a MIDDAY FIRE.

Shortly after one o. clock Tuesday after
noon, the fire alarm called the department
into action. Friendships crab was run to
Broad and Hunter streets, before it was
discovered that the fire was a mile out the
Red Bank road, the residence of Cooper c.
Jessup being in flames.
The hook and ladder truck and the old
'f6 hand engine and hose carriage, with a
compliment of men, were sent to the scene.
and were instrumental in saving all the
furniture and clothing, and general house
fixtures-even the window sash, stationary
wash stands, bath tub, range etc, being re-
moved. The building was entirely con-
sumed, except rear annex which the de-
partment tore down.
The origin of. the fire was no doubt de-
fective fue. The heater fire had been al
lowed to 90 out and the house was heated
from an open fire place. The first intima-
tion the ladies (Mr. Jessup and his son
were away at business in the city, was an
explosion in the third story. and investiga-
ton revealed that part of the house in
flames. 1t is thought TIE explosion pro-
ceeded from can of powder kept near the
chimney, in that portion of the house.
Woodbury's ancient fire engine, though
out of date as to style and finish, proved
that she ia just as good as ever. On arrival
at the house, thought OF saving the main
building was abandoned, and the old en-
gine stationed at ditch three hundred feet
from the house. Through this long stretch
OF hose astream was forced and water thrown
fifty feet high and the flames kept from
spreading to the barn and other outbuild-
iDgs. The only difficulty experienced was
in keeping up the water supply. This WAS
accomplished by digging tributary bitches,
and all the outbuildings were saved. The
house was large three story building, sur
rounded by tall shade trees and eYergreeDs,
and was a most delightful country home
and its destruction removes a beautiful
suburban land mark. The property was
purchased by Mr.. Jessup aboGt one year
ago from DR.. Lawrence, of Newark.
The loss is fully covered by insurance
placed through Camden agency, and a.
soon as the loss is adjusted Mr.. Jessnp will
erect modern residence on the site of the
one destroyed.
