(Jang of Lonlcrs I'usteringthe 1'coplu of No. 0 mid Thereabouts. Much annoyance and not a little pe cuniary loss is caused residents of the district around No. 0 by a gang of loafers who have established head quarters there nnd who prowl about at night looting cellars and hen coops and In the day time, after the male members of the family urp at work, terrifying the women folks by de manding victuals and sometimes cash. It Is also charged against them that they gather young boys about them and Induce them to steal food and clothing for them. They have erected a rude shanty in an Isolated spot near the No. 7 dnm on the Roaring Brook and sometimes as many ns ten of theso banditti are con gregated there. Their leader Is named Koons, and, It Is said, bears a strong resemblance to the footpad who as saulted D. Webster Seism near the Kim Park church one week ago last night. They are for the most part, It Is said, local vagrants. SABBATH NEWS NOTES. Rev. M. J.

A flri almost totally ruined tlio power plant of the Scranton lllumlnat iiiK, limit and Power cumiinny between 1.1 fi and n o'clock yesterday morning. The (;ruat loss might liiiVu linen pre vented but for the location of the build ing on the hanks of the Lackawanna liver, almost henenth the Linden street bridge, where It was practically Inaccessible to the ilieiwn and from where It was at leiiHt a five-minute journey to the nearest lire alarm box at the Weston mill on Lackawnnnn n venue. , The blaze made a great pyrotechnic display that was viewed by ina,ny hundred persons from sightly points on the Linden street and Lackuwanna avenue bridges and on Mlfllln avenue and Sixth street, which traverse the high ground on either side of the river. For n half hour Immediately following the alarm the llnmes in their fury leaped high in the air and were mingled with a dense volume of smoke and myriads of .sparks, seeming to imply the dire and extensive destruction thnt would have been suffered by other structures if the burning building had been anywhere but in such an Isolated locality. The destruction of the plant, was sure and quick. The burning was of such ferocity that the glow of the (lames lighted the heavens with a bril liancy that led persons at a gieat dis tance to believe that a more serious conflagration was in progress, DISCOVERY OF THE FIRE. Engineer Lawrence Lynch discov ered the fire at 1.05 o'clock near the eaves where the electric supply lines entered the building in the dynamo and engine room. Ho summoned Fire man Charles Cooper, who had charge of the boiler room, and the two other men, assistants, who are on duty at night. A line of 2-inch hose was at tached to a water plug at the lear of the building und directed upon the llnmes, but the force of water was hardly sufllclent to reached the Humes, which hud secured too much headway to be subdued so easily. The water made little or no l;iipression nnd It became apparent to the little force of mPii that the building was doomed, unless, by a rare chance the lire de partment Could In an unreasonable short space of time come to their aid. One of the assistants was dispatched to the Weston mill to send in an alarm from box 12. Cooper, with rare pres ence of mind, proceeded to turn off the water and release the steam from the ten boilers In the part of the plant immediately adjoining thnt in which the Humes weie raging, by which no tion was prevented the serious conse quences that would have followed an explosion or a series of them. lly this time the blaze had extended nil aions: the roof of the dynamo nnd engine room and diiven the men from Hint purl, of the building. As yet the llnmes had not reached the boiler room, separated by a 4-lnch brick wnll. Those two depaitinents occupied the whole of the building which was one nnd a half stories in height. It was, however, less than llfteen minutes before the entire Plant was n sea of Haines, SECOND ALARM: TURNED IN. The alarm from box 12 summoned the cfiii nil city companies who were de layed, pfccount of the great distance and lifSeeeslblllty, In their efforts to extend their hose to the burning struc ture. A second ulurm was Immediately turned In by Chief Hlekey. The addi tional force Anally had two lengths of hose stretched from Lackawanna ave nue and tho corner of Jlllllln avenue and Spruce street. To one lino a "twin" connection was formed, mak ing three streams which played upon the then fiercely burning fire. Any attempt to quench the llnmes was realized as hopeless by Chief Hle key and ho directed the entire force toward protecting the hollers. The lire I11 the dynamo room had by this time wrapped that part of the structure In a mantle of heat and Hnine and done Ir reparable damage. The three streams of water were directed on and about the boilers and, as It was found later, preserved them from ruin. Iiy 2.30 o'clock the lire had consumed almost everything combustible within reach. It was two hours later, how ever, before the last vestige of ilanie had been extinguished. The building was valued at $12,000 and ltd contents nt $70,000. of which the boilers and connections that may be used ngaln are valued at $15,000, making a gross loss of $07,000.

