A BAD SCARE FOR HIS GUESTS.
General Dodge's House on Fire While a
Party is in Progress.

General Dodge's House on Fire While a
Party is in Progress.
DANvILLE, ILL.,, May %, 1889.-The $50,
600 suburban mansion of General A. G. P.
Dodge was burned early yesterday morn
ing. At the time of the fire the General
and his wife, the latter q niece of U. S.
Senator D. w. Voorhees,, were entertain
ing 200 guests, among whom were Miss c.
Cannon and Miss Mabel Cannon, daugh-
ters of Congressman Cannon, Judge Will
kin, of the Supreme Court, and many
other prominent people.
The fire originated in the roof from
hanging lamps, which had been sus-
pended over the art gallery skylight,
above the stairway and in the ceiling, for
the purpose of Illuminating the glass
The fire smouldered and burned in the
attic thirty minutes, the first notice of it
being the falling of the burning timbers
of the roof, which fell down through the
skylight, crushing everything beneath as
it fell. The frightened guests, bareheaded
and in party apparel, jumped through
open windows and fled through back
doorways to the surrounding grounds,
which were wet with heavy rains A
number of gentlemen in the smoking
room upstairs were cut off from the main
stairway, but made their escape down the
servants stairway. The entire scene was
one of confusion and fright.
Ladies ran through the crowd seeking
their husbands, who they feared were be-
ing consumed by the flames. But little
of the furniture was taken out from the
ground floor, none being saved in the
upper stories. General Dodge, in at
tempting to remove some of the pro-
perty, met with close call, the roof of
the porch falling in above him and was
held only by projecting pillow.

PASSAGES ANSWER.
The City Maintains Its Right to Bull
Its Sewer.

The City Maintains Its Right to Build
Hts Sewer.
The hearing of the case OF the Newark
sale, to restrain the latter from building a
sewer emptiDg into the Passaic River, was
resumed by Chancellor McGill this morn
ing.
An array of eminent counsel was pres
ent Thomas N McCarter and Colonel
Price appeared for the city of Newark and
Senator Griggs and City Counsel Rush, of
Passaic, represented that city.
The proceedings We're opened by Sena-
tor Griggs, who read the City of Passaic's
answer. The answer denies that the Pas
sale River is or ever has been at the point
where the complaint takes its water there
from stream of pure water, and declares
that at that point the water is frequently
impregnated with salt; that said river,
from the earliest settlement of this county,
has been used for purposes Of public navi-
cation. That at the point where the COM
plainants' works are located the bank on
both sides and the bed of the stream be-
low low water mark belongs to the State
of New Jersey, except such as has been
conveyed away by the Riparian Commits
sionerS.
The answer then goes on to speak of the
operations of the general government be-
tween 1872and 1882 to improve the nayiga-
tion of the river between Belleville and
Passaic, so that there is a depth of SIX
feet at low and much greater depth at
high tide, and declares that greater
quantity of the sewerage from the city of
Newark is in consequence of these i'm
provements taken up to the intake of the
complainants. 1t AYERS that chemists
have said that the water supply of the
city has been polluted by tnis sewerage
from Newark and it is dangerous further
to attempt to supply Newark with pure
water from that source
Then at length it sets forth the various
acts Of the Legislature effecting the So
ciety for the Establishment Of Useful
Manufactures and the consequent build
ing up of manufactures along the Passaic
River. The answer insists that the city

HE WAS A NOISY BURGLAR.
All Mr.. Browns Family Were Weakened
and the Thief was Nipped.

All Mr.. Browns Family Were Wakened,
and the Thief was Nipped.
Between three and four o'clock this
morning Policeman Murray, of the Third
precinct, was patrolling his post between
Central and Hoboken avenues, on Hop
kins avenue, when Mrs. Brown, bare
headed and about half dressed, ran out of
No. 1O7 and called loudly for help
Murray made dash for the door, when
the woman told him that her husband
had captured man who had entered the
house. He went down the stairs, where
he found two men on the floor, one of
them partly dressed and holding the
other down Murray took his man to the
station where he was locked up.
1t was with little concern that the fell
low, who gave his name as Edward Sand
ford, tifty-nine years old, without any
home, came up before Judge Wanser this
morning. He was asked If he had any
thing to say and he replied:-"No, / will
likely go up for trial. My pal got away.
He opened the window and went in. I
had Just got in when duffer collared
me-"
1t seems that he made so much noise in
effecting an entrance that he woke the
entire family of five persons. Mr.. Brown
ran to the basement and had hard tussle
with the would-be burglar, while his wife
started out in search of q policeman.
Sandford will go before the Grand Jury.

