ihor zod to send a competent mun to
Baltimore to make n thorough inv.:ati
g.itlou of the machines and tho pat

for money to make it operative. He

RECEPTION FOR M. HAWLEY.
His Nomination for Governor Ratified
and Incidentally a Few citories Aro
Shied at Old Parties.
Charles L. Ilawloy, of Greon Ridge,
tho Prohibition purty's nominee for
governor, was tendered a reception
lust eyeniug at a ratification meeting
of the Groeu Ridge Prohibition league
ut thoir rooms, 015 Grojn Ridge stroet.
Mr. llawley, in respouso to a spuoch
of welcome, remarked that the party
he represents has every reason to hope
for un increased vote next full, and
that,, while ho did not, of course, ex
psot to bo elected, ha thought that tho
Liberal party movement which started
in 1813, and was successful in abolish
ing slavery, was an ovidonco of wkut
might be ticoompllshed by the Prohibi
tionists, Ho said the oumpaign would
bo conducted on tho lino of convincing
education, and not by abusive methods.
Of Uenoral Hastings personally 1
havo nothing to say," Mr. Hawloy re
marked, "but ho is tbo tool of the Re
publican party for whom Mr. Dola
m iter was put forward by Mat Quay
for u inonoy consideration. General
Hastings was sat aside by Mr. Quay
four yours ago for use this fall."
Mr. Hawloy believes tbnt twonty
yours from now tho saloons will havo
been wiriHrt iroin existence by the Pro
hibition party, whiob, like the farmor's
stonewull, 5 feot thick and -1 feet high,
is constructod so that when blown
over it will turn up higher than bo
fore. A feature of the meeting was Attor
ney W. W. Lsthrop's speoch of wel-
coino. Mr. Lathron expitlateil on the
mistakes of tho Republican nnd Demo
cratic partiei, quoted Samuel Dickie,
who recently lectured ut tho Frothing-
ham, and incidentally mentloued Mr.
Hawloy 's name twic. He also men
tloued that Mayor Connell had tho
power, but did not oxercisa it, of forc-
iog saloon keepers to obey tie law.
It was mentioned at th" meeting that
Colonel George W. Bain, Samuel
Dickie and Joseph Cook, of Boston,
would assist Mr. Ilawloy duriug tn -
gubernatorial campaign,
Remarks were made bv Attorney C.

SUR DEf.TH TO FLAME.
Itmarkablt EfflcUncy of a New
and
Simple Fire Extinguisher.
If householders throughout the coun
try would investigate- more carefully
into the claims of wionio of the fire extin
k'uishers that modern science hns per
fected, the grand total of $800,000,000
now annually licked up by flumes in
this country would soon be reduce i.
An exhibition of one of these, tho Rvx,
was made at The TiunuNE office by its
agont, Mr. Thomas, and tho work it
did was simply wondertul.
The Rox extinguisher, which has been
indorsed vory warmly by Chiefs F urber
of this city; Roth, of Wllkes-Barre,
ana Liogg, or uingoamton, is uu ex
ceedingly simple contrivance, so con
strocted as to bo portable to any place
ut any time by any porson capable of
lifting thirty pounds. It throws n
stream from forty-five to fifty feet, ond
tnesointiou which H employs liters Iv
chokes out the fiercest tire the instant
it comos iu contact with the place of
cotntmsiion. lests or tho most exact
ing oharaotor woro made yesterday, be
fere a party of experts, and Iu every
instance tho Rex extinguisher did
more thun had been claimed for it,
lis chief merit is its entire simplicity
of operation. The metallic may
oo hung up anywhere about tuo ollice,
factory or home, and will be roady for
nse tho moment His taken down. It re
quires no attention, except a freshen
ing of ite coutents ouco a year, Aud
it is absolutnly sure death to tho hat
test fire. Mr. Thomas, the mansgor
.'o: Pennnylyanta, who is now stoppiug
at the Wyoming, has placed It-xoxtiti
gnisliers iu nearly every prominent
house in WUkes-Barro und is meeting

CITV OP SCRANTON ENJOINED,
Property Owners of tho Fifth District
Tako Decided Steps to Prevent
Construction of Sewor.
Randolph Crippen, Ambrose; Mulloy
and Michael P. Kelly obtained an in
junction of a preliminary character
ngiiinst the city of Scrnnton yesterday
restraining the city from constructing
section A of the Fifth sower district sys
tem at Providence or from collecting
the assessment luviod for tho construe
tiou of the sewer. They also usk that
the ordinance providing that the sower
bo constructed bj dcclured null and
void, ns it oonllicts with tho statutes of
this government, regulating tbe con
struction of sewers in tho city of
Scruntun. It is held that the ordi
nance is illegal for tho following roa
sons i
Tho city engineer did not mulco un esti
mate of tho coat of constructing a main
sower stating what portion of said cost is
required for local sewerage for any lots or
lands to which any portion of such main
sewer, to bo dosiguiced by councils, shall
sol vo fur local sewernge.
A portion of tho sewers provided for in
said ordinance uro ac.tnully maiu sowers,
but they aro not so d signated in the or-
dinnnco and tho assessments to pay tor tbo
same aro lumped In with tho ussessmorits
for lnterols,coutrury to tho utututo govern
ing same.
The cost of euch lateral sewer is not as
SFsied upon t bo lots or lands along or
throngn which such lateral sewer mas as
provided by law, but such assessment is
laid upon all tho property in tho district
contrary to tho uct of assembly in such
eoso provided.
Tho assessments for damages and tor
cost aud expeusos are lumped together
contrary to law.
Tho wholo assessment Li without author
ity of law.
Tbe question of miking tho injnuo-
siou permanent will bo urgned o n June
2J ut 9 a. m. Attorney L U. Burns
represents the complainants. There
has boen much opposition iu the Fifth
district to tbo present scheme of sewer
age over siuce it wus first broached
Yesterday's action is the outgrowth of
this dissatisfaction.
