NINE ENGINES WORK
At SOUTHEAST BLAZE
Excitement When Fire Spreads
Among 9th Street
Houses.

Four companies Of the fire department
responded to an alarm of fire sounded
from box 541 this morning. about 9:3O
O'Clock, because Of blaze in the home Of
Clarence H. McDevitt. 314 9th street
southeast. The blaze spread so rapidly
to the adjoining houses that a second
alarm was sent In, calling out FIVE addi-
tional companies.
1t has been a long time since residents
OF that section had seen so many fire
companies In their neighborhood, and
many Of them left their homes to watch
the engines work. Hundreds of children
had to be kept beyond the danger line by
the police.
The fire started in the summer kitchen
on the MoDevitt premises, where an oil
stove exploded and ignited the WOODWORK
So rapidly did the fire spread to the
house that it was almost impossible to
save the effects in the rooms in the rear
portion of the structure.
Mrs. Clara Newman, occupant of
house BIG, found 1t necessary TO aban-
don her home in a hurry, the flames
having soon attacked her house in the
rear. Next the flames attacked the
318 9Th street.
Called From His Work.
Mr.. Wenzel was at work and his
wife and children were temporarily
absent from the house. When he was
summoned home he found his house
had been partly burned. part Of his
household effects had been destroyed
by fire, while water had done consid-
cradle damage.
Firemen succeeded in checking the
flames after the third house had been
burned. Occupants Of the house to the
north Of the -McDevitt building suffered
no damage. A narrow yard separates
the two houses. and the firemen pre-
vented the flames from reaching across
the opening.
Fire Marshal Nicholson estimated the
damage to the three frame structures
at about $1,000. The contents OF the
houses were damaged to the amount
of at least $500.
Houses S14 and 316 are owned by
John Crown. They are insured. Mr..
Wenzel owns his home, and had il
fully insured.

FOR PARK SITE
Mayor Pierson Secures Prop

Mayor Arthur S. Pierson has taken
title to the Quimby property on
Washington street and Mendham road
and it will eventually be turned over
tenn. This parcel will form the en-
trance to the thirty acres of land given
to the town by Mr.. and Mrs. Freder-

The property was owned by Mrs.
Sarah M Quimby and her son, Arthur
G. Quimby. 1t has a frontage of
about 600 feet on Washington street
and Mendham avenue and is about
$50 feet in depth.
The property was mortgaged for
$4,000 Mayor Pierson had the as
sistance of Judge Alfred Elmer Mills
in securing a man to take this mort
ghge. In order to meet the interest
payments Mr.. Pierson has repaired
the three dwelling houses ON the prop

time as the town can relieve him of

TROLLEY AGAIN DELAYED.
Company Wins in Condemnation Ap-
pIicaticn But Delays Arise.

Though the Morris County Trac-
ton Co. won out in its application
for condemnation commissioners to
condemn lands of Mrs. II. NICK.
Twombly, the Sisters of Charity,
DR.. f. Landon Humphreys and David
Brown, the matter is further delayed
by one of the commissioners not be-
ing a freeholder. Justice Charles w.
Parker named Mayor John Mulligan,
of Dover; Andrew Cobb, of Parsippany
and Edward ]. Cahill, of Boonton, as
the commissioners. Mayor Mulligan
it is found is not a property owner
and the trolley company will have to
make new application.
The opponents of the trolley through
Convent have taken further steps
against the building of the road by
calling the attention of Attorney Gen.
erail Edmund Wilson to the fact that
the application for commissioners was
made by the Morris Railroad Co.. a
corporation formed, it is said, by the
trolley officials to secure the neces-
sary rights-of-way by means of a
steam railroad charter, The attorney
general has filed with the Supreme
court an information and the question
of the validity of the formation of
the steam railroad company will be
argued before him. This matter is
returnable on June 22nd.
