I The announcement of the arrest of
j Ilumtilirey Cbamberlin, president of
tho Cimuiberlin Investment company,
which appeared In Thk TRIBUNE yes-
tarda)', uroused considerable comment
about the city, Many victims of the
Chamberlin syndicate naturally read
j with satisfaction the intelligence that
the head of the concern is in a fair way
to receive bis just deserts. The history
of the Chamberlins will form quite uu
ititereating chapt-r.
H Ll. Cbamberlin began in the real
estate buHlueas in Denver in a small
way about tea years ago. nftrward
taking iu bis brothers, A. W. and
Fred J.
The linu boeatuo the Cbamberlin In
vestment company about four or five,
years ago, the three brothers holding
all the stock but a few shares in the
hands of clerk. The stock of Hum
phrey B. was pheuomeuulty large tivj
years ago. Dun rated him at more
than a million, witb unlimited credit.
He atd Arthur W. eseh bad put up
splendid homes in the heart of Capitol
Hill.
IIEI D EXALTED POSITION?,
Until two years ago II. B. Chatnbar
lin was president of the Denver cham
ber of commerce and board of trade,
and for a time he waa president of the
j Young Men's Christian association, in
wuicn no was very active, to Trinity
Methodist church, of Denver, one of
tb finest in the 1' nlted States, he gave
$30,000 iu cash, and was largely instra
mental in securing the rust of the
money. To Denver university, a Meth
odist institution, he presented a giant
telescope, which bear bis name and is
supposed to have cost $30,000. He
gave large sums of money to pub'ic
and educational purposes, and un
doubtedly made a hnge fortune out of
Denver real estate. On his trips to
England he nlwars lectured at tho an -nual
Young Menu Christian associa
tion conventions and similar gather
ings, and be is one of the best known
Americans in the midland counties,
from which ho drew several millions.
But Cbamb'rlin's ambition carried
him too far. His Denver succeis caused
him to reach out into almost every city
from Galveston and Fort Worth to
Tacnma and S;attle. The chief office
of the company here is the finest pri
vate office in the city and it was
crowded with clerks. When western
real estate became inactive about two
years ago Cbamberlin was caught with
all sails spread He staved off disaster
for a year by rem lining in England
and financiering, and at one time had
practically closed au issue of bonds
based on the property of the company
which would have carried hiui through.
It was for three millions. At the last
moment it failed. More than a year
ago the company assigned with
many millions of liabilities.
THE BRANCH OFFICES.
Cliutnberlin had branch .-ftf-M at
New York, Rochester, Fort Worth.
Scrauton, Detroit, Utica, San Antonio
and Corpus Chriaii, Texas, and in Lon
don and Nottingham, England.
The Chamberlin schemes were
boomed in Scranton by an individual
by the name of Newman, who claimed
to have been a Young Men's Christian
secretary in days of yore. Mr. New
man came to this city about two years
ago and succeeded in iuterestjtig sev
eral prominent people in the basinets,
To outward appearances hie mission
to Scranton was solely for the benefit
of the people interested in Young Men's
Christian association work. The
Chamberlin's had formerly been in
the work. They had made fortunes in
the west and had sent representatives
abontthe country to give Y'oung Men's
( InrUtian association people and their
friends a chance to secure apartments
upon the ground thor.
After the business was fairly under
way it was noticed that the syndicate
became more and more liberal and
seemed willing to give all Scranton an
opportunity to become wealthy. Tbe
local agents of the couoern studied the
colored maps and beautifully prepared
circulars and became so impressed with
the lucid explanations of the modns
operandi of rapid wealth gettiug that
they were ready to make affidavits to
the truthfulness of every paragraph.

KINO WORDS OF FRIENDS.
OANVAttXD.
They canvassed tho city thoroughly
and succeeded in gatberiug nearly foil,
000 to swell tbo fund of a land pool at
Pueblo, Col. The amounts contributed
to the enterpriae by different citizens
ranged from $100 to $5,000. Tbe lurg
est lump received by the Scranton
agents was a check for the latter sum
given by Frederick Loudin, the mana
ger of the Fisi;o University Jnbilee
troupe.
