UNION SERVICE
OF 2 CHURCHES
Baptist and Methodist Unite
for the Summer.

The year 1909 witnessed a series
of summer union services in this
city, which were much enjoyed and
well attended throughout. 1t has not
seemed possible to have them again
until this year, when the Simpson
Methodist Episcopal and the First
Baptist churches will unite for the
ten Sundays from June 20 to August
81, inclusive. The two churches are
very near each other, SO that the
union will be convenient to the two
congregations.
These union services will COM
mence next Sunday and will be held
for this first service in the Simpson
Methodist Episcopal church, at High
and Jefferson streets the preacher
being DR.. William e. Palmer. Dur
ing the month of July the Sunday
services and the Wednesday evening
meetings will be held in the First
Baptist church in Fayette street near
High, with Rev, William H. Bawden
in charge. Diking the month of
August the Sunday services and the
Wednesday evening meetings will be
held In the Simpson Methodist
church, with Dr. William E. Palmer
in charge.
The morning service will COM
mence promptly at 1920 and close
equally promptly at 11:45. The
evening services will be vesper SER
vices, exactly sixty minutes in length,
between the hours of 7 and o'clock.
Note this change from the usual hour
of evening service. The Wednesday
evening meetings will commence
promptly at 7;45. and last for one
hour. Note the little earlier hour.
During July Mr.. Bawden, who re-
sides at 133 Gordon street, will re-
spond to all calls for pastoral SER
vice for both congregations, q SER
vice that will be rendered during
August by DR.. Palmer, who resides
at 331 High street.
The public generally are cordially
invited to avail themselves of the op
portunity afforded for Christian fell
lowship and worship during the sum
mer.

CRECORY'S OLD BOATS
FUEL FOR HUGE FIRE
$4,000 Loss at Spectacular Blaze
EarIv This Morning believe That
EnemV of Owner Fired Place
FERRYBOAT WARREN CONSUMED

For the second time within eight
years, fire believed to be of an in
cendiary origin, again caused dam
age to the extent of about $4,000 at
the marine graveyard of the Gregory
Wrecking and Contracting Company
at the foot of Madison and Brighton
avenues this morning. 1t was dis
covered at 2:25 o'clock and from
that time on burned very rapidly,
consuming the most valuable boats
and equipment in the works. Fire
men did good work under prevailing
conditions, saving the greater pOT-
tion of vessels. The vessels contain
ing stocks of the very best machinery
and wrecHng equipment in possess
sion of the Gregory concern, were the
first to go. The fire started on the
steamer Fairfield, one of the three
vessels which contained a dynamo,
engines, pumps and other valuable
machinery. 1t burned out the CEN
trail portion of the graveyard, leaving
wall of less valuable vessels about
it.
Just as though the person who
threatened John II. Gregory after the
last fire, had carried out his threat,
the fire occurred at the time when
the yard was we'll stocked with ves-
sells and auxiliary equipment. A fire
of unknown origin caused damage
to the extent of about $4,000 at
Mr.. Gregory's marine yard at the
same location about o'clock in the
evening of July 4th. 1905. The fire
then started on the steamer Drew
and bsrned rapidly, as did the one
this morning. Shortly after that Mr.
Gregory received an anonymous let
ter, informing him that there would
be furthey ft~truction of his property
by fire when he had accumulated an
other large lot. The accumulation
had been especially great of late and
strange to say the stock was larger
previous to fire today than 1t had
been perhaps in the history of the
business
The principal loss occurred by the
destruction of the firms light ship,
the Fairfield and the old Perth Am
boy and Tottenville ferryboat War
rem and the equipment they contain
ed. Other vessels destroyed inciud-
| ed the side-w wheeler steamship John
| II. Starr, the ste2mer Hudson City,

WANT TWELVE
FIRE WARDENS
Chief O'Hara VIII Try to
Secure Increase.

In the opinion Of Chief Engineer
William p. O'Hara there should be at
least three times as many fire war
dens in the city as it now has. There
are at present four. Mr.. O'Hara
claims twelve would make 1t better,
and eighteen would be ideal, His
reasons are the far-reaching powers
of fire wardens asd the perplexity
and seriousness of some questions
which they are required to solve.
Under the law the city can have at
least twelve fire wardens, one for
each ward, Chief O'Hara believes.
He says steps should be taken TO in
crease the membership of the board
to at least that number. 1t is likely
that he will take the subject up with
the proper authorities in an effort
to have his idea carried out. The
men now serving are James NJ. Glenn,
William II. Mccormick James Dun
ham and Herbert Dayton.
Advancement of the suggestion
was made by reason of the fact THAI
the fire wardens are now strainiLg
a cord In an effort to decide upon
the desirability of having the upper
floor of the former auditorium build
ing In New Brunswick avenue used
as a theatre. The principal objec-
ton is the location of a garage on
the ground floor. Several meetings
have been held and another is sched-
uled for o'clock tomorrow after
noon,

