FIRST BAIYTIBT CONGREGATION
SUFFER A SEVERE LOSS.
Their House of Worship on Scrnuton
Stieet, Together with Nearly All
Its Contents, Is u Pioy to the
FlameB Loss About $11,000, on
Which Tliore Was $0,000 Insur
ance Church Was Empty When
the Fire Broko Out Narrow Es
cape of Fire-Fighters.
File jestetday ilostiojed the pletty
and rommndluus house of worshli) ot
the First Baptist church, on Scranton
Mtreet. The loss was a total one, noun
of the content's excepting the pulpit
Bible and two chalis being sued fiom
the flnmus.
The ihuicli was empty when the Urn
btoko out. Sunday school was dis
missed nt 3.43 and about twenty min
utes later the sexton, William Jones,
locked the doors and left for Ills homo.
The pastor, Bev. S. Frank Matthews,
and the Sunday school pupeilntendeiit
Dr. B. G. Beddoc, left the church with
tho sexton. Bev. Mr. Matthews had
Just 1 cached his home at 20S Noith
Hyde Park avenue, tlneo blocks away,
w hen the alarm sounded
The fire was dlscoveied b some pass
crsby. They say that smoke was Issu
ing fiom the loot and at the eaves all
along the fiunt of the building when
they (list saw It, the densest volume
being noticed nt the northeast corner
of the building, where tho chlmnov
emerges. An alarm was sounded from
Box 33, corner of Main avenue and
Jackson stieet, and later a second
alarm brought the Hook and Laddet
company, tho Crystals and Nay Augs,
but the woik of the firemen was un
nvnllng, so gieat a headway had been
gained by the flnmes and so Hipldly
did the wooden structure burn.
SPItEAD RAPIDLY.
It appears the fire either started at
the loot or ate Its way thither Immedi
ately after bieaklng out nnd then
spiead lapldly along the shallow attic,
which separated the celling ot tho audl
toilum from the roof. Though the two
West Side companies made a ery
quick response, the stiuctuie was
doomed befote they arrived. The attic
was one mass of seething llamos from
end to end, as n shown by tho glare
through the Ils-sures in the plastered
celling, and as was Indicated bv the
tongues of fire which thrust themselves,
forth ftom eeiy point along the eaves
llnlf an hour after the tire was under
way the roof caed in nnd then the
whole stiuctuie became prey to the
flnmes The fiont and side walls, and
the lower portion ot the stceile nnd
turiet, were left standing, but bo badly
were they damaged that they will
scarcely Co for lliewood when they are
toi n dow n.
The adjoining buildings escaped
without damage. Supeilntendent of
Schools George Unwell, whoso resi
dence was separated fiom the church
edifice by onlv about ten feet, sustain
ed a slight loss by reason of his cel
lar being Hooded, but aside from tills
the neighbors were none the worse for
the file.
LOSS TO TIUJ CIILBCU
Tho lors to the church Is about $11,
000, about $G,UG0 of which will be home
by Insurance companies represented In
the Phillips & Holmes' nsency. Tho
los on the building was between $$,000
and $9,000, and the contents would rep
lesent about .3,000. Two cabinet or
gans and a new piano, a silver com
munion set, a full set of dishes, table
wnre, range and kitchen utensils owned
by tho Ladles' Aid society and stored
In the basement were some of the ar
ticles which foot up this latter loss.
Les3 than a year ago a part of the
basement was set apait for a library
and fitted up with furnltuie nnd books
ut a large expense. All that was saved
fiom litre weie the books that are in
ch dilation. The appurtenances of an
industilal school, conducted by tho
Ladles' Aid society were also In the
basement and itie a total loss. Anoth
er Item which figures In the los Is
the fiesco work rscently done on tho
celling nt a cost of 1373.
A number of the oinceis of the
chinch and membets of the fire de
paitment had nn exciting experience
and a nnirow escape from heiious in
jury or possible death when the root

