BICYCLE PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION.
Compnny Composed of Iteprcscntn

W hodmen Against Loss by Theft.
For tho last thlrtv days tho work of
organizing1 a company to bo known n.s
the Pennsylvania lilovr-le Protective
association has been going- quietly on.
Now the nroject is In such shape nnd
the plans so matuied that it was Sat
urday announced by the board of di
rectors that the nssoclutlon Is nn ns
sured fact. Local wheelmen have had
considerable experience of various
kinds with companies of doubtful
leputatlon, located all over the coun
tiy, who, for a stipulation, pave the
wheelmen a contract so worded as to
fully protect tho company against any
legal action a wheelmnn might take to
iccover the Insurance on his wheel
when the same hnd been stolen. Owing
to tho location of these companies as
tegards Scranton, the local wheelmen
weie compelled to Institute a good deal
of long range correspondence and. In
the majority of cases, lesulted In a
compromise that left the wheelmen In
a more or p.s dlsatlsfied frame of
mind.
With the Pennsylvania Bicycle P10
tectlve a&soclatlon, theie will be no
dilllculty of this kind, ns the company
Intends to (online its operations to this
and the adjoinine ountles, with
bianclus in the pilnclpal cities in each
county, and immediate action will bo
tuken on all thefts. A decided novelty
of wheel insuiance will be Instituted
by this company Inasmuch as when a
wheel i.s leported stolen, the ilder does
not have to wait until his clnim is
taken up by several ' loss committees"
and undetgo a lot of icd-tape, but as
soon as his claim is lepoited at the
home office of the eompany, u wheel
will be loaned to him ut once, that he
may not suffer uny inconvenience from
the loss of his mount. In the mean
time the eompany, thiough its agents
and ropiefcentntlves all over this pait
or the state, and thiough the Uuulng
& McSweeney nnd "Columbia Detective
agencies, will institute a careful search
for the wheel, which, if found, will be
letumed to the rider and owner with
out anj further chaige.
If the wheel Is not iccoveied, the
company will give a duplicate of the
wheel lost as near as the s-arac can be
obtained, und, if unable to obtain a
duplicate wheel, will give a new wheel
In plate of the stolen one. n.u-h wheel
will be protected by a copyrighted and
attiactlve Uthoginphed legister device,
which will be placed in a prominent
poMtlnn on the uppei part of the frame,
indicating: the fact that the wheel Is
leglstered with the association, and
giving Its legister number. In nddl
tlon to this there will be a pi hate
matk for fuithei means of identifica
tion. In addition to tho wheel Insuiance,
the company has made auangements
thiough the general agents of the Na
tional Ilegistiy company, of New Yoik.

The company will be Incorporated,

tho Most Interest In tlio Present
Cninpnlpn.
When the Republican city committee
finished the flnnl council of the cam
paign Sttnrdny night, Chairman Chit
tenden told the candidates that their
election wns nssuted. This was sn'd
ofter the field had been thoroughly
canvassed and every obtruding iues
tlon thoroughly discussed, pto and con.
Nothing but nn unexpectedly small Re
publican vote can cause even a single
defeat and ns the best of Itepubllcan
weather Is promised there is little need
In worry on this score.
The calculations ure Hint there will
be a big vote polled by both sides nil
through the cltj.
It Is seldom that a city committee hna
taken such nn Inteicst In Its campaign
nn has the present one. Its evcty mem
ber Is a worker and in the cause at
hand, a willing woiker. Tho meetings
wero enthusiastic and linimonlou3 and
vhcit each was concluded those pres
ent went uwny with the satisfaction of
having accomplished something. It ie
mains now for the Itepubllcan voters to
cioun their zealous elToits with success
and to do this all that Is necessary Is
that they come out and vote.
WARDS THAT 1IAVK FIOHTS.
In the ward fights everything; pres
ages that the Republicans will come out
with a gain In both councils and in the
school boaul. There are Some-very clos.
nnd exciting fights, however, and It will
be no walkover in some Instances for
the Republican candidates
In the Second ward Common Coun
cilman P. F. Gotdon Is endeavoring to
crowd out his colleague, Selectman
Wade M. Finn, and as he is a vety
popular young man and a hatd lighter
It ins been necessary for his opponent
to do some of his chaini'teilstle hust
lir.t to clinch a vlctorj.
In the Fouith wind thare Is .llso a
HvMv fight for sole t council but tho
chances of Demociatlc success are very
far lemovcd. The watd Is overwhelm
ingly Republican and thf candidate,
Simon Thomas, is one of the strongest
Republicans in the ward .is was shown
In the three cornoied primaries from
which he emerged with a inability that
was suiprlslngly laige even ir his 1110.U
tanguine friends. John Ronchelei, the
Democratic cindldate, counts on get
ting some voles from dissatlslied Re
publicans nnd he doubtlessly will, but
they will be few at the most and will
be more than offset by tho Democratic
voteis that this popular young oppon
crt i 111 t-ecure The light for common
couni 11 hardly deserves the dignity of
being classed In the category of con
tests so sine is the victory of the Re
publican candidate. William A . GrilU

