ROSE Schwartz and Louis Fertich were arrested Friday night ou complaint of Abraham Hirshohu, charged breaking, entering itnd grand larceny. They were taken before Justice Harter, who admitted them to bail. Forest fires are now prevailing in the neighboring country, which are causing much damage and no little alarm to farmers. Yesterday evening the reflection of a forest fire near Adam's Station could plainly be seen from this city. Dr.

Shannon, of this city, who had attend a patient at Franklin Park yesterday, says that the wooUs there on the left hand side, near the railroad, were one mass of roaring flames, and the heat was so intense as to compel him to take another route homeward. These are known as woods, and the general impression is that they were set on fire by rabbit hunters, who made fires to heat water, etc. At Adams Station, near Franklin Park, the fire was particularly severe and did much damage to timber, fences and other property. Rourke who recently bought the timber near that place to cut up and sell, are the heaviest losers. They had ,100 cords of wood cut and ready for delivery, all of which was consumed.

Spotswood was also visited by a forest fire, the origin of which is a mystery, but some people say that it was caused by boys making a bonfire with leaves. The damage done will reach thousands of dollars. The fire at Franklin Park is attributed by some to a spark from a passing locomotive, while others maintain that it is owing to rabbit hunters. The brushwood on the De Rcssell farm, out Easton avenue, wastset on fire yesterday afternoon, probably by gunners, who are violating the law which prohibits the shooting of rabbits until to-morrow. The smoke from these fires was blown across the upper part of town last night and caused considerable trouble and no little alarm.

The only true account of the accident which happened to the Albany-street Bridge on Friday, by one of the arches subsiding, was given in THE TIMES on Saturday, so the workmen, tbe contractors and our city officials. The cause of the subsidence was, as stated by this paper, the quick removal of the frame work before the cement had properly dried. City Surveyor Atkinson and Architects Lucius and Longbine, represent the builders, and Messrs.

Shanley on Saturday made a thorough examination of the defect. They all decided that the trouble was occasioned by the centre being struck too soon, or in other words, the wooden frame from underneath the arches was removed before the cement had thoroughly dried. Tbe disaster wae not caused by bad workmanship or inferior material, as both were good. The arch will de demolished and the work done over again. Magnificent Trains Ron Over the Penn One of the most important and successfu features in connection with the dedicator, exercises of the World's Fair grounds, an one which fully Illustrates the wonderfn progress which our country has made within the last half century, was the movemen made by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany of the cabinet offierg, the supreme cour justices, and the diplomatic corps from Washington to this city and back.

It re quired three special trains to perform this function, and Vice President Frank' Thomp son to whom the credit of the achieveraen ia due, made requisition on the Pullman Palace Car Company for the finest equip merit which those famous car builders could produce. The result WAS a triple section train such as has never before glided over the rails in any country. A crew of 25 persons, including stewards, cook, waiters, porters, maids, electricians, and machinists, in addition to the usual quota of trainmen, was required to insure proper service. The outfit resembled in a somewhat lessened degree the personal equipment of an ocean greyhound, of which the trains were a duplication on land. These were provided and tendered for the use of the distinguished guests of Chicago by Vice President Thomson.

They were run from Washington to Chicago as sections of the regular "Chicago Limited," of which they were duplicates, and they conformed to the regular schedule of that train. With the thorough organization of the sylvania Railroad company and its splendid system they came through the em ire distance, on the special schedule time arranged Jor them, without accident or delay of any kind, and this in the face of an extraordinarily increased passenger traffic. The great line is in such excellent physical condition, so well protected by the safeguards of modern invention, and so perfectly managed by a corps of men who have been educated and trained under the eyes of its high officials, that a movement of this kind, extraordinary as it may appear to the public, was effected without Interfering in any manner with the routine of everyday traffic. It is safe to say that while no other country in the world would be able to more the entire organization of its government a distance of one thousand miles, so there is no other railroad company which could grapple with such a problem and solve it with the ease to the persons in interest and the credit to itself that has distinguished this achievement of the Pennsylvania Railroad. It reflects the utmost credit on Vice-President Thomson, who planned, aud his associates, who executed the brilliant feat of railroad transportation, and holds out a bright promise of equally successfully work when the resources of this line will be draw-n upon next year to furnish adequate transportation facilities to the hosts who will visit the world's greatest fair.

THE WATER Thoughtlessly CRY. the Fire JJepart- Censuring: nient. A great many people censure the fire department because of the free use of water at a fire. The csnsure -is absurd, as the officers of the department know full well what they are doing. It is water alone that can cope with the flames.

