FATAL FIRE IN BROOKLYN
Mrs. Catherine Kennedy Burn
ed to Death.

NEW YORK, Sept IA. 1Sss-Mrs.
Catherine Kennedy lost her life, at fire
which early this morning destroyed the
row of five story brick fiat buildings at
Nos. 1897, 1893 and 1901 Atlantic avenue
Brooklyn. Because of the fire twenty
two families were left homeless and de-
pendent for the time being on the kind
ness of relatives and neighbors The total
loss, including household effects, does not
exceed So, ,000. The owners, Ralston and
ST. John Wood, of No. 10 New York ave-
nue. were fully insured. The theory is
that the blaze started in the cellar of
No. 1901, between the dumbwaiter and air
shaft and an investigation as to the ac-
tual cause is being made.
The firemen at great risk aseended
to the top floor of 1901 and found Mrs.
Kennedy's partly charred body lying at
the top of the uppermost staircase Only
one of a half dozen persons who were in
jured required hospital treatment

'TENTION COMMISSIONERS
The aNews' Has Frequently
Foretold Such Accidents
as This.

1.-THE News has repeatedly called the
attention of the Street and Water Board
to. the atrocious condition of some thor
oughfares. A serious accident occurred
last night on Communipaw avenue. near
Crescent avenue. 1t was caused by a
wide trench which reaches three-quar-
tersl across that street.
An express wagon driven by William
O'Gorman of Newark, was badly wreck
ed by being caught in the trench This
occurred about ten O'clock There were
no read lights warning drivers of the dan
ger. O'Gorman drove right on toward
Newark without fear of accident, and
never realized his danger until the horses
sank in the loose dirt. The beasts strug-
gled and got out without injury, but the
heavily loaded truck got badly used up.
O'Gorman was thrown from his seat but
escaped without injury. For almost an
hour truck drivers and trolleymen worked
to drag the truck from the trench.
The trench was dug under the direc-
tions of Tealing. a plumber of No. $50
Monticello avenue, for the purpose of
making connections with a newly erected
building.
The trench Is a most dangerous spot,
Hundreds of trucks pass through that
there is scarcely space for wagon to
pass on solid pavement. At night the
danger becomes much greater.

BUSINESS MEN in A FIX.
Bridge Over South Cove Ditch Torn
Down BY City Employees.

The business men whose places are
south Of the South Cove on the strip of
land held by the Central Railroad Com
pany, are again shut off from direct
communication with Jersey City. When
a crisis was reached in the fight between
the Central Railroad Company and the
Street and Water Board over the pos
session Of the cove the Street and Water
Commissioners seized the strip of land
which the Central Railroad Company
made across the cove, and cutting deep
trench across 1t let in the water and shut
off means of communication with the
buildings south of the cove by way Of
Henderson street
No wagons could reach the yards OF
James Hall or the Barber Asphalt Com
pany and the employees were forced to
go around by way of Jersey avenue. When
matters had quieted down somewhat the
persons affected by the canal, built
bridge over it without securing the neees-
sary permission from the Street and Wa
ter Commissioners. They were ordered
to remove 1t but did not do so. Yester-
day Superintendent of Streets P. J. Con-
don took a gang of men to the South
Cove and removed the bridge.

CUSTOM HOUSE OUTRAGE.
Mrs. Moore Deprived of Her
Bicycle Through Red
Tape Rules.

