ASLEEP IN A BURNING BED.
Heck Aroused By the Firemen Smash.
ing In His Door.

Louis Heck, a Hoboken bartender is con-
graduating himself today that he is alive.
He is still wondering how his bed got on
fire this morning while he was asleep and
believes that some of his friends did it as a
joke. The joke, if it was one, was a very
serious matter for Heck and caused no little
trouble for the fire department.
Heck tends bar in the saloon known as the
"Nordlyset" kept by Mrs. Emily Lutz, at
No. rs Washington street. He worked all
last night and about z o'clock this morning
be went upstairs to Mrs. Lutz's apartments
over the saloon. There was no bed handy
for him to sleep in SO he made a couch with
four chairs and some blankets. In a few
minutes he was sound asleep. As he slept a
fire started in the blankets. Itdid not burst
out into a blaze at first, as might be expected.
but smoldered, issuing forth volumes of
smoke. Heck slumbered on and the fire
smoldered and smoldered until the room be-
came filled with smoke. Still he slept.
Mrs. Lutz was in the saloon, and the door
OF the room in which Heck was sleeping was
locked. About nine o'clock the smoke be-
came 80 dense in the room that it began to
ooze out into the hall and from there out to
the street. Some person saw it, turned in a
fire alarm, n a few minutes later the fire.
men were smashing in Heck's door. The
noise they made was enough to arouse the
dead. Heck awoke with a sudden Jump and
fell out of his burning couch on the floor.
On seeing the firemen be rushed from the
house in his night clothes.
In a short time the fremen with the use of
a chemical engine extinguished the fire and
discovered that part of the bed clothing and
the top of one of the chairs on which Heck
had been lying were burned. This was all
the damage done, except that a new suit OF
clothes belonging to Heck was drenched with
water by the aremen.
Fire Chief Apologize says he believes the
nre~ originated from a cigar or cigarette, al
though Heck denies that he was smok{6g
he retired.

Supreme Court Afirms the Com
vietion Of the Election
Officers.

h news that the conviction and SEN
tence Of the ballot box suffers had been
affirmed by the Court of Errors and AID
peais was the topic of conversation around
the Court House today. So long a time
mas elapsed since the trials that as a
rule everybody seemed willing to ondon
the offence and general sympathy was
expressed for the defendants.
h men affected by the decision ares
Nathaniel Fowler, William e. Reen,
James Jordan, Patrick Mahoney and
John Daily. All of the. except Reen have
been out on bail since their conviction
sentence, pending the result Of the
appeal. Reen was also out on bail up to
about fifteen months ago, when his bonds
man, James Roche, died and he was I'M
able to procure another bondsman to
lake Roche's place. Reen was COM
mitted to the County Jail and remained
there for fifteen months. About election
time last fall Sheriff Toffey and some
otners took an interest in his case and
secured a bondsman for him, Judge Hud-
speth having reduced the bail to 81. 900.
Fowler, Reen and Jordan were convicted
on July II, 1891. A man named Reedv.
the other member of the election board.
was indicted with them, but died before
the time fixed for trial The jury recon-
mended Fowler and Jordan to mercy. and
In consideration of that they were sem
fenced to six months in the Penitentiary
Heen was sentenced to fifteen months in
State Prison.
Mahoney, Daily and Thomas Mailly
were tried together on August 8 and 4
1882. Mailly was acquitted. Mahoney
and DAILY were convicted and sentenced
70 the Penitentiary for nine months.
PROSECUTOR Winfield says that the de-
ciSion OF the Court of Errors applies to
all the defendants. Although Fowler was
the only one who took out a writ of
error the decision in his case, Mr.. Win
neid says, determines the cases of the
others and they will all have to go to
prison.
1t is claimed on the other hand that tbe
decision applies to Fowler alone. as he
is the only one who took the writ Of
error. 1t is true that counsel for the
OtherS agreed to abide by the decision in
POWERS case; but 1t as suggested now
tnat there Is nothing to prevent the
others from repudfating tina agreement
ana taking out writs of error on their
W account. 1t is not likely that any
decision will be arrived at until the
syLabus of the decision is received here.
nneriH Heller has taken no action as vet.
bonds of the defendants remain in
force until they are taken into custody.
The Court of Pardons is in session now
and no doubt renewed efforts will he
mace with that tribunal on behalf of the
defendants.

After she had left the house Dolan began to
