In the report In Saturday's Tribune of the proceedings in tho trial of Kelly vs. the Scrnnton Hallway company it was snld that Dr. J. K. O'Hrlen, an ex pert witness for tho defense, had shown unwillingness to testify as to tho amount of his fee. and thnt the court ' had to compel him to testify on this point. Dr. O'Urlen assures us that this is untrue nnd calculated to put him In a false position before the community. "There was an effort." he says, "on the part of the counsel to show that I might be biased by a salary, or by be ing regularly employed by the Traction company; nnd your report gives this contention plausibility, whereas, I am sure that a correct report would have , At ll4,A..r.

In twenty minutes after th'e fire was discovered the big building was a mass of llames. Tho people of the neighbor hood had 'been aroused by Mrs. Gal lagher'. cries for help and the excite ment following but no means was at hand to stay the sway of the flames. The wind at first was directly west and toward the Richmond bienker. Between the burning building and the breaker ;itiod a low squat house, occu pied by four families of foreigners. That It still stands Is a miracle. The houses north and south of the lire were farther distant and these were touch ed by th'e llanu-s but the low squat house escaped. The trees In the icur of the hotel lot were burned nnd when the flames burst out tlfe flying embers, some It Is said as big as a hat. arose in the air over the house in the rear and were carried by the wind toward the breaker, a few yards on the other side. The scene In the dullness of the early morning was beautiful but ominous. The embers, Hying in the air, struck squarely against the massive breaker building and were either quenched In the snow on the roof or fell back to the ground. Time and again a llatno burned for a second or so on the roof, but finally died out. After a time the wind changed from tf.ward the breaker to the southwest and the crowd turned their attention from the breaker to assisting McPher son nnd McGlnley. who were taking their household furniture from the dwelling houses on the south and north respectively. Everything was saved from the flames, but thieves carried off most of the furniture. Mrs. JlcPherson was 111 and had to be carried from the house. FIGHTING THE FIRE. The goods had hardly been removed when both houses became Ignited. At about the same time lire companies Nos. 1 and J having been sent for ar rived from Olyphnnt.

The many friends nnd relatives of Alfred AV. Sumner, purchasing agent of the Pennsylvania railroad system, will , be shocked to hear of his death nt his , residence at Jloorestown, N. .1., Satur- ' day evening last at C o'clock. I Mr. and Mrs. Sumner visited Scran- i ton a few weeks ago, and were tho i guests of Mr. and Mis. E. V. Kings bury. The friends who then met them will remember the visit wltl'i more than ' ordinary pleasure, for Mr. Sumner's : visits to his old home have been for i ninny years of rare occurrence. i Old residents of Scranton will re- ' member him as a clerk in the store of the Lackawanna Iron and Coal com pany In the year 1855, From Scranton he went to New York city as a clerk In I a wholesale dry goods store from New York to Hnnisburg, where he took up the study of the law, and was admitted to the bar. In Harrlsburg he made the acquaintance of a prominent represen tative of the Pennsylvnnla railroad, who induced him to remove to Ilaltlmore, where for nearly twenty years he was In charge of the purchasing department of the Northern Central railway, a part of the Pennsylvnnla system. Some few years ago he vu called to the Phlla. delphla office of the Pennsylvania rail road, and made purchasing agent of the company, filling the ollice with abil ity until his death. Mr. Sumner's mother was u sister of the late Charles and George Fuller, and of Francis Fuller, now residing In this city. She wns nlso a sister of Mrs. Kingsbury, mother of H. A. and E. P. Kingsbury. Mr. Sumner was an affable and agreeable gentleman, an earnest and sincere Christian, a man of the highest sense of honor, a devoted and affection ate son, a loving husband and father, and a business man of rare ability. Dining his whole career he merited and received the confidence, regard and re spect of all with whom he came In contact. Such Is the record of u former Scran tonlan, whose loss will be grievously felt by all who knew him. MRS. P. D. AUNLRY DEAD. i:pircd Suddenly Last Night in n Choking Spell. Mrs. P. 1).
