Out-of-Town Contestants.
Candidates continue to lobster their
names on the books as contestants, and
some ate from a long distance from
tho city. But the out-of-town paitlcl
jiants realize tho fact that they stand
as good a show to be on the top of the
list nt tho ending of the contest as the
Scrantonians who have entered. One
reason for this Is that, although the
Held Is more limited, the contestants
are also lower in propoitlon to tho
number of inhabitants, and that a
young man or woman In tho country
Knows eery one In tho village per
sonally, and th.it local pride will stimu

BIO BREAKER BURNED.
Tho Abandoned Boston Building Is
Destroyed by riames.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
I'lttston. July 19. The old abandoned
lloston breaker.sltuated back of Yates
vlllo, was totally destroyed by flro
about noon today. Tho flro originated.
It Is thought, from a spark from n.
locomotive on tho Wllkes-Ilauo and
Eastern road, and tho Haines blaze I
furiously for two or three hours, no
effort being made toward their ex
tinction. The breaker was owned by
the Uutler Coal company and had been
abandoned a few yeais ago, upon the
erection of the Fernuood bleaker,
about a quarter of n mile away. This
employes nt tho Fetnwood have heefi
on strike for homo tlmo past, and It
was there tho ilot lecently occuired.
Tho rumor quickly spread tlnough the
town today that it was the Fotnwood
that was ablaze, and natuially It was
thought to bo tho work ot the strikers,
hut the rumor proved groundless, as
tho Fernuood was not tho least en
dangeted by tho blaze. Tho Fern wood
pumping station is located near the
burned stiuctuie, but was safeel by a
bucket bilgade.
The burned breaker wos one of thu
oldest In this vicinity, but os the ma
chinery was all taken out and the
breaker abandoned, the loss Is not n
great one.

STROUDSBURQ.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Stroudsburg, July 19. Tho Pocono
Mountain Ice company and the Pocono
Summit Ice company, two local Ice
companies, have determined to make
a test case out of the state's right to
assess a mercantile tax upon them.
County Treasuier F. W. Dllenborger
brought suit before Justice Drake to
recover tho sum of 110.83 from the
Pocono Mountain Ico company, and
$9.20 from tho Pocono Summit Ice com
pany, tho amounts representing their
mercantile tax. Justice Drake gave
Judgment by default. Both the com
panies have taken an appeal from tho
appraisement to the court of common
pleas, but It was after the summonss
wete Issued. It will bo remembered
that the state has made a distinction
between nntutal and attlficlal Ico com
pmles, ruling that the natural Ice com
panies are not manufacturers of Ice,
nnd so must be nssessed. Tho artificial
Ice companies are rated ns manufac
turers and not subject. The case will
come before Judge Craig for final de
cision, nnd as it affects cvety Ice com
pany In tho state the outcome will bo
awaited with much Interest.
