J. Tiank Richards Had an Exciting Experience on Lake Erie. J. Prank Richards, who returned yesterday from a vacation trip nround the great lakes, hod an experience Tuesday on Lake Erie which he will remember. Ha was on tho Northland about flvo hours out -from Buffalo when a tiro broke out on the upper deck of that fine steamship. Some planki lylnR adjacent to tho smoke stack smoldered for a time and then ignited. A stlfT breeze was blowing, which fanned the Hamcs Into a lively blaze. There were 400 passengers on board and no other ship In sight. Mr. Hlchaids speaks In the highest termi of tho discipline exhibited by the ofTlccrs and ciew. The moment thu alarm was sounded every man took "his appointed place, water and chemi cals were turned on tho lire and steps taken to calm the excitement nmontr the passengers. It would exaggerate to say there was a panic on board but many women became hysterical and somo of tho men passengers behaved excitedly. It took an hour's steady work to put tho lire out. and not for two hours afterward did another boat come In view. As It was the North land landed her human cargo In Buf falo in safety several houis behind the schedule time of arrival, but the ship herself was badly water-soaked and the last few hours of the voyage were not characterized by an excess of hi larity.

RAISED THE RATES ON SCRANTON & SON X- AND SUCCEEDED M'ASKIE AS UNDERWRITERS' SECRETARY. John M. Hughes Did Theso Things and Then Was Rash Enough to Express an Opinion That Did Not Concur with the Pool Views of tho Republican In a Matter In Which He Above All Men Was Compotent to Pass Judgmout Somo Recent and Ancient History. -1 Here's some recent hlstoiy. Monday's Republican contained a fool proposition to reduce the com panies of the fire department from sixteen to seven, leaving only one com pany to tho South Side, one to the West Side and two companies to Provi dence, Green Ridge, Pnrk Place and Pine Brook, besides a number of othr things equally ridiculous. The Idea vas credited to flctllkus persons who have given up hope of reorganizing the fire department as a volunteer oiganlzatlon nnd who would transform It Into n paid department with the above scheme as part of tho means thereto. The Tribune knowing full well that the article was wholly and solely n bit of thoughtless, groundless space-filling, originating from the same vacuous source that has supplied column after column of similar rot and nonsense, took It upon Itself, ns a matter of public duty, to show tho utter shallow ness of the proposition and did so In a dignified and Irrefutable way. To show, further, what the Insurance people thought of tho Republican's proposition a number of them were in terviewed on the matter and with one accord they characterized it ns asinine. One of the number, John M. Hughes, secretary of tho Boaid of Underwriters, was quoted on tho subject, ns belli? the one most lltted to expiess the crjs tallzed sentiment of the men of that business. Yesterday's Republican contained n personal attack on Mr. Hughes. The only excuse for It was that he had expressed an opinion that did not con cur with the views contained in the Republican's fool aitlcle. He was solicited for the opinion and only gave it after it was pointed out to him that the matter In question was of vital public Importance nnd that he, because of his ofllce, was particu larly competent to pass Judgment on It. SOME FCW EAR MARKS. The article was $o bisolv mpat., ut terly inev.cusajl" and contemptibly scurrilous that It can not be repeated In full For the benefit of those who did not icad tho article, it is necessary for the purposes of this article to say that it alleged, among many other things, that he came by his position through accident nnd that he Is au tocratic and officious In his dealings with persons hav Ing business w 1th the association. To be sine these things weren't aid in this mild nianiur. It was very apparent that the mild expiession of opinion that camo fiom Mr. Hughes In his official capacity could not have brought foith the fierce personal assault which the Republican directed against him, to it behooved The Tribune to And out if possible Just what could have been the motive of the attack. Mr. Hushes was out of town when the repoiter called and when he re turned the Information that Tho Trib une set out to get had been secuied. Now for some ancient hlstoiy. Klght jears ago John M. Hughes came to this city and became a clerk In the emp'oy of the HoirJ of Under writers. John G McAskle was then its secretary. John G McAskle was discharged any Insurance man v ill give you tho leason and I din M. Hughes promoted to tho secretaryship. So much foi the leferonce in the Republican article as to how Mr. Hughes came by his position. Not long ago tho Flro Underwriters' association, through the middle depart ment In Philadelphia was directed to promulgate certain rules regaidlng the electric wiring of buildings. Tho Re publican building was not wired ac cording to the rules nnd Its owners or reputed owners proceeded to conform to the rules In order to avoid nn In crease In their Insurance rates. GOLF PRIZE GIVEN, THOUGH. A Scianton business Ilrm started In to re-wlro the building, but never com pleted the Job, possibly for the same leason that one of the Republican re porters borrowed money to buy his midnight lunches, which, ho nllegcd, was because he didn't get his pay Be that as It may, the Board of Un derwriters, through Its secretaiy, John M. Hughes, raised the Insuiance rate on the Republican building 23 per cent , as tho rules of tho middle department directed. Mr Hughes was besought to shut his eyes to the defect In the building and upon his refusal to lend himself to this dishonesty made an enemy of the owners or reputed own ers of the building and tho lnsuianco agent who was writing the pulley. So much for tho assent of the pro prietors of the Republican to the pub lication of the article personally as sailing John M. Hughes and contribut ed to yesterday's edition. If any one thinks Mr. Hughes mad a rash statement when he character ized the Republican's fire department proposition as nn absurdity let him listen to theso expressions from other 15c buys the "P & B" Irapoited Sardines, not the largest size tin, but In qual ity, the finest