Calls Attention to the Experiment in tho Way of a Primary Election That Is to Bo Tried Tomorrow. Ho Says tho Committee nnd Chair man to Whom This Mattor Was Intrusted Have Completed tho Work The Voters Must Do tho Rest. Concerning the primary election to bo held tomorrow under the Crawford county system C. E. Chittenden, chair mun of the Republican city committee, has Issued the following' To the Republican voteis nf the city of Scranton: As tho chairman of the city com mittee selected by the last convention to Introduce and make tilnl of the Crawford county system, I fcol that 11 plain statement of the jio?nt con dition of affairs Is due to nil Republi cans. I desire, first, to announce that booths have been hired In everv dis trict; that in some districts vigilance committees have refused to hold the elections without pay. In these dis tricts tho boxes, ballots and booth keys have been sent to th residences of tho Judges', the list of wiiosu names und districts are printed plsewhen1. Should the voters of these dlsttiets de sire to be represented at this eU-etlun they can form a curbstone board. st.iI for the box and hold their election, and the return will be recognized. I desire to say, also, that In this organization there has been no Interference, co ercion or undue Influence bv nny so called machine or faction: .ill seem willing to give the now system a fair trial. In the instructions to vigilant a clause has been inserted, nllowlng one resident representative of each candidate to oversee tho count, thus Insuring by publicity an honest re turn. LIST OF CANDIDATES. The lift of candidates submitted em braces men who are amply iimllfled to fill their respective ofllces, and in sucli numbers that the taste and de sires of every voter may find repre sentation. It only remains for the voters to turn out in such numbers that the will of the party nuiv bo clearly expressed. Every precaution that experience can suggesit hue been taken to prevent fraud, eoeiclon or bribery. In urging tho Republican voters to attend this primary In force, 1 desire to call to their attention the fact that three years of Democratic rule is producing tho same result In Scranton that It Is accomplishing In the other towns and villages In the valley, debt and taxation arc Increas ing and the value of property is de creasing. This is tho annual meeting, mid the owners of real estate In Scranton should show the same Interest In Its management that they show In tho corporations In which they hold stock. Politics Is cold business thnt touches every worker, renter nnd property owner In the city. There are only two methods of selecting the managers of our municipal affairs, one by the dele gate svstem, In which silent and un seen Influences make the selection, and the other by the direct vote of the people. The tendency of one Is to be come more and more corrupt, nnd, as all boodle Is eventually paid by the taxpayer, to become more of a burden. The tendency of the other Is to become purer and better, as the people, edu cated bv mistakes, take pains to ac quire a more thorough knowledge of their public affairs and the characters of their candidates. HOURS OF THE PRIMARIES. The experiment of the Crawford county system will be tried on Satur day evening next from i to 8 o'clock. If the vote Is light and the results In different, n return t" the old delegate system is Inevitable. If the vote Is full and the candidates chosen the best offered, not only Is the success of tho system assured, but success at the poll? and a steady improvement In the politics and nubile affairs of the city Is certain. The committee and chairman, to whom this matter wns Intrusted, havo completed their work. It remains for tho Republican voters of the city of Scranton to do the rest. C. E. Chittenden, chairman. Chairman Chittenden deslies to call particular attention to tho fact that If the vigilance committee In any district falls to open tho polls, tho vo ters, after waiting tlfteen minutes may proceed to organize a board and con duct the election Independent of the designated officers. Itallot boxes, bal- .lots, and the necessary stationary have ueeii ur iu uc, utiure 1111s evening, forwarded to the return Judges in the various districts. Should it happen that tho vigilance committee fails to perform its duty, the substitute board selected by the voters can secure from the return Judge the box, ballots, etc. These re turn judges are: RETURN JUDGES.

