FIRE ON PENN AVENUE.
Debris in Basement of Klein's Store
Caught Fire.
Fire broke out about C.15 o'clock last
evening In tlu- basement of Joseph
Klein's wholesale liquor store at 401
400 1'i'iin avenue, the blaze starting In
a mass of debris lylriff on the ground.
Its uriKln Is n mystery. It was discov
ered by Kd ward Gllroy, a boy who
uorks In the place.
After olosinz the store about 6
o'clock, be was standing at a fruit
stand, ncross the street, for Bhelter
from the rain, when about C.20 o'clock
Stephen McKcnna, of 1'enn avenue,
called out to him that he could see
smoke In the cellar. Gllroy Immedi
ately turned In the nlarm from IJox 13,
at Penn avenue and Mulberry street.
The Crystals, Nay Auks, Phoenix
chemical and Hook and Ladder com
panies all responded.
Kntry was effected through a cellar
door in front of the store, and n lance
amount of chemicals used In puttlnir
out the blaze. The cellar wns full of
smoke and It was dllllcult work sub
duing the Hie, but after about half an
hour's hard work it was over, with
verv little damage done. It was pre
vented from spieadlng to the upper
part of the stote, and In the cellar very
little damage was done.
SnE HAD TAKEN GAS.
Shock from a Fall Induced a Cata
leptic Fit.
Pave for a severe headache, Miss
Mary Mason, of GIG Charles street, waa
yesterday fully recovered from the ac
cident which befel her the night before
at the Hotel Jermyn corner.
She says she was running for the
street car, nnd did not notice the tele
phone company's excavation until she
stumbled Into it.
Dr. O'Malloy, who attended her at
Phelps' drug store, had to work un
hour and a quarter before he succeeded
In icstorlng her to consciousness. In
his opinion, the shock of the fall In
duced a sort of catalepsy. She had
been having teeth extracted and took
gas. This tended to superinduce the
cataleptic condition. The fact that
there were no abrasions or other vis
ible I ii J u ties confirmed the doctor In his
diagnosis.

FOUR MORE ARRESTS
OF LIQUOR DEALERS
MEN'S UNION AGENTS CON
TINUE TO BE ACTIVE.
George Wuench of West Lackawan
na, Avenue Is Charged with Sell
ing on Sunday John J. Gottlngs,
Henry Rush and J. C. Taylor Ac
cused of Keeping Speakeasies All
Waive Hearings Licensed Dealers
Sold to Bo Behind the Up-tho-Valley
Prosecutions.
Six more alleged Illegal liquor sell
ers gave ball before Alderman Myron
Kasson yesterday to face the prosecut
ing agents of the Men's union nt the
October quarter sessions. The parties
and the offenses with which they nto
charged are:
(ieorge Wuench, W12 Lackawanna avenue;
selling on Sunday.
O'Corino" J. Walsh, 21S Lackawanna avenue;
selling on Sunday.
John J. Getting!, 1M7 Lalajettc street; sell
ing without a license.
Henry Ituh, South Seventh strcit; selling
without a license.
J. V. Tajlnr, lyt North Ninth street; selling
without a licet ki
Robert Wilson, chief agent of tho
Men's union, la the prosecutor In each
case, and the arrests were made by
him or his usslstants. All waived a
hearing nnd gave ban in the sum of
$500 each.
Wuench's bondsman Is his son, John
Wuench. Robert C. Wills became
bondsman for O'Connor & Walsh;
Hugh Larkln for Oettlngs; Martin lie
Halo for Rush, and Prank J. Dwyer,
of Dunmore, for Taylor. Rush entered
ball beforo Alderman Kelly. In the
case of O'Connor & Walsh, the arrest
was made last week. Yesterday was
the time set for the heating. As an
ticipated, they waived this right and
simply gave surety for their appear
ance at court.
SECOND CASE AGAINST TAYLOR.
