They Wero Owned by E. J. Mnhan and Mrs. M. Wnlsh Total Losses Amount to About SS.OOO. Fire broke out early yesterday morn ing tu the frame dwelling house of H, J. Mahon, at No. 11! Carbon ntrect, nnd dcHplte tho desperate efforts of the central pity lire cotnpalnen, the Humes completely destroyed Jlahon'K property and did Rreat damage to the tinildlng at No. 10 Carbon street, owned by 5Ir.f. M. Walsh nnd occupied by her and family and Theodore Kelly. A defective flue of Muhon's furnace Is thought to have caused the fire. A mass of blackened smoking timbers were all that remained of his home af ter C o'clock yesterday morning anil tho total dunuigo sustained by him and his brother, Mnrtln Mahon, who re sided on the upper ttoor with his wife, will aggregate about $-5,000. which is practically covered by Insurance. K. J. Mahon carried $S,000 on his home and furlnshlngs and his brother hud ?50U. The Walsh building, between which and Mahon's house there was only about six Inches space, sustained nn equal damage. The upper imit of the dwelling was the pari most affected by the flames, the roof being completely dtstroyed and thcilumcs playinghavoo with the upper story, but Indus pre vented from Invading the ground floor, A great amount of damage was, how ever, done by water, and as In thn Wnlsh as well ns Mahon building, none of tho furniture was removed the loss is about tho name to the owners of each of the affected dwellings. The lire was discovered about t.SO o'clock by street, ear men passing on their way to the bam. Harry HIce and Henry Hlne, of tho Crystals, were pinned under falling timbers In the Walsh building for n few moments, but escaped unseratched. About 6 o'clock the lire was under con trol, but Mahon's building w-as then a mere mass of ruins and Walsh's build ing ruined. An excited individual sent In an alarm from box 16, at the Dickson Manufacturing company's work, on Vino street, and this brought to the seen some of the flreen Kldge and North Scranton companies. The tlre men express the opinion that a defec tive flue In Mahon's furnace caused the lire. Several large glass windows in Gor don's three-story brick building oppo site Muhon's wero cracked by ttio heat and for a while Indeed It was feared that the building would catch flro from tho flying sparks, STRUCK BY OUTGOING TRAIN.

THERE IS NO ENTHUSIASM LITTLE INTEREST TAKEN IN TUESDAY'S ELECTION. Common Coundlmcn, Including the Additional Members Provided for in Cities of the Second Class, Aro to Bo Elected in Nearly Every Ward Aldermen and Constables to Be Chosen in Other Wards. There Ave Eighty-Two Candidates Altogether. Not a great deal of Interest Is being taken In the municipal election to be held next Tuesday, but the candidates, whoso names arc legion, oro all making quiet und energetic canvasses. The additional common councilman provided for in the existing second class city act und provided for also In the amended "ripper" bill, which yes terday afternoon passed the state sen ate, are to be elected, ns well as the regular common cotincllmen In the odd numbered wards. Aldermen arc to be elected In tho Fourteenth, Sixteenth nnd Twentieth wards, as well ns elec tion ollleers In every ward In the city. In the First ward, ono of tho great est Republican strongholds In the city, three eotiucllmeu uro to bo elected. The threo Republican candidates are John McDonald, the present common councllmnn; John J. lSvans und Thom as W. Thomas. The Democrats felt so discouraged, as they usually do in this ward, that they nomlnntcd only one lone mnn, M. J. Claik. There Is also an independent candidate, T.G. Mason, who filed nomination pupers on his own account. The Second ward, which Is generally Republican by n big majority, will have four common counclhncn under tho new apportionment, but II, S. Al wortli, who was recently elected to succeed M. V. .Morris, resigned, has another ear to serve, so that only three will be elected. The Republican candidates are Isaac R. Kdwards. Thomas J. Snowden and James B. Casterllne. while the Democtats have placed the following candidates In tiomlnatlon: J. V. lCvnns. John LaBar and P. A. Roland. FOURTH WARD. In tho Fourth ward two additional common councllmen are to be chosen, und the Republican candidates aro Kvan W. Kvans nnd Fdward W. Sear ing. This ward Is so strongly Repub lican that the Democrats couldn't arouse enough enthusiasm