BELATED CHRISTMAS TREE FIRE
Engine No. IA ERas a narrow Escape
From Being Wrecked.

A fire in the apartments of Richard
Brooms at No. SO Danforth avenue last
evening, did considerable damage. 1t oc-
Cured in the parlor where a decorated
Christmas tree had been kept for the last
month. The family lighted up the tree
for the last time last night, but one of the
lighted candles suddenly turning over set
fire to the tree, which blazed fiercely be-
ing thoroughly dried. Thomas Reed, who
happened to be passing at the time, seeing
the-blaze pulled box No. 81 at Ocean and
Danforth avenue. Engines Mes. s and 10,
and trucks Nos. 4 and 5 responded. AL
most everything in the house was de-
stroyed either by fire, smoke or. water.
Engine No. 13 had a narrow escape from
being hit by a trolley car while responding
to the alarm. Had it not been for the
presence of mind of the driver, John Tul-
bert, a serious accident would have &C.
Cured. Just as the engine was about to
turn into Ocean avenue from Linden a
car came dashing along. The car was al
most on top of the engine and the driver
did not have time enough to pull his
horses up. Instead of turning to the left
towards Danforth avenue, where the fire
was, Tulbert pulled his horses around to
the right and directed them down Ocean
avenue towards Bayonne.
This delayed the engine something like
ten minutes, and when it did finally ar
rive on the scene Hook and Ladder No. a,
mile distant, was already at work. After
the fire was out. Battalion Chief Hogan
complimented the men of truck No. 4 for
their brisk work.

GhasfIy Find of Cleaners On an Adams
Express R. e. Car Track.

GhastIy Find of CD an Adams
Express E. R. Car Track.
A human foot was discovered this morn
ing Oh the truck of an Adams Express
Company's car, which was attached to
the st. Louis special, which arrived at
the Pennsylvania Railroad Depot in this
city shortly before eight o'clock. 1t was
discovered by cleaners, who at once re-
ported the fact to Detective Peter Nor
ris. Further search resulted in the find
ing of a clew which may lead to the iden-
LITIGATION of the owner of the foot.
The foot was found on the forward
truck of the car. On theother truck was
the cloth pocket of a coat. In the pocket
was an envelope, similar to the pay envel-
opes used by most large corporations. The
inscription on the envelope was
"Albert Barber, Mutual Reserve Life
Association. A. M. Trimmer, agent, Har-
risburg, Pa"
From the position in which the foot was
found it is evident that its owner was run
down by the train and his body cut to
pieces. 1t is not probable that the man
was stealing a ride on the truck, as he
would have frozen in that position. In
the summer it is a common thing for
tramps to ride. on the trucks of cars. The
foot was torn off at the ankle. Attached
to it were the cords of the leg, which had
been pulled out.

THE GROVE STREET. DEPRESSION

The depression of Grove street to con-

the Erie Railroad annoy the several

to be lowered or steps erected to reach
their store entrances Some n has sug-
gested that spiral stairways be erected
in order to economic space. The sug-
gestion does not meet with the approval
of the saloon keepers.
