Till plant, which has Iktii but recently installed and h not et In complete working order, has been built under the cener.d direction of Mr. K. II. Loom!, irciier.il man lifer uf the coal department of the kackawannn rail load. Tho Hampton phut Is tdtua.tod.. in the licjscr Valley In Tn)lor horouRh, just ncro the city line of the cllv of Scrat.ton and about 214 Miles from the center of the city.

It Is to Hipply steam to a group nf the collleiles, die vashcry, and a Dodge storage pljiit that this, plant is intended. The plant conlalas nfteen air, horse-power Hancock & Wilcox boiler, a total of I.S73 hor. power arranged as shown, 'i'lie fuel la JCo. 3 iv.nhcry lnickuhcat coal reclaimed from old chimps, 'fills coal h dumped from railroid ran into the coal pockets tunning underneath the lrctle tho full length of the boiler house, it feeds directly by gravity fiom the pockets hrnURli a chute into the McChvc stokers, llotli foiced and Induced drafts are provided by blow ers and fans located in the annex to the mam boiler bouse. The Rases of combustion pass into the main flue, then through the tireen fuel economizers and into tho stack. The boiler .feed pumps aie located in the tenter of the main building. The ashes are diopped by the McCI.nr stokers Into a pit, whence they drop through the hopper doors which arc opened by the balance bandies nnd drawn into an aidi car, which Is elewtid and dumped into pockets located below- the boiler house, from which the ashes can be iliavvn into a large car, afler it has discharged its fuel in the bins in front of boiler house. 'Jlnse arc taken out and used by the railroad company for ballast, filling, etc. 'I his arrangement enables one man on eacli l-hift to take care of the ashes from tint nlint. nnd there is no wear and tear on conveyer and cleMtor applhntes. The water for the plant is hlorcd in a reservoir built or ash connote. Hie walls of the reservoir .ire 1") inchis thick and nrc iclnfoiccd by old wlie ropes which aie im bedded in the tonciele to give it stability. The f ipiclty of the refcivnlr is 500,000 gallons, and the water is t iken fiom the gcneial water ,js ttm of the D., 1j ft W. cniiipmy. The walls of tin- linln boiler house building and of the annev containing the fans and bloweis lire of brkk 1J inches thick and they arc laid on concrete found il inns. The ioof, which is at timber roirred by ciavcl looting, i-. siippm'rd by timber braies. The coil pockets .ue of tiin tier Mippiirtcd on trestlinc, lined with heavy '-' inch plinklng. The lloor is cement, liid with ju-t enough slojic 'o tint the water will drain i(I eisily when the lm-c is turned on it for the purpose of (leaning. All pipes are covered villi the highest glide covering. 'Hie interior cif the hou'c is painted with white' ilteproif liilnt; the imiliinriy and lion work aie painted bl.uk; while the exterior is painted the 11., 1.. &. W. standard led. To prnpn ly prcptie for xrnlilition and light the building is supplied with 110 good -ize win clous and equipped with electiic lights. Tho boileis ,ne nf Ilibcnck k Wihox veili'il benler tvpe. There are seven liitleries of two boilers each and one battery of a single boiler, the total capacity being 4,S7"i horse-power. Kuh boiler has two steam and water diuuis l inches in diameter and 20 feet 1 indies long, and 10 hci lions of tubes, eacn section consisting er nine w rought-iron tubes t Indies in diameter aril 3S feel long. Ihe-e aie connected to the steam and water drum by 4-Inch tubes expanded into the upper Midi, of tho hcadeis and into wrought Ptcel cross boxes on the under side of the drum. 'J he boiler is suspended at flout and nar from xv rought-iron supporting frames entirely inde pendent of the setting, thus allowing for con traction and expansion. The plant is designed to carry a working pressure of 150 pounds to the squire inch. These new- boilers dilfer from the oldci tvpes Jn hiving the headcis vertical Instead of in clined at an angle of IS degrees. The advantages i: lined fiom this form of construction are: Hist, lieductioii In lloor space occupied by the boiler, the length of a boiler having 18 tubes being (lily 111 feet 9 indies nsaln.it 2J feet in the older forms of construction. Second. Provision for access to tiie rear headers of these boilers is a Kieat deal more convenient. The back of the boiler consists of a s.vtcm of wimight-irnu doors opening on hinges exposing the headers and Iiandholo caps to inspection in dav light nnd the open air. In the older form of inclined bolder boiler it was necessary to enter a luck dumber in the brickwork through a small dnor In oidcr to get at these back headeis. Tho boiler installation at Hampton has been made with the special view to utilizing the veiy lowest giades of anthracite coal, l'eihaps the special feature of the installation mot nf note, is to far as it relate-, to the boiler-., is tho veiy complete plan for the use of lorced draft, in volving a centrally located s.vsteiu of fans mil n very elaborate s.vsteiu of air duels mid con trolling devices for cielUeilng this air under the grates of the boilers.

