CORONER INQUIRING
INTO MAYFIELD FIRE
Conflicting Stories ns to Its Origin.
An Investigation Pending Until
Miller Family Recovers Miller
and His Wife and Two Children,
Who Were Fearfully Burned In the
Holocaust, at Emergency Hospital.
Mrs, Miller In a Dangerous Condi
tionBody of the Dead Child Re
covered. The dreudrul Iho nl AltiylU-ld III
which, iim related In yesterday's Trl
liunt', eleven-year-old Mabel Miller lc?r
ishcd, Is being Investigated by Coroner
Sultry, with it view of making clearer
tins peculiar circumstances or Its origin.
Four of tile .Miller family are patients
nt KiuergeiiOJ"' hospital, whither they
were taken yesterday forenoon. The
husband, Thomas Miller, his wife, their
li-yeur-old daughter Vernu mill an In
fant, hoy iiljont J year old are I lie suf
ferers. .Mrs. Miller Is In a dangerous
condition, hut the others will recover,
. Mr. Miller Is severely blistered about
the face and head and his right hand
Is so terribly burned that It Is feared
ll will be disabled, alter the raw sur
face has healed, The girl Is burned
about t)u face, and t lit Infant Is suf
fering from head contusions produced
by her striking the ground on being
hurled out of the second-story window.
Mrs. .Miller Is fearfully burned about
the body, the surface being blistered to
a raw conditio.) circling the trunk. It
will be a number of days before the
hospital surgeons will be able to pro
nounce upou'litr recovery.
Coroner Salliy was In ('arboncliile
yesterday and visited the Millers at the
hospital. The stories they tell conv-f-pond,
but differ from the McDonald
family's version of the lire. The lain, r
lived in the other half of the destroyed
dwel!!ll.i.
Miller's story to The Tribune man
Immediately after the lire yesterday
morning, and what he told Coroner
Paltry, yesterday, weie substantially
the same. About 1.1,", lie perceived the
odor of coal i;as, and taking a lamp
walked down slab's to the kitchen to
shut the door that shut off the top lloor.
The lamp began lo splutter, the nil
scattering about. It did not explode,
however. He placed the lamp on Ihe
table and returned to the upper Moor.
Immediately after he heaid an explo
sion, which he supposed was the lamp.
The blaze spread, lie said, and the
house was soon tilled with smoke. He
hustled his wife and the children out
of the second story window, except
Mabel, the girl who was cremated
alive. Pbe must have Hot confused, he
thought, and running into one of the
other rooms was suffocated before she
could make an outcry.
.Miller said that his clothing was not
set on lire with the spluttering of the
lamp. "Tile oil seemed to lly all around
and over my head," was his explana
tion. The story told by the McDonald fam
ily, who lived In the other part of the
house, was that .Mrs. Miller knocked
on tlie partition, attracting; the atten
tion of Airs. McDonald, who arose by
mistake several hours earlier than usu
al to look after the "spouse" which she
"set" in the night .for the family bak
ing. Mrs. Miller, she said, said that
the house was nil re. Mr. McDonald, on
being aroused, rushed to F.ilmunds'
hotel to call the hose company by
'phone. On his return, lie thought Mil
ler was not awakened and was not
aware of his house being ablaze, Ac
cordingly he ran around to Miller's
side to give the alarm and found Miller
standing at a window of the second
lloor.
The clrpumstainwH tlui t Impress Cor
oner Paltry as strongly peculiar are
that, accoi ding to Miller's own state
ment, the exploding lamp did not set
Ids clothing afire, and that tlicro was
no lire upstairs; that the blar.e was in
the kitchen, which was separated by n.
flight of stairs and a door from the
'i-onil flour, where all the family was.

