HOME BADLY DAMAGED. It Was Visited by lira on Saturday Afternoon-Inmates All Taken Safely from the Burning Building. The Home of the Friendless on Ad ams avenue, near Gibson street, was the scene of a lire Saturday afternoon, which, had it happened at nlsrht, might have canned Injury and perhaps death among the twenty-eight children and eight old ladles. Inmates, and the ma tron and assistants. However, no acci dents occurred. The Humes caused enough damage to prevent occupancy of the Home for probably two weeks. The fire was discovered soon after 4 o'clock by Matthew Robllng, who lives In that vicinity. He notllled Mrs. Wal ker, the matron, and an alarm was sounded from box 25, corner of Adams avenue and Olive street, which brought Phoenix Chemical, Crystul, N&y Aug und Relief companies to the scene. An other alarm from box 28, corner of Jef ferson iivenue and Gibson street, brought the Century and Neptune com panies from the South Side and Hook and Ladder compnny. The flames appeared In the roof work nnd walls of the upper rooms In the south wing of the building, and. It was later fuund, extended all the way up Inside the walls from the first floor, where they started from a defective furnace flue. Prompt work -with the chemlcul apparatus checked the first onslaught of the lire, but it wan neces sary to resort to water to finally Bub due them. The firemen were at work for two hours. It is estimated that the building was damaged $2,000 and furnishing Jl.tiOO. Tills is fully protected by un liinuranco of $10,000. The young and old Inmntes of the Home were housed by neighbors, but eventually sixteen children and four old ladies were taken to the Young Wo men's Christian association rooms, where they will remain until the Home Is again ready for occupancy or until after a meeting of the board of man agers, with the advisory board at 9 o'clock this morning in tln Young Men's Christian Association rooms.

BAILEY IS WAVERING Timid About Accepting the Demo cratic Nomination for Mayor. WILL B0LAXD BE TIKXEDD0WN Conference Held Last Nlcht at Which the .Matter Was Discussed Mcsslt of Saturday's Democratic Primaries. Lackawanna Township Caucus. Leaders of the Democrats of the city are still somewhat at sea concerning the make-up of the city ticket. At a meeting held in the St. Charles hotel Saturday night the following ticket was agreed upon: Mayor, James A. Bailey; city con troller. Edward Robinson; city treas urer.' C. 1.1. Boland; assessors. Charles Yoos, Jacob Smith and Lawrence Du hlgg. Yesterday Mr. Bailey was disposed not to accept the nomination even if tendered to him although lie had given seme assurance Saturday night that lie would accept. He told the leaders that .they were forcing him to lead a forlorn hope nnd that If there was a reasonable chance of election he would not be accorded the nomination. To offset Mr. Bailey's arguments the leaders told him that as an earnest of their sincerity of purpose toward him and Interest in his behalf the nomina tion would be tendered to him freely and without cost and thut the money to conduct his campaign would be fur nished. Still Mr. Bulley hesitated and at a late hour last night It was reported that he was still In doubt as to the course he will pursue. One of Bailey's Fears. It is stated on excellent authority that one of Bailey's strong reasons for hesitating ubout goipg on the ticket was the fear that he might not receive the entire vote of his party and that our zealous friends of the other candi dates would neglect to work us hard for him us for their particular favorite. Dr. Hurnett was seen by some of tho leaders yesterday morning and they talked over the situation. Last night the doctor said he could not under any circumstances be Induced to become a candidate for mayor. A conference of a number of the leaders was held In the afternoon to consider the case of Bailey. Last night John J. Fahey, M. P. 'Flvnn. Joseph O'Brien. John P. Kelly. Charles Schadt and H. T. Koehler met nnd had an earnest consultation con cerning, the trensurershlp. What oc curred there those present refused to divulge but It Is understood thut the ad visability of turning down II. Boland and slating M. J. Kelly was discused at length. It was argued by some thut it would be the part of wisdom to take such action. This morning there will be another conference between candi dates and leuders when something defi nite may be arranged. ' v ; v.. G. Boland interviewed. mmmm Mr. Boland was seen- at hts home on Stone avenue last evening by a Tribune reporter. When tho subject -of politics was introduced Mr. Boland smiled and shook his head, saying: "I wish my friends would kindly let me alone. I am not a candidate for any ofllee, but the leaders of the Democratic pnrty In the cltv held a conference Saturday night at the St. Charles hotel and se lected James O. Bailey as the candidate for mayor, myself for treasurer, and Edmund J. Robinson for controller. The situation is still the same, but I km not In any sense a candidate for of fice at the present time." The reporter asked Mr. Boland If he would consent to co on the ticket for treasurer, and he said that If Mr. Bat ley agrees to take the mayoralty nomi nation, he might then be induced to ac cept that of treasurer.