The hasty breakfast, the "quick lunch," the long hours spent in stooping over journal nnd ledger, with lack of exercise, all tend to the derangement of the stomach. Wheu the stomach is in a healthy con dition the feeling after a meal is one of satisfaction and comfort. Whenever there is discomfort after eating it is a sign of stomach derangement or disease, Dr Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion nud nutrition perfectly nnd permanently, The cures effected by this medicine are almost countless. I have taken one bottle of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for indigestion and liver com plaint," writes Mr. C. M. Wilson, of Yadkin College, Davidson Co., N C. "Have had uo bad spells slucc I commenced taking-your tuedlcluc In fact have not felt like The same man. Before I took the 'Golden Medical Discovery' I could uot cat an thing without awful distress, but now I can eat an tiling X wish without hav ing unpleasant feelings."

DOGS IN COLD STORAGE. Travelling to Australia in Ice Cooled Rooms to Join Antarctic Explorers. A score of dogs are on their way to Melbourne, Australia, from England, In a cold storage ship. They ha-e to bo sent In that way because they are Esquimaux dogs from tho coldest part of Russia and could not stand the hent tho ships will encounter In passing through tho tropics. Even If they -survived the trip If they took It outsldo of the cold storage rooms the heat would enervate them and leave them unlit for tho hard work they will soon have to tackle. The dogs are Intended to draw the sledges of the British party on the steamer Discovery, which Is bound on a voyage of exploration in the Antarctic, They nro strong, wonderfully trained and can drag heavy slpdges over snow and Ice at a rattling paue. Their diet Is dried llsh, which thoroughly agrees with them. They will reach Australia, before the Discovery and will bo kent In the ar tificially cooled looms until the ex plot log party Is leady to sail, For Martyrs, Not Fools.

"I want to get In, o feouree." "Are you u married man?" "I am that," was the reoly, "Very well," said th talnf, "come in, poor man. You have had jour purgatory on earth pass in." "Immediately there was another knock. "I vrant, to coma in, too," said a voice. "Are you a married man?" "Well, rather," quoth the petitioner. "I've been married three tiinej." And the good old saint, wrath in Ms eye, pointed a flaming finger downward : "(let outl Tills place is (or martyrs, not for tools!"

Matthows, Fostmnstor of Oly phnnt Was Named ns the Foie-mnn-ConBtnules Mndo Their Re ports Bridges nnd Ronds In Bad Condition Because of tho Repent Floods Constahlo Clark Snld No Deer Were Killed Out of Season In tho Eighteenth Ward. The trraiul iurv met ycsteiday morn ing and Was charged by Judge E. C. N'owL'omb. that be lur his llrst charge of that nature since he becnino .llldgc. Thetc was nothing ot a sensational na ture about It lie carefully outlined .u'iifii: i:. c. NTWco.Mii. the duties of jurors and exolulned the high nature of the work u grand juror Is called upon to perform. The sacrcd ness with which the evidence that comes before the Jury should be regard ed was also dwelt upon. The jury was sent out with S. J. Mat thews, postmaster of Olyphant, as fore man. Jurors excused were P. J. Honan and Michael Spellmnn, of Scranton, and S. D, Davis, of Jcrniyn. The cases con sidered by the jury during the day were of a minor nature. Returns -of Constables. In their reports to court yesterday tho constables of the county told of a number of bridges and roads that aie In b.id condition. In all but one case tho bad condition was due to the recent rains and floods. The exception was a road in tho First ward of Duninorc, reported by Coustnblo E. E. Swart?:, who said that one of the loads in that ward has been bad so long thut'thu con dition is chronic. Constable Fred Addison, of Old Forge, reported that David Freedman is sell ing liquor without a license nnd that Charles Jacobs is selling on Sunday. Constable John Murray, of the Sec ond xvnrd of Olyphant, reported that John Meke and wife aie conducting a tippling house. Constable James J. Kelly, of the Third ward of Winton, reported that Salva tore Ca'ppcllo is selling' without a li cense. When Constable James Clark, of the Iilighteenth ward, came forward to pre sent his report he said the roads in his bailiwick are in good condition, the laws with reference to dispensing liquors obeyed and no chlldtcn were born out of wedlock. "Any deer killed out of season?" asked the court, without the suspicion of a smile. "No, your honor," replied the consta ble with tin equally serious mcin. When another constable was sworn the judge said in the most innocent way: "Any dlfllculty In securing a drink up your way on Sunday?" "Oh, no," promptly replied the con stable. Then he bethought himself of the meaning of his reply, shifted from one foot to the other, twirled his hat around in his bunds and then with many a blush and stammer Informed the court that his vocal organs had played a trick upon him. What he meant to say was that It was impossi ble to get a drink on Sunday. The couit had to ueceut the correction. More Licenses Revoked. Eleven more of the liquor licenses attacked by the-Municipal league for Sunday selling have been revoked. They were held by the following per sons: P. J, Regan. Dunmoro; John Swallow and P. J. O'Donnell, Second ward, Oly phant; P. J. Dlskln, Lackawanna township; T, J, Langan, Eighth wurd; J. J. Padden, Seventh ward; Michael Lynett, Twelfth xvard; J. J. Flaherty. Eighth ward; George W. Evans, Fifth ward; Elizabeth Reese, Fifteenth ward; John Carroll, Eighth ward, Scranton. Regan's place was re-licensed to his former partner, William J. Bolaml. Messrs. Carroll nnd Padden applied for a renewal In their own name and were refused. M. F. Langan applied for n license for T. J, Langan's place; P. F. Flaherty applied for J. J. Flah erty's place and John Dlskln applied for P. J. DIskln's place, These three applications, together with that of Martin Ilculey, of Olyphant, ore held under ndvlsement by the court.

