From llic Camden, K. 0 Messenger,
Wo' know of no way In which we can
lie of more service to our readers than
to tell them of Bomethlng that will be
of real good to them, For this reason
we want to acquaint them with what
we consider one of the very best reme
dies on the market for coughs, colds,
nnd the alarming complaint, croup.
We refer to Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy. W'e have used It with such good
results In our family so long that It has
become household necessity, jjy ts
prompt use we haven't any doubt but
that It has time and again prevented

pur own experience, and we suggest
that our readers, especially those who
have small children, always keep it In
Ihelr homes as u safeguard against
proup. Sold by all druggists.

DISTRICT BOARD OF
MINE WORKERS MET
Action in Nottingham Trouble will
Be Taken Today Nicholls
Refuses to Talk.
The trouble at the Lehigh and
AVilkes-Barre Coal company's Notting
ham mine, the new Sunday shifts In
augurated by the D., L. & W. company
for tho llremen and engineers employed
at its mines and certanl difficulties ex
isting at the Florence colliery, of the
Delaware and Hudson company, were
nil considered at a meeting of the
United Mine Workers' executive board
held yesterday in this city. Decisive
action on these matters will be taken
nt an adjourned meeting to be held to
day. The trouble at the Nottingham mine
came in for the largest share of con
sideration. Some few weeks ago the
olllclals of the Lehigh and Wllkes
Barre Co.il company discharged two
men who had been inspecting union
cards at the Nottingham. The men de
manded their lelnstatemcnt and' whpn
the ofllclals refused to accede to their
demand they went out on strike.
They went back to work, however,
pending the settlement of the matter
by the district board which appointed
a commlttc to wait on the general su
perintendent. The latter refused to see
this committee nnd tho men tvent out
a second time. Tho company then
posted a notice announcing that the
colliery has been closed indefinitely.
The refusal of the five firemen nt the
Avondnle mine of the D L. & W. com
pany to agree to the new system of
Sunday shifts, reference to which is
made lu another column, precipitated a
full discussion of this question by the
board and the action which will prob
ably be taken will be the appointment
of a committee to wait upon the com
pany ofllclals and request that the old
system be reintroduced,
The employees of the Florence col
liery of the Delaware and Hudson com
pany, located at Smlthvllle, have been
objecting for some time to an alleged
reduction of the wages of company
hands since the mine was purchased
from the Florence Coal company. Ob
jection has also been raised to a car
which the company has put into use.
It is ulleged that this car Is larger
than those formerly used and that the
pay has not been advanced In propor
tion.
District President T, D, Nlcholla ar
ilved In this city yesterday from Now
York where ho has been for a week,
having gone theie with the other dis
trlt't presidents for the ostensible pur
pose of consulting with the representa
tives of the coal carrying companies re
garding a conference between opera
tors and men for the purpose of ad
justing a wage scale and other matters
for the coming year.
When seen last night by a Tiibune
man President Nlcholls refused to have
anything whatever to say regarding
the success or failure of his mission.
He would not say whether there had
been any conference or whether there
had not been and parried ull queries
by stating that un official statement
of what had been accomplished will be
given out within a few days together
with nir"uimouneement of the time and
place of holding the next convention
of anthracite workers.

