BOY OF SIX DROWNED
Fell Through the Coating 81
Ice and Was Too Much
Chilled to Struggle.

Six year old Alfred B. Kivlon, of No 261
Henderson street, fell into the Morris
Canal yesterday afternoon and was
drowned. The body was recovered and
sent to the home of the child's parents.
Alfred and some older boys went to the
canal to play on the ice. They found it
too thin to support them and they played
about the banks of the stream. Alfred
strayed away from his companions and
they went home without him, supposing
he had gone before. The lad returned to
the banks Of the canal and not finding
any Of the other boys about started
toward home. He walked along the bank
and slipped and fell in. 1t is thought the
sudden chill caused by the cold water
overcame him so that he was unable 20
struggle to safety.
John Klotzman,s homeless wanderer,
passed the spot where the boy had
been drowned and saw the body at the
bottom Of the canal. He dragged it out
and notified the police who in turn noti-
fed Mrs. Kivlon. Undertaken McNulty-
was sent to the place and he removed the
body.
Mrs Kiolon is almost prostrated at her
homt She became hysterical and the
services Of a physician were required to
quiet her.

OF morning made him hasten to the place
whence the sound came. A woman scant-
lily clad had blown the warning.
Lewis sent in an alarm from nearby
box Meanwhile the tenants hustled out
of the burning buildings with few clothes
on. their slumbers having been disturbed
by the blaze Some carried personal ef-
fects and deposited them on the sidewalks
and in the streets in confusion. Great
excitement prevailed The engines ar
rived and with them the reserves from
the station house. Policemen went from
house to house waking up those tenants
not yet aroused by the excitement and
noise Mothers carried their children into
the streets and sought shelter in neigh
bors' houses. There were almost fifty
people in the burning houses when the
fire began. Everyone was fortunate
enough to get out uninjured.
The building in which the fire started
was almost gutted on the interior. Nos. 2
and were also burned inside and the
three houses on Grand street were but
slightly burned and not rendered un-
tenantable. The damage done by water
was greater than that by fire. The houses
were thoroughly soaked. Credit is due
the firemen for getting to work so quickly.
The blaze was speedily under control and
at no time were the larger dwellings on
Grand street in danger.

$4,000 BLAZE.
Woodstock Company's Lum-
Der Yard Consumed By
Fire Last Night.

The Woodstock Company's lumber,
planlng and turning mills at West Side
avenue and the Susquehanna Railroad
was completely destroyed by fire last
night. The damage Is between $4,000 and
$4,000, as much valuable machinery was
damaged or destroyed. just how the fire
originated is not known. 1t started in the
boiler room, shortly before nine clock.
The structure, which was frame one,
was series of shops and sheds and
covered half a block. Much valuable
hard wood was stored in with other lum-
Der and all was burned. The flames leap
ed high into the sky notwithstanding the
damp atmosphere. 1t was showing at the
time.
The flames could be seen for miles
around. They drew thousands of specta-
tors to the immediate vicinity. Some half
dozen fine engines and several trucks
from the Hill section responded, but the
fire men fought with difficulty, as there
are no hydrants in West Side avenue
nearer than st. Paul's avenue, except one
near the railroad.
The fire had good start as the fire.
men had considerable distance to go.
Some of their efforts had to be devoted to
saving frame dwellings that stood to the
north of the burned factory, the nearest
one being separated by a mere driveway.
There are about twenty of these buildings
and had the nearest caught fire it is be-
lieved that all would have been destroyed
The wind was blowing strongly in their
direction.
On a side track near by stood two large
cars containing many gallons of kerosene
oil. These were stationery and could not
be moved away. They stand near build
ing also stored with oil. The fear that
the cars and building would catch fire and
an explosion ensue made the firemen
work more careful and hazardous.
The spectators were made to keep at
respectful distance by Police Captain Nc
Kaig and a squad of policemen.
The factory adjoins Michael Maloney' .
planlng mills, which was also damaged to
some extent.

DUMPS SEARCHED.
Clerk Rooney's Vital Statis-

Rubbish.
he LED TIE RESCUE PARTY
And After Four Hours Work
the Important Document
Was Recovered.

long and successful search for q valu-
able missing public document took place
at the dumps at Merseles street, in the
| neighborhood of what is known as Little
Italy. The search was participated in by
large number Of denizens of the neigh
borhood and was witnessed by an equally
large number of spectators.
Clerk g. J. Rooney Of the County Health
Board was in charge Of the searching par
ty. The finder Of the missing document
received a liberal reward.
When Clerk Rooney left his office ad-
joining the Court House on Tuesday af-
ternoon last he left behing on his desk
the tabulated statement of vital statis-
tics for the past year. which he had spent
several weeks in preparing. During the
night the document must have fallen to
the floor and when the Jail prisoners
cleaned the Office the paper was gather
ed up and with a quantity of rubbish car
ried to a receptacle at the rear Of the
JAIL
When Clerk Rooney arrived at the office
on Wednesday morning he found the sta
tistics which he had gathered with so
much difficulty missing. At once he be-
gan his search. A summarizing of the
rubbish receptacle at the rear of the
jail failed TO disclose the missing paper.
Mr.. Rooney learned that Bernard Nc
Ginnis, of No. 240 Wayne street, had the
contract for removing garbags, ETC., from
the Court House. McGinnis found that
a driver named Greyey had removed the
rubbish from the Jail yard early Wednee-
day morning.
Clerk Rooney then searched for Grevey
and from him learned about the location
of the dump where the rubbish of that
day had been placed. A number of willing
hands began the search of the dumps and
after about four hours the missing docu-
ment, crumpled and dirty, was found
under pile of rubbish. 1t is needless to
say that Mr.. Rooney was very much
pleased at the success of his long search.
