EARLY MORNING
FIRE THREATENS
GREAT DAMAGE

A row of frame store and tene-
ment buildings in State street, Just
north of DeKalb avenue, were saved
from destruction about 5 o'clock this
morning, when the f1remen quickly
checked spreading of the flames,
which gutted the laundry shop of
Charles Young and ate the heart out
of that section of a one-story struct-
ure, including fruit store, tailor
shop and a photographers gallery.
Two-story frame buildings ad-
joined the one-story structure, and
were occupied by several families
The flames we're practically confined
to the four walls of the laundry,
though when the fire was discovered
the whole shop was ablaze. The to-
tai damage is estimated at between
$500 and $1,000. The building is
owned by C. P. Convery, covered by
insurance The stock of a fruit
store, conducted by George Gualano,
next to the laundry, was damaged by
flames, smoke and water. The pro-
prietor was insured fully, carrying
5000. Smoke and water caused
slight damage in the tailor shop of
D. Salmon, on the north side of the
laundry, and to the Henry Studio. 4"
Mr.. Salmon carried no insurance but
the studio was insured The stock
of washed and unwashed laundry of
the Chinaman was destroyed, as was
his laundry paraphernalia. He car
ried no insurance.
Max Goldberg, of 424 Division
street, was standing in front of Bell
kove's wholesale house, just south of
DeKalb avenue, when he saw smoke
arise from the laundry and flames
,belch forth from the front. He gave
the alarm from box 46 at State and
Washington streets. Patrolman Gu
towski awakened the sleeping ten
ants. Though the interior of the
laundry was a furnace of flames
when the firemen arrived, under
Chiefs Woitscheck, Tooker and An
derson, the blaze was fought from
the rear and front and not allowed to
spread.
The fire is believed by tenants to
have originated from defective
fine. Charles Young came to the
shop at O'Clock, made good fire
in his stove and left to return for an
early start on his laundry. The fire
blazed brightly and soon overheated
the stove and fue, with the result
that the rear of the laundry was soon
ablaze, and the flames spreading to
the front.

FOR BISHOP Of
n. J. DIOCESE
oecial by United Press Wire.

Special by United Press WTe.
Trenton, Oct. T. - There we're
eight leading candidates for bishop
of the diocese of New Jersey of the
Protestant Episcopal church at the
convention here in Trinity church
today to choose a successor to the
late Bishop John Scarborough. They
were Rev George l.. Richardson, OF
Philadelphia; Suffragan Bishop C.
H. Burch and Rev. Theodore Sedg-
wick, of New York city; Rev. Dr.
Matthews, Dean of Faribult Ca
thedral, Minnesota; Bishop c. M
Griswold, of Salina, Kansas; Rev. e.
r. Parsons, of California;; Rev. Chas.
M. Perkins, of Vineland, n. j., and
Archdeacon r. Bowden Shepherd, OF
Trenton.
The convention today was made
necessary because Bishop Brent, OF
the Philippine Islands, who was elect
ed bishop of New Jersey at the con
yention last May, declined the
honor. The convention was called
to order by Rev. H. E. Thompson, OF
Woodbury., who was afterwards chos-
en- secretary. The Rev. Charles M
Perkins, of Vineland, was made pres
#idept. The outlook is that owing to
the numerous candidates several bal
lots will be required before thf
choice of bishop. The vote of sixty
one clerical and forty-two parish
delegates are necessary to choice.

OF CzAR'S FORCE
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

opecidt 10 the n ENiN0 ~ ~ WS.
Vienna, Oct. TIT is officially an
nounced that the Russians invading
Galicia, in an attempt to besiege the
Cracow fortifications, have been
driven back from the line of the
Genajec river by the reinforced Aus
trian army The Austrians have re-
taken Nowy Sandee on the southern
Galician railway line, east Of the
Genajec river, and are still in pos
session of TarnoW. The Russians
have made several assaults in force
on the Austrian positions near Tar
now, but it is stated. they have been
lrepulsed. The battle line in Galicia
now extends from the Vistula river
just north of Sczcucin along the line
of railroads that parallel the Genajec
connecting the northern and south
ern Galician lines.
The Russians have attempted to
advance with two entire armies
along the northern and southern
lines, but have been defeated in ev-
cry attempt they have made to break
through the Austrian front.
The Austrians are now on the Of
fensive and will endeavor to de-
cisively defeat the Russians and raise
the siege of Przemysl The Russians
will soon be in danger of flank at
tack as the German invasion of Rus
sian Poland from the neighborhood
of Budsin is continuing.
The above dispatch, received from
Vienna via Rome, contradicts the
Russian claims that they had occu-
pied Tarnow and were about to cross
the Genajec river for the purpose of
isolating Cracow.

