from lockjaw, caused by blow on the

north side of Ninth street, near Bruins

BRUDER'S PLIGHT
Man Descends a Chimney
Of the Old Albeit Man
sion and Sticks
Fast.

Some excitement was caused among
residents and pedestrians in lower Sus-
sex street yesterday by the sight of
man ON the roof of the late Governor
Abbett's homestead in Sussex place, fran
tically tugging at rope as though try
ing to pull up weight from the interior
of a chimney and yelling in German like
a madman. One end was tied around his
waist.
The man was Frank Bruder, who
keeps a delicatessen store in Washington
street, between Morris and Sussex
streets. At the other end of the rope
was Mr.. Bruder's brother, Paul, who
arrived in this country from Germany
about month ago.
Mr.. Bruden, the merchant, recently
purchased the old Albeit homestead.
He let it out to tenants. The tenants
complained of the chimney and declared
that it was choked up with something
else besides SCOT. Paul volunteered to
descend the chimney provided his brother
lowered him down with a rope. This
was agreed upon. The building is a three
story and basement structure. Paul had
descended about two stories, the chimney
narrowing the further down he reached.
He became wedged and yelled to his
brother to pull him up. His yells could
not be heard from the street, and even
his brother Frank at the other end of
hear him, but as he tugged at the rope
and found he could not bulge his brother
he grew excited and yelled for help to
those below in the street
Excited pedestrians rushed for the
doorbell and notified the inmates that
crazy man was on the roof trying to drag
something up from the chimney. Mr..
Bruder was given assistance when he
excitedly explained matters, and Paul, his
brother was soon hoisted from his per-
ilous position. The curious crowd watch
ing in the street below realized what
had happened when they saw man
covered with SCOT emerge from the Chin
ney top.
