HIS WIDOW ON THE STAND


The task of unravelling the much COM
plicated affairs Of the late Lawyer Isaac
Romaine was begun this morning before
Vice-Chancellor Pitney in Chaneery
Chambers.
The case came up in the form OF a
suit begun by Mrs. Anna G. Romaine,
widow of the deceased, for the purpose
Of Strengthening out claims against the
estate amounting in the aggregate to
about $4,000 Some of these claims are
disputed by the late Mr.. Romaine's two
brothers, who are parties to the suit.
Mrs. Romaine appeared in court this
morning. She was in deep mourning.
From the witness chair she answered
all questions promptly and told all she
knew about her husbands affairs. Her
counsel, Mr.. Isaac S. Taylor, confined
most of his uestions to Strengthening out
the claims against and in favor of the
estate. Mrs. Romaine testified that She
was married in January, 1899, at which
time she had balance in the bank in
her own name of $4044. At the time
of her husbands death she held promis-
sorry notes of Mr.. Romaine's. aggregate
ing $500, which represented his indebt-
edness to her. Mr.. aRomaine was left
considerable property by his father, John
r. Romaine, and his mother. This I'M
cludes property on Romaine and Tuers
avenues and Academy street, besides
stocks and bonds. Among the latter are
ten shares of Second National Bank
stock, ten shares of Consolidated Trac-
tion stock and some city bonds. It is
said that Mr.. Romaine was careless
about his business affairs and relied a
great del on his memory.
Among the other matters to be un-
tangled are those in connection with Mr..
Romaine's office as United States Com
missioner.
The assets of the estate consist of real
property estimated to be worth $4,000
and personal property valued at about
ss4. 4.ooo
Lawyer James A. Gordon appeared for
Mr.. Romaine's brothers. 1t is said that
the property owned jointly by the
brothers amounts to about $4,000.

Some Were Helped Out Near
" suffocated- A Run
away Chemical Engine.

A fire which drove half dozen fami-
lies out of their beds and caused a team
Of fire horses to run away, creating no
end of excitement, broke cut shortly after
midnight this morning in the three-story
apartment house at No. 224 Fourth
street.
The FIRE started under sink in the
kitchen Of the apartments of John Rider
on the top floor. The flames spread
quickly and soon the lath work between
the walls took fire. Policeman Cox saw
smoke coming FROM side window of
Riders apartments. He sounded the fire
alarm and rushed up into the house to
arouse the occupants. He broke in the
door leading into Mr.. Riders kitchen.
The Room was enEeloped in smoke and
the corner where the sink is built was
mass of fire.
The noise of breaking open the door
aroused Mr.. Rider and his family and
the people living on the same floor op
posite With the assistance of Police
man Cox and Fire Captain Costigan, of
No. Engine, the first one on the scene,
Mr.. Rider helped his folks and his neigh
bors across the hall through the binding
smoke to the street.
The noise in the house had by this
time aroused people living on the two
floors underneath. and they hustled out
into the street in their night clothes.
Six families living in the apartment
house at No. 76 Erie street, around the
frightd ownt 0 the street, not waiting
TO put on street clothes.
Neighbors who heard the fire engines
putting and steaming got out of bed,
hastily dressed and gave shelter to those
whose homesw ere enveloped in smoke.
The flames creeping in between the
walls of the houses made it difficult for
the fremen to pour on water. They
hadt get on the roof of the Fourth
street house, cut it open and send streams
of water down between the walls.
In thi sway they put the fire out.
Every one of the apartments in the
Fourth street house were destroyed by
water and smoke, while only smoke got
into the Eries street house.
1t was several hours before the fire.
men said that the fire was all out. The
people living in the Erie street house
were allowed to return to their apart
ments.
Thosew no resided at No. 224 Fourth
street win be Obliged to board with their
neighbors for few days and borrow
clothes until they can buy something
new.
The damage amounted to about $4,000,
covered by insurance. Several of the
tiremen had lucky escapes from suffoca-
tion. Thep olice win investigate the or
igin of the fire. When the fremen were
preparing to go home the team of horses
attached to No. 4 Chemical Engine ran
away and caused lot of excitement.
They dashed along at full speed, draw
ing the engine which was driverless, be-
hind. The chemical preparation in the
engine cans was spilled all along the
streets.
The team never stopped running until
they had reached the front door of their
house, about ten blocks away. No one
was injured.

The District Commissioners have TAX
tract for washing for the various mt

against the manner in which 1t was
alleged the work was being done were
duly set forth in last Sundays Times.
T. Hill Marshall manager of the Har-
ward Laundry Company. to which the
contract for District washing was
awarded, has made a statement giving
his side OF the case. Mr.. Marshall
charges that his competitors in the
laundry field are responsible for the
complaints. and says:
We received the contract for the
city laundry i'm a fair contest. and have
discharged our duty under the contract
faithfully. About the 18th of Novem-
Der Commissioner West notified me
to appear at his office. 1 called. and

ton had never been in our laundry or

fact. / further stated to the Commits

ployes of the District We are doing
the District work as we do all other
work-in a first-class manner. and we
invite the public TO call at our works
and see how We serve our patrons"
Mr.. Marshall concludes his state
ments with the assertion that If graft
ing is necessary he prefers to quit the
laundry business.
