theI IFiremen Arrived.

A barn in the yard Of Paul Elmer,
at IS Elizabeth street, was burned to
the ground last night about / ! o'clock.
The only horse in the barn was burned
to death. The blaze was of mysterious
origin and had gained such headway
before it was discovered thai no effort
could be made to get the imprisoned
animal out or to save the barn.
The flames were discovered by peo-
pie living across the street. They
notified Mr.. Elmer. who was sitting
on the front porch Of his saloon.
BY that time the whole first story of
the barn was in flames.
An alarm was sent in from box So,
at Hall avenu and Charles street, BY
Frank Barca.

according to Chief Glenn's recent
order. Protection Hook and Ladder

DOG RAN WILD;
CAUSED SCARE.
Household Of Mrs. |. R. Green|ey
Considerably Alarmed Yester-
day by CANNES Actions.

"a small valuable pet dog belonging
to Mrs. II. T. Greenley, of 9S High
street, becam e suddenly i'll yesterday
afternoon. 1t was on a second-story
balcony at the rear of the house, when
it began to act queerly, running about
and emitting peculiar cries. 1t was
supposed that the dog had become
mad, and occupants of that and ad.
joining houses, hearing the dogs
yelping, ran out in the yards. A me-
chanic, who was at work on the
house also took notice.
! After running about the small bal
cony for several minutes, with its
mistress and domestic calling to it
and trying to get its attention, the
'frenized canine mounted the railing
about the balcony.
Poising for a second, the dog leaped
to the ground, 1t jumped SO quickly
that those below had not time to move.
AS it neared the earth the dog passed
within an eighth OF an inch Of DOM
estics Uranium. This scared the girl
and she gave voice to shrek which
was formidable rival to the noise of
the siren whistle at the Raritan Cop
per Works. Running for the house
she tripped on the porch steps where
she lay, too scared to move, letting
out, at frequent intervals, some more
terrified notes in high G, picture of
absolute terror.
Meanwhile the other people had
sought the safety of their domiciles,
while.the poor dog was running aim
lessly about the yard, 1t appeared to
have temporarily lost It's sight, for it
collided with things about the yard
with greater frequency than the sub
way cars.
Veterinary surgeon j. c. Singer
was summoned, and the canine pet
finally, wearied by its exertions, was
quieted. 1t is supposed to have tenn
porarily lost its reason because OF the
heat.
