When Animals Take Fright.

Two men were hurt, two wagons
were partially wrecked and a half
dozen women narrowly escaped injury

today. The lowering of railroad gates
had the effect of stopping the run
away.
John Koethle, a driver for the Man
gels & Schmidt Bread Company, Of
Newark, stopped his horse in front Of
a store at Warren and South Fourth
streets, while he went in to transact
some business. When a piece of paper
flew past the horse it became fright

A few yards south of Sussex street, in
Fourth street, George Bierman and
his son William. of Washington and
Nutley avenues, Nutley. were riding on
their produce wagon.
Without the least warning they were
hurled from their seats when their
vehicle was struck from the real by
the bread wagon. The wheels of both
wagons became tangled. Crossing the
street at Bergen street, were a half
dozen young women. Some one shouted
a warning and the young women fled
in all directions.
At the freight crossing of the Penn
sylvania railroad Nathaniel Comey was
on duty as gateman. He saw the
horse coming and lowered the gates
The animal brought UP at the cross

Meantime the Biermans had been
picked up by passersby, but both re-
fused to go to a hospital. The older
Bierman was cut n bruised and his
son was also bruised. Their horse had
made an effort to run away, but pedes-
TRANS prevented 1t. The Bierman

torn from it was taken to a blacksmith
shop. Koethle managed to make re-
pairs to his rig and ven to his sable

door of their home. Mr.. and Mrs. Pat

selves and ran barefooted from the
room. Reaching the street they were

was discovered by q passerby. The
tenants lost their personal belongings.
The damage is estimated at $500.
The locality of the building is in the
heart of the foreign colony of West
Orange, and excitement reused tenants
in houses close by. Two fire boxes
were pulled for the blaze, one in White

son streets. Someone also sounded an
alarm calling out the West Orange ap-
paratus, and the two departments
worked hard and were able to con1ne
the blaze In the house. Most of the
damage was done In the interior and
exterior part In the rear.

the house again this morning about s
o'clock, but the firemen were able to
check its progress before much damage
resulted.

last night, Rose" the pet dog belong
ing to Company No. 1. was stepped
upon by one of the animals, and 1t
was found necessary to kill it, as its

JUDGE JONES DID NOT
REVERSE HIS JUDGMENT.
Simply Corrected Clerical Error,
SAYS Attorney.

Since It was not possible for him to
be in court Saturday when Attorney
Samuel J.. Macdonald made an ar
John A. Bernhard, attorney for the
plaintiff in the case, today sent the
following statement to the STAR. In
his belief all the facts were not
brought out at the hearing:
My attention has been called to an
STAR of Saturday, in which 1t was
stated that Samuel ]. Macdonald, an
applying to Chief Justice Gummere for
an order to review a judgment in the
case Of Cadmus VS.. Daniel Fee and
George Fisher, which was an action
which had been rendered In the Orange
District Court had been changed after
the same. had been duly entered and
an appeal had been taken. Mr.. Mac
ants, and J. appeared for the plaintiff.
The evidence produced at the trial
clearly showed that all of the %transac-
tions connected with this case were
between the plaintiff and tho defend
ant Fee, n that the defendant Fisher
had no direct connection whatever with
the matters in controversy. A judg.
ment was accordingly rendered against
Fee and a non-suit was allowed as to
Fisher. but through an error the names
of the defendants were transposed and
the judgment was enormously entered
against Fisher and a non-suit allowed
In favor of Fee. Upon learning of this
situation I called the attention OF
Judge n to it and he issued an or
der that the mistake be corrected, after
first calling MIR. Macdonald and myself
to his office to notify us of the fact
The question raised by Mr.. Macdonald
was, l presume, as to whether the
court had n jurisdiction to make any
entry therein was an obvious mistake
facts must have known.

ton is necessary excepting that I feel
that an injustice has been done to
Judge Jones, and I think It only fair
that all the facts in connection with
this case should now be stated.

ALARM DUE
To BROKEN WIRE,
EXPERT CLAIMS
Harrison "Yamps," Whose Pa
rade Was interrupted, Prob
ing Call from Factory.