Different Living Affects Some People
"I never diauk coffee until after I
was married," says a lady from Adulr

".My husband drank colfee and 1
1hau:jht it was nice to drink with him,
and we en.1o.ved it logeihcr. After a
while I found thai my digestive organs
weic! much disturbed, but not knowing
tin) cause, I went on drinking coffee
and glowing more wi etched each day.
"lu dlie lime, three Utile girls came
to what ought lo have been a happy
home, bui I was nervous and unhappy
myself and could not make anyone else
happy; lo my great consternation, two
of my Utile girls had spasms, and 1,
a nervous wreck, found 11 impossible
to cat anything that did not hurt my
stomach.
"I dually concluded 1 had heart dis

"I tried every medicine I heard of,
anif had different doctors treat nie, but
without benelit. 1 could not sleep half

Wen so badly burned and him' the chil

plained by Miller's version, nor that of
his wife. Another strange, circum
stance, suggested by the coroner, Is
the failure lo save the life of the
child who perished, when it was only a
two-story building, and tho blaze wits
down stairs.
The Investigations of Coroner Paltry
yesterday revealed that there was no
Insurance on the goods of Miller. Coun

PUTTING IT STRONG
But Doesn't It Look Reasonable?
This mayread ns though we Were
putting It a little strong, because It Is
generally thought by the majority of
people that Dyspepsia. In Its clironlo
form Is Incurable or practically so. Hut
we have long since shown that Dys
pepsia Is curable, nor Is It such a dif
ficult mutter- us at first appears.
Tho trouble with Dyspeptics Is that
they are continually dieting, starving
themselves, or going to opposite ex
treme or else deluging the nlreody over
burdened stomuch with "hitters af
ter dinner pills," etc., which Invariably
Increase the dlfllculty even If in somo
cases they do give a Blight temporary
relief. Such treatment of tho stotnauh
simply makes matters worse. What
the stomach wants Is a rest. Now how
con the stomach become rested, recup
erated and nt the same time the body
nourished and sustained.
This Is a great secret and this Is also
the secret ot tho uniform success ot
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. This Is n
comparatively new remedy but Its suc
cess and popularity leaves no doubt aa
to Its merit.
The Tablets will digest the food any
way, regardless of condition ot stom
ach, Tlie sufferer from Dyspepsia accord
ing to directions, Is to eat nil abund
ance of good wholesome food and use
the tablets before and after each meal
and tho result will is that the food
will be digested no matter how bad
your Dyspepsia, may be, because, as
before stated, the tablets will digest tho
food even If tho stomach Is wholly In
active. To illustrate our meaning plain
ly, If you take 1,800 grains of meat,
eggs or ordinary food and place it in a
temperature of 98 degrees, und put with
It one of Stuurt's Dyspepsia Tablets It
will digest the meat or eggs, almost as
perfectly as If the meat was enclosed
within the stomach.
The ftomach may be ever so weak
yet these tablets will perform the work
of digestion and the body and brain
will be properly nourished and at the
same time a radical, lasting cure ot
Dyspepsia, will be made because the
lnucb-abused stomach will bo given, to
sonic extent, a much needed rest. Your
druggist will tell you that ot all the
many remedies advertised to cure Dys
pepsia none of them have given so
complete and general satisfaction as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and not
least in Importance In these hard times
Is the fact that they are also tho cheap
est and give the most good for the
lensl nioucv.

These are the names of stuffs that
nre being made into dinner gowns,
evening dresses and house dresses
by fashionable Scranton. You will
notice that all of them are the sort
that cling, that tuck and pleat beau
tifully, that have in. some way a
characteristic, strongly marked, of
their own, which you don't find or
dinarily in evening stuffs.
erchiefs
Plain handkerchiefs beginning at
10c. for women, nre good enough for
every-day.
At 25c. there are two kinds. One
is known as the sheer and the other
as the heavy, and the heavy looks
to be a great deal better quality, but
"it isn't. The difference is that the
thread in the sheer is twisted harder
than in the heavy. They are about
10c. better than, usual 25c. handker
chiefs. The comparison between the 50c.
and 25c. sheer and the 50c. and 25c.
heavy is so plain that any one can
see it. The 50c. handkerchief is
worth more than double tho 25c,
and the hemstitching is done by
hand. No wonder they are so dainty
the linen and work are both
French.
