Kossuth Street
KOSSUTH STREET runs south from 733 Van Hook Street, across Central Avenue, Ferry Avenue, Jefferson Avenue, and Chelton Avenue, ending at the railroad tracks. Named for famed Hungarian revolutionary Louis Kossuth, it appears to have been laid out prior to 1871, while that part of Camden was still Newton Township. Kossuth Street originally ended at Jefferson Avenue, but was extended in the early 1940s when the Chelton Terrace Public Housing project was built.

Christmas Tree Fire at Greenan Residence
Philadelphia Inquirer —
The sixth fire, at William Greenan’s residence, No. 1731 Kossuth street, was also caused by a Christmas tree. Greenan’s two children, William, aged 4 years, and Clarence, aged 2 years, were playing about the tree when they accidentally knocked it over on the stove. Flames shot up through the tree, and before the children could get out of the way their clothing caught fire. Their cries attracted the attention of their father, who rushed to their assistance. He was severely burned while rescuing his children. Both boys were seriously burned about the face, hands and bodies. They were taken to the Cooper Hospital. The damage to the house was slight.
Early Morning Blaze in Camden
Philadelphia Inquirer —
Early yesterday morning flames destroyed two frame dwellings situated at 1700 and 1702 Kossuth street, Camden. The fire was caused by a defective flue. The family of Thomas Biddle lived at 1702 Kossuth street. The other house was unoccupied and was owned by Captain Venable. No. 1702 was the property of William Drake. The loss amounts to about $1500 and is covered by insurance.
Woman Among Citizenship Recipients
Philadelphia Inquirer —
One woman was among those given citizenship by Judge Kates in Camden yesterday. She is Mrs. Nancy A. Abbott, a widow, of 1741 Kossuth street. Mrs. Abbott is a native of Leicester, England.
All but twenty-five of the 246 applicants for naturalization filed for this session of court were given their papers. Several were rejected because the draft records showed they sought to evade service on the ground of being aliens. One Italian said Mayor Ellis was head of the country and that each State elected thirteen Senators.
Grain Warehouse Swept by Blaze In So. Camden
Camden Courier-Post —
Smoke and Fumes From Smoldering Fire Cover Wide Area
A two-alarm fire, spreading dense smoke and an acrid odor over a mile area, swept a South Camden grain warehouse early today.
The blaze was centered in a 600-ton grain pit at the Camden Grain Co., 1709 Kossuth street, and Acting Fire Chief Edward R. McDowell said it might be necessary to remove most of the grain from its block warehouse before it was extinguished.
The fire was discovered at 4 a. m. by Caspar Krispin, of 2046 Arlington street, the night watchman. He summoned Truck Company 2, which in turn flashed a second alarm that brought in two more engine companies and a truck company.
Capt. Warren Carter, 42, of 239 South Thirty-fourth street, was burned on the left hand when struck by melting tar, falling from the roof of the warehouse. He was treated at West Jersey hospital.
Samuel Adelson, president of the company, said the grain had been purchased from breweries for reprocessing, but that he had no idea of prospective damage because of the smoldering nature of the blaze. The reprocessed grain is sold for cattle feed, Adelson told firemen.

DIED OF BURNS
Frank Middleton, aged 18 years, of 1818 Kossuth street, who was burned on Tuesday by the explosion of a coal oil lamp, died at the Cooper Hospital yesserday [sic]. Philadelphia Inquirer, August 28, 1890
CHANDLER— In sad and loving memory of a beloved husband, Richard J. Chandler, who passed away February 13, 1935. Getting used to being lonesome, that’s the hardest cross to bear, Getting used to all the sorrow, you were once so quick to share. Getting used to being lonesome, that what I must learn to do. The blow was heavy, the shock severe, I little thought that death was so near, But only those who have lost can tell, His vacant place there is none to fill.
—Sadly missed by wife Armenia

4 HELD FOR MAN’S DEATH
Camden Quartet Accused of Manslaughter Following Brawl
Following the death of John Malifink, 22 years old, of 1925 Fillmore street, last night in the Cooper Hospital from a fractured skull received in a brawl on Sunday night, four young men were held without bail by Recorder Stackhouse, charged with manslaughter. Prosecutor Kraft directed Detective Moffett to make the charges.
The accused are William Kilroy, aged 23 years, of 669 Vanhook street, Algelo Brown, aged 23 years, of 633 Central avenue; George Wilson, aged 21 years, of 567 Ferry avenue, and John Lutz, aged 19 years, of 1836 Kossuth street.
Malifink, the police say, was in a party of Polanders who, returning from a christening, had an encounter with another crowd at Railroad and Ferry avenues. When the fight ended Malifink was found unconscious on the sidewalk. At Cooper Hospital he identified Kilroy as a man who struck him in the head with a beer bottle. Kilroy and the three others, who were arrested as a result of police investigation, assert their innocence. Philadelphia Inquirer, July 17, 1915

