a cream of tartar powder OF

ANOTHER FATAL MATCH
Mrs. Julia Murphy. of Hoboken
Probably Fatally Burned
This Morning.

Mrs. Julia Murphy, rorty-two years
old, of No. 226 Madison street, Hoboken,
was so badly burned this morning while
attempting to extinguish flames in a
coal box beside the kitchen stove that
she now lies in st. Mary's Hospital in a
critical condition. Her recovery is doubt
full.
Mrs. Murphy lighted fire in the kitch-
en- stove and then unconsciously threw
the match in a coal box beside the stove
containing several newspapers. When
she saw the flames she became badly
frightened and threw water on the fire.
She stood within such range that her
dress caught fire and before she noticed it
she was entirely enveloped in flames. She
was practically a human torch when sew
eral neighbors who had been attracted
by her cries ran to her assistance. They
tried to smother the flames by rolling her
in blanket, but did not succeed until
nearly all her clothing was burnt from
her body.
Word was sent to Police Headquarters
and City Physician Simon, who respond
ed, said that Mrs. Murphy had inhaled
the flames and would probably die. She
was badly burned about the left arm and

CURRENT CHANGED.
o'Brien, sheehau, Mclean and
Rogers to Get the Water
Contract.

The Street and Water Commissioners
met this afternoon. The water subject
was not discussed. 1t has been arranged
to have a conference with the Finance
Commissioners and Mayor in the office
of the Finance Board, tomorrow morning.
There has been a decided change IN the
water situation since Saturday
The change is due to some extent to adj
vice given the Street and Water Commits
sloners by Corporation Counsel Allan Ii
McDermott. He has advised them that
it will be to the cty's interests TO pur-
chase a plant which will insure a supply
for all time to come and which is free
from contamination and free from East
Jersey rights, even though it costs more
than others which have been offered.
The plant now favored is the one offered
by O'Brien, Sneehan, Mclean and Rog-
ers 1t costs more than some of the
other plants, but the officials insist that
it will prove the cheapest in the long
run.
The proposition of the sheehan Conn
pany is favored by Engineers Ferris and
Vermeule. Both gentlemen declare that
it is the best one, not only from an eugf-
neering point, but also on account OF the
water it will be capable of furnishing,
The Sheehan Company claims it wild be
able to complete the proposed plant with
in the specified time 1t is probable that
the Street and Water Commissioners viii
meet again on Wednesday and award a
contract at that time. The present
Board of Finance may act on an award
if one is made this week.

WORK FOR THE POLICE.
Young Crap Shooters a Nui-
sanee on Washington
Street.-The Fear for
the Cops

There is one great nuisance in this city,
and especially in the downtown section.
that the police should put stop to and
that is crap shooting. From early morn
and far into the night young loafers con-
gregate on the corners in the vicinity OF
York and Washington streets and a crap
or penny game can always be seen in full
sway almost any hour of the day This
game is the most popular with toughs and
newsboys, and some of them keep at it
until they lose all they have Numerous
are the complaints that have been made
against them, but nothing is ever done
in the matter.
The young loafers that indulge in this
notorious pastime have no fear OF the
police, or at least if they do they never
show it. For hours and hours each day
this sort of thing goes on, much to the
annoyance of the residents and especially
the business men who have offices in the
neighborhood where the game is played
1t is not only the newsboys who sell
papers on the corners in the neighbor-
Streets but also a crowd of toughs that
comes from York street. Craps is not
the only game that is played by these
young offenders, but numerous other
papers. abound and effort on the pa7
of the police is made to stop this pra.
tice.
Since the new school has been in t.
course of construction ON York stre
these youngsters have made the basem
of this school gambling ground.
most any time during the day and
in the night by the light of the eles
lamps the game will be found in pros
there. Many dollars change hands

and will continue to do so unles
police make some effort to break nm
up One of the crap shooters, ahtisrre
colored fellow, when spoken to about the
risk they take in playing the game out
on the sidewalks, said oh, we amt
afraid of de ooppers, because dose mugs
can't ketch US fellers. We's too slick fer
de cops and we have lots OF hiding places
dat de cops would never find US in. .
This seemed to be the prevailing i'm
preston among the crap shooting fends
of the police. Chief Murphy should take
this matter in his hands and see that all
of these games are broken up.

MORE RESERVES ON ACTIVE DUTY
Another Detail from tho Battalion
Of the East for League Island.

