While fires continue to be affairs OF common oc-
currence In Nyack, the town refuses to authorize
a modern fire alarm service repeatedly asked for
by the hremen. and the town officials take no
steps toward tracing the origin OF the many re-
cent fires in the three villages. on Sunday night
the De Pew stables IN Railroad-ave. were de-
stroyed and on the same night considerable dam
age was caused to the paper box factory in the
old shoddy MILL The De Pew fire may be traced
to sparks from the locomotives the building
adioined the engine yards. and this seems prob
able because this site four fires have occurred
IN the last years. each one being traced to
sparks from the locomotives. Some people believe,
however. that the fires on Sunday night were OF
incendlary origin. Such opinions worthy OF

JOHN T. STANLEY KILLED,

Between Z and o'clock Wednesday
evening John T. Stanley was knocked
off the ID. and n. Railroad and died
from the injuries received yesterday
morning about O'Clock. He was at
work in town at the carpenters trade
and was on his way to his home in
East Durham when the sad event hap
pened. Full particulars have been
hard to gather. He was evidently
walking on the track when box car
being showed by the shifting engine
struck him infiicting the injuries from
which he died. One arm was broken
in two places, his side was bruised and
there must have been some fracture of
the skull Blood flowed from the nose
and ears DIR. A. Cheatham was sum
moned and went at once to the scene OF
the accident He found Mr.. Stanley
unconscious and he never regained con-
seriousness. He was taken to the
Watts Hospital where DR.. y. NJ. John
son was called in and everything that
medical skill could suggest was done
for the unfortunate man, but he was
beyond human agencies. The reports
as to his condition at the time Of the
accident are conflicting. When taken
up pint bottle about half full of white
corn whiskey was found in his pocket.
He was perhaps forty years old and
leaves wife, but no children.
