lar and first floor, and II was with great
difficulty that they made their way through
the smoke-filed halls to the street. In his
haste to get his children and wife out
of the burning building Mr.. Pierson left

being burned by Fire Chief Russell, who
went up a ladder and found the wallet
with the money in 1t, in the place where
Mr.. Pierson told him it was
Mr.. PierSon is member OF the firm OF
J. T. Pierson & Sons, manufacturers of
masons' materials. in East Orange. He
was opposed to having any Christmas ceie-
bration Sunday, and he invited about
fifty guests to celebrate with him this even
ing. To add to the chesrfu,ness of the place
Pierson built a coal fire in the open CRATE
in the reception room. The fire was not
kindling fast enough to suit him, so he
decided to shake it. In doing So several
live Goals went through into the cellar
instead of into brick vault The fire
spread rapidly, and while the family was
on the second floor the smoke and flames
spread through the lower floor and nearly
cut off means Of escape by way of the
stairs.
Pierson seized two of the children, told
his wife and the servant to follow with
the other and made rush down the stairs
They reached the street, Pierson being the
only one hurt, his hands having been slight
ly burned.
When the f1remen reached the house the
whole lower part was in flames. 1t was
then that Pierson remembered that ne had
left 81, 100 in the house, and asked Chief
Russell to get it for him
Not long after the fire had burned itself
out the first of the guests began to arrive
for the reception which was to have been
held In the house. Rather than dfsappoint
the guests Mr.. Pierson made arrangements
with a local hotel to have a Christmas din
ner served to his family and guests. He
estimates the loss son his house at 5000
and Its contents at $3.50. The house was
one of the finest in Glen Ridge.