to nominate any candidates, but the. Prohibition ists, with that persistence which ul ways characterizes them, were not lacking and nominated as their stand-nrd-bearcrs W. T. Ilttrall and Mere dith Jones. There are u host of olllce-seokcrs In the Fifth ward, divided between the Republican nnd Prohibition parties. Tho Republican candidate for school controller Is John H. Phillips, who holds that position ut present, and the Democrats have also selected him as their candidate. The Prohibition can didate for school controller Is Charles Corless. The Republican candidates for common iNimcllmen, of whom there nrc to be tffree, are Albert K. Lewis, recently elected to that position; John T. Jones und Fdward E. Robathan. Tho Democrats endorsed the candidacy of Mr. Lewis, but failed to nominate any other candidates. Tho Prohibition candidates are David P. Ellas, Charles Munson nnd D. L. Jones. There is one Independent candidate in the Held, Alexander Hullburg. In the Sixth ward one additional common councilman Is to be elected, nnd tho candidates are as follows: Republican, Edward Harris; Democrat, John F. McGrccvy: Prohibition. Thom as J. Edwards. This Is nominally a Democratic ward, but a Republican select councilman, Edward James, Jr., was elected not long ago. NO OPPOSITION. In the Seventh ward, a Democratic stronghold, In which a Republican ward candidate would have no chance for success, tho present common coun cilman, John J. Ruane, Democrat, Is a candidate for re-election. Thomas Loftus Is a candidate for constable to (succeed Hugh Collins, recently re moved bycourt as tho result of charges preferred by the Municipal league. In the Ninth ward, which has for years gone Republican, there aro two Republican candidates for common council, II. E. Paine, the present in cumbent, and Attorney O. B. Part ildge. There are no other candidates. Two common councllmen uro to be elected In tho Eleventh ward, which is ut present represented in councils by a Republican select councilman and a Democratic common councilman. The Republican candidates are Oscar Hel rlegel and John Lewert, while the Democrats have placed In nomination Fred Phillips, the present common councilman, and Churles G. Rosar. This Is one of the few wards In which a real, aggressive fight will be made. The citizens ot tho Thirteenth wurd, which has for years rolled up big Re publican majorities at every election, will elect two common councllmen. Tiie Republicans have placed In nomi nation the present councilman, Alfred Harvey, and F. Eugene Sykes, The Democratic candldiiles are John J. Mo Taguo and Daniel Pace. An Independ ent candidate Is In the lists In the per son of F. CJ, Krugernian, who was easily defeated for the Republican nomination by botli Messrs. Harvey and Sykes. He Is making a spirited tight and is making the others hustle. THE FOURTEENTH. Alderman Geotgu F. Kellow. the present alderman of the Fourteenth ward. Is a candidate for re-election 011 tho Republican ticket. He is opposed by John Cawley, Democrat. This ward Is a Democratic wnrd, but Mr. Kel low was elected by a big majority five years ago, and ho expects to play tho same trick this year. In tho Fifteenth wurd little Inteiest is being taken in the election. One common counctlmun Is to be elected nnd there aro but two candidates, William Lewis, the present council man, and II, c Hlnman, wlic- Is run ulng on the Prohibition ticket. Tho Sixteenth waul Is the scene of a vigorous tight. Two candidates aro In the Held to succeed Frederick Ful ler us alderman. Tho Democratic can didate Is Attorney M. J. Ruddy, while the Republican candidate Is Joseph J. Kline. Mr. Kllno bus tho united sup port of his party, and Is apparently making u winning tight. Thero isn't much excitement In the Seventeenth ward, whero two com mon councllmen ure to be elected. The Republican candidates nro Luther Kel ler, who has so ably represented tho ward for so many years, and Mathlas Stlpp. Alderman John T. Howe Is thd Republican candidate for re-election to that olllce. All tho citizens will have to do Is to cast a few perfunctory bal lots, as all three candidates nre un opposed. A LIVELY RATTLE. A battle royal Is balng waged In tho Nineteenth wnrd, when three common councllmen nre to bo elected. Tho Re publicans generally manage to pull out ahead In this bailiwick, but onco In 11 while a Democrat squeezes in, as, for Instance, the