EARLY BLAZE
IN T0TTENVILLE
Fire Almost Destroyed Old
House This Morning.

Fire of an incendiary origin prac-
ticahy destroyed a two and a half
story frame house in Lehlgh avenue,
Tottenyille, early this morning. The
building, which was situated on a
hill near the water tower Of the Tot
tenville water works, was known as
the Hopping house, which the late
Samuel Hopping owned and occupied
for a number of years. William H.
b. Totten, a former president of the
Irving National Bank, Manhattan,
was the present owner. 1t Is esti-
mated that the damage done by the
fire will reach $4,000, which is COW
cred by insurance. An alarm was
sent In from box SO at Amboy and
Sprague avenues, followed by an
other from box 81 and box %. The
firemen of 101 hook and ladder and
201 engine, under Captain Thomas
Gavin and Lieutenant John J. Allen,
responded, but the building, which
Vas unoccupied, was a mass of
flames when they reached there. On
account Of the building being situat-
ed ON the high hill the flames could
be seen for miles around. The en-
tire roof of the building and the
interior was Quilted, with practically
nothing but the exterior standing.
The fremen returned to quarters at
4 o'clock. The building is believed
to have been set on fire as no one
has lived there in some time.

pS~tN nv
Keyport, Sept. 9:-The steamboat
Keansburg on the $50 p. m. trip
from New York city Friday ran
aground on the fats north of the old
railroad pier about 1880 p. m, after
she had made her landing at Keans-
burg and was proceeding to her dock
at this place.
Being considerably off her course
and running hard aground, while the
tide was going out, 1t WAS impossi-
Bile for the skipper to get his boat
off. The boat was not t1oated until
nearly midnight, and landed her pas
sengers about II o'clock, who were
hungry and fatigued by their en-
forced stay on the water.
A number of the passengers were
taken off the stranded steamer by
their friends, who went off to the
boat in launches and row boats.
Owing to the boat leaving here at
s p. m. for a return trip to New
York, there were on board a num-
Der of city people who left on the af-
ternoon boat for the sail. After
landing the passengers here, the
boat was again headed for the city
to return these passengers and get
her freight, returning to the wharf
here at about 5 a. m. Saturday.
