ANOTHER WASHERY
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Was the Finest in This Region and
Its Destruction Caused a
Loss of $35,000.
f IRE BELIEVED TO
BE INCENDIARY
Washery Wti3 Known ns the Ca
pouse and Was Situated in Keyser
Valley It Was. Owned by the
Scrnnton Coal Company Firo Was
Discovered Soon After the Hen He
turned to Work After the Noon
Hour Recess Building Was En
tirely Destroyed Will Bo Bobuilt
at Once.
Tim Capoti.se wushcry of the Scran
ton Coal company, u branch ot the On
tario and Western coal department,
was totally destroyed by flic yesterday
afternoon. The loss Is nbout $35,000,
The origin of the fire Is unknown, but
It Is strongly suspected It was caused
by an Incendiary. 1
T'te wnshery was located along the
Keyser Valley branch of the Ontario
and Western road, about one hundred
yards north of the Cnpouso breaker,
commonly called the Brlggs. It was
built two years ago, and -was the
largest and best equipped washery In
the region, holding the record for out
put 36,000 tons In a month.
It was thrown Idle by the strike, but
on July 14 stnrted up with a force ot
non-union men, mostly foreigners. The
force was Incrensed right along until
it reached sixty, the maximum number
required to work the plant to Its full
est capacity,
Thursday was pay day, and several
of the men were off or incapacitated.
Yesterday, however, all hands were on
duty. At 12 o'clock noon the washery
machinery was shutdown to allow the
men to go to dinner, which Is served to
them in the colliery carpenter shop,
some distance away. Foreman Elijah
Miller remained at the washery while
Assistant Foreman Peter Bannon and
the men were at dinner. A little before
1 o'clock the men came back and dis
tributed themselves to their posts, to
be ready to begin work when the ma
chinery started at 1 o'clock.
SAW THE FIRE.
Assistant Superintendent Itannon
looked about the washery for a little
while, after coming from dinner, and
then started down the conveyer line
towards the point where a gang was
engaged in shoveling. He had gone
only 300 feet, when he saw that the
machinery had suddenly stopped. Looking-back
towards the washery he dis
covered" it belching forth flame and
smoke, and saw the men jumping
through windows and in other ways
making hurried exits.
The fire burned slowly but surely, and
by the time the two West Side Are
companies arrived it was a total loss.
At 3 o'clock a pile of charred wood,
covering a mass of what was expensive
machinery, was all that was left of the
"star" washery of the upper anthra
cite region.
The best information obtained by
Superintendent J. F. Cummlnss' in
vestigation Is that the Are started in
an open space under the "Jigs" and
Just above the engine room. It is evi
dent It started some place not gener
ally frequented, as it was beyond all
control before anybody discovered it.
In this space above the engine room
Is found the only dry timbering about
a washery. Every other portion of a
washery is continually saturated with
the water Used in cleaning the coal. A
stairway reached by a door on the
L northern side of the wnshery, used only
by the oiler, leads to the open space
z above the engine room. There were
watchmen about the washery, but In
the daytime, particularly, their vlel.
lanee was doubtlessly relaxed by reason

NOT ACCIDENTAL.
Superintendent Cummlngs refuses to
entertain, for even a moment, the Idea
that the (Ire was accidental,
"Had the fire occurred at 4 or B
o'clock In the afternoon," said he, "I
would not deny but that a hot Journal
might have caused it, although such n
thing is extremely unlikely. This Are,
however, happened only a few minutes
after the machinery had been at rest
for a full hour. A journal at rest will
cool in less than an hour." !
Foreman Miller could throw no light
on the matter. He spent the noon hour
In the washery, but did not notice any
one approaching It. He did not notice
any signs of ilie when he started for.
dinner, after the men 'Tturned. I
The fnct that a wnshery was never !
known to take lire until a week ago
yesterday, when the Bellevue washcry
of the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western company was totally destroyed, '
lends color to the suspicion that tha ,
blaze was of incendiary origin.
General Superintendent Bryden, Pec-
rotary F. E. Piatt and various other
ofilclals of the company were on the
ground early, but found nothing to do .
except watch the lire take Its course.
They said the washery would be rebuilt
at once.
The boxes of two Ontario and West
ern gondolas loaded with culm, which
were standing under the chute, were
badly burned before an engine hauled
them away.
FIRE-FIGHTERS AT WORK.
Superintendent Ferber, ot the bureau
of fires, personally directed the work
of extinguishing the flames. The wood
work was all ablaze when the firemen
reached the scene, a quarter of an hour
after the alarm was sounded, and the
only thing they could do was pour
water on the pile of burning debris, so
ns to possibly save some ot the ma
chinery. Water was seemed from the
Capouse breaker, which is supplied by
a private reservoir. The breaker ma
chinery pumped water to the Franklin
englne.whleh In turn pumped It through
twin lines of hose to the blaze.
The Keyser Valley Hose company, or
rather, former members, saw the blaze
from their club house, corner of Jack
son street and Keyser avenue, and sent
in the alarm from Box 327. They could
do nothing towards saving the wash
ery, however, as they have no appar
atus, other than an old reel with a few
hundred feet of hose.
Numerous small fires started on the
culm bank, which Is strewn with chips,
roots and other inflammable material.
The washery hands were put to work
extinguishing them with palls of water.
Captain Williams, Lieutenant Davis
and a squad of patrolmen hurried to
the lire, but had nothing to do more
than keep children fiom getting In the

