Young Women at
Home Of B.
Goldman.
is A MYSTERY
neishhOrhOOd Aroused by Cries
EARLY This Morning = Worked
fOr Nearly Two Hours to Re-
tore Consciousness
Story Of 0as Of the
Rescuers.

Three girls-one Of them q do
mestic-were overcme by gas, /
their apartments over the store Of
Barnet Goldman, ?33 Smith street,
or Barnet Goldman. 233 Smith street,
corner of Oak street, early this
morning. They were rescued just
in the nick of time, and were revived
after one or two hours hard work.
Between 2 and o'clock neighbors
heard loud screams issuing from. the
house and william Poulsen, Charles
Anderson and William Cassidy ran
to see what was the matter. The
story told by one of them Ia as fol-
lows:
Upon hearing the screams, we In
vestigated at once and found the
household in. grea confusion. We
threw open the windows and turned
OF the gas and then gave our atten-
ton to reviving the three girls,
which took nearly two hours. 1t ap-
peared to us as though the gas had
either been left burning and was
blown out, perhaps by a draught, or
that it had been turned on in some
accidental manner. We understood
that one of the girls was daughter
of Mr.. Goldman. The girls slept over
the store, at the rear of the build
ing. The gas did no. penetrate the
apartments at the front of the
house. It was nearly O'Clock before
the victims were fully restored"
MIR. GOldman's Story.
The account given by Mr.. Cold
man differs materially from the
foregoing. He says that he smelled
NO gas at all and that the gas had not
been turned on. He said one of the
girls was servant. They were An
ME Stuson, Lena Diamond and one
other whose name Mr.. Goldman re-
fused to divulge. He said that three
physicians were called, but that the
girls had recovered when they ar
rived.
DR.. G. w. Tyrrell said today that
two of the girls were unconscious
when he arrived, closely followed by
DR.. M. 8. Member and DR.. F. G.
Henry. The odor of gas was plainly
perceptible, said DR.. Tyrrell, but the
windows had been opened and no
medicine or actual treatment was re-
quired, and they were revived within
q brief period after the physicians
arrival.
It was the screams of the people
in the front part of the apartments
which aroused the neighbors and
brought them to their assistance.
DR.. F. C. Henry said that when he
arrived Drs. Tyrrell and Meinzer
were in attendance and the three ply
sicians were of the opinion that the
girls had been overcome by gas.
DIR. M s. Meinzer told a reporter
that the girls were overcome by gas
and that the servant was in the worst
condition and that they had great
deal of trouble with her.

Hungarians, Poles or Slavs, to go
to Preble. They were guaranteed
steady work as long as they wished to
stay, but, after waiting until late in
the afternoon, he had secured only
forty-five or fifty men, and he left
for New ork with them, over the
Staten Island Rapid Transit railroad.
A NEWS man talked with Mr..
Smith at the Staten Island ferry, foot
Of Smith street, before he left here
and he seemed very much disappoint-
ed that he was not able to get enough
men to go away with him :. He said
that he would guarantee the men
steady jobs, and that his firm wanted
men, who would stay with them, and
grow up with the place. Mr.. Smith
said the firm started men at $1.25
per day for nine hours, but that they
also gave them free board and sleep
ing quarters, and they had chance
for better wages after time. With
in short time the company, Mr..
Smith said, would employ between
500 and 900 men.

PARTLY PAID FIRE
DEPT. is SUCCESSFUL
is Greatly Pleased With
the System There "Details Given
in the Chiefs Report.

Perth Amboy can learn much from
Plainfield In regard to the partly
paid fire department. The ordinance
now pending before the local Board
OF Aldermen provides for a fire de-
partment in this city very similar to
the one there. With a population of
18,46S. according 20 the state census
of 1905, Plainf1eld is divided into
four wards and has but three separ-
ate fire houses. Perth Amboy, with
a population of 1886, according to
the same census, has six wards and
four separate fire houses. Both
cities, however. have five companies.
The following from the report of the
chief of the Plainfield department
for the year 1907 gives a detailed
description of the system in vogue
there:
The manual force of the depart
ment is divided into two classes
permanent and call men. The per-
manent force consists of 1 chief en-
gineer, l assistant engineer, cap
tains of companies, driver Of
chiefs wagon. tillerman, drivers
OF apparatus, hose and pipe men.
The call force consists of / captain,
l engineer of steamer, 1 veterinary
surgeon, "a privates.
There were two full-paid men add
ed to the department this year, and
would respectfully recommend that
two more men be added next year.
