What might have been a serious and wide swufi) of flame last night In the district populated by itussian Jews on the upper end of Raymond court, was prevented by the absence of any breexe and the quick discovery of smoke. Soon ufter midnight a late pedestrian dis covered smoke issuing from the rag and junk storage building, two stories high, at No. 4t anil reporteti It to fa- trolinan Hart on Penn avenue. The policeman experienced some dif ficulty In opening the alarm, box No. 16, at the Dickson works, and the building was wrapped in flames by the time box 24, at the City hall, was pulled by Pa trolman Moir, who saw the llames from that-vicinity, and an alarm was sent In by telephone from the Dickson works office. In the rear part of the structure were horse and cow which were saved from Injury. Across the court is a row of small double houses, anil separated from thetiurnlng Junk building by but a few reet Is the House or iMatnan Huravlts, owner of the two places. The burning rags which were packed In huge bales and the frame work of the building furnished rare food for the llames which shot high into the air. The district fire companies soon had the lire in subjection, but It was nearly an hour before the last embers in the big bales were entirely extinguished. Kuravitz said he hud no insurance ami that his loss would lie ubotit C'.uuO. He bought the pronei'ty early in the yeur from J. S. Miller. COMING OF ENDEAVORERS.

STREET WAS LINED WITH PEOPLE Open Air Addresses Delivered by Hon. A. J. Colborn, jr., and Major Everett Wnrrcu-.Willlnm Council NpoLc in the Club ltooms Aftcrwnrd. His Candidacy Has tiaincd the Hearts of the Pcople--IIou. W. W. Watson, Chairman of tho Evening. Exercises Preceded by u Parade. Thousands were present last night at the exercises attending the banner raising In front of the Central Repub lican club rooms on Washington ave nue. The handsome emblem was placed in position above the center of the street, after the members of the various Republican dubs of the city had terminated a short purude, led by the Luwretice band, uml had assembled to hear the speakers. It was an occasion of much enthusi asm, uml the men who euine out were from the shops and mills and mines. The cordial greeting which they gave to the mention of the mimes of Mujor McKlriley. Mr. Holiurt. William Connell and all the candidates In the Republi can column attested the feeling of earnest intention to go to the polls on election day and win a victory that will entitle Lackawanna county to a proud position among her sister coun ties of the state. Attorney Fred. W. Fleltz was chair man of the committee that had in hand the aiTuiigeinentM for the occasion: It was till under the auspices of the Cen tral Republican club. Assurances hud been received from the various clubs of the city thut they would be proud to co-operate in making It a splendid success; and at 7 o'clock the members of the central club were out with the Lawrence band receiving the oth clubs as they came to the central citj. A II.' of march was formed or? lower Lackawanna avenue, where the Sound Money League of the Delaware, Lacka wanna and Western car shops with 500 members fell In behind the Central club and after them came the Junior Re publican club, the McKInley club, of Hell. vue, the William Connell club of the Kleventh ward, and the Colonel E. 11. Ripple club of the Twentieth ward. The parade turned to Spruce street and up thut thoroughfare to Washington avenue, taking a stand In front of the rooms. The first column of the parade can led .Chinese lanterns. Mr. Fleltz was grand niarshiil and Colonel Ripple, president of the club, marched by his side. Torches were liberally supplied to the ranks. A FINE BANNER. Over the front of the building patri otic colors were draped and Chinese lanterns were suspended. As tho ban ner was drawn out through the front windows on the third story nnd was guyed to its overhead position there was a mighty cheer from the multitude below. Large bust portraits of the presidential candidates appear near the top of the banner and between the por traits Is a shield on which Is seen the inscription: "Protection, Prosperity, and Sound Money." The names of the state and county oflicers are written below. From u ledge over the entrance to the building the sneechmaklng was made. Hon. v . w. Watson was chairman and was introduced by Mr. Fleltz. The ap pearance of Mr. Connell was the signal lor great uppluuse. Hon. A. T. Connell, candidate in the Second Legislative district, was present also, and was loudly cheered. in his opening re murks Mr. Watson said that it was an evidence that there Is an intention on the pnrt of the voters to rally with their might to tho defense of the Re publican standard when they come out In such lnrge numbers to see a banner raised. The Democrats four years ago told the people they were too heavily taxed and G rover Cleveland came Into ofllce. We can see now what hns been the result of his election. Mr. Watson urged upon every man to put forth his greatest effort. "We are irolng to elect two Williams this time. William McKInley nnd Will lam Connell, aren't we?" said Mr. Wat son. "You bet we are." came In a solid