WILD DOGS ADD
TO HORRORS OF
FLOODED PARIS

PARIS, Feb. 1.-The river Seine fell
steadily today, the recession being at
the rate of about three-fourths of an
inch an hour. The waters also are
retreating from the streets. More tram
ways were in operation today. as were
the new sections of the subway.
Streets that had been crossed to traffic
We're in many instances reopened today,
and in the heart of the city things re-
sumed a more normal appearance.
Marquis De Voge, Count DHausson-
vile, Duke De Camastra, Count D'Har-
court and other representatives of the
nobility of France, are devoting all OF
their time to the work of relief. The
women of the Societe Des Femmes De
France, which is a republican organi-
zation as distinguished fromS the So
ciete Des Danes Franchise, have en-
tered the hospitals as nurses. Mgr.
Annette, archbishop of France, is per-
sonally directing the work of the Cath
ollie clergy and charitable orders.
The killing of brigands who prey upon
the helpless in the outskirts of the city
continues. During last night number
were shot and four men and four
women narrowly escaped lynching
when they were found robbing DESERT
ed houses at Alfortville They had
constructed q raft from which they
entered the still partially submerged
homes.
Famished dogs are found in the
deserted houses in inundated districts,
many of them so ferocious that they
must be shot.
President Fallieres has snbscribed
another $4,000 to the relief fund.
1t is estimated that more than a
quarter of a million persons have been
affected by the floods.
Freezing temperature adds to the Mis-
cry of the unfortunates. An attempt 70
resume the railroad service before the
electric signal system had been restored
has resulted in dozen train collisions

of the three women to Ocey Snead.
Her death resulted from a broken
heart, Mrs. Pollock having failed in

STORED MATCHES
BY MILLION IN
HIS RESIDENCE
Combustibles Inspector Finds
$4,000 "Fire Sticks" in
Pesfine Avenue House.

Three million six hundred and seven
ty-two thousand matches, stored in a
six-family house at 81 Peshine avenue
have been ordered removed by CAPTAIN
c. Albert Gasser, head of the Bureau
of Combustibles and Fire Risks. They
are the property of Solomon Pawlotsky
who bought them from c. H. Bishop &
Co., of TO Soaring street. whose
place of business was ruined by fire on
January 10.
Complaint was made by one of the
other tenants of the house that the
man was using the place as a store
house for matches. Fireman Jenkin-
son, Captain Gasser's assistant, was
sent to inspect the premises He re-
ported that he found fifty cases of
matches in the cellar of the place and
in the kitchen. On the third floor.
where Pawlotsky lived, was another
gross of matches on the mantei over
the stove. The matches had been wet
in the fire at Bishops place. and Paw
lotsky bought them and was drying
them out to resell. He was ordered
to remove them at once.
These matches have caused more
trouble, it is said, than any consign-
ment that has ever come to Newark.
Through an error they were delivered
to Bishop on the day of the fire, al
though they did not belong to him.
The fire started in the stable next door
and burned its way into his place. Few
of the matches were destroyed by fire,
but all were damaged by water
When it came to the adjustment of
the insurance Bishop woud not settle
because he did not know whether he
was responsible for the matches, be-
cause they were in his place. The in
surance company would not pay be-
cause he did not own all the matches.
The railroad would not pay because he
mad accepted them. The manufacturers
would not pay because they had le-
livered the goods.
The matter of insurance is still in dis
pute.

BR|OGEMEN DEFY
COMMITTEE BUT
AVOID OPEN CLASH
Refuse to Leave Positions, but
Chat After Formal Notice
and "SwOp' Cigars.

A formal demand to vacate was
made upon all of the Democrats
holding positions on the Plank
road, Jackson street Bridge street
and Clay street bridges today by the
Essex county bridge committee of the
Board of Freeholders, as decided upon
several weeks ago. In addition to the
demand for them to vacate in order to
make room for appointees by the COM
mittee, who are all Republicans, the
Democrats were also informed that,
commencing with today, sthey would
have to work without pay, as the pay
roll with their names on it would not be
rmittee.
In every instance the Democrats re-
fused to vacate, and as to the pay
they believe they will eventually get
their money.
The members Of the committee who
visited the bridges were Freeholders
Horace Holcomb, Christian L. VolZ.
Frank l.. Driver and David Nathan.
The other members of the committee
are Frank I. Ward and Richard +
Malta Freeholder Holcomb did the
talking for the committee, and he was
very formal, announcing the action of
the committee in the matter and
named the men who are 10 succeed the
present employees. All of the new
men wefe at the different bridges, and
they were ordered to report for duty
every day, even though the present
employees refuse to give up their posi-
tions. There was no scene attending
the visit of the committee.
When Freeholder Holcomb informed
superintendent William Reilly, of the
Jackson street bridge, thc. his position
had been declared vacant and a new
man had been appointed for his place.
the superintendent replied, That's no
good unless it is accompanied by an
order from the court, which is the only
thing that I will recognize"
Freeholder Holcomb then said, Have
a cigar?i
superintendent Reilly replied, Ger
tainlv."
Both lighted their cigars and smoked
up and exchanged the compliments of
the day
When the last bridge had been
visited Freeholder Holcomb said "Our
next visit will be to see County Counsel
Griffin, of Hudson county. tomorrow, to
show him the, list that have with the
names of all the new employees at
tached to agreement which is to the
effect that if the courts decide that the
positions on the bridges come under
the civil service law they will not look
for any pay.
II believe when Mr.. Griffin sees that
statement he will advise the members
of the Hudson committee on bridges
not to recognize the men now en-
ployed on the bridges
