MRS. M'cARTHY'S FIERY TIME
Kitten, Benzine and a Lighted
Candle Get Mixed Up.

A playful kitten,a lighted candle and a
bottle of benzine makes a dangerous com
bination. It started a blaze in the apart
ments of Mrs. Mccarthy on the second
floor of the fiat house. at No. 107 Four
teenth street, Hoboken, this morning.
which was only prevented from being a
serious confagration by the quick work
Of the Fire Department.
Mrsa Mccarthy was cleaning beds with
the -benzine. The room was dark so she
had a lighted candle beside her which
pussy knocked over. Mrs Mccarthy made
a swipe at the guilty feline, upsetting
the benzine and mixing the candle cat
oil in a heap, from which pussy emerged
a blazing ball of fire
The cat few around the room in agony
setting fire to everything 1t touched, with
Mrs Mccarthy in hot pursuit.
The room was mass of flame in a
minute. An alarm was sent in and the
fire was put out after five minutes work.

NEW FERRY HOUSE GOING UP
Pennsylvania Railroad Clear
ing the Approach at Des-
brosses Street.

A new ferryhouse is now being built by
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company at
the foot of Desbrosses street and the
North River, New York. For many years
patrons of the Pennsylvania Railroad
who make their way to this city by means
of the Deebrosses street ferry. complained
of the lack of accommodation furnished
by the old one-story wooden structure,
but their complaints were useless. The
city, which had been ordered by Congress
fifteen years ago to widen West street,
until its width was 25o feet. began limiting
to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
that it had better pull down its old ferry
house and build new one which would
give West street the requisite width. The
city limited but did not order. for If an
order had been given it would have made
it necessary for the city TO pay for the
sea wall $50 feet from the east curb Of
West street. This sea wall as required by
law is very costly.
About six months ago the railroad COM
pany decided that it was about time to
build new ferryhouse and sent word TO
its engineers to draw plans. which We're
accordingly submitted. The plans, as ac-
cepted, provide for a perfectly equipped
ferryhouse, 2l5 feet long, by 200 feet deep.
to be built partly on the old site and part
ly on new filled ground, extending 60 feet
north of the old structure. The new
ferryhouse is to be two stories high in or
der to accommodate double-decked ferry
boats The front of the new building will
be faced with copper and will resemble
in appearance the Pennsylvania ferry
house at Twenty-third street A large
dome VIII be built in the centre OF The
structure in which will be fitted a large
clock. On the north side of the new ferry
house the city has built out pier $50 feet
long, the length prescribed as the limit
by the Secretary of War. This pier has
been rented TO the New York Central and
Hudson River Railroad On the south
side the Pennsylvania Company will build
a $50 foot freight pier, which will be used
in summer by an Albany steamboat line
When the old wooden building is torn
break which the old structure makes,
jutting out into West street 50 feet be-
youd the line of the sea wall, will have
been done away with and from Four
teenth street to Cortlandt street, West
street will be one uninterrupted stretch
of pavement with width of go feet, ex-
ceeding the width Of any other thorough
fare in the city. How long 1t viii take
the city TO widen the street below Cort-
landt street. and thus afford relief for
the congested traffic which daily flows
through that part of the city, ii is inn
possible to determine. When the new
Desbrosses street ferry is complete.
1t will have taken sixteen years TO widen
the street from Cortiandt street TO Four
teenth street, and, judging from some OF
the leases which the steamship and rail-
road companies hold on piers below Cort-
iardt street. 1t will be sixteen more years
before the act of Congress of fifteen

crowds on the move for warmth Many
people were out at sunrise to secure de-
sirablc roints from which to view the
parade, but lower Broadway was well
filed with those who were anxious to
have a look at Dewey on his way to
City Hall whether they were to sec the
great parade or not.

ton at the city hall of gold loving

Commissioner Breidenthal, they run