George Pentley Enveloped by Flam ing Gn3 on tho Top of No. 3 Blast Furnace of the L. I. & S. Co. nt 2.30 This Morning. An explosion of gas In No. 3 Dies: furnace of the Lackawanna. Iron nnd t?teel company at 2.30 this morning ter ribly burned George Pentley and f-t fire to the woodwork uround the fur nace. Pentley is a young man and icsldes with his parents on Iieech street, be tween Cedar and Pittston nvenues. He was taken to the Moses Taylor hospi tal at 3 o'clock this morning. His con dition Is critical. Ills body was want ed from head to foot and he sustained many builses by being blown from the top of the furnace to the working floor beneath, a distance of upwards of twenty feet. He struck several ob structions on bis downward tllght. Pentley and Motz Home were em ployed on top of No. 3 furnace, but a moment before the explosion Home crossed over to No. 1 and escaped In jury. Pentley was engaged as a barrow man on the "roof" from which tho furnaces are fed. Ho was close to the opening when the explosion occurred and was enveloped In the gaseous flame and probably showered with the molten iron. With ills clothes ablaze and half crazed from pain he was seen to tumble to the floor below. Fellow workmen hnstened to his side and quickly extinguishing Ills burning clothes made him as comfortable as possible and carried him to the engine room to await the coming of tho Moses Taylor ambulance. The flames ignited the timbers on the roof and also a shelter house on the platform near tho mouth of the ex ploded vessel. At the time that the fire broko out all the central city fire companies with the exception of the Chemicals were at the Economy steam heating plant lire on Ash street. Tho Chemicals were of little avail and as a conseuenco tho llatnes made much headway. Word was telephoned to the Centurys and a second alarm brought other com panies and by attaching their several lengths of hoso together the firemen were enabled to give battle. At 3 o'clock this morning the flames were well under control. The accident is exactly similar to the one which occurred Tuesday night at one of the other of the furnaces. In that nccldent two men wero badly in jured. Pentley was the only one of the gang employed near the furnace which exploded Tuesday night, who escaped. He was working last night In another man's place. NEW OFFICERS INSTALLED. They Will Have Charge of Camp No. 175, P. O. S. of A.

Donahue, Krrantnn, I't ANOTHER FIRE AT DUNMORE CORNERS LOSS AMOUNTS TO TWENTY SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS. Fire Started in the Hotel of James A. Harrington and Spread to tho Odd Follows Hall Adjoining, Which Was Almost Entirely Destroyed. People in tho Hotel Escaped in Their Night Clothes-Many Socie ties Lost Thoir Books nud Para phernalia Losses in Detail. Dunmore was visited by another very destructive lire yesterday morning nnd as usual tho fire was In the vicinity of the corners. The total loss is nlwut $27,000 which Is about half covered by Insurance. The buildings destroyed were the three story frame hotel on Chestnut street a. short distance from East Drinker and the big brlcl: Odd FellowB building which adjoins it. Tho flro sturted In the hotel building and It was entirely destroyed. The Odd Fel lows building Is so badly damaged that It will have to be torn down to the first story. Chief O'Horn. of tho Dunmore Fire department, told a Tribune man yes terday that the Odd Fellows building could in all probability have been saved if tho water supply wns adequate and ot proper pressure. Tho fire was first seen by a party from Pittston who came to Dunmore on a sleigh ride and were about to return home. About the same time, Owen W. Rlcseker, bartender for .mines A. Har rington, tho proprietor of the hotel, who slept In a room on the third floor, was awakened by the noise made by tho flames. In an Instant he realized the danger of the situation and after rousing ills roommate, Thomas Mona glian, a boarder, and making sufllclent outcry to nrouso those sleeping on the Moor below, lie struggled Into some of i his clothes and fled from the building I to tuin In an alarm, first assuring him- self that th other Inmates of the building would be able to get out sare ! ly. He then rushed to the Neptune Chemical Engine house (he is a mem ber of the company), and assisted in getting the apparatus to the scene. ESCAPED IN NIGHT CLOTHES. Mr. Harrington, his wife, their two children, age 4 years and 7 months re spectively, nnd a relative named Mary O'Brien from West Scranton, who wan spending u few days with them, slept on tho second floor and were awakened by Rlescckor's shouts. They found the rooms tilled with smoke and flames cracking about them In a most unpleas ant way. They had Just time to reach the sidewalk in safety. Mr. Harrington said that no cooncr had he gained the street than It seemed as If flames shot from every part of the building. A general alarm had been turned in end the Neptune, Indepen dent, John P. Smith, Electrics and A. D. Spencer lire companies responded. There was same little delay In getting the tire hydrants thawed and when the hose was finally attached W the hy drants of the vicinity It was found that the four streams made such n demand on tho main that the pressure was reduced to a very low ebb. Water could not be thrown as high as the sec ond story of the Odd Fellows' building. The Dunmore department does not