present select council man, D. W. Vaughan. The Republican candidates nre Common Councilman William J. Smith, William Ij. Janssen nnd Jacob Cordler, while tho Demo cratic standard bearers arc Joseph O. Rosar, Julius Troy and Charles Graf. A constable Is to be elected In this ward, but thero Is only one candidate, Michael McCabo, Democrat. The Twentieth ward hns a vast num ber ot candidates. The largest num ber of these are for alderman. Tho Republican and Democratic nominee for this place Is James O. Brady, while tho present alderman, John J. Ruddy, has filed nomination papsrs as an In dependent candidate. The- other can didates are as follows: Citizens', Charles F. KIoss; Socialist Labor, John Pashkoskl; People's, Mnrtln J. Lovern: Independent Cltlzjns', John E. O'Mal ley. One uddltlonnl common councllmnn Is to bo chosen and the only regular party nominee Is Thomas Grifllths, who was nominated by tho Republicans. Ho Is opposed by Michael J. Connolly, who is an independent candidate. The Democratic candidate for constable Is Edwurd Crane, while his opponent is the present constnble, Joreph Moore. A number of citizens of tho wnrd have conceived the Idea that there may be a chance ot a board of six school directors coming into power In some way or other and so, in order to bo prepared for nil exigencies, six candidates for such a board, whose names nre as follows, have filed pa pers: John Gibbons, M. L. Coyn?, Mar tin F. Donahoe, Patrick Rreen, A. Stanley Klawskl and Richard O'Don ncll. NORTON WANTS TO GO BACK. The citizens of the Twenty-tlrst ward will be called upon to elect a common councilman and a constable. M. F. Norton, the present councilman, Is a candidate for re-election on tho Demo cratic ticket, while Reese R. Thomas Is the Republican nominee. The Demo cratic candidate for constnble Is P. J. Logan, while the Republican candidate Is William Lewis. In several of tho wards, notably thn Ninth, where only one party has nomi nated candidates for councllmen, there Is a light on between candidates of that particular party. This Is because of the failure to nominate a candidate for the regular vacancy und for the additional councilman. There Is a pos sibility that the apportionment of ad ditional common councllmen recently made may bo declared Illegal by court, thus validating the election of these additional members. If this Is done a question would arise us to which of the men elscted In these wards was elected to till the regularly vacancy. The candidates arc taking It for granted that It will bo the man with the largest number of votes and they are out hustling ac cordingly. TO LEAD THESTRIKERS. MOTHER JONES AND PRESIDENT MAHER EXPECTED. Silk Mill Employes Are Awaiting tho Female Organizer of Mine Work ers Plttston Girls Strike. Theie Ik a strong likelihood that the forces of the local striking silk mill employes will be augmented shortly by the acquisition of "Mother" Mury Jones, one of the national organizers of the United Mine Workers, and Presi dent Thomas Mahcr, of the Textile Workers of America, both of whom are expected to oon arrive In the city. It is probable that with their advent some efforts at a compromise will bo made. Mother Jones may make her appear ance In this city today although It Is more likely that she will not come unltl next Monday. She will address the strikers at a public meeting shortly after her arrival. A letter was yes terday received by President Flaherty, of the Central Labor union, from Presi dent Maher, and the latter Is expected to be on within a few days. The girls employed by the .Sterling Silk company In Plttston, went on strike yesterday morning. About two hundred hands are employed ut the mill. They presented a wage scale, asking for substantial Increases and also demand a ten-hour duy sched ule. The mill owners gave no Imme diate answer but declared that they would gtvo tho demands ample consid eration. A meeting of tho htrlking Simpson hands was held yesterday at MInooka und this afternoon the Snuquolt soft silk workers will meet In Carpenters' hull. There aro still about one hun dred local silk employes ,who refuse to Join the union and declare their will ingness to go back to work. The strike has now reached Taylor, und the hands at the large mill oper ated by Renard & Son quit work yes terday. A list of grievances was sub mitted to the owners, Including a re vised wage scale.

