FIRE AT
WHIPPANY
McEwan Brothers Coating Plant
Destroyed This Morning.

stances Point to Incendiarism and
Reward is Offered for Apprehen-
sspn of CuIprits-PIant to be Re-
placed by Brick Structure.
Fire, supposed to be of incendiary
origin, destroyed the coating plant of
the McEwan Brothers Company at
Whippany early this morning. The
building was Of frame construction and
with its contents of more than 100 tons
Of raw material proved highly infam-
able. The total loss will reach $780, 900,
with insurance for $4,000.
That the confagration was the result
of incendiarism, the circumstances seem
to prove conclusively. Fire was dis
covered in pile of raw material at the
rear of the mill shortly after midnight
by the foreman of the beating room.
The blaze was promptly extinguished,
but at 2.30 second blaze was discovered
in the central part of the building known
as the coating plant. The mill whistles
Immediately sounded an alarm and a
good part of Whippany's population re-
sponded. Four streams furnished by
the mill engine were soon played on the
blaze and employees and others worked
with will. But all to no purpose, for
within an hour the roof and sides fell in
and the building was soon a mass of
ruins.
The burned building was 200 feet long
by 90 feet in width, and was built three
years ago. On the first floor was a
machine shop and storage room for
stock. The floor above was used for the
product of the mills when completed.
In the building were set of calenders
valued at more than $4,000, and other
high priced machinery all of which was
ruined.
Twenty men were employed in the
coating plant during the day and these
will be thrown out of employment but
only until the McEwan Brothers Com
pany can rebuild. The new structure

Edward Hoover, a stack painter, who
was in the building was badly burn
ed about the hands and feet and his hair
was burned off. He jumped from a
second story window and both ankles
| we're we're srrsined. The unfortunate man is
being cared for at Whippany. The heat
from the burning building was so intense
that nearly all the windows in the Office,
which is so feet distant were cracked.
A loaded freight car standing on the
tracks beside the plant was burned.
Men are playing streams on the ruins
this morning but paper that is compress
ed has been known to burn for many
days. Hence vigilance will be necessary
for some time. twenty-five men were
at work in the mill adjoining the burn
lug building when the fire was noticed.
A reward of 81 900 has been offered by
the company for the arrest and convic-
tion of the incendiaries.
The hustling ability characteristic of
the McEwan's was apparent this morn
ing when at o'clock work in the mill
began as usual Notwithstanding employ
ers and men had been fighting the fire
half the night. Outside force of car
penters were engaged in making crates
that formerly were made in the machine
shop. The mills had been very busy for
some time past and could hardly keep
up with the orders. The McEwan Bro
theirs Company have about 100 men on
their payroll.

THE OPEN DOOR.

A Telephone is an Open Door through
which trade enters.
Telephone Service is a business neces-
sity.
It is to the merchant an outlet for in
formation and quotations and an inlet
for orders.
Telephone service keeps the manufac-
turer, the merchant and the consumer
in constant touch.
1t notifies the producer at whatever
distance of the variations of demand.
Telephone service increases sales by the
expedition it lends to the filling Of orders.
1t keeps the business interests through
out the country in communication with
the markets.
Telephone service saves much time and
as Time is Money, it saves MONEY.
1t costs less than an errand boy and it
does the work of a commercial giant.
Telephone service between Office and
residence is a tremendous convenience.
and at the present message rates is an
unimportant expense.
If one telephone SO increases business
that the open Door" is crowded, open
another door; that is, have another teIe-

PARIS IS NOT ALL FRANCE"
Fir. Peck DoeS.-T ThiEk DTeyfus wi I
 Affect the Exposition.

O1cnomoWoc, Wis, Sept. 16.-Com-
 missioner Peck Of the Paris exposition
 says in an interview: T have felt from the beginning of the agitation
 caused by the Dreyfus trial that the coming exposition will prove an inn portant factcr in preventing a revolIl- ti0n and the overthrow of the French republic. There has been already in vested in the exposition about S2O O0O,- 900, and the bonds representing this investment are largely distributed among the people. Many of the labor ing classes are receiving large wages, which will continue for many months, by reason of the construction Of build ings, and preparations for the exposi- tion. Besides all this, indirect benefits will accrue to the shcp keepers, hotels and general business public of Paris and other portions of France by the influx of visitors from all parts of the world to the exposition More than
 fifty nations Of the earth have been in vited to participate in the exposition, and have accepted. I therefore believe the French government will take ex- tTacrdinary precautions to avoid the humiliation of disappointing these na- tions by reasons of internal troubles interfering with the exposition.
 ''1n view of the above considerations have net thought and do not feel that the present excitement over the Dreyfus case will result in any upris- ing that will prevent the exposition being opened with the ample protec- tion for all property and exhibits. do not believe that whatever views our people may take of the verdict in the Dreyfus case, it will stand in the way Of manifest business interests. I think the whole matter will be closed incident long before our ship ments of exhibits begin. I have con- fdences in the stability of the French. The American people will find that there are great men and statesmen in France, as well as in this and other important civilized nations. Paris is rot France"

