Bodies Of Aged Couple
Found in Ashes of Home

Chatsworth, n. j., Sept. Is. : Their
charred bodies side by side in the
ashes of their home, which was de-
stroyed by fire early yesterday morn
ing. John Smith, watchman at brick
yard at Pasadena, in the pines, eight
miles from Chatsworth, and his aged
wife died under suspicious conditions
Residents of Chatsworth driving
along the lonely road near the brick
yard at 2 o'clock yesterday morning
were attracted to the home of the
watchman, which is nearly two miles
from the nearest habitation, by the
blaze. One of the party caught a
glimpse through the flame swept room
Of the two bodies side by side in bed
The blaze cut off any attempt at re-
covery of the bodies. Oficials investi-
eating the case do not believe the
flames could have gained sufficient
headway to suffocate the pair. and it
Is a general suspicion that the fire
was started to cover another crime.
The plant which is owned by the
Brooks Brae Brick Company, of Phila-
delphia, has been idle for several
years.

Boil Mattress Factory
Set Ablaze by Firebug
Thinks Chief Kinder

The fire which early this morning
caused $4,000 damage to the mattress
factory of Boil Brothers, Fourteenth
and Howard streets, is believed by Fire
Chief Kinder 10 be of incendiary
origin. A rigid investigation is under
way.
When the flames were discovered
they were eating through the roof at
tho rear of the brick structure. The
material in which it was burning was
highly inf1ammable and firenen had
difficulty in extinguishing it. Adjoin-
ing the structure on the south are
stables used by j. n. Rebuck. The
horses and wagons were taken out of
the danger zone.
The building damaged last night is
owned by the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railway Company and according
TO local officials will be rebuilt at once.
New machinery and material to re-
place that lost has already been or
dered, Boil Brothers say, and they ex-
pect to have the factory working again
within several weeks.
The similarity of the fire to the re-
cent one which broke out in the lum-
ber yard of E. c. Snyder at Eighteenth
and Holly streets leads the fire chief
to believe both fires were incendiary.
According to a local adjustor $500
insurance was carried on the tota'
stock of merchandise. The machinery
was protected to the amount of $4,000

San Benito, Texas, Sept. 15.-Heavy
cavalry and infantry patrols which
were rushed to this city during last
night kept off a threatened attack by
Mexican bandits. Evidence of a plot
by reports to army patrols during the
night of activities of Mexicans out
side of town.
Just before dawn, the time which
the commanding officers here sus-
pected was chosen for the attack, in
fantry details were sent out along the
roads for some distance from town.
No belligerent Mexicans appeared.
Will Be Closely Guarded
Mexicans here have told citizens
about an organization of revolutionists
which planned to make a demonstra-
ton at some other place to draw
troops away from San Benito and
then fire into the town. For that rea-
son San Benito will be closely guarded
for several days. Army patrols here
or in the immediate neighborhood
number three companies of infantry
and two troops of cavalry. Threats
also have been made against the town
of Mercedes, about twenty miles from
here
A few days ago a number of strange
MeXicans were noticed here. At the
same time several trusted Mexican
household servants advised their en-
ployers to leave because they had
heard that the bandits were going to
attack

after noon to-day when the mercury

High temperatures during the present

public unawares.
While humanity has been swelter-

sun and high humidity, crops have
been making great strides forward.
The soil is in excellent condition for
plowing and the thrashinE of grains
is we'll under way. Late potatoes are
being dug and in most sections are OF

districts 1t will be delayed until near
