DEEPEN DECLINES BANQUET.
The Usual Birthday Celebration at the
Nontauk Club Not 10 Take Place.

The Usual Birthday Celebration at the
Nontauk Club Not 10 Take Place
Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew has put a
veto on the celebration Of his birthday on
April 20 by the Montauk Clu of Brooklyn,
1t is fourteen years ago since the Montauk
Club started the Depew birthday banquets,
and they have since been the most popular
functions Of the leading Park Slope social
organization. 1t was expected after the
insurance revelations that the celebration
would be discontinued this year, and the
announcement yesterday OF its formal
calling off by the Senator caused little
surprise.
A few weeks ago the usual invitation to
partake again Of the hospitality OF the club
was extended to Mr.. Depew by Timothy l..
Woodruff, the president. Recently Mr.
| Woodruff received a reply from the Senator,
in which he refers to his i~ndisposltion, and
adds:
have delayed answering your letter.
| hoping this would pass away, SO that your
dinner would be one OF the old kind and l
equal to its requirements, its hilarity and its
| spirit. Unhappily l am afraid that for the
first time in fifteen years the Montauk din
ner is to be omitted. OF all the disagree
able tn gs that have come to me. the first
time that | have been sick in many years.
this loss grieves me the most. With kindest
regards TO the Montauks and NY love to you.
faithfully yours. CHArNcEY NJ. DKpRw,

RIG BLAZE IN JERSEY CITY.
Gautier Co. Factory Burned Automatic
SprinkIers I'm Refinery Started.

A fire which started in the three story
brick factory Of the j. H. Gautier Company,
makers Of fire brick and lubricants, at
Greene and Essex streets, Jersey City last
night, destroyed the building and threatened
the works of the American Sugar Refining
Company near by. For a time it looked
as though the fire would spread to all the
buildings Of the neighborhood, and 100
horses in the stables of the Uvalde Truck
ing Company, on the west side Of Greene
street were turned loose and added to the
confusion.
The fire started among the sheds in a yard
between the Gautier and American Sugar
companies' works. Chemicals of all sorts
used by the Gautier company were stored
in the yard and caused the fire to spread
rapidly.
The heat boeame 30 great that the auto
matte sprinklors in the sugar refining plant
went into action and wet down the walls.
The work Of the sprinklers, aided by a
volunteer hose company organized among
the woEkmen in the sugar plant, kept the
FIRE from gaining on that side, and the blaze
was confined to the yard and the Gautier
building. The building made h big blaze
and attracted a crowd Of people, who
gathered on the bank of the Morris Canal to
watch the spectacle.
The fire was still burning at a late hour
No estimate Of the damage was given.

YOUNG ZELAYA MARRIED.
Son OF the President OF Nicaragua Said TO
Have Obtained Parental Consent.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-The romance of
Alfonso Zelaya, son of the President of
Nicaragua, and Miss M~argherita Baker of
this city eliminated here to-day in the
marriage Of the young couple at the home
of the bride, 1s4l North Capitol street.
Young zelaya, having attained his majority,
returned to Washington several days ago
and yesterday obtained a license to marry
Miss Baker. 1t was the intention of the
couple to have the nuptial knot tied next
Monday, but the father Of the bride insisted
that as they had already gained much
notoriety the ceremony should be performed
at once.
The Rev. |. O. Baker, pastor Of the Evan
gelical Lutheran Church, oficiated. Only
near relatives and a few intimate friends
Of the contracting parties were present.
1t is the intention Of Mr.. and Mrs. Zelaya
to remain in Washington until Tuesday,
when they will 90 to New York. and from
there will sail for Nicaragua, where they
will make their future home. 1t is said
that the young man has obtained parental
forgiveness and that a welcome awaits
the bride at the Nioaraguan capital.
Much attention was directed toward the
couple several months ago by reason Of a
story that young Zelaya, whose ma rriage
was opposed by the Nicaraguan legation
in this city, acting upon instructions from
his father, had been kidnapped and spirited
away from Washington by detectives.
After visiting Nicaragua he arrived recently
in New Orleans, where helay i'll in a hospital
for several weeks. Upon his recovery
having in the meantime reached the age OF
21, he returned to Washington to claim the
girl Of his choice.
