TWO MEN INJURED
BY AN EXPLOSION
Piston Rod Containing Water Was
Heated with Disastrous Re
sults at West Pittston.
There was n very serious explosion
at the Vulcan Iron Works, West Pitts
ton, shortly after 11 o'clock yesterday
morning, which will in all probability
result In the loss of at least one life.
William Henderson, a blacksmith, and
his helper, Matthew Smith, both resi
de. its of West Pittston, were very se
riously injured, the latter probably fa
tally, while the building was finite bad
ly wrecked and every window In that
portion where the explosion took place
shattered.
Henderson and Smith wore al work
straightening a piston toad for the
Stevens' Coat company, and were heat
ing it in the tire. The rod Is hollow,
and It Is now thought there was some
water in it. The effect of the heat
turned this water into steam which
caused the roil to burst, the pieces Hy
ing in all directions. Henderson and
Smith who were close by, received the
full force of the explosion and was
.-.truck by the flying metal. :
Smith was struck by a large piece
and his side was torn open. Uoth were
taken to tho nttston hospital. The
shock of the explosion was felt
tlnoughoul tho neighborhood of the
foundry. Portions of the blacksmith
department were so badly damaged
they will have, to bo repaired. The
foundry will be idle for u fow days.
A half dozen other. persons who were
in the blacksmith shop at the time had
narrow escapes from the Hying missiles,
and several of them were thrown to the
ground,
A NATIONAL EISTEDDFOD.
Will Be Held nt the New Armory

musical festival ever held In this coun
try, and will include loinpetitlons in
Kngllsh, Welsh and Oer.nan, and pos
sibly Italian. Special prises will bo
off wed for the male voice parties sing
ing In Kngllsh anil German, and ex

self l.i the latter, and will preside at
the evening session.
The Arions, of New York, and other
German singing societies ftoin New
York, Newark, Hoboken. Allontown and
Sci anion will bo invited to participate,
and Mr. Hobluson has already guaran
teed the engagement of a celebrated
prima donna, who has never been heard
In this city.
The preliminary programme, is now
being prepared nnd over $3,000 will bo

of an experiment, as a national eis

ell outside of Wales, and If it Is a suc

REAL ESTATE MAN R. ERNEST
COMEQYS,
Ho Believes That Advertising Is a
Good Thing and He Lives Up to
His Belief Is a Native of Mary
land Who Can Trace His Ancestry
Back to the English Colonists.
Clarence M. Florey as a Hustler
for tho Patriotic Order Sons of
America's Fair.
One of tho most progressive, and ut
the satnu tlmo one of tin most imas
Htimliig, ri-al estate men In the city Is
H. Krucst Comegys, who, after ten
years of hard Industry and strict nt-
niUm to business, has built up one of
thn hrst tmv 111? iic-elicln.t 111 tills Olty.
the best paying agencies In this city.
Mr. Coniegys Is 11 native of Mary
land, and traces his ancestry hack to
"-' ngi.sn "''. "
Maryland In the first half of the seven-
teeiith century, under the leadership of
the Kngllsh eolonlsts, who settled
Cecil Calvert, sometimes known as
Lord Ilaltlmore. One ot his ancestors
was governor of Delawa.e for a num
ber of years. Mr. I'omegys came to
Scranton a little over a dozen years
"K". "il after several ventures in vitrl-
ous kinds of business, decided that suc
cess Tor him lay In the real estate line,
and so ho opened an ofllce nnd put all
the enthusiasm and energy of his
young manhood Into the enterprise. He
has wrought out for himself a career,
and that he has done so Is largely due
to the fact that he has appi eclated the
real value of advertising. "The real
estate man w ho doesn't advertise,"
said ho, "has no business In the field,"
and so he advertised and created a
business.
The phenomenal success which has
attended the fair of Washington camp,
No. ITS, Patriotic Order Sons of Amer
ica, in West Scranton, during the past
two weeks, is In a measure attributed
to the able management of Clarence
M. Florey, the senior member of the
firm of Florey & Brooks, and the as
sistance given the undertaking by
friends, business men, meir." ers of tho
crimp and order in genera., aim me
representatives of the city press in par
ticular. The attendance and receipts of the
fair far exceed the expectations of the
promoters, and as a result the building
fund has been substantially Increased.
The camp building stands as a monu
ment to the enterprise of Camp ITS,
Patriotic Order Sons of America, and
is the initial home of patriotism In
Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Hut to Mr. Florey Is duo great credit
for his untiring energy, business abil
ity and farsightedness in the conduct
of the fair, and he Is receiving tho
heartiest congratulations of his tellow
workers and friends on the success of
such an unceilaln undertaking.
John M. Kdwards. who was recently
appointed stenographer of the new or
phans court, is u West Scranton boy,
who has earned the position he has
been elevated to by strict application
to duty and to his employer.
He entered the ofllce of Congressman
ronnell as a stenogiapher after leaving
the Scranton business college, and has
been with bin. for several years. Some
time ago Mr. Kdwards announced him
self as a candidate for tho olllce of
school controller to succeed Kilns K.

