Camden, NJ

Twenty-Fourth
Street

TWENTY-FOURTH STREET begins in what was originally called the Pavonia section of what is now considered Cramer Hill and ends in East Camden at Marlton Avenue. The street had already been laid out by the time the 1887-1888 Camden City Directory was published and was known as Union Street. The street begins at Harrison Avenue and runs south, across River Avenue to the Pavonia railroad switching yard, then to Federal Street, then to Marlton Avenue. As in all numbered streets in Camden, it is North 24th Street above Federal, and South 24th below.

Do you have a Twenty-Fourth Street memory or picture? Let me know by e-mail so it can be included here.

Deadly night: 4 killed, 2 hurt in Camden

CAMDEN — In a deadly span of less than an hour, two city men were shot dead in East Camden and another was fatally stabbed in the Whitman Park neighborhood on Saturday night. A fourth man died in a hit-and-run accident in the same period.

Authorities said the incidents, which followed at least one other shooting earlier Saturday, do not appear to be connected.

In the first incident, 31-year-old Bruce Matthews was found with multiple stab wounds at Louis and Everett streets at 10:35 p.m., according to the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office. Matthews lived in the 1300 block of Chase Street, a short distance from where he was found.

Around 11:15 p.m., gunfire claimed two lives at a home in the 100 block of North 24th Street in East Camden, authorities said. Jose Ariel Paynes Garcia, 22, of the 2700 block of Federal Street, and Louis Antonio Narvaez-Betancourt, 32, were both found dead at Narvaez-Betancourt’s home.

A 28-year-old man who lived at the home was wounded by the gunfire, authorities said. That man, whose identity was not released, remained at Cooper University Hospital as of Sunday evening.

Authorities have not released a motive for either incident.

The hit-and-run victim, Edwin Cardona, 32, of the 900 block of 20th Street, was run down around 11 p.m. near River and Beideman avenues in East Camden, the prosecutor’s office said. No additional details about that incident were available Sunday.

COP SAVES CHILDREN WHEN HORSE BOLTS
Seizes Animal Which Had Been Crazed by Sting of Bee

Stung by a bee, a runaway horse endangered the lives of children in East Camden yesterday, struck two automobiles and was finally seized and halted by a policeman after a mad dash of two blocks.

The horse was attached to a wagon of the Scott Powell dairies and ran away while its driver, Hugh Wood, of Marlton Pike and Federal Streets, was delivering milk on South Twenty-fourth Street near Federal. The runaway occurred shortly before noon.

Suddenly, the animal reared in the shafts of the wagon and galloped north on South Twenty-fourth Street. Nearing Federal Street, the wagon struck the automobile of Howard Johnson, of 6037 Jefferson Avenue, Merchantville, and the truck of J. Roy McKay, 2402 Federal Street.

After crashing into the automobiles, the horse freed itself from the shafts as the wagon was upset in the street, strewing quarts of milk over the highway. As the frenzied animal continued its dash, mothers ran screaming into the street, seized their children and hurried with them to safety.

At Twenty-fifth and Federal Street, Policeman Walter Christy saw the animal and seized it by its bridle as it passed. Christy was dragged several feet before he could halt the horse, which suffered only slight leg injuries in the runaway.

Engine 9 (Kinky), Ladder 3 (Magee), and Battalion 2 (Depascale) arrived and reported a 2 story MOD with heavy fire coming from the 2nd floor. Companies attempted to go into service with a handline but were unable to due to the electrical box on the porch arching. Battalion 2 also reported that he had power lines down on the top of Tower Ladder 3. Battalion 2 requested the all hands which gave him Squad 7 and Battalion 1. Minutes later he also requested an additional engine and truck bringing Tower Ladder 1 and Engine 1 to the scene. Companies on scene encountered heavy fire conditions in the original fire building, and were forced to evacuate due to structural instability. They then began to protect the exposures. Multiple handlines were used at the scene along with several big lines, and Engine Company 9's Deck Gun. Fire was placed under control approximately 45 minutes from dispatch. There were no reported injuries at the scene. SEE VIDEO

Fire destroys row of houses in Camden

A smoky fire that started last night in an abandoned Camden rowhouse spread to seven other houses, destroying the block, before it was brought under control by firefighters.

None of the residents on the block, South 24th Street, between Mickle Street and Carman Street, was hurt in the three-alarm blaze, Camden fire officials said. Firefighters banged on doors to summon residents, evacuating tenants from three inhabited houses. All eight buildings were destroyed.

Firefighter Ramon Melendez was taken to a hospital, suffering from smoke inhalation, said Camden Fire Chief Kenneth Penn.

Two women living as squatters in an abandoned house at 61 S. 24th St. were rescued by a ladder truck from the second floor, Penn said.

At another home, firefighters pulled a woman to safety after she tried to rescue her German shepherd, trapped inside. The firefighter retrieved the dog, limp from the smoke, and administered oxygen to the animal, said New Jersey police investigator Martin Schwartz.

"They had trouble controlling her. She wouldn't leave the house because of the dog" Schwartz said.

The woman's other dog was pulled away by neighbors.

Schwartz is part of the state police task force that has patrolled Camden since January. Gov. Whitman announced last week that the officers would be leaving Camden this weekend.

The fire broke out at 7:21 p.m. at 63 S. 24th St., and wasn't brought under control until two hours later, firefighters said. Penn said the fire spread quickly up the row of houses, traveling through a common attic area of the homes.

Penn said it was too soon to tell what sparked the fire.

Residents on Carman Street said they could hear firefighters shouting that there was no water coming from their hoses. Penn said the fire hydrants on the block could not produce enough water to fight the escalating blaze, and so the battalion chief quickly called in for backup pumpers. At no time, he said, were firefighters without water.

Maria Rodriguez, who lives a few blocks away and has friends on the block said one of the abandoned houses was known as a drug house where dealing took place day and night.

"You see it in the streets. You see the raids by the cops. Everything," she said.

Two of the residents, Jose Jimenez and roommate Saul Cabral, escaped after smoke poured into their living room. They were unharmed. But the two men, strugging to make new lives after moving from El Salvador and Cuba, lost all their furniture, including the dining room set purchased last month.

"They had set up everything real nice," Rodriguez said. "They started with nothing. It seems now they'll have to start all over again.
