SERIOUS FIRE.
The Flames Work Pretty Much All Over
the House and Did Serious


Monday morning at two O clock, Harry
MCPHERSON, of Bank street, turned in an
alarm at Box No. SO, corner of Bank and
Marion streets. In just two minutes and
seven seconds from the first sound of the
gong, the horses with the apparatus
dashed out of the engine house, and off
to the scene of the fire.
The flames were in the residence of
Frank Brenn, on Bank street, and before
the firemen could extinguish the flames.
the home had been practically ruined.
The fire was first discovered in the
dining room. AT the time, Mrs. Brenn
and Miss Rudy were the sole occupants
of the house. Mr.. Rrenn was spending
Sunday in Port Norris.
The noighborhood was quickly aroused
and after some difficulty Mrs. Brenn and
Miss Rudy were awakened, and the
household effects pretty generally re-
moved from the dwelling.
When the firemen got couple line of
hose run out, flames were eating their
way between the plastering and weather.
pecially difficult to fight, and the flames
quickly spread to the roof, and it was a
good deal of trouble at best for the fire.
men to get at it. The fire extinguishers
and hose were freely used, and after an
hour and half the firemen withdrew,
and the apparatus returned to the house.
About half-past three o'clock more fire
was discovered in the house, and another
alarm was turned in. The department
quickly responded, and soon the remains
ing flames we're extinguished.
The house is seriously damaged, the
flames having left it largely in the condi-
ton of Councilman Johnsons. at the
time he met similar misfortune. Itmay be
that the house is practically useless, but
only most careful examination will de-
termine the matter.
1t is understood the loss is partly COW

CRIMINAL COURT.
One or Two Very Interesting Cases That
Occupied the Attention of the Court
for Some Time---The Saxton

Case.
The special session on Friday occu-
pied good deal of the courts time. there
being twelve defendants, four of them
pleading not guilty, thus entailing that
many trials
Amanda Saxton, larceny of goods from
Oberlin Smith, guilty.
Albert Terry and Mary Ayars, break
ing and entering, not guilty.
Edward Irons, obtaining goods under
false pretense, guilty.
Edward and Anna Dolan, disorderly
house, not guilty.
Benjamin Cossaboon, stealing, not
guilty. Another count of receiving.
guilty.
Joseph Snyder, stealing, not guilty.
Joseph d. George, stealing S11, guilty.
Richard Rudder, illegal sale of liquor,
guilty.
Mary Jane Hustled, disorderly house,
| not guilty.
The first case moved was against Al
bert Terry and Mary Ayars, charged
with breaking and entering The case
is familiar having been pretty thorough
ly ventilated in the Mayors Court but a
few days ago. Albert Terry seems to
have been in love with Mary Ayars, who,
/ is married woman. The couple went
down to Fairton one Sunday some time
since, and broke open the house of Chas
Sales, and there they remained for some
time, staying over night, and making
themselves generally at home, using the
provisions of the family and using the
bed. The girl seemed to be the one to
blame, she having piloted Terry down
there. Sales said the couple had no per-
mission to enter his house while he was,
away. These facts We're pretty generally
corroborated by witnesses.
Gallantry for a woman was the defense
ofTerry. He said that Mrs. Ayars want
ed him to accompany her to Fairton, be-
cause she was afraid to go alone. He,
and Mrs. Ayars entered the house, re-
moving pane glass to get in. On Sum
day they lived there like folks at home.
While there Mary Buck came down, and
they had supper. Terry remained all
night and went home on Monday morn
ing. Mrs. Ayars remained until We'd
nesday, and the next day the arrests
We're made.
Mrs. Ayars told the same story and
added that Mrs. Sale had told her to
come to the house whenever they wanted
to.
On cross examination Mrs. Ayars said
she asked Terry to go there because she
wanted to. She did not ask her husband
to go with her because she did not want
to.
That ended the case, and then little
larceny case came up. Joseph Snyder
was the defendant, and Rosenhayn
tailor named Lissey swore that Snyder
worked for him and took the pants last
month. There was little in the case, but
time. and a good deal of that was con-
sumed.
The other two cases will not be heard
to-day, and the Court announced the fol-
lowing sentences, closing up the days
session.
Richard Rutter, 8 months in County
Jail.
Joseph DeGeorge, Reform School.
Elwood Irons, County Jail, months.
Benz. Cossaboon, County Jail. 3
months.
Amanda Saxton, State Prison, two
years.
Joseph Snyder was adjudged not
not guilty.
Albert Terry and Mary Ayars, were
also adiudged not guilty.
