STRUCK OFF ASSF.SSMF.XT.
Serantnn Traction Company Will Not
llnvo to Pny Taxo on Plant.
Inspector Gallagher, of the Hcranton
Tructlon company, yesterday appeared
before the city hoard' of appeals nnd
asked that the $18,0110 assessed valua
tion of the company's power plant n
Providence road lit ,'the Twenty-first
ward, be stricken from the books. The
same appeal was made last year to the
city assessors und was grnnted. The
decision was then based upon a written
opinion of the city solicitor, who yes.
terdny submitted to the board of appeal
the opinion of 18114. with the result that
the exemption will be allowed.
The 1WI4 opinion holds thut "the power
house Is undoubtedly exempt, as well
ns the attached building so far aa It Is
used for the storage of cars, but that
unoccupied real cstnte - should be
tnxed," which means that tho company
Will pay taxes on one-half acre assessed
at 11,000 In the rear of the power house,
NEWS OF THE SOUTH SIDE
Barn of Scticucr Brothers, Bakers,
Damaged by Fire
WORK OP THE FESTIVE FIREBUG
No Insurance Was Curried on the Stable
or Contents Narrow l-:scupe of Seven
Horses Damage by Fire and
Watcr Kstlinated at $1,500.
Some persistent fire bug Is engaged at
hla nefurlous work on the South Side,
but fortunately, except In one Instance,
the destruction of the barn of the Casey
& Kelley Brewing conipuny's barn, his
attempts have fulled. Whoever the In
dividual is, or whutever his purpose,
tho property owned by Scheuer Broth
ers, bakers, appears to be Ids special
object of attack. At one time It was
suspected that a woman residing on
Locust Btreet was responsible for tho
tires, but enough of proof could not be
ollected to convict her, und on that
account her name Is not given to the
public.
Tho lire which broke out last night
at 8:4", the alarm being sounded from
box M, at Cedar avenue and Elm street,
orlginuted In the barn owned by the
Scheuer Brothers. It Is situated be
tween Locust und Brook street, and
stands on the edge of the creek. It Is
directly In tho rear of the Meadow
llrook brewery and surrounded on ull
sides with frame buildings. A super
human effort would have to be made to
control the lire if It had nut been dis
covered 111 time.
Hurry Rcniile lives nt 213 Locust
street, less than a block from the barn,
and he works us teamster for Scheuer
Brothers. Some one shouted to hint
thut the barn was on lire, and he rushed
to the scene. When he arrived he
found the fire broke out In the rear part
of the stable where a large quantity of
bedding straw hud been stored away.
The flames were eating their way rap
Idly to the roof. Seven horses were
stabled In the barn and It was Rennle's
first effort to liberate the anlmals.whlch
he suceeded In doing with Borne dllll-
culty. In the meantime the fire com
panies had arrived, the Centurys first,
and their hose was the first to direct a
stream on the tire. With the assist
ance of the Neptunes and William Cou
ncils the fire was got under control In
less than an hour.
Chief Engineer Ferber was punctual
ly on the scene and directed the efforts
of the firemen. He wus seen by a Trl
bune reporter after the fire und ex
pressed the opinion that It was of In
cendlary origin. Philip Scheuer, of tho
firm, was Interviewed, und declared
positively thut it wus the attempt of a
tire bug. No Insurance Is curried on the
building und counting the damage to
the barn and to the stock of hay, feed
and straw, he estlmatos the loss lncl
dent to the Are at $1,500.
Whoever the person Is that applloa
the match to the buildings that have
been set on lire In that vicinity, he
chooses a very appropriate field of
operations. The lire last night Is the
sixth attempt made In that neighbor
hood. Less than twenty feet across the
brook is the bakery, and In the upper
story are packed away upwards of D00
empty barrels and boxes. The Meadow-
Brook Silk mill. Hand's brewery and
Helrelgel's wagon making establish
nient are all situated closely together
and would feed the fire most disastrous'
ly. Evidently this Is a case for the po
lice to Investigate.
Sonnnhcnd's New Editor.

tral city as a prominent barber, having
been for several years the proprietor of

Kmmett D. Nlcholls, of Wllkes-Bnrre,
brother of the mayor of that city, ad
dressed a meeting of the Central Prohi
bition league last evening ut Conserva
tory hall upon "The Present Licensing
System." Ho traced the authority, re
sponsibility nnd results of the system
and argued that the government had
entered Into a partnership with the
liquor trnlllc In 18(1:2 to raise more reve
nue, and thut the Interest of the govern
ment exceeded that of the liquor deal
ers. He condemned the alliance In
scathing terms und denounced It as con
trary to the established principles of
Christianity, which should always gov
ern a Christian nation.
'Mr. Nlcholls dwelt on the difficulties
contended with at Wilkes-Hurre In en
forcing the laws, and mnile a powerful
appeal to Prohibitionists to remain in
the field and light the battle politically
untll the liquor traffic had been "wiped
out of existence.
Chairman W. W. Lathrope Initiated
a general discussion, In which he ex
pressed his disappointment at the
granting of a license to a person In the
Thirteenth ward, notwithstanding that
the presiding Judge had declared that
the applicant had been guilty of viola
tion of the law and that sufficient evi
dence had been glverf to warrant a con
viction. SWINDLING A CONSTA RLE. x

JuiJohn M. Kennedy, of nttsburg,
has Just ruled that although a railroad
passenger travels on a pass the com
pany is not exonorated from paying
damages In case the passenger is in
jured. The case Is that of Albert J.
Edwards, formerly assistant postmas
ter of Pittsburg, who asks for $15,000
because he was disabled on tho Penn
sylvania railroad In a wreck at Steel-
ton in January, 1893. Mr. Edwards had
his hip Injured, and will always be
forced to carry a cane. Superintendent
Robert Pltcairii testllled that he Issued
the pass on which Edwards was travel
Ing, and this was set up by the com
puny ns ground for a non-suit.
Says the New York Sun: "So long
as clergymen ure permitted to travel
upon railroads ut half rates, so long
must the shortage in their fare be paid
by other travelers. The establishment
of cut rates for any privileged class of
people Is demoralizing, and the hon
orable clergy should not only protest
against it, but should firmly refuse to
take advantage of it."

TO our patrons:
Wushburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their many pat
rons that they will this year hold to their usual custom
of millins S'i KICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, and
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers are
of the opinion that it is already cured, und in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will take
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail ot milling has
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above other
brands.
