DETECTIVE FBNToN's GOOD sENsL
Drops a Burglar Chase to Rescu-
Children From Fire.

Detective Dan Fenton of Hoboken Po-
lice Headquarters covered himself with
glory yesterday afternoon by saving the
lives Of two small boys from a horrible
death by burning. The big detective at
the time was chasing a burglar and had
his arms full of the booty which he had
recovered: Out when he saw the chill
dren's clothing in flames. he dropped the
booty, gave up the chase for the burglar
and proceeded to save the children. He
tore off his coal and wrapped it about
the burning clothes, smotherIng the
flames.
The children had been playing around
a bonfire, when a mischseyous hey came
along with a can of oil and threw it in
the fire. The can exploded and some
of the burning liquid fell upon the chill
dren's clothes. They were burning fierce
ly when Fenton arrived in the nick of
time.
Fenton called the ambulance and had
the children taken to Police Headquar-
ters. There DIR. Simon dressed their
burns. but as they were quite bad he
ordered the children taken TO st. Mary's
Hospital. At the station the youngsters,
between groans n sobs. said they were
Charles Haake, seven years DID,, of No.
100 Marshall street. and Freddie Schultz,
six years old, of No. TO First street.
After leaving the chiidren safe in the
station house Fenton resumed his hunt
for the burglar whom he let go at will
to save the youngsters. He did not sue
coed in capturing him, but recovered the
booty. Who the burglar is the police
refused to tell. Last night, however,
Fenton arrested a young notorious crook
by the name of John Dalton. % years
old, of No. lis Marshall street, upon the
complaint of Patrick Reilly of No. 7O1
First street. The police did say, how
burglary perpetrated by the burglar Fen
ton missed in the afternoon and that
they expected to get the chief crook this
hue, and is wanted for a number of
crimes.
Although Fenton probably allowed a
theless thought more of by the people
of Hoboken for his heroic action in saw
ing the lives of the children.

NEW INDUSTRY IN THE CITY.
Ruete Conduit Company Will
Eocate on Ffrst Strcet.

There is a new industry in town. En-
~ployment will be given to at least one
hundred men. Love & Wanser, the real
estate dealers of Montgomery street, are
responsible for the location of the con-
Germ in this city. The firm is the Ruete
Conduit Manufacturing Company, and it
will occupy the buildings at Nos. 1854 and
16 First street. The company makes a
conduit for carrying electric wires
through buildings.
The pipe is insulated and confines the
electricity rendering fires impossible. The
Fire Underwriters of New York are urg-
ing the adoption Of the conduit. The COM
pany also makes an insulated conduit of
sufficient size to carry electric light
wires under ground. The insulation is
of such a nature as to prevent the cleo
tricity from damaging water or gas
mains. It is a preventative of electro
lysis. The conduit is a patent of Elec-
trician Greenfield the p~atentee of the
curb out of arc lights.
There is only ONE other concern manux
featuring the conduit in the country.

Grand Lodge insisted on an English