The local investors were hopeful un
til the failure of the Chauiberlins was
announced last summer. The pirties
in this state who had been nipped by
the failure that rendered their land
stock worthless for the time, held a
meeting some time ago with a view to
taking action against Cbamberlin after
the manner of Mr Paisley. The ma
jority of the investors, however, did
not feel like throwing away more cash
and the efforts to stoure ooncerted ac
tion against the investment company
were unsuccessful.

John Rowland and his wife, Mrs.
Mary Rowland, were tried before Judge
Ounster yeaterday charged with hav
ing on Oct. 11 last set tire to a bouse on
Albright avenue owned by Edward C.
Dimmick, which they oocupiad under
a lease. It is alleged that the building
was fired to enable th Rowlands to
collect on a policy nf $370 issued by the
Iron City Mutual Firu Insurance Com
pany of Pittsburg on the furniture aud
personal effects of the Rowlands, Colo
net F. J. Fitzsimmons aud Attorney 0.
II. Soper defended them and District
Attorney Kelly represented the com
monwealth. H, F. Ferber, chief of
the tire department, was the prosecu
tor. Oeora H. Merritt, the agent of tbe
Iron City Mutual Fire Insurance com
pany, was the tirat witness called. He
said that on Spt. 93, Wii, his com
pany issued a policy on the personal
effects and furniture of the R iwlands
for sotO On Oct. 4. 1893, the tire and
consequent distraction of the property
iusured were reported by Mrs. Row
land. He visited the plaoe and found
but little furniture or clothing.
Hi P. Ferber was tho second witness
culie.l. He said that about 5 o'clock
on Oct. II, and alarm of fire was sound
ed. He proceeded to the house of the
Rowlands on Albright avenue ntid
foiiud that the tire was about extin
guished, with the exception ot a blazs
iu a cupboard behind tbe kitchen stove,
which be put out with au extinguisher,
THRU ITRES POUND,
Tbo chief then made an examination
of tbe premises, and besides the fire iu
the kitchen found there had been a nre
close to tlie base board in a room on
tho second lloor, and another under a
a table in the parlor on the first floor.
In thia Inst room tables were piled one
upon the other, and on top ot them was
a chair topped uy a piece or noaru
which was close to the ceiling
Under the table was a pick of papers
saturated with kerosene oil, but they
seemed to be placed so close together
that they could not burn. After tho
loose edges were charred tho fire burned
itself out. He could discover no con
nection between any of the three tires.
They were entirely separate, one from
tho other. Part ot tho furniture and
clothing bad apparently bim removed
from the house. ;
Chief Ferber's testimony was corrob
orated with regard to the apptaranois
of the three rooms in which tires went
discovered by A. K Detweiler, O. P
Miller and Jacob K. Smith members of
Are companies that were at .the houso
on the day of the fire.
Mrs Mary English and Mrs. Mary
Brown, hen mother, testili nl that on
the day of the fire they noticed that
lace ctirtai ns had b;en ram ived from
the windows aud that s aim of the fur
niture had been removed from the
house.
WANTED MORE INSURANCE.
J. D. Evans, an insurance agent,
swore that a few days before the fir-t
Mr. and Mrs. Rowland called upon
him and told him they wanted to have
their furniture insured right away,
lie promised to call at their house, but
neglected todo bo. C. Q. Bolanl, an
other insurance mm, said the Row
lands wanted him to insure their fur
niture a short time before the tire, but
he told them he could not write a pol
icy for tham for leas than $300
William Brown testithd that on the
day of the fire he noticed smoke issu
ing from the Kowland bousa. He op
ened the kitchen door and saw a fire
behind the stove. All of the doors and
windows of the house were closed.
After seeing the fire he rushed off aud
had the alarm soun led. With Browu's
teatitnonv i h prosecution rested.
John Rowland was the first witness
called by the defense. He said that he
was employed all day in the Mt.
Pleasant mine and did not return home
until after the fire hud been extin
guished. He explain" i the Hires ap
parently distinct fires by saying that
the lire from tun kitc.ien crop: arounu
into the front room and then worked
up to tho secoud flior. All of his fur
niture und clothing was in the nouse
when he left in tue morning, and such
aa was not burned he saw about, thu
house and yard after tho fire.
MKS ROWLAND'S STORV.
