Another meeting of the friends of
Hon. J..A. Scranton was held In'Durrs
hall last night. There were ttfty-nve
men of more or less prominence pres
ent, all but a few being from the city.
Reese G. Brooks presided and Alderman
S. S. Jones, of CarbonUele. acted as
secretary.
The object of the meeting wns an
nounced to be the selection of a running
mate for Mr. Scranton for the national
delegatshlp, he having been named as
a candidate by this same assembluse
last Monday night. It wai decided on
that occasion to Rive lion. John T. Will
iams an opportunity of casting his for
tunes with the 8minton committee and
an embassy was sent to inform him to
that effect. Mr. Williams, so the com
mittee reported, informed them that he
would honor their proposition with due
duliberation, aud if he had anything to
communicate would advise them at
their next meeting.
Mr. Willlums was notified that the
committee would hear him Wednesdny
(last) nlRht. the dnte to which 'Monday
night's session adjourned. Mr. Will
lams evidently had nothing to com
municate, for no mersage was received
from him.
They Proceeded to Business.
After watting a reasonable length of
time for the appearance of 'Mr. Will
lams or his representative, the meet
ing came to the conclusion that his de
cision vus unfavorable to thorn and
proceeded with their business with this
fact in view.
A motion to receive the report of the
eommit'tee whk?h visited Mr. Will
iams and to continue the committee
wan kit by a vote of sixteen aye to
foity-lour nays. The negative responses
wvre given with a vigor which evi
denced ithat there would be no further
parley with Mr. Willlums and this was
borno out by the subsequent action of
the meeting.
In peaklng on tils motion Mr.
Scranton favored placing Mr. Will
iams on Their ticket whether he would
or not. Mr. Williams, he said, had
been guilty of nothing more than any
other man would have done and he did
not believe In "punishing" him. Ttoelr
object was to destroy dictatorial power
and place the Republican party once
more In the hands of the people. It
wns not a tight against William Con
nell, to whom ho made some very com
plimentary allusions, but, he said, it
was a tight against Mr. Connell's
methods. He 'strongly and adroitly ar
raigned "bo?" politics. He also gave
Ma version of the private Interview
which he had 'had with Mr. Connell
during the day.
Drooks Wanted Opinions.
Chairman Brooks, at the conclusion
of Mr. Scranton's speech, asked for an
expression of sentiment from the
others present. At first there was a
feeling in favor of adopting Mr,
Scranton's suggestion of a three
cornered fight, but opposition to this
before long arose and It was finally de
cided to leave John T. Williams out of
the question and nominate a full ticket.
A recess was taken to discuss available
candidates. There was some talk of
Joseph Lloyd, but when the meeting
reopened W. Penn Morgan was named
and unanimously selected In the face of
his brother's statement that he was
quite positive Mr. Morgan would not
accept.
W. S. Jones moved that the chairman
of the meeting, Jleese O. Brooks, be
appointed a committee to "compel"
said facetiouslyMr. Morgan to ac
cept. This was adopted and the meet
ing then turned Its attention to the
selection of delegates to run in the
various districts and to arrange the
minor details of the campaign. The
chairman was empowered to select an
executive committee.
Charles W. Westpfhal, of the South
Side, and (Mayor E. E. Hendricks, of
Carbondale, were Selected as alter
nates. Mr. Connell's Version.
Mr. Connell, when asked yesterday
whether his conference with Mr. Scran
ton had developed anything for publi
cation, said: "There Is nothing new in
the situation, so far as I know. I saw
Mr. 'Scran-ton on private business af
fair, but we also discussed politics.
Before he left for Europe, I had gath
ered fromMhe newspapers that he did
not Intend to oppose my candidacy
for national delegate. It was then
asserted that he had decided not to be
a candidate for that position. When I
was requested to become a candidate
for that position, Mr. Scranton's name
had not been mentioned. Seeing that
he had been a national delegate once
before, while I 'had never sought any
political office whatever, I thought he
might not care to make a fight on me.
"The fact that he is now disposed to
do so Is merely a repetition of history.
He has always fought those who have
not yielded to his wishes. No, I am
not going to fight Mr. Scranton. The
fighting Is all on his nlde. ' But having
agreed to run for this office, I cannot
now stand aside merely to please Mr.
Scranton; and I am Informed that my
friend, John T. Williams, is not In
clined to, either.

FINE RESIDENCE BURNED.
Fire Originated la Some I'nkaown Man
ner in tho House of Luthor Keller on
Clay Avcnne-I.oss Over $10,000.