The u. S. S. Portsmouth, the home of
the Battalion of the East, Naval Re-
serve, at the foot of Fourth street. was
the most attractive spot in Hoboker yes
terday. All day steady stream of visi-
tors poured over the side and scattered
themselves over the two upper decks of
the ship. No visitors are allowed on the
berth deck and the curious were unable
to see how the States sailors eat and
swing their hammocks. They, however,
found plenty to interest and instruct them
on the gun and spar deck. The gun deck
was the most interesting, with its old
fashioned Dahlgreen smooth bores
modern Hotchkiss rifles, Gatling guns and
small arms. Obliging young tars were
on hand and explained the workings of
the guns and exhibited the complicated
mechanism of the new pieces of ordnance.
The visitor found much to admire in the
old sloop of war and her gallant crew.
Chief Petty Officer William NJ Rouse
and Seamen Burke and Neiliger left the
ship this morning for Philadelphia, where
they will join the detachments already
ON the monitor Montauk, at the League
Island Navy Yard. Mr.. Rouse was noti-
fed at his place of business in Jersey
three hours later he had packed his cloth
ing, gone to the ship in Hoboken and
was on his way to Philadelphia. The re-
mainder of the detail will leave either to-
morrow or the next day. The Reserves
are happy over the prospect of being ac-
lively engaged in hostilities.

tilities, some, if not all Of the Naval Re-

The policy Of the Navy Department is
that all of the naval forces of the country
shall be placed on exactly the same basis
It will treat any contrary opinion on the
part of the naval militia as nsubordina-
fion. This view will not be receded from.
and the Navy Department will order the
reserves into service just as 1t will any

TOOK ACID FOR MAMIE
Death Of Pretty Girl Drove
Samuel Kirkland to
Suicide.

Samuel Kirkland, twenty-eight years
old, of Fourth and Garden streets, Ho-
boken, painter, committed suicide Sat-
urday evening by swallowing big dose
of carbolic acid, at Cambridge avenue and
Griff1th street on the Heights. He was
semi conscious when found by Policeman
Michael Curry, but died on his way to the
City Hospital in patrol wagon.
Kirkland had no relatives. His father
deserted his mother when he was babe.
He was adopted by a family in the Hud-
son City section and was brought up III
that section. His foster father, an
Englishman, died several years ago, and
his foster mother, an Irish woman, went
shortly afterward to Canada. The cause
which led young Kirkland to take his
cations are that it was grief over the
death of a young woman whom he loved,
but who 1t seems never returned his af-
fection. This young woman died and was
buried a week ago last Friday. Kirkland
had borne his love in secret, but it was
noticed that after the young womans
death he dressed altogether in black. 1t
was known to some of his intimate friends
that he grieved over the death of the
young woman On more than one occa-
sion while speaking of her death he burst
spent nights at her home. watching by the
sick bedside and ready to run for doctor
or medicine.
He was in. rather gay spirits however,
fatal dose. He was in the habit of vis-
iting the family of August Ahrold, a
painter. who lives at No. 81 Sherman ave
nue.. Ahrold is a painter, but has been
afflicted for some time with an attack of
rheumatism. Young Kirkland spent sew
eral days painting around the premises
of the Ahrolds last week. He was joking
with Mr.. Ahrold, when he called Saturday
night, about Mr.. Ahrold's rheumatism.
Pulling a wrapped bottle of carbolic acid
from his coat pocket, he said, jocuIarly:-
Here, take a dose of this 1t will cure
you
The Ahrolds thought it strange he
never for moment suspected that Kirk
land had procured it for the purpose of
taking his life. They supposed he had
it for fumigating purposes. Kirkland
left the Ahrolds' home in apparently good
spirits. He visited the home of the
death he was grieving. The father was
not at home To a little sister of the
young woman he said:
Good bye, you will never see me again.
He passed in and out the saloon of
Charles SchneH in Sherman avenue, and
was seen by a number of friends, but no
one noticed anything unusual about him.
acid by Andy Curry, a relative of Police
man Curry. He remarked as he took the
dcse:-
This for Mamie
Then he staggered and fell in an open
lot. The boy ran to notify Policeman
Curry, who summoned a patrol wagon.
Young Kirkland met with an accident
by being doused with benzine from can
which fell with broken scaffold. He
often brooded over this mishap to his
eyes.