Imported, regular halfs 10c, value 25c. a Magnum tin (largest) at 35c or 20c In quantity, value 4Scj Cheriy-stone Olives 10 and 20 per bottle, for 30c; Foncy No. 1 fruit, volue 50cj Chipped Beof in tins 15c SI. 75 dozen; Salad Dress ing 25o per bottle value 40c; Finest Home Grown Potatoes 00c per bushel Melons, only the best, prices low; Rodl oranges, fancy sweet fruit; Fresh Sugar Peas, Sugar Corn, Acme Tomatoes, Fresh every day, Best goods for least money. E. Q. Coursen 420 Lackawanna Avenue. men who nro competent to glvo nn opinion on the matter. James J. Orlcr, Democratic leader In common council "The man who fig ured out that proposition has no brains." C. E. Chittenden, ono of tin llepub.l can leaders in select council "It's an Impossibility." C. It. Smith, prominent Insurance ngent "Mr. Hughes spoko aright. It's ridiculous." IDEA IS ABSURD. C. F. Wagner, ono of tho leading members of select council: "It's ab surd to talk about protecting the city wltih seven companies. It can't bo done. Twelve companies I should say Is tho least number we ccaild got along with." E, E. Robathan, former chairman of tho flro department committee of com mon council: "It's useless to talk about protecting Scranton with seven companies oven If they had an abund ance of permanent men It's an impos sibility. When I was chairman of tho fire department committee of common council In 1894 we made nn exhaustive Inquiry as to the manner In which every paid fire department In the enst was conducted. I then framed an or dinance which councils killed. This or dinance provided for eleven companies nnd we made a generous allow nnce of permanent men for each one. Tho city has grown considerably since. Many new plots such aB Tripp park have been opened and I should say the city ought to have a larger number of companies today than would be necessary In 1S94." BENEFITS FOR FIREMEN. Seven Disability Claims Allowed by tho Relief Association Ono of Them Wns Disputed. Seven disability claims wore present ed nnd allowed bv the Firemen's Re lief Association at Its monthly meeting last night. Charles Rlehe, of the Nay Augs, who was burned on the light shoulder at the Tourth of July fire on Vine street, was granted benefits for nine days' disability or $18 Jnmes Rlggal, of tho Nay Augs, who stepped on a nail at the same Hie was allowed $28. James J. Keogh, of tho William Connoll's, who was Injured about the head and face bv being thrown from the wagon while on the wny to the fire was al lowed $20 W. C. Eldrldge, peimanent man of tho Niagara company, wns allowed $2S for being laid up fourteen days with tonsllltis, contracted through expos ure at a fire last winter. David Mai tin, who contracted tonsllltis at the Cuslck's stable fire was allowed $20 James F Stewart, of the Cumbei land's, drew $34 benefits for seventeen davs' Illness of tonsllltis. Adam Stelnhouser, permanent man of the Hook and Ladder company, was allowed t"A benefits for being laid up seventeen dos with a frozen foot, which Injury was teceived at the big fire on West Lackawanna, avenue last w Inter. This last claim was disputed by James Molr, Jr., a member of the Hook and Ladder company. He simply stated that It was not a Just claim and should not be allowed. Gene May, another member of the Hook's, con tended for tho pajment of the claim. He said that while Mr Stelnhouser continued to woik during the seventeen davs for which he claims benefits he did so with great difficulty and only because Chief Hlckev would not re lieve him. Mr May further said that anjone who got to the windward of the alleged frozen foot would unhesi tatingly admit that it was very badly frozen. Theie was another lively debate on tho question as to whether the per manent men should be beneflcaries of tho relief fund, but as a committee is now drafting a rule to cover the point In question, with the Intention of re porting It at the next meeting, no at tempt was made to take any definite action.

REPORT HAS CAUSED ABUNDANCE OF TALK LOCAL MEN REFUSE TO VERIFY THE STORY. Evidently tho Time for Thorn to Speak Has Not Yet Arrived. Rlggs People Are Making Inquir ies Concerning tho Condition of the Carbondalo Traction Company's Property What a Man Who Knows Plans of the Rlggs Has to Say About the Sale. There was much talk about town yesterday concerning the reported sale of tho Scranton Railway company's in terests in tho trolley roads hereabouts, which was announced in yesterduy's Tribune Everybody in a position to speak with authority about the matter maintained strict silence nnd answered all romers with "I know nothing about it," "It's news to me," etc. They know, but evidently tho time for them to speak has not yet arrived. For more than two weeks the Rlggs poople have had a representative here who has been gathering Information about the condition of tho Scranton Rallwny company nnd ItB liabilities in tho way of suits, etc. The condition of the rolling stock was one of strong objections to the property and us soon as they take charge a radical Improvement in that respect is promised K man who Is in n position to know tho plana of the United Power and Transportation company, said yester day: "I cannot tell you that the sale has nctunlly taken place for I don't know, but I do know that negotiations have ben in progress for some time. If the United company socuies the lines they vlll at once i-xpend enough of money to get them In first class shape nnd supply them with a sufficient amount of up-to-date rolling stock "Tho purchase of the Scranton lines will not mean the abandoning of the project to onstiuct a line from Wilkes Barro to Scranton. True they would havo a continuous line, but not suoh a iln ns tho United people want They deiro a road on which they could inn cats between the two cities nt steam road speed and they will have It wheth er or not they secuie the Scranton lines. My opinion Is that they will se cure tho Scranton company if they have not already done to." It was learned yesterday that the Rlggs people are also investigating tho condition of the Carbondalo Traction company with a view to acquiring that pioreity. The intention Is to obtain control of all of the trolley roads in the Lackawenna. nnd Wyoming valleys. WILL LOOK IN MORAVIA. Father Looking for Indentured Child Came to the Wrong Place.
