BROOKLYN BRIDGE JAMMED
Thousands Crowded on Artery of
Traffic Because of Fire.

NEW YORK. January 25.-Brooklvn
bridge was the scene last evening of one
OF the largest jams of humanity which
the structure has probably held since its
opening thirty years ago. at which time
dozen persons were crushed to death.
For fifty minutes during the rush hour
all traffic by rail was at standstill be-
cause of a small fire in a shed under the
bridge, which cut off the electric feed
wires temporarily.
From 100000 to 100000 persons were
massed at the New York terminal before
the jam was relieved. Many persons in
some of the crowded trains which pulled
into the terminal just as the flames be-
came threatening were forced to climb
out OF the windows and many women
were in state of panic. The subway
was so choked with crowds at the time
that probably c0.0OO persons walked the
mile-long bridge in the rain.

out a stranger came around the corner
of the house and all that burning grease
fell on him and he became pillar or
fire, and the way he yelled was a caution
to calliopes.
Father still had his presence OF mind.
and he seized the stranger by the coat
collar and pushed him over and began
rolling him In the snow. The stranger
thought he was being murdered. and he
kicked out with both feet, hitting father
in the stomach and knocking him over
against the house. where his head bump
ed the bricks so hard that he was stun
ned for a minute. Meanwhile the stran-
ger. who was screaming all the time. got
to his feet and rushed from the place,
and in an hour or two came back with
two policemen, and they fused and ar
gued for two hours before father could
convince them that he wasn't bent on
homicide. Father had put an advertiSe-
ment i'm the paper offering his farm Tor
sale, and the stranger had come to buy
il, but, of course, there was no trade
after that unfortunate accident.
You'd think that such an experience
would have discouraged father. but IL
didn't seem to make much OF an i'm
preston on him. The next day he In
vented some kind of a coffee pot that
was two feet high and fun or little tubes
and percolato tors and such things. He said
that coffee made by his process would be
the finest beverage In the world. He was
sitting by the stove. with his feet in the
oven. explaining all this to me, when the
coffee pot boiled over and the coffee ran
down on his legs. 1t was hotter than
melted lead, and he made one spring from
the kitchen doorstep to a snow bank
across the yard and stood there bowling
and rubbing his legs with snow until all
the neighborS came over to see what the
trouble was. You'd never guess what his
next experience was.