Mrs. Kowland was next called . She
said that on the afternoon of the fire
she had been out the yard in tha rear of
tlio house digging potatoes About au
hour before) it broke out she was last
in the house. She left tho front and
rear doors open aud several of the win
dows were raisad. She said that all
of her furniture and effects were iu the
house and yard ufter t iia lit'?. N'ouo of
them bad been carrlod away in ad
vance Mrs. Rowland had a little babe with
her in court. Shasaid that herself,
husband and child have been in jail ever
since i let. 4 Since that time two of
her children, who were committed to
oue of tbe homes for c'.iildren in this
city after her arrest, have died. Sao
Rhed copious tears when relating this
fact to the jnry.
Oley Tuompion swore that Rowland
was employed by him as a laborer in
the Mt. Pleasant mine on the day of
the fire. He left him iu the miue at 2
p. m. on that day and did not see him
again until aftor the fire had been ex
tinguished when he observed him re
turning from work.
rt'RNlTl'RE PII.LD CP.
lie saw tlie furniture piled up in the
front room and took it down aud dis
tributed it about. It looked bad, be
said, to see the furniture piled up, as
pe pi might think the house was set
ou nre. The bovs who came into the
house after the fire piled up the furni
ture ugain, and it was in that condi
tion when Chitf .Ferber nrrived. Mr.
Thompson said he helped to extinguish
the fire and that it was out half an
hour before the firemen arrived.
"You say the tire was extinguished
before the lire companies arrived?"
nsknd Mr. Fitzsimmons.
"Yes, sir," promptly replied Mr.
Thompson,
"That's tbe usual wny," commented
the colonel.
"Well, I believe you a member of
Hook and Ladder company." retorted
District Attorney Kelly, and the mat
ter was allowed to drop.
The defense rested and Attorney So
per called the attention of the court to
the fact that it had not been shown
that tlieroissucli an organization as tho
Iron City Mutual Life Insurance com
piny which tbe defendants are charged
with burning tbe building for the pur
pose of defrauding.
FACT NOT MATERIAL.
Judge Gnnsler ruled that tbe fact
was not material, as the issuing and
acceptance of the policy was sufficient
for tbe purposes of tbe case. Mr. Su
per then began his closing address to
the jnry. His remarks for several
minutes were directed to the lniurauce
company and George H. Merritt. whom
he handled without gloves. Finally
District Attorney Kelly interfered and
islted tbat Mr. Siper be compelled to
confine his r-marks to the oaee at issue
Mr. Merritt, who hail been turning
white aud crimson by turns undsr tin
caustic remarks of Mr. Super, thought
it a good time to enter a protest and
jumping to bis feet witb outstretched
hunds he demanded justice. Judge
Ounster's gavel promptly reminded
him that bo was out of or ler, and two
tipstaffs shoved him down into a chair.
Mr. Soper said tbat he Would confine
his animadveriious to thecaas and pro
ceeded. He commented unfavorably on
the fact that a certain paper had been
served on Rowluud lu his cell in the
county jail Wednesday night by the
district attorney.
mk. BOPBR called DOWN'
This statement brought the dislr ict
attorney again to his feet and this
time it waa plain to see that he was
angry. Addressing Judge Ounster he
said :
"1 would like to have the cmrt in
struct this gentlemati to stop lying
about this ease to the jury."
He then proceeded to inform Mr.
Soper that no paper of nny kind had
been served bv him on Rowland at
the county jail. The argument was
proceeded with but until it closed
Mr. Soper continued to express
himself freely concernlug the in
snranoa company aud its agent
Mr. Merritt. The latter be re
ferred to as a "very bright, very smooth
and very garrulous young men who
jnmpt up and interferes witu the ad
ministration of justice."
In opening his address to the jury
Mr. Kelly said he would uot attempt to
answer Mr. Ssper's arzumsnt for if be
did he would nay nothing about the
case ;is Mr. Sopsr had kjpt entirely
aloof from the facts
MR, KELLY CRITICISES.
"There ia one man at this bar," c in
tinued tho district attorney, "who do
not seem to be able to stick to the facts
in a case and stand before a jury and
tell the truth. SUybe you can guess
who that attorney is." He then pro
ceeded to show where Mr. Sjper had
made many misleading statements dur
ing his address.
William ltowiand, son or Jo in low
land, was indicted for the same off en is
as his parents, but did not uppjar for
trial. Judge Ounster directed that he
be included in the triad, but as there was
no evidence co connect him with the
trial, be will bo acquitted. At 5 o'clock
Judge Gunster finished his charga and
tbe jury retired.
