FIRE, WATER, AIR AND CRIME
Every source OF Misfortune Has Taken
Fling at Paterson.

Fire, then water, now air. By the three
destructive elements has Paterson been
devastated in less than year and half.
The fire, which did the most damage,
started at midnight on Saturday, Feb. o,
OF last year and, famed by wind from
the northwest burned unchecked for twelve
hours, wiping out the very heart OF the
city and destroying property valued at
between $4,000, 900 and 50 100000. Among
the buildings destroyed were 100 frame
houses, six bank buildings, the public
library, five churches, two hotels, two
schools, police headquarters, fire station,
a theatre, a clubhouse and forty or more
office buildings and halls,
Offers OF aid poured in on the stricken
city from out side points. but the Paterson
people led by Mayor Hinchlife, declined
the offers and pluckily raised their own
relief fund. .
when, three weeks after the fire. the Passaic
River, swollen by spring freshets, over
flowed, doing great damage to the manu-,
featuring section Of the city. The actual
property damage was about 81 ,OOO,0 600, but
the torrent that swept over the river section
of the town made nearly six hundred fam
lies temporarily homeless and kept thou
pay while repairs were being made in the
factories.
At the time of these disasters Paterson,
besides being known all over the industrial
world as one of the greatest silk manu-
featuring places in the country, had also
acquired a reputation for general wicked
ness, which it has found hard work TO live
down The town has been hotbed OF
Anarchists, among whom was Bresci, the
SLAYER of King Humbert of Italy il has
sheltered professional labor" agitators
who melted violence on the silk mills in
times of strikes, and it sent to the world
one of the most shameful stories OF brutal
depravity ever printed in the case OF Jennie
Boaschieter, who, in 1901, was drugged.
put in cab, assaulted and killed by several
young sports" of the town.
In view of this long chapter OF crime
for so small town there were many who
declared that the destruction wrought on
the town was nothing more or less than

HIS DEFAIC4TIONS S5OO, OOO.
Clerk OF Buffalo Law Firm Uses Their
Money In Real Estate SpeculatiOns.

BUFFALO. July 22-As the investigation
continues into the defalcations of Frank
V. I.ahountie, confidential clerk and book
keeper for the law firm Of Wilson & Smith
of this city, it develops that Labountie's
embellishments were on fer larger scale
than was originally thought or admitted
by Charles h. Wilson, senior member of the
firm. The figures now are approaching
the half million mark. and the investigation
is not nearly finished.
Mrs. labountie made a statement this
morning on behalf of her husband in which
she voluntarily admitted that his operations
We're on a more extensive scale than had
been admitted She added:
My husband returned $4,000 before his
employers knew anything about his wrong
doing, and since the beginning of the in
vestigation no has turned over TO the firm
property that aggregates in value not less
than 500. 900.
"ln other words, he has restored nearly
half a million dollars. When all is over
Wilson K Smith will be able to realize a
profit of AT least 100000 from the opera
tons of a man who was insane on the SUBJ
ject of real estate speculatiOns and whose
mental arrangement was due entirely to
OVerWOrk.
Thus far Iabountie has not been ar
rested formally.
The firm had iifty-two estate accounts
alone and it was Labountie's duty to look
after these accounts. On some days he
handled as much AS $4,000 in cash His
salary was $50 n month at first. II was
raised gradually TO $50, and since July last
ne has been receiving S82. 80 n month.
II was last July that Labountie plunged
into his real estate speculations. Once ilr
had taken the plunge he lost all sense of
fear and there was no limit TO the daring
which he displayed in robbing his employers
to put through his gigantic real estate
spcculatons.