What seems to be a high-handed OUT
rage on the part Of customs officials was
undergone by Mrs. Lydia Moore, of No.
40 Waldo avenue. Mrs Moore went to
Canada, in June last, to visit her twelve
year-old daughter, Muriel, who is in the
Ursuline Convent, in Quebec. She took
with her a bicycle of the Tribune pattern.
which she had been using for several
months.
At Quebec she was obliged to deposit
$40 as duty on the bike. A few days be-
fore she left Quebec, to return to Jersey
City, she called upon the Custom House
broker who took the money from her
when she arrived in Quebec, and he gave
her back 50, charging her 81 for his SER
vices She had the bicycle expressed by
the American Express Company, expect
ing that it would arrive here several days
before her
She arrived home last Thursday week
and the bicycle has not reached here yet
She was informed by the agen. of the
American Express Company in this city,
that the bicycle was held at the Canadian
Vermont line and she was obliged to sign
numerous papers, sworn to before a no.
tary public, settin gforth all sorts Of
declarations concerning ownership and
use of the vehicle. 1t cannot reach here
been deprived of her wheel for two weeks
through some blunder on useless and
aggrevating red tape rules.

PACIFIC AVENUE BRIDGE.
Lafayette Residents Are Grow
ing Tired Of the
Delay.

A number of prominent Lafayette resi-
dents are kicking most vigorously over
the delay in the construction of the pro-
posed bridge over the canal at Pacific
avenue. It is probable that a petition
will be sent to the Mayor, asking his
Honor to take steps to hurry along the
work. Not tap of work has been done
on the bridge for almost month. But
one abutment wall has been completed
Here the work has stopped. Three
months ago, it was stated at a meeting
Of the Board of Freeholders that the iron
work for the bridge would be ready in a
few days from that date. No iron work
has yet been sent for the bridge.
Mr.. J. Radcliffe, of Cemmunipaw ave-
nue. and Halliday street, who does busi-
ness in that section, said yesterday that
the manner in which the bridge work was
delayed was a shame.
For almost a year., he said. this
street has practically been closed to
trtaffic. Business men owning wagons
are losers and pedestrians are subjected
to considerable annoyance In attempting
to cross that fiimsy trestde.
From appearances, the bridge will
probably be erected within another year
This is matter that the people should
take hold of. We must have bridge and
the sooner we get it the better" Dozens
of others speak In the same strain.

Havana Papers Say They Are Dogs

TBy Gable to The Associated Press.l
HAVANA, Sept IA, 1ss9.-The ''Heraldo'
says, editorially, today. that the behavior
of the Cubans is absurdly contradictory
In many parts of the island, 1t points
out, there is great want of labor, in spite
of which the Cubans are crying for for
eign labor to leave the country, and IN
Havana work is being improvised for
vagrants. The paper asks why they do
not go to Pinar del Rio, where laborers
are wanted.
A Spaniard from Pinar del Rio recently
affirmed that his countrymen were dying
of hunger there because the people would
not let them work The proposal by some
persons to import American labor caused
a cry to be raised that this would Amer
icanize the island and that the Anglo
Saxon race being "absorbing and over
bearing would leave nothing for the Gu
bans" They tell the Spaniards, who are
accustomed to the climate and are of the
same race and language, to evacuate Gu
ba. II seems next to impossible to please
the Cubans who do not know what they
really want

How the Pennsylvania Will

1t is probable that the decoration of
the Pennsylvania Railroad depot and
ferryhouses in honor of Dewey's return

of any property along either side of the
North River General Superintendent
Frank L. Sheppard, yesterday said, that
the company would spare no expense to
make it so. The great signboard which
surmounts the mammoth train shed has
been extended several feet at each end
and will blaze out at night in glitterlng
bulbs. welcome to Admiral Dewey.
The letters .W,'' "a" d. will be ten
feet high and the other letter eight feet
high The letters will be painted and will
stand out prominetly also in the day
time The six hoods in the ferryslips will
be elaborately decorated with flags
woven into seriousness artistic designs
and pinioned with shields and portraits of
the great naval hero. From the peak
of each hood rises forty foot flag staff
and from each of these will wave a big
American flag and from the caves to the
top of each pole will run streamers of
tiny flags.
TIE Erie, Delaware, Lackawanna q
Western, Central Raiload Companies and
all express companies will illuminate and
are arranging for elaborate electric and

ANOTHER GOOD HAUL.
GreenvllIe Is Again Visited BY
Burglars Who Get Off I'm
noticed.