Celebration of inc Anniversary of
 Independence.

Mexico City, Sept 16.-Mexico's in dependence day, the SSth anniversary of the call to liberty given by the im- mortal leader and venerable curate, Don Miguel Hidalgo Castillo. is being celebrated today by fetes throughout the republic. In this city the celebra- tions were unusually notable.

Congress assembled at noon in accordance with the constitu tion, and will remain in session until December 15.
 One Of the first matters to receive the attention of congress will be a request from President Diaz asking permission to leave the national territory to at tend the laying of the cornerstone of the United States government building at Chicago in October.

A MONSTER wATERsPoUT.
A Fleet of Fishing Boats Have a
 Narrow Escape.

Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 16.-A monster waterspout that nearly swamped a fleet of fishing boats was sighted off this city this morning. For three-quarters of an hour it ragged within three miles from shore, when it passed on south.
 Its formation was at first that of a huge balloon, vortex 300 feet in di- umdter at top and bottom, and con tracted in the center, rising bo a height of about 200 feet to a wide black cloud, edged with vapor that looked like smoke.
 The waterspout was within a mile of the yachts Of Abraham Caste and George Doughty before any of the fishermen saw its true nature.
 Those on board Casto's bout report that when the spout passed, the ocean appeared to be on fire, the waves re- sembling flames in the morning sun light. An unknown steamship and a tug and several barges abcided the waterspcut by altering their courses. As it disappeared the single vortex divided into three, making two perfect arches.

TROLLEY BUMPS INTO A HOUSE.
Car Jumps the Track and Disturbs a
 Family Dinner

New York, Sept. 16.-The eccentrici- ties of Brooklyn trolley cars long ago ceased to excite wonder in that bor- ough, but when a Fifth avenue car took it into it's head today to leave the tracks and attempt to get into a house it caused some surprise. The owner of the house in particular was both surprised and annoyed. He was at dinner with his family, and the ef- forts of the trolley to get into his dining room rudely interrupted the course of the meal.
 This incident happened at Sands and Adams streets. A car descending the grade on Adams street jumped the switch at Sands street, bumped over the tracks on the latter thoroughfare, and brought up with a crash against the front of the house occupied by Dr. Martin l.. Bcdkfn. The Bodkin fam lily were undecided as to whether an earthquake had occurred or a meteor had struck the house.
 The ear after leaving the tracks had Ieaped the curb on the opposite side and moved down en iron fence in

TWO ARE DEAD.
Mrs. Gallagher Poisoned Herself and
 Three Children.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 16.-Mrs. Mary Gallagher, aged 35, wife of Felix Gal lagher, mill man of Port Perry, last night poisoned herself and her three children with laudanum Mrs. Galla- gher and her 4-months-old baby died today, but the two daughters, aged and years, will probably recover. The husbands statement to the coroner is that he knows of no possible reason why his wife should commit the deed. He says when he returned home from the mill last night he was met by his 15-year-old son, Patrick. who said: They're all sick. They must be poisoned.''
 The coroner has been unable to To- cate Patrick to get his story, and he thinks the boy is being kept out of the way for some purpose as yet unknown.

PRETORIA EXCITEMENT.

Cape Town, Sept. 16.-Further tele- grams from Pretoria confirm the fore cast of the reply of the Transvaal to Great Britain, which does not accept the demands of the British govern ment as whole. Great excitement prevails at Pretoria over the conse- quences which may ensue. Young Boers are asking to be led into the field immediately. It is impossible to predict what will be the situation after the delivery of the reply in London. The feeling here is that it will be inn possible for the imperial government, and undignified upon it's part, to again enter upon an interchange of argu- ments.

 The westerner had delivered the speech of the day during the forenoon, amid frequent interruptions of tumuI- tous applause MT. Foulke, Of In diana, commenting on the speech made assertions which MT.
