1t Is marvellous how the ~confiagration

the fact of it's origin in a building in

Had the beginning been in one of the
frame rookeries, nothing could have pre-
vented an appalling loss of life.
AS it is. the tragedy is bad enough. The
loss Of everything they owned. even to
their working clothes, by many of the
poor people, shows the necessity Tor
better protection in this city. In New
York and Brooklyn. the frame tenement
has long been condemned. In Newark,
the erection of such a death trap within
the fire limits would not be tolerated.
Jersey City is practically the only place
IN the East where such an atrocity is
permitted.

The Street and Water Commissioner
at a meeting yesterday afternoon dis
charged all but two of the Republican
clerks employed in the Water Depart
ment. Those yet holding on are I. w.
Startup. assistant clerk of the Board, and
Benjamin Halleck. The clerks removed
yesterday were:-J. w. Ellison, o. K.
Gardiner, Henry C. Petty, A. l.. Headden
and Thomas Johnston, 800 a month men;
M. J. Livingston G. w. Lambertson,
SIS a month clerks; Henry Knoop and
J. H. Koplinger, reassessors; Henry
Doneker, assistant Taper, and Louis
Meyer, Jr., clerk to Engineer Ruggles.
There are three reassessors. The third
one is ex-Fire Commissioners Daniel
Shea. He is a veteran and cannot be re-
moved. To succeed the $500 a month men
these were experimentation Lenahan,
Charles Hart, Albert Lose1, Dominick
Mcmahon, August Bahr and William
Simon. To succeed the SIS a month men
John Gable, Charles Freeland, Albert En-
mis-, Fred Nissan, John Gildea and H. T.
Cox were appointed.
The clerical force was increased at the
request of the heads of the Water De-
partment, who say they have found af-
fairs confused and not UP to date. The
extra men appointed win not be retained
for any length of time. To the increase
in the salary list Commissioner Brown
made a big kick. He seemed better
pleased when informed that the increase
was perhaps temporary. To succeed the
reassessors who were dismissed George
A. Bowker and Joseph D.. Franci were
appointed. John j. Kelly was appointed
assistant Taper. Joseph O'Mara was APP

men removed Frank Petery and Michael
O'Rourke were appointed at salaries of
$50 a month.
The Board is to meet again on Friday
to consider the case of Byron Fairchild,
the veteran, who since his appointment
has only occasionally reported for duty.
Charges I've been preferred against hin
and he will doubtless be dismissed. The
whole Board will vote for his removal.
Clerk Bouton was directed to advertise
for proposals for the furnishing of special

DOG CATCHER BAFFLED.
Ivy Place Woman Rescues Her Pet
and DOES Up the Captor.


A strange tug-of-war occurred yester-
day afternoon on Ivy place, near Grand
street. 1t was witnessed by a large
crowd. In the struggle the contestants
nearly played the Solomon act with a
dog catcher visited the Fourth precinct
yesterday with his butterfly net and his
travelling cage and made a raid upon all
the dogs running al liberty around the
Junction. 1t proved a fruitful field, and
in halt an hour he had secured a dozen
dogs which he landed safely in his wagon.
Having finished at the Junction, he start
ed down Grand street followed by a
crowd of hoodlums and the owners of
some of the captured dogs.
AT Ivy place and Grand street the dog
catcher caught sight of a small black
terrier and Selling his net he started
after it. He caught the animal without
difficulty.
He had the door of the cage open and
was in the act of putting the dog in when
a woman came rushing out of a tenement
on Ivy place, screaming at the top of her
voice for him to drop her pet at once.
The dog catcher only laughed and pro-
ceeded to and the dog in the cag
He was standing on the wheel of the
wagon and had almost accomplished his
object when he felt a strong hand upon
his collar and before he could say Jack
Robinson he was sprawling in the street.
With the true instinct of a dog catcher
he held on to his tiny victim. When he
regained his feet, his ~assailant, Mrs.
Mary Ford, the owner of the dog, made
at him and rave him an extremely lively
tussle.
"Give me my dog, you BRUTE" she
screamed as she scratched at his face and
tore at his clothes. Give me my dog
or it won't be well for you"
The official destroyer of CANNES did not
say nit" but he made motions to that
terrier with one hand while he parried
the blows of the excited woman with the
other. He had the dog by the scruff of
its neck. Suddenly Mrs. Ford seized it
by the hind legs. Then came the tug-of-
war.
Mrs. Ford and the dog catcher pulled
and the poor dog yelped with pain. Mrs,
Ford, while she had her hands occupied
with the dog, used her feet with good
effect upon the dog catcher and he was
compelled to call upon his two assistants
to help him.
They were on the point of attacking
Mrs. Ford when the crowd interfered in
her behalf and rescued the dog, which
she landed safely in the house amid the
cheers of all who had witnessed the
fracas.
When the struggle began the door of
the age was open to admit Mrs. Ford's
terrier 1t remained open during the
fight and several of the intelligent brutes
inside the cage took advantage of the
opportunity offered n mad good their
escape.