chorus from the street. MR. COLBORN INTRODUCED. Hon. A. J. Colborn, jr., was Intro duced ns the speaker of tho evening. His address was given In a clear ring ing style and not a single word of his eloquence was indistinct. He was fre quently Interrupted by applause when lie referred to Mujor McKInley and Mr. Connell. In concluding his address, speaking of the latter he said that his success in this valley stands as the best testimonial of his worth. He began life as a toller and step by step, by his own exertion and ability, has risen un aided to the position lie now occupies. In substance Mr. Colborn's speech was ns follows: Tonight we unfurl our banner to the breeze and with enthusiasm unrestrained we cheer our chosen leuders, not so much for themselves, but more especially for the principles tney represent. The good people of this country cannot find words to express their gratitude to our gallant chieftain for the service which, ns a modest, self-respecting Amer ican citizen, splendidly gifted in nil that constitutes a leader of men, he Is dally rendering at his hime In Canton. It is a spectuele which has not been witnessed before. Knch day the throngs appear, representing nil phirses nnd grades of American life, and for each he hns a fit ting word. Always manly and dignified, always appealing to the noblest, most up lifting nnd patriotic motives, never at a loss for a pithy statement of the truths upon which intelligent nnd patriotic ac tion must depend, no other living man leuds the nation s thought and reeling to day more truly than William McKInley. PROTECTION TO AMKRICA. The platform upon which he stands em braces protection to Amerlilin Indus tries, the maintenance Intact of Amerlcun good faith, the upholding of the American Hag, the giinrilliig of American soil from foreign Invasion, of occupancy, the In violability of the civil rights of every American citizen, the protection of Ameri can labor against injurious foreign com petition, and the preservation of every American dollar as good as gold and no lowering of the standard of American honor, it means Amerlcun manhood. It appeals to no classes and It needs not the arts ot tne iiemngogiies to interpret it. It means that the policy which Washing ton anil Hamilton inaugurated, which Cblv. Lincoln und Hlalne advocated, shall aguln be ntlirmed In American legisla tion. It means mat tne i niteii states will take care of all her citizens, before she studies the Interests of foreign merchants, manufacturers and nations, or announces the reign In commerce of the brotherhood of num. le tneuns that charity begins nt home. It means that our furnace tires shall he kindled, or spindles shall whirl, und comfort and plenty abide In American houses ami prosperity be ordained once more throughout the length und breudth of our land. In the years when Mr. Bryan was In con gress there was plenty or money in the country, but there was no wuy of getting It into circulation. In the proper sense money was not plenty, been use work was not plenty, and work was not plenty be cause Mr, Hryan and his party hud closed the American mills and opened the mills of foreign countries, ulues have shrunk faster and farther than wages, and the classes arid the masses are In the same boat. Free trade has smitten wltji Impar tial hand both employers und working men, yet Mr. llrywn when asked about the tariff, sneerlngly said: "oh, the tariff Is not an Issue this year." Let him ex plain why the so-called crime of 1S73 which he denounces In unmeasured terms, the demonstration of silver which he now bewails, never hurt anybody while a protective tariff was In force. Why' .did this "great crime" slumber peacefully for over twenty years during nepuuiivun ruie anu omy uwase to ruin ous activity, when the Democratic party cume into power? Where was It hiding in sy, und where did It appear us a holy terror In 1M ufter Mr. llryan und his Surty had tlxed their free trude bomb to low our Industries Into the air? It l- so clear that "a way-furlng man though a fool need not err therein" that II Is not the crime of 1&73, but the crime of IStl'J which is the cause of all our woes. Not daring to make a campaign on tho tariff, the shrewd politicians of the Dem ocratic party assisted by the i'npuilsts, put out the silver question, thinking that the people would La so Interested in It thut they would forget their blighted in dustries anil lost and impoverished homes. Hut in this they have boon mistaken, their frenzied ravings nt the srturt scared the whole country. But sanity soon re turned und In thundering tunea Vermont and Maine have spoken and told the world that the lessons of the lust three yeurs huve not lieen forgotten, and their tones have found Hn echo In every stute. where love of country, the ocean-tide of patriotism Hows deep and strong, und on the third day of November next, the people will proclaim what they want and will have, is an honest dollar, protection and prosperity and William McKInley for president of the United States. Major Everett Warren wss the next speaker, and lie was forced to wait a few minutes before beginning to allow the applause to die away. In part he spoke us follows: "What a