Though Fire Chief O'Hara had
arrangements with the Lehigh VAL
ley Railroad to use their fire tugs,
when he tried to get them through
the local Office they were away The
chief had Assistant Chief Volts
check telephone the Raritan Copper
Works to give the fire call for the
itugs, which is two long and three
short blasts. In response TO this
Mr.. O'Hara was notified by the com
pany that the fire tugs were away.
Though the Mcclellan and Garfield
engines are capable of pumping salt
water without serious injury to
them, there was no boat to take
them out to the river. The chief
saw that the rampage Of the flames,
which had made rapid headway,
could not be checked until they con-
sumed what material was in their
way, so most of the fremen became
only spectators of the big blaze.
Mr.. Gregory had returned about
o'clock last night from an all-day
automobile trip through Barnegat
and other places to his home at 1877
High street. He had been celebrat-
ing the anniversary of his birth with
C. d. Boynton, F. ]. Cox, Harry
Conard and D. G. Chase, superin-
tendent of the Pennsylvania towing
line. He was about to retire after
days outing when he received
word from the watchman of his old
boats that there seemed to be a
fire in one of the ferryboats. Mr..
Gregory telephoned the police that
there might be a fire and a patrol
man was sent to investigate. With
his son Mr.. Gregory hurried down
to the shore and securing boat,
started out to the craft, on which
he saw what seemed to be a small
fire. Suddenly it broke out from
the middle of the boat, and he re-
turned to shore and sent his son to
call the police station to have an
alarm sent in.
Mr.. Gregory then rowed out to the
craft to see if the end light was pro-
perly nlaced. He found it in a con IL
tion that could not possibly start the
fire. The alarm was given from box
27 at Madison avenue and Paterson
street, which brought the firemen
and a huge crowd of people to the
shore Mr. Gregory seeing that his
huge derrick, located near the blaze,
was in danger, came ashore and tela-
! phoned the Pennsylvania towing line
at South Amboy for a tug to pull the

tug arrived but before a large enough
hawser could be attached the tide
had fallen, grounding the derrick

which apparently comes from
personal observation:

Stormy Times Fore
casted for Assembly

Columbia, SC. Preparations
have already begun for the
gathering Of the general assem-
bly, which convencs the second
Tuesday in January. for ses-
sion Of forty days. Predictions
are being made that the ap
preaching session is going to
outrival the stormy scenes OF
the 1912 general assembly, when
that body and Governor Blease
locked horns in a bitter struggle
which saw it's elimination in
the sensational campaign of
1912.
Six vacancies have occurred
in the lower branch since it last
met, the most important, from
Il political standpoint, being the
death of George Il. Rcmbert,
who served as administration
leader. His death leaves the
minority without a leader. but
it is thought tn; Representa-
tive G. G. Wychc will succeed
to Mr.. Rembert's place and
stand on the firing line at the
head Of the minority friendly to
Governor Blcasc.
Not a single death has oc-
Cured among the forty four
members of the senate.
This being the second session
of the present legislature and
the last before the campaign of
next summer it is predicted that
politics is going to consume
much of the time Of the law
makers. Both bodies are anti
BIcase, the senate by two thirds
ard the house by majority.
Friction between Governor
Blease and his house leaders on
,hc close of the last session
caused his machine to disinte-
CRATE and his vetoes were over
ridden by greater majorities
than in the previous legislature.
However, the opening days of
the session are not. likely to see
much fighting between the fac
