AUTHORITIES TO BLAME

The Rev. Father Coyne, of the Holy
Cross Church, Harrison, who was taken
to the Snake HiH pesthouse last week
suffering from smallpox, which he had
contracted while visiting parishioners who
had the disease, has recovered sufficiently
to leave his bed and Medical Superintend-
ent DIR. George w. King said this morn
ing that he would be abe to leave the IN
stitution in about two weeks
There are now thirty cases OF smallpox
at the pesthouse, all but one of which are
from West Hudson. One death occurred
on Saturday and the fourteen-year-old
boy recently removed from Fourth street,
this city, Is expected to die at any time .
DR.. King attributes the prevalence. OF
the dread disease in the West HoDoken
municipalities to the fact that the heaith
authorities there have been lax in the
matter of vaccination. Said the DOCTOR
County Physician Converse has predict
ed an epidemic of smallpox more virulent
n form than that of last winter, and l
have no doubt that the disease will pc
generally prevalent throughout this sec
fion Of the county. The only preventive
lies in vaccination and it is to be hoped
mat the lesson taught by the recent out
hreak may have beneficial effect and in
1,,ce those who have not been yaccinated
fo be inoculated at once.

FIREMEN OVERCOME.
Disastrous Fire Does S50,-
900 Damage on Hen
derson Street.

At 11:45 o'clock last night fire box No.
112 was pulled by Policeman Kielt for a
fire that broke out in the beef packing
establishment of Armour & Co., Nos. 402
and 404 Henderson street. The damages
will foot up $50, 900
The fire was caused by the bursting OF
an ammonia pipe in the basement Of the
building. The building is a twd-story
structure. A lighted gas jet set fire to the
escaped ammonia and caused an explo-
sion Firemen fought the flames with
great difficulty, bein driven back time and
again by the flames of the ammonia.
Several of them were overcome and had
OF be carried from the burning building
The engineer of the plant was also over
come.
The f1remen who were overcome were:-7
George Gardner, of No. Truck; Captain
George Murdock, of No. Engine, and
Cooper of No. 3 Engine. The chief
engineer of the plant was also oyercomes
On investigation this morning. it was
found that the machinery of the plans
had been seriously damaged and that st
least $4,000 worth of stock, beef, hams,
etc, had been rendered worthless While
the outer walls are intact and but lit e
damaged the interior is a wreck. The
building was erected year ago last May
at a cost of $55000. The machinery cost
nearly $35, 900.
Richard Cooper. of No. 8 Engine Conn
paEy, was the first of the firemen to be
overcome by the fumes of escaped ans
monia He was climbing ladder at tre
time and had reached the second story.
His body rested unconsciously against the
ladder and was rescued by firemen OF the
same company. Captain George MUIR
dock, of Engine Company No. 1, was also
overcome and 1t was fully half an hour
before he recovered consciousness, though
being treated a neighboring drug store.
He did not fully recover the use OF ms
eyes for an hour. Forster and Gardner
were also treated at the drug store. Botn
were overcome after digging hole in tre
roof through which the fumes of aru7
monia rushed. Persen, the chief engi-
neer of the plant, was rescued after pe<
ing overcome, by Night Engineer Martin
Hilbert. After reaching the open air VIII
the unconscious form of the chief englneeI
he crawled back into the engine room anG
turned off the steam from the boilers and
dumped the fires. His heroic action was
praised on all sides.
The firemen, though fighting at great
disadvantage, at one time had seven
streams of water playing on the fire,
which had spread to the icehouse In the
rear, and hard to reach. The water tow
er of No. 8 Engine Company played g
most effective part in the work of SUD-
DUNG the flames. Everybody praised the
work of the firemen.
The loss is nearly fully covered by in-
surance
The refrigerating plant was equipped
with nearly mile of ammonia pipes run
ming through all parts of the building.

AFTER ASPHALT NUISANCE
Board Of Health Will Per-
sonally Inspect the
Uvalde's Plant.

The Board of Health last night gave
most of it's time while in session to the
consideration of the complaint lodged
against the Uvalde Asphalt Company
some time ago because of the alleged
nuisance that existed at its plant through
it's inability to prevent the spreading OF
dust through the tenement section in
which it is located. At the last meeting
of the Board a representative of the com
pany was present and asked fer two
weeks time in which the company might
experiment with a new dust collector that
it had lately installed. The machine need
ed perfecting at that time and the re-
quest for the two weeks was granted.
Judge James Murphy at that time ap-
peared before the Board in the interests
of the residents of that section. He con-
sidered that the best interests of his
clients would be preserved and their
health and property safeguarded by the
CLOSING of the plant. He made a strong
Board to grant the two weeks required.
Judge Murphy predicted at that time
that the Uvalde Company would appear
before the Board last night and ask a
what happened and again Judge Murphy
opposed the application with spirit.
TIE represeatativs tive Of the company ap-
planned that the companys plan TO install
dust collector was progressing as Well
as possible un4kr the circumstances, but
complete it. He denied that nuisance
had existed since the time the last COM
plant was lodged, saying that out of
month the plant had operated only five
DAYS and that all that time was necessary
for experimenting with the dust coliecT
tor All would be in readiness by Thurs
day, and then all possibility OF any NUS,
ance would be removed. He extended
an invitation to the Board to visit II e
plant Thursday morning, SO that they
could see for themselves just what the
situation is The invitation was accepted.
Judge Murphy asked the Board to pass
resolution compelling the company to
close it's plant.
The representative of the company then
asked the Board to show him how tney
could perfect the dust collector II they
were forbluden to operate.
The upshot of the matter was that the
Board accepted the invitation and will
| inspect the plant while it is in full opera
ton next Thursday at eleven o'clock in
| the morning.
The S. P. G. A. asked the Board to stir
| up Vatcky in removing the carcaSes OF
| dead animals in the street and from the
associations pound.
The residents in the vicinity of Nos. 66
and 6S Oakland avenue complained of the
| barking of dogs and growing of roosters
and cackling of chickens, night, noon and
morning and said that their rest was dis
| turbed. Inspector Benjamin was ordered
| to abate the nuisance.
| The reports of the City Physician and
the Health Inspector was received and
| filed.

