SEVEN COWS BURNED.
And a Horse Also Loses His Life in a
Suspicious Bayonne Fire.

And Horse Also Loses His Life in a
Suspicious Bayonne Fire.
A lively blaze of supposed incendiary
origin was discovered just after one
o'clock this morning in small barn
standing in the rear of the double two
story frame building Nos. 20 and % West
Twenty-frst street, Bayonne. When first
noticed. this fire had gained so much head
way that no attempt could be made
toward saving the seven cows and one
horse stabbed in the barn, those who
first arrived on the scene being compelled
to stand by and listen to the piteous
moans and cries of the poor animals.
Ten minutes later, and before the Bya-
onne Fire Department had time to re-
spoud to the alarm from the Begen Point
bell tower, the flames crossed the three
foot passRgeway separating the barn and
building and soon licked up the rear OF
the latter structure. 1t was not until the
house had been Quilted, and only few
timbers of the barn remained standing,
that the fire was put out The house was
occupied by Hebrew named Rothstein,
who used the lower floor as tailoring
establishment and the upper apartments
for domestic purposes.
The loss is estimated at 5000, partly
covered by insurance. Ex-Councilman
James Murphy, Jr., represents the COM
panies holding the policies, and will in
vestigate the alleged suspicious circum-
stances attending the fire. 1t is said that
the cows were only fit for butchering and
the horse was physical wreck. A large
barrel of machine oil was about the
premises and bale of hay was slowed
away in the tailor shop, which contained
half dozen machines and other ap-
paratus
