which he afterwards threw on the logs
in the old-fashioned stone fireplace,
where fire was briskly blazing.
The little fellow was so intent on
his work of "redding up" that he did
not notice that a burned shaving he
had dragged from the fire had ignited
one of the piles of rubbish. The dry
wood caught in an instant, and the
fame spread to other collections of
shavings, until the room was in a
blaze. The boy raised a cry and
rushed for the door, which was closed.
The hot flames by this time had
caught larger material and were leap
ing up the walls and eating into the
dry wood of the ceiling. The boy
was too small to reach the heavy latch
of the door, but, with an instinct and
resource extraordinary in one of his
age, he grabbed board from a car
penter table, which he braced against
the wall, and, mounting it, raised the
latch; pulled open the door and es-
capped in the nick of time.
When he got outside the burning
house he grew frightened and ran to
his mother with white face, crying
in a mournful voice: "Oh, mother, Is
burnt up our house"
He had. indeed; and with it the

was taken from the district school and

Vice Chancellor Yesterday Granted Permission to
Commence Action Against the Perth AmbOy
SbipbuiIding and Engineering CompanyfOr
Difference in the Cost of Tugboats
ANOTHER COMPLICATION ADDED TO THE AFFAIRS.

Another complication has developed
in the affairs of the Perth Amboy
Shipbuilding and Engineering Com
pany. Yesterday Vice Chancellor
Stevens, on application of Theodore
B. Booraem, Assistant United States
District Attorney, gave leave to the
United States Government to file a
claim for $84, 600 against the COM
pany, and to make the United States
Fidelity and Guarantee Company, of
Maryland, and William s. Voorhees,,
receiver nf the Perth Amboy com
pany, parties defendant to the suit.
The petition filed by the government
through Mr.. Booraem, sets forth that
the Perth Amboy company entered
into contract January "a, 1903, with
Colonel D. d. Wheeler, assistant
quartermaster of the u. S. Army,
for the construction and equipment of
"WO bbOoA SOAOW ppOtlHOA6J oiIO OhiuON

pany going on the bond for $50, 600.
When the receiver was appointed in
the summer of 1908 to take over the
Perth Amboy company, all work
ceased and the government was forced
to complete the work. Its claims
includes a lien for "a, 800 due for
materials and services, and $34, 300 for
liquidated damages at $50 day for
the 6s6 days delay in the completion
of the vessels.
AS is known, the Ramsays, who
control the company, lay the blame
of their failure on the government
because no payments were made on
the tugboats, as was agreed during
the construction of the vessels.
