The janitor of Professor Schilling's

opposite the court house, started a lire
in the furnace about 4 o'clock yester

fact that the Hue was defective. The

chimney came back whence it started,
pouring out of the furnace in dense
volumes, it tilled the building and broke
up a meeting of tile Women's Christian

music school.
The women rushing out of the build

attention of Patrolman Menlzer, who,
with great good sense despatched a still

Another tircat Celebrity Honor the Town
with Ills Presence.
. One week ago Sunday, while the city
was turning out en masse to do honor
to world-wide and lesser celebrities,
our cup of Joy and pride was caused
to oveitlow by the passage through the
city of Hob Fitzsiminons and his party.
Yesterdny, when we would fain have
cried "Hold! Knoiigh!" the city was
ngain honor?il beyond ineusure by the
transit of Petor Matter and his troupe,
who passed through here on Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western train No. 2.
at ft o'clock a. in., bound from lluffalo
to New York.
Like Itob, Peter slept while passing
through here, and therefore possibly
did not know until he got way down In
New Jersey that he had passed through
Harry Cotirtright's home.

BREAKER BURNED DOWN
It Was the Property of the Johnson
Coiil Cumpany.
OKIGIX 01' TIKE IS IXKX0UX
Started in a Itrcakcr that lias Not llccn
Ised for tho Preparation of
Coal for Some Time .May
Uj Ketiullt.
Hreaker No. 1 of the Johnson Coal
company, formerly known as Jermyn
No. 4, at Pticeburg, was totally de
stroyed by lire Saturday night, together
with the surrounding oiillmildltigs. The
loss Is estimated at lltil'.OOO, which Is
probably nearly, if not entirely, cov
ered by Insurance, although the amount
of the Insurance could not be obtained,
as Mr. Johnson attended to that part of
the business, and he is now In Cali
fornia. The fire was discovered shortly before
in o'clock. In a short time thousands of
persons were attracted to the vicinity
of the burning building by the tleive
ness of the Haines, which lighted up the
country for miles around. There was
no staying the progress of the tire, and
it soon became evident that not only
the breaker, but the boiler and engine
houses, blacksmith shoo and other nd
Jolning buildings would be destroyed.
The breaker collapsed nbout M."0
o'clock, but the lire continued to burn
llercely until after I o'clock In the morn
ing. At one time it was thought that
the store, across the road from the
boiler bouse, would also be destroyed.
The buildines which were burned cov
ered an area of over an acre In extent,
and they were nil on lire at the same
lime. Tlie heavens were lighted up for
miles around and the fire could be dis
tinctly sen in this city and In Carbon
dale. Tratllc on the street tullway was
suspended during the progress of the
lire, us It was deemed unsafe to run
the cars over that portion of the road
which runs cloe by the side of the
breaker.
iilUCIN OF FI UK A MVSTKUV.
The origin of the lire Is nut known.
The breaker has not been used for the
preparation of coal slnr-e January, lsir.,
but the hoisting engines und apparatus
have been in constant use and the coal
brought from the shaft wns conveyed
to breaker No. -', back on the mountain.
William Harper, of olyphant. the gen
eral superintendent of the company's
mines, reached the breaker at in.2()
o'clock. He could give no explanation
of the origin of the fire other than that
it might have been caused by the care
lessness of a boy who was directed to
oil the machinery and who might have
accidentally set lire to sonic pnrt of
the works, and then gott away w Itholit
discovering It.
The lire was prevented from doing
even greater damage than It did by the
active work of Kagle Hose company, of
Prieebtirg; Throoii Hose conmany, F.x
eelslor Hose company, of Olyphant, nnd
the Wilson Hose company, of Peckvllle.
They directed their efforts chiefly
toward saving adjoining properly.
The breaker belonged to the Johnson
Coal company, whose president and
general manager Is o. S. Johnson, of
this city. The directors of the com
pany are, besides Mr. Johnson, A. H.
Christy and K. H. Sturges, of this city,
and Joseph It. Dickson und Jesse L.
Kddy. of New York city. The property
formerlj belonged to John Jermyn,
from w hom It was hough t Inst Septem
ber for $tM),itH). There are !KX) acres In
the tract und the estimated amount of
coal remaining untnined is Ic.ikiO.ikiO
tons. The breaker which was burned
was the llrst one built on the tract by
Mr. Jermyn. The reason that .It was
not being operated ut and previous to
the time It was burned is that sulllclent
coal could not be obtained to supply
both breakers. When the Johnson Coal
company took possession of the prop
erty the dully output of coal was only
4no tons per day. t'nder Mr. Johnson's
management this was increased to l.nuo
tons, which he soon honed to double.
WILL PRollARLY UK RF.-P.FILT.
Mr. Johnson was Informed of the lire
by telegraph and he is expected to reach
here Wednesday. lie had Intended to
leave California on Wednesday and ar
rive here next Saturday, but Saturday's
disaster will shor'.en his stay on the
Pacific slope.
Neither Mr. Sturges nor Mr. Christy
knew anything about the origin of the
lire. They were not aide either to fell
the i'lnount of the insurance on the
buildings, although It was the opinion
of both that the property was well In
sured. Mr. Christy said he thought
the breaker would he re-bullt, and
was quite positive that the hoisting en
gines and apparatus would be replaced
as soon us possible.

