LIGHTNING STARTS
$4,000 BLAZE IN
NEWARK FACTORY
Brush Ferrules Plant in Passaic
Street Practically Wiped
Out.
SEVENTY-FIVE MEN ARE
THROWN OUT OF JOBS
Firemen Prevent Spread of the
Flames to Standard Oil
Building Nearby.

| lightning caused a $4,000 fire at
Charles E. Green & Sons brush fer
rules factory at 90 Passaic street early
today. The blaze practically wiped out
the plant. 1t was a three-story frame
building.
The destruction of the plant will
throw seventy-five men out of work for
several weeks.
Mr.. Green, head of the firm, said to-
day that the insurance would not COM
pensate him for his loss, and that the
plant had a large number of orders on
hand.
One of the first to discover the blaze
was Charles Caffrey, private watch
man. who declares his belief that light
ming was the cause.
| When Engine Companies Nos g.
and 13 and Truck No. s arrived they
found flames shooting out of windows
of the lower floor. Despite their best
efforts the flames spread to the third
floor. Battalion Chief Moore, who was
in charge, turned in a second alarm.
which brought Engine Companies Nos.
Is, 2 and g. and Truck No. q
The flames, shooting high in the air
occasioned much alarm among the resi-
dents of upper Broad street, Third and
Belleville avenue. as 1t was feared the
/ fire might spread to the Standard Oh
Company plant several hundred feet
away The heavy rain during the night
had soaked everything so thoroughly,
! however, that the fear was proved
groundless. In the stables of the oil
company, which adioins the Green fac
tory there were fifty-four horses and
a score or more of wagons. AS a mat
/ ter of precaution the animals were
taken out, and the occupants of a num-
| ber of houses in Mount Pleasant ave-
nue. also vacated their houses. although
| they were not even scorched.
A little later in the morning the fire.
men were called to extinguish fire in
Jacob Liebstein & Sons junk shop at
Oliver and Chestnut streets causing SIC
damage.
| Lightning struck the house of A. P
Miller at 393 Warren street about the
same time, but 1t did no moro than rip
off several weather boards.

BLACK HANDLER
CAUSES HER To
NOTIFY POLICE
Newark Girls Receive Letters in
Which Their Lives Are
Threatened.

The fact that two young women in
the same social circle have received
threatening letters at the same time
has led them and the police to think
that some person of their acquaintance
is ANNOYING them for spite. The re-
cipients of the missives are Miss Ma
tiida Hartman, of 12s South Ninth
street, and Miss Pearl Daddo, of 134
South Seventh street, to whom two
letters came.
Miss Hartman regards her letter as
a Joke. but Miss Daddo has put hers into
the hands of the police, with an urgent
request that the author be punished.
Miss Daddos letters were unsigned
and written apparently with view to
discussing the handwriting, but prob
ably by different hands. The first let
ter says:
Dear p. Daddo-This is to let you
know life or death for you, so be on
the lookout when alone.
The second letter was likewise with
out a signature. IL ran:
Pearl Daddo-This is to let you know
that your life is near. day or two
more ard then good-by. Yours
IT paid no attention to the first let
ter" said Miss Daddo, but when the
second came I concluded to take ac-

Driven to desperation by a secret
which she never allowed to pass her
lips, Mrs. Maud Frances Doucette is
today a suicide, after killing her two
thin babies by plunging them into a
wash tub half filed with water late
last night at 70 Norfolk street.
A half-crazed husband, who never
knew before of the secret which came
into her life and cast cloud upon her
happiness, today seeks to solve the
mystery. The only clue is left in the
following note she penned just before
the triple tragedy.
Husband Not Responsible.
"To Whom 1t May Concern:
II have walked the floor day and
night crazed with grief. / want
the world to know that my dear

'MAUDE DOUCETTE."
Tragedy Carefully Planned.
| Mrs. Doucette laid her plans for th'
triple death carefully. She waited unit
her husband had fallen asleep tiptoeC
from a couch in the bedroom where sh'
was lying to the kitchen and barri
caded the door behind her with a table
Then she half filed the washtub ant
plunged the forms of the sleeping
twins into the water.
Then she made a pallet for hersel
with quilts and pillow, attached

conscious half an hour later when tn
husband burst into the room. He tele
phoned to the City Hospital but it wa
too late for aid, and the woman die,
shortly after she was taken to the in
stitution.
Doucette was in such state of col
lapse that he was not told of his Wife

move him. Two older children, Evelyl
