EPIDEMIC OF FIRES IN RARITAN TOWNSHIP ΜΚΤΓΟΗΕΝ, March 27.—An épi démie of fires broke out in the bor ough on Saturday, five alarms being turned- in during the afternoon. Karitan township also came in for its share, four fires having been report ed there. Saturday's blazes are all believed to have been the result of careless burning of brush and rubbish. In all but one instance the flames were extinguished before damage was done to buildings, but at the Bats ford home on Middlesex avenue slight damage was done to the roof which became ignited from flying sparks. Four brush fires were reported in Ilaritan township during the after noon and it was said that two indus trial plants had been badly dam aged by the flames. This was later found to be false, however.
