A HARD FIRE TO FIGHT.
The Crane Building on speedweI. Ave-
nue. Badly Damaged.

nue. Badly Damaged
About two o'clock on Monday morn
ing FIRE was again discovered in the
Crane building, on Speedwell avenue
located above the culyert under the
street. The place was hard PROPOSE
tion for the fremen to work at because
the back Of the structure is almost
built on air there is no backyard ow-
ing to the conformation of the ground.
In this instance the fire was in the
rear, in the story below the street lev
ell The firemen were kept busily em-
ployed,for two hours, saving the build
ING from the total destruction which
seemed crtain by the blaze. The oc-
cupants of the living rooms on the sec
ond story escaped without saving any
of their effects.
An examination Of the building on
Tuesday showed that the frame was
uninjured, a portion of the first story
floor was burned out, cellar PARTITION
destroyed and the roof burned. 9th
erwise some weatherboards and new
glass will restore the building to its
former condition. B. J Crane thinks
that the repairs can be made for less
than $1,000.
The four stores on the ground floor
were occupied by M. Jaspar, confec-
tionery and fruits; j. COrratto, shoe
maker; Salvador Corrao, barber, who
also had small grocery store adjoin-
ing the barber shop. Jaspar claims a
loss OF S4, 900, insured for $4,000, and Of
course his stock of fruits and candy
was spoiled. The barber shop had the
worst of the fire, and the chairs, cup
rack, etc, are a total loss. Everything
infiammable in the grocery also burned,
but the shoemaker apparently got OIL
easy.
On the second story there were
four families A. Osse, M. Jaspar, S,
Corrao and the latter's parents. The
loss on the furniture, etc, will be al
most total. The tenants manage to
figure up a loss of about $4,000, but
that sum would appear to be excessive.
Mr.. Crane has substantially acknowl-
edged the services Of the firemen by
sending a check for 800 to the Fire
mems Benevolent Fund.

Trains to New York.
The Railway Valley Railroad opened
its line from Aldene To Summit last
Monday, and trains are now running on
a regular schedule, nine trains running
each way on week days and four trains
each way on Sundays. The road has
been equipped with Two new coaches,

A new locomotive has also been placed
on the line. The station Of the road
at Summit is within 800 yards OF the
D., al. w. Railroad station.
The schedule which went into effect
Monday is temporary one, it being
proposed to have all trains connect
with the Lehigh Valley Railroad at
Roselle Park. At present the trains
to Summit connect with all the local
trains going east and west on the Cen
tral Railroad at Aldene. The first
days business was very gratifying to
the officers Of the Railway Valley, over
one hundred passengers being carried

The L.auter Piano

The interesting things about our
factory for most people are the exces-
sive pains and care that are taken in
every item of manufacture. Time and
again we have had piano experts, many
Of them noted makers themselves, de-
clare after an inspection Of our plant
that never before had they seen such
unusual precautions against doubtful
work, against the barest possibility of
mistake or error.
Every department. of our factory
is open to every visitor who may care
to enter. We make no secret Of our
methods for the reason that we have
nothing to hide, but have everything
to gain BY publicity. A well-known
piano maker visited us during the past
week. Like many Others before him,
he paid great attention to the details
Of our various departments. He said
afterwards that he was amazed to OBJ
serve the extremes to which we went
to secure the finest possible results; he
intimated that in all his experience he
had never seen such care, such thor
oughness before.

Saturday by defeating Morristown in
a one-sided game by score of to 2.
1t was Ernest Lindeman's first appear
ance on the Mofristown grounds this
season, and he had the Morristown
team at his mercy in every inning ex-
cept the fifth, when three singles, a

home team was greatly handicapped
by the loss Of Clinton, who left Morris
town to join the Red Bank team.
Schuman, a left-hander, started in to
do the pitching, and it took the hill
topperS only two and one-third innings
to drive him out of the box. Griffin
then took his place, but it took him
an inning and a half to get into work
ing order, and after that he allowed
only Two hits. Score:

KINGSTON, Jamaica, Dec 1.-THE

Prinzessin Victoria Louise. from New
ashore last night on the rocks off Port
Royal while on her way back to New
York. The passengers were landed
here today.
Captain Bruinswig. who was in
charge of the Victoria Louise when she
struck. committed suicide by blowing
>eut his brains with pistol
The German cruiser Bremen has gone
to the assistance of the stranded
steamer. and the French training ship
Duguay- -Trouin is preparing to leave
port with the same object in view.
The Victoria Louise is pounding
heavily and the seas are breaking over
her. but the hope is entertained that
she will be saved She is resting on a
rocky ledge.
In accounting for the stranding of
the steamer it is explained that she
was without a pilot and the captain
was in charge He followed wrong
course and the vessel struck the rocks
just under the lighthouse The officers
of the ship and the German Consul
here made an Intellectual effort TO sup
press the news of the tragedy.
When the Victoria Louise ran on the
rocks the sea was calm, the present
heavy weather coming up later. The
passengers were panic-stricken until il
was learned that there was no inme-
diate danger The officers succeeded in
restoring order and the transfer of
the passengers to Kingston was ef-
fected without accident.

Lean as a Shyloek In his
hunger for gold. Abe Ruef,
CRATER, owner of the mental
and moral being of Mayor
Eugene Z. Schmitz, stands
today at the bar of public
opinion condemned Of the
lowest. cruelest crime that
has marked his degenerate
career-the crime OF at
tempting to wax richer from
the woes OF labor.
He stands condemned of
the crime of attempting to
precipitate industrial strife,
to rouse employe against en-
ployer, that out OF the
heartaches, the misery, the
suffering, the poverty that
would wait on his detestable
outrage he might, aided by
his official thugs, drive down
the value of the city's bonds,
purchase them at depre-
ciated prices and then sit
and chuckle, knowing of the
profits that would be his
when industrial peace
Should prevail again.
It was Ruef's plan to
shatter the confidence of the
financial world In San Fran
cisco by burdening this, the
city Of his birth, with
another streetcar strike-to
use conhding labor that
placed him in power to
achieve his dastardly ends
To his distorted vision there
never arose the picture OF
men weary and worn and
stripped of their all IN the
strife; he was blind TO the
picture of the faithful wife,
aHrighted at the future; his
ear heard no cry Of the hun
cry child; the rumble of riot
did not reach him; he could
see no cofins bearing the
dead of conflict; he could see
but gold-yellow gold-that
buys wines and makes the
music ring in the tenderloin,
that pays for trips to Europe
and buys green automobiles
Unspeakable in its saw
agery and in the depths OF
It's lowness IS this the latest
crime laid at the door OF
Abraham Ruef, and laid at
his door in his presence by
Rudolph Spreckels, a sworn
witness in a court Of justice.
Para1yzing in the force or its
utterance and the sudden
ness OF its delivery, this
charge swept the blood from
the cheeks of Ruef. He sat
with ashen face revealed in
the fu1lness of his infamy,
no meaner CRATER cumber-
ing the earth.