In the various districts of Lacka wanna township the Democratic cau cuses were held Saturday afternoon from 4 to 7 o'clock, and they deserve to take front rank among the lively inci dents of the current campaign. The caucus of the South district, held at No. 3 school, Mlnooka, was especially Inter esting. The two prominent factions had each a set of slated candidates and there was a fierce battle fought until the last ballot was deposited. A heav. avote was polled, the number oast being Z!S3. rairica v.oyne wan nominated ror supervisor, Thomas F. Coyne for school director, and M. J. Egan for township clerk. That was the slate championed by John J. Coyne, and he made u vigorous fight for victor1. The opposition slate was: Anthony CuslcK for supervisor. Thmas Mongan for school director, P. J. Mulherin for township clerk. The rival forces first assembled In open ses sion in the school house and measured swords. The Coyne element proved the stronger and selected John T. Brown for judge of election over Justice of the Peace P. F. O'Hara. Before t he ballot ing began the following district officers to be voted for next month were chosen by a viva voce vote: Judge of election, Stephen Kenavey; majority inspector, James Mangan;- minority inspector, Patrick F. McDonnell. For conferees to represent the district, Patrick Lowry, John J. Lydon. James Mangan. John T. Holleran and Thomas Butler were cho sen. Patrick J. Diskln was unanimous ly nominated for register of voters. This much over, the polls opened and the fun began. The count was as fol lows: Supervisor, Patrick Coyne, 159; Anthony Cuslck, 112; John O. Jennings, 20. School director, Thomas F. Coyne, 150; Thomaa Mongan, 119. ' Township j clerk. M. J. Eean, 151; Patrick J. Mul herin, 72.

At Moosic, the West district, James Ward was nominated for supervisor, and at the Sloan Patch, the East district, Dennis O'Lenahan was nominated for school director for three year.

He was discharged only a short time ago from the Lackawanna hospital af ter a long confinement there with eye trouble. TALL1E MORGAN RESIGNS. The Well Known Musical Director Will Tal e Charge or a Mew York Church Choir on Sunday Next. Tallle Morgan closed his engagement with the First Presbyterian church as chorister last evening, and next Sunday he begins a year's engagement at the Washington Square Methodist Epis copal church. New York city. Mr. Mor gan will continue to reside In this city spending Frlduy and a part of Satur day here. He has had charge of the music at the First Presbyterian church tor the past two years, and his chorus of twenty-six voices hus Justly gained the reputation of being one of the finest in the valley. All the choir has also resigned, together with the present mu sic committee, of which A. W. DieKson Is chairman. It Is a very pleasant thing to know that not the least disagreement or bit terness exists, and the choir with its leader leave with the best and kindest wishes of the membership and congre ration. The choir will not disband. but will at once reorganize Into a glee society under the leadership of Mr. Morgan, slid rehearsals will be held every Friday evening. Leading Heme in Musical Circles. Mr. Morgan has been a leading figure In the music of this city for the past ten years, and his sight singing classes has been the means of creating a great deal of new musical material. As high as a thousand pupils has been under his charge during one season, and some of his choruses has numbered five hun dred members. Mr. Morgan's most no table work was the production of "The Fall of Babylon" In character at the Frothlngham. nearly five hundred sing ers being in the cast. It was by far the greatest musical dramatic work ever at tempted in this city, and Its great suc cess Is still remembered by our citizens generally. He will organize at the Washington Square church a chorus of one hun dred and fifty to two hundred voices, He has already been engaged to teach sight singing to the great Temple choir of Brooklyn, which Is under the direc tion of the well known organist and nu thor. Prof. E. M. Bowman, and nutiv bers ISO members. He meets that cho rus every Monday evening His Work in New York City. Mr. Morgan's music, however, will not be his chief work in New York city. He has been the manager of the Nation al Press bureau for the past three years, und the head office has been removed to New York. He has under his charge over one hundred newspapers, with a total circulation or over half a million copies for each Issue. He supplies twelve columns of matter a week, which goes to the papers In plate form' ready to print, ne is also the managing edit or of the New York True Reform, the city organ of the Prohibition party. It looks like a good deal of work to un- aertake ror one man. but he has been doing It for the past three years, and everything Is done well. A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM Uiven a Splcndld.Prodncllon at the Acad emy of Musis. "A Midsummer Night's Dream," with a wealth of beautiful stage settings, was seen at the Academy of Music Sat urday night by a large audience. The company that produced It was under the management of Arthur Rehan and the comedy was given as nearly like Daly's sumptuous revival of It ns the possi bilities of a traveling company will al low. The stage settings throughout were beautiful and artistic, the woodland scenes in the second, third and fourth acts excelling the others in these re spects. The comedy Is one of the most poetic of Shakespeare's works, one diffi cult to stage and easily marred by In adequate setting. Saturday night's production was the work of an artist, deft In the difficult art of harmonizing colors and producing beautiful stage pictures. An excellent company spoke the lines of the comedy Among the members of it worthy of mention were John Doud, John Craig, Byron Douglass, William Sampson, George Lecoir. Miss Eliza beth Orath. Miss Lila Convere. Miss Marie Wellington, Miss Lillian Swain, Miss Sybil Carlisle. D., L. AW. FOREMAN'S FUNERAL Thomas McMillan Buried Saturday In Forest Hill Cemetery.