The Ilrockvvay series of entertainments Riven to a largo patronage at the Ljccum this winter, closed last night, with readings by George Kid die and instrumental music by the I.islerniann trio, of Kevv- York. Mke its predecessors it was of a high class and gave good sittsfaition. Mr. Itiddle read the Hugo drama "I.uerctla Ilorgla." His portraval ot the almost continu ously tcno emotion of the -rious characters in tills tragic, not to i-ay awful, htory, was truly artistic. To students of Hugo it was i raio tieat. His casual renders inich have been bet ter sillsfled with something relieved by at least one laugh. However, there was no dissatisfac tion, though there were hopes expressed that when he conies again ho will be heard in a Mi lled programme. Paul I.islcrmann, violinist; 1'ranz Listcrminn, violineclilst, ami Misa lllleti llerg.l'.iikjn, pianiste, crmpiLsed the t.lsterminn trio. They rendered tolos, duos and trios and accompini ments to Mr. Iliddle'se reading. Their pla.vlng did not evoke much enthusiasm. One Felcctlon won the distinction of not receiving a single hand clap or any other demonstration of applause. The De Vonde Company. Tew- lepertolro companies that come to this city are greater favorites than the Chester He Vonde Stock company which last night began a two weeks.' cngigcinent at the Academy of .Music. The play presented last night was the four-act drama. "The World's Great .Mjstery," which is one, of absorbing interest nnd was last night given in an excellent manner by a company head by Chester He Vonde. This aiteroon the company will be seen in "The Counterfeiter's Paughlrr" and tonight "Ten Ton Pool" will be the attraction. "Social Maids" Company. The "Social Maids" Ilurlcsnuc company, which has been heralded as one of the best attractions of the season, began a three days' engagement at the Star theater yesterday afternoon and was greeted by a full house. The "Social Maids" scr tainly fulfilled the promises of .Manager Her rlngton in the matter of excellence and gave the bent entertainment seen at the Star since the xlsit of the famous "Transalantics." The chorus, which is one of the hinclsomrst and best gowned upon the road, is led by .losette Webb, the well known soubrette, who spent last unnnier in Scranton; Olllc Omega and Nellie Kenton, and is up-to-date in every particular. Tins olio It composed of novel acts by Kddie Haves and Morn W,vnnc; Marcena and Smith, acrobats; I)r;;int and Urcnuan; Kmerson and Omega, and Johu A, West, the musical Iirovvnle. The spjiial acts arc intcisperscd with beauti ful and artistic living pictures that evoked hearty npplait.se.

