day that indications seemed to point to
the O'Halloran kiln as the place where
the flames first broke out. Some years
ago the building next door to the Smith
plant was used by the stained glass
company as their main office. At pres
emit only the old kiln for burning the
enamel on to the glass is. employed, and
that only occasionally.
Yesterday the kiln was in operation,
but, according to a statement by Mr..
O'Halloran today, the fire vas drawn
before 1880 last night, and the place
closed up.
Mr.. Smith disclaims responsibility for
the blaze. as he says that his factory
uses no fuel, excepting oil, from which
there could be no spark. The O'Hal-
loran building was not covered by in
urance. The building occupied by
Smith was insured, but the stock was
not. (.

cinct, assisted In getting the tenants
out of the surrounding houses.
During the Smith Glass Works fire an
alarm was turned in from box IS, on
"Oak Island" where a freight a was
found in flames. The blaze had gained
such Roadway that the cause could not
be determined, and the f1remen confined
their efforts to preventing its spread to
others cars on the same track.
The. fire Is believed to have been
started by tramps. There was an i'm

From the time that Miss Vliet met

William Roemer, a grocer, whose
store is at POS won avenue, at the
corner of Chadwick venue said today:

that she left on the 10 o'clock train

pany with Mrs. Dillon. They took the
train on the Greenwood Lake division

neal Hope, which is six miles from
here land Mamie Vliet and Irving Van
Horn kne weach other as children.
When Daniel Vliet had amassed his
fortune and moved Int the ~pretentious
house on the hill overlooking Blairs-
town, Miss Vliet and Van Horn saw
little of each other until after the girls
graduation from Blair's Academy. Then
the old intimacy of childhood was re-
viyed. Although Van Horn enjoyed
no monopoly of the girls favors, 1t was
assumed he ranked highest in the list
of her admirers.
When Van Horn reached Blairstown
with a strange two hours after
it was known that Mamie Vliet was
dead in a Newark hospital, 1t was re-
garded in the valley as a piece of amaz-
ing effrontery. Not so on the hill.
Aged Daniel iVliet received the young
man kindly and listened to the story
he told with absolute confidence that
Van Horn told the truth. He was
already fixed in his conviction that his
daughter had died of an old malady,
and this confirmed it. The woman
was introduced as Mrs. Dodge, a friend
of Miss Vliet's. In the town she had
never been seen before.
Aged Parents Shielded.
AT first there was no effort to keep
from Daniel Vliet and his wife the
theory of his daughters death upon
which the detectives of the prosecutors
office in Newark are working. Now,
touched at the empty comfort which
the aged father and mother take in
their view of their daughters death,
they are being shielded from further
unpleasant details.
In the train which bore the body of
the girl home from Newark yesterday
was a detective from h Prosecutors
office. He conferred with Chief of Po-
lice Bird and learned the story of Van
Horns alleged escape from the town.
1t is not believed that Irving Van
Horn win openly visit the ,Vliet man
sion soon, although it is certain that
once safely within the doors he would
be received as a friend.

The Thomas Smith Glass Works fire,
which broke out at $3.50, threatened an
entire block of frame houses and re-
suited in a loss of nearly $4,000 to the
Smith people and about $4,000 to the
firm of Thomas O'Halloran's Sons,

a kiln next door. In the Smith fac
tory was a 500-gallon tank Of oil which
the firm uses for fuel, and which was
the chief source of danger.
Mrs. Katherine Elliott, an aged ten
ant at 70 Chambers street, could not
be induced to stay in the house, but

necessitated his working his way be-
