A Bold Robbery.

The residence of Sam Seat was en-
tered last Friday night and Mr..
Seats watch and other articles TAX
en-. On that evening the family re
tired about 10 o'clock, as is their GUS
tom, after closing and fastening the
house, Mr.. Seat himself looking after
this. When they arose Saturday
morning the front door and window
on Third street were open, and a
lawn chair that sat in front of the
house was on the sidewalk under the
open window indicating that the
thief had gotten in through it. The
room from which this window
opened had not been used as sleep.
ing apartment for some months. Mr..
Seats room on the second floor had
been entered and the clothing that
he had worn the day before was
gone. His coat and the contents OF
his pockets, except his watch and
what pocket change they contained,
were found in the lower front hall,
but the trousers and the valuables
above mentioned were gone. In the
room through which the thief is
supposed to have entered a white
Counterpart was taken from the bed
A stone weighing two or more
pounds, with which the intruder
doubtless intended to silence any one
who should make an cutlery, was
also found in this room. No part OF
the house was molested except this
room and Mr.. Seats sleeping apart
ment.
Although the open window on
Third street indicates that entrance
to the house was made here, there is
no evidence on the blinds that they
were forced open, and Mr.. Seat is OF
the opinion that the thief was in the
house when the family retired.
The watch taken was a gold hunt
ing case, made by Joseph Johnson,
25 Church street, Liverpool, and
numbered 1909. The case was plain,
except a small design on the front.
A small rough link gold chain was
taken with it.

NOTICEABLE IMPROVEMENTS.
The Cumberland Presbyterian Church
Considerably Renovated.

The Cumberland Presbyterians,
yesterday, for the first time in five
weeks, held services in their much
improved church. Excellent congre-
cations attended both services and
all seemed delighted with the i'm
provements. The floor has been re-
modelled and is covered with an ele-
giant new carpet. The walls have
been newly plastered, in stone finish,
and beautiful paneled ceiling OF
hard wood adds much to its appear
ance overhead. One seeing the room
two months ago would hardly recog-
nize it now as the same. The pastor,
Rev. j. w. Sullivan, and the congre-
CATION deserve much credit for the
zeal with which they prosecuted the
work to happy completion. A few
years ago this church had only a
limited membership. 1t was put on
substantial footing, however, dur
ing the pastorate Of that Jealous
worker and Christian gentleman,
Rev. d. A. Brigham, and since his
death, the present pastor, Rev. j. w.
Sullivan, has kept the good work
going on, and it is the intention now
to press forward until the church is
completely modernized in architec-
tural appearance. They are good
people and the LEAF-CHRoNICLE is
glad to see them prosper.

DRAPING THE FIRE HOUSES
Chief Denmead's Version of the
Discovery of Farrier's Body.

Three men were draping Fire Head
quarters on Bay street this morning. The
display Of mourning was heavier than
which usually marks the presence of
death among the fremen. In the hall ex-
Chief Tommy Leather stood in half whis-
pered consultation with one of
the Commissioners. In the throng
of men in Acting Chief Denmead's office
was the tall. spare figure of Newark's Fire
Chief. He had come down to make in
quiry concerning the funeral of the dead
chief. that the Newark Fire Department
might make arrangements to attend il.
So far as Denmead and those around him
had learned not even the date had been
fixed. II was only assumed that the an
pouncement that it will take place on
Friday was true. As the Chief
stepped out to 90 TO Newark, Finance
Commissioner Edelstein stepped In to
talk with the Commissioner
HOW THE CHIEF WAS FOUND.
The acting chief puts a somewhat new
phase ON the circumstances that attended
the discovery of the dead chiefs body
'"fhe statement / saw in THE SUNDAY
MORNING NEWS of yesterday, that Fire
Commissioner Brown had ordered a
search to be made for the Chief" Den
mead said, twas scarcely true. No one
had any idea that he was there; but
always before leaving a fire. we go
through the damaged places, spark hunt
ing as we call it. Whalen, Townsend
and Murdock were sent into rBoltwood's
cellar ON such an expedition. Presently
there came acry from below that could
have been heard for a block. 1t was
Whalen's voice.
"Good GodP' he exclaimed "Here s
the body of dead fireman"
Two men hauled il to the foot of the
steps and into the light. and then for the
first time did anyone realize that Chief
Farrier had been in the basement at ALL
1.-The body was his.
HE had told me that he was going to
see about the accident to Dinan's engine,
and we all supposed he had gone there"
Ex-Chief of Police NJ. Nathan has deter
mined to call a meeting OF old Dillgent
Hose Company for tomorrow night at
Fire Headquarters, the Commissioners
giving their consent. It was with old
Diligent that Chief Farrier did his first
service.
THE FIRE LOSSES.
Chief DenmeaG was asked Tor his esti-
mate of the losses at the fires. There had
been three fires during the day. Daniel
K. Cleary's wholesale grocery establish
ment on Eleventh and Greene was dam
aged 5000, but that had no relation TO
the series of disasters that startled the
town later in the day.
Denmead was reluctant TO make an es-
timate as to the losses at Boltwood aud
at the fatal fire on Greene street. but he
thought that probably 81 600 would cover
Boltwood's loss and that the loss at
the Greene street ire was 81 900 on build
ing and furniture.

TIE FIRE WIRES.


Extent of the Damage-Actioa the
Commissioners.
The firemen managed to keep No. Cir
cult in such shape that it could do reason
ably good service, but the rest Of its tele-
graph system was in a state Of despair.
This morning they had established what
they call the "beli circuit"
This is the circuit that connects the four
fire alarm bells with each other; Dut the
alarm can be sounded only from the bat
terry room The men who are usually on
the lockout for alarms on the electric ap-
paratuses in the engine houses have been
instructed TO listen for the big bells. and
arrangements have been made with the
police by which any officer on whose post
a rlre occurs IS 70 get information TO the
battery room as speedily as possible
AS the bells toll muca more laZily than
the gongs ring in the fire houses, this
will involve some delay in respon ing to
alarms, but Il IS the best that can be done
under the circumstances.
Speicher. the inspector of telegraph
wires. said this morning that it will cost
81. 600 TO put the wires in repair again,
and that If be had the money il would
take MIN with the hands he has at his
service two weeks 10 get the machine in
presentable order again.
Finance Commissioners Edelstein, Pc
terson and Hitler, Mr.. Cleveland and
Corporation Counsel Edwards held a
conference at Fire Headquarters this
morning in reference to the damage to
wires.
