FIRE IN A FACTORY.
Was Productive of no Little Excite
ment Yesterday Morning.
At y.su o'clock yesteidny morning
an alarm of lire was sent In from
box 2C, at the eornei ot Washington
nnd Lackuwunmi avenues. When the
teutrul city companies responded their
attention was direeted to the quarters
of the Union Manufacturing company's
Hilrt and overall factory, which Is
located on the thin floor of the old
Monies ami I'ur.li building. The blaze
did but slight dnmage and was caused
by a pile nf refuse paper becoming Ig
nited In the rear of the plant.
The most exciting feature of the af
fair was the panic stricken condition
of tlm thirty-live young women Mho
are employed about tho establishment.
When the volumes of smoke tilled the
large loom tho cries of "lire" were
made Mith a. vim. A desperate' dash
was made for the elevator, which la
operated by hand. Fifteen of the girls
got nboaid, but It came to a stop
within a few feet M-hlle between floors.
Hy the uso of ladders the young woin
en weie removed.

OPINION OF SUPREME COURT
IN AN INTERESTING CASE.
Suit Over the Possession of Mine
Mochlnoiy That Has Been Active
ly Beforo Court for Three Years.
The Referee, the Court of First
Instance nnd the Supremo Court
Reach the Same Final Decision,
but by Different Routes Justice
Dean's Findings.
I I'ruthonotnry Copelnnd yesterday r-
oll of , ,,, Simifme court In Pitts-
burc
The enso Is peculiar from this fact,
that although the referee's finding of
facts on the main uucstlon at lssiio
Mat. te versed by the local court and
! the local com I'm decision reversed by
' the Supreme court, nil three ilerlaliuis
were alike In faor of the plalntl'f.
. .Mr. Tot icy, who Mas the referee, d?-
elded that the Chamberlain company
; was solvent and found for the Klnch
compiinj. JudKe Archbald decided that
! the company Mas Insolvent, but that
the allegation of fruud was not sus-
talncd and found In favor of the Finch
' eoiiip.uiy. Justice Dean decides that
If the company was Insolvent the nl-
leRatlon of fraud was well foundtd, but
holds that the insolvencv Ma.i not
proven and that the Finch company
.ilrl.rol.-, ,. .
CAUSK OK THE SHIT.
Tills is a, suit over the possession of
two engines, boilcts, connections nnd
pulleys that were levied upon .bv the
sheriff as the property of the Cham
berlain coal company nt the instance
of the Sterling company. The Finch
.Manufacturing company claimed the
property by purchase. The Chamber
lain company owed the Finch com
pany n book nceouiit of $10,000. The
Finch company offered to buy the ma
chlnery for Its real vnlue, $2,100. an 1
credit It on the $10,000 account The
Chamberlain company accepted the of
fer and later deliveied the goods to
the Finch company In Scinnton.
The Stcillng company opposed this
claim with the allegation that I. A.
Finch, being president, director and
stockholder, of both the Chamberlain
i.nd Finch companies the sale Mas Ir
regular, lie being aware, it was claim
id, that the Chamberlain company was
Insolvent and by reason of this knowl
edge took nn advantage that was pro
Judicial to the other i redltors.
In response to this Mr. Finch livened
that the Chambeilaln Coal company
was not insolvent nt the time of the
sale and further that he did not vote
on the s.il at the meeting of the
Chamberlah' company's stockholders.
The case was referred to James II.
Toriey. as teferee, and he found that
the coul company was not Insolvent
nt the date of the sale and thnt the
sale was not made In contemplation
of fiitut-'- Insolvency. On exception,
however, the local court teversed the
refie at this point, but adopted his
general finding In favor of the Finch
company that "while It was presump
tively a fraudulent preference, the pre
sumption is icbutted by the facts, that
the preference was In no wny secured
by solicitation or by the Intlueuce of
Finch.
I.OWi:i! COITK"," RKVintSED.
The supreme court now teverses Hip
local court's reversal of the referee.
Justice Dean holds that if the coal
company was Insolvent, as the local court
declnied, the sale could not have been
otherwise than void, as Finch, from
his prominence In the conl company,
presumably knew of Its insolvency,
and his refusul 1o vote on the sale
would not lebut the Infeience of fraud
ulent preference
In uceceptlng the referee's (hidings
as to the company's solvency at the
time ot the sale, Justice Dean says;
"At the date of. the tiansactlon tho
company had expended more than$3,"0,
000 In Improvements; had really paid
in advance, royalties to the amount
of S3,000; it had valuable leases, the
organization was new and from the
very beginning the coal trade had been
in such a state of depression that It
had conducted a losing business; It
had given nn option for the purchase
I of the entire plant nt the price of $4S7,
I .".00, which did not expire until Jnnu-
uty 1 following; u sale, at this ilgure,
would have paid all tho ill bts and sav
ed a very consldeiablo value to the
stock. Although hammered by debts.
It did not follow that the company
M-as insolvent. The referee bus found
as a fact, on sufllcient evidence, that
the company was not Insolvent at the
date of the snle ot this property, and
that the sale was not made In con
templation of Insolvency, it is not
apparent to us that tho finding is man
ifestly wrong. The fact sustains the
decree and It Is afllrmed."
Judge Archbald, upon receipt of tha
decision, made an order directing tho
sheriff to turn over to the Finch Manu
facturing company the $1,200.08 that
was derived from tin; sheriff's sale of
the machinery.

