Tho os.ict iniisp of the flic Is un
known, bill the generally accepted the
oi y Is that it oiiglnatcil fiom an ex
plosion of gas In the basement of thp
Atherton store. This wns the largest
store in the liotough, and was located
nt Lackawanna and Willow stteets. It
was a thtee-storv building, IMkfiO feet
In size, and was heaily stocked with
merchandise of all kinds. Pait of the
second floor vvns occupied as nn office
by Dr. Pilce and by the Lackawnnnn
Telephone compui as a bianch px
changc. Behind the building vvns nn apparatus
for geneiating gas liom gasoline, for
illuminating pm poses. It is believed
that theie was n leak In the pipe cai ly

that the escaping gas vvns Ignited by
the flic lu the lutnace and exploded.

AN EASY WAY
To Keep Well. ,
It Is easy to keep well If wo would
only obseivo each day a few simple
lules of health.
The nil Impoi tnnt thing Is to keep
the stomach light nnd to do this It Is
not necessnty to diet or to follow a set
rule or bill ot fate. Such pampering
simply makes a eupilcloiiH appetite nnd
n feeling Hint ceitaln favorite ni tides
of food must be avoided.
Prof. Wlechold gives pretty good ad
vice on this subject! he so a: "t am
C8 yeuis old und have never had a
seilotis Illness, nnd nt the same time
my life has been lnigely an Indoor one,
but I eiuly discovered that the way
to keep healthy was to keep a healthy
stomiich, not by eating bran ctuckeis or
dieting of any sort; on the conttnry
I nlvvn.vs eat u hut my appetite cuives,
but daily for the past eight years I
have nude It a 'ptaetlce to take one
or two of Stuait's Djspepsla. Tablets
after cuch meal and I atttlbute my to
bust health for a' man ot my age to
the tegular dally use of the Stunt t's
Tablets,
My physician llrst advised me to use
litem because he said they weie per
fectly hatmless and were not a seeiet
patent medicine, but contnlned onlv the
natuial digestives, peptones nnd dMasto
nnd after using them a few weeks I
have never ceused to thank him for his
advice.
I honestly believe the habit ot taking
Stunrt's Dyspepsia Tablets after meals
is the teal health habit, because their
use brings health to the sick and ailing
nnd preset ves health to the well and
stiong."
Men nnd women past fifty yeats of
age need a safe digestive after meals to
Insuie a pel feet digestion and to wnid
off dlfcease, and the safest, best known
and most w Idely used Is Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets.
They ate found In evciy well legu

of the flic, wns all allie, nnd little in
cipient blazes weie spilnglng up nt
v.nlous points nil along the stieet for a
distance of a block.
It looked as If nothing could save the
ma lor pottlon of the town fiom de
stiuction, and piopeity ovvneis In all
diiections began to move their effects
fiom their stoies and dwellings. Super
intendent Peiber saw nt a glance that
the essential tiling to do was to check
the fuither .spread of the flames, lie
en tiered thiee sti earns connected with
the steamer and bi ought thein Into play
in the veiy storm centte of the fiie.
After a half-bom's haid work the
finy of the flames on the left-hand side
of the stieet was very materially abated
and all danger of a geneial destruction
of propei ty on the tight-hand side was
ov er.
Coucentiated Their Effoits.
It was lound impossible to save the
block ot piopeities In -which tho flie
oilginnted fiom total destruction, and
the firemen concentiated their atten
tion on the piopeities on the other side
of the stteet and in the iear, so that
bv 1.S0 o'clock all the flames had been
extinguished, and the Setanton com
panies left for homo.
All that remains of the fine buildings
In which tho fire first gained headway
Is a smouldeiing heap of chaired tim
bers. Inthe rear of the Atherton stoie
the handsome dvv piling of Mis. Muria
Wheeler wns totally de.stiojed by the
flames, as well as a small dwelling oc
cupied by Harry Spot. A number of
bains In the iear of the binned build
ings, and in very closp pioxlmlty to
them, escaped the (lames almost mir
aculously. The flames spiead ncross AYIlIovv
stieet nnd caught the two-story build
ing owned by P. J. O'Donnell and occu
pied by him ns a hotel, nnd by Miss
Ilia LlndPimnn as a nilllineiy stoie.
This building wns thoroughly gutted by
file and water, and will have to be en
tirely rebuilt.
The only building on the opposite side
of the street which wns badly damaged
by the flames was the threo-stoiy
flame stiucluio owned by John Llod
and occupied by H, U. Dush, the di ug
gist, and Joseph ti. Sehultz. The entire
fi out of this building was burned and
the stock of Mr. Sehultz badly damaged
by (lie and wnter. The latter also con
ducted a clothing stoie In the building

was almost completely ruined. Mrs. L.

IN COMMON COUNCIL.
Common Councilman II. 13. Paine
uttered a vlgoious protest at last
night's meeting of thp common branch
against granting extension of time to
sewer contractors, except In extraoidl
nary cases of emergency.
The discussion arose when a select
council resolution granting an exten
sion of five months to the contractors
for the Ash stteet sewer. In the Tenth
ward, came up for concunence. Mr.
Knoepfel, the councilman for the w.nd,
protested against the passage of the
lesolutlon, and said that theie was no
good excuse for a failuie to complete
the sewer within the oilglnal time limit.
A motion to adopt the lesolution was
put and it looked as if it would be car
lied, when Mr. Paine niose.
"It's about time we settled this tiling
once and for all," lie said. "It's about
time this city decides to make its eon
tractors live up to their contiact obli
gations nnd not keep contlnunlly ex
cusing them fiom doing whnt they -voluntarily
agree to do. I favor gmnting
an extension ot time to a conti actor In
a case of emeigency, If he can offer a
good excuse, hut this thing of letting
work diag on and then granting nn ex
tension for no reason at all, I do not
approve of."
Refened to Committee.
Mr. Paine moved that the resolution
be leferred to the sevvprs and dialns
committee for investigation, and the
motion was unanimously adopted.
The joint streets nnd bildges com
mittee repotted tluit it has selected the

which It will be necessary lo acciuho

celved and filed.

ject to what they teim the "enoimous"
