and Nearby Places Badly
Damaged by Flames.
to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Roosevelt. Mar. 14-Eight people
had a narrow escape from being
burned to death when one of the
most disastrous fires that ever visit
ed Roosevelt totally destroyed the
large hotel of Adam CARRIER, in
Woodbridge avenue, at $3.50 o'clock
this morning.
Mr. CARRIER, his wife and three
children, together with the Misses
Mary and Clara Stern and Alexander
Loeberwich, butcher who boarded
tnere, were forced to leap from a
second story window, clad only in
their night clothes. All escaped
withou injury, although Mr.. and
Mrs. CARRIER were scorched by the
intense heat.
The fire was discovered by Mr..
CARRIER, who smelled smoke. He
ran to the hall. but escape from that
way was already cut off,
Mr.. CARRIER lost $500 In money
that he left behind In his bedroom.
The heat from the fire was so in
tense that 1t cracked all of the glass
In the windows of the stores oppo-
site and seorched the paint from the
buildings.
An alarm Of fire was sounded but
when the firemen arrived the build
Ing was mass of flames. The fire.
men did good work In saving build
ings across the street. A barn In
the rear of the hotel was also de-
stroyed.
The cause of the fire is unknown
but 1t is believed to have started
from an overheated furnace.
The loss will probably reach
$4,000, covered by insurance with
Boynton Brothers q Company, OF
Perth Amboy.
The Misses Stern, whose father ie
about to open dry goods store
across the street, lost everything.
Mr.. Loeberwich lost all his effects,
but saved 1900 that he had in his
bedroom at the time.
That all of Chrome was saved
from destruction by the roaring
flames was largely due to the efforts
Of the Railway fire department, un-
der the supervision of Chief William
Duff. Chief Duff was notified at
$3.50 o'clock by I. Schwartz. The
Railway flremen arrived on the scene
sh ortly before o'clock and at that
time Garber's building was as q
roaring furnace. Chief Duff said II
certainly looked as though all oI
Chrome was doomed. He says plate
glass windows across the street from
the burning building cracked and
the buildings were scorched.
The efforts of the Railway fire.
men saved the situation, believes
Chief Duff as. when his men arrived,
the flames were spreading to Gar
ber's new building. In short time
the entire surrounding property
would have been gone. The entire
Railway department was on the
scene and played four streams on
the burning structure.

MAY TENDER
RESIGNATION
Rumor That Excise Commits
si0ner Cornelison Con-
templates Such Action.
HAS BEEN IGNORED
Refuses to Either Affirm or
Deny Report--Will
Talk Later.
HAS BEEN IGNORED

1t Is generally understood that
William Cornelison will tender his
resignation as member OF the
Board of Excise Commissioners at
the next meeting of the Board of AL
dermen. A rumor to that effect is
prevalent among city officials, but
when Mr.. Cornelison was interviewed
over the telephone today he neither
denied or affirmed it. He said he
would talk later.
1t is believed that Mr.. Cornelison
is not satisfied with the manner In
which the board transacts its busi-
ness and feels that he has been
sighted at times. 1t Is also under
stood that Mr.. Cornelison objects to
such notoriety as the board is now
receiving for its action at the past
two meetings.
President Henderson, of the Excise
Board, says he learned of Mr. Corne-
lison's intended action week ago,
but that the commissioner has said
nothing to him about the matter.

tion and the case proceeded.

ed the circulars were blocking the
character of Rev. Galassi.

first witness. He was only asked
one question, as to his official capac-
ity in the church he represented.
He will be placed on the stand later.

lars in question. Patrolman Calvin,
