THREE INTERESTING DESIGNS.
Good Work Show 11 by 11 Promising
You rip l.ocnl Architect.
Tho iiumerous frlenils of Harvey J.
Blackwood, the promising yoim:r ar
chitect, as well fts students t nr hi
trcture Kenerally, will bo Interested In
three designs from hln u?n which are
now on exhibition In this city.
Ore of these, a drawing of a proposed
Symphony hall. Is In the show window
of Prank O'llnra's cigar store on
Spruce street. Tiit front elevation of
the Scranton Savlntjs bank, which
made such a very decided Impression
In the competition for its young archi
tect, Is also on exhibition alongside of
a drawlne of an eighteen story mod
ern sky scraper. In tho show window
of Howard Beldleman's book store, al
most next door to the store In which
the Symphony hull Is on exhibition.
It needs but a glance at Mr. Black
wood's drawing of the bank to see the
excellence of his design. The pedi
ment as may be seen by the drawing,
Is not treated by any carving, the ar
chitect intending this point to be a
matter of tasto with tho board ot di
rectors. The graceful division of win
dows and thslr artistic tre-ittnont. to
gether with the beautiful llonian Cor
inthian deatlls, attract the eye imme
diately. The eighteen story skv scraper,
which is In the same window with tho
bank drawing, Is an excellent example
of the modern building. The lmpies
slon which It gives to the observer is
that of a grand monument of colossal
proportions. The details of the llrst
four btories, or base, are beautiful. The
middle portion has the monotony brok
en very cleverly by balconies on al
ternate stories. The top portion of the
building possesses most graceful lines
with bold treatment of details. Tho
stylo of tho proposed Symphony hall Is
Spanish-Italian. The form of the
building is that of an octagon, but that
of the first floor of the auditorium is
round. Th'e balcony overhangs tho cir
cular partition and on the slues fol
lows the lines of the octagon. Around
the building is a twenty-foot veranda
with heavy glars walk. Underneath
are rooms which will bo used as art
exhibit rooms, also side rooms to the
ball room, which is directly under the
auditorium. The form of the ball
room is circular with a diameter of
seventy feet. Th'o sea'lng capacity of
tho auditorium is 000
There- is a most excellent treatment
as well as original in all of these three
drawings, and this young architect
may1 well feel proud of his recent cre
ations, from the standpoint oi both tho
draughtsman and the deslcner.

STREET CAR TRAFFIC IMPEDED.
On Homo ol tho Lines So Cars Could
Ilo Itun rtt All ntid on tho Other
Inlrrciucnt Trips Were .11 nil a With
tho (rcntct Difficulty - Stcnm
llonits I'rco 1'rom Bother Up to 10
O'clock p. m., Hut 1'cnritil of tho
Night.
The New Year was ushered In with
tho first real snow Btorm of the winter.
Tho "buto" began to fall at day
break ami continuing Incessantly was
still falling nt midnight.
The warmer temperature of the day
made tho snow of n soft and sticky
character and before noon time, every
thing exposed had a cooling of white
several Inches thick.
Traffic on the street car linos wnj
virtually tit a standstill so difficult wan
It to make even Infrequent trips.
Every available man In the eniDloy
of the Scranton Hallway company was
called out to asslct in opening and
keeping open the different lines. With
the aid of shovels and brooms and
three 'big electric sweepers the city
lines were kept In . fair running or
der. At supper tlmo the general ofllce re
ported that cars were running to the
north us far us Olyphant: on tho
Dunmore lines as far as the "'corners;"
to the south the city line was the lim
it ot traffic on both the l'lttston and
Taylor roads, and on tho West Side
Wnsnburn was open to its terminus,
while Luzerne wuh completely blocked.
With the fall of night and the ac
companying fall of temperature the
snow became hard and mealy and a
strong bllzznrdy wind springing up,
trouble In earnest began,
HARD TO KEEP LINES OPEN'.
