buildings main structure is but one
and a half stories in heighth and is al
most entirely below the street level.
The fire at no time extended below the
conductors room in the tower The
room was but partially wrecked and
the same is true of the tower above.
No damage was caused the main depot
structure except by water and to a
small extent in the baggage room and
mems waiting room. On account of
the use of wood in the construction of
the ceilings and wall the damage to
them was slight.
Smoke was discovered in the conduc-
tors room at 12.45 o'clock by depot en-
ployes who We're unable to ascertain it's
source. An alarm was sent in and
brought to the scene the district COM
panes Soon after Chief Hickey's ar
rival he caused a second alarm to be
rung which brought six additional COM
panies to the scene.
HARD TO REACH THE FIRE.
The flames in the walls and ceiling of
the room We're quickly extinguished,
but there was considerable difficulty
in reaching the fire inside the tower
They finally broke through the roof
whose steep sides made foot hold i'm
possible and formed a sliding place
for slate which made the work of the
tiremen exceedingly dangerous
Further danger was threatened by
a miniature locomotive weighing 400
pounds which surmounts the tower.
The flames had weakened the super
structure which it was feared might
not be able to sustain the weight upon
it.
Finally the water from the many
| lines of hose showed it's effect and the
| flooding made quick work of the fire
| The estimated loss of $4,000 is prob
| ably more than sufficient to pay for
| the necessary repairs
During the progress of the fire the
| baggage room and ticket office were
| cleared of their contents and the freight
| and passenger cars in the depot yard
were switched to the freight yard and
| out on the main tracks.
COST TWENTY THOUSAND.
The station cost $4,000 and was
| erected in 1888. 1t is owned by the Cen
| trail Railroad of New Jersey and is also
| used by the Ontario and Western COM
| pany. The yard traffic was not inter
| rupted during the progress of the fire
nor was there any interference with the
| running of regular trains. Hundreds
of persons watched the flames from the
Lackawanna avenue bridge and from
slightly points on the West Side and
across the river.
A poorly insulated electric wire is
thought to have caused the blaze.

tion is due to the fact that A. l.. Fran
co.'s, the Democratic member from the
Second ward, will cast his vote for the
reelection of Mr.. Schrefer.
The Democrats have caucussed and
hit upon Mr.. Jennings, of the Four
teenth ward. as their candidate. There
was no squabble in reaching that selec-
ton.
w. j. Welsh, of the Ninth, is the
only pronounced opponent to Mr..
Schrefer, but if he is convinced that
he cannot secure the one Democratic
vote necessary to elect, he will prob-
ably retire from the field at caucus
time. He is supported by Members
Wormser, Carson and Williams. If he
wins over a Democrat it will be b. M
Davis of the Fourth ward. In that case
Mr.. Welsh is within two Republican
votes as many as Mr.. Schriefer.

1t is said that every hearty laugh In
which man or woman INDUCES tends to
prolong life, as it makes the blood move
more rapidly and gives new and different
stimulus to all the organs of the body
from what is in force at other times.
Therefore, perhaps, the saying, Laugh,
and grow fat" is not an exaggerated one,
but has fondation in fact No truer
words We're ever uttered than those which
stae so clearly: Laugh, and the world
laughs with you; weep, and you weep
alone" The jolly, wholesome, happy
hearted people are those who have most
friends and see the best that life holds out
to them.-Churchman.
