BUT NO BLAZE

While Patrolmen Tonnesen and
Gutowski were passing Flynn s.
Mullen's undertaking establishment
at "a New Brunswick avenue, at
5:15 o'clock this morning, they saw
sm oke issuing from the cellar.
They aroused Mr.. Flynn, by ring
ing his night bell, and called to him
to waken John s. Hanson and family
and notify them that the house was
on fire. Mr.. Flynn was soon down
stairs. Tonnesen and Gutowski by
this time had raised the iron grating
and dropped into the cellar.
They found no fire. A Hungarian
washwoman, who was making a fire
in a stove, was the cause Of the ex-
element.
Mr.. Flynn, who is member of
Protection Hook & Ladder Company,
stayed on guard in front of his place
for some time, fearing that some one
would see the smoke and send in an
alarm.