HOW NIKE MARTIN SAVED CHILD
& ul,icd His Fire Horses One on Each slide
OF a Scared Little Girl.

false alarm of fire was turned in from
Box 1853, at the corner of Ludlow and Di-
vision streets, yesterday morning. Engine
Is, located in Henry street, was the first
to respond, and as it passed Clinton street
Sarah Edeman, years old, of $40 Clinton
street, stood on the sidewalk and watched
it go by.
When it had passed she todded into the
street, not noticing the tender that dashed
up behind the engine.
The driver Of the tender, Mike Martin.
saw the child in the middle of the street
when he was but few yards away. The
child also saw the tender but she stood quite
still not knowing which way to turn. Martin
had to think quick and he did,
Owing to the narrowness Of the street
he realized that to swerve TO either side
meant death for the child as some part Of
the tender would strike her, and would
also result in the wrecking Of the truck
and D ossible injury to himself and the
other men on il. There was only one chance
and he took it.
He guided the horses straight ahead 40
they would pass on ei thcr side of the child
and they did. The pole OF the tender
struck the little ones head, but the wheels
did not strike her Mike drove on to the
fire, and when he foun d that 1t was a false
alarm he hurried back to where the child
had been struck.
In the meantime a citizen had carried
the little girl to a drug store and an am
bulance had been summoned from Gouver-
neur Hospital Dr. Emily Dunning. the
woman surgeon, responded and found the
child to he suffering only from a scalp
wound and shock, as might be expected.
The child didn't want to go to the hospital
and her mother also refused TO let her be
taken there. DR.. Dunning said it wasn't
necessary and the little girl was taken
home
What worried her more than anything
else was when Dr. Dunning, in dressing
her wound, cut of some OF her hair.
That's all right" said Mike Martin to

your hair up pompadour and wear one Of

PRIEST HALLENRACK ARRESTED.
Post Officc Messenger Roy Says He Threw
Hin, UT a StO0D.

NEW ROCHELLE, n, Y. July 22.--G. H.
Hallenback, president of the International
College Of Languages and prominent
resident of Rochelle Park, was arraigned
to-day in the police court on a charge
of assault. The complainant was John
j. Owens, l8 years old, special delivery
messenger in the New Rochelle post office.
On last Saturday, the boy says, he went
to Mr. Hallcnbacks home at about
o'clock in the morning with letter. He
alleges that Mr. Hallenback. angered
because of being awakened so early
snatched the letter from him, kicked
him and threw him OFF the stoop to the
lawn eight feet below, severely iniuring
him.
Mr. Hallenback pleaded not guilty and
was paroled for one week in the custody
OF hia counsel, ex-Judge John A. Vanzelm.
His version is that the messenger visited
his home before 8o'clock. and, after ringing
the doorbell and failing to arouse any one,
slammed the doors and shutters. The
noise made him very angry. but he only
scolded the boy when he came down stairs,
At the post office to-day 1t was said that
the boy was so badly hurt that he was
unable to work and that his parents were
preparing to sue Mr.. Hallenback for dam
ages,

Contractors FOR the Public Library Enable
TO Meet Demands.

BosroN, July Frank b. Smith and
receivers for the Norcross Brothers Com
pany, building contractors. Inability to
complete contracts is the reason assigned
for the concerns difficulties.
The corporation has contracts in hand

and operates extensive granite quarrios.
The company has the contract for build
ing the public library at Fifth avenue and
Forty -second street, in New York city.
The receivers were appointed by Judge
Brown in the Superior Court, who fixed
their bond at 100000.
The application for the receivership

other creditors, by Manchester 4 Hudson

company is said TO be $1,000 On the

The New York representative of Nor
cross Brothers is Thomas O'Reilly, who
il a member of the Building Trades En-
ployers Association. At the headquarters
of the association, ll23 Broadway, it was
stated last night that the failure of the
firm had no connection with the shut
down on building work here. repre-
sentative builder in the association said:
"Norcross Bros. are probably among
the largest building contractors in the
United States, but more than 40 per cent.
Of their contracts are in cities outside Of
New York. The largest contract they have
here is the New York Public Library, which
has not been interefered with by strikes
The failure ia looked upon by builders
as a temporary embarrassment brought
about by the magnitude Of its operations.
