Commissioners in tho Dnnmnrc Con
test Arc Not to Dclrty.
On petition of 13. E. Swartz, through
Warren & Knapp, Judge Archbald yes
terday made an order directing the
commissioners In the Dunmore contest
to pass upon the testimony adduced
at the hearing as each day's proceed
ings are transcribed by the stenograph
er and not wait as they contemplated
until the testimony Is all transcribed.
The motion was opposed by Mr.
Duggan, who contended It was usual
for the commissioners not to proceed
until after the attorneys had had time
to make up their requests and they
could not do this until after the testi
mony wps all transcribed. ,
Court fixed sixty days as the limit
of time In which the commissioners
must file tholr report.
Ami All Vcro llnppv.
The enterprising shoe firm, Lewis,
Itellly and navies, cf Wyoming ave
nue, assert themselves again. They
distributed among a host of youngsters
who had congregated In the street In
front of their iilace of business 5,000
packages of fire crackers.
Many hearts were made glad by this
thoughtful act on their part and all
wcie supplied with the seemingly nec
essary article with which to celebrate
the glorious Fourth of July. It Is need
less to ndd that csich and every boy
will Insist upon having his nc3U pair
of shoes bear the mark of tho not-to-be-forgotten
firm of Lewis, Rellly &
Davles. '

O'MALLEY M'COURT NUPTIALS.
Ccroinouv Performed by Itcv. J. A.
O'Reilly in St. Peter's Cnthctlrnl.
In St. Peter's Cathedral, at 7 o'clock
yesterday morning, Miss Elizabeth T.
McCourt, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas McCourt, of Monroe avenue,
was married to Hon. Charles P. O'Mal
ley, who formerly represented the
Fourth district of this county In the
state legislature. The nuptial knot was
tied by the rector of the cathedral, Rev,
J, A. O'Reilly, who afterwards cele
brated a mass. The bride wore a gown
of white organdie made up over silk,
and was attended by Miss Nellie Kelly.
John Loftus was groomsman. Miss
Mury Canavan played Mendelssohn's
wedding march ns the party entered
the church, "O Promise Me" at the of
fertory of the mass and the march from
Lohengrin ns a recessional.
A wedding breakfast was served at
the home of the bride's parents after
the ceiemony to a few of the Immedi
ate friends and relatives, Mr. and
Mrs O'Malley will spend their honey
moon nt Niagara Falls and Ithaca, N.
Y., and upon their return, about the
middle of August, will take up their
resldenco at 903 Qulncy avenue.
Mrs. O'Malley Is a charming young
woman who has a broad circle of warm
friends, Mr. O'Malley has been a mem
ber of the Lackawanna bar since Sept.
20, 1S04, and Is rapidly forging to the
front as one of the leading members of
the younger bar. Those who have
watched his career since he began the
practice of law predict a brilliant
future for him. When Judge E. N.
Wlllard was chosen a member of the
Superior court he retired from tho law
firm of Wlllard, Warren & Knapp and
Mr. O'Malley became a member of It.
WILL HAVE PERMANENT BEATS.
Patrolmen Assigned Itogulnrly to the
Contra! City Suction.
A new order respecting the police
patrol of the central city went Into
effect this week. It Is that certain offi
cers will permanently patrol certain
beats.
Chief Robllng believes that under the,
new condition better protection can
be given to the law-abiding element In
the central city and another ueneflt la
that tho patrolmen by constant ac
quaintance with certain sections can
more readily detect any unwelcome new
arrival who may bo wanted.
Tho beats and tiro officers assigned
are: Franklin avenue nnd lower Lack
awanna avenue Goerlltz, Feeney and"1
Day. Penn avenue-Johler, McMillan
and Parry. Washington avenue
Block. Bloat n4 Ktriu?. One of th
officers will do night duty; another
from G a, m. to 12 m., the third from 12
m. to 7 p. m. Eacjt will thus have put
one week's night duty out of thrco
weeks' service. This arrangement Is
not looked upon with hearty npprovfll
by the patrolmen who are not In It.
They say that the creamy spots In
their duty la thus denied them. Trw
order, however, went Into effect Mon
day. '
WARMEST DAYS OF THE YEAR,
What tho Thermometer Hnd to Sny
for Itself Yesterday.
Yesterday and Monday have tho dis
tinction of being tho warmest days
this year up to date. Tho weather
was oppressively hot both days, but
yesterday probably caused more real
suffering than its predecessor because
yesterday the sons of toll had to ex
ert themselves to earn their dally
bread, whllo on Monday tho greater
part of them could devote themselves
to the task of keeping cool.
Around noon time yesterday the ther
mometers In tho central part of the
city marked from 93 to 97 In the
shade, while those In the sun secured a
marking as high ns 110.
During the afternoon a small shower
brought some relief, but not enough to
bring satisfaction or comfort.
HEALTH BOARD OFFICERS
They Will Be Chosen at a Special Meet.
ing Held Tonight Candidates
(or the Positions.