Thetc Is none of us so hardened but that when we luivo been nblc to aid our fellow creatures by conferring a benefit or bringing n little comfort into their lives wo like to have minrcelatlon shown. This generally affords more pleasure than tho performance ot the net Itself, nnd in this connection the following letter from n Purls, Texas, lady is of more than usuat Interest: "Dear Friends! I nddrcss you as such, for you have been such to me. I suf fered for three years off and on with piles. I was treated nt the hospital, and tho new nnd elegant hospital, of Memphis: they only gave me tempor ary relief. I came west, thinking the change ot nlr und water would benefit mo; live months ngo the bleeding piles came buck on me, and bled so much that 1 thought I would die. T have had four of the finest doctors lu this section of Texas: nil they did xvas to finally nearly let me go to my grave; all they wanted was a big sum of money from ino and to operate on me. 1 said no, no surgeon's knife would enter me; It it was my time to die God knew it, nnd when I died I would die all together. I began hearing about your medicine. I had no faith in you, but I sent und got a box of your Pyra mid Pile Cine; In two days the blood flow had slackened to one-half the amount, nnd In one week I felt so much better I walked four blocks and did n little housework. I was not bleeding then; In three weeks I was well. God bless you for putting such n wonderful medicine within the reach ot suffering men and women. I shall never cense lo recommend your medi cine or be without It; also I used your Pyramid Pills. Snllle A. He.irudon." Testimony like this should be more convincing than nil claims nnd asser tions, nnd should leave no doubt In the mind of the reader us to the merit of the remedy. Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by druggists for fifty cents n pnekngp, or will bo mailed by the makers to any address upon receipt of price. Write Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall, Mich., for their book on cause and cure of piles. to is the brightest and wittiest of recent sears, the music is the catchiest nud the most tuneful ever crowded into oi c play, and for those and for many other equally as Rood reasons, no one should fail to he on bind when the curtain itses on the first act of "I'loiodora" in this city. In New York and Sin 1'r.ineiseo they are si.vlng tint to see and heir the famous double sextette in "Tell Me, Pretty Maiden" i.s alone worth the price of admission. STAGE NOTES.

The forms of construction of pumps, and the mode in which they are applied, arc necessarily very numerous, cl, so far as their principles are concerned, all aie clearly referable to one of four classes: The clicking pump, the forcing pump, the lifting pump and the centtl fugil pump, The sucking pump, suction or lilt pump, con sists of a cj Under, called the barrel, with a pipe at the bottom, communicating vvith the water to be raised, and a pipe at the top to receive the water raised. There are two valves in the barrel, one at the bottom and another al the top. This opens into the piston, which is moved up and down bv means of a rod connected with the han dle, whenever the requisite power is applied. When the piston is raised, tin- air in the- barrel between the valves is expanded, jud becoming rarilied c.xeits Itss pressure on the lower valve, which opens, and the whole air in the- pipo and barrel becomes less deii-e. The atmospheric prcssine on the surface of the water, about fifteen pounds to every square, inch, causes it to rise in the pipe until the tension of the confined uir becomes eiual tn the piessure of tin) atmosphere. On again deprtvdnK the piston, its valve opens, and the air passe--, throuiih it fiom the Isiriel as it descends; but the lower valve being closed by the downward pre'sure, the volume of water which has risen into tho pipe remains. On again raising the piston, a similar procerus takes place, on additional quantity of water entering the pipe. Thus, by the alternate motion of the piston, J column ot water is i.ibeil or lifted in the pipe until it leaches the piston when at the bottom of the barrel, and nil the air below it has been excluded. On raising the pis ton when tho watir his reached it, the fluid will necessarily follow il, owing to tin- atmopheilo pressure on the suiface of the brook oi will from which ft rlst-'b. When the piston is again lovveied, the water pours through its opened valve, and list's into the birrel ,and by successive slrul.es Is lifted up until It reaches and pours out of the spout. The at mospheric pressure balances a column of water thirt.v -three feet in height, hut owing to the dif fleuiU.v of making the pump perfectly ali-tlsht, it is seldom that a greater height is attained in working than twent v -flv e to thlity feet. To be brief about iti In all kinds of pump?, the total etlort required to work the mjclilnei", independently of friction, may be de.-(ilhicl j oqu.il to the weight ot a lulumii of water whose base U equal to (he area of a section of the working t,vllnder, while the altitude will (ones pond tn the distance between the siirficu of the water in the reseivolr and the point to which it is laLsed. Hive I argued the question faiily, pel plextd inquirer, or urn I right or wrong? Daniel Ctgorv, i:li uhii rt. That Duryea Debate. IMitor l 'ihe 'l illume.
