+ trOys ST 900 Worth of Stock.

Fire which is believed to have been
of incendiary origin caused $1,000 dam
age to the stock and store of Herman
& Co., paper hangers. of 2l9 Washing
ton street, early today. This is the
third fire in the store within the past
several months. A peculiar incident Is
the fact that in each case the blaze
has been discovered on a Wednesday
morning shortly after 5:30 o'clock, when
the street is practically deserted.
The fire today, which started in the
rear of the store in the midst of the
new stock of wallpaper. was discovered
by a member of the fire department
whose name could not be ascertained.
He was on his way home to breakfast
when he noticed clouds of smoke pour
ing from the Herman store. Upon in
vestigation he found the rear in flames
and notified the Salvage Corps, short
distance away, from where the alarm
was turned in.
Every precaution has been taken by
the members of the firm to guard
against repetition Of the last fire
They have even gone so far as to re-
move all oil the oil cans from tho
place and build a store-room in the
yard. The new stock of wallpaper,
which had just been arranged on
shelves. vas completely destroyed.
Lieutenant Hamburger. OF the Sal
wage Corps, said this morning that the
fire had all the earmarks of being Of
incondiary origin. The last one he
said was started in identically the same
spot of today's blaze. He was Of the
opinion that the Herman firm must

Excited persons pulled fire-box IL, in
the secondhand clothing district. to-
day, and when the tiremen came this Is
what they found:
Mrs. Hannah Weiner, severely in
jured as the result of kicks and bruises
which she said were inflicted by Abra-
ham Cohen, a second hand clothing
dealer, at so Canal street.
Samuel Schwartz. owner of a grocery
store at AZ, nursing black eye and a
bruised body.
Samuel Weiner, husband of the
woman, who was i'll, yelling at the top
of his voice and demanding vengeance
for his wifes injuries.
Half a hundred persons, all trying to
talk at once, and partisans in feud
which has stirred the secondhand
clothing district to its depths.
1T is the patrol wagon, not the fire
department., you people want said the
firemen disgustedly, as they made their
way back to their firehouses. And
then the First precinct patrol wagon
came along and took Mrs. Weiner to
the Beth Israel Hospital. Now. there
are warrants, counter warrants and
threats. of damage suits, and there Is
no telling how it will all end and when
peace will be declared in the district.
Both sides are now resting on their
arms.
The trouble all came about when two
nephews of the Weiners, Arab and
Abraham Ross, came from Russia
about a week ago, and Mrs. Weiner
started out to buy clothes for them.
She went along the row, and. woman
like, found it hard to strike bargain.

BIG STRIKE ON
PRUDENTIAL ENDS
As 200 GO BACK
Differences Are All Practically
Settled, With Exception OF
Question OF Back Pay.

With the return OF 200 OF the strils-
ing masons and bricklayers today to
their work on the Prudential annex.
the strike, which since December 81
has tied up the work of the Hedden
Construction Company, and thrown 4OU
men out of work, is practically ended.
With the withdrawal a week ago Of
the sub-contract given by the Hedden
company to a New York firm, which
was the fundamental cause of the
strike, there remains but the question
of paying for the waiting time of the
men, who have been out on strike. No
selection has been made by either the
strikers or the Hedden Construction
Company of the members of the com
mittee OF six by whose decision both
sides have agreed to abide. AS pub
lished yesterday, the tentative agree
work today provides for board OF
umpires, six In number, three to be
chosen by the Hedden Construction
Company and three by the strikers. The
members of this committee are to have
no connection with either side.
II. S. Gardner, of the Hedden Con-
struction Company today said that
because of the necessity of putting the
work in order, it was impossible for the
Hedden concern to put all of the men

two nephews trundling behind when
the nephews We're attracted to two suits
of clothing which were displayed in
front of Cohen's store.
Don't go in Cohen's store" Mrs.
Weiner said as she pulled her two
nephews away. but, it is declared, the
enterprlsing proprietor had already
pulled the two nephews inside. 1t Is
agreed. that there was a general fight,
and when Mrs. Weiner went home that
night she was so badly beaten that
she required the attendance of Drs.
Victor Parsonnet. Marcus Seidmann
and Nathaniel j. Price. Her husband
heard her story, and. with several
friends, went to Cohens store. Cohen
was not in, but Samuel Schwartz his
next door neighbor, was, and when
Schwartz espoused Cohen's cause he
was set upon and beaten, and his eye
was blackened
From that time the district has been
divided into factions and there have
been several outbreaks between the
Weiner and Cohen partisans. Schwartz
was laid up couple of days in bed.
and when he was able to go about he
went to Judge Hahn and asked for u
warrant for Cohen.
When Mrs. Cohen's means were heard
by neighbors today there was big
demonstration, and the announcement
that she had to be removed to a hos
