Aldermen.

New York, Sept. l2.-The death of
Mayor Gaynor automatically trans
ferred the office of mayor to Col. Ar
dolph L. Kline, Republican, president of
the board of aldermen. Colonel Kline
took the oath of office late yesterday

board of estimate together to lay plans

predecessor.
Mayor Kline then declared that dur
ing his short term of office, which will
terminate on Jan. |, 1914, he would
carry out the policies of Mayor Gaynor,
so far as he knew them.
While messages of sympathy from
local political leaders from all parts of
the country poured into the mayors of
flee in the city hall and at the Gaynor
home at st. James, Long Island, the
heated municipal campaign came to a
sudden stop, although many confer
ences were held to review the sudden
change which Mayor Gaynors death

Gov. Foss in an address before the
Worcester Chamber of Commerce last

"The bankers and trunk lines that

so called Pujo investigating committee

times and forces the roads to pay al

Gov. Foss declared that the time had
come when the Nominations of private

AS Flames Were ,vered

~
3 BUILDINGS BURNED,
OTHERS THREATENED
After Hard Fight Village
Was Saved from Con-
fiagration

White River Junction, Sept PA
fire which is believed to have been of in
cendiary origin destroyed the old fork
factory and sawmill and gristmilI
and endangered the wooden mill in the
village Of Hartford early this morning
causing loss estimated between $1,000
and $4,000, partially covered by insur-
ance.
The fire was discovered shortly after
two o'clock in the handling room of the
fork factory and Station Agent Briggs,
who was one of the first to see the fire.
says he saw two men in the room where
the flames broke out, the place being IL
Illuminated well. He did not recognize
either of them. The fire was burning
near the chimney. The factory had not
been occupied for nearly dozen years,
and there was no waste material in the
building; so il is thought that inham-
mable material must have been brought
in with which to kndle the fire.
The flames spread rapidly and within
short time had communicated to the
two mills next adjoining, they being en-
yeloped in fire within a short time. The
Hartford woolen min Is located nearby,
and the fire fighters from Hartford VIII
lage, as well as the fremen from this
village, were forced to fight hard in
order to save that property. Several
small tenements are also located in the
vicinity and they were in danger of de-
struction too The family occupying
one of them was forced to vacate has
tily. A building located just across the
street and used as storehouse was con-
siderably seorched
However, the fremen were favored
with clear night, there being little or
no wind, so that the flames were not
carried far, and within an hour the dan
ger of a confagration had been averted-
The burned buildings were the prop
erty Of Jones & Fogg of Enfield, n. H.
The old fork factory was one of the.
landmarks of the village, having been
built in 1901 and being, therefore, ll6
years old. 1t had been given up for fac
tory purposes for about a decade. The
grist and saw mills were not in opera
tion at the present time, so no one was
thrown out of employment by the fire.

of the late mayor of New York, sent the
following message by wireless to the

eleven minutes past one o'clock on We'd
nesday afternoon. His death was due to
heart failure and he was seated in his
chair when the end came The deck

moments before his death and had taken
his order for lunch, the mayor marking
the menu to indicate the dishes he de-
sired.

low at the lunch call TO tell my father
that his lunch was ready. He had been
taking his meals in one OF the state
rooms and he was seated in his chair,
apparently asleep. / shook him gently
but he did not respond
"His trained nurse, who had been with
him 10 minutes previously, was sum
moned and the ships surgeon was called.
The mayor was given a hypodermic in
lection and artificial respiration was re-
sorted to but it was quickly apparent
that he was beyond aid. An examina-
tion with stethoscope showed that the
heart was no longer beating. The body
was taken in charge by ships officers,
embalmed and placed in a sealed easket.
"On the morning of his death the
mayor arose at about nine o'clock and
after a hearty breakfast went on deck

he watched the men 90 through the fire

descended to the promenade deck and
went to his chair, remarking that he
felt very we'll
During the voyage his health had
steadily improved and his nervousness
had decreased noticeably. He took
great deal of interest in the run of the
ship day by day and he was particular
to know just where the Baltic was when
the chart was posted in the companion
way each noon.

my debt to the passengers |