This Is the second case the Men's
union has caused to be brought against
Taylor. He was one of those Included
In the first batch of wan ants, but he
managed to keep out of the way of the
olllcers until after the grand jury hnd
finished Its session. The agents of tho
union allege that he has continued to
soil, despite his arrest.
Taylor denies this. Ho says he ap
plied for a license, but finding that
there were four speakeasies In ths
Immediate neighborhood to compete
against, he concluded not to go Into
the business, and though tho license
was granted he declined to take It out.
The Information In this ease was
given tho agents of the union by
County Detective Leyshon. Mr. and
Mts. Taylor expressed great surprise
on hearing of this and proceeded to
tell Attorney F. E. Meet's and others of
the representatives of the union that
the county detective was responsible
for all their trouble.
When they bought their hotel prop
erty they went to the county detective,
they said, and telling him of their In
tention to open a licensed saloon, fur
nished him with the names of the four
alleged speakeasy keepers In their
neighborhood nnd agreed that they
would also furnish tho evidence to con
vict them if ho would bring prosecu
tions against them. The county de
tective, they paid, took no steps In the
matter.
Mr. Leychou's side of the story Is a
trifle different. He started out to se
cure evidence against the four places
reported to him by the Taylors, just
as soon as the Information came to
him, he says, but beforo he could catch
any of them the crusade came on and
.they quit. Taylor, however, opened up
nnd proceeded to do business without
a license, he says, and ho put tho
Men's union on to him.
HUSBAND AND WIPE.
Mrs. Ma.-garet Kennedy, of South
Washington avenue, who was arrested
Tuesday, is the wife of John T. Ken
nedy, who was on last criminal trial
list to answer for selling without a
license. He succeeded in having the
case put over until next term by Fend
ing in a doctor's certificate setting
fotth that ho was seriously 111 of colic.
The place has been kept open con
tinuously, the union's agents say, with
Mrs. Kennedy In chaige.
It Is said that the prosecutions
brought by tho International Detective
agency against nlleged speakensy keep
ers in Olyphant, Jessup and Wlnton,
were instigated by the liquor dealet'3
of thoke localities. The detectives de
cline to say whom they are acting for.
The license of Bridget Coleman for
the place on South Washington ave
nue, of which Robert Allen Is now pro
prietor, was yesterday transferred to
Mr. Allen. The latter wns arrested for
selling without a llcensr and escaped
prosecution by the plea that he had
purchased the place only a few days
before from Mrs. Coleman and sup
posed she had taken out a license. The
license had been applied for and grant
ed, but she had neglectea to take It out.
The prosecutions are having the ef
fect of closing up hundreds of speak
easies nil 'throughout the county. Most
of them have gone out of business alto
gether, but somn are simply closed
temporal lly. their proprietors being
possessed jf the Idea that the union
will get tired of its task before long
and that nothing more than the regu
lar olllcet.s of tho law will have to be
feared, or rathered considered.

CONCERNING NOSEBLEED.
Facts That Are Useful to Know
About a Common Affliction.
Plum the Medical Journal,
Nosebleed is so common In childhood
that little account Is ordinarily made
of it. AVheie It occurs repeatedly with
out apparent provocation, however,
effort should be made not only to
check the Immediate attack, but to as
certain tho cause of the trouble. It Is
well known that heart disease, con
gestion of the liver and other condl
tlonb affected by, or affecting the cir
culation of, tho blood, predispose to
nosebleed, and considerable anxiety Is
frequently felt lest the nosebleed of
childhood may be tho result of serious
constitutional causes. Most common
ly the cause Is local.
The best means of checking the Im
mediate attack is pressuie with the
finger on the upper lip, just beneath
the nostrils. A small pad of absorbent
cotton or a piece of handkerchief may
be placed inside tho Up and tightly
pressed against the gum from without,
thus compiesslng the two small arter
ies of the upper lip that supply tho
nose. These can ordinal lly be felt pul
sating In this locality.
