engine and cars had been sent up from
South Amboy, and at the or..ers OF Chief
Beekuan the boys" and apparatus were
SOON loaded, and quick as steam could
carry them, they We're at Helmptti and
only very few minutes were needed for
them to have two large streams of water
pouring on the fire. They assembled high
enough to put it on the fourth story and
thus soon brought the raging flames
Under control That their good work
was appreciated is clear from the follow
ing letter that speaks for itself. The gift
is just what might be expected from the
well-knowD generosity of the donors.

IIELMETTA FIRE.

On lat Sunday about 10 T.. M. som
boys on the pond discovered smoke issu.

tobacco factory. The cry OF fire - ire -
rang through the village at the same
time the steam whistle SCUM ip,l the
alarm, and soon crowd had collected to
witness the flames leaping out pi the
fourth story wini"w Of the tubacco build

on hand and three hose lines were soon
paying on the ire. In about an hour it
was thought that the fire was under con-
troll, but it burst forth again with re-
d Iubled vigor and bat1led the earnl st
efforts of the fire department.
In the meantime great crowd had
witness the cohflagration. Considerable
excitement prevailed. The evening ser

forgotten; supper was lost si.ht of and

patches were sent to Hightstown and
South Amboy for help. In about an
hour the fire departments from both
these towns were OIL the grounds and
fighting the flames. The home fire c1.lI-
pany all the while were holding HE fire
at bay in the west end of the building
thus securing be safety of the adjoining
wooden structure. They made gala,t
fight and won the battle. The noble
brick structure seemed like huge pipe
filed as it was with tobacco, and oh
how it puffed and smoked 1t seemed to
defy the firenien to put out its pipe and
for five hours and half it blaZad and
smoked. 1t was fortunate that the night
WAS still 81 that the flames were not car

fortunate that the pond did not give out

with heroic purpose they fought the fire
