Hall Yesterday. EXPLAINED IMPORTANCE OF FUEL Advised That It lie Uoiif'lit in Hulk Whenever I'osslblo nnd Thnt Or ders Tor It Ho Placed In tho Sum-tucr-Wny to Protect u House from Coal l)uit--Sho Had Something to Sny About Ventilation. MIps Mana Parloa's icturo yester day afternoon at the Younn Men's Christian atsoclatlon auditorium wan devoted In the main to a discussion of "Furl." Miss Parlon pointedly remark ed that to treat this subject beforo a Scranton audience v.is like carrying coals to Newcastle. Yet, In her lecture pIic tiratetl the ladle3 to a wealth of infoi million on the subject, most of which was practically unknown or not thought of befoie. Before beginning the lecture proper which is the fifth of the series Miss Parioa reviewed the preceding lecture on "Ploois," which was delivered Tues day afternoon. This was a happy de parting ns it brought out n number of question!! by the Indies present, the rrult of their ivrsonal experience In following Mis Pnnca's instructions. The benefits of the lectures was for cibly shown In the recitation of thos experiences. Miss Parioa then spoke of "Fuel." She began with tho happy allusion re ferred to nnd first showed the Import ance of fuel. It Bhould be bought in bulk whetiever possible. The best time to lay in the yearly supply is In the lato summer or eaily autumn but ar rangements ns to price and when to be delivered should be made in the rummer when, us a rule, prices are lower than later In tho session. Miss Parioa gave valuable instructions as to the way to protect the house, etc., from the dust. Ir fact these hints were decidedly Interesting nnd es pecially to persons Jlvinrr In the coal regions. HOW TO BUILD A FIRE. Hh3 told of the several kinds of furl and explained the difference some thing which Is certainly not generally known. Then, after discussing the slaty material mixed with coal and how it can be detected, Miss Parioa spoko of the treatment of Arcs; how to clean the stove, how to build a fire, how long to keep the smoke damper open, the front drafts, the check, all of which and many more as interesting Miss Parioa discussed. In speaking of furrace fires the lec turer llrst showed that all furnaces nre constructed on the came principle. The Hues and pipes and their cleaning wus explained nnd afterward Miss Pailoa led her audltois through one day's model attention to a ilre, start ing (ho first thin layer of ccal In eaily morning, Fhowing how to shake a fire In the tight way, and going through the entire day's doings. The following exeetpt from Miss Par loa's lecture shows how thoroughly she treats the point under discussion. Ev ery little detail, seemingly unimport ant, yet in the whole decidedly so, Is mentioned in Its right place: ABOUT COAL DUST. "If ono llws In tho city and the coal Is carried to tho bins through a coal hole In the sidewalk, the care Is some what less than when one must see that the side of tho house, the lawn nnd liower beds nre properly protected, but in any case there Is the Inevitable dust and work In the cellar, and once a year is often enough for this extra work, and care to fall upon the house hold. When the coal is to be put In the bins through an opening in the side of the house, 'this part of the building should be protected by having thick folds of carpet or burlap- tacked on; such places are liable to be rubbed by the men In passing the coal to the chute. . "Should It be necessary to pass over the lawn, protect it by laying boards on which the men can walk. The cel lar windows must bo opened. All doors opening Into the coal room should be closed. Tho icglsters In the rooms should bo closed and covered with ca per. "Coal and wood bins must bo per fectly clean. All the boards used in closing up bins be ready for the work men. After the wood and coal are in tho cellar take the cat pets from tho wall and fold and put In place. Take up tho boards and put them with tho carpet ready for the next time. Sweep tho cellar with a damp broom; buish the coal-dust from walls and articles In tho room, and sweep the floor a second time. See that the sidewalk Is swept clean and that there are no chips and bits of coal on lawns. See that th openings used by tho work