GERMANS To RAID
BRITISH LINE OF
COMMUNICATION
Special By United Press Wire.

Special BY United Press Wire.
! Paris, Oct. THE fighting in the
north continues without change. This
was the only information obtainable
at military headquarters. No details
had been received of the movement
of the new German force reported in
the vicinity at Lille. 1t is every
where now accepted that this force
plans raid on the British lines Of
communication to the western sea-
coast towns. 1t is also accepted that
measures have been taken to check
it, but no information along this line
is obtainable.
reports that this particular force
had been followed by the slackening
of the attack on Antwerp are char
acterized here as absurd. The forces
are first line troops, part said to be
| Austrians, and they enter the field OF
action, according to aerial scouts re-
ports, by rail from the direction OF
Cologne. 1t is possible that they
have been drafted from the east or
that they may have come from Lor-
raine, where operations are at q
standstill because of weather con-
| ditions.
bardment of the Antwerp fortifica-
tions is increasing in violence. The
German guns are being served by
naval reserves. In fact, for the last
| five weeks there have been no first
line troops in Belgium. All opera
| tions there are being conducted by
the Landsturn and Landwehr The
battle line Of the northwest is con-
stantly extending and in consequence
1T has been impossible for the allies
to regain the territory heretofore sac
irificed to GermaD~ for HkrH4egic reA-
sons, but it is uRdersf ssasi ~ ere thaka
lnew movement against the eftfttne
right of the German center is pro-
crossing rapidly and WILL when COM
pleted, materially change the entire

Petrograd, Oct Practically no
news comes from the east Prussian
frontier, where the Russian army has
been reported as driving the Ger
mans back on their first fortified
lines. 1t is stated, however, that the
Germans have again been heavily re-
irforced and because Of this fact pro-
gress by Russian forces is, of neces-
sity, slow. The Russians now hold
i the original German line extending
from Lyck to Wirballen.
The campaign in Galicia has again
been retarded by heavy rains, which
have made the movement of trans
ports a desperate task. The Seventh

Special by United Press Wire.
Berlin, via The Hague, Oct. T.
The war Office declares that as a re-
suit of cooperation between the
armies of General Won Boehm and
Won Kluck, the French have been
compelled to retreat for considerable
distances along the German right.
In addition they are declared to have
been compelled to withdraw large
forces from the center to reinforce
the left wing in order to avert a
disaster The official report declares
the German offenses on the western
end of the battle line are constantly
increasing and that the French are
being driven back and enveloped.
Regarding operations on the left it
is stated that troops have been
withdrawn from points in the neigh
borhood of st. Mihiel because of
their being used as certain other
points in the battle line. These po-
sitions have been reoccupied by
French troops sent out from Toul
and Nancy. The center holds fast
with the French making no attempts
to assault the strongly fortified po-
sitions. Operations against Ant
werp are being pushed and addition
al heavy artillery is being placed in
position at various points, where
they can be of great service The
inner wing of the Antwerp forts Is
now being vigorously bombarded
In the eastern theatre of war the
Russians have been thrown back
with heavy losses in an attempt to
cross the east Prussian frontier to-
wards Lyck. Generally speaking the
| situation in the east is unchanged.

Unable to Check Germans,

Special bD United Press Wire
Paris, Oct. THE German at
tempt to outfiank the allies on The
left continues unchecked. Try as
they will the French and British
columns have been unable to check
the Germans in the northwest. They
have been compelled to give way
further in the neighborhood of the
Douawi and have fallen back to
Ions.
The fighting continues with the
greatest violence, according to latest
reports, along the north and south
front, extending from Compeigne
nearly to the Belgian border At no
point, military officials insist, have
Germans broken through the line.
They have succeeded in forcing the
French back to new positions, 1t is
admitted, but the positions hold fast
and the Germans have been unable
to complete their circling operations
or to drive a wedge through the al
lied line, which would enable them
to isolate the army operating on the
north and overwhelm 1t. To offset
the German success in the west the
French continue to drive the Ger
mans back in the Woevre district
The French movement northward
is increasing hourly in rapidity and
before long it should be reflected on
the west, as the Germans will have
to withdraw part of their forces tC
reinforce those operating in tne
Woevre regions or else suffer a seri-
Gus reverse that will imperil their
entire campaign.
