BABY'S BIER ABLAZE.
The Sad Experience of a West Ho.
boken Policeman and His
Wife-Notes.

A very sorrowful scene took place at
the residence of Patrol9an Philip Doer-
fer on bod street, West Hoboken, yester-
day morning. On Sunday his infant
daughter died from the texcessive heat.
She was placed in a cssket in the parlor.
A candelahrum was placed at the head of
the coffin and the candles lighted. After
everything had been arranged, Mrs. Doer-
fer repaired to the room of her hus-
band. who has been very sick for
several days to see If he wanted any
thing. Finding he desired q drink she
started down stairs to procure it. In
passing the death chamber she thought
she smelled smoke. She opened the
door and to her horror saw that one Of
the candies had set fire to the draperies,
and that the coffin with it's contents was
rapidly being consumed by the flames.
The sight was too much for her: she
screamed and fell to the floor.
Her cries attracted the atten ton
of her husband, who, although
dangerously Ill and barely able 10 walk
managed to drag himself to the scene.
Onelook was enough. The sight OF bis
beloved child burniEg to a crisp was too
much for the weak bsreaved parent. He
reeled and fell to the foor in a faint.
Such was the scene that greeted the eyes
OF a Reighbor that called to enquire as to
his health a few minutes later. The
woman became Mortified and ran from
the house screaming for help. A
number of neighbors came to
her assistance and topether
they returned and extinguished the blaze.
An examination was made and it was
found that the right side Of the child was
badly burned. A physician was sum-
moned. and the parents revived. Faint

faithful to the league. The Lyceum rep
resentative announced that they had
signed two new men. One of the players
is Bob jackson. The Lorillards added
Jack Fields and Paul Mannion to their
list.
A long time was devoted to a discussion
over the childish WORK OF players who can
not control their tempers and walk after
the ball.. A notable instance Of this was
the performance Of a catcher of the Scots
in q game in Hoboken. IL was decided to
increase the powers of the umpire who
will now have authority TO order a man
from the field for Indifferent playing. He
will also be able to prevent a player from
induiRing In abuse by compelling him to

Newark Yacht Club and New Jersev A
G. Discussing Amalgamation.
Earnest efforts are being made to effect
consolidation of the Newark Iacnt CluD
with the New Jersey Athletic Club of
Bayonne. The yacht club has $50 mem
bers and O feet Of forty yachts. Two
years ago the yachtsmen purchased a de-
sirable property ON the Bayonne shore of
Newark BAY at the foot of West Twenty
fourth street. A club house and pier
were built. the total expenses being SI2.-
V0o- Unfortunately the yachtsmen are
much annoyed and DELAYED in getting the
craft cut OF the bay owing to railroad
ridges. This is the main reason for
seeking to join a big athletic club. That
organization has a fine harbor and
deep water, with an unobstructed course
TO waters most desired. In addition it Of
fers general athletic sports and rowing.
also the use OF a well appointed new club
house and q ten-acre field. The grounds
can be reached in 80 minutes from New
York. and about the same from Newark.
This fact is a great fnducement. AS both
clubs favor the consolidation, the loss 10
the yachtsnaen would be simply thefr
am and individuality. Main questions
have practically been agreed upon and
only details are to be arranged. The
New Jersey Athletic club will admit the

Hope Is entertained that negotiations
will result In an agreement at an early
date. Both organizations admit that n
consolidation would prove equally and
mutually advantageous.
