DISASTER FOLLOWS
JAMES C0RRIGAN
The Fire Fiend Which Destroyed His
Plnce of Business n Couple of
Months Ago Wipes Out His Home.
The Victim of Such Hard Luck Is
an Unfortunate Cripple His Wife
Injured.
The Mine-honored phrase that tells of
the pursuit of the Nemesis of bad luck
ilnds application anew in the case of
James Corrigan, who many months
ago sustained the loss of a hand in an
Injury which came to hint at his work
nbottt one of the local breakers. A
couple of months ago Corrlgan's sole
means of livelihood, a small candy
store on Park Place, in the old post
office building, was destroyed by lire.
Yesterday the home that sheltered hlni
and his family was wiped out by the
same fiend. When the store was
burned nil that Corrlgan owned was
lost and In the disaster of yesterday
there was nothing saved except a few
chairs. In each instance everything
was swept away.
Corrlgan's home, which was destroy
ed yesterday, is located on South
Church street, in the rear of the cem
etery. The blaae was noticed about 2
o'clock by Mrs. Jacob, a neighbor.
There was no one at home in Corrl
gnji's. Smoke was coining from the
kitchen. A telephone message caused
an alarm to ho rung for box 40. The
Mitchells were on the scene 'first, but
the distance of the lire hydrant from
the burning house made it impossible
to reach the fire with the hose the
company carried. When the Colum
bias arrived the combined hose made
a stream available. At this juncture
the greatest dilllculty was met with;
the water pressure was extremely
weak and there was ' another loss of
time, while the larger nozzle was being
changed to a smaller one. Altogether
there was a delay of perhaps a. half an
hour from the time the alarm was sent
in, so when the firemen were ready to
work the Corrlgan home was past
saving. Efforts were then centered in
preserving the Wills' house about ten
feet away from the flumes.
The loss on Corrigan's house, as men
tioned, was total, stive a few chairs and
some bedding. The contents, It was
said, were not Insured. The house
which was owned by 11 building and
loan association, had Insurance that
prohably covers the loss.
Corrlgan's hard luck has awakened
the warm-hearted sympathies of the
public and it is expected that he will
be speedily relieved by the charity of
his friends. .
Corrlgan's Wife Injured.
Corrigan's cross or yesterday was
made the heavier by nn accident which
Ills wife met With on her way to the
lire. AVhen the news that her home
was being destroyed cumo to her, Mrs.
Corrlgan, affrighted, hastened to the
place. In her excitement and nervous
ness she slipped or tripped while as
cending the hill and in falling sustained
HANDY HUSBAND.
Knew How to Get Part of the Hreukfust
Anyhow.
"I know one dish I can prepare for
breakfast os well as any cook on
earth," said my husband one day when
t e cook wus ill and ho had volunteered
ti help get breakfast. Up appeared
with his dish and I discovered It was
"Grape-Nuts which, of course, was easy
to prepare for It was perfectly cooked
at the factory, hut it was a good illus
tration 'of the convenience of having
Grape-Nuts about.
We Just added ti llttlo cream and, of
course, had a delicious bit of food. Wo
took up Grape-Nuts Immediately utter
returning from a five years' sojourn lu
a. hot country and our stomachs were
li-bad condition and we were in bad
health generally.
When wo first tiled It I confess wo
thought there wore other and better
things to eat and were told wo must
uunutre u. taste for this now food, Sure
enoyab.ln a, day or two we liked Grape
Nuts better thun any other kind of
food on the table. We both gained
steadily In health and strength, and
this whs caused by Grape-Nuts nnd
Pdstum Food Coffee.
-A friend of ours had a similar ex
perlence. She was seriously III with
Indigestion and could find nothing to
eat that would not give her heart burn
and palpitation, especially ut night.
She found that a small dish of Grape
NutB with cream made her a. satisfac
tory supper and gavo her a comforta
ble night's rest. In a short time she
has gained several pounds in weight."

