Thirty-six Chickens Burned

Thirty-siX chickens were roasted to

totally destroyed a chicken coop and
partially burned a wagon shed be-
longing to former Township Commit
teeman Matthew ". Hogan. of Trv-
ington avenue, South Orange, today;
but for the prompt response to the
alarm and good work on the part of
the members of the Ivy Hill Hose
Company the fine residence of Mr..
Hogan and one in which his sister.
Miss Elizabeth Hogan resides, would
probably have been destroyed. The
buildings are both within a few feet
of the burned structures.
Awakened at 4:30 o'clock by the
cracking sound. Mr.. Hogan and
members of his family arose to see
the outhouses in a mass of flames.
An alarm was sent in to fire head
quarters and the Ivy Hill company
was soon on the scene with a line of
1000 feet of hose. Though the wind
was tanning the flames toward the
two residences the volunteers man
aged to subdue the blaze after
stubborn fight. The water pressure
was sad to be excellent. which as
sisted the firemen materially. Sew
eral chicken incubators were de-
stroyed. The loss will run into sew
eral hundred dollars.
