A MIDNIGHT FIRE.

Shortly after II o'clock last night
the people living In the vicinity OF
James McGuire's Ice and Cold storage
plant, on East State street,saw flames
coming from the engine room Of the
building and an alarm was telephoned
TO the 1re department. By some mis-
take che engine men went to the cap
ital brewery and then retraced their
way TO the distant fire.
While the department we're hasten
ing TO the scene a large go gallon tank
of ammonia exploded sending showers
Of brand, smoke and sparks up against
the CLOUDS. The willing neighbors
battered 10 the doors OF the building
with stones aud saved some Of the
fixtures before the department
arrived. BY this time the building
was a mass o. seethlng flame and after
some delay the department got a
stream Of water TO playing on the
fire and soon only a mass of blackened
tiIhberS and smoking debris marked
the spot where the next building had
stood.
The establishment was a total loss,
all the stock, books and most of the
fixtures Of the building being burned
with the house.
Mr.. Mcclure reports his outlay to
have been $4,000 In cash besides the
labor he has expended on the business
and carries an insurance OF Sl250 with

This loss will cripple Mr.. Mcclure
for a short time but he expects TO re-
build the plant In a feY months and
In the meantime will continue his
business as best he can under the
circumstances.
The heavy loss last night only
emphasizes again the urgent need

Of imported negroes today was fol-
lowed by a desperate battle. Five
hundred shots were exchanged be-

best information is ten killed,
FIVE fatally wounded and five
seriously wounded. When the
train bearing the negroes arrived it
was met by 1900 armed miuers who
lined up on each side OF the track.
The train stopped Ia front Of the east
gates OF the stockade and the trouble
began. A dozen shots were fired

MRS. GASSMANN MAY BE FREE.
Her Religious Mania Has Dimin-
ished--No Habcas Corpus.

1t will probably not be necessary to
prosecute the habeas corpus proceedings
instituted by former Judge VIM. 7. Hoff-.
man, to secure the release of Mrs. Meta
Gassmann. wife of Policeman Jacob Glass;
mann, of the Third precinct, from the in
sane asylum at Snake Hill.
Mrs. Gassmann had a religious mania.
and was committed on April 6 as Al m
sane pauper. DR.. King, Superintendent
of the asylum. says there is no doubt at
all that Mrs. Gassmann was insane when
she was committed to the institution. She
walked up and Town the corridor of the
ward in which she was confined, singing
hymns, praying aloud and urging the
other inmates of the ward to repent and
seek salvation. Her mental condition
has improved, however, and she has so far
recovered that DR.. King has recommend
ed her discharge.
This being the case it will probably not
be necessary for Supreme Court Commits
sioner Nugent to take testimony tomoT-
row to show that she is san and ought
to be discharged.
Judge Hoffman may desire to nave the
testimony taken, however. as he insists
that she never was insane to the extent
of being dangerous. and that when her
husband, who owns property and draws
his salary as a policeman. was able 10
pay for her maintenance instead of hay
ing her committed as a pauper to BIZ sup
ported at the expense of the county.

DETECTIVE LARKINS' FEAT.
Given a Description of an AS
bury Park Thief, He Catches
His Man In Is Minutes.

David Tucker, a negro, 46 years old who
comes from Georgia, was held by Police
Justice Potts in the First Criminal Court
this morning to await the arrival of a
representative of the Asbury Park police.
Tucker is wanted in Asbury Park for rob-
bing a store of 1000 cigars and some
money. The police of that city telegraph
ed Inspector LANCE yesterday afternoon
a good description of the negro and asked
that he be arrested if found in Jersey
C.y
There were no headquarters detectives
in when the telegram was received. so
Inspector Lange called Detective Larkins
of the Gregory street station and gave
him the description just received. Pre-
cisely eighteen minutes later Larkins re-
turned with Tucker as his prisoner. On
receiving his orders Larkins started on
a tour of the negro resorts in the lower
part of the city. In Jackson's saloon on
Montgomery street he found a number of
negroes sitting in the back room.
David Tucker he called out in a loud
voice, and Tucker, taken off his guard,
rose from his chair and asked who want
ed him. It was a clever ruse that Lar
kins worked and it succeeded. When he
entered the saloon he had no idea that
he would find his man. When he took
Tucker to Police Headquarters Inspector
Lange would scarcely believe that he had
been able to get him so quickly.