If the bleeding Is profuse or pro-longi-1,
the child should bo placed In a
restful position, but with the head
elevated, while i.e may be held to tho
forehead or the back of the neck. To
decrease still further the blood pres
sure within the vessels of the nose a
mustard footbath is of service.
1 1. the meantime, blowing the nose
must be avoided. Plugging the nos
trils both in front nnd back is a last
resort to keep the sufferer from actual
peril.
Tho pr "disposing causes of nosebleed
are, nn has been said, commonly local.
Careful examination of the nose Is,
therefore, nlways necessary In recur
rent attacks. Diseased areas In the
nose are usually found, In which tho
vessels nre spongy nnd unnaturally
turgid,
Tho depression of the child's health
caused by repeated attacks of. nose
bleed not Infrequently requires atten
tion. If the trouble is duo to sys
tematic weakness, attention Is to bo
especially directed to nn improvement
of tho general condition; while If the
lungs aro themselves weak, repeated
attack:! of nosebleed are t.ometlmes In
dications of the need of a change of
cllmale or of proper physical exercises
at home.
The formation of scabs or crust3,
often attended In childhood with pick
ing of the nose, must not be over
looked as a cause of nosebleed,
AVatchfulmss may bo required to pre
vent tho formation of an unfortunate
habit, but tho uffected spots must also
be treated with ointment or othsr
simple means of healing,

OVER A QUARTER
OF A CENTURY AGO
FIRST STEEL MAKING PLANT
IN HIS CITY.
Description of It Taken from tho
Iron Ago of August 20, 1874 At
That Time Steel Making Had Not
Reached Anything Like tho Stato
of Perfection That Surrounds It
Today Mill Built at That Time
Still Exists, but in a Greatly Al
tered Condition.
In vluw of the departure from this
city of the mills of the Lacknwanna
Iron nnd Steel company, the following
description of Scranton's first steel
mill, from tho Iron Ago of August 20,
1S74, will be of Interest:
The fourdatlons for the Klccl woiks of tho
Laikawanna Iron ami CoM company were com
menced in the vicinity of the mmpany's rolling
mills on tho 1Mb of June Inst, nnd the work of
comtnutlcn Is being rapidly carried on. It is
expected to have 'he walls ready for the roof
on or about the first of Dec ember next. The ca
pacity of the works will be extensive, lotislstlng
of a cupola room 41 feet span, 71 feet long,
and 40 feet high to eaves; a converting room,
S4 feet span, 121 frit long, and ill feet high,
an inglne room, St feit spin, 77 feet long, and
10 feit high; a bolhr room, 4H fict nun, 73
feet long, and IS feet high to eaves. All these
buildings will be arranged so as to form a rcit
angle of 121x202 feit.
In the cupola room will be hxatid four
cupolas of sevin and a half feit in dlametir,
four feet In depth of tuyeres, and fifteen feet
high to tho charging doors, each capable of
smelting Ave tons in thirty minutes; also two
six-ton ladles mountid on scales for receiving
the molten pig iron from the cupolas, nnd in
which it will be weighed before converted Into
stiel; also two rcvuberatory furnaces for
smelting the frankllnlte, the oHico of which is
to import to the convirted product its recpiMte
hitdncsa as well as to remote lnipunths. In
each ind of the cupola room will be a hoisting
tower furnished with a hydraulic elevator cf
six tons capacity and fifty feet travel.
THE CONVF.ftTEltS.
Two five-ton convirlers will be located in the
converting room, of eight feet external diameter
end flftiin feet high. These will bo linn! with
lefractory material ten inihes thick at the bot
tom of the vessel, and will be provided with
stout trunnions eightxn Indies In dlametir,
and with hydraulic goar for rotating, moulted
on iron biams and column. The center of the
converters will be ten fed nine Inches above
gtnertl level. Thise nre, by mi ini ot the hy
draulic rotating gear, flrt put In a nearly
horizontal position, for reciltlng the milten pig
inn, next in an upright position while the Iron
is being converted, and lastly In a revirsed po
sition, while dii barging the yet hissing stiel.
