The Phcenix Fire Extinguisher.
An exhibition of the clllcleney of a
new and novel Hie extinguisher was
given In the rear of the city hall Thurs
day last, I'nlllce the ordinary extin
guisher, which comes in liquid form,
he "Phoenix" is a powder, which when
'hrown toward a blaze, Is attracted by
he heat, which draws the partkb'S
if powder as they lloat through tho
air and Immediately extinguishes every
lilt of lire. The test in this city Thurs
day was a complete success.
A strong point In fuvor of tho
"hoenlx extinguisher Is Its simplicity,
is It has no mechanism and can be
jsed with as much effect In the hands
)f a child as an adult.
The Agents Supply company, whose
Scranton office Is In tho Arcade aie
the agents, and their local manager,
Mr. Hlmrell, will be pleased to show
he Phoenix extinguisher to all who
ire Interested.

POOR BOARD HAS
A SNAP ELECTION
MR. LANGSTAFF WAS NAMED
FOR THE PRESIDENCY.
Dr. Paine and Mr. Shotton Protested
Against Taking Up tho Matter of
Reorganization, but Their Protests
Were Uuhoedod Thoy Then Tried
to Bronk n Quorum to Provont an
Election Mr. Shotton Lost Time
in Trying to Make an Exit Through
a Locked Door.
The poor board partly leorgaitlzod
yesterday, but there Is a question as
to whether or not the proceedings will
stand, ,
A regular meeting was scheduled for
yesterday afternoon at 'i o'clock. At
that hour the only members picsent
were Messrs. Fuller, I.angstaff ami
Murphy. Mr. Brooks left, the previous
day for Florida. Dr. Paine was busy
and Mr. Shotton was not feeling well.
Mr. Shotton was prevailed upon by
telephone messages to come to the
meeting and arrived at 2.45 o'clock. Dr.
I'ulne bad come In a few minutes be
fore him. This made live membeia
present, or one more than a quorum.
When Mr. Fuller, the temporary
chalrmnn, called the meeting to order
Mr. 1-angstaff at once moved to go
into permanent organization.
Dr. Paine meekly protested saying:
"1 hardly think It Is the right thing
to do at this lime, with one member
sick and out of town (referring to Mr.
l'rooks'. nnd the board besides being
one short."
"That doesn't make any particular
difference," Mr. I.angstaff said. "We
have been trying to organize since the
llrst Monday In January and shouldn't
put It off any longer. There Is no tell
ing when we will have a full board."
Mr. Shotton said: "Why didn't you
move to effect permanent oiganlzatlon
at the last meeting, which was called
specially for that purpose?"
NO T1MK FOR DISCUSSION'.
"Is the motion seconded'" bioke In
Chairman Fuller.
"I second the motion," said Mr. Mur
lh. The motion was put and was favored
by Messrs. I.angstaff and Murphy.
Messrs. Paine nnd Shotton did not
vote.
Mr. Murphy nominated Mr. Langstaft
for the presidency and Mr. I.angstaff
seconded the motion.
Mr. Shotton hurried across to Dr.
Palne's desk and whispered something
to him.
Then ensued a lively race, Messrs.
Paine and Shotton trying to get out of
the room to "break a quorum before the
election could be held, and Chairman
Fuller and the other two members
hustling through the election as fast
as their tongues could wag.'
I.angstaff won. Dr. Pune succeeded
In getting out hcfoie the vote was tak
en, but Mr. Shotton was still on the
threshold when Chairman Fuller was
declining Mr. Langstaff to be the duly
elected president of the board.
It was all duo to a locked door. The
upper side door, through which the
applicants for relief nre ushered In and
near which Superintendent George W.
Hoeir.er was seated, had been quietly
locked. Mr. Shotton's coat, hal and
overshoes were on or near the rack
standing alongside this door. In bis
anxiety to make a hasty exit he natur
ally turned to the nearest door when
he had grabbed his belongings. He
found It locked, and instead of desert
ing It and hastening to the next door
he stopped to fumble with the key In a
futile elfort to unlock II.
DOOR DHFIKD HIS KFIMUTS.
Too late, he saw that the combina
tion was beyond his ken. He made a
da. 1 for the far door at the end of the
room, but before he could get outside
the vote had been taken. He was
probably beyond the threshold and out
side the 100111 when the election 'was
consummated by the chair declaring
the result.
As Mr. Shotton was wicslllng with
the locked door Mr. Murphy tauntingly
remaikecl: "Ypu. can get out throug-
this other door, Mr. Shotton," .Mr.
Shotton was too busy Just then to an
swer him.
In their haste to conclude the elec
tion while there were yet four member.-;
within the room, the I.angstaff
men were not lellglously observant of
all the little niceties that parliamentar
ians attach to such procoedures.
This is how they did it, wold for
word:
Chairman Fuller ".Move the nomin
ations close."
Mr. Murphy "I mow Mr. I.angstaff
is elected president by acclamation."