DEATH OF CHARLES D. WINTER.
He
Was Ono of Jerrnyn's
Most
Prominent Citizens.
Charles D. Winter, senior member of
the well-known Ilrm ot C, D. Winter &
Co., and a man widely known through
out the valley, died at his home on
Main street, Jermyn, nt 4 o'clock yes
terday afternoon, his death being duo
to an attack of apoplexy, with which
he was seized while leading a prayer
meeting In the Methodist Episcopal
church on Wednesday evening.
From the time ho was stricken down
he remained unconscious and passed
away without being able to speak or
recognize the members of his family.
There has seldom been a death in a
community that has caused such pro
found sorrow as the death of Mr. Win
ter has to the people of Jermyn. He
was a man who never failed to gain the
respect of those he came in contact
with, nnd was always the first ono to
offer consolation or say a kindly word
when lt was needed. Deceased was
born In Blakcslee, Monroe county, May
24, 1851, and came to Jermyn in 1871,
when he entered the employ of John
Jermyn iu clerk In his store, where, by
his faithfulness to duty and business
foresight, which has since served him
so well, he became manager, a position
he continued to hold until August 24,
1881, when he opened up the general
store which has since borne his name
and of which he was the active head.
Ho was a faithful and devout Chris
tian and cnrrled his Christianity into
his everyday life. For twenty-nine
years he had been superintendent ot
the Methodist Episcopal Sunday school
and was the main pillar of both the
churqh and Sunday school, being presl-
washcry
dent of tho board of trustees. He was
also president of the Lackawanna Sun
day School association and a director
of the First National bank, of Carbon
dale. He Is survived by his wife, three sons,
Prank, Arthur and Charles, and a
daughter, Jessie, to whom the sym
pathy of the whole town go out in their
sudden affliction. Three brothers and
a sister, Robert, of Manhattan, 111.;
Henry, of Dakota, Minn.; G. Hiram, of
Coal Glen, Jefferson county, and Mrs.
Graham Waring, of Scranton, also sur
vive him.
The funeral will take place at 2
o'clock on Monday afternoon. Services
will be held in the Methodist Episco
pal church and will be in charge of the
pastor, Rev. M. D. Fuller, D. D who
will be assisted by former pastors of
the church. The remains will be ex
posed to view at the home on Monday
morning and at tho church after the
service. A fact that lends additional
sorrow to Mr. Winter's death Is that
Philip Baker, another member of the
firm, lies seriously HI at his home with
typhoid fever.

In selecting a lobster, the rock lob
ster with blael: spots on tho back Is
considered best.
An excellent accompaniment for cold
or warmed over meat or llsh Is Turk
ish rice.
Wash one cupful of rice In three
waters. Put in a stew pant with ono
cupful atrulned tomato, two cupfuls
cold water, two tablespoonfuls butter,
one teaspoonful of salt and two
ounces finely chopped hnm. When it
begins to boll push back on stovo
where the contents will barely simmer
for about forty minutes. At serving
time turn the rice Into a warm dish,
taking care not to break It.
Never boll llsh In cold water and
never pour boiling water on It. Put
Into scalding water (not bubbling).
With white, dry llsh, butter sauce
Is best.
With the daik llsh use sauce tar
tare. All baked fish need basting every
two minutes.

IEWS OF
A WOMAN
A.
CHARMING lady writes asking
some information about card
etiquette in Scranton, and by this
no chance masculine reader need con
jecture that she has in mind either
whist, "five hundred," or Bridge. I
don't wonder that any stranger coming
to the city is bewildered as to the cor
rect procedure as recognized here, be
cause, while it is frequently the re
verse of that in vogue in other cities,
It Is a rather go-as-you-please rite at
all times.
The new comer to Scranton may be
assured one one point at least: There
are few snobs here and they are so
dull and uninteresting that it needn't
distress one. They (lock together and
confine their attentions rather exclu
sively to their own kind and hence
aren't so much of an infliction as if
they were more widely disseminated.
The new comer, If she is not a pusher
nnd lives here ten years more, or less,
will be pretty apt to acquire a very
nice group of friends. Or if she Is
lucky and happens to know anybody
who ever knew anybody else In a cer
tain circle, she will find herself re
ceived with open arms and the rest Is
easy.
There was a time when prompt con
nection with n prominent church was
an entering wedge to excellent stand
ing In society, but the church people
have taken Industriously to saving
their own souls and sewing for the
heathen and haven't much time for the
stranger within their gates.
As to card etiquette, this Is a city
which is alleged to follow to some de
gree the customs of New York, and yet
there Is a laxity of social observation
which Is certainly unlike any other
town of pretensions on the map.
There Is a very general nnd genial so
cial intercourse ns naturally must be
the case where everyone knows every
one else, and therefore a delightful lack
of formality prevails. The require
ments are not very rigid. If a lady
does not meet alt her social obligations
with the most painful precision It Is
not held against her In the judgment
day of tho weighing of good breeding,
Everyone Is so busy here that all sorts
of allowances are made and all sorts
of Improbable excuses are accepted.
One of tho oddities of our social life
which Interests strangers Is tho cus
tom of "tea calls." Almost everywhere
else the person who receives a card to
a tea Is not pxpected to call thereafter
ar an acknowledgment of the courtesy;
neither Is the hostess. The Invitation
Is n call, the response, whether In per
son or by card on tho day of tho tea,
Is another. Not so In Scranton. The
guest Is expected to call theieafter us
soon as convenient, nnd thus compli
cations are ndded to the demand mado
upon a person's time. Perhaps the
course Is justifiable since most of the
so-called tfas are really elaborate ve.
ceptlons well worth u party call. It Is
rather a pity that they have so far
deviated from the original Idea of
"Come in and drink tea with me at
four."
It has been said that we nro on a
sliding scale In America nnd that no
ono knows with thorough exactltudo
where he stands socially, as every one

