. Barton. Denville; Harry G. Decker, Newton.

The County Hall in which the banquet was served by Hope League was ap-

propriately decorated with the national

colors while words of kindly greeting were everywhere noticeable. The

tables presented a beautiful, not to say appetizing appearance, while the menu

fully sustained the reputation of Hope League as entertainers. Grace was

said by Rev. Dr. Albert Erdman of Mor- ristown. Following the banquet the genial Col. E. W. Davis presided as

toast-master with his accustomed diplo- macy and good humor. Mayor Fox, formerly chaplain of the 77tli New York Volunteers, made the address of

welcome. He said he spoke from per- sonal acquaintance with the 15th Regi- ment at the front, where he had abun-

dant opportunity to become well

acquainted with the soldierly bearing of the 15th in camp, and its fighting propersities at the front. As to the

qualifications of the regiment on the

retreat he had no knowledge. The

Mayor compared the loss of the Balaklava charge and in other great battles as not

being as high as that of the 15th, which

was second in the list of regiments en-

gaged in the civil war, the 2nd Min nesota being first, and first among the

New Jersey regiments. Ex-President W. H. Wyckoff respond-

ed to the welcome, paying a warm

tribute to the generous hospitality of

the citizens of Morristown and Hope League.

The members of the old Fifteenth

quartette,Comrades Lum,Genung,Beers, Clift and Louis Davis were ordered to

the front, when, with Frank Eaton as

leader and Miss May E. Westerfield pre- siding acceptably at the piano, the au-

dience arose and joined in singing heart-

ily “The Star Spangled Banner.” Vice Chancellor Emory, formerly a second lieutenant in Company A, of the Fif- teenth, was the first speaker. After re-

ferring to the generous welcome ten- dered by Hope League and the citizens generally, the Vice Chancellor spoke of the pleasure it gave him to touch elbows with former comrades and to again fol- low the dear old flag so proudly carried by Color-Sergeant Gunderman. “The days of '62, in the third stage of the war,” the Vice Chancellor said, “was the stirring time in which the Fifteenth was recruited, when President Lincoln, recognizing the sore straits to which the Union forces had been forced, called for 800,000 volunteers.” The speaker gra phically pictured the condition of the army over which the great leader, Grant was soon to be placed as chief, stating “The 15th was the first to respond to New Jersey’s quota of 20,000 recruits.” He referred to Colonel F'owler’s prompt- ness in rtcruiting the regiment? saying that his efforts were ably seconded b.

WITH THE LAWYERS

Many Appeals Decided Includ- ing Boonton Dog Case.

Nice Point of Law In Compton-Arm- strong Case—One License Grant-

ed—Decision on Another Re-

served.

COMMON LPEAS.

Since last issue, the following Court

appeals have been tried and disposed of:

Thomas A. Applin, plaintiff and

appellee, vs. Charles A. Leonard, was

tried last Thursdav and decision re-

served until Monday, when Judge Vreeland announced a verdict for plaintiff for $29.84. Applin rented a

farm, with some cows from defendant and claimed there was $199.49 due him for milk sold for him by the defendant and not acounted for, while defendant claimed he had settled with Applin in full.

Number twenty on the list was next

heard, James A. Speer, plaintiff and appellee, and Samuel Edelman, Isaac and Aaron Halprin, defendants and

appellants, an action to recover for feed sold to defendant Edelman who claimed part payment. The suit was

for $50.00 and the amount claimed to have been paid on account was $14.80 From the papers in the case, state of

demand, book account, &c.,—it seemed that neither was correct, and Judge Vreeland gave verdict for $27.45.

Number twenty-five, David M.

Compton, plaintiff and appelllant, vs.

Lewis Armstrong, defendant and appellee, was tried on Friday afternoon. This case involved a nioe point of

law, the facts being practically agreed upon, viz: what constitutes an accep- tance of a surrender of a lease? Plaintiff rented a house to defendant for a term ending April 1st. On March 1st defendant moved out, ten-

dering keys to plaintiff, who declined to release defendant from paj’inent. of rent. Subsequently during March plaintiff rented the premises in ques- tion to a new tenant, rent to begin April 1st, hut 'new tenant took pos- session of premises at'ouce and moved in part of his belongings. Defen- dant claimed this at was an accept- ance of his surrender of the lease and he declined to pay the rent for March and suit was bronghc before a justice where the case was tried before a

jury, a verdict of no cause of action being rendered, whereupon plaintiff appealed. Charlton A. Reed appeared for plaintiff and Richard Boardmau for the defendant. Decision was re-

served until November 1st.