The object is to extinguish the fire as soon as possible, and when the Dames are under control, only the required streams are kept playing. Not one single drop of water is put on a fire more than is necessary, and people with common intelligence know this to be an established fact. If the fire department sent only one steamer to a fire the cry would soon be raised, "Why don't they have all the steamers out Chlckeu Thieves Caught. Charles Higgius and Walter Crouse, colored, were arrested last evening by Constables Charles rover faud Geo. Holman, charged with stealing; chickens.

They were committed for trial by Recorder Harkius. These theives were arrested on complaint of Mrs. Abbe Peuniugton, who resides near Weston's mills. For some time she had been missing her poultry aud when several days ago over 40 chickens disappeared, she concluded it was some one who was well acquainted with the locality and who knew at what time to make the raid. Her suspicions were realized when her former gardener, Crouse, was captured.

What Is the matter with both the politica parties In former years iu October both parties used to have clubs organized who pa raded the streets with capes, torches and bands. Meetings were held every night in wigwams built for the purpose, everybody was interestel, and on nearly every cor ner you could hear a political discussion What is tbe matter with you fellows in charge Wake up, let the bands play, tbe flags fly.

Give us Civil Service Reform Tariff Reform, Protection, the Force Bill anything will do as long as you let us know that the presidential election is near. It may be that the leaders are confident of victory without making a show, but they should remember there is only one thing you can be confident of in New Brunswick, and that is that Harding Mansfield, No. 9 Peace street, make and sell the best shoes for the least money. Both parties can get them at the same price. DEMOCRATIC HEADQUARTERS.

The Place for Democrats to Call for information. The headquarters established by the Democratic executive committee of Middlesex County, at the Northeast corner of George and Albany streets, is now open and will continue open every day and evening until after the election. The rooms are well warmed and be supplied with the most reliable Democratic literature. There will always be a person in charge of the rooms to give any desired information. In a few days there will be a committee at the rooms to attend to the naturalization of Democrats.

tf THE SUNDAY BLAZE. A Dfeetive Flue Causes a Dangerous Fire. A House Damaged and Two Families Lose Their Fornltnre. On Sunday afternoon a fire broke out in the second story of the house, No. 127 Neilson street, owned by Mrs.

Ann Page, of Higland Tark, and occupied op the first floor by Mrs. Herbert Hunter and on the second story by Stephen A. Cannon. The fire started from a defective flue and crept along between the ceiling and floor of the second story until it reached a clothes closet in Mr. Cannon's apartments, where the smoke betrayed its presence and the' flames soon aftsr- brqfci forth.

Mr. Cannon made an earnest effort to master the fire, but finding his efforts fruitless he turned his attention to saving as much of his furniture as possible. Mrs. Hunter also rescued all'of her furniture she ould. An alarm was sent out which brought Phcenii No.

3, and the balance of the-fire department, and the flames being got at by cutting through the roof were quickly subdued. The second story and roof of the house are mdly damaged, and had the flames got icadway a disastrous fire must have resulted. The houses belonging to Mrs. Rupp the north side, and Mrs. Cook on the south side were in considerable danger, but were saved from damage by the opportune arrival of the fire department.

Unfortunately neither Mr. Cannon nor tfrs. Hunter had any insurance upon their urniture, nearly all of which is practically either by fire or water. They will ose about $300. The house was valued at about $2,500, on which Mr.

Page has an insurance of $2,000 a the Merchants' Insurance of Newark, the agency of Neilson T. Parker. The alarm drew forth a very large crowd )f people and gave rise to a number of exited rumors relating to the location and ex- ent of the fire. BOOTING THE LEATHER. Lafayette Defeats Rutgers at Foot Kail.

On Saturday aftornoon ths Rutgers and Lafayette foot ball teams tried couclusions on Rutgers athletic grounds in the presence of about 350 people, among whom was a fair sprinkling of ladies. The high wind and the dust were serious drawbacks to a "good game. Lafayette made all her galas through the guards and tackles, while Rutgers succeeded best in end plays. The scpre at the end of the first half was Lafayette, 12 Rutgers, 6, and at the end of the second half, Lafayette, 24 Rutgers, 10. and user made a run of 70 yards and scored a touch-down for Rutgers.

He was committed for three days on the first charge and held in default of bail for trial on the second. Near a Runaway. On Saturday Mrs.

Dr. Plainer, of George street, came near being the victim of a runaway. While driving a spirited horse near the Second Reformed Church the animal became restive, but Mrs. Palmer proved her able horsemanship by subduing him after the carriage had struck a wagon and it completely around.

The only books a woman wants, once ob- erved a philosopher, are a prayer book and cookery book. But he was not in it by big majority.

Everybody knows that the idde side girl has long driven her brother to 36 industrial wall. The Salvationist lass nd temperance unionist are ancient history, ven the patriotically political crusader is becoming a familiar figure. She could give points to Peter the Hermit. She does not, as of old, cry and kiss and scratch, in her reformatory raids. She is no English primrose dame, either.

