BURNING SINCE FEBRUARY
Coal in No. 20 School Smoul-
dering When Unearthed
Yesterday.


The work Of tearing down the walls and
carrying away sthe debris of School No.
q, on Danfortn avenue, destroyed by fire
last winter, is progressing rapidly. The
Old site, with ITS pile Of ruined walls;
which ave been standing since last
February, a menace to human life, was
the scene of unusual activity yesterday.
The contra tor has hired a gang of
boys to clean the bricks before they are
sent away. The boys seem to be getting
lots Of fun out Of the work.
While digging among the ruins yester-
day a workman unearthed the coal pock-
ct. The man noticed the smell of gas. He
discovered that the coal was still smoul-
dering. having the appearance Of a blrn-
Ing mine. The fire occurred last Febru-
airy during a raging blizzard. and the
coal has been burning ever since. It is
said that there were forty tons Of coal in
the pocket whe the fire occurred.
There is now only about one ton left.
The news soon spread through the neigh
borhood and a crowd quickly gathered to
witness the novel sight.
Two boilers and q quantity of iron were
taken from the ruins today and sold.
About forty thousand bricks were also
carried away. The contractor expects to
have the site entirely cleared III two
months.
The Committee on Mo- 20 School met7last
evening and further discussed plans and
specifications of tine new building. Super
intendent Snyder and Architect Long at
submitted at next Thursday nights meet
ing the of the Board of Education.

And now it is said tina the Central
Railroad of New Jersey proposes to sub

and all applicants for such positions to a
Owl Service examination. 1t would be
exceedingly interesting to see a list OF the
questions to which these annihilators OF

-nnounce that the questions will be en-
tirely confined to matters connected with
their business. and such queries as How
dong will it take a bullet travelling a
thousand miles a second to go from the
earth to the moon?' or, what is the
shortest route from Dunellen to Singa-
pore?' viii be strictly tabooed
No doubt the aspirant for trunk smash
ing honors will be required to tell how far
or with what force trunks of various
sizes can be thrown without involving the
company in damage suits. or perhaps they
will have to tell how many large sized
packages a be piled upon one frail
dress suit case without smashing the col
liars and cuffs contained therein. The
applicant will doubtless be also obliged

the method Of getting two hundred pounds
excess baggage out of some poor drum

Whatever the questions may be a cur

gogue Of Hoboken, on Grand street, near
Newark. will be held tomorrow evening

Montefrore, which is made up of orthodox
Jews.
The congregation of Adath Emuno is a
reformed organization and includes among
its membership some very wealthy per-
sons. The two congregations have always
been very friendly and the offer Of the

hold services preparatory to the laying Of
the corner stone for the new house of
worship is not surprising. despite the
difference in religious belief and social
position Of the respective societies. Moses
Montefrore congregation is made up of
the poor class Of Hebrews and the new
temple in the lower city section will be an
u-npretentous one. The foundation of the
structure will be brick and the ramin-
ing two stories frame.

BUCKET BRIGADE PUT OUT FIRE
Policeman Rushes to the Rescue and
Prevents Damage.

A fire, caused by the explosion of an oil
stove, occurred in the house of E. O.
Piveknow, No. III Gates avenue, about
eleven o'clock last night. Mrs. Piveknow
was cooking her husbands supper when
the explosion occurred. She was not in
jured.
Piveknow rushed out of the house and
notified Officer Clemenson, who pulled
Box No. Is, at the Boulevard and Green
vile avenue. The electrical apparatus was
out of order and did not send in the
alarm properly. She first seven strokes
registered al right, but the second part
of the alarm refused to work.
The fire companies were at a loss to
locate the scene of the fire for some time.
When they finally reached the house the
fire had been e~xtinguished by Officer Re-
helm of the Fourth Precinct police sta
ton and a bucket brigade hastily organ
lied by him.
Rehehn was in Columbia Park when the
fire occurred, and he lost no time in
reaching the house. Willing hands worked
hard and fast for about fifteen minute
and quickly got the fire under control.
The damage Is estimated at about $500.

HASH PAID THE MlNkS
Their Generosity Taxed by the
Board of Education.

AIT a meeting Of the Minkakwa Repub-
lican Club last night, it developed that
the city has not as yet paid any rent
for the .tMinks' z clubhouse, which IS
being used for school purposes. When
School No. 20 burned down last winter the
clubhouse was rented for $50 per month.
Mr.. winfield Dunn, the Secretary, has
sent a bill for the amount to the Board
Of Education each month for the past
five months.
Michael SchuItze. Jr., said last night
that the city had broken the lease and
that the club would be justified in tax
ing possession of the premises He said
that the club has to pay the rent regu-
larly to the owner. and If the city does
not pay up Will be a big loser.
No decided action was taken in the
matter last night. It is expected that If
the city does not pay shortly the club will
make an effort to regain possession of the
clubhouse.
Mr.. Schultze suggested that the club
erect a new and more c~ommddious build
ing. A majority of the members favor
ed the plan. but no efini action Will
be taken until September.
