Caught from "a Mountsin Of Boxes
on the sidewalk.

Two boys set fire to a box and then
left 1t to burn in front Of Michael Ryan's
box factory. % South Fifth avenue, to-
day. The blaze caught the ties Of the
l. road. The fire was quickly extin-
guished by the firemen.
Evidently Boxmaker Ryan has a pull
with the Mercer street police. His boxes
are piled nearly as high as the IL"
structure and occupy number of feet
In the street and on the sidewalk.
A merchant who conducts a business
next door to Ryan said that the boxes
were public nuisance and would prob
ably not be removed until some citizen
would bring suit against Ryan for
damages for stained or torn clothes.
He added that Ryan was the witness
who had testified against Capt. Stephen
son before the Lexow Committee,
charging him with taking a bride when
stephenson was in command of the
Leonard street station.
The charges. however, fell through
when 1t became known that Capt Ste
phenson was not in charge of that pre-
clnct at the time specified, and that
Capt. Ryan, a cousin of the box-maker,
had had charge Of 1t at the time. When
this was made known. Ryan's memory
Is said to have become very defective.

Committee Is, according to the record.