Agent for tho Municipal League Was the Prosecutor Other Cases That Had a Hearing Yestorday. Jacob Ellman was again convicted yesterday of subornation of perjury. It will be remembered that ho was tried und convicted last week, but a new trlul was granted on the ground that tho guilt of the accused had not been legally established. After a verdict of guilty was re turned yesterday, Ellman'a attorneys, W, W. Baylor nnd John J. Murphy, went before the court and asked that sentence be not Imposed until today, to gtvo them nn opportunity to filu reasons for a new trial. These will be Presented this morning to Judge Purdy, before whom Ellman was tried. JUDGE R. W. ARCHBALD. Nearly all of yesterday was taken up with the trial of cases growing out of tho strike at the Jermyn mlno at Old Forge last September. Thero were two coses tried Jointly. In which Joseph Rogers and Nicolo Dltnllu, Italian spe cial ollleers, were tho prosecutors. Tho charges were felonious wounding, und the defendants were four of the Polish residents or Old Forge. Tho Jury was out deliberating on the casu at ad journing hour. Tho last ot eight eases, growing out of a pay-day row at Priceburg on Oc tober I, was put on trial after tho Old Force case and continued to occupy the attention of the court until ad journment. John Wldorchak and Leon Ludkaskl were the prosecutors, und the charges aro assault and buttery und robbery. Attorney James E. Wat klne Is private counsel for the prose cutors, and Attorney P. F. Loughran uppears for tho defendants. A verdict of not guilty was taken In the case of Angelo S. Grnndl, churged with pointing flrenrms. The county will pay the coses.

Tho forfeiture of the ball of Mary Cos tcllo, ordered Tuesday, was stricken off yesterday and the cnplas Issued for her wns recalled. JUDGE H. M. EDWARDS. John Moffat, of Brick avenue, was convicted of selling liquor without a license. The Municipal league prose cuted the case, and put 111 evidence the fact that the defendant had paid a United States revenue license for the past two yeais; also the fact that beer had been purchased at his place by ugents of the organization. No de fense was offered, which was favor ably commented upon by the court when Imposing the minimum sentence of $500 Hno and threo month In jail. Edward F. Rush, of South Seventh street, was convicted on a similar charge. The league was prosecutor In this case also, and offered evldencs similar to that offered In the previous case. On Juno 1 last, when tho placs was visited by the detectives, tho de fendant's brother wua apparently ii charge, and was arrested. He was subsequently released on tho under standing, ns stated by the detective.!, that the defendant In the case would assume tho responsibility and plead guilty to this charge. It appeared that a license was granted to the defendant In March last, but was not taken out until Aug ust 20, when the defendant's mother secured it In her own name. Chief of Police John H. Evans and Ofllcer William Price, of Taylor, wero placed on trial on tho charge of feloni ous wounding. Mrs. Annie Ilsuansko was prosecutor, and testified that on the evening of the 4th of last August she was assaulted by the defendants, one of whom struck her with a club and tho other drew a revolver and shot her, the ball inflicting: a wound on the upper part or the head. Dr. Olmstead, of Taylor, was called to prove the Injury and that It was the result of a pistol shot, und neighbors nnd relatives of tho prosecutrix, who stated that they wero present ut the time of the occurrence, corroborated her testimony. The defendants testified that they went to the house of the posecutlx for the purpose of unestlng her ' brother, and that when they arrived mere iney were aitackeci by a num ber of Polaudors, umong others tho prosecutrix, who stoned them and otherwise Interrupted.
