tor, Dr.. William Ramsay, made the

HISTORIC HOUSE AGAIN
THREATENED BY FLAMES
Chimney Fire at Smith Homestead
Called Out the Firemen This
Morning.

A chimney fire at the old Smith
homestead at Market street and City
Hall park, occupied by the families
of A. B. Marsh and W. 3. Jandon
caused the fire alarm to be sounded
at 1880 O'Clock this morning The fire
was soon extinguished and the fire
men departed.
Hardly had they left when a blaze
was discovered on the roof of the
small frame building on the same
property about seyenty-fve feet south
of the house. 1t had become fgnited
from sparks from the chimney of the
mouse.
The firemen were sent for again,
and, in the interim, a few firemen and
other men raised ladder up the side
of the building.
Firemen Called Back.
The Lincoln Engine Company com
bination wagon soon arrived in
charge of a few members of the COM
pany. The hose was connected with
the hydrant in front of city hall and
the wagon was driven Numerically
across the park and the stream was
put on the roof, very few minutes
work sufficing TO make all danger a
past certainty. The Protection Hook
and Ladder truck had also come up
on the scene a second time. The fire
men had been re-summoned to the
second fire by Constable John c.
Brown, who drove to the fire house
from city hall and had the misfortune
to have his horse run away after the
obliging officer OF the law had noti-
fed the firemen.
The damage TO the roof of the lit
lie one-story building, which has in
its day served for custom house Office,
9choolroom and other purposes. was
slight.
First Fire in Chimney.
The original fire in the historic
house on the corner was in the Chin
ney. The alarm was sounded from
box No. 35 at High and Smith streets
and Washington Hose and Chemical
the Lincolns and the Hooks
0lOAuCu IA FpOu vi utls tlt iOSt
connected with the apparatus was run
in through the house.
The out-taps had not yet been
sounded when the second fire broke
out, and were not sounded until $3.50
O clock.
When the alarm was sounded at
1880 o'clock the strokes could not be
counted distinctly in all parts of the
city and in the northern part of the
city it sounded, at first, like one of
the alarms in the fifties, which are
located in that section of town; and
some of the Mcclellan boys left their
house with The wagon, finding out
shortly after what alarm had been
sounded and returning to their house.

ARE SKATING
FOR THE FIRST
Cold Snap Brings the First Ice
that Is Thick Enough to Bear
Coal Dealers Happy.

For the first time this winter Rar-
| itan Lake was covered with ice thick
enough for skating yesterday after
noon and the Public Service trolley
! cars had signs announcing the fact.
AS soon as the fact became known
crowds of skaters hunted up the
skates, which they had put away last
season, and in short order the Slip
perry surface was crowded.
I Coldest Day Yet.
1t is said that yesterday was the
coolest day this winter thus far. AT
o'clock yesterday morning at the
Packer House the thermometer was
Just at below zero. while in New
Brunswick avenue, where the wind
could get in a clean sweep, it was
said to be 8 below. In the afternoon
it moderated a little and a O'Clock
it was about 4 above.
The cold wave made the local coal
dealers happy. In conversation with
a NEWS man q number Of them said
that they had never been so busy this
winter as they were yesterday ana
that the rush during the mOrning
hours was so great that some of the
dealers were compelled to hire extra
workmen and teams so as to deliver
the coal on time.
Had Big Supply.
During the early winter when the
weather was moderate the local coal
dealers stocked the yards up and for
a time they thought that they would
keep tons OF coal over the season, but
now they think differently and de-
clare that a few more days like yes
terday and they will have TO lay in
another stock of coal
Ice Men Happy, Too.
The coal dealers are not the only
happy people in town either, for deal
ers in ice We're thinking up until the
last few days what a hard time they
would have of it in getting enough
ice to supply the local consumers.
Only a few dealers in this city have
any ice left at the present time and
if the cold wave had not struck here
some one would have had to pay the
piper about next July.
Soon Cut Ice Now.
In talking about the matter 10 q
/ NEWS reporter, yesterday afternoon,
one of the largest local ice dealers
said that this time last year the ice
supply was so good that he had been
able to fill his ice house more than
three-Guarters full. bur that so far
this winter he had not put in bit OF
ice and was using his supply from last
winter The present supply was
nearly run our he said, but that if the
cold snap would only keep mp few
DAYS more. things would be il fine
shaep and he would be able to fill his
house.
People living near the Central rail-
road drawbridge we're greatly sur
prised when they woke up yesterday
morning to see the river frozen over

AT the meeting Of the Board Of
Education next Tuesday night, the
board will, it is almost certain, au-

of Thomas Lingle, in King street, ad-
joining the yard or public school No
l on the south. A contract has been
drawn up in readiness for this trans
fer.
The land is wanted for light and
air space for the rooms in the six
room addition to school No. /, which
reaches back to King street. Should
the property be sold to someone else
and a building erected, the school
rooms in the annex could not receive
sufficient light and air. In addition
it can be used as a playground, as the
children now gather on the street, the

Three more teachers have been en-
gagd 10 teach classes in the annex
and all the rooms are occupied The

Money for this purchase, wholly or
in part, may be taken from the 81

the sinking fund which was authoriz-
ed by the Board of Aldermen at Mon
day nights meeting. Some of this
money may also be used for the pur-
chase of the property of Sander Kish
on Cortlandt street on the north of
school No. 3, for the eight-room addi-
ton to that building. The option for
these lots was offered to the board for
$4,000 and the board is understood
to have an offer of about $4,000 for
the house now thereon.
Plans and specifications are to be
received for this addition al next

WATER BOARD CONFERS
ABOUT THE TRESTLE.
Met Madison Township Committee
at Runyon Yesterday and Agree
ment Is Expected Soon.

The Board of Water Commission
ers, as told in the NEWS, went to
Runyon yesterday afternoon, where
they met the members of Madison
township and discussed the matter of
crossing a certain road in the town
ship, with the new railroad trestle
which the commissioners want to
build from the railroad to the water
works, and it is expected that some
sort of an agreement between the
township committee and the water
board will be reached before long.
Trestle Is Necessary.
Some time ago the water board
decided to build the trestle so as
TO get the coal to the pumping sta
ton. They found that it would be
necessary to cross an old post road
in Madison township to reach the de-
sired point. For a long time the
township committee refused to have
anything to do with the board in re-
gard to this matter, but a meeting
was finally arranged for yesterday af-
ternoon.
The commissioners left here on the
1:25 o'clock train and drove from
South Amboy to Runyon, where the
township committee was awaiting
them The matter was talked over at
some length. After discussing the
subject the water board and the COM
mitteemen went over the proposed
route of the trestle.
In conversation with a NEWS man
this morning one of the commission
ers said that while they had not
reached any agreement with the
township committee they expected
that things would now go along
smoothly and that they would be able
to get down to some facts.
