WILL SIGN WARRANTS.
City Recorder Hodapp viii Follow
City Attorneys Advice.


City Recorder Hodapp will sign
John McCalll's 800 warrant for put
ting in the North Broad street sewer.
He announced this afternoon that it
would be his policy to follow the ad-
vice of the city attorney on all points
where he was in doubt.
The city attorney this afternoon ad-
vised Mr.. Hodapp that he could sign
the Mccall warrant. to be paid out
of any money in the special assess
ment fund, no matter whether the as
sessments for this particular improve
ment have been paid or not.
The other contractors will probably
also be paid so long as the special
assessment fund has enough money in
it.
Another matter that confronted the
new recorder was the payment of the
park superintendent. Former Recorder
Williams did not draw Mr.. Blake's
salary warrant for December because
the amount levied for park purposes
during the year has been exhausted.
although there Is money in the fund.
Mr.. Gibbons has not received pay for
two months for same reason.
City Attorney Daley is inclined to,
the belief that Supt Blake's salary
should come out of the current fund,
the same as other salaries, and not
from the park fund. There is plenty
of money in the general fund.

BURNED HIS WHISPERS.
Attorney Thompson WrestIes With a
Bad Fire at Amh0v.

S1u uS "a HNOOys
The Amboy Herald tells the story
this week of how Attorney Thompson
wrestled with gasoline stove and
was given the worst of 1t. Returning
home from the Presbyterian church
festivities Christmas eve Mr.. Thomp-
son walked into the kitchen to light a
lamp. The stove bad been leaking and
the room was full of gas. In an in
slant the apartment was ablaze, but
the fercest flames were about the
stove which was saturated with the
escaping fluid, Mr.. Thompson's FIRST
act was to attempt to get the stove
out of doors. He failed to get the door
open. and thinking it impossible to
save the house, as. by this time the
wall paper was on fire. a mirror was
broken, also one of the windows, and
few articles of clothing that were
in the room was afire. he turned his
attention to saving the chill iren who
were asleep. Gradually, however, the
flames died down and the FIRE was put
out Mr.. Thompson was severely
scorched, the left side or his face and
head getting the worst of it. There
was not much of his beard or hair left
on that side. His hands were blister
ed. and his nose did not escape. So
strong was the force of the flames that
1t forced the swinging door that led to
the dining room open. and Mrs.
Thompson had to brace against it to
prevent the flames from rushing into
the room.

ANOTHER CLOSE CALL.
Martin WiItgen Nearly Run Down on
Rock Street CROSSING,


Martin Wiltgen had a narrow escape
from injury or death on the Rock
street crossing Friday morning. He
was driving a hack containing the
new priest at ST. Peter and Pauls
Catholic church to catch the 5 As a.
m. Greac Western train. The gates at
the railroad crossing were up, indi-
eating that it was safe to cross the
tracks. Mr.. Wiltgen drove his horses
upon the tracks, when switch engine
came dashing down the track just
around the curve. He saw thesshead-
light just in time to hurridly back
his horses off of the track as the en-
CINE grazed their noses. The occur
renee gave Mr.. Wiltgen severe ner-
vous shock.
Friday night the gates were down a
long time when there was no need for
it, as no trains were moving. The
station was evidently vacated by the
operator, while the various convey
ances, express wagons. etc, were lined
up waiting impatiently to cross. The
drivers finally raised the gates them
selves and the teams all crossed.
Friday The Free Press had oc-
cssion to refer to another series of
neglects on the part of the gate ten
der, whereby an express driver nearly
lost his life. Such service ought not
to be tolerated by the city or the rail-
roads. The complaints have come in
for long time and the public has
stood them patiently. but a time
comes when forebearance is no longer
a virtue. In order to avoid serious
accidents, better service is needed.

NEW THINGS STRANGE q CURIOUS
New StyIe of Door.

For obvious reasons it is desirable
that doors on barns, freight cars,
storerooms and similar places should
occupy as little space as possible, and
a new door is shown which certainly
surpasses the old fashioned one in this
respect.
The latter, whether it opens inward
or outward, requires great deal of
room. especially if it opens inward.
the result being that barn or Car can
never be completely filed, since sufi-
cient space must always be left for the
free play of the door.
Moreover. sliding doors are not
much better, one reason being that
they are heavy and it is not always
easy to move them, and another that
there is ever.-danger that they will run
off the rollers.
The new door is made of separate
planks Of strong wood, which are fast
ened to chains and hang in regular
frame. They fit tightly together, SO
that whatever is stored in the barn or

of fur that is usually worn. 1t is OBJ
tanned. not from living animals, but
from those which have not yet been
born, and it naturally follows that in
order to obtain it the mothers must
first be killed.
According to foreign journals,
'breitschwantz' fur is in great de-
mand at present, and, as it is not cas-
lily procured, il is unusually costly.
The name ''fur" is hardly applicable
to it, as there are only faint traces of
hair on the tender skin.
In Berlin they have luminous name
plates fitted up at the street corners.

The City Skating Rink Draws a Large
Crowd,


The skating rink which the city has
prepared near Willard & Polchow g
brick yard has been we'll patronized
since it was completed the first of the
week. In fact, 1t has been crowded
with boys and girls from all parts of
the city. 1t covers about half an acre
of ground at present. but will be en-
larged as soon as freezing weather
occurs in the day time, and will be
flooded from time to time to keep it
smooth.
Small Kinks like this one should be
established in several parts of the city
hereafter. The writer recently saw a
small skating place in the midst of
the residence section of st. Paul. 1t
did not cover half a building lot, but
half hundred boys and girls were
having the best kind of time skating
around it. Two or three little ice
patches like this, scattered about the
city on vacant lots, would be greatly
appreciated by Young America as we'll
as by the latter's parents, who would
feel much safer to have the children
skating on such places than on the
river,

How Great Surgeon Died.

While Bichas, the famous surgeon.
was dying of typhoid fever, he turned
to an elderly colleague who was sit

"My friend, am lost, but it is
some consolation to know that my
case is very curious. During the last
few days I have noticed some old
symptoms, and I am studying them
carefully.
"Oh, you may recover yet. :" said the
friend.
"That is impossible, = replied
Bichat. "and if it were not for one
thing I would be quite willing to
die.
ST am exceedingly sorry," answered
Bichat, ''that I shall not have an op-
portunity to perform an autopsy on
myself after my death, for I know
that 1 would make some wonderful
scientific discovery.
