Fire, yesterday morning almost to
tally wiped out tho surface plant of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
company's Oxford colliery on Tenth
street, entailing a property loss of $160,
000 and big consequentul damages that
cannot bo estimated.
The breaker with the main engine
room, valued at $70,000, the recently
erected culm washery, which cost $15
000, the fan house, boiler room, car
penter and blacksmith shops, pump
house and retail packets were totally
destroyed and an annex boiler house,
to the north, wash house, water tnnk
and other buildings were more or less
damaged.
The Uames broku out In the fan house
adjoining the breaker on the south at
about 5 o'clock, from Home cause not
accounted for, but supposed to be an
overheated Journal, The oil soaked
timbers and a stiff south wind acceler
ated the progress uf the llames and In
a. very short time both these buildings
were completely enveloped and the
others were one after the other tak
ing lire from the monster tongues of
Haines that reached In all directions.
Twenty minutes would not be an ex
aggeration (if tho time that Inter
vened between the breaking out of
the llames and tho sounding of the
alarm, according to the statement
made about the scene yesterday. There
Is a Are alarm station at the breaker
but when an attempt was made to
utilize It, it was found that the con
necting wires had been melted by the
flames. Then recourse was had to
box 35 at the corner of Main avenue
and Jackson street.
ALARM SENT OUT.
The alarm sent from here brought
the West Side companies to the
scene, but on their arrival they found
It barely possible to get near enough
to the lire to reach It with a steamer
stream. Chief Hlckey upon arriving
telephoned for help and succeeded In
getting live companies of the central
city district quickly to tho scene. All
worked heroically but their efforts
were of little avail. Every building
attacked by the lire was totally con
sumed with exception of the annex
boiler house to the north, which had
Its nearest end destroyed: the retail
pockets, to the west, which were so
badly burned that what remains of
them will have to be torn down and
several small buildings which because
of their Isolation were scorched rather
than burned.
Rut for the fact that there was a
delay In giving the alarm and that the
the only lire engine on the West Side,
that of the Franklins, could not be
used becnuse of Its dilapidated condi
tion, it Is quite possible that much of
tho property could have been saved,
Chief Hlckey says.
At S o'clock the (Ire had virtually
burned itself out and at 10 o'clock
the central city companies! were sent
home. Details from the Franklins and
Columblas assisted by company em
ployes, kept streams playing on tho
smouldering ruins all day long. At
6 o'clock p. m. "lire taps" were
sounded.
There were only two men In tho
mine when tho lire broke out. Fire
Rosses Murray and Richards. They
came oul through the second opening
located at the foot of the hill at a
safe distance from tho breaker. The
mules were taken out luter through
various openings.
CRIRRING TOOK FIRE.
The cribbing of tho main shaft took
flro at the surface opening and burned
for some distance. The llames were
easily extinguished, however, by a hose
taken down the second opening and
through the rock vein to tho main
ehaft.
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
mine ofllclals from all over tho valley
were early on the scene nnd when at
tention was turned from the conflagra
tion they Joined in devising means for
saving the mine which is an extremely
"wet" one.
The pumps at the foot of the shaft
were supplied with steam from tho
breaker boilers and when this supply
was cut off, the water accumulated
with great rapidity. At -1 o'clock It
hud reached such a depth that por
tions of the pump were under water
and much difllculty was encountered In
making connections with the tempor
ary st"am pipes, hunledly run through
the second opening which fortunately
communicates with tho lowest vein.
No necurnto account of the loss could
bo secured. Assistant Coal Agent A. H.
Storrs declining to give out any in
formation on the subject, saying It was
the compnny's business and did not
Interest the public. The estimates giv
en above were arrived at nfter Inter
views were had with subordinate olll
elals and Insurance men on the scene.
The consequential damages will be
Hrge, hut not as large as they might
be. It Is said, because the mine was
seven or eight years "ahead of Its
leases," or In other words can be Idle
tlmt long without being called upon
to pay loyalty by default.
