BEST METHOD OF
BUILDING A FIRE
Miss Parioa Told All About II In Y. M.
C, A. 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.

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.

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

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.