men are all properly fastened. Look after windows and doors In the cel lar. It sometimes happens that a sneak thief thinks this is n good chance to get Into tho house. SPOKE ABOUT VENTILATION. The second part of the lecture was on "Ventilation" and afterward on "Light ing" and in turn discussing the several kinds of illumination. . There will be no lecture today but tomortow afternoon MIbs Parioa. will talk on the subject of "Food." This will be. of Interest to every woman and the attendance should be larger than at any preceding lecture. .TRACKS UNDER WATER. Culvert Nenr .Mooslc Flooded Again Yesterday. Water again filled up tho sag In the culvert beneath tho Delaware and Hud son tracks below Moosic yesterday and Hooded the Scranton Hallway com pany's tracks to the depth of five feet, blocking the road for over five hours. Pumps were put to work as soon ns the rain had ceased and by 7 o'clock last evening cars were making through trips. During the hours of the block ade passengers were transferred and comparatively little Inconvenience was c-xptrlcnced. OFF FOR PHILADELPHIA. Arriuisoinonts for tho Thirteenth Itegimt-iit's Trip Completed. Tho Thirteenth regiment, National Guard of Pennsylvania, will leave at 3.45 this afternoon for Philadelphia where tho leglmcnt will participate In the parade In connection with tho un veiling of the Washington monument. Colonel Henry A. Coursen, who has returned from Philadelphia, will com mand the troops. The second battal ion, companies A, 11, C and D will as semble nt tho armory at 2.30 o'clock and will march to the Delaware, Lack- nwnnna nnd Western station, Major F. W. Stlllwcll In command. Tho first battalion, compnnlrs E, F, O nnd It will report to Mnjor Whitney nt tho station at 3.30 o'clock. The regi ment while in Philadelphia will be quartered In the First regiment ar mory, corner of JJroad and Callowhill erects. , JtfKLYAf LAST SYMPHONY CONCERT. Orchestra Wns Assisted by ITrnngcon Dnvics, the Ilnritouc. Tho Inst nnd In some respects tho best symphony conrtrt of the season attr .tin largo auilUnc to tho Froth Ingham last evening, which wui re warded by a programme of uncommon interest presented with marked effect iveness. The symphony offered was the famous Beethoven 8th; and in two of its movements the allegretto scher znndo nnd the allegro vivace the or chestra reached a cllmnx In Intelligent Interpretation. Especially did it satis f.ictoilly present the last named move ment, with Its wealth of symphonic variety and grandeur, its other selec tions were orchestral pieces from Grieg's "Sigurd Joisnlfnr" and the charming overture to Von Plotow's "Stradella" the number that quite captivated the audience. Hut with entire respect to the orches tra, whose growth in gru&p, unity nnd breadth under the tutorship of Profes sor Hemberger Is fully entitled to gen erous praise, tho Interest of last even ing's audience centered rather In the soloht.Mr. Kfrangcon Dnvles.the newly developed London baritone of whom great things had already been said and of whom yet greater things are In many circles confidently piedlcted. The fact that Mr. Davles has in fix years risen ns it weie from musical obscur ity to a very commanding place In the world of song lent to his first Scranton appearanrounaspect of novelty height ened by his kinship with a large cle ment In our citizenship. In the arrangement of his numbers Mr. Davles elected to begin with the prologue from Leoncavallo's "Pagllac ci" a choice better suited to win the approval of the critics than to stir a miscellaneous audience. It took but a bar or two, however, to win for him tho utmost attention, and as he grew Into the power and quality of his tu perb baritone voice, and exhibited the line mastery which he has gained over its minutest intonation, curlusity rip ened into ndinltatlon, and that In turn, at the prologue's elTd, bled what may properly be termed an ovation. From this on, Mr. Davles' chief problem was how to get away from tho stage; but It must be said for him that If Scran ton was generous in its welcome, ho wns equally so in his response. To each of his three appointed numbers he added one, and It was only then by the audience's relenting that he was