GAS PLANT DAMAGED
BY FIRE LAST NIGHT
Loss Will Not Exceed sloo-Cause Of
the Fire Is Mystery--A Still
Alarm Yesterday
Afternoon.

The fire department had warm Job
at the plant Of the Peoples Heating,
Lighting and Power company of Depot
Square last night when the main build
ing was damaged considerably on the
inside by fire, the origin Of which is a
mystery. Box l6 was sounded one min
ute after eleven o'clock, the box being
located at the corner Of Granite and
River streets. The person who rang in
the call has not been located. Whoever
it was rang in double alarm.
The flames apparently started in a
heap of waste on the second floor OF the
building. The waste was dry cotton and
was not saturated with oil There was
a suspicion last night that the first was
of incendiary origin, but there was moth
ing to back up the suspicion. The upper
part of the Granite street end Of the
building was in flames when the fire.
men arrived. Two streams were turned
on, but one was quickly shut off as the
iiremcn gained control in a short time.
The force from the streams was only
fair. The damage is confined to the in
side Of the roof and the second floor Of
the building There is little woodwork
about the building, SO that no extensive
fire could have been started unless the
flames had been communicated to the
gas tank.
The damage viii not exceed $ioo.

BROKERAGE HOUSE
GOES TO THE WALL
M. ]. Sage O. Co. of New York Doing
Business in New England, Closed
Doors Last Night.

New York, Aug. 23.-M, J. Sage &
Co., brokers of Jersey City, and this
city, at the close Of business hours yes
terday posted a notice at their Jersey
City Office, informing their correspon,
dents that they had discontinued bust
ness The firm had branch offices in a
number OF cities in the East and core.
spondents throughout the country.
. II Is stated that the Sage system
consisted Of a string of at least thirty
branch Offices stretching from Maine to
New Orleans, and in some quarters last
night the failure was declared to involve
possibly S2,000,000.
The firm had no branch offices in Man
haitian. The business done in the main
Office when ii was located here was in
the way of receiving orders from the
many out Of town correspondents and
agents. When the main office was locat-
ed in Manhattan thirty telegraph opera.
tors were engaged in caring for the out
Of town business.
Although a great business was done
by this firm it has no stock exchange
membership here
The principal branch offices Of the
firm are located in New England, New
York and Pennsylvania.
Up to the present time the firm has
met all its financial obligations. Dur
ing the time they have been in business
they have encountered severe bull cam
paigns, especially the one during the
latter part OF last year During that
strong bull market the firm lost 81 800.
600 before the tide changed The firms
financial hackers, it is reported, made
good the losses.
IL was not long. however, before the
loss sustained by the firm was recov-
cred. Following the bull market came
sensational cotton market. AT the
outbreak of the activities in the cotton
market the Yage company had one di-
rect wire running from their New York
Offices throughout the southeastern
states, through to New Orleans. There
were 175 branch Offices OF this firm CON
nected with this one southern wire.
Realizing that there was to be much
activity in the cottor market the firm
put in another southern wire, which
extended from New York to New Or
leans through a different route.
During the sensational times in the
cotton market, about the time Of the
panic, the speculation in cotton in the
South was enormous. The Sage system
got great volume Of business through
the southern branches, and as result
Of the campaign the firm came out a
winner to the amount Of $i.000,0O0.
This large sum, together with the on
coming Of a bear campaign in the stock
market, enabled the firm to recover all
its previous losses.

GREAT ROBBERY UNCOVERED.
plan to Rob New York Banks Of 5000,
600.

New York, Aug. 25.AWhat Is said to
have been conspiracy 10 rob a New
York bank Of 100000 or more by the
means Of forgery partially developed
yesterday when two men were arraigned
in the Tombs police court and held in
heavy bail. The prisoners were James
r Murray, about 80 years old, and
young man who said he was Theodore
-. Smith, "a years old, Of this city.
Smiths real name is Schaad, and he was
bailed out by his father Ferdinand
Schaad, 4 retired contractor.
The specific charge against the men
is that they successfully forged $1,000
worth of checks on the Union trust
company of this city. Schaad's bond
was fixed at $4,000 and Murray's at
5000. Murray was unable to get bail
and was sent to the Tombs.
According to Assistant District At
torney Lockwood, SeI,aad was until a
few weeks ago, a clerk employed by
the bank of New York and had charge
of checks sent in from various sources
Some time ago he became acquainted
with clever gang Of crooks who, Mr.,
Lockwood said, got him TO hold mp sew
eral checks drawn on the Union trust
company. It is charged that these
checks We're given to Murray, who trac-
ed the genuine signature on them and
got a man to open an account with
two banking firms where the forged
checks, amounting to $1,000, were then
deposited. Drafts were al once made
on them. The forgeries are said to
be the cleverest perpetrated in New York
in some years.
Assistant Superintendent Norman r.
Bmiey of 4 detective agency told the
magistrate that the arrests came just
as the men had planned to loot the bank
of New York of 100000. He was not
ready to give details.
Sehaad -ss turned states evidence
Mr. Lockwood told the magistrate, and
for this reason his bail was made lighter
than was that fixed for Murray.
