badly damaged in a fire in a garage
in the rear of his home last night.
Mr.. Depew was in the garage at the

light his way. it is said. He started
his car and in an instant there was
a burst of flame that ignited the
body of the machine. An alarm was
sounded from box Al at Amboy road
and Bethel avenue, but when the
firemep of ISL engine and 76 hook
and ladder arrived they were un-
able to reach the scene of the blaze
with the apparatus because of the
condition of the street which is be-
ing laid with new water mains. The
apparatus was left in Amboy road
and the firemen carried extinguish-
ers and other fire-fighting imple-
ments to the fire about three blocks
down the street.
The blaze was soon extinguiShed
bx the firemen but not until it had
burned considerable of the automo-
Lille and the garage. The damage
is estimated to be about 5000. Mr..
Depew in trying to e~xtinguish the
blaze burned both hands.

tl,orized at the meeting of the Dor
ough council last night to sweat in
the commissioners of assessment at
once and begin the condemnation for

since DR.. Edwards produced Olive
Tablets, the substitute for calomel.

enemy, discovered the formula for Olive
Tablets while treating patients for
chronic constipation and torpid livers.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets do not
contain calomel. but a healing, soothing
vegetable laxative.
No gripping is the keynote" of these
little sugar-coated, olive-colored tab
let's. They cause the bowels and liver to
act normally. They never force them
to unnatural action.

suits from one or two of DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets at bedtime.

TRAILS AUTO DRIVER TO
FERRY AFTER COLLISION

TOTTENVILLE, Nov. 29:-After
trailing an automobile several miles
through the island when the driver
refused to give his name following
a collision James B. Reid, of Muir
ray street, Richmond Valley, had
his man arrested at the st. George
ferry as he was about to board q
municipal ferryboat for Manhattan.
The collision between the two cars
occurred at Concord at / o'clock in
the morning and after an argument
between the drivers of the two cars
in which Reid claimed the other
fellow was in the wrong the man
got in his car and drove off. Arriv-
ing at the ferry Reid appealed to
Patrolman Hogan who made the
arrest. At the Stapleton precinct
station it was revealed that the
other mans name was also Reid.
He was John Reid, of 314 First
street, Troy, N. Y. He was held in
bail for his appearance in court.
Neither man had seen each other
before and there is no relation be-
tween them, beyond the fact that
they are called by the same sur
name. A satisfactory adjustment of
the case is expected to be made be-
tween the two men.