The same counsel appeared in the next case tried, on Saturday morning last, number nine on the list, Joseph Eakley, plaintiff and appellant, vs.

Mrs. Mary A, Nichols, defendant and appellee. It appears from the evidence that one Oook, representing him- self to be a member of the firm of Durling & Cook, sold defendant six tons of coal. It was poor coal,and defendant refused to pay for it unless some compensation was made, where- upou Oook promised to send down

two tons to make goodt lie poor coal. About two weeks later two tons of coal were delivered to defendant by Mr. Eakley s wagons, and a bill presented ; defendant asserted that she had never purchased coal of Eakley. and the driver said Cook ordered it

sent down to her. She said that was

to make good some poor coal ho had sent her previously and accepted it. Plaintiff said at trial that Oook was

iiis agent and he knew nothing about previous transaction. Decision that defendant was not liable given.

The Jury appeals were taken up for trial on Monday morning and before the flist ease was called, Judge Vree- land announced a decision of no cause

for action in the case of Charles H. Spindler, plaintiff and appellee, vs.

Harrison Mandeville, defendant and

appellant. The celebrated case "of Andrew J.

Riley, plaintiff and appellee vs. James McGarrigle, defendant and appellant, was the first one to be called, with George G.Rnnyon for the plainiff,and Charlton A Reed for the defendant. This case was tried before a Justice as far back as March, 1900, resulting in a verdict for the plaintiff of $118.00, and defendant appealed, and on the trial the jury disagreed before. De- fendant left a pair of horses with plaintiff to take care of and sell if he could,and plaintiff suea to recover

board for horses. The jury gave him a verdict for $111.50. The next cases taken up were those of

James Devany by Eliza McCormick next friend, vs. William and Sarah Himelman, and Elizabeth McCormick vs. William and Sarah Himelman, Irving E. Salmon for plaintiffs, and Ray Dawson for defendants, the same

acts existing in both cases one jury to

try both at same time. The Himel- mans owned a dog which, it is alleged bit Devany, who is a small boy, on

the leg when he went into the yard to see if they wanted to buy some oil. Suit was brought for damages by tbo boy, and Mrs. McCormick sued to re-

cover money paid for the services of a physioian. The evidence was very

conflicting. The case was first tried before a Justice and verdict secured for the plaintiffs, and sustained on the appeal, after which a new trial was

ordered. Dr. Carpenter, who treated the boy, testified that he treated him for an abscess on the leg, and heard nothing of a dog bite. There was

evidence that the dog was very vi- cious and this was negatived by that of a minister who testified that he had visited the Himelmans several times, and on one or moro occasions had kicked the dog off the stoop without molestation. The jury gave a verdict for the boy of $25.00 and $39.50 for Mrs. McCormick.

Other cases have been disposed of as follows:

Luther O. Wack, plaintiff and appellee, vs. Lemuel Neighbour, defendant and appellant, off for the term

by consent.

William J. Ridner, plaintiff and appellee, vs. William E. Dixon, defendant and appellant, off for the term

by consent.

Robert Richards, fish and game warden, plaintiff and appellee vs.

Clarence H. Beach, defendant and ap-

pellant, off for term by consent.

The Borough of Port Oram,plaintiff and appel'ee, vs. Scott Fichter, de-

fendant and appellant, settled out of court.

Township Committee of Pequan- nock, plaintiff and appellee, vs. Sam- uel W. VanNess, defendant and appellant, settled out of court.

LICENSE APPLICATIONS.

The application of Michael O’Con- nor for license to sell at wholesale at

Montville was granted Monday afternoon, three being no objection.

The application of Stephen Hatha-

way for a license to sell at wholesale in Madison Borough, against which a

remonstrance had been filed, was

heard Wednesday morning, W. W. Cutler for applicant and David F. Barkman for remonstrants. After

hearing the evidence Judge Yreeland reserved his decision.

CIRCUIT COURT.

Number two, Harris Goldberg, et

als,. trading as H. Goldberg & Son, vs. Louis Singer, has been settled.

Acid on Fire.

There was a scare in the Lake Ho-

patcong region Saturday when the

news spread that the large nitric acid

plant of the American Forcite Pow- der works at Landing was on fire. The forcite plant is scattered over an

area of 400 acres, and no buildings containing explosives are near the nitric acid houses.