A burglar or burglars made another
good haul in the Greenvile section and
as usual succeeded in getting away with
the booty without being seen by anyone.
1t is supposed that the theft was made
Monday night The house robbed is the
residence of F. NJ Van Blarcom, No. IS
Pearsall avenue Mr.. Blarcom and family
have been spending the summer in Orange
county, N. Y. Their house was closed
during their absence. They decided to
return home yesterday morning and noti-
fed the servant to have the house in
readiness to receive them. The servant
went to the house about seven o'clock
yesterday morning and found everything
in a state of wild disorder. Drawers had
been ransacked and their contents scat
tered in confusion about the floor. Mr..
Van Blarcom arrived later and he i'm
mediately notified the police.
1T was found that access had been
gained in the old manner of prying up
side window. The burglar had previously
stolen box from a grocery store on
Winfield avenue and the Old Bergen Road.
While standing on the box and working
at the window he was exposed to the gaze
of anyone who might be passing on
easy He went through the house from
top to bottom and succeeded in getting
away with silverware, jewelry and
camera. in all valued at about $500. A
music box stolen from the house was
later found on Pearsall avenue, several
blocks away.
Joseph G. Heider told the police yester-
day that while going home about one
o'clock yesterday morning he saw two
suspicious looking strangers near the
scene Of the robbery The only descrip-
ton that he could give was that they
both wore light Fedora hats. Detective
Pearson is working on the case.
A strange feature of all the Greenville
robberies is that burglars enter houses,
tie up large bundles of booty and depart
without being seen by anyone. In every
instance access to the houses robbed is
gained by means of the windows, which
in many cases are improperly fastened.
Greenville of late has been veritable
gold mine for burglars. The police APP
parently have no terrors for them. Burg
lars attempted to enter a house Monday
night but were frightened off before they
could accomplish their purpose.

DETECTIVE MORRIS Ill
Had a Severe Hemorrhage Today.
Last Rites Administered,

Detective Peter Morris. of the Pennsy1-
yania Railroad. Is lying at his home on
Mercer street near to death. The well
known officer was taken with a hemorr-
hage while on duty shortly after noon
today.
DR.. McGill and priest were quickly
summoned The priest administered the
last rites of the church. After the cere-
mony was over Detective Morris was re-
moved in a coach to his home. where he
now lies.
Morris was appointed to the police force
about twenty years ago and for number
of years he did patrol duty. He was then
stationed at the Pennsylvania ferry. The
company, seeing the necessity of having
a private detective, petitioned the Board
of Police Commissioners to detail Morris
This was done and for a number of years
Morris has done effective service. Mr..
Morris friends are deeply grieved.

THE STRIKERS SIDE.
Counsellor Dewitt Explains the Stand
Taken BY the Iron Workers,


To the Editor Of 1.-THE Jersey City News" :"
In the article of yesterdays paper en-
titled Strikers Try Vengeance" the facts
were exaggerated. Nicholas Fitzhenry
offered the complainant advice, not
threats, for which the Smith people in
stituted a proceeding meant to intimi-
date the strikers. AS was shown by me,
a strike is a legitimate means for work
ingmen to enforce higher wages or re-
duction of time or any other legitimate
concession from their employers. pro-
vided that it does not occasion breach
of the peace This strike has lasted six
weeks and in that time it has been con-
Quoted with quietude.
The Smith Boiler Works have offered
the men concessions, but not sufficient
ones to meet their demands. That these
demands are reasonable is shown by the
fact that thirty-four companies in New
York have complied with them. The Jer-
sey strikers thought that they were en-
titled to the same rights. For this two
of their number were arrested.
It is the right of every citizen to give
advice, provided he gets hearer.
Whether that advice be followed is
optional. Fitzhenry and McCabe did this
and nothing more, as was proved, for
which they were arrested at the instance
of the Smith people by means of Wolf
stein and subsequently, discharged by JUS
tice Nevin.
