WEST SIDE EVENTS.
Lots Occasioned by the Fire at Lacka
wanna Avenue and Seventh Street.
Difficulty in Extln(u!sblni It
Heaps of tea and coffee He on the
sidewalk In front of the gutted Hess
building on Lackawanna avenue, which
Buffered from Are yesterday morning;
a complete story of which appeared in
yesterday's Tribune. The building, a
two-story brick veneer, is ruined. E.
AV. and William Hess, the owners,
valued the property at Jti.OOO. They
carry Insurance in the I. J. Kvans
agency for J3.D00. J. T. Williams and
l. 11. Thomas, who under the firm
name of J. T. Williams and company,
used the first floor of the building as a
stocking place for teas, coffees, spices,
canned goods, etc., hud Insurance to
the amount of M.50O in the Kvans
agency. They claim that the stock de
stroyed was worth about $7,000.
1 Mrs. May E. Hull, who kept a board
Ing house on the second Hour, and Mr.
and Mrs. P. S. Uissel, also tenants, lost
all their household effects. Neither had
Insurance. The origin of the Are is still
unexidulued, though the supposition
expressed in The Tribune's account Is
deemed the most plausible. Mr. Wil
liams, of the firm, thought that the fire
started on the second lioor. The ten
ants contrudlcted this. They say that
' the flooring was heated from the fire
raging beneath when they walked upon
it In making their escape.
' Mr. Williams stated to a Tribune re
porter that there was a tire In the stove
during Saturday, but thut it was not
replenished and was allowed to die out
when the store was closed Saturday af
ternoon. There was no lighted gas Jet
In the lower apartment: neither is there
any electric wiring. The fire started in
the rear of the storeroom, which Is par
tially divided by a partition, an arch
connecting the two rooms. The stove
ts in the front part. This makes the
origin more of a mystery.
The flrsmen under Chief Hickev made
a determined effort to subdue the
flames, yet It was B.30 o'clock before
taps were sent In. During the last few
hours of the fire the work of the fire
men was directed toward smothering
the smouldering tire in the bales of teu
and coffee. To do this It was necessary
to remove the material to the side
walk, where It still Is. Much dunger
was involved In fighting the tlames. At
any moment the threateningly weak
brick wall was likely to tumble, bury
ing the fire-fighters beneath the mass.
All day yesterday a largo, crowd gath
ered around the structure. A large
quantity of cigars were ruined by the
.water,

STORY OP ARKANSAS LIFE.
Enacted by a Capable Company at
the Frothinehnm Last Night.
"Human Hearts" was produced at
the Frothlngham theatre last night by
a company of artists whose work could
scarcely be excelled, and, coupled with
the splendid staging and beautiful
scenery, it made one of the best per
formances of the season. The title of
the play is very expressive and if "In
human Hearts" were added it would
suggest the entire story.
Contrasted with a dozen or more
characters of a refined nature, sympa
thetic disposition and homely manners
that are alternately pathetic and hu
morous are two as vllllanous and dia
bolical hearts as could be Imagined. It
Is a tale of the Arkansas Hills. Tom
Logan, a farmer and blacksmith nf that
country, is wedded to a beautiful New
York woman, who has had a past not
withstanding her youth. She soon tires
of the simple home life characteristic of
the natives of Arkansas. With a for
mer paramour she attempts to kill her
husband and escape, but, by accident,
Tom's father is murdered and Tom,
who first chances upon the death scene,
is accused of the crime, convicted of
murder in the second degree and sen
tenced to a life imprisonment.
Tom's brother Jim, who Is a simple
ton, his mother and Ruth Lnrklns an
admirer of Tom in his boyhood days,
and who continues faithful unto the
last, figure in all the efforts to work
a pardon for Tom and after four years
of Incessant entreaties to the governor
of the state they are successful. The
mother becomes blind in the meantimj
and with her single son, Jim. they are
by nature fitted as a pair of pathetic
pleaders.
Moses Jones, a darkey, Llmpey Mor
gan, a newsboy., and bootblack, and
Frederic Armsdale, a tramp, furnish the
specialties and do so without overdoing
their respective parts. The audience In
numbers was hardly worthy of the
splendid show, but the stormy weather
probably accounted for this.
BOTH MILLS RESUME.
North and South Worts Fire L'p Yes
terday After a Long Idleness.
Both the north and south mills of the
Lackawanna Iron and Steel company
started up yesterday morning, after a
long Idleness. Announcement was
made that the south mill was to re
sume yesterday, but it was not general
ly known that the north mill would also
start up. The Joy of the mill men and.
In fact, the whole city, Is accordingly
doubled. The south mill had been idle
since August and the upper one nearly
two months longer.
No Information could be gained as to
how long the mills would be kept run
ning, the officials declining to make any
statement.
