SUING HER FORMER TENANT
Collapse Of Candy Factory Caused
by Overweight Owner Says.

A damage suit growing out OF the coli
lapse of the candy factory at Washington
and Steuben streets on the evening OF
June 16 of last year, was begun before
Justice Collins and jury in the Supreme
Court this morning. The plaintiff is Mrs.
Mary A. Chidester, who asks the value
of the building some 5000 or $7,000-from
George Auspach, the lessee who, she
charges, overweighted the floors against
the Stipulations of the lease and the pro-
tests of John A. McCann, who represented
her in the control of the property.
Ex-senator William D. Edwards, who
appeared for the plaintiff, said he would
prove that under the provisions of a lease
made October /, 1897 which was In force
at the time of the accident, Auspach
agreed not to place over 125 pounds to the
square foot on the two upper floors OF
the building which he occupied. Instead
from 300 to 400 pounds were placed there.
AS a result of the accident Mrs. Chi
dester's property was entirely wiped out.
Counsellor G. G. Black, who appears for
the defendant, will claim that Auspach
kept within the strict terms OF the lease
and that the accident resulted from the
unsafe condition of the building. for whlcn
the plaintiff alone was responsible.
It will be remembered that when the
building collapsed Auspach's employees
escaped most miraculously. They had
finished their work and were in the wash
room when the crash came A stairway
al that point alone held up that part of
the building and no lives were lost.

MURPHY IN TOWN
Stopped Here This Morning
But Nothing Out of the
Ordinary Happened.

Franklin Murphy, the Republican nom-
inee for Governor, was in Jersey City at
noon today for very short time and as
far as can be ascertained his visit was
not accompanied by particularly strange
disturbance of the usual course of nature.
on the contrary his brief stay was as
quiet and uneventful as summer day in
the deserted village. Mr.. Murphy was
on his way from his home in Newark to
Bergen county, where he will attend the
Republican convention at Little Ferry:
He arrived on PENNSYLVANIA train and
left on one Of the New York, Susque-
hanna and Western Road. Although ne
stood for fifteen minutes in prominent
position in the big trainshed, where he
was in plain sight of the throngs passing
to and fro, no one paid the least attention
to him and anything like cheers OF en-
thusiasm was as scarce as Dr PARK
hurst's praise Of Edward M. Shepard.
In short it was rather a gloomy party
which the Governor brought with nm
1t was very small party, consisting OF
Mr. Murphy's son, a tall, fine looking
young man, who smiles all over and says,
siOh! now 1 wish you'd stop that when
anybody introduces him as the Governor
son; three reporters, who looked very
sick of their job. and Congressman Chas.

trate the gloom with gorgeous ralnnoWs

knew every one In the party, Joined It
for few minutes. He wore Seymour
ing it in his hand he fastened it upon
the lapel Of the candidates coat, saying,

and catching a glimpse Of the well known
features of Newark's Mayor, he recovered
himself quickly.

TIVE Wives Of Kesiern Appear
Against Him.

Two neatly attired women, one petite
and decidedly handsome, the ether stout
and ordinary looking. appeared in the
General Sessions Court this morning and
glared with scorn and contempt at Frank
u Kellers, middle aged man, who with
an air Of Indifference pleaded guilty to
bigamy in having married both Of them.
The younger looking was Keller's first
wife, whom he had married at Kingston,
Pa, on April Is, 1888, under the name Of
Swatlich. According to the Indictment
the ceremony was performed by the Rev.
Father J. Bergen, and In 1888 the groom
disappeared, leaving the wife Of i've years
to care for their two children.

faithless spouse was that on November
23, 1899, he had married Mary Gross Of

POT OF PITCH. ON FIRE.
| Negro Thought He Was Killed
and Ran Yelling Through
the Street.