pos sess an engine that could be used In securing nrtlticlul pressure. ADJOINING PROPERTY SAVED. With the serious handicap under which tho department worked the. fire men did well to save the adjoining property. W. J. Costello's frame building Just cast ot tho Harrington hotel, was somewhat scorched but aside from that the flro did no dam age save to the hotel and the Odd Fel lows' building, It wns nearly 7 o'clock yesterday morning when the fire was fully under control and until after 10 o'clock tho companies continued to deluge the fu Ins with Water. John Helsner, a member of tho In dependent hose company, In crawling down an ice covered fire escape on the odd Fellow-' building, felt a distance of twenty feet, nnd painfully injured one of his legs. Tho hotel occupied by Mr. Harring ton is owned by M. J. Norton, of this city. It had twenty rooms, was built seven years ago, and Mr. Norton es timated its value at $6,000. It was in sured for less than that amount. The hotel will be rebuilt at once. Mr. Nor ton had men at work yesterday cut ting lumber for a temporary building which Mr. Harrington wilt occupy un til tho hotel is robuilt. Mr. Harring ton's loss is $3,000, half covered by in surance. The Odd Fellowe' building was erect ed about ten years ago by the mem bers of that order. It is of brick, three feet deep. Tho building was valued at stories in height, G2 feet wide and CO $15,000 nnd was Insured for $8,000. OCCUPANTS OF BUILDING. The first floor of tho building was occupied by the post ofllce nnd candy store of Thomas Jones. Postmaster Bishop sustained a loss of $S0 and Mr. Jones one of $300. The latter is cov ered by Insurance. The post office has temporary quarters in the Daly build ing on East Drinker street. The second floor was a public hall and on the third floor a hall occupied by various societies. Tho Redmen sustained a loss of $500, on which there is no Insurance and tho Junior Order of United American Mechanics' loss is $300, fully protected by insurance. Tho following organizations lost their par aphernalia and booktf: Heptasophs. Ladles Auxiliary of Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, Daughters of America, Golden Eagle, Ladies of the Golden Eagle and Patriotic Order Sons of America. The loss of their books is a very serious matter to some of these organizations. The Odd Fellows' building will bo re built as booh n possible, and In the meantime that organization will meet In Boyle's hall. When tho fire started it melted many of tho electric light, telephone and tel egraph wires, and to protect the fire men It was found necessary to shut oft the electric current. Lino men were busy yesterday repairing tho broken lines. It is fortunate that thero was no wind yesterday morning, other- A tiooil Scl or Tcclli lor... $3.00 Our Best Sets or Tcclh 5.00 Including tilt Calmest lUtraetlon. DR.S. C.SNYDER Jii Spruco Strett, Opp. Hotsl Jermyn. wlte the loss might have been much greater. CAUSE OP THE FIRE. It Is supposed the flro sturted from on over-heated furnatu pipe, but thero Is no direct evidence to substantiate that theory. Mr. Harrington is unnble to account for the fire In nny way. It evidently started In tho rear of the building on the first floor. Teslerday the street in front of the building whs roped off, to prevent pos sible Injury to uny pereon by fulling walls. POOR BOARD ORGANIZATION. Not Certain That It Will Bo Accom plished Tonight. An adjourned meeting of tho board of poor directors will bo held this even ing. While the purpose Is organization, it is not certain that this will be ac complished. The board should have organized tit the meeting laot week, but adjourned until this evening on the strength of a statement that tho successor to P. L. Terppe, resigned, would meanwhile bo appointed by the court. Tho appoint ment has not been made. Whether this fact will cause another adjourn ment of the board is not known. NORTH SCRANTON FIRE. Archbald Building on West Market Street Was Almost Entirely Destroyed Cause of tho Fire Is Unknown. Shortly before C o'clock yesterday morning fire nas discovered in Arch bald's hall, on West Market street. An alarm was turned In from Box li, located nt Providence square. All the flro companies of the district responded. By the time the fire companies) ar rived tlie flames were bursting out of the front and rides of the building, nnd it looked ns i the whole block would be destroyed. The only thing which prevented the flames from spreading to the oilier bulldln?3 was tho absence of wind. After a hard struggle the lire was under control at 6.30 o'clock. How the lire started is unknown, but it started on the lower floor in tho side occupied by Thomna Fldler's saloon, nnd is supposed to have originated from the furnace. The other side of tho llrst floor was occupied by Butcher Dlnklestcln, whose loss was total. Mr. Fldler carried a small Insurance on his goods. Mr. Archbald carried but little Insur ance and his loss will be In the nelgh lorhood of $8,000. The building was gutted nnd the stocks of the tenants totally destroyed. The firemen did their utmost, but owing to frozen plugs their efforts were los3 effective than they would have been otherwise. At 4.30 o'clock yesterday afternoon Patrolman Watklns discovered flames arising from the ruins and another alarm was turned in. The responding companies soon flooded the building and quenched every spark. Notice.