Luther Keller's residence, on Clay
avenue, near the corner of Vine street,
was partially destroyed by fire at day
break yesterday morning. The rear
part of the house will have to be re
built, and the remainder, where the
flames did not reach but which was
soaked with water, will have to be reno
vated. The entire loss will approxi
mate 910.000. About two-thirds of the
danMige resulted from the destruction
of the household effeots, Mr. Kellar
having spared no expense In tho fur
nishings. ,
The Itames originated In the pantry
on the first floor from some mysterious
cause. (Mr. Keller doe not know what
to think about It. There was no kero
sene oil in the pantry, nothing more In
flammable than eatables. He remarked
that a mouse and a box of matches
might form a combination which would
warrant the supposition that the cause
of the Ore could be explained In tliut
way.
Tho servant girl, whose sleeping
apartment is on the second lloor di
rectly above the pantry, was awakened
by tho smoke and she called Mr. Kel
ler. 'He (hurried down stulrs but was
almost overcome while trying to get
to where the fire was burning. His first
thought was to get his little daughter
out, who was sleeping upstairs. .Mrs.
Keller was not at home, being away on
a visit to relatives in 'Portland. Mr,
Keller got tils child out and took her
across the street to the residence of
Colonel H. M. Botes.
An Alarm Hnn In.
'Meanwhile the colored coachman,
who had been summarily Jostled out of
bed, sent In an alarm of fire from the
box at Clay avenue and Vine street.
Without any delay the Relief Engine
company of Petersburg was on the
scene and got a stream of water on the
flames. Mr. Keller, knowing the plan
of the house, directed the efforts of the
firemen. '
The fire burned fiercely In the pantry
and ate its way upstairs. The first
story of the residence Is brick. The
flames fed on the woodwork inside for
a time and finally broke through the
celling. When tho llro company ar
rived the blaze had begun to find He
way around tho corners of the first
story.
It did not take long to subdue the
fire, but the building was almost entire
ly destroyed In the rear part and every
article of furniture and clothing was
ruined. Ail of Mrs. Kellar's clothing
and the baby's clothing were destroyed
by the fire, and much of Mr. Keller's
effects were burned up.
The nou3 had just been refurnished
and redecorated. The carpets and
furniture had cost more than 14.000,
besides there were costly paintings,
works of art, pieces of bric-a-brac, and
so forth. The ceilings and walls were
very recently decorated In stereo re
lief and frescoed.
Mr. Keller Will Bebnild.
Mr. Keller intends to begin without
delay to rebuild. Enough of Insur
ance was carried to go a good way to
ward reimbursing him for the damage.
Mr. Keller is temporarily at the home
of Attorney At. W. Lowry. The Insur
ance, amounting to $15,000, was car
ried Jn the following agencies: I, U
Post, Robertson & -Hitchcock, Qeorge
H. Rlrdsall and Charles Sohlager. iMr.
Keller lost a valuable draught horse
yesterday that died through Blckness.

Congregation of Pen Avenue Baptist
Church Has Accepted Resignation.
HIS DEPARTURE REGRETTED
Resolutions That Were Adopted Last
Night by the Members of Ills Congregation-Express
Their Heartfelt -Appreciation
of Uis Services.
A meeting of the congregation of
the Penn Avenue Baptist church was
held last evening, at which the resigna
tion of the pastor. Rev. Warren O.
Partridge, was presented and accepted.
Deacon H. A. Browning presided. H.
M. tilrecter and M. W. Lowry were ap
pointed a committee to formulate reso
lution expressing the sentiments of the
congregation toward the retiring pas
tor. Nothing was done in regard to Issu
ing a call for a successor. That will not
come for, perhaps, a month yet. Luther
Kelles was appointed moderator to pre
side at all church meetings during the
period beginning with the departure ot
the pastor on 'Sept. 6, and until a new
pastor Is Installed. The occasion was
the regular weekly prayer meeting
night, and many gave testimony of the
esteem and reverence the pastor had
gained In the hearts of the congrega
tion. The resolutions adopted were as
follows: ,
Whereas. Rev. Warren O. Partridge has
been our pastor for the past tlve years,
and by precept and example has always
Btrlven to reuoh the truedoctrlne of
Jesus Christ and 111m crucified, has
shunned error, and In his dally life has
set for us a good example of noble. Chris
tian manhood, and In all his ministerial
duties has hhown the graces of knowl
edge, descretlon, truthfulness, gentleness,
tolerance, humility, firmness, blameless
liens, seal and devotion, and through all
times of stress und dlltlruHy our church
under his guidance has remained united,
harmonious and prosperous, growing in
membership, influence and spirituality,
and his family have become endeared to
our hearts; and
Whereas, He has accepted a call to the
Ninth Street Iluptiut church, of Cincin
nati. O., therefore
Resolved. That we, the members of Penn
Avvnue Baptist church, of Scranton,
hereby express our heartfelt appreciation
of his services as ipastor to us and to our
church, and of his noble qualities as a
man, a friend and a counselor, and that
we doeply regret losing his ministering
guidance and influence, but we recoirnise
that his new field of labor offers to him a
wider sphere of action In the cause or our
great Muster, and we unite In hearty
wishes for his happiness and success.