ward Is going to make a full showing

AV. Zizelmann, the Republican candi
date for common councilman, went Into
the fight ut tho request of many citi
zens of the watd, and expects, with
the help of people who want an nggres

the lower blanch, to retire the present
member. John J. Flanaghan, who be

lowed tho primaries to go by default,
that they might avoid tho possibility
of ha vine to run on opposite tickets
nnd announced themselves ns Independ
ents. They are opposed by John J.
Shea for select council and John J.
Monahan for common council ni the
regular Democratic nominees, nnd for
select council Henry Coyle nnd An
thony J. Lundy are also nominees. The
different tickets are respectively named
Democratic, Independent, Citizens and
People's, Mr. Coyle being tho People's
candidate,
Peter Ross, for select, nnd M. II.
Rlnehnit, for common, will seek to
give the Fourteenth to tho Republi

lnc; this are very bright. They oppose
Selectman P. F. McCann, who seeks
to-electlon, nnd Charles Wenzel, for
whom President I'. J. Nenlls, of com
mon council, sacrificed himself In the
hopes of staying tho sure defeat that
confronted the Democruts In that
ward. Now It is admitted that the sac
rifice was a fruitless one.
SCHROliDnit HAS IT KASy.
In the Sixteenth ward Select Coun
cilman Adam Schroedor received nn
unanimous nomlnntlon from tho Re
publicans and Is unopposed for elec
tion. His colleague, Fred. F. Schoen,
will bo one of tho men who will cut
down the Democratic majority in the
lower branch. Edward Coleman Is
putting up n game fight ngnlnst him,
but theie nie no fenis of his being
elected.
The Eighteenth has a hot Democratic
fight for select council; In fact, It Is
one of the hottest of the campaign.
John Hobnn Is tho regular nominee
and his opponent Is Thomas O'Royle.
There are two Democratic candidates
In the field for school controller In the
Nineteenth, Frank Mnnlej- and Peter
Allbaugh, but as they neglected to
have court decide which, was tho tegu
lar nominee, neither will have his name
on the ballot nnd ns a consequence the
Republican candidate, Louis Schwass,
will have comparatively easy sailing.
In the Twentieth ward M. T Cahlln,
for select, and M. O. Lnngan, for- com
mon, are running ns both Independent
and Republican candidates against
Thomas J. Coyne, the present select
mnn, who wants to be given another
trial, and M. J. Cuslck. It is a fac
tional fight and the chances strongly
favor the Independent-Republican candidates.
MYSTERIOUS FIRE.
It Causes Considerable Loss in a Spruce
Street Store Building Losses
Were Large.
(Ptompt and effective work by the
firemen quenched u fire which sturted
from a mysterious cause about mid
night Saturday night in the two-story
wooden building nt 51S and E20 Spruce
street, and which Is only half of the
whole structure, Nos. r.22 and 524 being
sepatated by a paitltlon und a first
lloor stairway leading front the street.
The vacant stote at Nos. CIS and MO
was occupied by a wax wotks museum.
The front olllces upstairs were occup il
by Attorney Oeorge H. Davidson a, I
the Culver Manufuctutlng compan.,,
William Frantz, a real estate agent,
occupied a middle office off tho upper
hallway; Fiank II. Leader, two print

