Last Night's Fire.
The wooden annex to the building- on
Jackson street, occupied by Thomas O.
Evans, the printer, was destroyed by
fire shortly before 10 o'clock last night,
and but for the timely arrival of the
firemen, there would have been a ser
ious conflagration.
Tho annex was used as a store room
for waste paper by Evans, and the
llames were attributed to spontaneous
combustion, as there was no lire of nny
kind on the premises, Tho upper part
of the structure was used as a sum
mer kitchen by Henry Horn and family.
Mrs. Horn and her two children es
caped from their apartments in their
nlg-ht clothing- and found shelter In
the police station, but their home was
not damaged. Tho loss was confined
principally to the shed-llko annex. Tho
bulldlnq: is owned by Lou H. and Wnl
ter Jones and Is fully covered by in
surance In companies represented by
H. f!. Morgan & son.
The flames were discovered by a boy
who notified Patrolman Peters, and
he turned in an alarm from box 35, at
the corner of Main avenue and Jackson
s-treet. In a few minutes hundreds of
people p-atheied on the scene, and It
was with some difficulty Lieutenant
Davis and squad kept them back.
Five Children Poisoned.
After eating some unwholesome
cheese for supper last Friday night,
Jive children of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
Loftus, of 108 Filmore avenue, be
came 111, and but for the timely ar
rival and aid of Dr. J. J. Carroll, would

ing ill, following the meal, and inves
tigation revealed the fact that the

tor administered tho proper antidotes
and brought the little ones around.
They were reported much Improved

MANY LADY OIBCUS ARTISTS.
Are to Be Seen with the Great Wal
lace Shows This Season.
Whether the spectator be a lass from
the farm or a. belle from tho social sot,
she Is sure tii ndmlro the lady perform
ers with tho Great Wallace Shows,
which will exhibit In Scranton on Fri
day, May 23,
In the circus ring Is one placo where
a woman hus an equal chance with
her male companion, As a rule sho
draws a higher salary receives, the
greater appluuse and more commenda
tions from tho management, than does
the male performer. Notwithstanding
their high salaries and the scarcity of
performers worthy of being featured
with a show of the magnitude
of the Great Wallace Show, probably
more lady performers can be teen with
that show than any other six shows.
