Last night large truck was haul

The Vulcan then took hold of the

his hands. Thus, while the horses
pulled the load, in drawing the

Walking in this manner between the

The Board of Aldermen plan to pave
Smith street, between the Central rail-

This matter, as well as the paving of
Kearny avenue, will probably be taken
up at the next session of the aldermen
in August.

Finds Him on Bed, With
Revolver in Hand.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Tottenville, July 24:-Despondent
over grief, which the two years inter
vening since the death of his wife have
not relieved, and discouraged because
he was unsuccessful in his search for
work, Isador Draback, forty-four years
old, of Riverside avenue, Kreischerville
ended his life at his home last night.
Hilda, his fifteen-year-old daughter
who resided with him, returned home
shortly after o'clock last night after
visit with friends in Kreischerville
and found her father partly dressed, ly-
bre revolver in his right hand and
blood flowing from bullet-hole in his
right temple, just above the ear. The
bed clothing was covered with blood
and the body was still warm.
Hilda ran to Louis Eith's saloon in
Riverside avenue and told Mr.. Eth
what had occurred. Mr.. Eth notified
Lieutenant Pearse, of the Goth precinct
station, Tottenville, and Patrolman
Lester Rogers was sent to take charge
of the body until the arrival of the

Coroner Cahill came down from New
Brighton about 10 o clock and viewed
the body and made an investigation
He found nothing suspicious and gave
Undertaken Charles Bogardus permis
sion to remoye.the body to his morgue

Draback formerly worked as a labor
er in the yard of the Atlantic Terra
Gotta Company in Tottenville. It j:
said that he had applied for work again
about two weeks aqo and when told
that no help was needed at that time
seemed quite respondent. He had tried
other places without success and this
is taken as the cause of his act.

has kept house for him since the death

HOUSE BURNS, FOUR
FAMILIES IN DANGER
Occupants Saved

Is Consumed.
TENANTS FLEE

A fire at 10 O clock last night destroy
ed the one-an-a-ha half story frame house
at 2l3 Grant street, menacing the lives
of the family of John Patzak, as well
as three foreign families in the adlAip-
ing tenement building Members Of
Lincoln Engine Company, Eagle Hose
company and the Protection Hook g.
Ladder company did good work in pre-
venting the three-story frame tenement
adjoining from going up in flames.
The building at 2l3 Grant street is a
total loss and the adjacent one on the
north, at No. 2l5, is damaged to the
extent of about S400 the sheathing
being badly scorched The one-and-a-
half story building, owned and occupied
by the Patzak family, with all its con-
ltents--was consumed, involving loss Of
approximately 81 POO.
The FIRE originated in the front room
lof the small building about 10 O'Clock,
while Mrs. Patzak and children, Frank
six years old, Mamie, four and Julia
one -and-a-h half, were in the middle
room, which was used as bed. chamber.
Patzak had gone out and was on his
way home when an alarm of fire from
box 81 was sounded The flames, which
started from an unknown cause in the
front room, consumed the front portion
of the structure rapidly. The fremen
worked hard, but the small structure
burned 50 rapidly that nothing could
save it. The Eagles, only block from
the scene Of the blaze, experienced diff
fculty with their horses and were late
on the job; nevertheless they played
the first stream of water on the burn
ling building.
There was wild commotion in the inn
mediate neighborhood when the FIRE
broke out, for the blaze rose high in the
air illuminating the sky. 1t appeared
as though the big three-story frame
tenement adjoining would have to go,
but good Judgment on the part of the
fremen saved it. John Drifte, a mem
ber of the Eagle company, was cut ON
the wrist by triangular piece of glass.