A strong wind was blowing and it was feared that burning embers

would be carried to other parts of the

plant and cause disaster. The fumes

of the acid set people coughing for miles around. The flames were con-

fined to the acid house and one smal- ler building. Both were destroyed. The fire was started by a blaze which burst through the cover of one of the nitric acid stills as the still was being started up.

Friday Evening Club Entertains.

The tenth meeting of the Morris- town Friday Evening Club was held

in the Lyceum last Friday evening. The house was well filled to hear Ernest Seton-Thompson, the well known author and lecturer, give a

talk on wild animals illustrated by stereopticon views, many of which were very beautiful.

At the close of the lecture, Mr.

Thompson was entertained by a num-

ber of friends at the Morristown Club.

Catholic Societies’ Excursion.

One hundred and two members and

guests of the various Catholic societies of the town went on a target excursion to Newton yesterday. They were ac-

oompauied by Voss’ First Regiment Baud, and as they marched from the

Young Men’s Catholic Association rooms

down Morris street to the station they presented a tine appearance.

The excursionists arrived at Newton about noon, and at once proceeded to

the Cochran House, where an elaborate dinner had been prepared for them.

Daring the repast several speeches were

made and a feeling of good fellowship prevailed.

Thomas Malley carried off the honors

of the day by winning the priae—a $5 gold piece—for the best shooting.

The committee which had the affair in charge—E. S. Burke, Thomas Mal-

ley, B. W. Clifford and William Lauen- stein—is to he congratulated upon its

success. __

New England Building Burned*

Many Morristoniaus, whose ances-

tors wen of sturdy New Englaud stock,will sincerely regret t he loss the “New England Building” at the Pan-American, which occurred on

Sunday by fire, the result, it is said of the explosion of a gas heater.

The five New England states con-

solidated in the erection of this building—Maine, New Hampshire, Ver- mont, Rhode Island and Connecticut, Each state had its own special room

on the second floor. Among the valu- able paintings lost was a life si/,e portrait of the late James G. Blaine, while the loss of heirlooms and an-

tique furniture is not easy to figure.

DEATH’S HARVEST. Theodore Little. Mrs Sarah Hlnesand

N. M. Mills at Rest.

Theodore L.ittie.

A venerable and honored citizen who for more than sixty years has fitted a large space in this community and by his virtues and sterling char- acteristics has made his influence strongly felt in our city and state, has been added to the list of Death’s victims.

Theodore Little was born on Febru- ary 3, 1819 in Hackettstown. He early entered Princeton College,from which institution he was graduated in the Class of 1888. Very socn after his

matriculation he came to Morristown and entered the office of the Hon. Ira C. Whitehead, once a Justice of the Supreme Court of New Jersey. Im- mediately after being admitted to the bar he opened an office in Morris- town and began the practice of his profession.

Morristown was remarkable in those days for the number of its suc-

cessful and talented lawyers, and Mr. Little was obliged to measure his in-

tellectual sword with some of the most acute minded members of the bar. Henry A. Ford, Jacob M. Miller and James J. Scofield were here then and in their prime. Chief Justice Whelpley was then rising into promi- nence and fame. Judge Dalrimple, Alfred Mills,and Henry O. Pitney, now a Vice-Chancellor soon became his contemporaries. Jacob Vanatta one of the brightest and keenest of intellect, soon afterwards entered Mr. Little’s office as a student.

His mind was of a high order, his perception and faculties rarely failed him in discerning the salient point in a case. His arguments were con-

vincing and exhaustive, and Ms power of reasoning was inoisive and broad. He soon gained a numerous and very respectable clientage. His practice in a very few years became one of the largest in the county.

In politics he was a Republican and a politician in the best sense of that word. He never courted political nouors, generally declining to listen to the call of his fellow citizens to accept the honor which they would be stow upon him, although he once ran for Congress in a strong Democratic district being defeated by the no- torious "Jack’” Rodgers.

He was for many years an elder in the First Presbvteriau Church of Morristown, constant in hi# attendance upon the services of the sanc-

tuary. His ripe judgment, his sound common sense, his broad intellect, his wisdom, made him an able coun- sellor.

In 1865 the First National Bank of Morristown was organized, and Mr. Little became its first president, and its only president. During the last years of his life he practically retired from active practice, and devoted his whole attention to the affairs of the bank, which under his management has become one of the strongest moneyed institutions in the conuty.

Mr. Little died on Wednesday, and was buried today in the cemetery of the First Presbyterian Church. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. William Durant, D. D., a former pastor of Mr.Little’s to whom he was much attached.