enabled to conclude. The temptation exists to draw com parisons between Mr. Davles singing and that of Mr. BIspham, who so re cently clnrmed tho musle-lovers of this city. Such a work, would ba manifest ly unfair. The two men are not and will never be rivals; each occupies u plane particularly Ills own. To Mr. Davles has been given the richer and more commanding voice, and it is Mr. Bispham's good fortune to excell at this time In dramatic power and In tho in definable but potent quality which, for lack of a better term, we call personal magnetism. It is to bo remembered, though, that sly years ago Ffrangcon Davles was a cleric In orders; let him have tho clunee to develop, that th" Philadelphia has had and It will then bo time to think about uudertaklnc the comparison. DIMMICK CAPfAIN OF COMPANY A. Ho Wns Elected Lnst Night to Suc ceed JInjor Stillwell. James O. Dlmmlck was last evening, by a vote of Company A, Thirteenth regiment, elected to the captaincy In the place of Frederick W. Stillwell, promoted to major. From a private Mr. Dlmmlck was made corporal, February 25, 18S9; sergeant, Decem ber 1, 1890; commissioned second lieu tenant January 22, 1S94, and first lieu tenant November 21, 1895. He will make a worthy successor to Major Stillwell, who, as captain of Company A, endeared himself to the boys. There were two other elections which also were unanimous. Second Lieutenant Semuel S. Derman was moved to the first lieutenancy, and First Sergeant Edwin N. Gee was made second lieu tenant. Tho new captain, Mr. Dlmmlck, is a prime favorite with the members of the company, He has been In the ser vice for elevon years. He was first lieutenant of the company and his election last evening was practically without opposition. Major Stillwell conducted the election. Sergeant E. K. Bobbins was clerk and Corporal W. B. Johnson and Private Walter Gunster tellers. Cnrd of Thanks.

DON'T FORaET Tlin PLACE, 215 Lackawanna Avenue In the White Pront Shoe Storer EARTH OPENED AND SWALLOWES A HORSE Remarkable Occurancc in tlic Northern Part of the City. HUCKSTER'S UNIQUE EXPERIENCE While Driving to His JJnrn on Mo hawk Street, Ucorpo Slcltlcr Sees His Horse Drop from iletween tho Shafts of tho Wngon nnd Disappear in tho ('.ronnd--Mlno Cnvo-ln Oc curred Suddenly Ilcucuth tlio Ani mals I'cct. To havo your horso drop out from between the shafts of the carriage, break through the harness and dis appear Into the earth 1b nn experience vouchsafed, to fow, it Is fjulto eafe to say, yet Just such an experience was enjoyed If enjoyed Is the word by Huckster Gtorgo Hlcklcr, of West Mar ket street, laist evening. About C.30 o'clock he and his neigh bor, John McKenzle, were driving nlong Mohawk street, where his bam Is situated, intending to put up his lion?. Just as ho reined in the horse a few yards off from the barn tho ground beneath the animal's foot sud denly gavo way nnd down It went Into a hole fifteen feet deep. Tho shafts of tho vehicle struck the opposite side of the opening, which was about six feet lti diameter, and prevented the carriage from following. HOUSE WENT DOWN. The horse went down haunches fore most and became wedged In between tho sides of the opening, which nar rowed gradually as It descended, and thero remained for nearly three hours before being rescued with ropes nnd poles and sundry improvised devices. No serious injury resulted to the ani mal, as far as a cursory examination would show, but It Is not likely it will bo able to loosen Its stiff and sore Joints for a week or so. The cave-In was caused by a set tling of the workings in the Dovlne & McGuire mine, the opening of which Is Just off Mohawk street and not far from the scene of the accident. This, of course, takes the prize for mine cave-in stories. Heretofore the premier story had Its scene on the West mountain Just off the Newton road. The workings from the Hyde Park colliery are very near the surface at that point and In many places tho water has washed hole3 through to the old chambers. One rainy day last summer, as re lated In The Tribune at tho time, the ground was washed from out beneath the hind wheels of a wngon on which there was a portable coop filled with chickens, about to be