Don't use broom npllntn to toM n.

The best sauce for beefsteak is con
sidered to bo mallro d'hote! butter.
This Is made of 11 heaped tablc
spoonful of tho best butter, to which
the jutco of half a lemon and half a
teaspoonful of minced parsley havo
been added.
Onions fried crisp nnd tender ,by
soaking In cold milk previous to
plunging them Into hot fat are rel
ished by many as 11 garnish' for steaks.
Whllo thcro nro cheeso straws and
cheese straws, this rcclpo given by a
Now York cooking school teacher will
bo found exceptionally good:
Put one cup of flour in a bowl, make
a holo In tho center, put In'two ounces
of butter nnd tho yolks of two eggs
and work them gradually together.
Then ndd two tablespoonfuls sweet
cream or milk, a dash of cayenne,
nnd, when well mixed, four ounces
of grated cheese. Form into a ball
nnd set away on the ice for an hour.
Then put the paste on a floured
bonrd, roll It out nn eighth of an inch
thick, brush over with beaten egg and
cut In small strips.
Rinse out some pans with cold wa

With green corn' at Its best, try this
old Quaker leclpe for green corn pud

cut with a knife through the center
of the rows nnd scrape out the inside
of the kernels. Add to the pint of
prepared corn ono pint of milk, two
tablespoonfuls of sugar, two beaten
eggs and ono teaspoonful of salt
Bake in buttered tins about two
Inches thick. It "will require about
three-quarters of an hour.
Corn griddle cakes may bo prepared
in much the same way. To two cup
fuls of the milky pulp allow a cup of
sweet milk, two eggs, a tablespoonful
of melted butter, a half teaspoonful of
salt and a quarter spoonful of soda,
with Just enough flour to make a thin
batter.
Bake like griddle cakes and eat with
butter and svrup.
Corn that has been bollod can be
chopped fine and ndded to any good
griddle enke batter.

may from the humblest position rise
to the very highest. Therefore, if a
person have assumption, arrogance,,
pretension, he may assume to be a
great personage, and may by his man
ner hurt the feelings ot some humbler
persons. We call such a person a
snob and he deserves the name. It la
said that the lady who Is fully aware
of her own good birth and breeding,
who has had respectable ancestors, and
who lias always lived In good society,
Is never afraid to bow flrst, to call
first and to speak first. She knows
that courtesy is the most beautiful
virtue; that politeness should be enu
merated among the seven capital vir
tues, and she is not hurt If the person
to whom she bows does not return her
courtesy.
A great authority on social usages in
this country gives this bit of advice:
"Be not afraid If you are a new-comer
to Impress yourself upon a desired ac
quaintance by acts of civility and by
the most courteous attentions. They
will not be mlstnken for snobbery, II
neither of you are snobs."
The same authority says that it is
always proper for a younger lady to
make the first call upon an elderly one,
yet this does not advocate "push."
There are perfect Instincts In this mat
ter which should Invariably tell whera
one should not go first. In Scranton It
Is safe to say a new comer seldom
makes a first call.
As to card etiquette, it Is customary
to leave cards as In other cities, upon
all the ladles of the family, on re
turning or making a first call, and to
leave two cards of one's husband. An
effort Is made to return flrst calls with
in a fortnight. As was remarked be;
fore, 1 rigid rules are not very strictly
observed In this city, and with pa
tience nnd tact one may almost select
one's own circle ot friends and ac
quaintances. Of course, the turned down corner
of a card, like the turned down pago
In a life, is no moro revealed here, al
though tho price of pasteboard nnd
block engraving continues to be high.
After all, a certain frankness,, indi
cating a promise to meet new acquaint
ances half way Is a passport to social
success hero as elsewhere. Fast-conduct
Is not countenanced, nnd the mild
est sort of an escapade Is almost -unheard
ot In Scrnnton society. If"thcso
facts are art Intimation of crudeness
In a new city, may It be endowed' with
eternal youth. Saucy Bess.