When a railroad man is taken from
the ranks and pliued in a position of
extraordinary responsibility, his fellow
workmen along the line naturally man
ifest much interest in his promotion
and follow his career with pleasure or
regret as the case may be.
In the promotion of J. J. McCann
fiom conductor to trainmaster on the
Lackawanna railroad, his friends have
followed his career with pride, and
point to the fact that he has "made
good" beyond expectation. His famil
iarity with the load, and popularity
among all classes nf railroad men,
makes him one of the most valued at
taches of Supcilntende.it Kino's staff.
HE CUT HIS THROAT.
Georgo Beaver Killed Himself Be
cause He Was Refused a Dol

George Heaver, an educated Hungar
ian, aged f.; years, cut his throat with
a razor at his boarding house in Duryea
on Tuesday night because the man
with whom he boarded refused to give
him a dollar with which to buy drink.
He was p.i.lly Intoxicated and told
the keeper of the boarding house when
the latter refused him the money that
he would be sorry he had done so. His

ASSESSMENTS REDUCED.
Judge Carpenter In an Opinion Took
Off $432,500 from City and
County Assessments.
Judge J. W. Carpenter yesterday
handed down an opinion reducing the
Lackawanna Iron and Steel com
pany's city assessment from $2SG,000 to
$10.",000 and the same company's coun
ty assessment from J372.G00 to $121,000,
the amounts stricken off being $181,000
and $257,500 respectively.
The company appealed from the as
sessments on tho ground that the
buildings and plants In question were
pnrtly dismantled when tho assessment
was made and were therefore not lia
ble to full assessment. The judge de
clares this point to bo well taken and
ordered the following reductions In tho
city nssissment: Saw mill and ofllce,
ft mil i 1,000 to $1,000: blast furnace and
surrounding land and improvements,
from $105,000 to $36,000; North Steel
mill nnd No. 2 mill, from $150,000 to
$52,000: engine house, from $19,500 to
$12,000; land near old mill, from $7,500
to $4,000.
The reductions allowed the county
assessment are as follows: Saw mill
and olllces, from $2,000 to $1,500; blast
furnace and surrounding land and im
provements, $1:10,000 to $40,000; North
Steel mill and No. 2 mill, from $200,000
to S7S.000: mule barn, from $5,500 to
$I.50i. An assessment of $H5,000 on the
pattern shop was stricken off entirely
because the building was entirely de
molished when the assessiue.it was
made.
The company also objected tu the as
sessments on certain lands in the
Eleventh and Seventeenth wards but as
these were not Included In the appeal
no action was taken.
TO ORGANIZE MACHINISTS.
Isaac Cowen Tells of Advantages of
Amalgamated Association.
Isaac Cowen, of New York city, in
ternational organizer of the Amalga
mated Society of Kngineers, Machin
ists, Ulacksinith and Patternmakers, Is
In the city, endeavoring to organize
a local union, nnd addressed n sll.nly
attended meeting in Guernsey hull lust
night.
The Amalgamated association is a
member of the American Federation
of Labor and Is separate nnd distinct
fiom the International Asoseiatlon of
Machinists, the organization which con
ducted the big strike last spring. The
especial advantage which Is held out
to prospective members is the fact
that the organization has In lis treas
ury at the present lime a reserve fund
of ?2,:U7.000, with which to pay benellls
to the unemployed, tick and striking
members.
The fact that this association has
ibis huge fund in its treasury renders
It unique anioug labor organizations.
A large part of its membership Is in
tho Uritish Isles.
CHICKEN THIEF ARRESTED.

NEW VIADUCT
ORDINANCE
PROBABDP IT WILL BE INTRO
DUCED IN COUNCIL.
After the Now Assessment Is Effect
ive the Argument Raised by Luth
er Keller That tho Building of tho
Viaduct Would Put Us Beyond
the Debt Limit Will Not Have
Force West Scranton Councllmen
Arc Waiting to Take Advantage
of Opportunity Offered.
The West Lncknwnnnu avenue via
duct nu-istlon Is likely to again become
the subject of discussion nnd debate In
the city councils before many more
weeks elapse.
Tho oblectlon that was raised by
Luther Keller In the inlunctlon pro
ceedings, which he brought against tlte
erection of the structure last spring,
wits that the Indebtedness which would
be created by the construction of the
viaduct would carry the city beyond
thn debt limit llxed by the constitution
of the state.
Such an objection could not be raised
after the assessment which Is now be
ing made by tho assessors goes Into
effect, because the city will then have
a margin of $700,000, or much more than
sulllcl"tit, admitting Mr. Keller's con
tention that the debt whlih would be
created would be an actual Indebted
ness, to be 11 correct one.
After the new assessment goes Into
effect all that would be required would
be the passage of another ordinance
providing for the construction of the
viaduct and accepting the offer of tho
Delawa.e, Lackawanna and Western
and Scranton Hallway companies to
pay for the structure, the city to merely
pay the damages which might u.iso.
The old ordinance cannot now be con
sidered binding, as conditions have
changed since Its passage.
It wii" learned yesterday that several
of the West Scianton councllmen are
merely waiting for the new assessment
to be completed before again bringing
up the question in councils.
KNOCKED DOWN BY A CAR.
