OPPOSES CHANGE OF GRADE.
Harry Emmons Secures Rule on p, W. {
u. Railroad Co.

Harry Emmons is the complainant
in suit against the Philadelphia, Will
mington & Baltimore Railroad Co. to
prevent change of grade of streets
and avenues at Gordon Heights. In
the company's project for staightening
its tracks at Gordon Heights, change
would be involved in the streets and
avenues crossing the tracks. Upon
Mr.. Emmons' application, a rule to
show cause why an injunction should
not be granted, has been issued by
Chancellor Nicholson. The rule was
returnable today, but a postponement
was made until next Saturday at Dover.

Wealthy residents of this city expected
large supplies of coffee and provisions
from Passaic, Newark and New York.

In the hospitals are So persons in
;ured in the long fight against the
flames. Two deaths we're due to the
calamity. One was that Of an aged
woman. who fell down stairs in her
anxiety to view the fire. The other
was a woman who had Just become a
mother, ard who died as the result of
being removed from her home.
The sternest feature which Mayor
Hinchcliffc and his co workers find CON
fronting them is the necessity of pro
viding employment and permanent
| homes for the destitute. The fact that
the great silk mills escaped the rayages
of the flames is most important, as silk
making is the principal industry of the
city. About half tho population de-
pend upon the silk trade: and il their
occupation had been taken away, the
situation would have been appalling
Another important industry is that of
locomotive building and il was equally
fortunate that these works escaped the
flames. The great Rogers works and
the American locomotive works give
employment to thousands, and these
are running as usual today.
Just before daybreak the militia ar.
rested in one haul ii men caught loot
ing a building. Cos. A, G and M oi
the Fifth Regiment, Go. a of Passaic
and 80 deputy sheritfs were on guard
all night. They had orders to club any
one who did not obey orders TO move
on. The 120 members of Paterson
police force went on duty at s O'Clock,
relieving the militianien.
The anarchists who have made thi'
city their headquarters mourn the los
of their favorite meeting place, th'
office of La QUESTION: Sociale. The
Office of this newspaper was on Marke
street, and it went down in the path o
the flames. The home of Miss Ernestin'
Cravella. who attracted attention afte
the murder of King Humbert by he
infiammatory speeches in public meet
ings, was also burned. The homes o
many other Paterson anarchists wer
destroyed, though Batholdi's Hall
which was the clearinghouse of Bresci
the assassin of King Humbert, was un
touched by the fire. The houses nea
it on Straight and Market streets wer
all burned to the ground.