IN ARGUMENT COURT.
McDade-Sponcer Injunction Case
Was Up for a Hearing Deciee
of Divorce Granted in the

Arguments Meie heaid yesterday
by Judges Archbald and Fdwards in
the injunction suit of Dennis II. Mc
Dadi and others against A. L. Spen
cer in which the plaintiffs seek to en
ioln the defendant from mining coal
from tho put face veins underneuth
their propel ties. Tho defense de
murred to the form of the plaintiff's
bill alleging thnt each plulntUC should
proceed repaintely. Court reserved
Its decision.
In the case of W. H. Davltt against
Joseph II. Duggan, the exceptions of
the defendant to the llndlng of court
were overruled.
The demutrer In the injunction cuso
ol Citherlne Walsh against P. F. Mc

which to make answer.
Ily agreement the exceptions to the

V dritee In dlvoico was granted In
the rase of 1211a I. Winton against
Walter M. Winton.
In the ense of L. B. Thompson
against Josephine Mott. Judge Arch
bald handed down the following opin
ion and older: "To defeat the use of
the judgment held by the defendant,
as an offset to that of tho plaintiff,
Mr. Drown, the plaintiff's attorney,
pioiluces an assignment to himself,
bearing date of June 9, the day the
plaintiff received a verdict. This Mas
recorded at once and it taken In good
faith and for value, is ,i bar to the
present proceedings But upon this
point we need pi oof. On the face of
things an assignment by a party to
lils attorney la almost an assignment
to hlms-elf and affords fucli opportu
nity for collusion that It ought to bo
shown to be a straightforward trans
action by evidence. Without this we
are not inclined to allow It to defeat
such an offset cs is asked for hero.

HAD NO GRIEVANCES.
Joint Protective Board of the Broth
erhood of Firemen Concluded Its
Work in This City Yester
day Officers Chosen.
" e had no grievance to consider;
nothing to do In fact but elect ofll
cers," was the statement made last
night by F, J. May, chairman of the
Joint Protective Board of the Brother
hood of Firemen of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western system.
The board which was In annual ses
sion In this city concluded Its work
yesterday afternoon nnd adjourned.
The officers chosen vvete: F. J. May,
of Hallstead, chairman; Thomas Gib
bons, of Syracuse, N. Y vice chalr
manand W. O. Smith, of Elmira, sec
retary and treasurer. Others who at
tended the meeting were: A. J. Cog

Buffalo.
President .May has been chairman ot
the board for tn years and has always
been elected by acclamation. He has
never had any opposition. With refer
ence to the mcetlni; Mr. May said lust
night:
"Our constitution and by-laws re
quire that vie meet annually and the
meeting just ended was the regular,
annual event. At this meeting It Is
customary to consider any grievances
that may have cropped up. This year
everything Is harmonious; there are
no wrongs that requite righting.
"We take no little pride In tho man
agement of the Delawure, Lackawanna
and Western company, by wnom the
men ot our brothet hoods ore employ
ed. There lo a disposition to treat a
man fairly and If he has a grievance
he Is accorded a fair Hearing, some
thing ' short-sighted railroad men
think a bad thing to do. The harmony
and good feeling that exists between
the men nnd oillclals of the company
we nro employed by, shows that when
you respect a mun and treat him as a
man there Is small danger of having
much trouble with him. It Is tho dis
contented, Ill-treated mun that Is a
thorn in the side ot the employer.
"Besides showing a disposition to
treat men fairly the management of
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern company stands at the head of the
list In the matter of providing for the
safety of Its workmen. Ninety-eight
per cent, of the rolling stock of that
company is provided with automatic
couplers, as against un uverago of 33
per cent, used by other railroad com
panies." WISE AND OTHERWISE.

A Piano's Name.
It takes a fabulous amount of monev
and yeais ot cenbeless labor to make
a piano fame us. Tho ordinary piano
buyer never thinks of this Indisput
able fact, although the experienced
music seller knows nil about It. .ml
generally prefers to sell the piano
with u iccognlred name because it's
easier and there s otten more money
in It. I
At the Same Time j
there arc ineiltnrlous pianos, the '
names of which ure not widely I
known, simply because the builders I
cannot afford to expend the money '
necessary to make them famous.
Consequently he sells his Instalments i
to tho dialers for their Intrinsic
value und trusts to thilr merit to i
win famo for him by and by.
AM This Simply neans
that such pianos aio s-old for what
they nro actually worth and buvers
get full value for every dollar tliei
Invest In them. Wo have several
such pianos In stock, all of the latest
design and fully warranted. I'rkes
