Mrs. Agnes Mullen's Clothing Set oa I'lro
by 1'lame of a Lamp.
Mrs. lAgneRiMullen, the young wife of
Patrick i.Mullcn. of Stanton street, died
yesterday morning at 5.1!0 o'clock, after
u night of horrible suffering from
burns, caused 'by her clothing catching
tire.
About 8 o'clock Mrs. .Mullen retired
with her two children and Intending
to do some housework after the children
ft II nsleep did not undress. Later she
got up to put more 'bed clothing over
the little ones und while reaching for a
fill lit which was strung on a line across
the room ilacel the small hand lamp
which she was using on the floor.
When she wont to spread the quilt on
the bed the current of air produced by
the waving of the quilt caused the
llnmoa of the lamp to leap through the
chimney and come In contact with her
clothing.
Wore a Garment of l lnino.
In an Instant she was wrapt In flame
from head to foot. Screaming hyster
ically, P'he rushed downstairs and out
upon the rear porch, where her cries
attracted the attention of a woman
named Mrs. Flnnerty and half a dozen
men who were In the neighborhood.
Mrs. Flnnerty, the first to arrive, threw
her flhawl about the woman and the
men, who camo a moment later,
wrapped their coats about her, but
their efforts were too late to be of avail.
Mrs. 'Mullen's body was literally
roasted, even her face being 'burned by
the flames which leapt up from the
clothing about her 'body.
Shp was carried Into the house and
every aballable means was resorted to
In order to ease her agony until Dr.
Sullivan, who had been hastily sum
moned, could arrive. The physician,
upon reaching the scene, applied vari
ous anesthetics to kill the pain, but
nothing succeeded In relieving to any
appreciable degree her Intense suffer
ing. Slip retained a sort of semi-consciousness
until death relieved her. Her
agonizing appeals for relief made the
stoutest hearts about her bedside break
with emotion. At times she was under
the hallucination thnt she was drown
ing in freezing water, but even In her
delirium all her Illusions were coupled
with pain.
Her llnshnnd Summoned.
Her husband, who is a brakeman on
the Delaware. 'Lackawanna and West
ern road, had left the house only an
hour before the accident. He was over
taken by a message nt Nay Aug and
an engine was provided to bear him
to the 'High Works, which Is near his
house. His grief at the pitiable condi
tion In which he found his young and
be -utiful wife, whom he left only a
shi -t while before full of life and hap
plm. tsan be beter Imagined than pic
ture (.'
iMrs. iMuilen was but 25 years of age
an unusually attractive In appear
ance and was highly esteemed and be
loved by all who knew her. Tho fu
neral will take place tomorrow after
noon at 3 o'clock. Interment will be
made In Hyde Park Catholic cemetery.

LIQUGl IIEITUI. BATHE
Adopt Measures for a Vigorous
; Campaign.
KILL ATTACK LEGISLATIVE ACTS
Interesting 1'rooeedings of Slate Convcn
tloa of Kctail Liquor Mea-llave
Powerful Organization Which They
Will ta tor Their Betterment.
Before disbanding last evening the
retail liquor men of this state, who as
sembled In annual convention in Music
Hull yeste'day, determined upon and
set afoot a vigorous campaign against
the Hrook.- high license law.
They claim that It Is extortionate and
proHse to secure by legislative enact
ment a reduction of at least SO per cent.
In the present fees. For this purpose
a committee of fifteen, to be known as
the executive committee, which was se
lected toy the general state committee,
immediately following the adjournment
of the afternoon session,' will provide
for the malntalnance of a lobbyist at
Ilarrisburg. who, with the assistance of
the commit tee on legislative enactment,
will draft a new license law and secure
its presentation and passage. If possi
ble, at the next session of the legisla
ture. In addition to this primal object the
committee will endeavor to have re
pealed cert-iin other laws which ure
considered ,by the association either
oppressive Jr fanatical; and, aleo they
will take precaution to prevent the In
troduction, or, at the most, the pass
age of anjj. furthpr legislation Inimi
cal to the literests of the liquor men.
Wi'lr Plnn of Campaign.
In the 8' flress of the state president,
Richard Pitterson, and the reports of
State Organizer P. H. Nolan and C. J.
Andrews. ' hairman of the legislative
committee, it was shown that though
thp organization Is but eight months In
existence li has a membership of nearly
7.000, with 1,000 more available men to
draw upon. It Is proposed to thorough
ly organ Iz this body Into working
shape for campaigning and It Is hoped
to either el-ct a legislature friendly to
the liquor men or at least to prevent
the election of their avowed enemies,
particularly those whom they term
fanatics.
President Patterson, In his speech,
averred th U the liquor league Is sim
ply a prot tlve association. It Is not
artillated v ith any political party, but
It battling of Its own accord for the
rights of I , members.
