THREE SMALL FIRES.
Lace Curtains the Cause of
Two--Little Girl Started
the Third.

Several slight fires occurred down town
during yesterday afternoon and evening.
The first was in the two-story brick
building at No. 231 Bay street. The fire
was caused by fourteen-year-old Mabel
Hadden who boards at the above ad-
dress, searching for papers under SOFA
in the parlor of the apartments with
lighted matches. The matches set fire
to the fringe on the sofa, which blazed
up very rapidly. A still alarm of fire
was sent to Fire Headquarters, which
was answered by Fireman Mulliken and
Patrolman James Mccarthy of the Sec
ond precinct The two men extinguished
the blaze before it gained any consider
able headway.
AT 9:45 o'clock an alarm from box No. Z,
brought the department to slight fire
in a three-story brick building at No. 79
Grand street. in the apartment occupied
by Mrs Andrews. The fire was caused
by the lace curtains in the parlor catching
from a lighted gas jet. The department
arrived promptly and extingufshed the
blaze before any damage was done.
AS the men were picking up TIE hose
preparatory to going to their respective
houses they were called to a fire IN the
brick building at No. 70 Sussex street. The
apartments were occupied by Mrs. -Ander-
son. Lace curtains catching fire was also
the cause of this blaze. The damage was
but trifling.

M'CARTHY'S BRAVE DEED.
Stopped a Runaway Horse in
His Mad Career--Cheered
by the Crowd.

Had it not been for the coolness dis
played by Patrolman James Mccarthy OF
the Second precinct station. in stopping a
runaway horse at the corner of Grove
street and Newark avenue, shortly after
six o'clock last night, several persons
would certainly have been hurt. Were u
not for the prompt action on the part OF
tho officer the horse would have
come in collision with one OF the
Grove street trolley cars
Just as the employees from the big dry
goods houses were leaving their places
of business after completing their day
work, horse attached to delivery
wagon, owned by c. F. Adams & Co.,
came dashing up Newark avenue. Pc
destrians got close to the houses and
some ran into the stores, expecting every
second that the infuriated animal would
dash up on the sidewalk.
AS Grove street was reached the horse
swung into that thoroughfare. The
wagon nearly upset. which no doubt
caused the animal to slacken its speed
The horse was about to continue in its
rampage when Officer Mccarthy jumped
from a crowd of horror stricken young
women and girls and caught the animal
by the bride. He was dragged fully a
hundred feet before the horse was brought
to standstill.
When the harness had been replaced on
the animal 1t was taken to the store own
ed by the company.
Mccarthy was cheered by the crowd as
he led the animal along the street.

DARING ESCAPE.
Six Deserters From Bedloe's

TWO CAUGHT BY OFFICER
The Others Were Rounded Up
by the Police and Held

Six soldiers Of the Nineteenth U. s.
Infantry, from Bedloe's Island, made
daring escape last night, and caused
little excitement in this city. An alarm
was sent to the police authorities of the
neighboring cities. 1t was not until four

boat. The sentry on duty saw the boat
being pulled rapidly into the stream and
called to the occupants to put back They
refused and the sentry fired shot over
the boat The shot had no effect on the
men, who wanted to escape.
The deserters gained considerable start
an{ had almost reached the Pavonia
Yacht Clubhouse on this side before the
second boat started in pursuit. On reach
ing the landing place two went toward
Lafayette, two struck out to Johnston
avenue and the others made their escape
among the Central Railroad freight cars
in the yards of the company. The oft1-
GERS who pursued the deserters lost track
Of them and were compelled to return to
their quarters
One of the officers returned to this city
about two o'clock and searched through
the Communipaw ana Lafayette sections,
hoping to find some trace of the deserters.
He was finally rewarded by picking two
of them up. They were very much under
the influence of liquor and they created
disturbance. The two men captured by
the army officers were taken back to the
island and put in irons.
1t was not until three o'clock this morn
ing that two more of the deserters were
heard from. Patrolman Pangborn, who
patrols the lower part of Montgomery
street heard cries for help. He hastened
in the direction of the cries and found
Mathew Clark and Frank Tracy, two of
the men trying to overpower an old
man The officers timely arrival prob
ably prevented an assault.
On the way to the signal box, the
soldiers became abusive. Pangborn had
considerable trouble in holding the desert
ers until the arrival of the patrol wagon,
About an hour later Patrolman Downes
of the Seventh street station, found two
more of the men floating in and out of
saloons on Pavonia avenue. The soldiers
were in full uniform and were very
boisterous when placed under arrest.
They were Charles Peters and Thomas
Lewis. Both admitted being deserters,
when they were locked up.
In court this morning the four prisoners
pleaded not guilty to the charge of
desertion Justice Nevin, nevertheless
held them for the United States authors
ties Peters, who acted as spokesman
for his comrades, insisted that the court
report them under arrest in his communi-
cation to the officers BY this means the
men hoped to escape Imprisonment and

Skelly and Lohmann
Without Commands.

The report submitted to Governor Voor-
hees by Brigadier General Wanser on the
dropping of certain companies in the
First Brigade, caused no surprise among
the officers of the Fourth Regiment. The
dropping of Companies L and M as recon-
mended by General Wanser, was expect
ed yall who were acquainted with the
affairs of the regiment. "The News pre-
dicted the recommendation of General
Wanser, week ago. Up to last evening,
no orders had been received from the
Governor ordering the mastering out of
companies l. and NJ There is no doubt
that the Governor will carry out the re-
commentator mades by the commander
of the First Brigade.
The officials who will lose their heads
If Companies L and NJ are mustered out
are:-Captain Alvin H. Graft and Lieuten-
ants Herbert s. Culver and Spencer Shan
ley of Company L, and Captain George F..
Seymour and Lieutenants John G. Skel-
ly and Ernest Lehman of Company NJ.
The men of these companies will be al
lowed to join the other companies, but 1t
is hardly probable that the officers will
jointhe ranks. Those affected will prob
ably resign from the regiment.
The two companies to replace those TO
be mustered out will come from Hacken-
sack and Englewood. These formerly be-
longed to the Second Regiment, which is
to be disbanded.
There is to be a general inspection this
month in the regiment. 1t is not unlikely
that a great many men will be dropped.
If such is the case there will be plenty
of room for the men to be mustered out
of Companies L and M.
The report of General Wanser was not
largely discussed last evening. The oiti-
GERS and men are not pleased that two
of the companies have to go.

when Mr.. and Mrs. Clark, of No. 20

turned home at TEN O. clock last night, the