The plant contained eight engines, all of which were totally ruined excepting two, which possibly may be repaired; ten L'dlson Incandescent dynamos, one al ternating dynamo nnd live are ilynu liios, all of which aro a total loss. The company furnished no city lights but supplied power for about 250 nrc lights, 200 motors and 8,000 lncandes cents. Willi commendable pluck and energy the olllcers of the company at daylight yesterday morning began an effort which will Insure n partial resumption of service tonight niUl which, It Is claimed, will bring about a complete resumption Wednesday mid possibly Tuesday night. The long-distance telephone was pressed Into service and there were ordered for temporary use eight dynamos which were shipped yesterday and will be installed dining the latter part of today and tonight. Last night the company's arc light service was supplied by surplus power from the Hotel Jermyn, Mears build ing, Dickson Manufacturing company, the Scranton Electric and Heat com pany and the Suburban Electric Light company. The olllcers of the Scranton Illumi nating Heat and Power company are: H. II. Throop, president; C. W. Wlsner. vice-president; Franklin Howell, treas urer; Fred C. Hand, secretary; and J. E. Parrish, superintendent, All of yesterday the scone ot the fire was visited by hundreds of persons. WORK WAS HAMPERED. Excellent work was done by tho lire men considering the difficulties under which they labored. Tho plant that was destroyed furnished the light In the central city engine houses, and in consequence when the alarm sounded the automatic apparatus for lighting the 'engine houses was of no service. The firemen had to dress in the dark and get out the apparatus from tho gloom enshrouded houses. When they arrived nt the scone of the Hie they found the fire hydrant In Center street In the rear of the Weston mill useless and water had to be carried from Lackawanna avenue. This caused de luy and trouble In getting streams on the lire. To add to their troubles the morning was very cold and the water turned to Ice on everything It touched, Includ ing the clothing of the lire fighters. MORRIS J. DAVIDOW RETIRES. Messrs. J. W.

WILL FIGHT SEWERS TO THE BITTER END Tliorc Is Serious Objection to the S2cn tccutli District Ordinance. SOUTH SIDERS FULL OF FIGHT Held n Meeting liiist Xlght mid Will (Slither Again Wednesday N'lalit to I'olltlon Mayor Hnlley Xot to Sign the Ordiuiinee--Ils l'lissago. They Claim, Will Work a Serious Ilnnl- ship--Thc.y Have Their Keiisons. A movement Is afoot among Twelfth nnd Nineteenth ward property owners to Intlucnco Mnyor Ualley against signing the Seventeenth sewer district ordinance which pnssed third and llnal reading in common council Thursday night. The oidluance now lacks only the mayor's signature to become op erative. He yet has llfteen days In which to sign the document, but In the Interim considerable pressure will be brought to bear to lnlluence hhn towaid negative action. Last night In St. John's hull on Stone avenue was held a citizens' protest meeting preceding a more lurgely at tended nnd active gathering to take place Wednesday night. The meeting of last night was not largely attended owing to tho fact that It was announced In but one Sundliy paper, but the spirit of opposition to the sewer was none the less plain and indicnted that the residents of the high ground portion of the Twelfth and Nineteenth wards do not view the proposed improvement with approval. The meeting was sug gested by an informal gathering of citizens Saturday evening at the home of Thomas II. Kelly on Prospect ave nue. Mr. Kelly called last night's meeting to order and suggested an organization. Select Councilman lEdwin Frable, of the Nineteenth ward, was elected chairman. There were present School Controller Herman .Notz, Owen Walsh, E. J. Cole man, I'. J. Messitt, David Clarke, Daniel Sullivan, John Carroll, Patrick Kenne dy, John Barrett, John Gavin, Michael McCabe, Daniel Langhan and several other residents of the district. THE ORDINANCE READ. Mr. Frable read tho sewer ordinance and stated his opinion that the only recourse against its operation was to petition Mayor Bailey not to sign it. Ilr, Notz and others coincided with this view. To a suggestion that the ordin ance might be combatted In the courts on the same grounds ns had been an other Seventeenth district measure, It was remarked that In tho present case there was not the same technical Haw. Mr. Notz renewed his petition plan and Chalrniun Frable suggested the ap pointment of a committee to a.rrange tor a future meeting, which, It was then decided, should take place Wednesday evening. Following