of Passaic has the right to permit its
drainage water and sewerage to flow into
the Passaic River and denies that to do
SO will pollute the water or render it any
more unfit for public use than it now is.
1t charges that the water now used by
the complainants is materially polluted
by it's own sewerage, which is carried up
the river by the flood tide, and that such
pollution is many times greater than
would be caused by all the sewerage of
the city of Passaic. Then it denies that
the sewerage of the Passaic would pollute
the river to any appreciable extent, as the
water is purified by its flow of four miles,
between the city of Passaic and the New
ARK intake. 1t denies the right of the
complainants to Establish itself on the
river where it now has its pumping
station.
1t further denies that the present source
is Newarl1's only supply
The answer is accompanied by an aff1-
davit made by Henry Wurtz, q chemist OF
New York, setting forth the results of
several analyses he has made of the Pas
sale water.
Mr.. McCarter opened the argument in
support of Acqueduct Boards bill. He
claimed that the river was public one,
and must be kept fee from pollution. He
said that the rights of the inhabitants
along a river to the use of the water for
domestic and culinary purpose are para
mount to those of navigation.

SNAKE HILL STILL THERE.

The Story of the Attempted Jail Deliv-
cry Make Old Residents Smile.
Snake Hill, whether within or without
the Penitentiary walls, was just as quiet
and peaceful this morning, as if a plot to
cut holes in the prison walls and the
bodies of the keepers had never been
imagined by sensationalist. One of the
keepers laughed when / spoke TO him
abont 1t this morning.
''Those tuspicious looking instru-
ments," said he, ''were nothing more nor
less than such as have always been al
lowed the prisoners to make bone and
ornaments and other bric-a-brac during
their idle moments"
Warden Grimes, however, whom
/ found sitting in his of
took different view of the matter. He
contemplated the results of his "spring
cleaning" of the cells with considerable
satisfaction. There was a miscellaneous
assortment of files and other small instru-
ments, but the most dangerous weapon
appeared to be the knife which dropped
out of convict Kroebel's pocket. This was
a serviceable article, and must have been
of great use to Kroebel in cutting up his
tobacco.
Several other instruments were discov-
cred in a search made this morning, but
nothing more suspicious than a small
linen bag, attached to the end of a string,
found in the air shaft of Kroebels cell,
Kroebel had evidently tried to lower files
or other instruments from the ventilator
of his cell to the one directly beneath
him, occupied by Mulligan, who is des-
perate character; but he made miscal-
culation, however, as the ventilator in
Mulligan's cell opens in the opposite end
The old residents of the Hill say the
whole thing was q big fake designed to
show the need of more keepers, and thus
get back some ''old chummies" who re-

Almost Under the Train.

Hubert Tone. an employee of the Ames
Steel Works. was among the visitors who
this morning inspected the new English
locomotive with which the Pennsylvania
Railroad is now experimenting. He was
on the train to which the locomotive was
to lump off at Washington street, but
slipped and fell. He lay unconscious along
the track until the train passed by, the
steps of the cars barely missing his head.
When he was picked up it was found that
he had severe scalp wound. He was
taken to his home.

TONY TURNED AT LAST.
And Now He's Brought a Legal Curiosity
Into Court.

Into Court.
Antonia Loesher, abootblack, sold out his
business to Vilencia Mulligan for $50 some
time ago. Tony, as Loesher is familiarly
known, kept boot blacking establish
ment in front of Symes' restaurant. and
when he sold out he started one in opposi-
tion, next door, which is the front of
Coopersi Hail. This angered Mulligan
and he began series of legal proceedings
against Tony which were tritiing in their
nature and unsupported at the examina-
tions.
Tony, after having been arrested on
half dozen charges and brought before
as many different Justices of the Peace,
all of whom dismissed him, became tired
of this and caused Mulligan's Indictment
for barratry.
There has been only one case of this
nature tried i'll this county and but two
other indictments. The defendants in
each of them pleaded guilty. Mulligan
will be tried Tuesday.

The Grand Jury has indicted James NJ
Davis, the president of the old Board of
Police Commissioners. The Indictment
charges him with extortion, and is founded
on some fees he has exacted in disposing
of cases brought to his notice as Justice
of the Peace, an Office which he has held
for many years.
An indictment has also been found
against Mrs. Pohlman, the proprietress OF
Pohlman's Garden, on the Hill top. The
charge against her is that of keeping a
disorderly house, and is the result of her
arrests by the police for her musical
