EARLY MORNING FIRE.
FLAMES DESTROY TWO BUILD
INGS ON CARBON STREET.
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,

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.

JURY SAID
HE IS GUILTY
RESULT OP THE SECOND TRIAL
OF ELLMAN.
His Attornoys This Morning Will
Make an Application for a New
Trial John Moffat and Edward F.
Rush Convicted on Charges of Sell
lng Liquor Without a Llconso.
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.
Mrs. Cora Elbes, convicted Tuesday
of receiving stolen goods, was sen
tenced to pay a fine of $1, costs, and
spend four months In the county Juil.
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.