Following what he claimed to be a
thorough inspection of the fre-alarm
wires ar the plant OF the Hyatt Roller
Bearing Company. Middlesex street.
Harrison, today. Joseph Siddall, super
~intendent of the New Jersey Fire
Alarm Company, declared that the
sending In of a false alarm Saturday
afternoon, when the hremen were
parading, was due TO a roKen wire.
Il have made a thorough investiga-
ton" said Mr.. Siddall. 1T appears
that some men were moving an APP
paratus and they did not realize that
in breaking the wire they were doing
any harm. They did not know that an
alarm had been sent in until the APP
paratus arrived at the plant"
A reporter who talked with Siddall
asked him If the breaking of a wire
would not result in only one tap of the
bell. Ordinarily it would" replied the
fre-alarm man. but in this case the
wire was broken at just such a point
as to cause a full alarm to go in. The
case is a most unusual one, but I feel
safe to say that the whole thing was
an accident" ne said.
Box No. 312 is a private one and
was installed at the Hyatt works at
the expense of the concern. 1t IA
SiddalI who did the installation work.
Cephas I. Shirley, ms of the officials
at the Hyatt plant. said today he re-
GREETED very much that the thing had
happened. He said il was purely acct
dental.
II Is understood that the fire de-
partment is to make a rigid investiga-
ton, and If necessary an expert will
be engaged.
When the fire bell sounded Saturday
the 'vamps'' were parading along
Fourth street in honor of the twenty
fifth anniversary celebration. On ac-
count Of the music the 1remen could
not make out just what box was
sounding. They started for box %,
but were later informed that the alarm
had come from the Hyatt company.
While bound for the factory, MEM
hers of Hose Company No. 8 had mar
row scapes from being injured. Jacob
Widemann had the reins in his hand.
and when near Bergen street a truck
UP in his way. He changed his
gong but the truck driver made no eff
fort to get out of the way. Widemann
applied his brakes and when a smashup
seemed inevitable he swung his horses
to the right, and in so doing sent his
wagon directly into a carriage owned
by DR.. A. A. Mulligan. Joseph Brad

could give deed to the property in ques-
ton such service, he would hold, was
good and on the right party. This
closed the motion on the part Of the
State.
Counselor Noonan, Of the Hudson
Board of Freeholders, then put a crimp
in further proceedings both to Hudson
and Bergen counties by showing that
service of the suit for condemnation of
property was not made on the Board of
Freeholders while in actual session.
and a new service will be made within
three weeks and all proceedings stayed
until the end Of that period.
Newark Raises objection.
Counselor Herbert Boggs. for the
city OF Newark, raised h question
hat the, lands in Belleville, sought to
be condemned by the government,
supplying the water supply of Newark.
it would be i%nequitable to allow any
other person or government to use
such lands now used for a similar
purpose.
He further set out that the legal ao-
ton of the government was really to
aid the receiver of a private corpora
ton, the Hudson Water Company, to
carry out q contract with the govern
ment and therefore the condemnation
power of the government should not
be used to aid a private corporation.
He held tina no bona-fde offer had been
made for the property wanted by the
government, and that the proper notice
bad not been given to the municipality
by summoning the mayor, the street
and water board, and he held that
~ oo,,noil II, oof11ol CaSCi0n must he
served In condemnation proceedings.
A further objection from Mr.. .Boggs
was that the bill OF the government
did not describe sufficiently the charac-
ter of the property wanted for the
| governments work.
Government Must BE Specific.
|. Judge Vreeland said the government
wanted only the waters from wells on
the lands of the Hudson Water Com
pany, not one drop from the lands OF
the city of Newark. The court directed
Judge, Vreeland to more clearly state in
an amended petition what the govern
ment wants. The court further thought
that the offering of $40 for the prop
! erty did not look like a definite at
tempt to agree, and he directed Judge
VreeIand to make g. better effort to
agree on a price, therefore this phase of
the case was continued three weeks.
Counselor Murphy, for the Newark
Street and Water Board, objected to
the procedure of the government in
Offering but $40 for the right of way
on the Newark streets. He said this
figure was not a bona-fide offer under
the statute Newark sewers might be
seriously interfered with and the price
was certainly insufficient.
This phase Of the matter was also
taken under further advisement. The
borough of North Arlington not being
represented, the right of way through
its streets also went off f,r three
weeks. Judge Rellstab has confirmed
the naming by Judge Vreeiaud of the
following commissioner 10 condemn
lands of the State for the Hudson
Water Company pipes: Ex-Congress-
man Marshall w. Van Wrinkle and
Cornelius J. Cronnin. of Bayonne, and
Charles Annett. of Jersey City. Attor-
ney-General Wilson said he was salts