Clialrma ) Andrews, of the legislative
committee.! In making his report out
lined the work that had been accom
plished so f ir and what 1s contemplat
ed for the omlng year. His commit
tee, he utatf.l, watches the doings of the
legislators at H'arrlsburg and advises
their llqu'r constituency whether or
not they m not deserving of support
If they hap en to come tip for re-election.
If a legislator hesitates or re
fuses to se. things in the same light as
the assort:. Ion lobbyists, his constitu
ents who . re members of the league
are called upon to exert their Influence
with him 1 1 bring him to their way of
thinking. No legislation except that
which imm-diately pertains to the re
tall liquor trade Is Interfered with by
the leagui If occasion demands It,
however, tie league's Ilarrisburg com
mittee may see fit to combine issues
with the bi-wers and wholesalers, thus
making a most formidable alliance and
one which must doubtlesjdy have great
weight.

Sentiments of the Convention.
The resolutions which were presented
at the opening of the afternoon session
were recitative of the oppression and
wrongs to which the retail liquor men,
have to submit: upheld the occupa
tion In which they are engaged, charac
terizing It as a lawful and honorable
business pursuit when properly con
ducted; decried the flagrant violation
of law by proprietors of "spenk-easies"
and by clubs which are per
mitted to deal In liquors with
out paying a license, while the law
observing dealer Is compelled to pay
an exhonbltant ree. the authorities In
the meantime being lax In the proper
enforcement of the law: and, finally,
scored the Brooks high license law as
unjust and oppressive.
A separate resolution endorsing the
clgarmakers' blue label and calling
upon clgarmakers and other organized
bodies of laboring men to patronize
only those liquor dealers who are mem
bers of the league was submitted and
adopted.
Among the amendments made to the
constitution was one providing for the
admission, ns associate members, of
brewers, dls'tlller.s, wholesalers, manu
facturers of mineral waters, cigar
dealers and others engaged 1n supply
Ins; the trade.
The elections were then undertaken
and resulted In the re-election of all the
old officers with two exceptions: J. H.
Williams, of Hazleton, was chosen
financial secretary, and D. F. Flnne
gan, of Carbondale, treasurer.
C. S. Andrews, of Titusvllle; Charlp
Sauers, of Philadelphia, and P. P.
Huckensteln, of Pittsburg, were chosen
delegates to the national convention, to
be held In Washington this winter.
Pittsburg was selected as the place
for holding the next state convention.
(Philadelphia and Wllkes-Barre also
strove for the honor, but Pittsburg
matiugcd to secure thp plum, the vote
being as follows: Pittsburg, .13; Phila
delphia. 27: Wilkes-Barre, 21.
Thp state committee met at Anthra
cite hotel, following the convention,
and nppointed Jlfteen members to com
prise the executive committee, as fol

TIIE LEADERJftTERTAlk
One of Scranton's Leading Dry Goods
Stores Kept Opon-llouso Last Night-A
Complete and Attractive Stock Was the
Chief Kntertnlnment.
The well appointed and thoroughly
stocked new dry goods department
store, The Leader, kept open house last
night for tihe benefit of representatives
of the press; that Ih, the proprietors,
Lk'beck & Corin, Invited the newspaper
men to Inspect the new establishment
in all the l Ichness of Its present open
ing, and Incidentally meet a few friends
of the proprietors Who had been In
vited to share in what proved to be a
revt-latlon.
The firm' mean? of entertainment
consisted chiefly In Knowing their
friends through on of the most attrac
tive t'tore Interiors In this section of the
state. This would pro'ba'bly have given
great pleasure to the guests on any
occasion, but last night's visit was es
pecially enjoyable as 'the store is In
the 'halo of a two-day opening, which
Includes the display of all manner of
fine goods In such profusion, and rich
ness thUt one Ignoraret of the business
wonders whence came all the money lo
acquire sudh a stock, and where pur
chasers will 'be found. But the pro
prietors only smiled when the first
source of wonder was mentioned, and
in reference to 'the latter point said
their trad? for the last two months
has more th'an sattpfled them; so there
was no good rtuson offered for con
cern on thei part of the onlookers.
The oper.'lng began yesterday morn
ing and will continue during today,
when the public Is invited to make
an Inspection, and will not be impor
tuned to 'buy. The ftore Is In Its best
attire and that Is saying 'much. The
fhow of millinery goods, cloaklngs,
silks, furs wnd dress goods will prob
ably attract the favorable notice of
t'iie .houseware, but these departments
are only mentioned Incidentally. One
f ta'ture of The Leader's enterprise is
f-hown In the presence 'there, of Miss
Shlmer, a profesfJomaJ corset fitter, en
gaged to 'measure and fit the famous
"Her Majesty's Coivtet."
