FIRE STARTED IN A
MYSTERIOUS WAY.
Blaze Discovered in Attic of Un-
occupied House on New
Brunswick Avenue.

Fire was discovered in the attic
of new house owned by Thomas Coli
fer, at New Brunswick avenue and
Oak street, about o'clock last night.
Charles Johnson, who lives in the
adjoining house, noticed light in
the garret of the as yet unoccupied
dwelling, and at once turned in an
alarm from box 63, New Brunswick
avenue and Elm street.
Lincoln Engine Company, Eagle
Chemical Company and Protection
Hook and Ladder Company were
quickly on the scene and had several
lines of hose in the building. The
Lincoln's steamer was on hand, but
was only used few minutes. Dur
ing the pumping of the steamer one
line of hose burst and caused a del
uge of water to fall on bystanders.
According to all reports the last
man on the new building yesterday
was plumber. and, it is thought,
THAT spark from his repair can may
, have set fire to the pile of charcoal
which was found burning in the at
tic by the firemen. The damage was
slight, but the alarm drew an i'm
paense crowd. d,5

.HOVAN|Ez DIES FROM
FOUL STAB WOUNDS.

Joseph Hovaniez, who was stabbed
in the back by an unknown assail-
ant in front of Albert Balabas' sa-
loon, at 81 Charles street, Sunday
night, December 2, died from the eff
fects of his injuries at the city hos
pital last night.
The police at the time made every
effort to capture the alleged stabber,
but were unsuccessful, but they are
now working on clue that may lead
to the arrest of the murderer, war
rant for whom has been issued in the
name of "John Doe"
After the stabbing had occurred,
Hovaniez said ASK the saloonkeep-
er, he knows the fellows name"
Balabas was questioned but denied
knowing anything about the case
Through a clue the police learned
later that man and his son left this
city the following day in a mysteri-
GUS manner, not even taking their
wages due them ,at the factories
Perth Amboy evening news., 1906-12-15

where they were employed. As yet
the pair have not been located, and
it is thought that they may be i'm
plicated in the case, although the ev-
idence is only circumstantial.
At first the condition of Hovaniez
was not regarded as serious and he
was attended at his home. Last
week, however, he became worse and
was removed to the hospital, where
he died at 4:30 o'clock yesterday af-
ternon from pleural pneumonia,
caused by the wounds.
Chief Burke notified Prosecutor
Berdine of Hoveniez's death, and
death, and an autopsy was performed
on the body today by County Physi-
clan ]. L. Suydam.
The report of County Physician
Suydam in regard to the autopsy
made on the body of Hovaniez was
that his death resulted from pneu-
monia caused by rear puncture of
the left lung.

ward, said that he would like to see
the new ferry landing at the foot of
Washington street if possible, but
the reasons urged in favor of Fay
ette street were so strong that he
finally agreed to that location. AL
derman Smith was the only member
not present. No one was present to
represent the Staten Island RailroaS
Company, which had been oppSsing
the new company ever since it pre-
sented it's petition for thirty-fiye
year lease, and not to be compelled
to begin operations for three years.
Can't Sell Without City's Consent.
One clause of the lease will for
bid the company from selling out
without first obtaining consent from
the city council. That the company
might sell out was warmly denied at
the public hearing Friday night OF
last week when Mr.. Silzer said that
they would agree to a prohibitive
clause in the lease.
|. Little Grade on Fayette Street.
One of the principal reasons for
the choice of Fayette street at the al
dermanic session last night was that
there is very little slope from the
water front west, while there is a
considerable grade at the lower end
Of Washington street, which was pre-
ferred at the public hearing by many
residents of North Amboy.
The city fathers were in session uI-
til nearly midnight.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1906-12-15

The Board of Aldermen decided,
at their regular committee meeting
last night, to grant the Perth AM
boy and Staten Island Ferry Com
pany lease of the foot of Fayette
street for period of twenty-five
years.
Every detail was decided upon last
night except the amount which the
company is to pay. That will be set
tied at the regular meeting of the
Board of Aldermen Monday night
next and motion passed to grant the
lease
According to the agreement reach
ed last night between the aldermen
and George S. Silzer, counsel for the
new company, the company must
commence within two years.
Amount Still i'm Doubt.
Mr.. Silzer stated that the COM
pany would agree to pay an amount
equal to that paid the city by the
Staten Island Rapid Transit Com
pany, which would be 500 yearly for
the first ten years, and 5000 per an
mum for the following fifteen years.
That is the lowest basis upon which
the council will grant it, but the
members were not entirely agreed
on that point.
All the aldermen present agreed
to the terms of the lease except the
money consideration.
