WWMIl pw P32 IB "H1 lobe Warehotis i lfoiJl'&Jp'wrwmmmfw-'-mvmm Worry and Disappointment Vanish Theso are tho very words which ono of Scranton's best dressed women used in our Ladies' Suit Department the other day, and in littering them she referred to the difteicnee in buying all la dies' outer garments, ready-to-wear, in place of worrying, fussing aud grieving over the faults and failures of tho dressmaker. Our Fine Tailored Suits for Ladies Are equal, in every respect, to tho linest work that the highest priced labor can produce, and to see a garment finished, and test its becoming or unbecoming effect, before it becomes your prop erty is infinitely more satislactory than to discover yourself look ing like a fright in it, after you've been to all the expense of having it made to your order. While talking in this strain wo address our remarks chiefly to women, who still havo an idoa that thoy cannot get anything lit to wear unless it is especially made to their order. Wo've labored for sovoral years now to dissipate this foolish notion, and to thoso who will favor us with a call this weok wo positively can Demonstrate That We Are Right Saturday morning a large force of men wuro put at work cleaning away the charred debris which remains after tho disastrous burning of the Oxford breaker, on Tenth street, early last Friday morning. The men are in charge of Outside Foreman W. 1J. Thornton. The purpose Is to get the loose stuff out of the way so us to get at tho large quantities of marketable coal which the breaker "pockets" con tained at the time of tho lire. Temporary pockets will bo erected and the coal stored therein to guard ugalnst loss and as a protection from the weather. As quickly us possible the coal will be disposed of. Further than the above work, nothing Is be ing done Just now. Later, however, tho Umbers In tho shaft such as the bunt ings, carriage guides, etc., wherever burned below the mouth of tho shaft will bo taken out and replaced. The column pipes of tho big pump in sev eral Instances will need attention. Though the Oxford workings are known ns "wet" In mining parlnnce, no dllllculty has ensued thus far In handling the water. The secondary steam plant, situated north of the de stroyed breaker and some distance away, escaped Injury of any moment and all the steam required at present Is at hand. Naturally the above work Is neces sary at this time, but the serious ques tion which confronts tho oillclals and men who were employed In the mines and breaker Is that of re-bulldlng. Tho men are anxiously awaiting an answer to this question, and thus far noth ing has been given out by nny of ficial connected with the company which would In any manner answer the auestlon. So far as the necessity of re-bulldlng Is concerned as regards the getting out of tho coal, other arrangements are possible. There Is coal enough to mine for years to come, nnd of course .will not be abandoned. But these workings are uccesslble by several openings from adjacent workings, all belonging to and operated by the Delaware. Lackawanna and Western company. For Instance, the Hyde Park mine workings nre con nected with the Oxford In the big vein; the Central mines, in the Clnti: Vein, nnd tho Hellevue, In the rock vein. Either of the first two are prac ticable for usage In hauling tho coal out by these workings now. Put there Is no breuker at the Central shaft, the coal from theso workings being taken to the Sloan breaker. And, too, neith er tho Sloan or Central mines are be ing operated owing to sinking opera tions going on In both shafts to open up the Clark vein. At tho Rellevuo connection in the rock vein It Is pot so practicable as this vein Is worked out In the Ox ford mines and abandoned. Still It could be adapted easily to a use of this kind. All three connections would en tall considerable expenditure to use them. As was staled In the report of the fire, the large 'ashery" breaker ad joining the other breaker, was also de stroyed. This plant was erected nbout three years ago at great expense nnd was used In getting what good there ivas In the culm coming from the other breaker, this being usually waste. In order to keep the "washery" supplied an endless chain with scoops attached was used to draw the culm already de posited in a huge "dump" near by dur ing the course of years previous to the erection of the "wnshery." This dump, divided Into two parts by South Luzerne street, covered approxi mately about twenty ncres, and only about seven acres have been cleared thus far. There are possibly two rea sons why the "washery" may be re built. The culm can still be utilized nnd would go to waste otherwise and the land thus uncovered could be put on the market. Ninth nnd Oxford streets could be extended through to Luzerne and Meridian streets respec tively and thus a big and valuable Im provement made. The sinking of a shaft and erection of a colliery upon a piece of property situated opposite the South Steel mills, thus far not operated on, may again come for consideration. There was some talk of such a thlntr a few venrs i ago, and now that there is some doubt as to the re-bulldlng of the Oxford breaker attention may revert to this latter Idea. Mrs. Patbick Dankiiy, West Wlnstcd, Conn., writes: "TlKAIt MltS. PlN'KtlAM! It Is with pleasure that I write to you of tho benutlt I have derived from using your wonderful Vegetable Compound.

John Thomas, of Hromley avenue, narrowly escaped serious injury to himself nnd tho burning down of the house ho resides In, yesterday after noon by a very peculiar accident. As It was. the people of the neighborhood and Mr. Thomas' family were consid erably frightened. Shortly before 2 o'clock Mr. Thomas went Into tho sitting room und lying down on the lounge, struck u match to light his pipe. In throwing tho mutch toward a spittoon, sitting near by on the lloor, It clung to hl3 fingers and then dropped onto the lounge. The llamo of the mutch Ignited a heavy fringe on tho loungo and almost in stantly tho whole top was ablaze, the excelsior stulllng being highly Inflam mable. Mr. Thomas Jumped away nnd thus prevented his clothes from becoming Ignited. He did not lose his presence of mind and. opening a door which led to the outside, he dragged tho blazing lounge Into tho yard, where It was par tially consumed before' tho llames could bo extinguished. Neighbors seeing this, became excited nnd an alarm was turned In from Hox 32, corner of liromley avenue nnd Swot land street, to which the Franklins and Columbia) responded. Their services were not, however, needed. This is tho first alarm of fire from this side since the Oxford gong wnt destroyed, and all alurms on this side wltl now bo still MINOR NEWS NOTES.

MINOOKA. ITS AFFAIRS WOUND PP. The Meadow- Hrook Pullding und Loan association wound up Its affairs Saturday, the last meeting being held the night previous. The career of the association has been most successful, and the many Intricate matters that have been passed on by the ofllcors and directors were settled in a most satis factory manner. In October, 1SSS, the association was organized In Rattle's hall, und the first set of officers were: Hon. John P. Qulnnun, president: M. F. Corcoran, now postmaster ot Duryea, was chosen vice-president; C. G.IJoland, treasurer, and M. J. Ketiick, secretary, and the board of directors was com posed of Ambrose Hertz, M. J. Ruddy, P. V. Stokes, Frank Miller. M. G. Lan gan. John J. Murphy, S. S. Spruks, J. F. Kuhn nnd AVIlllam Tobln. These olllcers served two terms and then S. S. Spruks wns elected presi dent nnd Ambroso Hertz, treasurer; Mr. Ketrlek was re-elected secretary, and they have served continuously to the close. The association had 400 stockholders and 3.000 shares of stock valued at $200 a share. In an interview with a Tribune reporter, Mr. Hertz stated that the approximate amount of money that has passed through tho as sociation's treasury during tho time it was In existence is $C0O,O00.