Nor does she hire a hall. As a crusty old brother irreverently puts it, she is only a hen editor, who takes a malicious delight, however, in pecking at horrid men, especially if they are New Brunswick ers, Democrats, and won't attend the primaries. Success, nevertheless, to her efforts as a political philosopher, though her song is a very old song with a very familiar tune though her big brother might dispute her dictum that the primary is of far more importance than the ballot box and notwithstanding her somewhat shaky political philosophy, that if the two parties nominate good men, it makes little difference which wins at election." That is all right for the "independent Home News, but will hardly go down with the unconverted heathen who read the TIMES. That every voter should attend the primary of his party is Gospel, however aud it is true also, that he should be good. Yet in spite of all preaching, there will always be a good supply of bad boys.

Rev. Dr. J. R. Mace delivered an illustrated sermon on God calling Abraham to leave his people and go to a land He would give him.

The church was crowded and the stereopticon views were finely on a large sheet above the pulpit. The discourse was full of interest. FIRST PBESBTTEBIAJf. A large audience greeted Rev. Dr.

J. F. Biggs, of the Theological Seminary, last evening, at the first Presbyterian church. He took his text from St. Luke 28-23: "There" were letters of Latin, Greek and Hebrew." He pictured ancient Rome as a city of splendor and wealth without religion.

The Greeks he spoke of as the learned men of that age, and the Hebrews as the pious men. He traced the present man back many generations, and proved that the man or woman of the present age owed his all to the Romans, Greeks and Hebrews. The laws to the first, their knowledge to the second, and their religion to the latter. He also spoke of the need of Christian education in our colleges, seminaries and public and private schools, to enable the coming generation to be prepared for the needs of the coming age. He compared too much religion kept to one's self to a pool' of bright, clear spring water cut off from its source, which in time becomes a stagnant pond, offensive and dangerous to all who come in contact with it.

STATE ITEMS. SUDDEN DEATH. A Trenton Woman with a Pitiful that Don't Hold Water. On Saturday a New York drummer, who was viewing the new Albany-street Bridge, from the Highland Park side, was accosted by a woman, of about 36 years of age, who asked for some money to help her along as she was going to New York. She said she hud left her husband, in Trenton, because he drank so much, aud because she could not live with an inebriate.

She claimed to be on her way to New York, where she had friends. Her story was told In a very touching manner and led the drummer to believe that she was an advocate of temperance and that she was compelled to leave home because of a drunken husband. The drummer was struck dumb with astonishment when he offered her five cents, all the change ne had, and she refused the nickel saying she wanted 10 cents to buy some rum. The drummer left her in disgust. "'i NEW MISCHIEF.

Alexander MacDonald, the prominent Peace-street grocer, dropped dead shortly after 10 o'clock Saturday evening. He had been complaining of not feeling well for a few days, but as he was able to be up and around nothing serious was thought of.

Saturday evening about 10.15 he went into the slore and told his son William that he might as well close up and go upstairs. William started to do so, and his father said he would not wait, but would go upstairs. The young man had just got the goods from the doorway when he was startled by the sound ol a heavy fall. Rushing upstairs he found his father prostrate on the floor. He raised him up, but it was too late, the spark of life had fled.

Alex. MacDonald was born in Kilmarnock, Scotland, in 1829. He came to this country about 25 years ago and lived for five years in New York. He then come to New Brunswick and opened 'the store on Peace street. He was a courteous an upright businessman, a steadfast Christian, a loving husband aud a kind father.

He will he greatly missed by the large circle of friends. The funeral will take place Wednesday afternoon from the Second Presbyterian Church, of ijyhich he was a member. John L. Sullivan's Case. and humiliating downfall of John long considered the chain- pion pugilist of the world, is probably the most powerful object lesson which could be given on the value of temperance and the ruinous effects of debauchery.

No would have done as much in years as Corbett, the new champion, did, Iu less than two hours, to drive home upon the youth of America the truth that sobriety and right living are the only hope of the greatest success in Jany field of effort. When Sullivan, crying with the chagrin of pain and defeat, declared that "booze" had been the cause of his ruin, he gave what nine out of every ten men who pay any attention to prize fighting will agree is the true explanation of the sudden and complete collapse of a man long believed to be Leader. From Presidents of the United States through the diversified territory of honorable human activity, and lower through the descending scale of dishonorable human activity to the prize-fighter, rum shown its power to blast the intellect, paralyze the will, sear the conscience, petrify the heart, racks with pain the body and quench the spark of Advocate.

C. T. U. THREE-MILE BUN FIRE. The Farm Buildings of DeHart Voorhees Burned.

A gentleman who came in from Threemile Run about 2.30 o'clock this afternoon, reports that the farm buildings of DeHart Voorhees took fire about two o'clock, and when he left were rapidly burning down.
