MANY ASK POR RELIEF.
Several Applicants for Aid at Meet
iuir of Poor Board Action Post-
Uff
poned on New Buildings.
Contrary to expectations, tho poor
board did not decide, 11 1 Us meeting
yesterday afternoon, to Immediately
advertise for bids for tho building of
the four new ulmshouso buildings,
which are to be elected at the Hillside
farm. Tho members have come to the
conclusion that It Is too lato tn the
year to undertake uny extended build
ing operations, and it is not likely thut
any further steps in the mutter will be
taken until next year.
A largo number ofnpplicants for re
lief appeared at the meeting and stated
their troubles to the board. Among
those who asked for aid was Mrs.
Bernnck, whose husband was recently
struck by a train and killed at Tona
wandn, N. Y. She la left with five
small children. The board granted her
temporary relief, until she receives a
small umount of insurance money
which Is due her.
Mrs. Catherine Dlmler, of 510 Irving
avenue, was granted admittance to the
Hillside Homo, but indignantly refused
to go there, and before she left the
meeting vigorously COngue-Inshed the
directors for not furnishing her other
assistance. Jacob Young, who appeared
before the board at a previous session,
and was refused exoneration from his
poor tax yesterday, proved himself
persevering, to wiv the least.
He appeared before the board, and
once more reciuested that the tax be
removed.
"How much Is It?" asked a member,
and something akin to a laugh arose
when Young answered: "Fourteen
cents." The request was again refused.
Mrs. Thomas Dickson, .of 3826 Bloom
avenue, was refused aid, as she prop
erly conies under the care of the
Wilkes-Burre poor district. The lat
ter's authorities had expressed their
willingness to transport Mrs. Dickson
to Wllkes-Barre and there look after
her, but she had declined to go back.
Her appeal for aid yesterday met with
a cold response.
There was little other business before
the meeting. Superintendent Bpemcr,
of the Hillside Home, presented his
regular report, which was accepted. It
showed that there have been seven
deaths at the furm since the last meet
ing. There are now 128 insane male
Inmates, 149 sane males, 141 insane
females, and 66 sane females.
PROPERTIES WERE FLOODED.
Ask Two Companies to Reimburse
Them for Damages.
Attorney A. A. Chase yesterday be
gan actions in trespass against the
Wilkes-Barre and Eastern Railroad
company and the Scranton Steel com
pany. John Gilmartin and John John
son are the plaintiffs, and each asks
$2,000 damages.
They allege that during the spring
Hoods the water overflowed their lands,
and that this overflow was duo to the
companies lining In the river bed, and
thus preventing, the water from flow
ing in its natural course.
DR. DONNE INJURED.
Arm Broken in Two Places by the
Kick of a Horse.
Dr. William Donne, of Oak street,
met with a painful accident, Thursday
night.
The doctor had just returned to his
home after making a professional call,
and tlelng his horse In front of the
barn, went inside to light a lantern. As
ho came out he passed by the horse,
which suddenly gavo him a vicious kick
on the arm, breaking it in two places.
The Injured member was reset by Dr.
J. J. Sullivan. '
BOY THIEVES CAUGHT.
Had Systematically. Pilfc'red from
Board of Trado Building, Where
All Were Employed.
Superintendent of Pollco Lona Day
and Detective Robert Delter yesterday
placed five youthful burglars under nr
rcst, nil of whom havo been systematic
ally stealing from tenants In the Scrun
ton Board of Trado building for sev
eral months.
The culprits arc Al. Roberts, 19 years;
Fred Motzenbackcr, 17 years; Mllo
Dolph, 18 years; Howard Griffith, 10
years, and Calvin Dowllng, 19 years of
age.
The boys were employed on the ele
vators and in offices In the building
and had access to a number of places,
and to others they forced an entrance
by prying open ofllce doors. On the
night of June 2, they entered tho wine
room of the Scranton club and ab
stracted $7.45 worth of wine.
They also carried off a chicken and
broke the doors and locks. Later they
entered the barber shop in Room 410,
broke open a case nnd took a quantity
of cigars valued at several dollars.
