Fires on shipboard

Consul Liefeld at Freiburg has sent
to the State Department the following
article on extinction of fire on ship
board, taken from a European journal
devoted to the fire service:
Some experiments have been made
at Bremen in connection with a. new
mode of extinguishing fires on board
ship. invented by a British chemist.
The objects aimed al and said TO have
been attained by the new system are:
First, tossgive timely notice, by means
of special apparatus, of any, fire
which may break out in the hold of
ship; and second, to promptly extin-
guish the same by pumping carbonic
acid gas into the hold.
tThis chemist claims that when a fire
breaks out in the ships hold if his
SYSTEM as, followed the fire will be
autom4 Eaally announced on deck; it

the deck and extinguished by opera
riefls carried out on the deck. His sys-
TEN consists in fitting pipes in every
compartment of the vessel communicat-
ing with The deck, acting as safety
valves, through which smoke and heat
ed air may ascend to the deck in case
of fire and give the alarm: further,
thermometers and alarms may be low
cred down these tubes, thus making it
possible to- watch the progress of the
fire in the hold from the deck without
either removing the matches or enter
ing the hold, and, lastly (which is the
principal feature of the systeln), down
these pipes IS pumped the carbonic
acid gas, which will extinguish the
fire. The gas can be forced among the
cargo at any required pressure, and
it will permeate everything, even tight,
ly slowed cotton bales

DOYLE DISCOVERS DOPE
IN A LAUNDRY WAGON

That a great deal of opium which
has of late been flooding this city has
been coming into the country by way
of San Francisco, contrary to the gem
eral impression, was proved yesterday
morning when Customs Inspector Wal.
ter Doyle held up a Chinese laundryman
who was taking clothes from the
steamship Zealandia, and discovered,
wrapped up with the soiled linen, sew
eral thousand dollars worth of Hong
Kong opium, No. 1.
Doyle was on duty on the Oceanic
wharf yesterday morning The Zea1an-
dia, which arrived from San Francisco
on Saturday. was lying at the wharf
Chung Wo, a Chinese. who is in the
habit of calling at the wharf for the
washing of the Oceanic steamers, was.
about 10 o'clock, on the wharf with his
wagon, taking the washing from the
vessel. Another Chinese, Wong Cow,
accompanied Chung Wo
When all the clothes had been put
on the wagon, Chung Wo. instead of
driving off the wharf by way of the
main gate, attempted to get away by
another passage.
Doyle, whose eyes had not missed a
move of the laundryman and his assist
ant. and whose suspicious were arous-
ed. Immediately held up the wagon,
and demanded to know what was con-
tanned in the bundles of clothes. The
Chinese, both of them, at once became
panicky, and asked to be permitted to
go back onto the wharf. This Doyle
objected to, and when the Chinese made
an attempt to run away, the inspector
pulled his gun on them and invited
them to remain and witness the pro-
ceedings.
Then Doyle, keeping his weather eye
on the Celestials, began to feel the big
bundles of clothes. His heart gave a
bound, when his fingers clutched the
hard corner of a box through the soft
covering of soiled linen.
Then was amusement furnished for
the little crowd which happened to wit
ness the affair. for it was a funny spec
tacle to see Doyle lead the horse tRat
pulled the wagon, with one hand, while

from the standpoints of both finance
and amusement.N
The house was packed to standing
room capacity with a representative
audience, among whom were noticed
the following:
Chief Justice Frear Mrs. B. F. Dill
bingham, Mr. and Mrs. w. F. Allen, Mr..
and Mrs. L. A. Thurston, Mr.. and Mrs.

