of the sudden attack.
With Mrs. Hart when she was
stricken were her daughter, Miss
Madelyn Hart, and her cousin, Mrs.
Anna Thrall, of Brooklyn, with whom
she was dancing. 1t was the anly
dance of the evening" two-step-in

the dance.
Suddenly after declaring that she
had been stricken blind, Mrs. Hart
became unconscious. She was at

FEW MEN HEAR WITTPENN
AT WILSON LEAGUE EUCHRE

Introduced as a good looking
bachelor" Mayor H. Otto Wittpenn,
of Jersey City, addressed the crowd
at the euchre. which. was given in
the Orange Armory last night by the
Woodrow Wilson League Of that city.
He said he will be satisfied If
candidate other than himself is
elected Governor as long as he stands
for the principle of Woodrow Wilson.
There were comparatively few men
at the affair. Joseph Gasner who
presided, attributed the absence of
the men folk to the fact that Presi-
dent Wilson was in this city. He
predicted they would arrive after the
meeting, but only a few put in an
appearance. Dancing followed the
games. John L. Davis was chairman
of the committee in charge.

SAW DEAD MANS
SOUL FLY AWAY
Woman Said to Have Witnessed
Remarkable Scene at Rel
ative's Bedside.
WINGLIKE FORMS ISSUED
FROM FATHER-IN -LAW'SLIPS
Mrs. D. II. Baldwin, of Mont.
clair, Sure 1t Was No
HaIIucination.

Mrs. David II. Baldwin, of "a Chris
topher street, Montclair, is said to
have seen the soul of her father-in-
law. Nathaniel H. Baldwin, SO years
old. pass from his body at the time
of his death, on April 10. At her
home today it was said she has been
made Ill by the report of her vision.
While she would not deny that she
saw the soul pass from the body, she
said that hardly a minute particular
of the story as given was correct.
Mrs. Baldwin is said to have heard
noise in her father-in~law's room
about o'clock in the morning of
April TO- and when she entered she
was expecting no such thing as death.
He had been in the same condition
for many weeks.
His head was back on the pillow
and his eyes were partly open. She
adjusted the pillow and asked If she
could do anything else. He did not
answer, but his eyes closed as he
gave a gentle sigh of relief. and as his
features relaxed into most beautiful
smile his lips parted.
Then there issued from between his
lips a distinct and we'll defined shape.
AS the soul-for that she knows 1t
was-came from his lips it was in the
form of small butterfly, with beau
tiful wings. AS it emerged it assumed
a much larger form, beautiful and
graceful and so peaceful.
She reached out, it is said, involun-
tarily, to place her hands upon the
wings. They fluttered away from her.
The wings seemed to be connected.
but not attached to any body.
As she reached to place her hands
on the ascending wings, she realized
that her father-in-law was dying
that his spirit was leaving-and at
the same time she looked down upon
the bed and saw an angelic express
sion upon his face. Then she looked
back to continue her pursuit of that
fleeing soul, but it was gone. There
followed a sense of sanctified holiness
that cannot be described.

SMOKE COLUMN ALARMS
AN EXCITED RESIDENT

An immense column of smoke issu-
ing from the plane of the Irvington
Varnish and Insulator Company, in
Grove terrace, this morning caused an
excited resident in the neighborhood
to send in a call for the firemen.
There was no fire and the smoke soon
subsidized. A furnace frequently be-
comes overheated and causes the
clouds of smoth to issue forth. The
company is always able to handle the
situation.
A similar occurrence took place
early last evening when a man saw
smoke issuing from the cellar win
dews of house at IA Stanley street.
1t developed that the owner. Alex
ander Bell, was making fire in his
heater and apparently had the damp
ers in the pipe tightly closed. The
smoke could not go up the chimney

|NCEND|ARY FIRES .
AROUSE ORANGES
Police Hunting Man Who Start
ed Fourth Blaze in
Ten Days. &

Search is being made by the police
of Orange and West Orange for the
firebug, who, for the past ten days,
has kept the residents of the two
towns in the vicinity of South Jeffer-
son and Glebe streets in a state Of
terror. All doubt as to whether the
fires in that neighborhood were of in
cendiary origin or not were set at
rest last night, when the fourth oc-
CURED in the home of Frederick Coli
yer, Sc Glebe street.
Collyer's family were asleep on the
second floor of the house when the fire
started in the cellar. Had it not been
for passerby 1t might have gained
Roadway that would have cut off the
occupants of the second floor. The
stairs leading to the cellar were
ablaze. and after the fire had been ex-
tinguished by Collyer and the neigh
bors, a search was made which led to
the discovery of an empty bottle near
the stairway. The bottle had con-
tanned kerosene OIL
A peculiar feature of the firebug's
work is that each time he has select
ed an unoccupied building, and it is
believed that he did not know there
was anyone on the second floor of
the Glehe street address when he
started the fire last night. Despite
this ftct, the danger of communica-
ton has been sufficient to thoroughly
terrorize the citizens of the district.
Chief of Police John Drabell. OF
Orange, today tabulated half
dozen recent fires and found that all
were in the vicinity of fire alarm
boxes Nos. n and AZ in the Third
ward. Nearly all fires also happened
between 1912 and Ill a. m. The
fire last night was shortly after mid
night, and the West Orange fire on
Tuesday morning was soon after
o'clock. The most serious Of the fires
was the one in West Orange, where
three of Robert Landsperg's horses
we're suffocated.
