IN MEMORY OF
MANCHESTER
MARTYRS
BOer Leader to Speak al
AnniverSary--Ma Mass to Be
Said Saturday.

In honor of three Irish heroes, Allen,
Larkin and O'Brien, who are known
as the Manchester Martyrs and who
gave up their lives on the scaffold No
vember %, 1867. for trying to rescue
from a police van in Manchester, Eng
land, Colonel Thomas Kelly and Cap
tain Timothy Casey, two Irish patriots
who had been arrested, the members
of Division No. z, Ancient Order of Hi
bernians, are arranging a celebration
which will mark the fortieth anniver-
sary of the execution of the three men.
The affair will be held in the hall at
1876 Market street tomorrow night.
A good program is being arranged,
the principal feature of which will be
patriotic speeches. Captain o. ]. Hyn-
don, for whom the British government
offered a reward of $4,000 because he
was engaged in train and bridge
wrecking during the Boer war, will
speak.
Captain Lyndon is American-born,
but spent most of his life in the Trans
vaal. At the outbreak of the war he
enlisted with the Beers and served
with them until the end. He played
SO much havoc with the English army
that the big reward was offered for
him, but he escaped all their efforts.
He is now living in New York.
Richard McGuin, president of the
Passaic County Hibernians, will be the
guest of honor at the monthly meeting.
Morgan Lee. the w~ell-known singer,
will also render some appropriate num-
bers.
The committee that is arranging for
the affair is composed of T. P. Cahill,
whose father was one of the rescuing
party of which Allen, Larkin and
O'Brien were members; P. j. Heating,
secretary; Martin Kilkenny, Edward
Waters, Charles O'Connor and William
Brady, president of Division No. 7.
There is to be no admission charged
for the anniversary exercises. inasmuch
as the organization desires to have as
big a crowd as possible present to do
honor to the three men who. when the
moose was placed around their necks,
and the death sentence read by the
judges, shouted God save Ireland!"
Saturday morning there will be a
special a of requiem by the Rev.
Patrick j. Browne, in st. Philip Neri's
Church, in Grove street, in memory of
the Irish heroes. There will be nothing
elaborate about the services. The flag
of Ireland wrapped around the cata-
falque will be the only decoration.

PUBLlCSERVICE
LOSES TAX
DISCOUNT
First Time Big Corporation
Has Not Taken Advan-
tage Of 1t.

The Public Service Corporation up
to this afternoon had failed to pay its
taxes on it's various general utility
companies for 1907, to Tax Receiver
Robert L.. Ross, and consequently loses
the one-half of one per cent. discount
on an amount estimated at s1S5, 900, rep
r~esenting the local rate of $1.69 on each
800 of ratables.
Today ends the period for the one
half Of one per cent. discount, and for
a month the company will have the
option Of paying a fiat tax, and, after
that, If they fail to pay up, will have to
pay interest on the amount.
In the past the Public Service Cor
poration has always paid within the
first ten days, and consequently re-
ceived the one per cent. discount for
prompt payment, but this year the
s%tringency of the money market has
caused the big corporations to hold
back, as they can get more for the
money in the present state of the mar
ket than the amount they would re-
ceive in discount for prompt payment
of taxes.
While the gas company, electric
light company, North Jersey Rail-
road Company and others in the Pub
lie Service Corporation have acquired
numerous additional plots of property
since last year and he valuation and
amount taxed materially increased,
still this year the increase in taxes
over what was received last year,
$12S, sos, will not be increased over s
per cent, as the tax rate this year is
$1.69 as against s1.72 last year.
For the last week the tax receipts
have fallen off materially, and the
city is no longer receiving the large
amounts daily to relieve the local
banks.

When Eight-Hour Day Is
Not Granted.

Because their demands for an eight-hour
day was refused by the Master Printers
Association the union cylinder feeders en-
ployed in this city and Glen Ridge went

The men made the demand on the mas

which has an agreement with the printers
allowing an eight-hour day.
Already some firms arc affected, and
Gfter the thirteen feeders Of the Neyins
Church Press Company, Of Glen Ridge,
went out today the firm was forced to

Some time ago the cylinder feeders

Gently repudiated the agreement, which
they claimed was unfair.

