.BRAKENANS NICK BROKEN.
Accident Near Holmes, Booth &
 Haydens' Factory.

Man Was Uncoupling Cars When
 Something Gave Way and He Fell
 Belonged in Bridgeport and Was
 On An Extra Freight Train Bound
 North.
 Michael J. Keane of Nichols street, Bridgeport, a brakeman in the -em ploy of the Consolidated road was killed at 12:30 o'clock on the tracks of the Naugatuck road opposite the factory of Holmes, Booth & Haydens. He WAS brakeman on an extra freight bound north, and was uncoup- ling cars when something gave way and he was precipitated to the ground breaking his neck. As soon as the ac- cident occurred pr De Ligouri was called, but medical aid was of no avail. The body was carried into the wire mill of Holmes, Booth & Hay dens, where Medical Examiner Crane made an examination of the mans fnL juries and gave permission for the re moval of the remains to Mulville's morgue. The train crew was made up as follows: Conductor, Jerry Connor: engineer. Harry Burns: fire man, Albert Weaver; fagman, Albert Moss; brakemen, John Allan. Christo- pher Keegan and Michael J. keane. The dead man was about forty years old and was of powerful build. There was not a mark on him that the medi- cal examiner could find and he looked so natural as he rested on truck 1n the factory that one would think he had laid down for rest and fell into n sound sleep. A knife, an old pipe and a watch were the only things found in his pockets. These the med ical examiner turned over to one of his companions, Mir Keegan. He is survived by widow and two children. The family have been notified and the body will be taken to Bridgeport Tor burial.

State Board of Health To Quarantine
 Allegheny.
 Pittshurg. Pa. Oct -Alleghenv will be ouarantined to-day to protect the outside public from smallpox con tagion if the state board of health is able to carry out its threat. For sev- eral months Allegheny has been aff1ict- ed with many cases of smallpox. but the authorities of the city were con1- dent of being able to control the dis ease without resorting to heroic measures. Dr w. R. Bott. quarantine officer at large of the state board of health in due time investigated the situation and on October 10 notified Superintendent Mclaughlin of the AL legheny health bureau that the state board had decided to quarantine the city unless within five days the laws regulating the control of contagious diseases were enforced by the Ale gheny bureau of health
 The time limit expired on Saturday but because Of the appeals of pronli- nent citizens It was extended. Ale gheny council in special meeting OH Monday failed to take the steps deem cd necessary by the state board, hence the radical action taken by that body.
 pr Bolt will arrive here today when it is expected he will put in force the quarantine law in it's fullest sense and the people of Allegheny will be prevented from leaving the city Already orders have been issued to regulate the transmission of mail money or banks, parcels, package and baggage by express or otherwise.

This statement was made at noon to-day by Chief-of- Police East man.

 New York. Oct 2S. Hundreds are homeless to-day, one fireman is dead and a score or more persons are suffer ing from injuries as the result of fire that wiped out a large section of kingsbridge
 Twenty buildings, including stores and dwellings. which sheltered about thirty families, were totally destroyed, and 150 men, women and children, half clad, were turned homeless out into the cold morning air.
 John J. Sullivan, 56 years of age, a fireman of Engine company No 62, was relieved at o'clock this morning, after fighting the flames all night. He was exhausted and, while waiting for a car to take him home. died.
 The damage will probably exceed $150,0Q0 most of the loss falling on the Dykeman estate, which owned the greater part of the property destroyed.
 The buildings destroyed were on both sides of Riverdale avenue in the blocks bounded by Church and Acker- man streets. The fire started in the feed and coal store of T. and W.
