{. G. FRASER
TO Be CHOSEN
Report He Will BE- Reaopoini-
ed on Water Board.

1t was learned today on excellent
authority that Edwin G. Fraser, Dem
ccrat, will re-apopinted to the Board
of Water Commissioners by the
Board of Aldermen when his term ex-
pires on January 1, 1918. The re-
appointment OF Commissioner Fra
ser, If such event transpires, will not
affect the present politics Of the
board, which stands solid Demo-
cratic with Ave votes. cast by the fol-
lowing: President c. D. Snedeker, C.
C. Sibley, Thomas Grieve, w. Parker
Runyon and Mr.. Fraser. 1t is coDsid-
cred honorary position, although
the salary of commissioner is 5000
per year.
The re-appointments of Commits
sioner Fraser will not break the tie
now existing in the water board over
the appointment of new water su-
perintendent, which has been
"hold-oyer" position for the last nine
months. Superintendent A. H. Gro
well, Republican. has held the posi-
tion since March 1, 1912, or there
abouts, because the solid Democratic
board can not agree upon any good
per year position. Several Demo-
Gratis have been mentioned for the
position, but, for various reasons,
no appointment / been made. 1t
is a plum the Democrats desire to
distribute to worker, but each
member of the board has his own
idea of the worker desired appoint
ed, it is understood.
1t has been said that w. Parker
Runyon, the commissioner named
last year by the democratic Board of
Aldermen, has held up the appoint
ment, through his influence with
President c. D. Snedeker and another
member of the board. Inasmuch as
Mr.. Runyon's close personal friend,
Garret Brodhead, was named by the
Democrats for mayoralty honors. it is
safe to presume that the situation
will be cleared up In the next few
weeks. with the commissioners unit
ed upon one aspirant for this Gov
eted position.

JAS. PATEMAN
BADLY INJURED
Breaks Two Ribs in Fall
Over Lumber Pile.

Captain James w. Pateman, sew
enty-two years old, veteran of the
Civil War. is confined to his home at
IL Smith street, with two broken
ribs, as the result of fall over a
pile of lumber in front of the new
garage that Is being crested by G. A.
Sexton, adjoining the home of Mr..
Pateman in Smith street.
The accident happened about 6
o'clock last night, when Mr.. Pateman
was returning from an errand in the
upper part of Smith street. The side
walk at that place has been torn up
for some time and the street has
been piled with timber for several
weeks.
Captain Pateman, when seen this
morning, said there was no light on
the lumber and he did not see the
end of it until he fell. He was able
to get up stairs to his home, where
he was attended by DR.. c. w. Naulty
Jr. His left arm was also cut and
bruised from the fall On account
OF his age. Captain Pateman will
probably be laid up for some time.
]. N. Wester has the contract for
erecting the garage. There is a
light placed on a heap of sand there
every night, but that is a considera-
BILE distance from the lumber pile.

FIRE DESTROYS PLANT
OF VULCAN DEFINING
COMP PANYAT SEWAREN
Spectacular Blaze About II O'clock
Last NIGHT Damage Estimated at
S45,OOO--WiI| Rebuild at Once.
AMBOY FIREMEN ON THE SCENE

whose new plant adjoins the Vulcan
works on the south, became alarmed.
Joseph Massopust, of State street,
also thought the new works were in
danger and telephoned TO Acting
Mayor Garretson to have the local
fre department render aid. A few
minutes later the manager of the
Electric Smelling & ALUMINIUM Com
pany telephoned to the acting mayor.
He notified Police Sergeant Mulligan
at 1895 O'Clock to call out Lincoln
engine Company with steamer and
nose apparatus to go to Sewaren and
also to notify Chief Engineer Frank
Comings.
A 22 alarm was sounded at mid
night, summoning the Lincoln mem
bers to give aid with steamer and
additional hose. They lost no time
in getting on the scene. When they
arrived they found the Woodbridge
department was connected with tho
only available plug. They were ask
ed to pump salt water from Wood
bridge creek, but this could not be
done because the new steamer was
not equipped with a water tank to
feed itself. 1t could have been used
had they been supplied with gar
den hose to feed the boiler, but this
was not available. First Assistant
Chief O'Eara and Chief Comings
were on the scene. The former said
today that had it been known that
the local firemen had to use salt
water the Mcclellan steamer would
have been used.
Chief Henry b. Mawbey, of the
Woodbridge fire department, very
courteously thanked the local fire.
men for their efforts. Together With
other firefighters he did not feel dis
posed to lose time by letting the Lin
coin members connect their steamer
with the streams already in use as
the pressure was sufficient.
A number Of Woodbri lge firemen
brayed the dangers of falling parTs-
of buildings and box cars and exper-
fenced narrow escapes from injury,
but so far rs. can be learned no one
was hurt. Theodore Vehrer was the
leader of one crew who fought the
flames in a box car and narrowly
missed being crushed when the car
collar sed.
= eials of the Vulcan plant would
say little about the fire today and re-
fuse all persons permission to see
the ruins. superintendent John G..
Walker, along with other officers, re-
fused to state the amount of damage,
stating it would not be known until
the ruins had been viewed by insur-
ance adjusters
1t was the third fire at the Vulcan
works within a few years. About
two years ago the Woodbridge de-
partment was called out to battle
with terrific blaze In the sash
weight department. Heavy damage
was thereby incurred.
Officers Of the company located in
New York viewed the ruins this
morning and are making preliminary
plans for rebuilding.
Officials would not comment upon
a report that $4,000, on hand for
payment of employees today. contain
ed in q small safe in the Office of the
Old works, was probably destroyed.

