Parks About 1 o'clock yesterday morning the double house was discovered to be on fire, but with the quick aid of the neighbors the blaze was extinguished before any damage was done.

Van Wert was brought out asaln and said that he knew nothing about the fire and explained that If he told the officers anything different that he did so because he was excited. Ho is i son of Stephen Van Wert and lives at home. The reason he was out when found by the police was, he said, that he went over to the place where the fire had been. Alderman Millar held him under $300 to appear at court. George Dearie, a boy 15 years old was sworn, and he testified that he heard Mrs. Samuel Van Wert on March 15 last say sh would burn the house.

THEY OPERATED IN SCRANTON Received Wntnlna to Leave tho City Ho foro tho Police Could Unit Tlic.m-I.et' tcr from IlliiRluuuton's Mayor Asking fur Their Arrest. Two educated and gentlemanly ai pearlug individuals who canvassed this clity with a scheme which they claimed was functioned by the Commercial Traveler's Home association, have left the city suddenly. On the heels of their depiipiuro word comes from Mayor Green, of llinglininlon, nnd other re sponsible business men of that city, that the two men are lmposters nnd should Ik- arrested for obtaining money under false pretenses. Following Is a copy of a letter re ceived by Mayor Council from ltlng- hamton's mayor: Hon. W. L. Council, Scrnnton, Pa. My Dear Mayor: At u meeting of the sub-executive committee of the Commercial Travelers' Hunfe Bssocla Hon. of America, held this day, 1 wns, for the first time, advised that certain parties have been operating In Scran ton, claiming to Tcpresent the Home iimsih latlon or the Home now In pro cess of construction In thiH city, I en close herewith copy of statement Is sued by the sub-executive committee which Is self-explanatory. Word has already been given through the Associated and united l'rens re ports that the scheme is a swindle Knowing the Hose relation, fraternal nnd otherwise, existing between many residents of your splendid city nnd l'.lnghamtonlans, I can sec how shrewd operators claiming to represent th Home would be able to do a good business In Scranton. I sincerely hope that the warning h.is been sutllelently timely to prevent your citizens from be ing imposed upon In the manner de scribed. If the parties are still operating In Scranton, and Halm to represent the Home association, they should be ar rested for obtaining money under false pretenses. With regards, I am, Yours truly, George K. Green. Bingham ton, N. Y., June 1, 1S'.)5. Details of Their Scheme. The circular accompanying Mayor Greens letter describes the scheme In ueiaii. me anegcu operators are handling a large lithograph poster snowing a picture of the proposed Home building, which Is surrounded by tradi cuts. To accompany each cut an ad vettlsement of some local concern is solicited. The chart contnlns the an nouncement of a copyright by Fr.uik Alexe, New York city. The sub-executive committee's warn ing circular states that the Home asso ciation is in no way interested In the chart and that there is no connection between Frank Alexe nnd the associa tion. The circular concludes by cm phatiealiy stating that tho workers of the scheme are impostors, and Is signed by C. C. Frisbie, G. F. Swigert nnd George E. Green, of the sub-executive committee. Nearly two weeks ago Alexe, who heads the scheme, arrived here, and af ter starting his two agents, W. J. Harry nnd R. Basset, of New York city, on their work, left the city. Basset is an elderly and dignified looking old gentle man, and was apparently assisted by Barry, a much younger man. They stopped at the Wyoming, and on the plea of being sanctioned 'by tho Home association, were given rates at the hotel. They canvassed among only leading business concerns and had secured con tracts for nearly all the advertising space on tho chart, but loft suddenly last Wednesday night on a Lackawan na train bound east. It has not been learned that they secured any advance payments, and the police theory Is that they received warning. EPWORTII LEAGUE ill EM HERS. Will Meet in Convention at Ashttry At. E. Churali.

Two stops were innde on this division, one ut tho hand some hike which gives Its name to the branch of railroad, nnd the other nt Lake Ganoga.

On Sunday morning the party was conveyed to Niagara Falls, and accorded a ride In carriages, a view of the American falls, nnd a ride on the natty little steamer, "..Maid of the Mist" upilmost to the Horseshoe falls. Land ing on the Canadian side, the tourists became for the moment guests of the Niagara Falls Park and River Railway company, which conveyed them In a fpecial car to Chippewa, and then back ward to the DufTerin islands, past the great Canadian falls, beyond the Queen Victoria Niagara Falls park, past the line suspension and cantilever bridges, to the whirlpool rapids, then to the commanding site of the still more com manding Brock monument, which, towering 185 feet high, overlooks Queenston, the fine stretch of beautiful country intervening between Queens ton nnd Lake Ontario, and even To ronto.
