A BIG BLAZE.

Patent Fuel Makes Lively Sunday
Night Entertainment.
Policeman Mcguire, of the Oakland
avenue station, noticed flames issuing
from the factory of the United States
Fuel Company about half-past eight
O'Clock last night. The factory is a one
story frame building situated at the
foot of st. Paul's avenue on the bank of
the Hackensack River. Box 152 was
pulled, anG though the engines responded
promptly it was some time before they
arrived, owing to the roGghness of the
way to the factory. When they finally
arrived the river was lighted up for q
mile or more, and the blaze was visible in
New York and Newark.
A large amount of the patent fuel,
which is a compound of rosin and coal
rose TO a great height. Crowds Of people
lined the banks of the river and the ada
cent hill The fremen poured gallons
of water into the blaze, bnt the
flames did not subside until the place
was consumed. The Orion boathouse,
which Is near the burned factary. was
badly scorched and the roof burned off.
None of the boats in the house were
burned, but a large beached yacht was
consumed.
The strange part of the affair is that
the watchman, whose name is believed to
be Bennett, disappeared shortly after the
unable to find him. The loss is estimated
at S., 900.
Andrew Smiths stable, at No. so St.
Paurs avenue, was damaged by fire last
night to the extent of $500. No insur-
ance. Cause of fire unknown.

Mr.. Mitchell spoke for about three
quarters OF an hour in a highly wrought
strain of impassioned eloquence to which
nothing but verbatim report could do
justice, and then there would be wanting
the thrilling voice and earnest pleading
manner. It was the unanimous desire OF
the large audience that there should be
many such union temperance sermons.

These leather grimed goggles appear to

early part of the last century in my pos
session, in the original black flsh-shin

attaching the waist to the rim with the

rims with rigid waist and side pieces
for keeping the ''spectacles" in position.
But they were heavy and clumsy, whether
in tortoise shell or horn. and the difficulty
still remained of making q reliable hinge

ST FRANCIS HOSPITAL

Its Doors Thrown Open to the Public
Yesterday of Visitors.
Hundreds of people thronged the aisle

pital yesterday afternoon. Its doors were
thrown open for public inspection of
the building, and men, women and
children focked thither, and expressed
surprise at and admiration of the great
work of charity that has reared such a
mammoth and elegant structure in our
midst for the care of the afflicted.
The good sisters modestly received
the thanks of scores whose
lives had possibly been saved
through their untiring skill and devotion
in the months or years gone by and paid
little or no heed to the hundreds of COM
pliments that fell from the lips of all. The
mellow October sunlight streamed
through the many front windows and
lent an additional golden splendor to the
rooms with their already yellow anti
septic fioorings. 1t gave cherry aspect
to wards where hundreds lay suffering,
some dying perhaps.

The Rev. David Mitchell Tells Why
He Is a Total Abstainer.

The Rev. David Mitchell preached last
evening at the Scotch Presbyterian
Church upon the subject of Temper

present. The preacher took his text from
Proverbs Xxx, l, wine is mockery,n He
spoke substantially as rollows:-
1--WE have tonight an audience made up
of persons representing a variety of
opinions upon the subjet t of strong drink.
There are those who do lot regard VINE
as in itself bad thing. The whole per-
meating process is natural. Those again
who known what alcohol does for us in
sickness, while abstaining fromit or using
it spariDgly, are not clear TO decide
against IL altogether. We have here at
the same time a number of societies which
believe 1t to be their duty to resist
the rum power to the very death.

1t is now twenty-five years since Prof.
FIR. A. Mollenhauer started in this city
the New Jersey School of Music. During
that time the school has given musical in
struction, founded on scientific basis, to
thousands of students who have occupied
and do occupy at this time, prominent
positions in the professional world. This
Institution is a thorough school of music
in reality as we'll as in name, and is one
which can be safely recommended to stu
dents uesirous of honest, capable and con-
scientious instruction in the various
branches of music. The aim of Mr. Mol
lenhauer is to lay firm foundation for
beginners and to impart style and finish
to advanced players. He gives all lessons
personally, except in departments where
that is not practicable, and there the
most competent teachers have been se-
lected to assist him. Lessons are given
in vocalization, piano forte, organ (cabi-
net or church), violin, violincello, guitar,
flute, cornet and harmony (privately or in
classes if desired). drawing. painting and
the modern languages. The school has

AS explained in THE JERSEY CITY
NEWS of Saturday a plan has been set on
foot by little Boss Davis and his gang
which seeks to have the vacancy in the
Board of Freeholders, caused by the
death of Freeholder Donnelly, of the
Third district, not declared vacant until
after election so that the Board can elect
Cork" Murphy to fill the vacancy and
have him vote for Davis for Jailer.
The scheme is not likely to succeed,
however, as the Rebublicans seem to
have gotten on to the little game as indi-
dicated by the call for the Third district
primary, published in the EUentng Jour
nal of Saturday in which it is stated that
delegates to nominate Freeholder would
also be chosen.
Several prominent citizens of the dis
trict will appeal to the courts to block the
little game as soon as the necessity for
doing so arises.