splendid trlbue this Is by the people of the city of i'.cranton to the candidates of the Republican party In the cltv. state and nation. We are to be congratulated on the distinctness of the issues by which in this campaign the two great political parties are di vided. The Republican party met ut St. Louis and declared for protection, for sound money and for justice to the union soldier. It said the way to -recover our lost prosperity Is to return to the wise economical policy by which, tinder Republican rule, our national prosperity hud been achieved. THE POPI'LIST-DEMOCRATS. "It nominated a candidate who epi tomizes In bis career the highest hopes and aspirations of the Amerlcun people. The Populist-Democratic aggre gation met at Chicago und declared for tariff reform, a nick name for five trade, for the free colnnge of silver at the arbltniry ratio of 1G to 1. They, too, nominated u candidate, a sliver plated candidate, upon whom either then or since, bus been carved every danger ous inscription known to complex so ciety. The two issues then are pro tection and sound money. "As to the Hist, our experience of four years ought to make our duty clear. What do the candidates Kay? Mr. Hryun says: 'The duty on coal Is Indesponsllile. I believe In free Iron ore. it is easy to Justjfy a bounty as a pro tective tariff, und it Is Impossible to Jus tify either. "Listen to our candidate: 'It Is bet ter to open the mills of the United States to the labor of the American people, than to open the mints of this country to the sliver of the world. "Ah to the other Issue the present Democratic secretary of the treasury advanced a year airo live propositions and they have never been answered. He said: "(1) There Is no silver standard country thut is not on a silver basis. (2) There is no silver standard country that uses gold. CD There Is no pold standard country but that uses silver alotiK with gold. (4) There Is no silver standard country where one-third us much per capita Is in circulation us in the United States. (5) There Is no sil ver standard country where the la boring man gets fair pay for a fair day's work." Mujor Warren concluded his speech by referring to the various candidates locally und he announced that there will be a grand mass meeting at the Frotii liighain theatre on Thursday evening, October 15. at which the issues will be ably explained by such speakers as Charles Emory Smith, editor of the Philadelphia Press, and ex-minister to Russiu; James H. Hoyt, of Cleveland; and D. D. Woodmancee, of the State League of Republican clubs. MR. CONNELL SPOKE. This ended the open-air speech mak ing. As many as could get in flocked to the club rooms and listened to Mr. Connell. He spoke briefly but to the point. He has respect for the old Democratic party, he said, but the Republican party has led us into times of prosperity through the last thirty years and we will stick to it. He is in favor of the use of gold and sliver as money, but the silver must be worth as much as the gold and every dollar must be worth a dollar. There Is little left of the Democratic party now. The party that assembled ut Chicago nnd Is represented by such men as Tillman Is not the Democratic party. What do you think, he said, of a man who In a speech In Schuylkill county advised his hearers, If their em ployers should ask them to vote the Republican ticket, to tell them to go to hell; and If they Insisted to send them to hell? Hut to the credit of the peo ple of Schuylkill, they drove him out. Tillman may have thought he was speaking to an untutored and Ignorant nudience of negroes In South Carolina, but he was mistaken In thinking- he could use such language In Schuylkill. Mr. Connell said he has the utmost conlideiice in the intelligence of the American people and is willing to let them decide the question. They will decide it right, ho said. When he fin ished he stood near the entrance and shook hands with his hearers as they passed out. He could not foil to have been well pleased with the kindly as surances he received from everybody. MASS MEETING OCTOBER 15. Prominent Speakers Will Address Voters in the I'rothinghnm. Arrangements are being made by the Central Republican club for a big mass meeting to be held In the Frothingham theater on October 15. The prepara tions for the meeting are in charge of a committee of which Major Everett Warren Is chairman, who has secured the following speakers: Charles Emory Smith, ex-minister to Russia and edi tor of the Philadelphia Press; Hon. James H. Hoyt, of Cleveland, O., and Hon. D. I). Woodmansee, president of the National Republican League of clubs. These three gentlemen are able, in teresting and eloquent nnd it will be a treat to hear them discuss the Issues on which this campaign Is being fought. The meeting will be one for the people and there will be no reserved seats, al though some arrangements will be made for seating gentlemen who nt teiul the meeting accompanied by la dles. A committee of members of the Central club will act as ushers. While this meeting Is arranged for by the Central Republican club the members of the other Republican clubs of this vicinity are asked to Join them In the meeting.