A revolver worth $5 was taken from
the Temple Iron company's office, and
on July 7, five umbrellas, valued at $10;
two revolvers, $17.50 and $9.50 In cash
and a dress suit case, valued at $5,
were taken from Rooms 412 und 413.
About the same time thy entered the
vault In the Lackawanna Lumber com
pany's ofllce and took $80 in money. A
number of other things have been
missed from the building. When ar
raigned before Police Magistrate Howe,
yesterday, the boys acknowledged their
guilt nnd were committed to jail with
out ball.
The round-up Is due to clever work
by Superintendent Day and Detective
Deitcr.

FIRE DESTROYS
BIG WASHERY
ORIGIN OF THE FLAMES IS A
MYSTERY,
Bellevue Washery Consumed Last
Night by a Blaze- Which 'No One
Attempts to Account for Firemen
v Make Strenuous but Futile Efforts
to Save the Building Loss Will
Reach $35,000 Had Been in Oper
ation for Several Weeks but Was
Idle Last Night.
Tho Mcllcvuo washery, owned and
operated by tho Delaware, Lackawan
na und Western company, wus com
pletely destroyed by lire last night, en
tailing a loss of $35,000 on building nnd
machinery. Tho origin of the lire' Is
shrouded in mystery, and until a thor
ough Investigation is mude the cause
cannot bo ascertained,
A cloud of smoke wus seen issuing
from tho engine room of tho washery
shortly boforo 9 o'clock, und following
It came a volume of flume. Tho watch
men employed about tho premises gave
the alarm by sounding the gong at the
Bellevue breaker, nnd this was supple
mented by an alarm from Uox 324, at
the corner of Archbald street and Cor
bett avenue.
Six men were employed In tho tower
of the wushery, making somo repairs,
when the flro broke out. They were
hastily notified and succeeded in malt
ing their escape without much trouble.
Shortly afterwards the building was
completely enveloped in flames, tho oll
soaked timbers being very susceptible
to the fire.
When the firemen arrived, they ex
perienced much difficulty in securing
water, the only stream obtainable be
ing from tho pumps attached to the
washery. This proved to be of little
service, and In consequence the build
ing was totally destroyed.
LIT UP THE CITY.
The Illumination from tho burning
washery lighted up .the whole southern
end of the city, and attracted thou
sands of persons to the scene, many
of whom were under tho impression at
first that the Bellevue breaker was
being consumed. The city police and
railroad detectives were on the scene,
together with Superintendent R. A.
Phillips, District Superintendent Evan
Evans and a score of other officials,
but they could render little service.
None of them could give the slight
est Idea as to how the fire originated.
They were positive in asserting that-no
fires of any kind were In the building.
Tho steam plant Is located several hun
dred yards away from the washery, and
the operating power was supplied
through a steam pipe lino extending
fiom the power house to the washery.
As far as could be learned' the im
pression prevailed that the fire started
in or near the engine room, but as
there was no ono In there at the time,
none of the workmen could attempt to
explain its origin. A large force of
watchmen were employed about the
premises, but they could offer no ex
planation as to how the fire started.
No demonstration of any kind was
made In or about the washery during
the evening, and not an employe or
watchman could be found who had
seen anybody about the premises who
might be suspected of having fired the
building.
The firemen worked heroically for
several hours endeavoring to extin
guish the flames, but their efforts had
little effect. The flames only died
away when the massive timbers had
been burned to ashes.
MACHINERY DESTROYED.
Much of the machinery In the washery
was totally destroyed, and a loaded car
of coal, which stood under the chute
shed, was partially burned. The wash
ery was situated far enough away from
the steam plant and breaker to prevent
the flames from spreading to either of
these buildings.
When working at its fullest capacity,
the washery had a capacity of over
1,000 tons of coal per day.
About forty men were employed
there yesterday, and 950 tons were
turned out, which is a big day's work.
It was built about threo years ago,
and has been operated almost continu
ally since. A force of men will be put
to work this morning clearing away
the debris, and work will be commenced
ns Bcysn as possible in building a new
washery.
