FIRE ALARM
MIXED WITH
LIGHT WIRE
Caused Much Confusion in
the Fire Houses Last Night
When Bell Sounded
FIREkEN OUT ON LONG
USELESS CHASE

The fire house janitors were sore
ly perplexed about $50 o'clock last
night when the fire alarm bell began
to ring in an unusually fast and
erratic strain in company with the
fire whistles, which had caught the
same spell. The indicator of the
Eagle Hose and Chemical Company
showed alarm box No. so, and the
faithful firemen had a useless run
to Hall avenue and Inslee street.
The Garfield's indicator showed
alarm box No. 81, and members of
that valiant company had a vain
run to Neville and Johnstone streets.
The trouble was caused by sag
ging electric arc light wire of the
Public Service came in contact with
one of the wires of No. 8 fire alarm
circuit in Prospect street. The in
dicator in the Eagle Hose and Chemi-
cal Company on No. circuit was
burned out, and about forty lights
on that circuit of the Public Serv-
ice Company were put out of com
mission. City Electrician Jay b.
FRANKIE, with his assistants, imme-
diately repaired and readjusted the
wires, and had No. 8 system in OPP
Grafton by 1890 o'clock.

by two other such craft, towed the
Minerva to deeper water.
Many of the excursionists, not
knowing how long the boat would
be in the sand, accepted the invita-
ton of some Industrious motor boat
owners and went ashore, paying the
tax of twenty-five cents each. They
then went home by trolley.
After leaving New Brunswick the
excursion boat reached the steam
boat dock here about 4;45, after
which it made the trip to Coney Is
lnad up the sound by the inside
route In easy fashion, arriving at the
pleasure rendezvous on schedule
time. The boat blew its last signal
whistle for the reluctant merry max
ers at II O'Clock, but some had not
yet become surfeited with the alb
sorbing gala attractions of the Isle
of all Isles and there were several
on shore vainly waving as the steam
boat sailed out of sight. The jour
ney was made without mishap until
the ill-fated craft struck the sand
bar, which detained the passengers
on board "all night long"

DOWN STAIRS
Michael BarIason Meets With
Painful Accident at His
Home In Kesns Street
SIX STITCHES NEEDED TO
CLOSE WOUND

Falling downstairs, Michael Barle-
son, four years, of Keene street,
clenched the end of his tongue be-
tween his teeth, and when he struck
the floor his teeth bit three-quarters
of an inch of the tongue from the
rest of the organ, Saturday evening.
The short strip of the flabby flesh
hung to the rest Of the member by
only minute fibers of flesh. Six
stitches were later taken by DR.. G..
w. Tyrell to re-attach the adjoining
parts of the organ. This Is one OF
the most unusual cases which the
local medical fraternity have known.
No instance can well be recalled
where the tongue was severed In
such a manner requiring six stitches
to rejoin it.
The little boy had started down
a pair Of steps at his home, and
when about half way to the next
floor he tripped, landing with a
shock on the floor below. The back
of his head struck a wall nearby,
which forced his teeth tightly and
quickly together. The organ was
partially out of the child's mouth,
and the sharp incisors cut the mem
Der in twain almost with the same
precision as shears.

More than fifty persons from this
place. who had participated in the
Jr. o. U. A. M. excursion Saturday
afternoon, weary after an all night
long stay on the steamer Minerva,
arrived at this city about o'clock
yesterday morning. They brought
back with them memories of near
panic, which resulted when the
pleasure boat went aground near
Elizabethport about ~ 80 a. m.
There were approximately 1880
on the boat from this place and
New Brunswick, whence the voyager
began Its journey. Many of them
were women, who when the boat
went aground, thought that 1t was
going to sink and became almost
hysterical and even a number of men
began seizing life preservers. Pan
demonium existed when the boat
with sudden shock grounded on a
sand bar. After being assured that
the boat had not sprung a leak and
was only fast for while, the nerves
OF the timid became more at ease,
and the orchestra struck up some
reassuring airs that sounded more
like rag time than a requiem. Not
until full tide, about 3 o'clock did

the way, the Powers today face a
more serious Turkish problem be-
cause of the treaty's provisions. The