Immediately In front of the eenvcrtus will he
situated the tasting tilt, which will be 3i bet
in diameter, and two aud a half Fteep deep, and
commanded by a ccntul hydraulic ladle crano of
twilve tons capacity.
At Its extreme end Is mounted a ladle,
which receives the steel from the converters.
This ladle-crane will them be swung over th
several Ingot molds In lotitlon, when the liquid
metal will be taped fioin the bottom of the
lasting ladle, to avoid the sl.'ig becoming mixed
with the steel. The stcils ingot will the be
allowed to solidify, alter which It will he
weighed and stamped with the number of tons
nnd Its charge and Its degree of hairiness, and
is then ready for blooming nnd rolling In'i, rails.
The sine of the Ingot depends on the weieht of
the rail to be produced. It will average 12
Inches square and t"i inches long, and for two 30.
foot rills sixty-five pounds pir y ir.l.
In the conveitirg room four m ir- hidraulle
cranes will be located about the ci'tlnj pit
and the converters, for inanlpulitlng the Ingots,
molds, lidlos and othir actessoiiis.
The llrlng at the bottom of tha eonverlin
suffers most, cf course, dm lug the conversion,
and to provide for this t.nriiiul wear there will
be twelve reserve bottoms, ly nieanc of which
the process may go on unlntcriiiptedly. Tnirty
heats cf Hvp tons each, or about IV) tons, can
be turned out cveiy twenty-four houis. These
bottoms nie prepared In the establishment,
being first raniineil up with refractory material
In a semi-plastic state, nnd then expired to a
slow- nnd steady heat In large ovens, nf which
there will lie five, each S feet wide', S feet high,
and 1(1 feet long in dear. ai.d all opening into
the converting loom. All the hydraulic ma
ihinery will be actuated by a lndraullc duplex

PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
Some Contrasts in the Matter of
Delay and Cost.
W. E. Curtis In Chicago lteiord.
The new city hall nt Philadelphia is
called the "Penn-Holder." because
there Is a statue of AVIllam Penn on
tho top of the tower, and it has cost
up to Jan. 1, 1000, tho sum of4.$22,ri01,
C5C, or seven millions more than tho
capltol nt AVashington ond nearly four
times as much as the new congres
sional library. Strangers who visit
Hartford are always told that the new
statehouse of Connecticut. wlilM, la nno
of the most beautiful structures In
the world, wns not only built within
the estimates, but many thousands of
dollars of the appropriation that re
mained unexpended was turned back
Into tho tieasury. It is claimed by
Hartfoid peoplo that this Is the only
public building of any size In tho
United States of which tho same can
be said, and the virtue of the State
house trustees has mmln nvnn-iin.iv
very conceited. On the other hand,
the Philadelphia peoplo brag about tho
amount of money that has been stolen
troni tne city nail appropriations dur
ing the long years it has been un
der discussion nnd declare that it Is tho
biggest "Job" that was ever llnmvn In
the United States, excepting, perhaps,
tho statehouso at Albany. Tho latter
has cost $24,211,102 upto date, or nearly
$2,000,000 mote than the "Penn-Holder,"
and It has been a race to see which
coutu occupy tne ion-jest time in con
struction, The eanltol nt Alhnnx' xvnn rm
menced In 1SCS, nnd one corner was first
occupied in isit, tne remainder In 18S9.
The Philadelphia city hall waB begun
In 1&70 and a portion of it was occu
pied In 1880, tho entire building in 18S7.
