Shooting Mystery
Tuesday Night In
Hudson St., Fit. Lee

Antonio Carrelli, of Hudson street,
Fort Lee, is in the Englewood Hos
pital with a bullet wound in the left
side of his abdomen.
The man is said to have been in
jured as the result of a shooting af-
fray near a pool room on Hudson
street, that place, about 6 o'clock
Tuesday evening. The authorities
have been so far unable to ascertain
the cause. Several shots were fired.
County Detective Louis B. C. Mes
tel and the police force of Fort Lee
rounded up a number of Italians, but
none of them will talk and the .;
remains a mystery
Two Italians, Dominic Mazzona
and Antonio Febbos were arrested
as being suspected of completely in
the crime. Stilettos were found con-
cealed in their belongings. Five
others have been taken into custody
charged with the carrying of con-
cealed weapons. They are all salo
to be aliens.

Brisk Blaze Monday
Endangers Building

At 1890 last Monday morning q
Grantwood tailor, A. Morris, at Pail
SADIE avenue and Washington avenue,
left the gas burning in his pressing
iron, to accept his wife's invitation
to breakfast. A few moments later
Mrs. Morris was startled to see a
bright light in the store, and sud-
denly realized that it was ablaze.
The alarm of fire was quickly
spread, and the neighbors responded
willingly with pals of water, and
soon had the fire under control. The
cause of the fire is supposed to have
been the gas tubing running from
the ceiling pipe to the lighted iron
on the table. From this the fire
quickly communicated with the poles
on which were hung rows of GUS
toners clothes, and the burning of
which nearly caused the destruction
of the building. The walls and cell
ing in this corner of the room were
badly scorched, and the plate glass
windows at the front scorched.
The store is in the building be-
longing to Albert Raas, and the
damage is covered by insurance.
But this does not prevent many
young men and older ones losing
their clothes.

County Engineer Henry Durham,
in letter to the Board of Freehold
ers concerning an inspection of the
records of work, test samples taken
and present appearance of the COM
pleted work to date of two State aid
roads constructed under the author
ity of the large Board of Freehold
ers, which letter was read at the BIZ
monthly meeting of the Board We'd
nesday, said:
''In reference to the Anderson ave-
nue. contract, the records show vari-
Gus departures from the specifica-
tons, both as to grading of the min
eral aggregate, the percentage of
bitumen and the thickness of the
wearing service, particularly in that
portion of the section between the
trolley tracks in Grantwood and
Lafayette avenue.
.In regard to the Market street
work, while the grading is also ir-
eral, there is an excess of bitumen.
"The records appear to show that
there has not been shortage of any
class of material, but that the best
judgment was not used in the mix
ing. There will be no failure from
lack Of sufficient asphalt in any point
in this road, but there is possibility
Of chicf1. Evidence has already
developed that the excessive amount
of bitumen at certain points will tend
to produce rolling in warm weather
''Test sections, cut from the sec
tions at various points in this road
have regularity in thickness, but in
no case show any very serious short
age.
Summarizing, it may be said that
neither of these contracts is in strict
compliance with the specifications
On the other hand, neither was there
any radical departure from them, and
careful inspection of the entire length
of each road shows substantial value
received, as both have been in serv-
ice for nearly two years, which has
given ample time for the develop
ment of any serious defects"
The Engineer recommended the
adoption of a resolution notifying the
State Road Department of the ac-
ceptance of the two roads and the
payment of the States share of the
expense involved, which recommen-
dation was favorably acted upon and
the necessary resolution carried.
Freebooter Kinzley presented a
bill amounting to $49.5O from the
Bedell Co., of Hackensack, for cart
age and labor in connection with the
removal of the wrecked county auto
mobile from Ridgefeld Park to their
garage. Mr. Kinzley suggested the
bill be held up, as he understood that
Mr.. Morrison would pay.
Freebooter Coe said that he could
not see what right Mr. Morrison or
anyone else had to expect the county
to pay. He incidentally mentioned
that the car presented to the county

DRIVER RUNS AND STOPS CAR.

