CHAUFFEUR HURT
Isaar Blanchard's Driver Is
ScOrChed and His Prop
erty Destroyed.

Louis Kennel. a chauffeur for Isaac
Blanchard, of los High street, Orange,
was painfully burned and his employ
er's $500 Rainer automobile was des-
troyed in a fire which consumed Mr..
Blanchard's garage late yesterday
afternoon. Low water pressure ham
pered the Orange firemen, but the blaze
was prevented from spreading. The to-
tai loss is placed at SIS, 300. Broken cleo
trio light and telephone wires caused
danger, as they swung in the air. The
fire started while Kennel was repairing
the car.

which was attached to the fire hydrant,
was snapped off by the horses starting
up, and the engine was rendered use
less. Captain Mcmillan and Assistant

MONKEYS FRANKS
BREAK Up STA|D
OFFICIALS CONFAB
Peeps in Window Where Orange
and West Orange Men
Hold Meeting. e.

A monkey interrupted official bust
ness of two municipalities, Orange and
West Orange. today.
While Simeon H. Robinson, town
counsel for West Orange, was In con-
ference with several other men on
West Orange matters in his office on
the third floor, rear of the Orange First
National Bank building, the monkey
suddenly made Its appearance near the
window Of Mr.. Rollinson's office and
caused the gathering of men to jump to
it's feet.
Mr.. Robinson made a protest to City
Clerk w. p. Gano, of Orange, against
the carelessness of the authorities in
allowing a monkey to interfere with
municipal work.
Mr.. Gano summoned some other Or
ange officials from various offices and,
d~espairing of sufficient agility to cap
ture the monkey in a chase, tried to
capture it by strategy and began to
talk to in the slmian sign and sound
language.
Finally the monkey departed after
trying to pull a handful of hair from
the abundant crop of the indignant city
clerk, Ind he was next heard from when
the female clerk in the sewer depart
ment was heard to let out a frightful
yell, and the entire office staff appeared
in chase of the erratic visitor.
The monkey next entered the Jour
nal plant, n work stopped there for
a time. After disporting himself by
monkeying with some telegraph wires
he entered the bowling alleys of the
Barry Hotel and amused itself taking
a couple of balls and then began to
skip over the slippery surface of the
alleys.
Suddenly becoming thirsty the simian
went to the saloon in front, and jump
ing on the bar grinned in the face of
a thirsty wayfarer, who bolted for the
door. and was followed by the other
patrons. Then the monkey grabbed a
bottle filled with funny red liquor, and
chattering gaily wandered into the
street.
Chief of Police Washer declares that
he cannot arrest the monkey until some
one makes a charge against it.
Friends of City Clerk Gano have
persuaded him to go bail for the simian