At the time work was commenced tho

completed, but tho Philadelphia hall
Is unfinished, and It Is estimated that
additional appropriations of $1,000,000
xvlll be needeel to carry out tho plans
of construction and elaborate designs
of decoration. Tho mayor's olllce Is
one pf the most superb apartments In
tho country as splendid as the au
dience chamber of n king and Its dec
orations alone cost over $G0,000; but
they nre no more extravagant or ex
quisite than those of the directors'
olllce of one of the savings Institutions
of Philadelphia.
The enormous cost of both buildings
has been due not only to extravagance1,
waste and corruption, but to a vicious
system of making separate contracts
for every little thing mat was done or
needed. It was no doubt of political
advantage to distribute the contracts
and the purchases of suuplles among as
many people as possible, but It (I'd
not promote economy, nnd one of the
great architects of the world told me
that tho city hall here could bo re
produced today for half Its cost if one
contract were awarded to one person.
It has been the prnctlcp to give the
contract for door knobs to one man,
locks to another, keys to a third and
hire a fourth to put them on, and as
each contractor was expected to make
a contribution to the political xvar
chest ho added that amount to the
price. There have also been labor
regulations on both buildings wh'ch
have Increased the rate of wages paid,
reduced the number of hours of labor
and added considerably to the cost.
The capltol at AVashington has cost
thus far about $10,000,001). with $.",000.
000 more for the construction of the
terraces and approaches which do not
pertain to the building proper, but
would not have been needeel except for
Its peculiar location at the crest of a
hill; but with all the money that lias
been expended upon the national cap
ltol It has cost Jl.COO.OOO less than th
Albany statehouse and Is larger and
finer than either. The Philadelphia
city hall covers an area of 470 by 4S0
feet and the tower, Including tho stntui
of AVllliam I'otiii. that surmounts It,
Is 547 feet and .", inches high, or 7 feet
and 7 Inches lower than the AVashlng
ton monument.
THE ETIQUETTE OF THE HAT.
It Plays a Greater Part in the Inter
course of Others Than of Ameri
cans. From the Washington Evening Star.
"Walking up Fifteenth street re
cently," said a AVashlngtonlan who has
traveled extensively, "I observed Sec
retary Hay remove his hat to two
gentlemen, who returned the saluta
tion In the same manner. They were
members of the Diplomatic corps.
"As we all know, the American style
of salutation when two or more gentle
men meet Is an Inclination of the head
or a wave ot the hand. The hat is
doffed to tho gentler sex only. On tho
continent It would be an Insult for a
gentleman to pn.ss an acquaintance
without removing the hat. It they are
friends tho salutation Is even more
formal and Includes a shake of the
hand nnd the exchange of a few com
plimentary remarks.
"The French are accounted tho most
punctilious and ceremonial of people.
I think the Uelglans are even moro so.
Their customs are French, however.
They have a language of their own, but
tho names of tho streets In ntussels
are In both French and 'Ilelge' on the
same sign board.

acquaintance of many Ilelglan gentle
men, and the salutation between my
diplomatic friend and those he met wa3
something like this:
" 'Ah, Count, I am delighted to grePt
you.' (A cordial smile, a ceremonious
lifting of the hat, a hearty shake ot
the hand and an Inclination of thi
body In a polite bow.)
" 'My dear Col. , the pleasure 19
wholly mine. I am ii'jolced to see you.
I trust you are very well.' (Same for
mula.) " 'My friend. Mr. , of AA'ashlng-
ton.' (Same formula on my part and
that of the count.)
"After an Interchange of mutually
complimentary remarks the ceiemonles
attending the Introduction were re
peated as we tespectlvely said 'an re
volt' and replaced our silk hats for1
the last time upon our heads. It was
a novelty at first, but when 1 repealed
It eighteen times an hour I experienced
a crick in the small of my back,
"My friend explained to me that con
tinental gentlemen of high social posi
tion were not pressed by political and
financial affairs as are Americans; In
similar walks of life, and tho hurry
and haste wo display Is unknown' to
them."
