FIRE IN HOTEL JERMYN.
Guests Calmly Dlnod While tho
Basemont Burned.
.Scranton Is very much twentieth cen
tury. In days of yore nothing, scarcely,
caused a greater commotion! than a
house nflre. Nowadays, with our fire
proof buildings and scientific lire light
ing apparatus, a house afire Is u matter
of very small moment.
Yesterday afternoon at n.iiO o'clock
flames were discovered In the basement
of Hotel Jormyn. They burned fiercely
and were not totully subdued for nearly
nn hour. At (' o'clock the dining room
was opened and tho guests sat down to
their meal totally unconcerned about
the blaze in the basement, nlthough tho
Mnoko that curled up paRt tho windows
and made Itsrlf known through tho
olfactary senso throughout tho cor
ridors must have apprised every one
within of tho fact that tho house was
afire. A little thing like that, thouvli,
didn't Interfere with their appetites.
The lire was In a pile of boxes and
timber stored In tho basement nt the
northwest corner of tho building. There
was no great danger at any time of tho
flames eomniunlrntlng to the building
but there was fear that the electric
wlies thereabouts would be melted und
some of tho clrcuitn thereby cut off.
The Phoenix Chemical company
which was summoned by telephone pre
vented this and the damago In conse
quence was confined to the value of the
wood that was consumed.

fusal to Do Campaign Work Was
Thought to Bo Illegal by Common
Councilmon and Killed Mr. Chit

Common council last night iudelinltc
ly postponed action on Selectman Mc
Andicws' resolution penalizing pollco
ofllccrs who mako themselves too pro
minent In election and protecting ofll
cers from dismissal for political rea
sons. Tho action wai taken on a motion by
Mr. Walker. He held that tho gov
ernment of tho pollco force Is regu
lated by an ordinance and as nn or
dinance cannot bo revoked or amended
by resolution, thu McAndrew measure
wns out of order.
Mr. Culpln held that the resolution
should not bo construed to be a re
vocation or amendment of the police
ordinance, but if the chair deemed It
such, the chair should refute to en
tertain It. Chnlnnan Molr declined to
take upon himself the responsibility of
disposing of the measure. Mr. Juckson
held view h similar to Mr. Walker's
nnd Mr. Sheridan said it was plain on
the face of it that tho resolution wast
Illegal and should lie declared such by
tho chair.
MOTION CARRIED.
The chair, however, preferred to have
council give it tno knife rather than
do tho deed himself und accordingly
put the matter before the council in
Mr. Walker's motion to Indeilnltely
postpone. The motion carried by a
vivo voce vote, few voices being raised
in its bchaJlf.

way of Nealls court.
Tho bill of Charles T. llolloway for
J1.200 for the Columbia company's new
chemical engine, approved by common
council nt its last meeting after much
debate und trouble, did not pass the
select branch without some difllculty.
Mr. Melvin supported tho question
previously raised In tho common branch
that the Holloway bid was wrongfully
accepted and that tho apparatus fur
nished was not in nil particulars ac
cording to speclllcations. After somo
little debate, Mr. Melvln's motion to
refer was lost nnd common council's
approvnl of the bill was concurred in.

McCann an inspector of tho lateral
sower on Stlpp court, between Mulberry

JOYCE JURY FINDS
IT HARD TO AGREE
CITY IS THE DEFENDANT IN
THE ACTION.
Son-ln-Lnw of Ono of tho Attornoys
for tho Dofondnnt Was on tho Jury
and nt the Suggestion of tho City
Solicitor Ho Was Withdrawn.
That Did Not Help tho Jurors Out
of tho Embarrassing Fosition in
Which Thoy Aro Lodged.
There is a deadlock at the court
house. The Jury in tho case of Honora
Joyce against tho city of Scranton for
alleged damages to her property on
Ninth street, resulting from tho build
ing of the Itoblnson street retaining
wall, were still out at adjourning tltno
yesterday, after having been in delib
eration since 11.30 o'clock Wednesday
morning. It was reported about the
court house that the vote stood eleven
to one in fnvor of tho plaintiff.
During the morning City Solicitor
McOlnley learned that one of tho jur
ors, U. D. Caryl, Is a son-in-law of I. II.
Burns, who, with Attorney C. Comegys,
represents the plalntltf. Judgo Arch
bald's attention was called to the mat
ter, nnd after some suggestion It was
agreed, on the suggestion of Mr. Burns,
that the objectionable Juror bo with-,
drawn and the case allowed to proceed'
with eleven Jurors. Mr. Caryl was
withdrawn, but It was evident that he
was not thM obitlnato Juror, an th
deadlock continued.
Tho fcult ot John S. Luco und the
Scranton Knitting company against ex
Sherlft John J. Fnhey was called for
trial before Judge Yerkos in court room
No. J yesterday morning.
CAUSE OF ACTION.
In 1S91 the knitting company was lo
cated In the Howley building, at tho
corner of Penn avenue and Mulberry
street. The company when moving out
attempted to take with It a stationary
engine and boiler to which John J.
Howley laid claim. Tho matter was
tested before a jury and the vol diet
wns for tho knitting company, dam
ages being awurded In the sum ot $o3.S3.
When the engine was replevlned by
Mr. Howley he gave a $100 indemnity
bond to protect Mr. Faliey, who wan
then Bherlft and who served the writ
of replevin. Tho knitting company
mndo a demand upon tho sheriff for tho
indemnifying bond, alleging that the
verdict carried with it the value of
the property In addition to tho I33.S3
damages. Mr. Howley gave notice to
tho sheriff not to surrender the bond,
alleging that he had offered the ma
chinery to the company, but that it
was refused. The sheriff refused to
give over tho bond nnd suit was
brought to compel him.
When the plaintiff's case had been
presented yesterday, E. C. Newcomb,
attorney for the defense, moved for a
non-suit on the ground that ho was
in no wise liable, having performed his
duty regularly. Judgo Yerkes granted
the motion and the suit was continued
with Mr. Howley ns defendant. The
case was given to the Jury at adjourn
ing time.

John A. Mears for a balance of $239.81,

rell, falling to show up when tho case
was resumed yesterday morning. Tho

time.

tion, the Jury In tho case of Catherine
Blttenbender against William Koch,
returned a verdict for the defendant.
This Is the suit in which Mr. Koch con
tested payment of a note on which ho
was surety, on the ground that the
plaintiff had failed In an agreement
to keep it alive ngalnst the principals.