Mrs. John Jacob Nell, jr., of 1876
Larch avenue, Bogota, whose hus-
band is business manager of the
Morning Telegraph, and her sister,
Miss Josephine McGintee, of Roches-
ter, N. Y, were dangerously injured
early Sunday morning last when they
leaped from runaway Ford taxicab
as it dashed down the steep Fort
Lee hill leading from Edgewater
north without a driver.
Mrs. Nell is suffering from a frac-
tured skull and severe decorations
and cuts about the face and shoulders.
Miss McGintee, who is about 25, is
suffering from a dislocated hip,
possible fracture of the right ankle
and internal injuries.
The attending physicians consider
the condition of the victims as ex-
tremely critical. Both are in the
Englewood Hospital.
Mr.. Nell made the following state
ment after visiting the hospital and
having a talk with Miss McGintee,
Mrs. Nell being in Unconscious
condition most of the time and I'M
able to give any account of the ac-
cident:
"Mrs. Nell and her sister went
over to New York Saturday evening
to visit some friends. They returned
to Edgewater on the last ferryboat
from 130th street at 3 a. M, and as
there are no Hudson River trolley
cars running at that hour they en-
gagged taxi from Godstrey's Edge
water garage, and my wife so in
formed me on the phone. I heard
nothing further until DIR. Max Wyler,
of Fort Lee, 'phoned me at $50 that
my wife and sister-in-law had been
injured and for me to go to the
Englewood Hospital.
"Miss McGintee tells me that as
the taxi was about half way up the
steep Fort Lee hill, on the east side
of the town, the auto stalled. The
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1916-01-22

chauffeur made another attempt and
then cut across the road, the auto
blocking the roadway, with the front
wheels swung around trife down
hill.
"When the chauffeur cranked the
car second time it started up and
went on down the hill without him,
the driver having neglected to apply
the brakes and leaving the machine
in speed gear.
"Miss McGintee says the chauffeur,
Patrick Dowell, of Fort Lee, yelled
to them to jump, and that they both
agreed to do so, jumping from oppo-
site doors at the same time. The
women were terror stricken as they
saw the auto speeding down the hill
without driver and screamed. The
road is a winding one and Steep"
Dowell, according to his state
ment to the Fort Lee police, admits
that the auto got away from him,
but he says his attempt to jump into
his seat was frustrated when his
overcoat caught in the wheel. He
says he put a block under the rear
wheel, but the auto plunged forward
instead of backward.
Dowell dashed after the runaway
car and says he succeeded in climb
ing aboard and stopping the taxi be-
fore it crashed into the stone walls.
He sent word to police headquarters
and soon afterwards Policeman Ro-
senstengle and Frate assisted in plac-
ing the unconscious women in the
taxi, and had Dowdell hurry to the
Office of DIR. Wyler. The latter sum-
moned the Englewood Hospital am
bulance.
Dowell was arrested and Recor-
der James Sheehan released him
under $500 bond to appear for a
hearing on Wednesday evening.
Mr.. Nell and his family have lived
in Bogota not more than two months,
and Miss McGintee came on from
Rochester few days ago for visit.

Cat Causes
Connotion
In Church

At the Congregational Church last
Sunday morning the strictly devo-
tional character of the service was
slightly detracted from by the con-
seriousness, gradually developed, that
the church cat had decided to take
a part in the proceedings. Its first
offering was rather subdued and
plaintive, but as the congregation be-
came more rapt and intense, and as
the preachers exhortations grew in
fervor, the spirit of the lone feline
waxed in vocal power, somewhat to
the distress of both preacher and
preached. But while the voice of
the cat was present, his bodily where
abouts could not be determined.
During the offertory it was noticed
that the organ did not play, which
added rather than detracted from the

Business Part Of
Passaic Is Swept
By Fierce Flames

PASSAGES 10000 people were
awakened in the dead of night on
Tuesday last by a furious blaze,
which, before it had been gotten
under control, had destroyed a half
million dollars worth of property at
the city's center.
The entire force of fire-fghters,
all the policemen in the city and a
large volunteer corps of citizens were
soon busy fighting the confagration,
which, beginning in a small way in
the Woolworth Five and Ten Cent
Store, ate it's way fiercely through
block after block of the most valu-
able business buildings, and left fifty
families without homes. Among the
important structures destroyed were
the Pasaic City Hotel, the Passaic
Theater, the Woolworth Store, Ber-
dams Furniture Store, Blocks butcher
shop, and Cooper's Shoe Store.

Several blocks where new fires were
started. The fre-fghters worked
ahead of the fire, routing out families
and carrying goods to zones of safety.
Power cables had to be cut, as a
result of which the working of fac
tories was stopped. The fire hydrants,
themselves, were for a time almost
unusable owing to the water being
frozen.