A Dot containing about ten tons of mol
ten pitch in the plant of the Uvalde
Asphalt Company, at the foot Of Green
street, became overheated this afternoon
shortly after one o'clock and its contents
were ignited. The blaze shot up until 1t
licked the corrugated iron ceiling, and
great volumes of dense black smoke pour
ed forth from every crevice in the build
ing.
A negro named Littlefield, who was at
work on the top floor, where the blazing
pot was, fed to the yard bowling that
hewas killed. He never stopped running
until he got four blocks away and then
not hearing the explosion that he had ex-
peeted would follow the first burst of
flames returned to the plant
In his fight Littlefield spread such com
sternation among a dozen other supersti-
tious negroes who were employed there
that they became panicstricken and soon
the other seventy or eighty employees
were stampeded- Nothing but the pres-
ence of mind and quick action of Super
intendent Critchfield prevented the men
rushing pell nell through the neighbor-
hood. Superintendent Gritchf1eld blocked
and with a few quiet words relieved the
fears of his employees. While Critchfield
was thus engaged his assistant, James
Mcclure, hastened to the burning pitch
with a fire extinguisher He strug-
gled blindly through the dense smoke and
narrowly escaped falling into the burning
mass. After carefully adjusting the ex-
tinguisher It refused to work and Me-
CURE was forced to drop the machine
and fly to the open air SO that he would
not be suffocated. Some one sent In an
alarm of fire and in remarkably short
time the fire engines were at the scene.
The Fire Departments chemical ma
chimes soon extinguished the flames.
No other damage was done but the
burning Of the pitch The loss. Superin-
fendent Eritchdeld said, would amount to

Danger From Weakened
Building Now 0onsid-
cred Over.
TENANTS REMOVE GOODS
Police Remove the Lines and
People Are Allowed on
jackson Avenue.

+ House Mover N c. Clynes and a gang
Of his men late last night went at the
work Of snoring up the falling outer wall
of the four-story brick house at Forrest
street and jackson avenue, which had
been momentarily expected to fall since
Friday night. The men could not work
durink the day because of the slippery
mud. They could get no foothold. It was
considered dangerous to go near the
structure
All danger Of falling is now considered
past. Mr.. Clynes directed the work last
evening and even took twice the risk mis-
men did He said he would not send his
men where he would not go. A block and
tackle were erected and a big T-shaped
brace put against the southern end Of
the wall late last night. The large tim
Der is braced against the curb on Forrest
street. Two others We're put in place
later. 1t was then considered safe to al
low the tenants to go in and get out
whatever goods were not ruined by the
falling of the walls and ceilings.
One of the tenants, William Roehrer,
the printer. began taking some of his be-
longings out this morning. 1t is believed
that by tonight the w0rkmen will have
braced the walls sufficiently to allow the
When the tenants have secured all Of
their furniture the building will be torn
down.
A lot of old bricks and several window
sashes and blinds which were hanging
loose on the rear wall were torn down to
prevent accidents to the workmen.
The building is total wreck. It can
not be repaired. The walls have shifted
from three to four feet and the founda-
tions are out of plumb Besides every wall
is cracked in dozen places. The build
ing IS now considered a lot of second
hand material The loss will be at least
$4,000 to the owner.
Mr.. Clyne said last evening that he
could have saved the house had he had
notice earlier. If the men had gone to
work Friday night the building could
have been kept as good as ever, he be-
lieves.
The police were on the alert to prevent
accidents. Even the trolley passengers
were refused passage beyond the danger
lines Captain McKaig took this pre-
caution when the building began to be
dangerous
The Captain had an experience with a
man who would go through the lines
about ten o'clock last evening. He could
not be argued into going around, but in
sisted on passing the ropes The police
tried to persuade him to obey and finally
he was arrested after almost fifteen min
utes argument. He gave his name as
Herman Fredericks, liquor dealer of
New York, and his home as Mo- 935 For
further trouble but Patrolman McNulty
lost his badge while arresting Fredericks.
The police this morning allowed people
to pass along Jackson avenue. They con-
sidered that all danger OF the building
falling had passed.