Resolved, That this preamble and reso
lution be spread in full In the minutes of
the church and an engrossed copy be pre
sented to the pastor, duly attested by the
church clerk.
PUDD'NHEAD WILSON."
The reader of Murk Twain's recent mag
azine serial who last evening, at the
Academy of Music, for the first time saw
It presented upon the stage was probably
more than once Impressed with the skill
and effectiveness of Mr. Mayo's dramat
ization. He has taken a work of fiction
which, In its orlg.nul form, fell almost
flat and made ot it a live and artistic
drama strong in action and vivid In
characterisation a drama which, lu its
legitimate combinations of personal
Idiosyncrasy, seutionul coloring and his
toric background stands out as one ot
the few thoroughly American plays to
day before the patrons of the American
stage. With a deft hand, Mr. Mayo dis
plays emphasis and intensity of situations
without overloading the dead line on the
opposite side of which lies melodramatic
ranting; and the touches of humor with
which these crucial scenes are lightened
are true and clean, without being bump
tious or exaggerated.
The story, In brief, is that of two Infant
boys, one white and one slightly tinged
with African blood, so much alike that
the white is differentiated from the slave
only by a locket fastened around hi neck.
The mother of the slave, partly in playful
ness, changes the locket to the neck of
her own child, who thereupon Is chris
tened as the heir of the plantation's owner.
But David Wilson, a cllontless lawyer
with a head so full of crinkles and a
heart so full of honor that men who. In
truth, love him yet deprecutlngly call him
"Puddn'head Wilson, prior to the trans
position, secures upon glass Impressions
of the two Infants' thumbs. Years pass;
the Infant boys become men; the real
negro, but supposed heir, is brutal, cow
ardly and mean, while the ostensible slave
but real hair is chivalrous, warm-hearted
and brave. The bogus heir gambles,
steals, attempts to murder his uncle
whose estate he Is to Inherit, and tries to
fasten the crime on the alleged slave;
sells his mother into slavery and degener
ates Into a terror to the community; and
4t Is "Pudd'nhead 'Wilson," with hi
thumb-mark and microscope, which for
a score of years had gained for him only
sneers and contempt, who finally unravel
the mystery, sets the slave free and en
ables a number of complicated love and
other side Issues, which had shared in the
general jumble, to reach a happy con
clusion. The characters which sustain tho brunt
of the drama are "Pudd'nhead," Roxy, the
slave mother, and Tom Drlscoll, the bogus
heir. These parts nre capitally taken by
Mr, Mayo, .Miss Eleanor Morettl, and
Mr. Frank Campeau. There is a fl.avor
and a finish to Mr. Mayo's acting as the
eccentric Missouri lawyer that stamp It
as one of the few original taga creations
of lour day. The kindly pungency of
"Pudd'nhead's" philosophy, hi patience
and cheerfulness under derision and the
rock-ribbed steadfastness with which he
sustains his deductions, his likes and his
aversions, were delineated In a fashion
Indicative of real Inspiration. Nor was
Miss Morettl's Impersonation of the pass
ionate, superstitious, and sensitive slave
far behind In point of artistlo merit. As
foils to the intensity that characterize
much of their work, Miss Oraham's In
genue role of Rowy, Mr. Daly's manly
presentment of Chambers, the white
"slave," Mr. Aikon's Impersonation of the
aristocratic but warm-hearted county
Judge, Mr .Chlsnell's conception of the
rural sheriff, and the bucolic Jurors enact
ed by Messrs. Gill and Tucker performed
with discretion their parts and helped to
complement a production of uncommon
attractiveness. Repeated outbursts of ap
plause, and that finer tribute of rapt at
tention during significant scenes attested
the thorough appreciation of ? a distin
guished and goodly audience,
