Between 10 and IL O'Clock, a. M, last
Tuesday, smoke was seen issuing from the
second story windows of Gains hotel, OPP
posite the Register Office. The inmates of
the house were notified. and on going to
the large parlor on the south side of the
building discovered flames in pile of pa
pers. &c. The bucket brigade was soon
in active operation and the flames sub
dued. The intense heat of the room,
however, reminded some of the specta-
tors fire was still barking around, SO an
Ak was procured, the floor broken up
and. sure epaugh, fire was found under
meath. Here the advantage of having a
chemical engine came in. The hose
therefrym was run into the room. and in
short time the last vestige of the de-
stroying element was overcome. Smoke.
! however, continued to come from the
third story windows, but it was merely
the remnant of the flames below. How
the fire originated is not known, but it
was evidently purely accidental. Mrs.
E. Murphy's stove store. beneath the
burned parlor, was considerably injured
in the ceiling and the stock by water.
w. V. Snyder, of Newark, for six years
q cadet at the Bordentown Military lnsti-
tute, and who had reached the rank of
lieutenant, was last Saturday dismissed
from the school for taking part in the
hazing Of one of the scholars. Snyder
had first-class record, and was one of
the oldest of the scholars. of whom there
was about so, ranging in age from IA to
20 years. 1t appears that the cadets had
been missing articles of jewelry for some
time past. and suspicion rested on one of
the scholars. The night of January 81,
Snyder, with several companions, went to
the room of the suspected student, having
procured the key in some manner, and it
is stated maltreated him, with the inten-
ton of making him confess to the thefts,
which he refused to do. As hazing is
prohibited by the laws governing the i'm
stitute. the faculty, as soon as the matter
reached their ears, determined to bring
the guilty parties before them. The en-
tire school was summoned, and Snyder,
who was accused of being the ringleader
in the azing. was suspended until such
time as he sees fit to return and conform
to the rules. During the day about IA
Others, among them those implicated in
the hazing, also left the school in sympa-
thy for Snyder. and had their baggage
sent home. Several others were about to
pack their trunks and leave, but they
changed their minds and concluded to
stay. Rev. Thomas II. Landon, principal
of the school. is determined to put stop
to hazing. even if all the pupils have to
be expelled. From the talk of some OF
the cadets it is likely that several remain
ing students will leave unless Snyder is
j e-inetated.
