Tho men on tho roof, for tunately, kept n position to the rear on the somewhat moro elevated roof of the easterly Hide of the building. The men on the ladders were struck by fly ing debris, but wore more scared than hurt. They and the men on tho rear 01 tho roof sought safer places ln stanter, but the Crystal men kept their position until they had subdued every bit of llro within roach. Great excitement prevailed on the roof when tho crash came. It was several minutes before It was fully re lieved by the assurance thut no one wns on the portion that fell. CONTROLLED THE FLAMES. This cavlng-ln of the Shopland build ing made it possible for tho firemen to get tho upper hand of the flann'3 and at 10 o'clock they wero practi cally under control. The suburban companies were gradually released and an hour later there was nothing to mnlnlng to do but to finish off tho vic tory. Nothing but praise was heard of tho daring, energetic work of thu firemen and the effective- manner in which it was directed by Chief Illckoy nnd his assistants. No paid department could have done better with tho means at hand. Tho police also old praiseworthy ser vice In handling the Immense throng that gathered from all parts of the city. Ropos wero stroteh"d at Wyom ing and Penn avenues and tho entire block was kept clear for the firemen. This work was directed by Lieutenant Davis. Tho loss on Mr. Ladwlg's stock Is estimated at from ,$25,000 to $30,000 and Is said to be fully Insured. Ills build ing and fixtures would run the losr up to ?10,.- more. Ho purchased the property from Meyer Goldsmith two years ago for $43,000. Tho building then was valued at $8,000 and additions and improvements were made which would enhance its value. J2.000. MR. WELCKER'S LOSS. Mr. Wolckor Ftated that his stock Is valued at about $3'i,0Q0. After a cur sory survey ho thought the damage would be in the neighborhood of $10, 000 or $12,01)0. Tho damage to tho building can be repaired for fl.EOQ. The fixtures were but slightly dam aged. Ho carried $'27,0000 insurance in the Roland, Klesel and Norman & Moore agencies. Mr. Welcker was In his store direct ing work in the millinery department when the flames wore discovered next door. They had no sooner reached thu street than the flames wero bursting out of the front of tho Four Cent store making it almost Impossible for one to go Into or come out of his store, so intense wis the heat. J. D. Williams & Rros. carried a stock valued at between $35,000 and $40,000. Fully one-third of it was to tally destroyed or so badly damaged thr.t It will not be saleable even at a sici illce. Fortunately for them, they recently rented the basement of the adjoining Henwood building and had most of their bicycles and much other valuable stock stored there. When the fire broke out they carried to this basement all the portable goods that was In the basement un der their own store, and as much as they had time for of the goods on the ground floor. The water followed to the Henwood basement and made them move some of the goods a second time, placing thm on elevations at tho fecund moving. The firm will be ready In tho morning to proceed with their wholesale business. Entrance to the basement is through the westerly door of tin Henwood building. COVERED BY INSURANCE. Williams & Bros.' loss is fully cov ered by insurance In companies repre sented by Phillips nnd Holmes, Henry Uolln. Jr.. H. S. Keller. Schlatter & Co., Paine & Son, and (.'. It. Smith. The three buildings east of the threo burned last night were destroyed by lire Sept. 15, 1&94, known as the Mat thews Bros." drug store fire and one of the costliest the city over experienced. George Archbnld, a member of the Liberty company of the North End, wus overcome by smoke during the latter part of tho night nnd wns taken to the Lackawanna hospital. He will be all tight In the morning the physi cians say. About 2 o'clock this morning flames began to dart from thu roof of the Williams building, but they weie ex tinguished without an effort. BIG BUILDING WAS AFIRE. Flames Did Much Damage in n Basement Storeroom. At n few minutes before 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, a disastrous llr.s broke out In the basement storeroom of D. I. Phillips' furniture store In tho board of trade building. It required nearly an hour's work on the part of the firemen to extinguish tho flames and In the ineantlmo $",000 worth of stock wns destroyed or badly damaged. At no time, however, was there any Imminent danger to tho building. The storeroom Is encased with brick tiling on ull sides and the flumes In conse quence were confined ns In a furnuce. Tho fact thut there wtia no entranco to the basement from the street han dicapped the flrempti to n large extent. What catiFed tho fire has not been explained. Mr. Phillips Is at a loss to understand its origin. Tho fiirnituro wus Insured In companies represented by D. J. Campbell, Phillips & IIolme, C. G. Boland nnd J. D. Evans.