In court room Xo. yesterday morn
ing tbe trial of StanasWus 'Zdinski for

markers.
South bound trains will have unlim
itel right of way over north bound
trains of the same class.
Five blasts from the locomotive
whistle will call ths fliguian baok, in
stead of eight as now. Three long
blasts when the train is running is a
signal that the train has pmel.
The cord signals ou passenger trains
will be one blast to start, tw to s'o;),
three to atop at uext station When
the train is standing two blasts are
signal for tlie engiueer to call in the
flagman,
As the new rules require tin more
frequent use of the whistle, engineers
should ponder well rule Go, which says:
"The unnecessary use of whistle is
prohibited; when necessary iu nhiftiug
at stations and iu yards, the eugitie
ball should be rung, and the whistle
ussd only when require I by rule or
law, or when necestiry to prevent accident."
DIR. GR1ER WANTED TO INSIST
As There Was No One to Ins'st on It
Could Not Be Done- Mr. Golden
Objected to Turning Detective An
other Ordinance Will Be Ready to
Be Reported on at Monday Night's
Meeting.
That Browning ordinance, taxing
telegrap'i, telephone and electric light
and street cur poles $1 each has uot
yet materialized. It was confidently
asserted .by persons interested in the
ordinance that it would ba in its
proper box last night waiting for the
license committee of thi common
council to act upon it, but it was not.
At 8 o'eloek laat night Chairman
Jamaa J. Grier aaaambled his commit
tee, consisting of T. II Golden, Mor
gan Sweonoy, Daniel P. Battle and
Flenry Williams, and proceeded to dis
cuss the situation. Ho told them that
the ordinance they met to consider had
been stolen and wanted to know what
they would do about it.
Mr. Sweeney thought that the only
thing they could do would be to in
ntruct the chairman of tbe committee
to collaborate with the city. solicitor
and evolve another ordinance tbat
would take the place of tbe one stolen.
This suggestion met with apDroval,
but Mr. Willftms did not think it
could be doue while the lost, strayed or
stolen ordinanoe was wandering about
the city in some one's inside vest pock
et. The other meiubera of the com
mittee, except Mr. Grier, did not
think it mattered much where it wand
ered to, as it did not prevent another
ordinance from being drafted.
OltlLR WANTED THE ORDINANCE
Mr. Grier said he thought the com -mittee
should insist on the ordinance
being produced, but Mr. Golden was
unable to discern anything to insiBt on
as there was absolutely nothing before
the committee. Mr. Grier again
claimec tbe attention of the committee.
"There ure two members of the com
mon council," he stid, as he slowly
closed his left eye and then deliber ately
opened it ugain, "who have pub
licly stated that they are in favor
of a $1 ordinanoe aud for that reason
they voted to kill the ordinance taxing
peles 50 cents euch. Now 1 believe iu
giving these gentlemen au opportunity
of moving for reconsideration of that
ordinance and then ameudiug it to read
$1 per pole. If they refnsa to do so let
us have an ordinance ready to report
aud see that the council pisses upon it
without delay. "
Mr. Golden again reminded Mr.
Grier that there was nothing before
the committee an 1 th chairman re
plied: "There was something before
us hut it was stolen from us and it is
nnr duty to find oat where it went "
Mr. Golden then suggested that, the
city appropriates mouev for detective
service and can hardly expect its
councilman to become Monsieur Le
coqs. NOTHING WOULD BE SAFE.
"If we let this matter go everything
that goes to committees will be stolen,"
declared Mr. Grier. "iliats the easiest
way of killing an ordinance if allowed
and tolerated by tbe councils."
It was decided to have another meet
ing of the committee before Monday
night's council meeting, and if the
ordinance haa not then materialized
another will be substituted for it iu
case those who favor a $1 tux on polls
refuse to racousider and ninsnd the
fifty cent ordiuHnce.
Ellsworth Drvief, one of the council
men referred to as favoiing a $1 tax,
said after the committee adjourned
that be would not assist in reconsider
ing the old ordinanae but will give the
$1 tax ordinauce his most earnest sup
port. He declared that it will be passed
by the councils.
J. W. Browning, the father of the
last ordinance, served uotice on the
common couucil before it adjourned
last night that if lit ordinance does
not make its appearauco by Monday
night he will introduce a similar measure.
