of William c. Hall, of New York, VIII,
has a summer residence at 79 Wate
street, this city, and Miss Florenc,
Frances Teall, of Rochester, n. Y.
Less than a month before this wed
ding Mr.. Hall figured as the fiance o.
Miss Lily F. Wilson, daughter of Mrs
George Grant Wilson, of Kentucky
On June / somebody sent out note
on Mr.. Halls stationery declarina
that he and Miss Wilson had broken
their engagement by mutual consent
Mr.. Hall declared this untrue and
stamped the note as the work of some
person who maliciously wished tc
prevent the wedding.
Nothing was heard of the real
break that must have occurred later
In their engagement.
Mr.. Hall is former Yale man. His
father is also an old Yale man and a
member of several good clubs. His
mother was De Marigny, of New
Orleans. He is thus descended from
the Marquis de Vallambrosa. His faith
er has for long time been vice
president and genaral manager of the
Perth Amboy Terra Gotta Company
Miss Wilson, the fiance of last
June, was a newcomer in New York
society. She and her mother, who
was related to the best families in
Kentucky, soon became popular in
New York. They met Mr.. Ha
abroad. Miss Wilson is said to be
still in Paris. The wedding was to
have been some time last October
and it was supposed that she was in
Paris ordering her trousseau.
Miss Teall, whom Mr.. Hall mar
ried, is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Isaac Teall, well known in Rochester.

sonage, Jersey City, according TO mar
riage certificate with Miss Teall's s

jury to Mr.. Halls knee, necessitating
long confinement in the hospital, the
marriage took place in July. Miss
Teall's parents knew of their engage
ment but did not learn of the mar
rlage till after it was performed. The
Tealls are very well to do and move
in the best society.

TERRA COT Ia WORKERS
PLAN FOR. A BIG UNION
Mass Meeting To
Be Held Next
Saturday.
TO FIGHT TRUST

The Terra Gotta Workers Union
held one of the most important meet
ings that it has held in years last
night at Union Hail. The subject of
the terra Gotta combine was thorough
ly discussed and the only thing that
seemed possible now to do to main
tain the same basis for terra Gotta
workers, would be to make one large
union of all terra Gotta workers, from
the laborers up.
For this purpose mass meeting
will be held next Saturday night in
Washington Hall, if that hall is pro-
curable on that date.
Terra Gotta workers of all posi-
tions, union and non-union men, will
be invited to attend this meeting and
an effort will be made to enroll all
men employed in the plants in one
large union.
The reason for doing this, a terra
Gotta worker said this morning, is
to try to strengthen the union of the
employees in proportion to the aug
mented strength of the plants in the
combine which has just gone into ef-
feet.
The present union membership is
composed of only few divisions Of
the terra Gotta workers, the pressers,
finishers, and so forth.

% PERISH IN WRECK
ON THE big FOUR"
Flames DeVour
Cars In Indiana
Collision.
HEAD-ON CRASH

FOWLER, Ind, Jan. 19:--Twen-
ty-five persons were killed here today
in the wreck of the Queen City Spec
ial of the Big Four.
The special, consisting of a day
coach, three sleepers and the private
car of Vice President Schoff, collided
head-on with west-bound freight
train
The day coach caught fire and all
the passengers within were burned
to death.
Many of the injured passengers
were taken to Kankakee inVice-Presi-
dent Schoff's private car. which did
not leave the rails in the collision.
Only one body mas yet been re-
covered, that of a fireman. as the
destruction of the coaches made it
difficult to do much in the way of res
cue work
The first car behind the baggage
car was combination coach, and this
was smashed into small bits, the ten
der of the passenger engine being
driven through its entire length. Paul
d. Harris, Chicago attorney, who,
covered with blood and bruises,
emerged from the car, said that there
were from twelve to twenty-five 9TH
er passengers inside and he believed
they had all been killed.
The shrieks and groans of the un-
fortunates pinned in the wreck were
heartrending, and the trainmen and
passengers lost no time in rushing to
their aid.
Schoff, of the road, which was at
the rear end of the train, was not
damaged, and as soon as the injured
were dug out they were put on board
the car and taken to Fowler, where
they received medical attention. All
the other cars, including the two
sleepers, were burned to their trucks.
None of the passengers in the sleep
ers were hurt.
The collision was a head-on crash,
both engines being torn to pieces. So
complete was their destruction that
only one member of the engine crews
has been found, and he has not been
identified. The others are undoubt-
edly buried beneath the wrecked
locomotives.
Fowler is twenty-eight miles west
of Lafayette and is a small town.
All the available physicians in the
vicinity were summoned to the scene
and -wrecking engines were also
wired for.

FIRE DAMyGES
REACH $4,000
Blaze at Maurer Brick Plant De.
strOyed Interior of Large
Building and Material.
SOME CARS WERE ALSO BURNED
Large Quantity of Material Burned
and Two Wooden Chimneys De-
stroyed-Superintendent Pfeiffer
Loud in Praise of Prompt Arrival
of the Firemen from Perth AmbOy.
More Damage Than Supposed.

Superintendent John Pfeiffer, of
the Henry Maurer & Sons brick fac
tory, said this morning that the
total damage done by yesterdays fire
would, in all probability, exceed
$4,000. Yesterday afternoon Mr..
Pfeiffer roughly estimated the dam
age at $1,000, but an investigation
today showed that all the raw mater
ial in the building had been totally
destroyed, together with the drying
apparatus, and numerous cars used
in transporting the newly made brick
into the building. The interior of the
drier, which is brick building 150x
so feet, is also badly damaged. Two
large wooden chimneys on the south
end end of the building were also
burned and, as near as can be learn
ed, the fire started Immediately un-
der them.
Superintendent Pfeiffer said just
how the fire started he has been un-
able to learn but that one of the
workmen discovered the blaze at
about LIS O'Clock yesterday after
noon. Mr. Pfeiffer telephoned to the
police station at once and an alarm
was turned in from box 81, at Smith
and State streets. The alarm failed
to ring properly but in short time,
Mcclellan Engine Company, Lincoln
Engine Company and Protection Hook
and Ladder Company were on their
way to Maurer, and, in spite of the
heavy roads, were soon at the factory.
The fire department at the plant by
that time had succeeded in playing
six streams of salt water on the build
ing and in less than an hour had the
fire under control. The firemen were
ready to assist If necessary and, al.
ter seeing that the employees OF the
factory were masters of the blaze.
Chief Baker ordered the companies
home.
Mr.. Pfeiffer is loud in his praise
of the city companies and says the
factory greatly appreciates their
prompt arrivel.
Although the drier is ruined. 9th
er departments are being used al
the factory today and the work is
delayed but little. The burned build
ing will be repaired at once.

operation every Sunday. A number
of people are investigating the report,
and should the factory be run on Sun

that the working hours in the factory
be restricted TO week days. 1t is
known that the new concern wished
to have the Citizens Electric Light,

Citizens plant is in operation only
on week days, the Public Service was
asked to supply the required power.
