FOUR PERSONS KILLED ATAF FIRE.

-
In a fire which destroyed the two
story frame dwelling and store OF Hill
& Schwing, in Ellen street, West Ho-
boken, early yesterday morning, four
persons we're killed before the fremen
arrived.
The dead are the father and mother
OF family which occupied the apart
mcnts above the store, and two OF their
children. Two other children were SO
badly burned that their lives are de-
spared OF. In the excitement attending
the attempts at rescue, neither the
police nor the firemen we're able TO
learn the names OF the victims.
The fire started in the basement OF
the building and spread with such
amazing rapidly that the police were
led to believe it had been of incendlary
origin.

promoter OF marriages to change TO

Levi was under age and Williams

The unfinished license is at the coun.
