Fire in Hauck's Brewery.
A report was circulated through New
ark last evening that the malt house con-
nected with Hauek's brewery, in Harrl-
son, had taken fire and a large quantity
of malt had been consumed. A reporter
who went to Harrison found many differ
ent versions as to how the fire started.
From al eye witness it was learned that
the fire had started in the malt house, put
was quickly subdued through the prompt
ness of the Harrison Fire Department.
An employee of the brewery was next seen,
and it was evident from the guarded
manner in which he talked that he was
trying to conceal several facts. lie

finally stated that the bricks In the
malt house had become overheated, and
coming in contact with the malt, caused
considerable smoke. He also stated that
there was a slight fire in the fermenting
room about four O'Clock. town o4c1ai,
upon being interviewed, said that the
Fire Department. in Harrison had had
nothing to do for some time, and some
one employed in the brewery Thought IL

Afterward the official retracted his state
ment in regard to the wood, and said that
the ice machine was on fire.
One eye witness states nat some were
trying to conceal the fact that the brewery
was on fire, which was caused by some
careless employee, and but for the Depart
ment's promptness the fire would have
been a large one. The fire occasioned
great excitement, Harrison avenue being
thronged with people.
Growing at the Railroads.
A large number of Haddonfield citizens
met in the Town Hall last evening to dis
cuss the question of better railroad facili
ties. $Mr. Henry D. Moore acted as chair
man, and Lawyer Charles r. Stevenson
as secretary. Mr.. Moore said the citizens
of Haddonield paid first-class fares for
third-class accommodations, and in
stanced the frequent delay of the train
service which caused business men to ar
rive at their offices late.
Frederick Sutton, q merchant OF Ph1la-
delphia, voiced a sentiment of the meet
ing when he said that increased railroad
facilities were a necessity n would in
crease real estate valuation in the Dor
ough.
Captain Samuels spoke of his being
elected when he had purchased a quar-
terly ticket and had left it at home.
The resolutions were presented by Cap
tain William Samuels, and were to the
effect that the prosperity of the town was
seriously hampered by the inferior rail
way Accommodations, which the fesolu-
tions said might be improved in the fol
lowing re~spects:-That the trains should
arrive and leave on the scheduled time;
the passenger coaches should be of the
modern designs, kept in good repair, In a
clearly condition, and better illuminated
than those now used.
As the Philadelphia and Reading Rail
road Company, leSsees of the Philadelphia
and Atlantic City Railroad, were said
to be giving their patrons all the advan-
tages of modern railroad transportation,
it was further resolved that the residents
of Haddonfield request the Philadelphia
and Atlantic. City Railroad to extend
their road by building a branch road into
the borough.
These resolutions were adopted unani-
mously.
She Haunts the Trenton Police.
For several weeks past a Polish woman,
dressed in black, with a small child in
her arms and a prayer book in her hand
has spent the greater part of her time be-
tween Justice MatheSon'S Office, in Tren-
ton. and Chief McChesney's office, at the
Police Station. The woman's husband
left her, and she wants to get him back.
She can't talk a word of English, and yet
she daily importunes the Police Magis-
trate n the Chief. For a long time they
could not understand what she wanted.
Finally they procured an interpreter, and
found that she had been elected from her
home and her goods seized by the land
lord. Justice Matheson had the goods
r~epleyined, and it has since been learned
hat she has sold them.
The poor woman goes to the Police Sta
ton several times each day, throws her.
self down on the floor and talks a straight
streak at the Chief until he becomes wild.
He has put her in a cell once, but with
coaxes and threats accomplishes nothing.
The mystery is how the woman lives and
what to do with her. Justice Matheson
is willing to have her stay at his office a
portion of the day, but he says he cannot
stand too much.
