kicked the lantern out of his hand, setting fire
to the buildings, which, with their contents, were
entirely destroyed, The mule was burned to

THE SMITH BAKERY FIRE.
Paul Martin. a Journeymsn, Held for
Arson and Robbery.

E N -
Paul Martin, q Journeym8n Held for
Arson and Robbery.
AT ten o'clock on Saturday night fire
Smith, corner of Bergenline avenue and
Union street, Union Hill. It resulted in
damages amounting to $1,000 q I'M
periling several lives.
II the fire had occurred two hours later
the holocaust would have been fearful,
and it was only the superhunlan efforts
of the flremen which succeeded in saving
all the families in the house.
The lire was discovered by Mr.. smith.
He was in the room adjoining the bake
shop when he saw snlok pouring through
the door. Hastily douning his coat ne
ran to the house of Palisade Engine Com
pany on Lewis street and gave the alarm.
The tower bell was rung and soon all the
companies were on the scene.
Five streams were o 0 playing on the
blaze. In the meantime a panic existed
among the tenants They we're rushing
about in a half nude condition and the
greatest excitement prevailed amongst
the large crowd that had gathered.
Several families on the upper floors
were cut off from the street and were res
cued by the fremen after a great
deal of difficulty. Finally all the fam
lilies were removed with safety and a sigh
of relief went up from the crowd.
The iremen then devoted all their
time to saving the adjoining property.
In this they were successful, Il the fire
was confined to the bakery, II was
under control in one hour. 1t was the
opinion of spectators that the firemen can
not be praised too highly for their work.
They had to labor under a great many
disadvantages but were equal to the
emergency
After the fire Peter Geiler, a baker m
ployed by Smith, reported to the police
that during the excitement attending the
fire he had lost $50, which ne had con-
cealed underline sofa. Geiler was unkind
enough to insinuate hat some of the fire
laddies had stolen it.
Policeman Charles Smith was detailed
to investigate and found that Martin, who
worked alongside of Geiler. had stolen
the money. The money was found on
Martin. 1t was also found that Martin
was the only one in the bakeshop just
previous to the fire and was seen acting
suspiciously in the shop. Acting upon
this information Policeman Smith placed
Martin under arrest. He was brought
before Recorder Schleicher and charged
with arson and grand larceny. The Re
corder committed him to the County Jail.
The police give Martin a very bad name.
His record is an unsavory one. About a
year ago he shot Baker Paul, of West Ho-
boken. He was acquitted of the charge
on q technicality. He has been in the
employ of Mr.. Smith about two months.
1t was said that he played the races and
that Saturday nights blaze is the result
of his irving to raise funds.

John Mcclure, of No. 437 West Forty
second street, New York, was arraigned
before Justice Stilsing this morning
charged with burglary. His face was
streaked with blood and showed other
evidence of having come forcibly into
contact with a p~oliceman's night stick.
Chanceman Byrne testified that about
midnight he saw two men in the neigh
borhood of Washington and Montgom-
cry streets, one, the prisoner, carrying a
bundle under his arm. They were acting
suspiciously. He saw one of them throw
something away. AS he approached the
two men the prisoner threw a bundle
over the railing in front of the Second
National Bank. He placed the prisoner
under arrest. who resisted, and the
chanceman. noticing him place his hand
in his coat pocket, OWNED his Intention.
He whacked him over the knuckles and
drew a loaded revolver from McGuire's
pocket. The other man escaped,
Tailor Leake, of No. 903 Montgomery
street, identified the stolen goods as pam
falcons he had made for Charlie Jordan,
and two gentlemen named Percy and
Larkins. Some missing goods could not
be found. His store had been broken
into and the goods stolen.
John Reddy, a youth employed at Lor-
illard's tobacco works, was remanded as a
witness. He was seen suspiciously neal
the two men at the time of the arrest. In
| court he testified that Mcclure had come
over to his house with his friend to have
a good time and he had started up the
street with them after they left, but knew
nothing about the goods which the pris-
oner threw away.
Mcclure was committed for burglary.
After he had been committed Mcguire
showed an overcoat through the iron bars
of his cell and let it fall into the area
way. 1t was the one he had worn when
arrested. After it had been discovered
it was found TO be one that had belonged
to Charles Is. Jordan.
The trousers he wore were identified as
a pair that had been made for Assembly
man Mullone.

A spicy 1Iistake.

A good housewife at the Highlands
wished to surprise her husband by giving
him some of a peculiar kind of cake OF
which he was very fond. She took great
pains with the mixture, measuring cut
each ingredient with the utmost care, for
she was determined to produce the best
loaf she ever made. When the good man
came in to tea and saw the handsome loaf
his heart went out toward his wife IN re-
newed affection. The cake was finally
cut, but the first mouthful he took made
him look puzzled and soon he left the
table. The wife was curious TO know
why he went out. and noticing that he
had left his cake almost ~untasted she
broke off a little piece and put it IN her
mouth. "Horrorsl cayenne pepper!
where did / get that?" and she made a
bolt for the kitchen. Going into the pan
try she looked at the hox where She got
her cinnamon to put in the cake. There
stood the box, but the word Pepper"
was so big that there was no mistaking
the contents. She says the next time she
makes a loaf OF cake she will taste OF
everything before she puts it in, and her
husband says he doesn't know but she'd
better. -Sprinqfeld Homestead.

An Outrage on Justice.

The manner of the acquittal of
Dock Master Peters by Justice Rusch,
of Hoboken, last Saturday, presents
some extraordinary phases. The
Justice seems to have exceeded his
perogatiyes as a committing magis-
trate to an astounding degree, and his
proceeding of Saturday, in the alb
sence of explanation, appears to have
been in violation of all law. He had
in the first place, as we understand it,
fully committed Peters under 81, 900
bail to await the action OF the Grand
Jury. His jurisdiction I'VE the mat
possibly it SO as to reopen the
case?
And then, if he could, by any pro-
cess of law known to modern juris-
prudence, reacquire jurisdiction, how
comes it that he let in evidence for
the defense. One of the plainest of
the duties of a committing magistrate
is that he shall enquire only into the
case for the State. 1t is his duty to
simply ascertain whether sufficient is
alleged by the States witnesses
and can be established to put a man
on his defence, not to weigh it up
against the evidence on the other
side. A Justice of the Peace has no
right in the world to do It'll
How comes it, too, that Mrs. Beige
man herself became a witness for the
defences Was she put on the stand
and bluffed into testifying in ignor
ance OF her right TO refuse to answer
questions that eliminated herself?
Altogether it looks as though the

THE clear and concise presentation
in another column, of the issues be-
between the State and the Delaware,
Lackawanna 81 Western Railroad,
suggests the enquiry how it happened
that neither one OF the arbitrator
sat to listen to the testimony in the
case9 1t was for their information
alone that it was taken. They were
the best judges of what it was essen
tial for them to know. If they had
heard the witnesses, the point in the
ISL would doubtless have been much
more thoroughly illuminated than it
was, and the taking of a pile of irrele-
want testimony might have been
avoided.