"THE MA(1C KISS."
Delightful Performance Given by the
Camillo d'.vrvillo Opera Company.
"Madeline, or the Magic Kiss." was
given ut the Frothlngham by Cumille
d'Arville and company on Saturday
evening to a delighted audience which
mude up in enthusiasm what was luck
ing in numbers. "Madeleine" was an
agreeable surprise to many of the regu
lar theatre-goers. Although adver
tised as a comic opera it did not em
brace the hlghly-llavored specialties
that the up-to-date manager considers
essentlnl to the success of light opera.
Cumille d'Arvllle'8 company contained
no contortionist: there were no skirt
dancers; no slack wire performer; the
comedian fell down only once during
the performance, and no one sang "She
May Have Seen Rctter Days."
Yet in spite of the absence of these
features and the coarse Jokes that are
considered indispensable in catering to
the elevated tastes of the American
theater-goer, "Madeleine" with its re
fined ami fnsciiuitlng plot and tuneful
melodies seetmd to crente the most fa
vorable Imnression unon the audience
of any oncrutlc presentation that bus
been given In Scranton since the palmy
days of "Robin Hood." Camille d'Ar
ville fully sustains her reputation as
the leading prima donna on the comic
opera stage today In the title role In
' Mudel.dne ' and her support Is excel
lent both In cast and chorus. Through
a combination of circumstnnces the
house was not ns large as might have
been exnected. but the reception given
the artists of the coinnutiy wns an
indication that the public taste for
clean, r.-llned comic opera of the 011
bert ard Sullivan school hus not been
wholly perverted by the avalanche of
smut and Jingle that has been precip
itated under the name of comic opera
by enterprising people who are anxious
to keep puce with the times.
There Is no iiuestion that the Cam
Hie d'Arville opera company could pack
the Frothlngham tit any time on a re
turn engagement.
mu. dailkyvTappoixtees.
Said That K.J. Ilcntnish Will lie Private
Secretary,
It Is announced on good authority
that Mayor-elect Railey has decided
upon at least one of the appointments
which he will make by virtue of his po
sition. The fortunate man who knows
hi' Is out of the woods Is Kdltor Rlchurd
J. Heamish, of the Free Press, who will
be Ihe mayor's private secretary. Mr.
Ileandsh's prim ipal opponent for the
position was James R. Burnett, of the
Truth. Mr. Ileamish's selection is In
a. measure due to the service which the
Free Press rendered Air. ituilcy In the
campaign. Resides this he Is well-titled
for the ofllce. In the matter of select
ing a private secretary Mr. Railey has
followed tbe cxumple set by Mayor
Council, who chose Mark K. Kdgur,
then a newspaper worker, employed in
the editorial rooms of The Tribune.
The Veil or secrecy us to who the
other appointees will be still hangs
over Mr. Railey and his advisers, it
Is pretty generally conceded, however,
that John Fitzsiminons, of the Sunday
News, will be made captain of police.
It Is said by some that Mr. Railey has
a surprise In store fur the public wlnji
he names the chief of police, but the
friends of Captain Holding seem to be
still confident that he will receive the
appointment. Councilman P. J. Hickey
circulated a petition lust week asking
support for his candidacy for the up
poititment nt chief of the fire depart
ment, and he also is confident that it
will receive favorable consideration.

City l-ngincer Phillips Highly tirntificd
w it li the Kcsnlt of Current Tests,
The city engineer's corps has Just
completed a series of tests of the cement
used in the construction of the two big
bridges, und the result is highly satis
factory. Hy comparisons with stand
ard tests ot cement used in big con
tracts In Washington, which is the mnrt
careful city in the country In the mat
ter of municipal contracts, nnd with
those of other large cities, it is shown
that the cement used In the new
bridges Is as good as the best.
The testing of cement Is quite nn In
teresting operation, flrlckettcs are
made from the material ns It Is being
worked In the beds, nnd these are al
lowed to harden under water. The
first test Is made when the brickette Is
capable of sustaining a quarter of a
pound needle, with a point of the fine
ness of one-twelfth of an Inch. The
next test Is made when It can bear the
weight of a needle having a head
weighing a pound und a point measur
ing one-twenty-fourth of an Inch in
diameter. The first test Is called the
"quick set" ami the second the "hard
set." These tests are according to a
fixed standard and are the princlpnl
tests used In comparisons. Tests are
also made on the time standard. A
brickette that has been solidifying, for,
say. three months. Is tested to see how
many pounds pressure Is required to
break It.
Then it Is comnared with the three
months' tests In other cities. The
weight that brickette will sustain is
determined by a novel scale made ex
pressly for this purpose by the Fair
banks company of HufTalfi. At the
point where the greatest strain Is
brought to, bear, the brickette is ex
actly one Inch across. It is broader by
about half un Inch at both ends. Clamps
ure attached to both ends atid the top
clnmp is connected with the lever of
the scale, nt the end of which the
weight Is adjusted. .
When the brickette snaps In twain
the strain is registered by an automatic
arrangement which cuts olT the How of
line bird-shot, which serves as the
weight. An Inch brickette sometimes
resists a force of as high us Goo pounds.

Defense in the Pickering Trespass Sui
Disputes Plaintiffn story.
In the suit of Kllas Pickering, of Dim
more, for $in,HKi damages against the
Scranloii Traction company, t,lie testi
mony of medical men was heard Satur
day. Dr. Lloyd swore that he wns one
of the pension examiners and that Mr.
Pickering was examined for an Increase
of. pension. The applicant then com
plained of rheumatism, heart trouble,
nnd inability to prforni manual labor.
This was a year almost before the acci
dent. Drs. O'Hi len. Leet. Hurnett and Sulli
van examined the plaintiff last Janu
ary and found that he was not suffering
from pnralysls of the dorsal muscles,
which he claims affects him as the re
run of the shaking up he sustained In
Ihe accident. They also said that If he
suffets from Involuntary control of the
muscles of the alimentary canal. It
would be impossible for him to sit In the
court room as he has during the trinl
of the present case, without showing
signs of pain and fatigue. The case
will be resumed today.