THE MUNICIPAL LEAGUE
AND THE WATER OPINION
Discussed nt Public Mooting In Acad
emy of Music When tho lenguo
Perfected Its Organization by
Electing J; P. A. Tingley President
and W. W,' ToWne Secretary Ad
drosses by I. A. Roberts and
Reese Hughes. -
The opinion handed down by Judge
Hnlsoy In tho nnmlcltil wuter case
was plainly discussed nt the meeting
of the inunlclpal ownership league In
tho Acndeiny of Music last night. This
means that opinions unfavorable to tho
decision wore frankly expressed by the
speakers, chief among Whom wore 1j.
A. lloberts, who Is the candidate for
mayor on the third ticket and Iteese
Hughes.
. Hesides listening to these addresses
tho league transacted the business for
which th'o meeting was called, the per
fecting of the organization. This was
carried out by the election of J. P. A.
Tlngley, the druggist, as president or
permanent chairman, and W. W. Towne
as secretary.
John 13. Walsh was chairman of the
meeting, nnd after calling it to order
Reese Hughes was called-to the stage
to address tho assemblage; The au
dience was not largo; In fact the at
tendance was exceedingly meagre, less
than 50 persons being present.
Mr. Hughes urged a. deeper interest
in the movement which he commended
for Its object, the greatest good for the
greatest number. As to the opinion of
Judge Hnlsoy, Mr. Hughes expressed
the opinion that It wns somewhat one
sided. It advocated for the consolidat
ed people and it gavo them all there
was In It. It riled him wonderfully, he
said, when ho read It, and some people
were so thunderstruck that it drove
them under the ground. The people are
still here, though he declared, and they
would hold all they had, come what
would. Ho urged the league to stick
together and to carry the case to the
court of last resort to win out in tho
light against tyranny and degradation.
Mr. Roberts wus also called upon by
the chair. In his opening, he reiterated
what he said at' the last meeting with
reference to. the attitude of the Consoli
dated Water company as he and his as
sociates in the municipal water light
regarded it. In discussing the opinion
of Judge Halsey, Mr. Roberts said he
felt it was an outrageous decision. As
a layman he couldn't say as to its legal
aspect, but ho believed it to be the
worst opinion that could be written.
He criticised tho opinion for its fail
ure to deal with the question, of the
purity ;of the supply on the West Side,
when tho judge himself visited the
source of tho supply and observed tho
manure that had been carted there
upon. The opinion may bo honest, lie
said, but It doesn't look so, a belief
which was shared by the majority of
the people of Carbondale.
Mr. Roberts also discussed the opin
ion of the court as to the sacredness of
the rights of tho Consolidated Water
company, taking exception to the rul
ing by pointing out this company forc
ing the Rushbrook company out of Jer
myn byt ruinously cutting rates. If the
Consolidated company could do this
with impunity, why not the poor people
of Carbondale.
Mr. Roberts gave the assurance that
the case would be appealed to the Su
preme court whether or not counsel ad
vised such a course. It was expected,
he said, to obtain u favorable decision
in the Supreme court. In conclusion
Mr. Roberts urged u deeper Interest in
the movement of the 'league, which
was to be wide in its scope, looking af
ter tho interests of the city in every
direction.
Chairman Walsh also made an ad
dress In which he pitched Into coun
cils, declaring that tho league was go
ing to elect "honest couneilmen."
Tho next meeting will be February
1U, when John J. Hart, of Scranlon,
will be the speaker.
Another point which Mr. Roberts laid
stress on in a brief talk after his first
appearance was that If Judge Halsey
was sustained according to his
own opinion Carbondale could go
ahead and condemn the Fallbrook Wat
er company's plant, purchase It and
by so doing have a water system ready
for service. This would perhaps bo bet
ter even than the plan iVow proposed,
namely the erection of a new plant.
In the event of Judge Hulsoy being re
versed, then Carbondale could proceed
as Intended when tho Injunction was
applied for. In cither case municipal
water seems a certainty.

lutely, so that before many years had passed over

libor earned its wage and capital its return,
more about the possibilities of our magnlliccnt

STEEL CORPORATION
The Trust Refrained from Advanc
ing Prices Xast Year Outlook
for the Future Is Bright.
Dy Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
New York, Jan. 29. A preliminary
report, covering the operations of tho
United Stntes Steel corporation since
It came into existence ten months ago,
was made to the stockholders toduy. It
was a forerunner to the more extended
resume to be submitted at the annual
general meeting on February 17, and
was designed to familiarize tho share
owners with the financial status of the
company and the trade situation in the
market where it buys and sells.
Tho report, signed by both Charles
M. Schwab and Albert If. Gary, de
clared present business and future
outlook viewed ahead through 1802, to
be highly satisfactory. The report
said:
The outlook for the J car VXrX is very bright.
Everything indicates that alt of tho facilities of
each subsidiary ccinpiny will bo taxed to their
utmost to supply the demand tiiat H being
made. The actual bu-iness now booked and ct
which shipment is being called for fjter than
it can be supplied amounts to mora than half
tho total combined annual capacity of all tho
companies. Tho heavier product! lllco rails, bil
lets, plates and Hruet11v.1l material are sold up
to the productive capacity of the mllN until
neatly the end of tho year. In the moio highly
lliiikheil products the consumption hi each cato
is greater now tlmu at tho coricsiiondliig period
lu 1001 which it tlioulJ bo remembered was nil
abnormally lieaty year. Tito expectation, there
fote, of those closely loimcttcil with tho iiunii
facturo and salo of theso highly finished product 1
is for 11 demand even larger than that oE lWt
aud up to tho limit ot pioduutloii,
Discussing prices, the report said that
they could have been advanced, but It
was decided to bo better policy to re
frain from doing so, Tho reference to
prices follows, In part:
The demand for products has been to icat
that prices could Willy Into been advanced.
Indeed higher ptlces hate been tolunlarlly of
fered by customers who wero anxious for tho
Immediate execution of orders but tho companies
luito llrruly maintained tho pivitluii of not ad
vancing prlcrs, bellotlnj that tho existing prlies
wera mfllicrnt to yield a fair return op capital
and maintain the propel ties In wlhficloiy phy.
flcal condition ard that the collah-i.il advan
tages to bo gained in tho lone; 11m by rcfusln;,
to advance prices would bo ot (ubstauti.il and
lasting value not only to the compinles but also
to the general buslneaj iutcrttB of tho country.
Tha report asserted that this policy
as to prices haij not only a reassuring
effect upon tho trade, but contributed
to tho restoration of conlldenco In tho
general business situation,
Tho report said that sreut progress
had been made in the general plan to
harmonize tho work of tha many plants,
to sepure perfect co-operation und to
effect economy in manufacture, but
that the end hud not been reached and
moro favorable results might still be
accomplished. Tho departments of oro
mining, coal mining, coke manufacture
und lake transportation, the report
stated, have been thoroughly systema
tized and the managements of manu
facturing plants have been brought Into
closer relationship. Advantage has been
taken of tho cheapest distribution In