POISONED BY MISTAKE.
Wife's Ignorance Of English
Causes Her Husband
Death.

Anton Wozonecski, q years old, of No.
It's Eleventh street, Jersey City, died
shortly before midnight last night a
victim of ignorance. Anton with his
wife had lived several years in this coun-
try. but had never thought it necessary
to learn more than a mere snlattering of
the English language and never learned
to read at all. Last night when Anton
got home from his work as a laborer he
felt sick. He grew worse as the evening
wore on and finally his wife becoming
alarmed called in one of the ~neighbors.
He told her that Wozonecski was only
suffering from a slight indisposition and
advised her to give hin a dose Of
Rochelle salts.
In her imperfect English Mrs. Woyon-
ecski thanked her friend and started to
carry out his suggestion. She went to
the drug store of Freeman S~toddard, No.
557 Grove street and returned witt a
package containing a white powder,
which she gave her husband telling him
that it would cure him by morning.
Wozonecski had barely swallowed the
powder when he began to writhe in ter
rible agony. He screamed with pain and
terror and declared that his stomach was
on fire. Neighbors sent for DR.. Finnerty,
who as soon as he arrived saw that the
man was suffering from some powerful
poison. He looked about him and on
the table found the paper which had con-
tanned the dose Wozonecski had taken. 1t
was marked roach poison"
DR.. Firnerty gave the sick man emetics
and did all he could for him. An ambulance
was summoned, but Wozonecski died in
terrible agony before it arrived. The
police were notified and at once ~inyesti-
gated the case. Mrs. Wozonecski declared
that she asked for rochelle salts. Drug
gist Stoddard was equally positive that
she asked for roach poison, which he
gave her, labelling it as such. The label
was written over a printed label for
poison Insect powder. No arrests have
been nae

JACKIE KNEW he WAS OUT.
But He Did Not Know of Joe
Noonan's Patriotic Efforts
In His Behalf.

Thomas Ryan, one of the gallant tars
of the Texas, who had been in the hos
pital got a furlough last Saturday and
came to this city to visit some friends.
The enthusiastic reception given to the
war ships and their brave crews, together
with some stimulants had such an effect
on Mr.. Ryan tina he became boisterous.
He was arraigned before Acting Police
Justice Macs on Monday morning and
given his choice of paying a fine of $40 or
spending ninety days in the County
Jail.
Lawyer Joseph M. Noonan read about
the case in THE News and thought it
was pretty rough on a gallant Jackie
who had been doing sanguinary chores
for Uncle Sam down at Santiago. Mr..
Noonan decided to see what he could do
for the unfortunate tar. He called on
Justice Macs yesterday, intiinated to him
very strongly that he had exercised un-
necessary severity under the circurn-
stances and requested that the Judgment
be reconsidered and the man discharged.
But" said Judge Macs, The was roar
ing drunk
We'll suppose he was" replied Mr..
Noonan. Will perhaps, he was not,
strictly speaking, under any moral ebliga-
ton to get drunk on last Saturday, still
undoubtedly he had an equitable righfSto
accumulate a jag on that memorable
day.
But" protested the Judge, st took
four policemen to overpower him and car
ny him to the station house,
Which is greatly to his credit" said
Mr.. Noonan. "If it took four of Jersey
City's finest to gather him in he ought to
be able to stand off a whole fleet Of
Spanish sailors"
But when he was brought to the sta
ton house he insulted the sergeant" per-
sisted Judge Macs.
Mr.. Noonan said that that was ooEclu-
sive evidence that the man was a desper-
ate villain and ought to be hanged. An.
appeal to Judge Macs patriotism. how
ever, had the desired effect and he dis
charged Ryan.
Mr.. Noonan had not seen Ryan, but a
ing along Newark avenue and SuSpecJi1g
him to be his unknown client. hailed him
with "Avast there. Admiral Sampspnr,.
Are you Thomas Ryan,, asked Mr.
Noonan, as the sailor hove to.
Yes, sir" he replied.
How did you get out of iail?"
Dunno, sir" replied Ryan, touching
his cap.
well, are you quite sure that you are
out?v
@Oh, yes, sir" he replied with a grin.
Ryan said he was going back 10 Brook
1yn and boarded a car for the ferry.
