summer as to render it devoid of in

very good ball but the result, as us

Sparks from the big fire today caused

and 50 Lafayette street, occupied by
colored families. All the apparatus In
the city were engaged at the time, and
the rescue work was done entirely by
volunteers.
The fire started in No 81, occupied
by Jacob Williams, and was caused by
sparks settling on the root. 1t was dis
covered by James Jacobson, who In
formed Freebooter Kinney and Plain
clothesman Lewis, of the First Precinct,
The trio rushed to the chemical engine
quarters at Lafayette and Mulberry
streets and secured a line Of hose, which
they quickly attached. The blaze rap
idly spread to either side of No 81, how
ever, and 1t was not until Truck No.

by the intense heat of the flames. The
f1remen had to stand back . hundred
yards or moro and fight the nre from
a disadvantageous angle.
Cherry street, very narrow, offered
few advantages to the fremen. Every
one OF III narrow streets in h vicinity
was choked with fire engines and
trucks, and back a block Captain
Ryan's policemen held the crowds of
people In check.
Former Fire Chief Kiersted. who
could not resist the call of the fire
gong, was on hand, ant he gave the In
teresting bit of information that he
had condemned that trunk factory
building thirty-two years ago. saying
then that If 1t ever caught fire 1t could
never be saved. He could not say why
it had continued In service for nearly
a third of a century since.
Police Chief Corbitt wal also at the
fire, assisting Captain Ryan with the
police arrangements. The police kept
the crowds back so well that there was
no interference with the iremen, and,
under Captain Ryan, they superin-
tended the removal of the many fam
lilies threatened by the flames.
Fire Commissioner Burke was there,
and saw the total collapse of the new
water-tower. He condemned 1t roundly
and criticised the manning of the tower
''by men too old and too weak to
operate It."
On the fourth alarm every fire de-
partment apparatus In h city was
summoned to the fire. 30 that had a
blaze broken out in another section
engines would have had to left the big
blaze to attend to 1t.

months, the husband contributing 10
the support Of his wife and family
through Poormaster Brady. Mrs.
s6den had her husband arrested for
smashing the door end threatening her.
The case was dismissed, and when the
justice tried to effect a reconcihatlon
between the two the husband natiy
refused to live with his wife. Mrs,
S6den aseribed all the trouble to the
insane jealousy Of her spouse.
1t was brought out that b nus
band had suspected his wife or re-
ceiving the attention of other men.
He stole into the cellar OF her nome
last Saturday night about . O'CLOCK.
An hour later Mrs. Soden CAME In, n
when she went out again the
claims he found her talking to a man
in the street near her home. Soden,
according to his story, took OF his coat
preparatory to pitching into the man,
but the latter ran away. Soden pur-
sued him until he got out of breath,
and Their returned home. AS he en-
tered by the rear door. he said, his
wife left by the front door.
One of the children woke up and
began to cry, and Soden took the child
and was rocking 1t to sleep when Po-
liceman Charles Perl knocked at the
door with Mrs. Soden. The officer tried
his hand at ~peacemaking and, when he
failed, locked soden up on complaint OF
his wife.
Soden was adjudged not guilty by the
justice. who then tried to smooth over
the difficulties. Mrs. Soden said she
was perfectly willing to make up with
her husband, but he was too Jealous
OF her. Soden said he would not live
with his wife and would rather spend
his life behind the bars.
Now do you see ?" said Mrs. Soden
to the Justice.
