A SENSATIONAL FIRE.
HobOken's Assistant Fire Chief Over
come by Smoke in a Burn
ing Tenement.

Fire broke out in the four story brick
tenement house at No. SO First street.
Hoboken, late last night, and several per-
sons narrowly escaped with their lives
Fully 1900 people watched the flames
and applauded the efforts OF the firemen.
1t was shortly after ten O'Clock that a
passer by on First Street noticed thick
black smoke pouring from the third a ioor
of the building. He ran to the nearest
fire alarm box and sent an alarm In the
meantime the tenants came rushing down
stairs, some of them half clad.
A cry went up from the crowd when in
the smoke which poured from the top
floor woman with q child ins her arms
appeared. She was screaming hysterl-
cally and looked as ii she was about to
jump. The crowd yelled for her TO wait.
The woman was seen to turn back into
The room clasping tight her child to her
breast, and the crowd breathed a sigh Of
relief The next moment a handsome
Newfoundland dog climbed on the win
dow'sill of the third story and howled
piteously. The dog looked down at the
crowd and then fell back into the building
overcome by the smoke.
BY this time the fire engines had ratrled
up. Two extension ladders were elevated
and firemen were soon clam bering up
them. Nos. 3 and / engines quickly had
steams on. but some of the hose was SO
rotten that it was useless. Tho police,
under Acting Sergeant Flattery, kept the
crowd back and gave the firemen plenty
of opportunity to work.
Among the first to go up the extension
ladder was Assistant Chief L. w. Goerig.
Goerig went through the roof to the
fourth floor, and then to the third. The
next moment several of the firemen
stumbled across Goerfg's inanimate form.
AT first it was thought that the Asslsta mt
Chief was dead, and the greatest excite
ment prevailed He was carried down
the ladder by firemen and taken into
drug store. He had been overcome by
the smoke.
Daniel Gildersleeve, who lived on the
second floor OF the burning building, was
The rest OF the family were on the street
and were almost distracted They begged
OF the firemen to save him. Two men,
bers Of No. Truck rushed through the
smoke In the Railways to the second floor,
and the next moment they appeared
carrying the sick man on their shoulders.
Mrs. Petersen and her baby were car
ried to the roof by firemen, and then to
the roof of No. o. when they were
lowered to the sidewalk
The flames We're confined to the upper
floors OF the building. The lower floors
were damaged by water. On the fourth
floor lived the Peterson family; ON the

NINE BUDDING rOUGHs.

Gathered In by Dete ctives In the p. r. X.
Nards-The Mischief They DO.
Detective Morris yesterday made raid
on gang of small boys whose depreda-
tions in and about the Pennsylvania Rail
way yards have Of late proved great
source of annoyance to the railway OIL
cials. They have been in the habit of con-
Gregating about the yard as early as day
break, indeed IL would seem some OF them
make their homes there, sleeping in the
cars at nights and hanging around during
the entire day. They climb into the win
dows OF the cars which have been left
open for airing and commit all sorts of
depredations. They hide under the seats
and often when the early trains are being
shunted. pull the bell ropes and thus en-
barrass the work OF the train crews. <fs<1
IL Is from just such boys that the hood
lum element OF the city's population
springs
IN THE DRAG NET.
The nine captured by Detective Morris
yesterday included John Flynn, age
twelve years, OF No. 1856 Washington
street; Joseph Burns, age nine years. Of
NO 100 Essex street; Lawrence Smith, age
twelve years, Of No. III Essex street;
Frank Magaskie. age thirteen years, OF
No. 1l6 Essex street: Daniel Dwyer, age
thirteen years, OF No. l61 Steuben street;
John Duffy, age fifteen years. OF No. 321
Warren street; John Foley, age twelve
years, Of No. 1888 Essex street; Albert Nc
kee, age sixteen years, Of No 50 Gregory
years, of No. 156 Steuben street, and
Henry Ambrock, age fifteen years. Of No.
ZIG Railroad avenue.
The boys were all locked up In the First
Precinct Station House cells last night
and arraigned before Police Justice
O'DonnelI this morning
Their appearance as they faced the JUS
tice drawn up in line was a curious and
interesting study. Some OF them bore
traces OF home care. The faces Of others
were smeared with CRIME and coal dust,
and they looked as though they had not
been washed since last summer. The
majority of them were In rags. and shoes
picked from the garbage dumps. Some of
them were manly loosing little fellows,
and these with tear stained faces were es-
pecially noted In contradistinction to the
tougher element that assumed the bravado
of older hoodlums.
A wHITR SHEEP.
Young Barham WAS given good name
by the detective. he was new conner
and as yet had given the railway people
no trouble OF any consequence. HE was
let 60. Nine year old Burns cried SO bit
teriy that the Justice let him go also,
after lecturing them both.
Some of them were truant players,
others never went to school, ana young
Smith, fair haired, Intelligent little fel-
low. said his lathe. wouldn't let him go "a
school. but insisted that he must hunt for
a Job. The majority Of them said they
were sent TO the railway yards to pick
coal
When the boys noticed the leniency oi
the Justice toward Burns IL was interest
ing to notice how quickly the eyes OF even
the tougher element watered aud when
the Justice sent them buck into the dock
until he should decide what to do with
them, boohoUing was sent up by the entire
crowd that reminded one OF a funeral

The College Congress Discusses the Out
look for beating xais at baseball.

Special 10 the Jersey CITY Nclcs
PRINCETON, April 30, 1891. The Prince
ton Congress met Tuesday night, in
Murray Hall. to consider methods for the
better furthering Of prInceton's interests.
The speakers were President Patton, j.
Bayard Henry OF Philadelphia, ana
ames w. Alexander Of New York.
President Patton told the students they
were members VI great corporation, and
not merely students OF college. They
should work for the interests of their COR
| poration.
He spoke OF scarcity Of money to send
out sufficient number Of catalogues to
the preparatory schools. He would like
to send million Of these books. 1t was
not the f~culty's duty to tell men to what
college tney should go, but IL was the
students duty TO inform their brethren in
these schools of Priuceton's advantages.
James w. Alexander said the best thug
| Princeton could do this spring was TO
beat Yale at baseball. Referring to Har-
| Yards iguominious crawl, he saia that
| Captain Dana and his men would be de-
| pended upon for the work and the stu
denss es and graduates nun.bs would qr sks the
break up that trio OF old Universities.
We have got the best Of ii. We have
| only 10 wait, and depend upon It they will
come aud knock at our doors.
| Mr.. Henry received an ovation as he
came forward 20 speak. He placed ath
| letic interests rather In the background,
and said that Princeton wanted men who
would go out into the world and like
| Princetonians Of old fight for truth, for
| liberty and for their God. He said 1t was
due TO Princeton that we are living In the
| United States Today.
| James w. Alexander declared that he
| read the papers to see what was In them
about Princeton. President Patton then
| rose to expressly declare how grateful he
| felt TO the newspapers of Philadelphia,
| New York and other cities for the service
they were rendering 10 Princeton. The
| Congress will take immediate steps for
the furtherance OF its objects.