'l9le lodgers In the Daniels' nDiirt
ments on the third lloor of the AV111
iams' building were John J. Loftus,
Harry nnd George Hank, E. G. War
den, J. C. Ellison, John Moss, John Van
Miller and Charles Steadel. Each lost
personal belongings, furniture and brlc-a-brue.
Druggist Loftus carried $.'00
insurance. The others curried no in
surance. STARTED IN CELLAR.
The lire started about 1.C0 p. m. in
the cellar of the Williams" building,
directly beneath tho Jacobs & Fasold
art store. The cellar was filled with
pictures, picture frame'', wallpaper and
tho like. How the Humes had their
origin Is not known. They suddenly
burst through the lloor behind the
counter, near the center of the store
and almost dhectlv beneath thd light
and air-shaft extending to the roof of
the building.
Almost instantl.v the store room was
a solid mass of Haines and great
tongues of fire were leaping from tho
front, rear and the air-shaft at the
roof. So quick was the spread of the
flames that Mr. Jacobs had his hair
singed as he was rolling a showcase
out of the front door the onlv thing
that was saved. He .shut the safe door,
and started to get out the showcase
containing higli-clnss art goods. He
was just at the door when the flames
overtook him. It was impossible to get
back aKain.
The flames suread In all directions
fiom the air-shaft, finding n particu
larly easy course between the floors,
where there were large quantities of
shavings and chlppings, left there by
tho curpenters. They also burned
through the celling of the Jacobs &
Fasold store In several places, igniting
the flooring of the second story.
FILLED WITH FLAMES.
By the time the firemen were able to
got streams in play, the building was
1'nirly tilled with flames. After a bilef
fight, It was seen that there whs dan
ger of a big conflagration, and Super
intendent Ferber sent in a second
alarm, calling five companies to assist
the four central city companies. Hard,
well-directed work by the firemen van
quished the flumes Inside of an hour.
While the woodwork over the art store
and about the air-shaft Is badly eaten,
it might be said that the building was
saved; that Is, it will not be necessary
to rebuild It, but only to repair It. Some
damage was done to Dr. Dunnell's lab
oratory by fire, but nearly all the other
losses by tenants are due to water.
The lois In the Prendergnst store is
due entirely to water and smoke. In
the kitchen of the Young Women's
Christian association looms, on the
second floor, fire found its way through
a window, opening above the two-story
rear portion of the Williams building.
A large amount of water had to be
used to extinguish this blaze and a
goodly part or It soaked throueh into
the Prendergnst store, spiling the stock
In the store and cellar.
ACT OF HEROISM.
That the lire was not attended with n
fatality Is dup to the heroism of two
young men, Howard Davis and Walter
Jones, who were among those on the
scene at the outbreak of tho flames,
They, with others, went through the
upper floors, giving the nlarm and as
sisting In removing the portable valu
ables. After several trips they gave up, he
cause of the density of the smoke, and
stood on the street to watch the fire,
Mr, Davis saw a woman at a window
on the third floor and, followed by Mr.
Jones, dashed up the smoke-filled stair
wily to her rescue. No one knew or
even dreamed there was anyone still In
the burning building, and when the two
young men tottered out of the hallway
currying the woman, there were loud
cheers from the onlookers.
The woman was Mrs, F, L. Hancock,
who, with her husband and a llttlto
daughter, occupied four rooms on the
third floor ns a feather ornament fac
tory and living apartments. The hus
band was away, and Mrs, Hancock was
sick In bed,
At the first cry of fire she arose and
sent her little dauehter downstairs.
She, herself, did not think the danger
wns imminent and made no haste to
leave, In the first place who was very
111 and did not want to risk going into
the street, unless she hud to, and again,
as she explained afterwards, she did
not want to leave without taking 6omo
or tier belongings. When she did de
termine to leave she opened the door,
to find tho hallway filled with smoke
and flames darting out of the air-shaft.
BECAME BEWILDERED.
Then she became bewildered and does
not remember Just what happened, Tio
young men who lescued her say they
found her sitting on the sldo of the
bed ns If dazed. She wus unablo to
move and hud to be carried every foot
of the way to the fctreet. She wus cured
for by neighbors.
Captain Campbell and Permanent
Men George und Brown, finding that u
chemical sticam was of no avail on
the main part of the fire, attacked the
upper apartments from ladders, and
succeeded lu saving Mrs. Hancock's
pockelbook nnd satchel, Dr. Dunnell's
diplomas, and about ?3Q0 worth of
clothing belonging to Druggist Lof.
tus. As fate would have it, Mr Loftus