Sarah Hines.

Mrs. Sarah Hines who died on Octo- ber 20, 1961, in her 89th year, was the widow of John Callender Hines, who moved to Morristown from New York city forty-two years ago.

Mr. and Mrs. Hines became members of the South Street Presbyterian Church. He was elected an elder of the church, and Mrs. Hines was for years president of the Ladies’ Missionary Society; she was always interested in the work of her church until broken health and the weight of years prevented her former activities.

Mrs. Hines was the daughter of the Rev. John Sisty, a Baptist minister ot Philadelphia, who was well known in his church because of his successful founding of churches in New Jersey.

On her father’s side she was descend- ed from French Huguenots, thtd on her mother’s from English Quakers.

Her sunshiny disposition and interest in all about her, together with a remark- aide memory, made the hours spent in her presence a delight to her friends.

Her sufferings were borne with forti- tude and a perfect trust in the Saviour, whom she had acknowledged as her Lord and Master in ner young days. She had been called upon to part with all her immediate family, with the ex-

ception of one sister and one (laughter, the last named was in attendance upon her to the last.

In her last illness she expressed her desire to be submissive to the Lord, who had been so good to her, and she told her pastor, the Rev. l)r. Erdman, that all was peace, only a few hours before she passed quietly away to be with the Lord.

The funeral services were held at her late residence on Wednesday at three o’clock. Interment was made in Ever- green Cemetery.

Nelieiulah M. Mills.

Nehemiah M. Mills died at his home on Mendham avenue on Sunday, in the

seventy-third year of hia age, after a

long illness from a complication of dis-

eases, Mr. Mills was born ip New York city in 1833, where he resided until lie was eight years of age, when he re-

moved to Morristown. He learned the carpenter’s trade, afterwards purchas- ing a farm on the Mendham road, now

a portion of the Kountze estate. Mr. Mills married Miss Harriet Slack of Stanhope, who with nine children, Geo. A., Mrs. Harriet E. Chase of Newark; Miss Mary A., Harvey L., Misses Annie E., Jennie L., Julia E., Dr. Clifford and John M. Mills, survive him. The fuueral services were held from the homestead, Wednesday morning, the Rev. J. L. Hurlbut officiating. The bearers were Messrs. Edward F. Arnold. Milton Pie son, Fred A. Trowbridge. Louis M. Tuttle, Samuel A. Smith, and Eugene Pierson, interment was made in Evergreen Cemetery.

BATTLES ON THE GRIDIRON

The Morristown School Scored

against 1st Time this Season.

High School as Usual Defeated— Leal School of Plainfield Burled— Port Oram Forced to Take a

Back Seat.

The Newark Academy, one of the best school elevens in that vicinity, went down to defeat Wednesday in the best

game played on the Morristown School gridiron this season by the score of 35-5. It was a struggle in which team work told the story. The first half was re-

splendent with long end runs in which

McKensie excelled, making two dashes, one of forty yards and another of fifty, while Behr hurdled the center for long gains. The half closed with the score

18 0 in Morristown favor, In the second half the Newark boys started in to rush things carrying the ball to Morristown’s forty-five yard line. It was at this point that quarter back Ridgeway sig- nalled for a drop kick. Tooker, the

right tackle, fell back and waited with ont Btretched arms for the ball. Hens- ler's pass was superb and the next in- stant the pig-3kin was seen flying high in the air squarely between the two

posts and Morristown was second against for the first time this season. It was a great kick; one that any college player might feel proud of. On the next line-up the Newark players again rushed the ball to Morristown’s one

yard line, where the locals made a fine stand, holding the visitors for downs. Then came Morristown’s tarn to rush

matters, which they did, carrying the

hall to Newark’s 5 yard line. At this point Behr hurdled center for the re-

maining distance. Kobbe also scored in this half by splendid line bucking and the game closed with the ball in the center of field. With the exception of fumbling which was very conspicuous, the Morristown team played excellent football. M. S. N. A.

Madison Academy, 0; M H S., 0.

The High School football team again met defeat Saturday, this time the victors being the Madison Academy team. With the exception of the first contest of the season with Port Oram which resulted iu a tie the locals have played a decidedly weak game. Es pecially is this notieable in the inter- ference which is ragged and broken. No team can expect to win a game of foot ball unless it gives good protec- tion for the backs and this the High School certainly does not do. Line up: M. A. M.H.S. F. Kirkpatrick I.ctt end Sturgis W.
