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

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

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

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,

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

Last of the Brockway Series.
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. The pcrfoimancc closes with a some
what risque travesty upon Mormonlsm which is
very funny and handsomely costumed. The "So
cial Maids" will be at the Star today and tomor
row afternoon and evening.
Prank Keenan.
"A tiiumph in dramatic art" has become
technical with Clitics and newspaper men in des
cribing Prank Kienan's work at the close of the

save the ticking of the old office clock on the
mantel piece. The wciie is a most impicA-lvo

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

pleasure than tho performance ot the

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."

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
(t'ndcr this heading short letters of interest
will be published when accompanied, fen publica
tion, by the writer's name. The Tribune eloes not

Theory and Principles of Pumps.
Kditor of The Tribune.
Sir; I have been approached by a perplexed in
quirer in regard to the theory, principles and
workings of pumps; but still my intelligent friend
will not give In that lie is entirely wrong in his
arguments. Probably be might understand it bet
ter in print, and I guess tho Scranton Tribune
will not have the slightest objection to its pub
lication. 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?

Such Is not the cave. Yum i urrcvpoudi nt le

It is not customary lo have) four jud.'is und it

that ho made an erior, and the judges state that

Hut to quell tluvuiiplcagautnos that is begin