M. J. Kelly has been president of the
board for two years and has made such
an excellent presiding officer that his

no ambition to nil the office for anoth
er year.
A new man will be cho&en to succeed
Walter Brlggs as secretary, Mr. Brlggs

MYSTERIOUS FIRE
ATELJZ PATCH
House Own! by Airs. Morau Entirely
Destroyed Early in the Morning.
OCCUPANTS WERE NOT POPULAR
Airs. Moran nnd Jtlnggio Montgomery
mid Tholr Companions Had Long
Been a Disgrace nnd n Scandal to
tho Pcoplo of tho Neighborhood.
They Lost All of Their Ullectti, nnd
Mrs. Montgomery Suys $100 of Her
Money Was lluincd Up.
Her namo Is Maggie Montgomery;
she Is known ns "Mulberry Mag," and
the soubriquet defaces the police rec
ords on hundreds of pages.
She lived with equally famous Mrs.
Moran In a black frame building on
Oak street near Feltz patch, Taylor,
and since they began their residence
In tho house the neighborhood has
been continually annoyed by the dis
orderly antics of tho two women.
One year ago last month "Mulberry
Mag" was particularly boisterous with
the result that she was arrested as a
common scold on a warrant sworn to
by Nappe Thornton, one of the neigh
bors, who was disturbed. The cose
went to court, and at the last term was
continued until Sepetember.
The house where the two women
lived on Oak sticet, Taylor, was set
afire by some one at 1.30 o'clock yes
terday morning and today only Its
blackened ruins remain. Mrs. Moran
nnd "Mulberry Mag" are forced to
leave the place!
Tho real story Is between paragraphs.
The people on Oak street were driven
to any extreme by the unclean carous
als of the two wornn and it is an open
secret that after "Mulberry Mag's"
outburst a ear ago which led to her
arrest a tar-and-featherlng was ser
iously discussed. They wanted to rid
the neighborhood of the women. One
man at that time said "The law is no
good; it seldom punishes," and that
was the general sentiment,
THEY WERE 'PLEASED.
When nt 1.30 o'clock yesterday morn
ing when the whole neighborhood
rushed to the scene of the Are
such remarks ns: "I'ts a good
Job;" "Good riddance;" "that's bet
ter than the courts;" "Nature
is kind;" "Let It burn," were
heard. No ono sent in an alarm for
the fire for twenty minutes after It
had started and there was no hope of
saving tho building. The alarm box
was not 200 yards away yet no one
cared to he the one to turn the key.
Tho building was a small ramshac
kled two-story affair on the southerly
side of Oak street, the extreme north
ern street In Taylor borough.
On ono side Mrs. Moran lived and up
to a few months ago "Mulberry Mag"
and her dissipated husband lived on
the other side. Mrs. Moran owned the
building. She Is a widow and made her
house a refuge for all kinds of degen
erate men.
The neighbors are all respectable peo
ple, most of them owning their own
homes, and they had the two women
arrested time and time again, but with
out any good results.
A year ago an escapade of "Mulberry
Mag" clinched the determination to get
rid of her. The woman had her chil
dren taken from her by Mis. Duggan,
agent for the Board of Associated
Charities. One of the children a little
girl,- Lenora by name a few months
afterward died at the House of the
Good Shepherd, where the child was
taken. ,
SHE CURSED EVERYBODY.
This seemed to craze Mrs. Montgom
ery and one day while Intoxicated she
went out In the street and grovelled
about In the dust, calling down the
curses of the Almighty upon every one.
Three constables tried to arrest "Mag,"
but she escaped.
Nappe Thornton, whose house Is next
to the Moran "nest," on the westerly
side of Oak street, the next day swore
out a warrant for "Mag's" arrest. The
case was passed by tho grand jury and
went to court with the result stated
above.
For the past week a company that In
cluded the two women and also "Cy
clone Kate," with a dozen men, made
things disagreeable on Oak street. Yes
terday morning the residents of the
street for two blocks were awakened
by the cries of Mrs. Moran. She had
been awakened by the smoke and when
she got outside tho building was half
burned. So she screamed. She was
barefooted and only scantily clothed.
Then tho neighbors began to arrive
and they stood around watching the
flames eat up the dstested shanty. The
Are seemed to have been started In the
vacant part of tho house where "Mul
berry Mag" formerly lived. After a
time, when there was no hope of sav
ing the house, an alarm was sent in.
The Tavlor fire company responded
and two streams were used in saving
the adjoining property of Thomas
Moran.
WHAT MRS. MORAN SAID.
A Tribune reporter saw Mrs. Moran
last evening at the place where her
house stood. She was down where the
cellar once was, with her arms sunk In
a pool of dirty water, trying to turn off
the force of water which was running
from a pipe. A Hungarian was help
ing her.
"Yes," she said, "I lost everything.
I got an old bureau out, but tho crowd
broke that."
"How do you think tho fire started?"
"I don't know, I head that some
people saw two men leaving the other
side of the house Just before the blaze
burst out. They won't tell me who
the men were, though. I think they
ain't charitable."
Some ono had circulated tho rumor
that the house was insured and that
Mrs. Moran herself had set It afire.
Mrs. Moran stated positively to a Tri
bune reporter that the house was not
insured for one cent. "I was In bed at
the time and was most smothere' by
tho smoke," said Mrs. Morani. She vlll
move from the patch.
Yesterday "Mag" went to Mrs. Dug
gan and told her of tho fire. Sho said
that sho lost J100 In the fire. This Is
doubted, She was presented with a
hat by Miss Kelsel, nurse- for the
charity board. Sho was scantily at
tired and explained that all of her
clothes had been burned In the fire.