wns i ho only loilRer in the Daniels'
apartments who carried Insurnnco on
his peraomtl, property.
Architect B, Tt Lncey lost a number
of instrument, drawings and olllco
furnishings which he had Btoreil tem
porarily In the Jacobs & Fasold store.
He estimates his loss at $1,000. Frank
Hornbakcr who conducts a photo
studio on the third lloor of the Florey
& Brooks' store, also sustained some
loss from Water,
Tho big Nay Aug steamer wns pjueed
tit the double sized hydrant, nt tho cor
ner of tSprtico street and Bieck court,
nnd tho Crystal steamer nt the hydrnnt
corner of Washington nnd Spruce. Tho
Neptune engine was on hand but not
brought Into use. Ench of other two
stcamcts had four lines of hose at
tached nnd with several lines direct
froni hydrants, nn Immense volume of
water Was thrown on to the blaze,
WATER PRESSURE.
The pressure at the hydrant on
Washington avenue, where there Is it
twenty-four-inch main was 85 pounds
and the steamer tuigutncntcd this IB
pounds, The fifty pound pressure from
the ten-Inch main on Spruce street was
doubled by the steamer. With both
these powerful engines drawing water
within a half a block of euch other the
natural pressure was not diminished a
pound ut any time during the progress
of the file, according to tho statement
of Superintendent Robert Reeves, of
the Scrnnton Gas and Water company,
who had constant tabs kept on the In
dicator at tho company's oltlee.
The first alarm brought out Engine
company No. 1. Chemical company No.
1, Engine company No. 1, nnd Hook and
Ladder company No. 1. These hnd fif
teen men besides bunk und cull men.
The second alarm brought Engine com
pany No, 2, Chemical company No. .",
and Hose companies Nos. 4 and C with
seventeen men. There were thirty
two permanent men and twenty-five
bunk and call men at work at the
fire.
That the firemen wore able to not only
prevent the spread of the flames to
the adjoining buildings but to confine
them to a portion of the building In
which they otlglnated was the highest
commendation of the onlookers.
The cool, business-like way In which
Superintendent Ferber went at Ills
task was almost aggiavatlng. He ab
solutely refused to become excited and
actually did not even carry a trumpet.
ONLY ONE FROZEN.
Superintendent Ferber said lust night
that the stories afloat about frozen
hydrants were not correct. The only
one frozen wns that at Wiishlnntou
nvenue and Linden street, which has
been leaklnc; for some time and which
he some time ago made arrangements
to have removed.
This hydrant was not needed, but as
a precaution he ordered it thawed out
as soon as the fire began. The Only de
lay in lighting the fire from the be
ginning, he said, was a slight one,
caused by an error in coupling up the
big Nay Aug steamer.
This Is the fourth time that Mr. Wil
liams hns been a severe sufferer from
flie. Fifteen years ago, a building
at No. 19 Lackawanna avenue, owned
by himself and his partner, his brother,
Robert Williams, was badly damaged
by a blaze which was of supposed in
cendary origin.
In the big avenue fire of .April 21,
1S98, the Shoplnnd building containing
the store of J. D. Williams & Bro., and
the adjoining Ladwlg building were
totally destroyed. February 7, 1901, in
the Are which destroyed the Henwood,
Matthews, Norton, Crane and Walsh
buildings, the firm had the misfortune
to have nearly $10,000 worth of goods
stored in the cellar of the Henwood
building, which adjoined their own,
and a total loss of this amount was
the consequence. The building burned
yesterday, owned Individually by J. D.
Williams, was badly burned eight
years ago, entailing a loss of $3,.'0O.
Mr. Florey, of Florey & Brooks, has
also boen unfortunate in tills respect.
He lobt a big stock or goods, valued
at $4,000, in the Y. M. C. A. building
lire February 3, 1S9S, and through a
technicality was unable to collect more
than 4."00 insurance.
Jacobs & Fasold will re-establish
business in a temporary quarters. They
began business together only last June
and their large stock was bran new.
Ladies of the Y. W. C. A. served cof
fee to the firemen on the third floor of
the Jones Brothers.' building.
LEAGUE STILL ACTIVE.
Three Dunmore Saloonkeepers Ar

500 Bail Each.
The Municipal league Is still after the
liquor men. Three arrests wore made

ings and entered bull in the sum of $500
each,
Coleman was given a hearing before
Alderman Ruddy early last evening.
Two league detectives testified to hav

most fashionuble and select, and Its at
tractiveness Is unsurpassed. For di
version there is driving, golfing, walk
ing, polo, cycling and the like, while
the more social pastimes have many
devotees. Lakewood's hotels are mar
vels of comfort, convenience and hos
pitality, and one interested In unique
resorts should have the New Jersey
Central's Lakewood Booklet, just out
and replete with authentic Information.
Send for It to C. M. Burt, G. P. A.,