Redoubled efforts on the pnit of tho
street car men were necessary to make
the most irregular kind of trips. A cat
would get out towards tlie end of the
line and became stalled. Shot-els and
brooms would be found Insufficient to
cope with the constantly forming
drifts and one of the big quadruple
motor sweepers would be sent out for
it. Otis Dunmore crew started out
with three hours yet to put In. They
worked down, fiom Dunmore and th'o
crew that was to relieve them tramped
up to Dunmore to take charge of the
"ur. This was the story of the night
up to 12 o'clock and It promised to con
tinue with little or no variation indcll
nltelw The storm was general over the en
tile east, but the steam roads had ex
perienced no difficulty up to 10 o'clock
p. m. The train from New York over
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern at S.45 was only four minutes late,
and Night Despatcher Cowles did not
know but what this slight delay was
due us much to the heavy traffic as to
tho snow. Everything was serene on
all the dlffeient divisions at 10 o'clock,
but there was no telling, Mr. Cowles
Mild, how long these conditions would
continue.
The Delaware and Hudson trains,
bouth-bound, weie a little late on ac
count of waits at Carbondale for the
gravity connections. The gravity was
open early in the night, but theie were
fears that It would be blocked before
morning. The tie-up of the electric
roads Increased the passenger traffic
on the Delaware and Hudson a very
appieclable extent.
FEARS FOR THE NIC.HT.
With the telegraph and telephone
companies the same conditions held
good no .serious bother, but fears for
the night. The gieat weight of snow
that accumulated on the wires In the
central city caused some apprehension
for the heavily burdened poles and to
relievo some of this weight men with
sledge hammers went around jarring
the poles and causing the wires to
shake themselves loose of some of their
coating.
The weather overhead was not pro
pitious for pleasure sleighing and not
us much of this diversion was appar
ent In the evening us might be ex
pected. Teamsters, who, by experi
ence, are taught to place but little
faith In .the staying qualities of Scran
ton snow, were loth to chunge from
wheels to runners, and consequently
not many sleighs were seen during the
day.
Associated press .despatches report
heavy miow and drifting and delayed
traffic from various parts of the state.
Trains on the Pennsylvania and Buf
falo, Rochester and Pittsburg roads
were running with much difficulty, and
from one to three hours behind time.
Early morning witnesses nn increase
If anything In the weight of the fall
and severity of tho wind. Trains are
cxpeilencing no little difficulty, the
stteet cars can only make feeble at
tempts at moving.

STEAM PIPE BURSTS.
Three .lieu Were Burned and a Build
ing Somowlint Vt recked.
By the bursting of a large steam pipe
In tho engine room of Jonas Long's
Sons' department store, yesterday
morning, three men were painfully In
ured, the building was damaged and
a general commotion occasioned.
The engine room is In a separate
brick building at the rear of the store
and the pipe in question, a iVz inch
cast-Iron one, Is carried overhead from
tho boiler-house to supply tho three
engines, two of which are for running
the electric motors and one for fur
nishing power to the pneumatic tube
cash-carrying system.
This latter engine was completed yes
terday und the steam was turned on
to make a lest ot It. Water had col
lected in the supply pipe and this pre
vented the free passage of the steam.
Thete was a deafening noise ns of
rapid, heavy hammering and the next
moment the pipe snapped in twain,
Just above the last elbow. The force
of the explosion hurled the last length
of the pipe against the thlrteen-lnch
brick wall, knocking n hole In It Just
below the eaves, laige enough for a
man to crawl through. Tho escaping
steam tilled the loom in a Hash and
caused the six men at work there to
beat a wild retreat.
Engineer J. R. Harris, of this city,
was scalded on the back of his neck
and light foreaim: John D. Vander
walker, foreman of the Lamson Cash
Carrier system, of Boston, who was
supei intending the work of putting In
the engine, sustained a painful abras
ion of tho left leg in jumping through
a wlhdcw, and his assistant, L. M.
Lamson, of this city, who tried to get
out without llrst rulsing the sash, had
both Viands badly cut.
Despite his burns. Engineer Harris,
with good presence of mind, ran nround
to the boiler loom and turned off the
steam, which at the time was at eighty
pounds pressure.
The explosion and the clouds of es
caping steam "caused a panic for a
time among the aimy of cleiks In the
store and before this was quieted moie
excitement bobbed up from without, a
large crowd having collected upon the
spread of a rumor to the effect that
the boilers had blown up, with all
kinds of consequences. That nothing
more serious resulted Is attributable
most to great good fortune. Four of
the men In the engine room were yes
terday engaged In putting an abestos
covering on the very section of the
pipe that burst. At the time of the
explosion, however, It happened that
none of them were on the scaffolding
Engineer J.Iarrls had his burns
dressed at the store and was sent home
In a cab by Manager Hawthorne. The
other Injured men, after having their
cuts bandaged up, stayed around to
oversee tho work on the engines.