Fake Dentist in Camden
Philadelphia Inquirer —
Several women in Camden have very painful teeth as a result of falling victims yesterday to a man giving the name of Dr. William Carter, who is in jail on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses.
“Dr. Carter,” claiming to be a dentist, visited a number of houses where he prevailed upon the women to let him fill their teeth preparatory to putting on gold caps. His prices were so low that they acceded. After doing the filling the alleged dentist left, saying he would get the caps. He failed to return. Mrs. Gertrude Pergerm, of 1804 Kossuth street, made the charge.

Camden Determined to Get Rid of “Undesirables”

Boys Find Charred Body in Fire Ruins
Philadelphia Inquirer —
Dead Man’s Companion in Hospital Suffering From Burns
Special to The Inquirer.
One man was burned to death and another was burned about the hands and legs when the explosion of a lamp caused a fire in a barn which had been fitted up as a temporary dwelling in the rear of 751 Ferry avenue, Camden, early yesterday morning. Michael Errieski, 45 years old, the dead man, was ordered to the Morgue by Coroner Rhone, while Stephen Shumluski, 50 years old, the other occupant of the place, was taken to the Homeopathic Hospital. Two boys looking over the ruins discovered the charred body of Errieski two hours after the fire was extinguished.
The flames spread to the home of Ludwig Nijidis, a saloonkeeper at 751 Ferry avenue, causing a loss of about $500, while the homes of Frederick Smith, 755 Ferry avenue, and Mrs. S. J. Rouh, widow of the late Justice of the Peace Rouh, were damaged to the extent of about $300 each. Smith also lost the contents of a plumbing shop. At a time it was believed a horse belonging to Smith had been lost in the fire. Policeman Karl Quinton proved himself a hero by throwing a blanket over the animal’s head and dragging the horse to the street. He also aroused the family of Smith in the nick of time. The home of Mrs. Jennie Stevenson, 1848 Kossuth street, just north of where the fire started, was entirely gutted, causing a loss of about $1,500 to the 2½-story frame structure. Most of the loss is covered by insurance.

Three Youths Arrested in Stolen Automobile
Camden Courier-Post —
Three youths arrested in a stolen automobile in Haddon township are being held in the county jail without bail to await the action of the grand jury.

It was learned by the police that the car is owned by Joseph R. Monroe, 139 Lafayette road, Audubon, who parked it in front of the New York shipyard, where he works.
The suspects gave their names as Theodore Hyk, 16, of 341 Hudson street, Gloucester; Charles Di Ciano, 16, of 1909 Kossuth street, and John Gaisor, 17, of 1047 Louis street.
At a hearing before Justice of the Peace Lester T. Kinker at Westmont police headquarters they were held to await the action of the grand jury.

Club Endorsement Denied in 8th Ward
Camden Courier-Post —
Action Rescinded Due to Choice of Running Mates, Candidate Says
Denial was made yesterday by three Eighth ward candidates, Walter Sekula, William Tansky, Jr., and Mrs. Theresa Maloney Die [sic] Lello, that their opponents have the endorsement of two political clubs.
Sekula is candidate for re-election as freeholder; Tansky is a candidate for Republican county committeeman, and Mrs. Di Lello is running with them for county committeewoman.
All three are “Regular Organization Republican” candidates, and announce their endorsement by the Baird-Baker faction.
Opposing them are Mrs. Mamie F. Piraine, for committeewoman; Dr. Oris W. Saunders, for freeholder, and Edmund A. Welsh [sic], for committeeman. Their designation is “Regular Republican.”
The Regular Organization Republican candidates deny their rivals have the support of the Eighth Ward Republican Club, 1718 Broadway, and the William Jones Republican Club, 707 Ferry avenue.
“Mrs. Piraine,” said Tansky, “was endorsed by the Eighth Ward Republican Club with the understanding she would run with two other candidates. After secret meetings, she picked up two candidates who were not members of the club, Walsh and Dr. Saunders.
“As a result, the club held a special meeting and rescinded its motion endorsing Mrs. Piraine.”
“Dr. Saunders cannot rightfully claim affiliation as a Regular Republican by virtue of his candidacy in 1927 on a Non-Partisan ticket,” Tansky said.
Tansky has served in the United States Army and Navy with three overseas enlistments. He has resided 24 years in the Eighth ward, is married and has two children. He is a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post No. 980.
Sekula has been in the trucking business for 15 years at 1635 South Sixth street, while Mrs. Di Lello conducts a confectionery store at Kossuth street and Ferry avenue. She was born and reared in the Eighth
