FLAMES
Destroyed The Home Of Mr..
Joseph Deerlng
On East Front Street We'd.
neSday Evening
Blaze Started By Exp Osion
Of A Lamp

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
Deering on East Front street was al
most entirely destroyed by flames on
Wednesday evening. At about ten
o'clock, Mr.. Simmons, who owns the
house and resides next door, heard a
muffied report but did not investigate
as he supposed it was only the closing
of door in one of the neighboring
houses, but about five minutes after
ward, flames were seen in the house
where the sound was thought to have
come from. The fire department was
Immediately called and two lines of
hose were turned on the flames which
were extinguisbed after hard wark.
1t is thought that the fire was caus.

ed by the exploding Of an oil lamp
which was left buring on a stand. AS
soon as the blaze was discovered, the
neIghbors began to remove the furni-
ture from the house as 1t was immed-
lately seen that nothing could be done
before the fire department arrived and
almost everything was taken out into
the yard. When the fire broke out,
Mrs. Deering was sitting with her chill
dren, in small summer kitchen at
the rear OF the house and was not
aware that anything was wrong until a
neighbor broke down the door in the
front of the house in order to alarm
the household. The loss was covered
by insurance.

O new branch OF the Marriage License
Bureau was opened in the Borough
Hall of the Bronx on June 1 and an en-
terprising Bronx newspaper offered a
prize of q china dinner set to the cou-
pie that would obtain the first license
at the new branch office. The re-
suit may be imagined. There was
regular mass meeting of blushing
maidens and bashful swains in front
of Borough Hall as early as six o'clock
although the offices are never opened
before nine o'clock in the forenoon
The first two couples at the building at
the same time and to decide the ques-
tlon of priority the brides ran race.
The winner afterwards called for and
received her china set.
For the second time in six months
the safe of big store on Broadway
was blown open by cracksmen in
broad day light last Sunday after
noon. The first time the safe blowers
managed to carry off $4,000 which
they found in the safe. Their Sec
ond attempt was not quite so success
full. They shattered the safe, but the
explosion of the nitro glycerine made
SO much noise that it attracted the
attention of the police and the burg
lars, who evidently awaited the re-
suit of the explosion at safe distance
did not get chance to return to rob
the safe.

ed for the iawatha assembly, which
opens on July 25. He has seen a num-
ber of programs for chautauquas to be
held this season, and it was his opin-
ion that the Hiawatha program will
go far ahead of any other In the en-
tire state. 1t has more strong men
and attractions than any he has seen,
and felt that the coming of Senator
Dolliver of Iowa, Mr. John d. Long
Senator Norris d. Brown of Nebraska
to say nothing of the dozen other at
fractions, would of themselves make
the assembly good one.
Supt. G. J.,Rose writes that he has

A truck driver with thieving pro-
-pensities made the mistake of his life
the other day when he tried to steal a
diamond stickpin from the scarf of a
stranger whom he found sitting on the
curb, apparently in state of intoxi-
cation. The stranger happened to be
detective, no simulated intoxication
just for the purpose of attracting the
attention of pickpockets and other
crimals. The detective caught the
thieving driver and, after desperate
struggle subdued him. The prisoner
was held upon the double charge of
robbery and carryiny concealed weap-
ons.

To "mere man" it may seem to be
absurd idiosyncrasy that so many wo-
men have a strong preference for be-
ing married in the month of June, but
for some unaccountable reason many
women actually have such a prefer
ence and are willing to make seacri'
fees and suffer no end of inconven-
fences for the sake of being married
in that particular month. To what ex-
tent this June craze has grown may
be inferred foom the fact that this
year there has been regular race be-
tween women to be the first June
brides. One girl, particularly ambi-
tions to be the first June bride of the
year, was married two minutes after
midnight of May 81 and 1t is very
likely that she was the victor in the
race.

A Truck Driver Makes The
Mistake Of Life

New York, June 16-When Mrs.
Bridget Woods, who died few days
ago at the house of her daughter in
this city, came to New York at the age
Of six years she found it but moder-
ately sized town. The city hall was
then in the same place where it now
stands, but it was considered to be To-
Gated on the extreme northern bound
of the city, beyond which there was
little chance of the houses ever eX-
tending. The only Catholic church
was st. Peters, which still stands
at the corner of Barclay and Church
streets. Mrs. Woods was born in
County Tyrone, Ireland, on February
1, 1906 and came to New York in 1911,
a year before the second war with
Great Britain Mrs. Woods, who en-
joyed the most remarkable good
health to within few days of her
death, but also many memories of the
infancy of Paterson, N. j., of which for
a time she was resident. She could
look back to the days when there was
no Jail in that town, and such crimi
nails as there were, were exposed in
the good old-fashioned way, in stocks
and pillory. A daughter, seventy
years old, two grand children, eleven
great grandchildren and two great
great-grandchildren survive her.

1t is really not surprising that so
many deeds of violence are committed
by the large number of undesirable
citizens who inhabit the Italian quar-

town and arrested more than forty
men in whose possession loaded re-
volvers, dangerous looking knives, sti-
lettos and other dangerous weapons
were found.

There is good opportunity for
some physician to write learned
dissertation upon the medical proper
ties of $50-bills. About a week ago
a merchant in Middletown on retiring
for the night, left some bills lying on
his dresser. He had a lame back and
some time during the night he asked
his wife to prepare a porous plaster.
After heating the plaster his wife
brought it into the dark bed room and
accidentally dropped it nthe dres-
ser. When she picked it up she did
not notice that one of the bills, $50
note, had been become attached to the
business side of the plaster. Her hus-
band applied the, plaster to his back
. and kept it there several days. OF
course he missed the billfi but all
searching proved futile, until, upon re.
moving the plaster the bill was found
sticking to it. AS it was found i'm
possible to remove the bill from the
plaster, the plaster with the bill was
sent to the Treasury Department with
the request to exchange the bill for a
new one. Strange to say the lame
back was cured as effectually as il the
plaster had been in actual contact
with the mans back.