TO REPAIR ST. NARY'S
Father Ter Woert Praises
The Jersey City News
Account Of the
Storm.

Workmen were busy yesterday after
noon and today repairing the roof of In
stitute Hall and clearing away the debris
about st. Mary's Church. No one has
been in the church, since Saturday and
known. No effort has been made to re-
pair the church because Father Ter
Woert has not yet decided what to 90.
He said this morning. to News re-
porter that he had had no examination
of the church made and that it was un-
likely that any would be made just yet.
Until an examination is made he will
take no steps. He has formed no plans
and has decided to pay no attention to
the church until the smaller damages are
repaired.
when seen at the rectory this morning
Father Ter Woert said
II have made no plans and will not I'M
til I can learn the amount of damage
done and the best method of repairing it.
81 wish to congratulate The News on
the very interesting account 1t had of the
whole storm. 1t was very readable
and interesting story, well put together
and especially valuable for its conciseness
and the amount of facts it contained"
The church. presents exactly the same
ter it struck, with the exception that the
debris is cleared away from the streets.
The same big Gaping hole in the roof.
with Its protrudlng beams is there bearing
silent testimony to the extraordinary pow
er OF the tornado.
The contribution boxes placed at various
points throughout the parish move many
to contribute The parishioners realize
the enormous expenses the repairing Of
the property will entail and they are re-
spending with the true spirit
At Sundays masses the priests wd.lt
or the new burden the parish has been
called upon to bear, and all were urged to
add what they could afford TO the trs1s-
good care of its institutions, and Father
Ter Woert is confident that ir this period
of dire necessity the loyalty of his con-
gregaton will be shown in a manner that
will leave no doubt that all feel the SER
iousness of the situation.

VAN WORST PARK REPLACED

The work Of cleaning away the debris
caused by the storm at Van Worst Park
is nearly completed and the work of put
ting the park in condition has been al
ready begun. Commissioner Heintze said
this morning that the city was we'll able
to make the necessary improvements to
the park. and did not appear to think
much of the suggestion OF Dr. @. X. pick
inscn concerning the proposition to have
the work done by popular subscription In
the event of the city failing to arpTopri-
ate the necessary money for the improve-
ment
ssThe work will be pushed forward i'm
mediately,' he said. THE park will be
laid out in scientific manner. The trees
to be planed will line the sidewalk and
every other one will be a quick growing
tree.
These will furnish plenty Of shade in
the near future, and by the time the
slow growing trees are giving the requir-
ed amount of shade the quick growing
trees may be removed. Beautiful flower
beds are to be made and the park will
soon look much handsomer than It has
ever looked before.

MAYOR HooS THANKED
Twelfth Ward Association Approves
His Recent Action.

Mayor Hoos today received the following
communication from the Twelfth Ward
Improvement Association
Jersey City, N. J., Aug. 26, 1901.
"Hon. Edward Hoos Mayor, Jersey City,
N. j.
Dear Sir-I have been instructed to
write you and inform you that this asso-
citation thanks you most heartily for the
stand you have taken in regard to the
appointment of an inspector to look after
the cement for the new water works
We believe with you that 1t is a needless
expenditure, and a waste of the citizens
money If the Street and Water Board
really desires to do good thing, why not
take the amount of money necessary to
pay fora useless job and put it into the
reservoir for a recreation ground, then
thousands could enjoy it, whereas in the
appointment of an inspector only one will
derive benefit, or perhaps few. Again
thanking you, I am,
Yours respectfully.
FREDERICK BUGASCH,
Secretary"

POOR, JOHNNY ERWIN.
No Wonder He Looked
Wilted as He Marched
Home Last
Night.

The fifth annual outing of the John ].
Erwin Association to Zehden's Casino,
College Point l.. l., yesterday was chiefly
remarkable for the absence of the county
and State Republican celebrities who had
promised to be present but failed to put
in an appearance. 1t demonstrated clear
ly that e-Sheriff Toffey's under sheriff
was no longer a factor in Republican
politics. Not single county organization
man of any note was to be found among
the 200 drab hated Erwinites who left
Geregory street headquarters of the
organization at te no clock in the morning
and after parading through some of the
streets of the lower city, boarded the
steamboat Victor at the Morris street
dock.

as was Judge William Vredenburgh of
the Court of Errors, but the former came

C. de r. Leonard, who was the major

keenly.
