How a Quartet of Republicans
Killed Time on the Shore
Express.
TOWNSHIP CITIZENS
MAKING NEWARK SLATE
County Counsel and County
Register Picking Names for
City Mayoralty Race.
There appears to be more ways
than one for passengers on the short*
trains to while away the time be
tween here and the vartoun points
along the Jersey coast, whither so
many Newarkers h?c themselves
daily, to seek the cooling evening’s
rest, far from the sweltering city.
One of the other ways is to tylK
politics in general, and the political
situation in Newark and Essex Coun
ty ill particular.
Four men, well known in Repub
lican circles hereabouts, occupied
two seats, turned* so that the quar
tet could indulge in a face to face
talk and they did talk.
It may not have born their inten
tion to talk for publication or even
to take their nearest fellow passen
gers into their confidence, but de
velopments only go to show that go
where they will, speak guardedly and
in strict confidence, these politician
fellows cannot seem to arrange it
so as to keep their names or their
expressed thoughts from reaching the
eves of the reading public.
\n K.\pr«>»* Train Pow-wow.
A particular gossip bee. or pow
wow, took place Iasi Friday after
noon on the train that leaves Broad
street station of the Central railroad
at 4:25 o'clock. It is labeled the shore
Express and skips along merrily from
here to Point Pleasant, stopping at
various places of interest en route to
let on passengers.
Now. among the passengers were
County Counsel I'enjamin F. Jones,
who resides in South Orange and
votes there; County Register Tho’mas '
Alworth who makes his home in
Montclair and casts his ballot in that ;
suburb; Secretary John R. Fla veil, of
the Republican County Committee,
and—Well, the name of the fourth is
withheld out of deference, as bp has
frequently explained that he Is barred
by the rules governing the otTlce lie
holds from dabbling in politics. What
“dabbling in pjolitics” may mean is j
hot so; clear, but the gentleman re- i
11 vr»‘d to "talked politics” in as lively
fa fashion as any of bis companion*.
They touched upoiv the NejjjtiJy
mayoralty and proceeded to swap
suggestions as to who would make, a
suitable Republican candidate for the
office and who should not be even j
considered. The prominence of the j
men and the supposition that they )
know a lot about inside plans of the i
Or. O. P. with the subject under dls- ■
cession, caused a couple of Newark -
ers sitting near by to even cease ,
perusing their Evening Stars to listen
so interested did they become. Special !
attention was paid to remarks of j
Jones, of South Orange, explaining j
what should lie done in the W’ay of ,
picking a mayor for Newark and the j
utterances of Alworth of Montclair, |

MANY NEWARK PEOPLE
STOPPING AT HOSTELRY
Splendid Work by Night Watch
man and Porter Prevents
Panic.
Special to the Evening Htar.
ASBURY PARK, July 20.—More
than 200 persons were led to safety
today In an orderly way and without
panic when fire broke out in the
Hotel Columbia, Sixth avenue and
Kingsley street. The lire department
succeeded in confining the blaze to
the frame building to the west, which
connects the north and south wings
of the hotel. The damage is esti
mated at $6,000.
Except for the efficient way in
Which Hubert Schmidt, flight watch
man, und the negro employes of the
hotel spread the alarm and directed
the patrons to the =exits it is probable
that a panic would have followed the
discovery of the tire. As It was the
patrons, more than half of whom
were women, tiled out through the
smoke-Ailed halls and down the stalr
j ways without hurry. Most of the
guests fled wearing only their night
clothes and wraps they had hastily
thrown on. Eolowing the advice of
the employes few hesitated long
enough do curry their valuables and
baggage., The negro hell boys went
througtf the hojel. even after the lire
department arrived, carrying out
trunks, bags and clothing. So well
j did they do their work that the man
■ agers of the hotel said today no pa -
! iron would have suffered any loss of
! property even had the hotel burned.
The tire was discovered by Schmidt,
the watchman. He smelled smoke
and traced its source to the bake room
on the ground floor of the structure
connecting the wings. When he
reached the place Schmidt found the
flames were spreading^rapidly. Tim
quarters of the employes of the hotel
are above the room wheer the tiro
started. Many of the employes al
ready had been awakened by the
smoke, when Schmidt came, and were
quietly spreading the alarm among
[ their fellow workers. Schmidt warned
j i he negroes against raising a cry of
fire, and directed them to go through
the hotel and inform the patrons of
the blaze; tell them there was no dan
ger and direct them to the street.
Than ScHmidt, went tq the telephone
-BtvtfPliboard, arra’ after summoning
1 the lire department, culled up every
room in the hotel. Some of the put
j rons ^ceded nothing more than 'he
; ringing of thejjbells at their bedsides
j to send them hurrying out, arid
■ Schmidt told those who answered the
| phones that there Was a Sre and ad
' vised them to flee.
Practically every patron was out
before the Are department arrived.
Most of the guests, despite their in- 1
complete attire, went directly to the
i streets. Others, however, when they
^ reached the hotel oflflce without see