About BOO men and boys are thrown
out of employment and It Is not known
how soon tho plant will be rebuilt, or
even that It will be rebuilt, these mat
ters being settled In New York at the
company's head ofllce,
SHUT DOWN SATURDAY.
The mine shut down last Saturday
nnd there wns nothing deflnlto given
out as to when It would start again.
Some few men were employed begin
ning Monday, In taking the pea coal
from the bank where it was stored and
running It through tho breaker screens
to prepare It for market. This would
not continue long, however.
The mino Ih one of the oldest in tho
region, having been In operation since
1802. It has a capacity larger than the
average colliery and still has large
deposits of coal unworked. The culm
wnshery was built three years ago. It
wns a very modern structure in the
matter of equipment and had a Itlrf
capacity. William Thornton was out-j-ldo
foreman and Joseph Lloyd inside
foreman.
Nearly 1200 feet of city hose was de
Btroyed at the flro and the Indicator
for the gong, which was stationed In
the breaker wns consumed. A new In-
dlrntor will bo placed In tho Central
nlr shaft on Wnshburn street.
USB OP ANTIIRACITO COAL
t'enntrlvanln CongrsMmoti Vrgo tho
Nnvr Drpnrtrarnt to IJnn It.
A special dispatch to thoWllkcs-Darra
Recoid give tho following account
of a visit paid to Secretary Long, of the
navy, by a congressional party com
prising Representatives Connell, Kulp,
Williams and Brumm, of Pennsylvania.
The visit was made with a vleW of
having anthraclto coal used on board
the warships.
Representative Brumm, acting as
spokesman, cited the superiority of an
thracite over bituminous coal in this
connection by stating that no obscur
ing smoke could define tho position of
a vessel or prevent tho seeing of sig
nals during a squadron evolution, by
day, nor disclose blockade running by
flames by night. The danger of spon
taneous combustion would be reduced
to a minimum, nnd the anthracite coal
would retain Its vitality longer during
storage or exposure.
Nothing definite was gained, but the
visit was In a sense but preliminary to
future action, probably to presenting
the matter in the house. At least the
above-named gentlemen will not let the
matter drop.

llulldincs.
The work of nrranglng the board of
control appropriations for the fiscal
year of 189S wus started last evening
by the finance committee. Against an
estimated revenue or $381,400 estimates
were received from the several com
mittees and school departments
amounting to $459,465.25, which, with
one supplementary estimate of $2,200,
left $80,259.25 to be cut down.
Captain W. A. May, of tho Ninth
wnrd, chairman of the committee, pre
sided. The other members of tho com
mittee present were: T. J. Jennings, B.
M. Davis, John Gibbons and D. I. Phil
lips, the complete committee. A. L.
Francois, president of the board, was
also present, as were Controllers Jayne
and Casey.
Following Is a summarized statement
of the estimates received:
For sinking fund and Interest. ..$ 32,0(10 00
Deficits 33,000 00
High and Training school 32,422 ()
Teachers 150,000 00
Night schools 7.500 00
Building committee 158,770 no
Finance committee S.470 l0
Supply committee 20,6.1X00
Toxt book committee 10,000 00
Insurance committee 745 25
Total $45iM65 25
Estimated revenue 3SJ.103
Deficit 78,059 2,',
Supplementary estimate 2,200 00
Total deficit $80,259 25
INCREASED REVENUE.
It wns estimated by tho committee
tlint the final city assessed valuation,
after the board of revision and ap
peal has finished Its work, will be $22,
500,000. At 14 mills, the 1897 school tax
rate, the revenue would be $315,000.
Less a 3 per cent, allowance for the
city treasurer's fees, exonerations nnd
non-coller-tnble tnves, $10,450, the rev
enue would be $305,r,50, to which was
aided $7r,S5C, expected from the state
appropriation, giving a total revenue
of $3Sl,40fi. This Is $35,000 over the
revenue of last year.