Whpn The Leader store was opened
In July there began a well-arranged
purpose of rennovothm. The work has
been well done, and The Leader's Inte
rior may 'be compared to the bpst stores
of large cities in its ventilation, light,
cai:h transfer, counter accessibility and
all else that goes toward a well-ap-IHilntpd
store.

SOME WEATHER STATISTICS
First Monthly Kcport of Voluntary
Observer H. E. l'aine.
SEPTEMBER WAS A SC0KCHEK
It Was an Ideal Month for Picnics and
Outlngs-Raln Fell on But Four
Dnys-Twenty-Two Pays Were
Sunn; and Eight Cloudy.
H. E. Paine, of this city, as local
weather observer, has prepared his
first monthly report and mailed it to
the United States meteorological bu
reau at Washington, D. C. Instru
ments necessary for making the most
thorough and accurate tests were sent
to him when he was appointed volun
tary observer for Lackawanna county.
His residence on Madison avenue Is
very appropriately situated as regards
elevation and freedom from shelter, so
that he is enabled to arrive very close
ly at the correct measurement of tem
perature, rains, winds, etc.
His report contains some very inter
esting statistical andi general informa
tion. He has kept track of the weather
for upward of twenty years past; but It
was not till a little over a month ngo
that he was appointed for this section.
There Is no emolument attached to the
ofllce; all the advantage there is In
being weather observer is that Uncle
Sam gives out a complete and valuable
set of Instruments, thermometers, ane
mometers, barometers, and wlnd
guages, and these must be returned at
any time the observer gets tired of us
ing them. There must be a monthly
detailed statement sent to Washington
of the observations made.
The month of September of this year
was the hottest of any September In
twenty-live years, and Sept 21, the pass
ing of the autumnal equinox, was the
hottest day of the month. The tem
perature registered 95 degrees. It was
the hottest autumnal equinox noted
since the meteorological bureau was
organized.
Noted for Ileal and Brought.
The prevailing characteristics of the
month were heat, drought, and sudden
fluctuation of temperature. The aver
age maximum temperature was 80 1-10
degrees; the average minimum tem
perature was 4'J 8-10 degrees; the aver
age mean temperature was 64 7-10 de
grees. These are very high averages,
and have far exceeded the averages of
the past twenty years for the month of
September.
The temperature from Sept 12 to
14 was marked by a very sudden and
abrupt change, from a very high heat
to a frost on the morning of Sept. 14.
In this respect the month was like
May, last spring, when the weather
changed from tery warm to extremely
cold. There wfie eight days on which
the thermometer went to HO degrees
and above that. The highest was on
Sept. 21, when it registered 95. rhe
coldest was on the morning of Sept. 14,
when the thermometer was as low as
29 degrees, three below the freezing
point. The second coldest morning was
the Inst of the month. It was then at
freezing point.
The average range of temperature
was 30 degrees; that Is to say that 30
degrees Is the average that the ther
mometer varied In any twenty-four
hours during the month. The greatest
fluctuation was on Sept. 27; the tem
perature was 90 degrees at noon and
it dropped 49 degrees before the next
morning. If a man went upon the
streets in the early evening, without
an overcoat on. he would find that
about midnight he would be chattering
like a cage of monkies.
The Amount of K ninfnll.
Mr. Paine believes that It was the
most arid .September that came in fifty
years, to say the least. The rainfall
was very low, only 2 1-10 Inches. It
rained on but four days. There were
twenty-two clear and eight cloudy
days. The prevailing winds were west.
Two thunder storms varied the mono
tony, and one of them was attended by
the heaviest rainfall that descended in
any one twenty-four hours. It fell to
the depth of nine-tenth of an Inch.
The month of September will go down
In history as an anomaly. It was a di
rect opposite to the usual rule and a
cheerful refutation of the dire prophe
cies of earthquakes and siesmatlc dis
turbances forecasted by jaundiced ca
lamity howlers.
THE MIDNIGHT FLOOD.
Attraction at Bnvls' Theater Lost Three
Bays of Week.
"ThetMldnlgiht Flood" Is one of those
dramas which arouses the Interest of
an audience at the outset and holds It
until the finish, yet so deftly Is the
story woven that t'he ppertator Is sel
dom able to de-line the plot in advance
of the setting. In this respect It is
far ahead of t'he average drama, of to
day, and It Is this very fact, coupled
wi'th the perfectly natural and yet
powerful situations which places It In
the ranks wlt'h such plays as "Jim the
Penrr.an."
The scenery Is carried complete for
this production, which comes to Davis"
theater for three nights, commencing
Thursday, Oct. 3, with dally matinees.