FORESTERS
PLAN FINE

Seven-stOry Temple on
Central Site to Cost
$4,000.
ROOMS FOR BACHELORS
Lodgemen Interested in Project.
Arranging to Raise Necessary
Funds -- To Issue Second
Mortgage Bonds. Give Sub
scribers Year to Pay.
ROOMS FOR BACHELORS

The question of erecting a Foresters'
temple in Newark was discussed last
night by the members of Court South
End No. 1862, Independent Order of
Foresters. at a meeting held in For
esters' Hall, 6S Springfield avenue, and
a plan of operation was adopted as pre-
sented by a special committee, which
had the p~reliminaries of the movement
in charge.
The plan and scope of the commit
tees report was that the temple, which
is to be erected by Court South End.
should be a seven-story building, To-
Gated centrally, to contain lodge. COM
mittee, reading and ante-rooms, a large
auditorium with w%ardrobes; bowling al
leys. pool and billiard room, club cafe,
etc. The temple will also contain a
number of furnished rooms for single
men, on the plan of modern club
houses.
1t was decided to issue bonds to be
known as second mortgage bonds, at IS
each, bearing interest. Subscribers of
the bonds will have twelve months in
which to pay their full amount SUBJ
scribed. Any member purchasing bonds
will become a part owner in the tenn
pie.
A special meeting will be called next
week, and the plan will be more fully
drawn out and the preliminary work
of getting subscriptions and the selec-
ton of the site will soon thereafter
be started.
The Independent Order of Foresters
in Newark was organized in the Old
Library in 1874. The members of South
End Court believe that a temple in the
city which gave birth to the order is
not only proper but that 1t will be a
popular movement.
The new temple will cost in the
n-eighborhood of $4,000 when COM
pleted. While the movement is the in
ception of the above lodge, all Foresters
in the city and State are interested, and
Secretary Winzel has already received
several communications soliciting infor.
nation concerning the proposed build
ing.
At the meeting last night the same
committee was continued and given

TRAMPS START
FIR E F @ R
REVENGE?
Hundreds Imperiled When
Incendiary Blaze Threat
ems Whole Block.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-Fire, which is
supposed to have been started by in
cendiaries, imperilled the lives of hun
dreds of men, women and children liv-
ing in tenement houses on Sixty-thlrd
and Sixty-fourth streets, east of Third
avenue, early today.
Frightened ONE and men gathered
their children and their most valued
possessions and stood at windows and
on fire escapes ready to receive from
tiremen the word to leave their endan-
gered homes.
The flames, which for a time threat
ened to sweep the whole block, started
in a lumber yard owned by Sloane &
Muller, which runs from No. 311 to 315
East Sixty-fourth street.
The blaze spread so rapidly that
hill hremen were in a table at No.
317, owned by Mrs. Kate Sheehan, try
ing to liberate fourteen horses that
were imprisoned there, fire caught the
roof. and in spite of the water that was
poured on the building, 1t was con-
sumed and all the horses burned to
death.
The flames next attacked the home
of Mrs. Sheehan, at 319 Sixty-fourth
street. This was a one and a half
story structure of wood, and 1t was not
many minutes before 1t was doomed.
Patrolman Chech, of the East Sixty
seventh street station, broke In the
door Of the house Just as Patrick Shee-
han was breaking in the door to the
room in which aged Mrs. Sheehan,
with whom he boarded, was asleep.
Together they tried to awaken her, but
found thai she was overcome by fright
or smoke, and SO Sheehan, who is a
giant in stature, swung her over his
shoulder and carried her to the home
OF her sister, who lives opposite.
Mrs. Sheehan is more than 20 years
old, and as she has been In feeble
health for some time 1t is feared that
the shock and exposure may endanger
her life.
A southwest wind which was blowing
at the time the blaze broke out sub
sided after the flames had been pro-
ceeding almost unchecked by the
streams of water that were poured on
them. when suddenly the wind changed
n swept them back over the ruins
OF the lumber. and having little more
to feed on the advance was checked
and h tenants whose homes were in
line with the fire and who had been
ready to flee returned to their beds.
Fire Marshal Cartwright said that
he had learned from one of the own
ers of the lumber yard that threats
had been made against them recently
because they had driven out a num-
Der of tramps who took boards and
made themselves little houses in which
they slept at night.
My opinion is" said Cartwright,
that some of these men have car
ried out their threat to get even with
the owners of the yard by setting fire
to the place.

his questioning he took up the relation
ship of Mrs. Bradley with Senator Brown
where he had left off yesterday. His first
question was devoted to bringing out the
facts concerning her stay at Browns home
in the latter part of November, 1906. She
said that she had gone to the house on
the night OF November 10 n remained
for five days. She said that she told
Brown she had come to return some of
his calls. He tried to compel her to go
away.
HE seemed sort of paralyzed," said he

him to keep his promise. He said, go
away M he would tell me later what
he would do. / said: If you don't intend
to keep your promise tell me n l will go
away"
She related many interviews during this
stay at the Brown house, saying that he
did not stay there while she was there,
but that she went to his office and up-
braided him as a deceiver.
Did you at any time think OF ending
your iife?'' asked Judge Powers. The re-
ply was in the affirmatice. but most Of the
words were indistinct. 81 was in the low
est depths OF despair" she said among
other things.

Powers.
Yes replied the witness. She said
that even as late as November q, twelve
days before the tragedy. Mr.. Brown had
asserted that she should not go away, but
should remain in Salt Lake aud take a
house there. At other times he would say
could do nothing for her, and again he
would renew his promise Of marriage,
when they would go to Goldfeld, Nevada,