The following is the full report and
adjustment of awards in the advertis
ing tourney. as handed in by the chair
man of the adjudication committee:
Before going to the advertising
tourney the judges of the contest had
decided to make four mentions, under
the following heads:
l. The most original conception.
2 The most elaborate or spectacular
display.
g. The most artistic design.
T. The most comical performance.
When the time for judgment came
It was not the ca siest matter to classify
the different advertiser, nts. A few
seemed to show two or three qualifica-
lions, while some that We're good
seemed not to belong to any determin-
ed classification.
A number showed originality, a num-
Der elaborateness of display, as regards
detail. while amusement or pleasure
was afforded by almost all The final
decision was as follows:
For the best and highest emphasis OF
the important point in advertising put
up, the California Feed Company ex-
celled.
Mr.. Bailey's plumbing jingle certainly
deserves mention.
The Hawaiian Fertilizer Company's
display was not only ingenious, but ex-
cellent in point of advertisement
The National Cash Register Com
ipany, besides originality, showed elab-
orateness of treatment comical and
careful illustrations of the worth of the
goods.
1. The most original conception. Ma
tional Cash Register Company.
2. The most spectacular display.
Bruce. Waring & Co.
8. The most artistic design, Lewis &
Co.
f. The most comical performance,
Pacific Hardware Company, Limited.
The Bulletin Publishing Company
should be mentioned for realistic pre-
sentation.
The Davey Photograph Company
gave perhaps as pleasing an entertain
ment as any. to judge from the actions
of the audience.
For faithful advertising of all de-
partments, E. 0. Hall & Co., and Pear
SON and Potter Company should be
mentioned.
Mrs. J. s. McGrew, Mrs. J. B.. Ather-
ton, Mrs. s. NJ. Damon, Mrs. w Frear
Mrs. A. T. Atkinson and Mrs Alexan-

Stokes ACT DECISION
On the Court Of Errors De-
pends the Complexion
Of the Board Of
Education.

The present members of the Board OF
Education and those who are desirous of
filling their places await with much anx-
iety the decision of the Court of Errors
and Appeals as to the constitutionality
OF the Stokes Act because that dictum
determines the power of Mayor-elect
Mark M. Pagan to appoint ten members
of the Board on January next.
There are two questions involved, the
first being the right OF the Board of FL
nance and a committee of the Board OF
Education together with the Mayor, sit
ting as Board of Estimate, having
charge Of the erection of new schools;
the second being the terms of the board.
Mayor Hoos appointed the present board
to terms of two years, and should the
act be upheld the following directors will
hold over until January, 1S9S:-Messrs.
August Succow CD, p. j. Kennedy CD,
John H. Ward (R.), Charles O. Barker
(R.}, George f. Witt (R.), Walter K.
Birdsall (R.), John J. Cullen Cd, George
M. Culver CD. Julius Berger CD, and
President John j. Mulvaney CD.
If, on the other hand, the act is un-'
constitutional, Mayor Pagan will appoint
to the places these men fill.

MARRIED BY MISTAKE
Young Couple Stunned When
Told They Were Man
and Wife.

Justice of the Peace Frank O'Keefe. of
Hoboken, married young German couple
yesterday afternoon whose names he re-
fused to make public because of promise
which he made after the ceremony. TIE
couple first called at Police Headquarters
and said that they wanted to be married
by justice of the peace. Doorman Muir
ray took them around to Justice O'Keefe's
office on First street, and a few minutes
later the Justice was prepared for the
ceremony.
.'You desire to be married?" he asked.
The young man and his blushing COM
panion replied in the affirmative.
'.Clasp hands them" said the justice, af-
ter taking down the necessary records.
Here interrupted Doorman Murray,
addressing the bride. take that glove
off, Have nothing between you.
The bride smilingly removed the glove
from her right hand ana in less time than
i: takes to tell it they were married.
Now you understand" said the Justice,
''you are now man and wife.
The words of the justice seemed to stun
them. The young man gazed at his yourg
wife and the young woman gazed at her
young husband. Then they both gazed at
the justice
The justice was getting nervous. To
break the silence he repeated:-''Yes, you
are married now"
At last the bride in weak, nervous
voice replied:-''We are? Why, we only
intended to arrange for the marriage. We
have no money with u.s..
The couple became trifie easier when
the justice announced that they could pay
at some other time. They went away
and returned an hour later with a So fee.
Justice O'Keefe said that both of his;
callers resided in T1oboken. He said that
they had met by appointment while on
their way home from work.

CROSSING GUARDED
Cop Watchers Constantly at
Mallory Avenue.

