Afternoon.

What might have been a serious
fire, about o'clock yesterday after
noon at the house of Protection ii. &

city stables, who, with garden hose,
worked hard and soon had the fire
under control, but not until 1t had
burned the rear door and the side of
the house considerably. If 1t had
been five minutes longer, the place
would have been a mass of flames.
No alarm was sent in. 1t is sup
posed that spark from the roller,
which had come in the yard but a

Alleged Murderer, Of Kate Gordon
at BOnhamtown in April, Arrested
IN New Brunswick Last Night.
PRACTICALLY ADMITS CRIME.
Hungarian Special Officer Who Has
Been Following Him Awaited Ar
rival in Somerset St. Saloon.

murderer arrived the night after the
crime had been committed. There he
sold his working clothes for seventy.
five ments and borrowed some mon
ey. He then went to Hazleton and
Berwick, Pa, where he borrowed $5.
After that he rode on freight trains
from place to place, finally arriving
at Cleveland. Ohio
1t was while following out his clue
at Youngstown, Ohio, that Lengel
was arrested and spent little time
behind the bars. He was taken into
custody by James Hughes, an anna
teur detective, who was looking for
the $500 reward. Lengel treats this
experience as big joke.
The reward is for the arrest and
conviction of the murderer within
three months of the date of the
crime. There is every indication that
the authorities will push the case as
they desire to make an example of
the fellow and try to redeem the coun-
ty from the reputation it has won.
Joseph Lengel, the special Hungar-
ian officer who caught Lang, was in
this city some time ago on the case
and his efforts to trace the murderer
were known to the chief of police of
Cleveland, Ohio, with whom Chief
Burke was in communication about
the time that Lang had been to Cleve-
land and also Sharon, Pa. 1t is
Chief Burke's theory that Lang re-
, turned to New Brunswick with the
Idea of surrendering.

Sends a Challenge to Senator
Dryden to Meet Him on the
Platform Before People.
COUNTY.

f JERSEY CITY, June 7.-Corpora-
ton Counsel George l.. Record, of
this city, and republican candidate
for United States senator, has sent
the following communication to Unit
ed States senator John f. Dryden,
who desires reelection:
II have read with interest and
pleasure the announcement of your
candidacy for reelection as United
States senator, made by Colonel Ku-
ser. Coming from this source, of
course the announcement must be
taken as authoritative. | congratu-
late you upon your determination to
make a canvass before the people In
advance of the primaries. BY so do
ing, I think, you have rendered no
table service to clean politics and to
representative government. This ac-
tion on your part, in my judgment,
marks the end in New Jersey OF the
game of gum shoe politics.
Taking it for granted, as | do,
that your desire to reach the people
is sincere, assume that you will be
glad to adopt the most enectlVe ana
convenient means for that purpose.
This means is unquestionably series
of Joint debates. There is no more
effective way to reach and inform the
public than by joint debate between
competing candidates. BY this means
larger audience is gathered togeth-
er at each meeting than can be Sc
cured in any other way.
1.-The joint debate contributes to
temperatures of expression, to ac-
curacy of statement, and affords OPP
portunity for immediate correction
of any false or misleading statements
which may be unintentionally put
forth by either party. The Lincoln
Douglas debates are a sufficient pre-
cedent for us as republicans. l.,
therefore, request that you join me In
series of joint debates upon our re-
spective candidates. for nomination
to the Office which you hold, to be
held prior to the primaries on Sep
tember 25, and in number to be al
least one meeting in the county seat
of each county and as many more as
you may desire"

in Packing Houses--Ac-
cOrding to Trust.

WASHINGTON, June T. At the
meat inspection hearing DIR. Melvin,
chief of the bureau of animal industry,
was asked a number of questions con-
cerning antemortem examinations OF
cattle bought by packing houses. He
explained that these examinations
were all conducted in the stockyards.
He was asked IL he believed any dis
eased meat was put on the market In
any form, but he would not express an
opinion He explained In detail the
disposition of diseased cattle through
the stock exchange, but said no such
precautions were taken concerning 9TH
er animals.
T. e. Wilson, Chicago packer, took
up the Neill- Reynolds report, COMMENT
ing on many of the criticisms. Con-
cerning the condition of the animal
pens he said that floors were properly
drained to permit of flushing as often
as needed, and he asserted that was
done. The Neill-Reynolds report spoke
Of ten dead hogs being found In one
place and fifteen or twenty in anothers
Mr.. Wilson said some mornings fr0nl
$4,000 to 10000 hogs are received and
that frequently dead ones are found
in the cars. He did not think there
was anything "revolting" about that.
In regard to the interior of the work
rooms, Mr.. Wilson said that any person
would be pleased with their cleaniy
appearance before the days killing and
dressing is begun and that persons not
used to packing houses might be dis
/ gusted with the condition of the same
room several hours later. He contends
ed, however, that there were no un-
wholesome conditions there. Every
day, he said, all rooms. tables. trucks
and utensils of all kinds are washed as
clean as water and scrubbing brush
can make them.
The only dyes used were those to coli
or the casing Of the sausage and not
for meats. Il
AS to the character of the employeesg
Mr.. Wilson denied that they were the
refuse of humanity or that the recent
strike had made any change Ninety