CORNELIUS SMITH
MERITS NO LENIENCY
SO DECLARES JUDGE PURDY IN
DISMISSING HIS PETITION.
The Piosident Judge of Way no
County, Who Was tho Choice of
Mr. Smith Himself as Arbiter in
His Proceedings for Reinstate
ment, Not Only Rofuoed His Ap
plication for Readmlsslon but Also
Declines to Accopt a Suggestion to
Givo Him Anotlior Chance.
Cornelius Smith Is not to be lead-
!(. I ir lli. T .rlrttn tt tll llflf- III (I
lengthv onlnion. Hied Saturday. PiobI-f
dent Judge George M. Purdy, of Wayne
county, it-fuses Mr. Smith's petition for
reinstatement, holding that the peti
tioner ha not compiled with the stipu
lations of the Supreme couit, which
conditionally limited his disbarment.
The condition was that nt the end of
two years fiom June 11, 1S9C the date
of disbarment If the petitioner on
pioper application asks for reinstate
ment, the court below should giant It;
providing, In the meantime, nothing
further appenred against his private
or professional chaiactcr than was ap
liai ent from the lecoid before the Su
preme court.
At tho expiration of the two yeais,
Mr. Smith made foimnl application for
reinstatement, nnd a rule was granted
to tOtow cause why the petition should
not be allowed. Mr. Smith asked that
tho hearing might be had before some
Judge of nn adjoining county and his
icrjuest wns grnntcd, thu local court
cottlfjlng the case to Picsldent Judge
Stanley J. AVoodward, of Luzerne.
Judge Woodvvaul declined to tako tho
matter In hand, saving that, to his
mind, It was a case which only the
Lackawanna Judges, themselves, could
propci ly dispose of.
JPDQE PURDY SUGGESTED.
The local judges might have had a
loaning towaids that tame opinion, but
that tho petitioner might have no cause
for complaint, they adopted his sug
gestion tha Judge Puidy be sought to
dispose of the case. Judge Purdy
agreed, and the mutter was heard be
fore him In December last.
Mr. Smith was charged at this hear
ing, by a committee icpresentlng the
Lackawanna bar, with having con
tinued in tho very misconduct which
brought about his disbarment. In sup
pott of their charge the committee pre
yented articles, abusive of the court,
contained in a Sunday paper, which
Mr. Smith was accused of wilting, und
tho authnishlp of which he would
neither admit nor deny; tho files In the
suit asninst the Lehigh Valley com
pany and otheis, In which the charges
of corruption and dishonesty against
the Judges weie reiterated In a most
vhulent manner; his paper book be
fore tho Supremo court, which was
oven inoie scurrilous, and a paper
labeled "Argument," signed by John G.
Jennings', which was shoved through
the door of Judge Gunster's chambers
In August last.
This paper wns eiulte as1 abusive as
any of the others. It was written, as
Judge Purdy says, by someone posess
Ing a knowledge of ancient and myth
ological history, and a familiarity with
legal forms, which would scarcely be
expected In a layman. Mr. Smith, who
Is Jennings' attorney, was held to be
the author of the paper. If he wasn't,
he was at least cognizant of Its prep
uintlon, It Is only reasonable to assume,
und did nothing to estop its presen
tation. ItEFLSED TO ANSWER.
llo was chnrged with Its authorship
and although he could have cleared
himself of the charge by one word lie
1 etustd to make answer ono way or the
other and advised Jennings also to re-
fu'-o to disclose the Identity of the au
thor. Of this Judge Purdy says:
"Wore this 11 criminal prosecution ho
could not be compelled to give evi
dence ngalnst himself, nor would his
fallute or refusal so to do, create any
legal presumption against him. Put
the rute cannot be invoked in his cnie;
It Is not a prosecution, but an investi
gation to ascertain whether h's con
duct since disbarment has been such
us to entitle him to reinstatement."
After discussing conditions under
which the misconduct of nn attorney
may be excused Judge Purdv conclud
ed: When nn altoi nej coolly and clollbcr
atoly flames nnd pens or ulds and assists
In the preparation of, or without his pro
test, permits his client to piestnt to tho
couit such a paper us tho one In ques

of Mr. Smith's petition, suggested. In
chailty, that the petitioner should bi
permitted to renew his application af
ter another itasonablo term of proba

clines to udopt, saying that the full
limit of clemency justified by the cir
cumstances was reached when the pe
tition was given by the supreme court
an opportunity to reinstate himself.
The opinion in the case concludes
with a formal older refusing the ap
plication for lelnstatement ami dis

La Grippe Successfully Treated.
"I have Just recovered fiom the sec
ond attack of la grippe this year,"
says Mr. James A. Jones, publisher
of the Lender, Jl-.xla, Texas. "In the
latter ccse I used Cbamberla n's Cough
Remedy and I think with considerable
success, only blng In bed a little over
two days against two days for the
former attack. The second attack I
am satisfied would have been eaually
as bad as the first but for the uso of
this remedy as I had to go to bed In
about six hours after being 'struck'
with it, while In thcflrst case I was able
to attend to business about two davs
before getting down.' " For sale by