Neither the Central Railroad nor the
United States Crucible Company has
made any attempt to steal a crossing
over Mallory avenue since she police
stopped the laborers several weeks ago.
The laborere have been at work ever

of the street spur has been built,
running from West Side avenue to NAL
lory avenue and there it ends. From
the other end a track has also been run

The street is less than twenty feet wide
and that strip separates the two tracks
Capain McKaig has had a man on duty
near the disputed street day and night
since the railroad began work.
The steel works has purchased hum
dred acres of property near the Hacken-

riparian rights for docks. Over million
dollars is being spent in building several
large brick buildings to form one of the
largest steel plants n the country. The
steel works wants the single track to
carry lumber for the buildings from the
Newark branch of the Central road.
Thousands of feet of timber were to be
hauled to the new buildings this way,
but the plan was knocked in the head
by the police. Dozens of trucks are now
carting the timber.
The piles for the new buildings are
those which formed part of the old Red

NO CITIZENS TODAY
Court to Busy to Attend to Appli-
cants for Naturalizations

About twoscore applicans for natural
ization, who had filed their preliminary
papers before election and who presumed
that the examinations would be resumed
today and continued on each Friday
thereafter. appeared at the Court House
this morning prepared to prove their
eligibility for citizenship, but were
obliged to leave without being given the
opportunity.
Judge Blair was engaged with case
in the Orphans Court and the benches
of the court room were well filled with
intending citizens and their witnesses,
when shortly before noon the Court made
the announcement that there would be
no examinations today and perhaps not
for a month at least.
The Judge said that he would announce
through the public press the days fixed
for examinations. He said as there was
no election for another year there was no
necessity except as a matter of conven-
ience to the applicants to have their ex-
aminations at this time. He added that
the Court had made no announcement
to the effect that the naturalization
bureau would resume its work today.
There was considerable disappointment
expressed by the willing-to-be citizens.

JERSEYS RAILROADS
This States Mileage, on Basis
of Area, Leads the
Rest.


New Jersey has taken first place amorg
the States of the Union in its railroad
mileage, as compared with area, and only
recently wrested that distinction from
Massachuse IS, which is now second ir
rank.
The only official figures are those of
the Interstate Commerce Commission far
June 50, 1900 Railroad building sfsiHse
that date has not materially changed the
averages. and do not affect New Jersey )
supremacy.
On the basis ef the mileage for each 100
shows a proportion of mileage of 2ses;
Massachusetts. 1886; Pennsylvania, 22.se.
.0hio 21.61; Connecticut, A.13; Rhode
Island, POLL. These are the only States
that reach proportion of 20 to 100 square
miles of territory. The increase of mile
age in New Jersey in the last year re
ported was also more than three times
greater than the increase in Massachu-
setts. The average proportion per zoe
square miles for the United States was
e.51, in a total railroad mileage o.
1sS, ,S457S.
New Jerseys total mileage at the date
of the last report was 2,S37.39 miles,
against 2.11S.5S miles in Massachusetts,. 1t
stands thirty-first in the list of States ard
territories, and has nearly as much mile
age as any one of the nine States that
show higher proportion of mileage to
area.
AS the New Jersey railroads are ter
minal roads for trans-continental traffic.
their value is much greater than that or
railroads in interior States. The value of
the railroad property in Hudson county
alone, inclusive of the water front owned
by the roads, is probably greater than
that of the entire railroad system in the
State of Delaware or Rhode Island or
Nevada or of the values in several other
Western States.

FOR SMALL P0x PATIENTS
New Conveyance to Take Them to
Pest House.


A needed change in the manner of con-
veying to the Snake Hill pesthouse per-
sons afflicted with smallpox has been,
made by Freeholders Kelly, Moran and
Capan of the county hospital committee.
For years a delapidated ambulance has
been used for the purpose and the signr
of the grewsome vehicle pulling up in
front of a house. in which a case of the
loathsome disease had appeared generally
condition of the old ambulance went from
bad to worse. No one would repair it
for fear that some of the disease germs
still lurked in its rotten furnishings. Be
sides, veing open at both ends. it was
most uncomfortable and dangerous vehicle:
in which to transport patients in winter
when smallpox is most prevalent.
Now at an expense of $3.50 the Freehold
ers have purchased secondhand coach,
team of horses and harness for small
pox patients, and it is generally conceded
that the Investment is a most sensible
one.