taken to market, THE OPENING GREW. As tho earth gradually washed Into tho mine the opening grow In width and finally the hind wheels of tho wngon dropped In, leaving tho body of the wagon resting on the edge of the opening and anchoring it there. The Incline thus given the platform caused tho coop to slide out and with its load of fowl down It went Into the mine. The force broke the coop open and the chickens, at least such of them as escaped death from the fall, are, as far as any ono knows, still running around in the abandoned workings. Some day somebody may go in there and come out with the wherewith to knock the bottom out of the spring chicken mar ket. CONFERENCE AGREED UPON. Joint Committee Will Moot Xcvt Mon day Night. W. J. Thomas, chairman of the un official conference committee of select council, and James J.. Drier, chairman of the commoner's conference commit tee, came together last night in city hall and asreed upon a Joint meeting for next Monday night at 7 o'clock in the city clerk's oillce. After the regular session of common council last night, the Democratic members held a caucus to areo on a course of action In the conference. Just what Instructions their committee re ceived would not bo divulged. NEW TROLLEY MECHANISA1. Uendy for Trinl on a Scranton Hail way Company Cur. A Scranton Railway company car has been equipped with tho Steel Motor company's system nnd will be given a trial possibly today. Tho equipment Is a radical dtparturo from what are Known as tho standard system now used by electric railways generally.

IN FAVOR OF HORO DR0S. Sotect Councils Committee Does Not Agrco with Common Council. Select council's sewers and drains committee last night decided to rec ommend tho awarding of the Sander son avenue sower contract to O'llaro, Uros. Common council committee made the oam recommondatlon but tho council disregarded the recommendation and voted to give the Job to Peter T. Mulli gan. O'Hara llros.' bid was $1.49 per lin eal foot: f76 for extra sewer basins, and $30 for extra manholes. Mulligan's bid was $1.44 per lineal foot, but con trary to the requirements of the ad vertisement ho made no bids on extra basins and manholes. TEN WITNESSES ILL. Duamorc Democrats Unable to Come Court House Visited by the Con test Commission, to The Dunmore contest commission sat In eleven different places, yesterday tho arbitration room and ten bedrooms In Dunmore. This peregrination was necessitated by the fact that ten of the witnesses to bo examined wero sick abed. As tomorrow is the last day the contestants have for taking testimony and as sick witnesses were not likely to recover In time to come before the commission the only alternative was to take the commission before them. After examining beven witnesses In the morning at the arbitration roam, Commissioner Ueedy, Attorneys O'Mal ley and Donovan and Stenographer McAndrew took a carriage and pro ceeded to make the rounds of the sick rooms. Thomas Carroll, Bryan llren nan, Domlnick Preston, Patrick Lynch, William Kays, James Fltzpatrlck, Pat rick McAndrew, James Dugherty.Pat rick Manley nd William Kynn were tho f-lck witnesses visited. Preston, Fltzpatrlck and Dougherty were dis qualified for non-payment of taxes. William Ryan was eo 111 of typhoid pneumonia that it was decided danger ous to ply him with questions and the validity of his vote in consequence will remain an ouen question. Three out of the seven healthy wit nesses examined in the morning were found to have cast Infirm votes. Pat rick Dougherty and Patrick McDonnell, of the Second district of the Second ward, had not paid taxes within the required time and Patrick O'Doyle, of tha First district cf the Second ward, voted under age. The other four examined were: Pierce Clcary, of the Fir3t district of the Third ward; Patrick Corcoran and Michael Monahan, of the Second dis trict of the Second ward, and Patrick Langan, of the First district of the Third ward. Tomorrow being the contestants' last day for examining witnesses, it Is pos sible that the commission will be called upon to sit all day today and during part of tho night. m ' ACTION AGAINST THE TREASURER.

Moran's order is for $S1.50 and that of Quinn, $S(i.50.
