Teams representing Morristown
lodge of Elks and Mohuscowungle and
Iona tribes of Red Men played a game
of base ball on the Budd street grounds
Wednesday afternoon for the benelit
of the two Morristown hospitals. The
Elks played base ball and the Red Men
—well, the score was thirty-eight to
four and that tells the story. Clar
ence Compton twirled for Manager
Hartenstines’ aggregation and but
three hits were secured from his de
livery, errors helping the Red Men to
score their runs. Russell Hixon and
Benjamin Norton were on the slab for
the Indians and the Elks piled up
twenty-three hits, two being home
runs and six two-b ggers otf their de
livery. The support was wretched,
many errors oeing responsible for the
large number of runs. Samuel Vaner
and Michael Riley had all they could
do to umpire the game and as it was
the Elks got tired running the bases
in the third session and took the field
with only two out and in the last in
ning gave the Indians four outs in
stead of three. The feature of the
game was the batting of Shawger, he
getting six hltsyut of seven times at

“POLITICS IN
THE POLICE”
Alderman Asserts that Fuss
over Special Police is made
for “Political Effect.”
WOULD VENTILATE THE VAULTS
A bill from Joseph Antonnacio,
special police officer, for $12 for ser
vices rendered last month, was the
cause of a lively discussion at the Oc
tober meeting of the board of aider
men Friday evening. Alderman Jacob
Arnold read the bill, with other police
bills, and moved their payment. Al
derman John N. Conkling said “ I pro
test against the payment of this bill
of Antonnacio’s as the action of the
committee in recommending its pay
ment is a violation of a resolution of
the board that his services be dis
pensed with” and asked for the opin
ion of the town counsel. Edwark K.
Mills opined that the man was en
titled to his money as he had been en
gaged by the authorized parties and
was innocent in the matter.
At the last meeting of the board Al
dermen Conkling pushed through a
resolution that Antonnacio be dis
charged as a special officer. He asked
Alderman Arnold Friday evening how
the man was again in the employ of
the town and the chairman of the po
lice committee said “ We hired him
over again.” Alderman Conkling as
serted that no meeting of the police
committee had been called to consider
the matter.
“ An Italian officer is needed on
Flagler street, and I think this mat
ter has been brought up for political
effect” said Alderman Oliver K. Day.
" Alderman Day is cheeky to say
that,” said Alderman Conkling, “ this
man was discharged on the request
of residents of the Italian district.”
Alderman Mowery ventured the
statement that the creature was no
greater than its creator and that the
committee should be amenable to the
board. Alderman Conkling came back
again with the statement that a ma
jority of the police committee voted
for the resolution discharging Anton
nacio and if the chairman re-employs
him and defies the board “It’s a high
state of affairs.”
The protest against paying the bill
finally came to a vote and was voted
down, Alderman Conkling being the
only man to vote in favor of it.
The ventilation of the vaults in the
municipal building was again discussed
by the aldermen, Aldermen Conkling
reporting that the Oliver-Drake com
pany suggested the installation of a
flue with registers in each vault to
carry off the damp air. The company
offered to do the work for $58. Town
Engineer Edward Howell suggested
that a partition should be built four
j inches away from the walls of the
vaults and the flue carry off the air
between the partition and the wall.
The question of putting windows in
each vault was discussed but the point
was made that the windows would
destroy the fire-proof qualities of the
vault and the matter was finally re
ferred back to the comqiittee for fur
ther consideration.
Augustus S. VanHouten requested
the board to do something about the
numbers on Pine street. “ I don’t
know where I live” said Mr. Van
Ilouten, “ will the board tell me if it
is No. 36 or 38.” The street commit
tee will take the matter in hand.
On motion of Alderman Day the
counsel was empowered to discontinue
the condemnation proceedings insti
tuted against Robert D. Foote and
wife, L. R. Tompkins and wife, Stew
art M. Toms and wife, Charles II.
Rosevear, trustee, and others; Albert
Fineout and wife, Jacob Rosen and
others, as a settlement had been af
fected and deeds given by the parties,
and also to discontinue the proceedings
against Elizabeth Thompson and hus
band as it was found unnecessary to
cross their property with the sewer.
This clears up all the litigation over
rights-of-way in Morristown.
Residents in the neighborhood of
Sussex avenue and nenry street pe
titioned the aldermen to have an arc
lamp installed at the corner of those
two throughfares, and the street lamp
committee was directed to look into
its advisability.
Four notes for $4,000 each, payable
January 1st, for sewer work, and a
note for $8,000 for two months for cur
rent bills were ordered executed by
the mayor and town treasurer as well
as the renewal of a note for $2,000 tor
one month.
That the town could make a little
money “on the side” was made mani
fest by Alderman Day’s reporting re
ceipts of $483.93 for rent of the steam
roller to the county and to private in
dividuals and from the sale of flag
stones taken up from the park.
A dozen bills for damages to gardens
by the sewer work involving sums
ranging from five to (twelve dollars
were ordered paid. A bond for $5,000
was ordered executed with the county
insuring it from loss from the sewer
pipes being placed on the county
bridges.
Alderman Mowery asked for infor
mation regarding the progress of the
SOCIETY EVENTS.
Morristown last week was practically
given over to the horse show and
many entertainments were held for
the amusement of the exhibitors and
Visitors. Thursday evening was given
the horse show dinner at the Morris
County Golf club. Those present in
cluded the horse show committee offi
cials and many of the exhibitors.
Covers were laid for thirty-six. Fri
day evening the golf club was again
be the scene of a festivity, the attrac
tion being the horse show dance.