way back to their moms to pick *up

' NjuM-ial to the Evening .Star.
DOVER. July 20.—Fire, believed to
i have been caused by a*bomb explo
sion, sent three families scurrying to ■
i the street and completely gutted the
! two-story frame store and dwelling j
at Blackwell and North Morris J
I streets, owned by John W. Roberts.
! claim agent of the Morris Traction!
| Company.
There seems to be but little doubt j
but that the fire was caused by the ;
| < xplosion of a bomb In the doorway j
j of the store, as Policeman Charles
| Countyman* who was in the police
' station, tw'o blocks away, heard the
I explosion and rushed to the street to
j see the Roberts place In flames.
Asleep on the second floor at the :
time were Mr. Roberts and his wife, ■
Miss LUPan M&ndigo. Mrs. Bessie i
Crane and daughter Anna, the latter |
three being the guests of the Roberts I
family. In the rear of the first floor
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Endler were
asleep. All the tenants were aroused
by the explosion, but the quickness of
the fire’s spread forced them to flee
the burning structure in their night j
clothes.
The first floor of the building was j
occupied by Patsy Navarro as a con- j
fectionery and fruit store. His stock ’
was completely destroyed. The ent’re \
Loss is estimated at $10,000 and it
. took two hours’ hard work on the |
part of the Dover fire d<*partment to i
, subdue the flames.
That a bomb was exploded in the 1
doorway of the Navarro store is the J
belief of the police>who are working
on the case. Credence is given this j
| rumor by the fact that Miss Anna
Crane states that she heard men’s I
i voices in front of the Navarro store
and near the doorway a few minutes
before the explosion came. Navarro (
is not known to have any enemies,
and has told the police he knows of
no one who would desire to injure him
by destroying his place of business.

Two fires In the centre of the city

stirred up much excitement. Prompt
and efficient work by the fire depart
ment in both Cases checked the
flames.
The first fui broke out about 1
o'clock in the plant of the Newark
Lime and Cement Company. Bridge
and Ogden streets and the Passaic
river front. Two alarms were turned
in for thus blaze, but the second
alarm engines were not put to work.
They were returned to quarters in
a short time. The dumage at this
Are is estimated at $6,000.
The second tire was discovered
shortly after 3 o'clock in the dry
goods store of Joseph Muller. 65 Mar
ket street. It spread from the store
to the pool parlors upstairs and
through both doors almost their full
length to Campbell street. Tin a...Ti
nge here was said to be about $4,000.

largest of the group used by the
company, and in the ixj... v *
plant. Fifty feet away are three
gas tanks of the Public Service ‘Jaa
Company, which were Ailed almost
to capacity yesterday.
When the flrst engines arrived
Deputy Chief McDermitt turned in
tile second alarm and nodded tlie
employes of the gas company to
empty the tanks, but it was not
found necessary to pipe the gas to
the tanks of the company on Mar
ket street. In fighting the blaze the
firemen were at a disadvantage be
cause of the dense smoke and the
steam and vapors from slaked lime
that prtured from the windows of
the bo lding when they were flooded
with water. With the Bremen play
ing a dozen streams of water m it
from all sides the Are never had a
cponce to get out of the building
where It started.
The lire in Muller’s stor* was
caused by an explosion of an auto
matic gasoline lighting apparatus in
i he front of the place. Frederick
Muller, son of the proprietor, was at
tempting to Ax the machine w hen it
exploded. Both the Mullers run out
of the store shouting for someone to
turn in an alarm. Fireman John
Comstock, of Engine Company No.
10, was on a passing car. He jumped
from the car and turned in a call from
box 24, at Market and Washington
streets. Dense smoke also hampered
the flre-flghters at this blaze, but
quick wmrk smothered the Are and
prevented it from spreading to ad
joining buildings or tenements In the
'rear.
Mrs. Mamie House, a negress. of 34
Campbell street, was ill in bed when
the smoke came pouring into her
apartment. She fainted and had to
be carried out She was taken to the
