PERSISTENT FIREBUGS.
Five Attempts to Fire Rooney's
Houses at West New York.

The residents of the sparsely settled
town of West New York. which lies just
north of Union Hill, are much concerned
and excited by five attempts during the
past week to fire row of two-story
rame buildings on Burlington avenue.
The property is owned by
John Rooney. Tuesday night the
first attempt was made. Mr.. Rooney,
while returning home between nine and
ten o'clock, saw smoke issuing in thin
stream from a window on the first story
of the house on the end of the row. He
entered the place, and in rear room
found fire smouldering In a heap of
straw, the extreme dampness of which
prevented fierce blaze. He was able to
stamp out the fire. and after searching
the premises thoroughly and not discover
ing any further traces of incendiarism,
went home.
ANOTHER ATTEMPT.
Thursday night someone piled straw
against one of the doors in the rear room
OF the same house and saturated the
straw with kerosene. Then the straw
was fired and q fierce blaze caught the
wood work, the burning straw sending
out heavy column of smoke, which gave
the alarm and Mr.. Rooney, together with
some or his neighborS, ran to the burning
building aud knocked down the blazing
door. This was the second time of saving
the row.
A watch was placed upon the house In
Which the two fires had occurred.
STILL ANOTHER EFFORT.
Friday night an attempt similar to the
second was made in the middle house of
the row. This was at about nine o'clock,
and in the darkness the miscreant was
enabled to escape before the flames were
discovered. This fire was discovered be-
ad dvyo RI n
damage was slight.
SATURDAYS WORK.
Saturday TWO attempts were made to
incinerate the row, but each time the
smoke discovered the fire in time 1t is
believed that MIR. Rooney, the owner of
the row is being prosecuted. Some months
ago a fire of mysterious origin destroyed
his valuable green houses. He is at loss
to identify his enemy. A watch is now
put upon the houses nightly.

CHRISTIAN And SAVAGE
The Latter Seems to Rule
the Roost i'll Ivy
Place.
CHURCH OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD
Windows Broken by Toughs and
Worshipers Insulted-No Aid
From the Police.
HURCH OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD.

A gang of toughs that congregates
every evening at Ivy place and Grand
street has caused the Fourth Precinct
police much trouble of late. These
toughs, besides insulting pedes-
trians, seem to take particular de-
light In throwing stones through
the windo ws of the Church of the Good
Shepherd at Ivy place an4 Summit ave-
nue.. AS soon as policeman appears, the
toughs dive into one of the many saloons
In the immediate vicinity and stay In
hiding until the bluecoat disappears.
There seems to be evidence of organ
lied persecution" said one of the trustees
of the church yesterday. "Over one hum
dred panes of glass have been broken
during the past few weeks, and we had
to place strong wire netting over the
windows to prevent further destruction.
The members of our congregation are in
suited as they go TO and from the church,
and we unfortunately are unable to pre-
vent it,"
SAMPLE CASE.
1t was nine o'clock when / left the
church and the members were on their
way home. l walked down Ivy place
ana the toughS were on deck. They
had converted the sidewalk into lake of
tobacco juice, and were singing ribald
songs. Five of the eight toughs were
drunk. and almost every passerby was
greeted with some insulting epithet.
A young girl. eighteen or nineteen
years old, come out of q nearby ''tene-
ment" and joined 'de boys"
"Annie," as the girl was called, proved
big attraction. and one of the toughs
proposed dance. Just then bluecoat
came in sight and with
cry of "cheese it, de cop," the toughs
disappeared into the hallway of the
saloon. They reappeared when the coast
was clear. A young man, accompanied
by young lady. who was passing as the
toughs came out of the hallway, was
greeted with "get on to de bloke wild de
chtppie," "hey. boss, where did yer git de
crow" and "ain't she beaut."
A PROTECTING ANGEL.
In about ten minutes another police
man appeared, but Annie came to the
rescue, saying, "Come on, fellers, come
up to de house and let's have spiel"
The toughs at once accepted the invita-
tion and adjourned to Annie's house.
Unless the police do something shortly
the residents of the vicinity threaten to
take the law into their own hands and
exterminate the gang.