The foregoing figures were based by
the committee 'upon tho 1897 14-mill
levy. This levy was divided as follows:
4 per cent, for building purposes,
1 per cent, for sinking fund and In
terest, 7'44 per cent, for general school
purpor.es. The limit prescribed by law
is 2fi mills, of which not more than 13
mills shall be for building purposes
and not more than 13 mills for general
school purposes.
It was found last night that to reduce
the appropriations to an amount within
the revenue would require a cut of
nearly 2c per cent, in each estimate.
A uniform cut on that basis would not,
however, have been either equitable or
practicable. It was at once realized
that the sinking fund nnd interest, de
ficits, finance committee and possibly
the teachers committee estimates would
stand no reduction.
The work of reducing the high nnd
training committee, night schools,
building committee, supply commit
tee and text book committee estimates
wns begun nnd $54,000 In reductions
were made. The result was not final,
however, and nt the next meeting of
the committee Tuesday evening. Items
untouched may be reduced or those re
duced may be Increased again or fur
ther reduced.
THE REDUCTIONS.
The ptlnclple reductions made In the
estimates last night were: $10,000 from
the building committee's estimate of
$!0,0PO for new buildings, $2,000 from
the same committee's estimate for la
bor and supplies, $2,000 from tho text
book estimate of $10,000, $2,000 from
the supply committee estimate and $150
from the Insurance committee estimate.
It now costs less than $4,000, or 1 per
cent, to pay the city treasurer's and
tax collecting fees. A vast Increase
would be shown If tho board of six It
permitted to take Its seats. Under tho
board-of-slx law, G per cent, would have
to be allowed the treasurer, who may
be one of the number, nnd 2 per cent,
would have to be paid delinquent col
lectors, a total expense of about $2S,000
based on this year's estimated assess
ed valuation.
MISS QREEN BRINGS SUIT.
Awarded n Judgment of 995 in Idrr
m nn Howe's Court.
Miss Ktta Oreen, recently prosecuted

PLUMPING ORDINANCE.
Republican! Have a Plan Which Will
ho Materialized.
A new or nn amended plumbing In
spector ordinance is to be created by
the Republican members of common
council despite the assertion of certain
Democrats that provision for the In
spector's salary had been omitted from
tho appropriation ordinance, now on
passage, In the face of protests from
the Rulldtng Trades council and "4,000
laboring men." As much was utated
publicly by President Molr during tho
common council session Thursday
night.
Mr. Keller has n plan for furthering
a general opinion that the office should
be self-supporting. He believes pro
vision should be made for collecting 60
cents or $1 per test, two tests to be
made on each contract. Ho ndvocates
a $10 master plumbers' license and a
$1 registration fee for each Journey
man plumber. These views are In
furtherance of suggestions made by
certain master plumbers who do not
wholly approve of the plumbing ordi
nance recently passed.
Mr. Molr's plnn for revenue Is n col
lection as follows for examination of
contracts: 50 cents for contracts under
$100; $1.60 for contracts between $100
and $1,000; 60 cents additional for each
$100 over $1,000. He would Impose a fee
of 50 cents for each smoke test and $1
for each water test, both to be re
quired. The best points of tho two plans will
probably be combined and an ordinance
or amendments to tho present ordi
nance Introduced at once.

Great musicians use Ktmballs. Thti
testimony of musicians who command
a salary of from $1,000 to $2,0D0 for each
performance must be accepted as hav
ing weight. They, at least, escape tha
charge of not knowing what they are
talking about. Lillian Nordtca says:
"Tho more I use my Kimball piano the
better I like it." Jean Da Ileszko says:
"We have concluded to purchase Kim
ball pianos for our personal use," John
Philip Sousa claims: "Tho Kimball
piano Is first-class in every respect."
Somo of the most beautiful cases in
walnut, mahogany and oak can be seen
here. I have some lino large pianos,
all colors, from $250 to $350, on easy
terms, and a term of lessons free.