GET GANG OF
WIRE THIEVES
Five Boys are Held for the
Juvenile Court

Repeated thefts Of copper wire
and cable to the value of approx
mately $1,000 from the G. Pardee
works, resulted in the arrest of sew
eral boys yesterday. They pleaded
guilty and are being held in default
of bail to await arraignment before
Judge DAILY in the Juvenile court to-
morrow morning. Six boys, ranging
in age from thirteen to sixteen years,
were arrested. One was discharged.
Joseph Woltz, arrested together with
Andrew Garst, on Tuesday for num-
erous thefts, is claimed by the police
to be the leader of the wire thief
gang. He is being held in default Of
bail in the amount of $500 on the
charge of stealing wire, on complaint
of James H. McCRbe, of the Pardee
works.
The following are being held in
default OF bail in the amount of
$500: Andrew Gazek, fifteen years
old, of 381 Fayette street; Alec Mol
mar, fourteen years old, of 33S Gift
ford street; Mike Hollis, fifteen years
old, of 358 Fayette street; John Eide,
sixteen years old, of 319 Fayette
years old, of 349 Fayette street, They
were rounded up by Detectives Huff
and Long.
The wire and cable in question
was taken from q store house on the
Pardee grounds near Fayette and
Sheridan streets. Mr.. McCabe testi-
fed that one bundle of No. 6 COZ
wire, weighing about 250 pounds had
been dragged down Sheridan street to
the county bridge, where the track
was lost sight of. Young Woltz, pop
ularly known as Soldier" among his
pals had little to say to the court
until he found that his bail was
heaviest He then accused the other
boys of trimming" him in making
divisions of spoils. The court re-
marked it could not understand how
the boys who had brains to steal
would think of taking wire valued at
1000 and selling 1t to a junkman
for O few dollars. The boys admit
ted having received AMOUNTS ranging
from 50 to $6 following the sale of
the loot.

CHARM FROGS
WITH VIOLIN
Summer Resident of Helmetta
Makes Big Catch
special to the EVENING NEWS.

Helmetta, June 26:-That the
musical attainments of Joseph Ryan,
summer resident of this place,
would be the means of bringing
fame and possibly no small fortune
to him unexpectedly, was the furth-
est thought from that gentleman 8
mind when he took his violin with
him along the banks of Lake Mar
guerite yesterday when he went fish
ing. He is talented violinist and
always takes his violin along to
while away the time when nibbles
become scarce.
AS things terminated Joseph has
already received an offer to come to
Spring Lake and ply his trade as an
expert in his new art following the
magic spell that his playing put on
the fish in general and more SO the
frogs that inhabit the shallow waters
of Lake Marguerite. That his magic
fiddle held a spell that made frogs
helpless while he went from hassock
to hassock and filled his creel was a
revelation even to himself until he
realized the magnitude of his catch.
In all this follower of Walton bagged
twenty-five frogs weighing an aver
age of one pound and a quarter.
Bites were scarce and Ryan took
out his fiddle and In initiating the
below of the native frog seen in an
instant that numerous huge fellows
made their appearance about him
and he cautiously made his way to-
ward them and caught them with
the bare hand SO transfixed were
they from the strains he brought
from the fiddle.
Now his fame has gone broadcast
and knowing that his fiddle has taken
the place of the flute of the Pied
Piper of centuries ago, who charmed
rodents with his playing, he has
been invited to Spring Lake to rid
that section of frogs who have made
life miserable by their believing
every night. This nuisance has be-
come so vital that many summer
residents have threatened to remove
to other quarters unless the authori-
ties make some move to do away
with the nuisance.
With the setting of the sun the
believing of the thousands of frogs
commences and is continual until al
most the rising of the sun. With

the residents of the shore town will
now await hsi coming.
Mr.. Ryan Is native of Cincinnati,
where he Is a successful business
man residing at 1906 Western ave-
nue.. He has made this place his
summer home for the past two sum-
mers. This is the first time that he
has ever made a haul 80 great in
one day of this toothsome fish. In
all his catch weighed thirty-three
pounds.

sold; a barge containing a derrick
and two other barges bearing num-
bers instead of names.
Mr. Gregory stated today the DAM
age incurred a total loss to the con-
Germ as there was not a cents worth
insurance on the stock destroyed. He
nearly suffocated in his endeavors to
save a valuable diving outfit 0a the
light ship. He managed to save most
of it and threw some other valuable
machinery overheard to save it from
destruction by fire. Through his
foresight and request, the firemen
shifted operations from the foot of
Madison avenue to the end of Brigh-
ton avenue and thereby saved much
valuable property. Chief Engineer
William O'Hara made vain endeavors
to have tugs secured from South
Amboy to fight the flames from the
southerly side ad to protect xessels
which might start to drift. His eff
forts proved futile, for tug owners
would not chance to send their yes
sells into such shallow water as ex-
lists about the Gregory yard.
The fire proved a difficult one to
fight. Steamers were used to good
advantage to establish enough force
to reach the outlying vessels. Under
control taps were sounded at A :05
o'clock this morning, but the ruins
were still smoldering at late hour
today. Chief O'Hara with squads of
men remained on duty all of the fore
noon fighting small flames in hooks
and corners of the vessels.
Mr.. Gregory arose to aid in the
fre-fighting. His strenuous efforts
tired him. His disgust arose as he
saw his property go up in flames and
he thought of opposition which had
been made against his establishment
and he retired, feeling that he did
not care how heavy the loss might
become. When seen this morning he
spoke freely of the opposition voiced
against his wrecking establishment
at the banquet to Acting Governor
James f. Fielder on Monday night.
He thought that he conducted his
business in a thoroughly honest and
legitimate manner and failed to un-
derstand why there should be any
criticism heaped upon him for occu-
/ pying his own property and pefh2Fa
littel of the states shen SO many
others encroached on state rights.
He stated that he owned $50 feet OF