Fell Into nn Area Way at the Board of Trade Fire. Detective John Moir had his arm painfully injured at tho Board of Trade building fire yesterday afternoon. Ho ran into Phillips' store from the rear, passing over a grating In doing so, and after a moment ran hurriedly and heedlessly out again. In the short in terim some one had removed the grat ing nnd he pitched violently into an areaway ten feet In depth. He struck on his right side, with his aim beneath him, and severely strained the ligaments at tho shoulder. This did not, however, restrain him from active ser-ico at tho fire last night.

Mnkes a Gcnernl Denial of All tho Facts That Havo Heretofore Been Set Forth in tho Case Answer Will Probably Be Demurred to by Mr. Murphy and Then the Mntter Will Como Up for Argument Be fore the Court. The nnswer of Frank J. Dlckert, sub stituted ns defendant In the plnco of Frederick L. Tempo by order of the court, made tho 3d day of April, 1899, was filed yesterday and Is in brief as follows: After ndmlttlng many of tho facts stated In the Information for quo war ranto, bo denies that he was appointed as a director of the Scranton poor dis trict for that part of the district com prising tho Eleventh, Twelfth, Nine teenth and Twentieth wards of the city of Scranton and avers that the old South ward of tho city of Scranton, as the respondent understands and be lieves the same, did not comprise tho said territory, viz., the Eleventh, Twelfth, Nineteenth nnd Twentieth wards. Tho respondent denies that Frederick L. Torppe assumed the duties of direc tor of the poor of Scranton poor dis trict without any legal rights thereto and In violation of tho net of assembly of the state of Pennsylvania, approved the nth day of April, 1SC2, and its sup plements, approved the 16th day of March, 1SCC, and In violation of other laws of the commonwealth of Pennsyl vania. Ho further avers that the term for which F. L. Torppe was appointed had not expired at the date of the alleged election to the said oflico of tho said John J. Murphy, as is suggested by tho relator, llo denies that there was anv vacancy existing in 'the office of poor director of tho South ward district at tho time of the said election, and further denies that there wns any vacancy existing which could or was filled by the said election. Tho respondent avers and maintains that the said John J. Murphy on the tntli day of February, 1S9S, at tho gen oral election held In tho city of Scran ton, wns not duly elected a director of tho Scranton poor district for tho South ward poor district. Finally the respondent avers that "on tho 21st day of March. 1S99, several months after tho resignation of tho office of director of the poor of the Scranton poor district of tho South ward of the former borough of Scran ton, of the said F. L. Torppe, that on the 21st day of March, 1S9'J, Hon. R. W. Archbnld, president judge of Lack awanna county, appointed your re spondent a poor director to fill the said vacancy for the unexpired time then existing, and since said date lias en joyed the said office and exorcised the duties appertaining to the same and at this time Is still In possession of tho said otrico, all of which matters and things I am ready to maintain and place myself as to disputed facts upon the country." This answer will In all probability be demurred to by Mr. Murphy, and after that the matter will come up for argu ment. The apparent object of the answer is to gain as much time as pos sible before the case can be finally dis posed of. INDUSTRIAL JOTTINGS. Tho following order, which speaks for itself, has fiuno into effect: April 20, H99. Hereafter orders for supplies, such us oil, waste, car irons, etc., will bo Issued to conductors only. No onlers for sup plies of any kind will be Issued to brake, men. All orders must bo culled for be tween tho hours of 8 n. in. and 5 p. in. (Slgnedl Gairctt Uog.irl, Superlniedciit. These orders must lie secured nt thn office adjoining tho paymaster's otlleo on the ground floor of the Delaware, Lack awanna and Western depot. The order has for Its intent a similar tesult as tho order lecently Issued from the coal de partment to tho mine foremen of tho col lerles ns stated in Tho Tribune suveral days ago. As In that Instance tho tiro, men become responsible for supplies, In the above order, tho conductors become responsible. James Hughes, for forty .seven years superintendent of the Delaware. Lacka wanna and Western company's boiler shop In this city, has rej-lgned and It Is said that his resignation was accepted. Ills successor has not been appointed us iut. Tho cause assigned by rumor for Mr. Hughes' resignation Is u misunder standing between him and Superintend ent Fltzglbbons. Yesterday moinlng twenty-five em ployes of tho machinery department of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western company, lu this city, wire laid off for an Indellnlto peiiod. If the work pieks up, as it Is expected It will shortly, they will be taken back. Meanwhile many of the employes of thn ear shops who wero laid off Wednesday havo gone fo Berwick to work In tho American Car Foundry company's shops there, and others tn Stroudsburg to find employment lu tho Wilkeb-liarro and Eastern Hullroad com pany's shops. Machinery of tho heavier sort Is being removed from tho shops of the Delaware.
