South Amboy, March 2:-Another
Re occurred yesterday afternoon
about / o'clock. A still alarm by
phone vas sent to Independent En-
CINE Company that the Johns Man
vile Asphalt Paint Works were on
fire and that the Mechanicsville Hose
Company was at the scene Of the FIRE,
but lacked sufficient hose to success
fully cope with the confiagration. In
dependence Hose carriage was on the
scene as quickly as horses could con-
vey it, but on reaching there 1t vas
found that the fire was under control
as the .Mechanicsville hose had a
stream on the flames, and, with the
assistance of the hose attached to
four locomotives. had sufficiently
eubdued the flames rs to make it un-
necessary for Independence hose to
make a connection.
How the FIRE originated no one was
able to give the Information, but the
superstition is 1t was caused by the
boiling over of the paint in process
of manufacture. While the roof was
of metal, q portion Of 1t Is rendered
worthless as 1t was laid upon wood
work and the FIRE burning away the
support, and much of the metal roof
ing was demolished in getting at the
fire.

LIVED LONG WITHOUT EATING
Men and Animals Have Made Some
Remarkable Fasts Mat
ter Of Record.

The record for fasting. SO far as
humanity is concerned. is held by
Granie, a French murderer. who de-
termined to starve himself to death.
and from the day of his arrest refused
to eat. In spite of every effort on the
part of his warders. who first tried
tempting him to eat by placing the
most dainty meals in his cell. and
when that failed, attempted feeding
him by force. he held out for 63 days,
at the end of which time he died. Up
to then the longest authenticated fast
on record was that accomplished by
Giovanni Succi. who tasted at the
Royal Aquarium, London. for 45 days.
But these records sink into insignia
cance when compared with the fat
pig of Dover. enshrined in DR.. w. b..
Carpenters Manual of Physiology"
This pig weighed 100 pounds and was
entombed for 100 days by the fall Of
portion of the chalk cliffs. When
dug out it weighed only 40 pounds.
but to the surprise of Its owner was
alive.

smuggling of arms and men across the
international boundary.
