JOHN COURIER MORRIS
ADDRESS TO THE .
REPUBLICAN VOTERS
ISSUED BY CITY CHAIRMAN
C. E. CHITTENDEN.
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:

WAS TERRIBLY BURNED.
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.

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-

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

the first floor.

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.