an Injured foot. The lire wns quenched
in less than nn hour.
An examination tevealed that the
Willis, lloor, type cases nnd fumltuie
in the teat olllce of Shermnn & Musser
had been thoroughly burned, us had
been the rear room of the Leader es
tablishment. The other rooms near the
rear of the second lloor weie mote or
less burned, but not as badly as the
back looms. The front ofllces were but
bllghtly Injuied by smoke and water.
Fiank Chevalier, of Monti eal, was
the ptoprletor of the museum on the
htreet floor, which contained $12,000
wotth of curios and wax llgmes. The
contents of the museum wete almost
totally mined, but no pait of the big
loom it occupied was severely burned
except nt the rear und under the tear
loom of Sherman & Musser.
C. P. Dnvidbon owned the sttuctute,
which was dumnged to the extent of
$1,200 and was fully Insuied Sherman

also a flnnnclnl loss and he had ar
ranged to go this week to Syracuse,
where he had engaged a place for ex

receipt. To pay his bills in Scranton
he paw ned some diamonds nnd a brace

assistant, William Hill, they left the
museum ut 11. ns o'clock, turning n

fifteen minutes later the lire was ills

He announced first thnt contrary to
their usual custom a collection would

made for the purpose and nfter sinking
again, Mr. Mahy spoke as follows:
TEST OF ITS CHARACTER.
"Tho tecent destruction of our beau
tiful building on Wynmlntr avenue was
a test of its character. We discussed
the matter of Insurance in our direc
tors' meeting some months ngo, and
decided that It was a wife building and
thnt the danger of anything more than
a partial loss wns very remote. The
tire proved that we were wrong, Just
so a good many men are satisfied with
their chutch and attainments but in
tho great trial by fire which is to come
on all human accomplishment the re
sult will lie made apparent.
'This disnsttr to our bulldinc: is a
test not only of the building Itself but
of the very fabtlc ot the association
w hlch hnd Its home in tho building. Th
business men of the city have nener
ously undertaken to replace the build
ing' with a better one, but thej' have a
tlpht to expect tho utmost loyaltj' and
even self-sacrifice on the oart of th'e
voting men who are the direct bene
ficiaries of the work.
"It will le Impossible for the asso
ciation directors to ask the business
men for generous conttlbutlons to the
building fund and to expect them at
tho same time to support the work in
the meantime, this must bo done by the
young men thembolves and the way to
do It Is for the members to pay up their
fees, even though they do not get the
full equivalent In physical or intellec
tual or social advantage.
TWO CLASSES OF MEMBERS.
"There will be two classes of mem
bers enrolled th'ls summer as Mr.
Frank, our mctnbeishlp secretarj',
calls for renevvnls. The "getting" mem
ber and the giving1 member, In which
class are jou? Let us Ive such an
object lesson to the city of loyalty to
the aosoclatlon and unselfish devotion
to Its work, .th'at those who have the
matter In hand may feel encouraged
to plan largely and L'eneiouslj' for us
because we deseive it "
The earnest facts in the nudience at
tested the deep Impression made bj Mr.
Mahy's appeal. And at the close of the
meeting1 voluntarily gave their names to
present voluntarily gave their names to
Mr Trains, as suppoitlng members, and
this without suggestion that such ac
tion be taken at that time.
It looks as If the young men were
verj- much. In earnest and could be de
pended on to do th'eir part In tho coin
ing canvass for the new building.