HOW THE JUDGES WILL ACT Court Etiquette Provides That Everybody Shall Rise When tho Crier Announces the Judges' Entrance Particulars of the Duties of the Body. The first session of the superior court of Pennsylvania will begin In this city today in the Federal building. Twice has the court But In Philadelphia while the seven members were holding an ap pointive office, but the session which begins here today Is the first since the Judges were elected to their high office by the people. At 11 o'clock the court will open and will continue in session alt this week and probably during three days of next week. Etiquette of the supreme court of the United States, lately adopted by the supreme court of Pennsylvania will be followed in the superior court. When the judges enter the chamber the crier will strike his desk with a gavel and formally announce, "The honorable, the president Judge and the associate Judges of the superior court of Pennsylvania." Lawyers and spectators will be standing while this announcement Is made and will not be seated until the judges oc cupy their chairs. The method of prac tice will be the same as that before the supreme court. It will be the first official sitting In the superior court by Judge P. P. Smith, of this city, who was not a member of the body appointed by the governor, This circumstance and the fact that Judge McCarthy, appointed by Clover nor Hastings, was not afterward elect ed by the people, accounts for the Indiv Idual positions of the judges on the bench. The law provides that the presi dent Judge and positions and seniority of the other six must be decided by lot. Under their appointive term Judge Rice, of Wllkes-Barre, was chosen president Judge and Judge Orlady oc cupied seventh position at the extreme left or the president judge. Judge Mc Carthy was No. i and occupied the ex treme right. He not being afterward elected, his place naturally falls to No. 7, which is Judge Orlady. No. 7 Is the position of Judge Smith, the only Democratic judge and the only Judge not a member of the court under the appointive term. 1 Selecting the Positions. White the law specifies that seniority and position shall be decided by lot. the court In a way carried out the letter of the law and arranged the drawing by- numbers so that the members will oc cupy the same positions as before elec tion, except in the case of Judges Or lady and Smith which is explained above. Beginning at the right of Judge Rice will sit Judge Willlard, No. 2; at ! t ? i 2 t III-8! I at 9 at 3 O the left of Judge Rice will sit Judge Wlckham, No. 3, and so the seniority continues alternately from right to left. According to seniority, are Judges Charles E. Rice, of Wllkes-Barre; E. N, Willard. of Scranton; John J. Williams, of Beaver; James A. Beaver, of Belle- font e; Howard J. Reeder, of Easton; George B. Orlady, of Huntingdon; P. P. Smith, of Scranton. They will be at tired In long black silk gowns, cut large around the neck and displaying collar and cravat, with big sleeves slit at the wristbands so as to permit free use of the nana and arm. After the crier, W. K. Taylor, of Philadelphia, has formally announced the entrance of the court, the opening business will probably consist of the handing down of opinions. Probably two or the three court tipstaves will be present. The three are Daniel Ahearn and Samuel Collins, of Philadelphia, and John T. Comly, or Jenklntown, Montgomery county. Samuel H. Stev ens, of this city, is court prothonotary. It is his duty to keep a record of ap peals and a docket, which contains the court minutes. To the superior court Is' appealed all civil cases involving amounts of less than $1,000 and criminal cases other than murder. From this body an appeal cannot be taken to the supreme court unless by vote or four of the seven Judges of the superior body or upon the request of any one member of the supreme body. Either event Is un likely and will probably occur only in a case of extreme Importance or where the superior court decision on a point of law is as close as 4 to 3. when it is assumed, the judges would be unani mous in consenting to an appeal. But suctl occasions are sure to be very In frequent. Judge Wlckham Arrived first. Judge Wlckham was the first of the court to reach Scranton. He arrived early Saturday evening. Judges Smith and Willard reside here and Judge Rice lives In Wllkes-Barre, only an hour's ride from here. It was expected he would have for his guest over Sunday Judge Orlady, who, however, was de tained in Philadelphia on business and reached here lust night on the Lacka wanna midnight train from Philadel phia. Judge Reeder arrived on the 0.30 p. m. Jersey Central train.

Frear's grocery store, next to the armory on Adams avenue, at 1.30 o'clock yesterday morning.