the chairman's suggestion Mr, Kelly made a motion thnt a com mittee be appointed to arrange for the printing in German and English of posters announcing the meeting. The motion nrevulled and the chair ap pointed Thomas H. Kelly, P. J. Messitt .and John Carl. After having been about a half hour In session the meet ing adjourned. In response to a Tribune reporter's Inquiries It was stated by many of those who attended the meeting that a sewer system was not wanted by the residents of the high ground con tained within the great area involved In the proposed system. It was aveired and not denied that not more than one person in a hundred favored seweis. There wns no denial that a sewer system would benefit the properties along Prospect and Pitts ton avenues and the low ground, and no objection on thalt score was offered by the residents of other districts, They do, however, object to paying for something which does not Immediate ly benefit them. NOT TO BLAME FOR NATURE. The reporter's suggestion that the high Innd residents should be willing to share tho expense of carrying off their own sewage, was met with this response: They were not to blame for the slope of the ground, nnd if t he people of the blocks below weio In convenienced by the sewage they should bo willing to pay for sewers and not expect tho upper localities to share an expense for something that would do them no benefit. It wns fur ther argued that the citizens of the upper Nineteenth and Twelfth wards were not able to meet the sewer ns- sessments which would average at least $1 per front foot and more than that In most cuses. They say most of the homes In that legion were built by building nnd lonu associations and are not paid for; times have been hard, most of the modest property owners nio In debt and behind In tho pay ments on their houses and a great hardship would follow the provisions of the ordinance.

MISSIONARY FROM INDIA. llov, Dr. Xotliolt Delivers Threo Very liiterestiui: Sermons. Three sermons were delivered In this city yesterday by tho Rev. Dr. Nott- rotl, who for thirty years past has been an active Lutheran missionary among the Kohls of Tndln, a trlbo situated about H00 miles northwest of Calcutta. Dr, Nottrott Is ostensibly itmin his va cation, though, probably working as hard as though ho were laboring among tho heathen In far away India. Ho Is endeavoring during his vacation to raise sutllclont funds to erect a mission station In .India, at the point where he Is nt present directing his attention. Dr. Nottrott Is one of the twenty one missionaries sent out by the Gots ner Missionary Society of Ueiilii. lie has prepared a grammar of the Kohl dialect and bus translated the entire New Testament into the native lan guage. This translation Is now being published by the ltlltlsli nnd Foreign Illble society. At present he Is devot ing much attention to a translation of the Old Testament. ' In the morning, yesterday, Dr. Nott rott preached In St. Peter's Lutheran church, Rev. Randolph, pastor, on Prescott avenue. Jn the afternoon at 3, ,10 o'clock he spoke In Christ Lutheran church on Cedar avenue, Rev. Mr. Lisse, pastor, and at the regular evening ser vice of the Holy Trinity, 011 Adams avenue, Rev. Kduln Lunn Miller, pas tor, he again delivered a sermon. Ills evening sermon, was taken from Luke v:l-lE. Dr. Nott'rott's views of Luther an missionary work In India were very hopeful. "There 1110," bo said ' 2S7.000, 000 people In India, and that the Held is a vast und valuable opportunity for mission work can not be gainsaid." ENGINE 190 EXPLODED. HIow Oiritur Dome Cup in the 11 011 ml House Saturday. Engine No. 100 blew off her dome cap in the Delaware, Lnckawanna and Western round house Saturday morn ing at 11 o'clock leaving a big hole In tho roof and scattering slates and splintered timber in all directions but luckily Injuring no one. The cap itself as arrested by the iron trusses which gird the roof and fell back to the Hoor of the round house narrowly missing Martin Payne, one uf the "hostlers," who had stopped from the engine just a moment before the explosion took place. The engine had been In tho round house for three days having her Hues cleaned. The operation had been com pleted and the work of firing up was under way. It is supposed there was a Haw In the Iron and It gave away under the double strain of expanding under Hie firing up process after having con tracted when the engine was allowed to grow "cold" for repairs. There was only ninety pounds of steam registered nt the time of the explosion. The engine Jiad been carry ing 130 pounds almost daily during the eight years she has been in service.