Mr. Langstalf "Second the motion."
Chairman Fuller "All In favor ."
Messrs. I.augstalf and Murphy
"Aye."
Chalrmnn Fuller "Those opposed."
No response.
Chairman Fuller declared Mr. I.ung
staft duly elected.
Nothing further could be deii'. Tho
election of a secretary and tieasurer
went over until the next meeting, which
will be culled by the chair early next
week.
There were twenty-four applicants
for relief waiting to be heard. Secre
tary Langstafr was Instructed to lake
their names and addresses ami notify
tho directors In whose districts they
reside to attend to them.

BURMEISTER-THIELE CONCERT
An audlcnco not over Ioiko but dis
criminating attended tho Uurmelstcr.
Thlcie concert at tho Hlcycle club last
evening and enjoyed the beautiful pro
gramme given by one of tho llncst pianists
lu the country, Itlchard itmnu-iHlcr, of
the ikiuirwenka Conservatory of Music,
assisted by .Mr. and Mrs. Kmest 1'hnie
und Miss Jennie Hiichwald, of this city.
Mrs. Thlelo sang most pleasingly several
numbers, tho Itosslnl Aria giving oppor
tunity for the colonituro work of winch
die, Is so capable. Two little songs and
tho encore, "Mlgnon," wcro received with
much applause. 8ho was accompanied
with oxccilont tnFto and fidelity by Miss
Jennie Huehwnld.
Mr. Uurmelstor gavo a delightful expo
sition of his vast versatility in a pro
gramme of great tnnge. Ills marvelous
technique was a definite charm from be
ginning to end, but beyond all was a cer
tain poetto grace that swept like a fairy
veil over the virility of his touch and
lent to It a lure vibrant music. There Is
an absence of ilamc-llkc emotion which
characterizes the work of somo pianists,
hut In Us stead Is a tender and delicious
sense of rapture.
Mr. Thlcie played a vloln solo, by Wle
nawskl, and accompanied Mr. llurmelster
In the (Jrleg Sonata with which tho pro
gramme) opened. The Andante movement
was especially well rendered.
I.lszt "Carnival" gave full scope for
his originality nnd power. There were
those In the audience who would have de
sired to hear him In the famous I.lzst
Sonata In IJ minor which Is said to be his
strongest number and only rarely heard,
but after the Mirloel selections of Inst
evening nothing more Intrlcnte or power
ful could be demanded. Ills beautiful
arpeggios In the Mendelssohn song weio
specially noted.
In no number was his artistic work
moio evident than In tho Chopin Noc
turne, where tho cadenzas were rendered
with such exquisite shading and tho piano
passaegs held such rced-lko softness.
The 'Wedding Procession," by (3ileg.
was delightfully played, the descriptive
beauty of the ripping march being most
picturesquely pen tra t d.
Tho Parsifal number was perhaps the
least satisfactory as the ptately march
cannot be well Interpreted by tho piano.
The Ballade was, however, very pleas
ing. SCRANTON STREET FIRE
Blaze Was Discovered Twice Yester
day in the House of S. D.
Martino Theory as to
the Probable Cause.
Two alarms of lire went sounded
from box 41, corner of Scranton nnd
Seventh streets yesterday, and In each
Instance tho Ilanics were discovered in
the same house. Between 10 and 11
o'clock lire broke out in the dwelling
apartments at !US Scranton street, oc
cupied by the family of S. D. Martino,
adjoining the general store at No. 011,
but were quickly extinguished by the
Columbia Hose and Chemical company.
The Homes were started in a corner
of the sitting room on the main floor.
A book-rack, containing papers and
music, became ignited and the blaze
scorched tho casings and charred the
wall. There was no one In the house
but an elderly woman and a couple
small children.
Mrs. Martlr.o is a patient at one of
tho hospitals, wheie she recently un
derwent an operation, and her hus- I
band was away from the store on
lmulfi.jci I
The second alarm was sounded be
tween " and .! o'clock, and llames won
discovered in a mattress on one of the
beds on the second lloor. There was
no stove In the loom and nothing to In
dicate the oilglu of the (lie. The
house Is heated by a furnace, but there
wa no connection in that direction In
either of the rooms where the Hies
were discovered.
The tlremeii threw the mill tress out
Into the street before any damage was
clone. The mattress was Idled with
shavings and easily ignited. The sup
position is that the children wore play
ing with mutches.
The house Is a three-story frame
building, recently elected, and Is owned
by Martino. Thetc Is SU.f.OO Insurance
on the building In companies repre
sented by C. !. liolnud.
District Chief .Michael MeMamts
made an investigation of the premises,
and Mr. Bolnnd was also on the scene
yesterday afternoon making inquiries.
Martino claims to know nothing about
the origin of the Ilres, but thinks some
one Is trying lo Injure him. lie suf
fered considerable loss nt the West
Lackawanna avenue fire a week ago,
having been Interested In som of the
propel ty binned.
An Investigation will probably lu
made by the lire department.