GET LANTERN
AS A TROPHY
Local Fir men Have One
on Woodbridge Company.

Endeavoring to replenish their tro-
ply case with articles stolen from
fires and fellow companies, several
local firemen while lighting the blaze
at the Vulcan DEFINING Works last
night, secured a new brass lantern,
which is now safely tucked away in
the headquarters of Lincoln Engine
Company. Several minutes previous
to the departure of the local com
panies for their headquarters several
of the Woodbridge laddies missed the
lantern and at once decided that the
Amboy men were the guilty ones,
Cries of 1--WE know who has the
lantern" and threats of revenge by
several of the Woodbridge laddies
came after a certain young man from
Perth Amboy had distanced them and
got away with the loot. 50 aroused
was the ire of several OF the Wood
bridge firemen after the discovery or
the trick that they threatened TO
have warrants issued against for
mer newspaper man, who is respon-
sible for the act. With the coveted
prize in one hand, and preceding the
horses of Lincoln Engine Company
the so-called mischief maker got
away from the crowd and sought
safety in the shed near the Wood
bridge Creek bridge
The local firemen, remembering
how the Woodbridge laddies aided
the Fords bunch in securing the tri
angle, turned the tables last night
just to keep up the friendly rivalry.

Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-11-09

A block of frame factory buildings
comprising the old plant of the Vul-
can DEFINING Company at Sewaren
were destroyed with their contents
in fire which caused damage to the
extent of about $4,000 late last
night. The buildings, which were
fourteen and half years old, burned
rapidly, but the Woodbridge fire de-
partment worked we'll. The entire
old plant with the exception OF a
small power station, located north of
the new conduit block and brick fac
tory, was totally destroyed. Only
when the flames had consumed most
of the surrounding woodwork and
became powerless to penetrate the
fireproof walls of the power station
and the new works did they subside.
Lincoln Engine Company sent its
steamer and hose apparatus to the
scene about midnight, but they were
not used. The Woodbridge fire de-
partment wanted full honors of
handling the fire, and therefore
Perth Amboy firemen were not per-
mitted to connect and go to work
when they arrived after they had
been twice summoned, they claim
Members of the local fire department
are incensed over the treatment and
assert the day is far distant upon
which they will again attempt to aid
the Woodbridge fire department.
The fire started in the boiler room
in a fireproofed building, about Ii
o'clock, presumably from excessive
heat from boiler near some wood
work, 1t consumed portion of the
roof and spread rapidly about the
old plant. The center of the old
works burned rapidly, destroying
the large tank room, hydraulic de-
Dartment and contents, which includ
ed much valuable machinery, some
of which was new. 1t spread TO sur
rounding one-story frame structures
and burned them to the ground, to-
gethef with four boy cars located on
a railroad siding in the works. The
Woodbridge department had seven
streams on the blaze soon after the
members arrived. They assert the
department did excellent work in
saving the power plant and the un-
loading room.
The flames were discovered by
Night Watchman Bower while on his
II O'Clock round. He Immediately
notified five workmen in the plant
and sounded the factory whistle,
giving the regular fire alarm. A
double alarm was given and the
Woodbridge flremen made good
headway in reaching the scene. The
factory water pump worked overtime
giving water pressure for the seven
streams that were in use. 1t was
used until destroyed by the flames.
Word was then telephoned to the
Middlesex Water Company, which
was asked to give the Sewaren dis
trict increased pressure, and within
fifteen minutes after the pump had
ceased to operate the regular water
service was given boost in pressure
to nearly eighty pounds, thereby
materially aiding the firefighters.
When the flames rose high and so
illuminated the sky as to be seen for
miles around, officials of the Electric
Smelling & Aluminium Company,

FREIGHT TRACKS LIKELY
Say Present Station Is as
Good as Those of Other
Railroads Here.

Double freight tracks may be laid
along the line of the New York and
Long Branch and Central railroad
lines from Long Branch to Sewa ,
as the result of decision by railr
officials while on their annual t,
of inspection through here yesterday
afternoon. They viewed the Central
railroad station here and the general
opinion among them seemed to be
that the depot was as good as others
along the line and that there was
therefore no urgent need for q new
one.
c. P. Huntington, general super
intendent J. S. Osgood, chief engi-
neer; w. c. Hope. general passenger
agent and local Agent Garis, of the
Central Railroad OF New Jersey, com
prised the inspection party here. The
officials viewed the local station with
consideration OF the public cries that
have been made for new one. They
found it as seryiceable as the other
stations In this section and could see
Of no immediate need for new
depot. They toured over the railroad
line and viewed the roadbed and
practically decided upon establish
ment of two more tracks alongside
of the present double line Of combin-
ed passenger and freight tracks, 80
that the passenger and freight traf-
ic would each have q set of north
and southbound tracks. Thereby one
class of traffic would not hinder the
other and less accidents would be
likely.
1t was not definitely decided how
far the double line should extend, but
it is thought It will be laid from Long
Branch to South Amboy and from
Raritan river to Sewaren to meet the
new freight line completed here.
The officials arrived here about
noon yesterday and spent most of the
afternoon going over the line be-
tween this city and Sewaren.
