about his retirement from the Froth-
ingham Mr.. Laine said last night:
There is no Ill feeling between Mr..
rockingham and myself and has not
been. He never interfered with my
plans or opposed my policy in manag-
ing the house. My resignation was
caused by a difference of opinion about
one of the stage hands.
1.-THE Republican in its article on Sat-
urday treated me most unfairly-in fact
outrageously. l consulted my attorney
about the matter Saturday and will in
all probability bring an action of libel
against that paper"

HORSE BURNED TO DEATH.
Three Early Morning Fires Kept
Brooklyn Firemen busy.

A horse valued at $3.50 was burned to
death early this morning in fire which
broke out at o'clock In a stable at
6S Rapelyea street, Brooklyn. The fire
was discovered by a policeman. who sent
in an alarm. When the firemen ar
rived the building was enveloped In
flames.
The horse was heard stamping about
In It's stable. and Its cries were pitiful.
The flremen tried to rescue II, but the
fire held them back and the animal per
ished. The fire was extinguished within
half hour. after causing damage OF
$500 TO the building and destroying har-
ness and other property valued at $50.
There were two fires within TWO hours
In n three-story building at 6l7 DeKalb
avenue, Brooklyn, before sunrise this
morning. The first alarm came ut 1.3O
o'clock, when flames were discovered In
the cellar. After the fire was extin-
guished the iiremen left. At I o'clock a
Waterman discovered that the flames
had broken out afresh In the ceiling of

MIGRANTS USELESS.
Bayonne Firemen Unable to Get
Water to Quenoh Fire.
Big Plaster Factory and Three
Other Buildings Destroyed.
A Suspicious Fire Last Week Adds
to the Mystery.

BERGEN POINT, N, j.. Aug. 2o.-Ths
Eastern Plaster Board Company's
buildings. covering three acres at Q
point where Newark Bay meets the XIII
Won Kuii. were destroyed by fire at
o'clock this morning. The fire started
In one OF the sheds adjacent to the main
building. and spread with such rapid
ity that tho whole fire department OF
Bsyonne was unable to frest 1T.
1t is believed by many that the FIRE
was the work OF an organized gang OF
incendiaries. This theory Ii supported
by the recent attempt Of fire bugs to
destroy the grand stand OF the New
Jersey Athletic Club, which is within a
stones throw Of the Plaster Board fac
tory.
Last Thursday the steward OF the
Athletic Club discovered candle
stuck into the ground beneath the grand
stand. 1t had evidently been placed
there to burn down the place. Fortu-
nateiy. however. a gust OF wind had
extinguished the candles flame before
II had more than scorched the beams
Another ground for the belief that the
burning of the Plaster Board Work
was the act of an incendiary, Is the
fact that three hydrants on Avenue a,
situated respectively at First, Second
and Third streets, could not be worked
by the firemen Of the fire-engines, which
responded to the alarms sent out. Only
one that OF the Independent Company.
succeeded in getting water from h by
drant on the County Boulevard, l,aoo
yards away from the burning buildings.
BY that time the fire had run riot
through the whole place, and the soil
tary stream turned upon 1t was turned
into steam before 1t reached the flames.
When the hydrants were finally cleared,
by having their valves chopped off with
axes, all hope for saving the Plaster
Board, Works had vanished, and the fire
men contented themselves with saving
the adjoining property. the nearest OF
which Is dwelling house. several nun
dre1 feet away. -
AT 9 o'clock this afternoon. there were
parts OF the smouldering ruins The
tiremen had. however, withdrawn. as
there was nothing within reach OF these
fires that could serve as further fuel.
There was a rumor mat the Eastern
Plaster Board Company's property was
to have been sold at auction this after
noon. George w. Sessions, one OF the
Company's directors. said that this ru-
NOR was false.
The damage to the buildings IL about
34O0UO, and TO the stock, about $1,000.
counts for the disabled condition of the
MIGRANTS on the ground that they had
been used by inexperienced men work
ing as PAYERS on the County Boule-
ward. This Is not, however, the gener-
ally received opinion.
The factory had not been In opera
ton for over month.
