ADVOCATE A MARKET HOUSE Pursuant to the actiou of Uonuoil Friday night the ourb stone market Saturday morolug lined up ou Lower Mulberry street. Oharch street was named in connection with Lower Mul berry atreet, the intention of Oouucii being that when the latter thorough fare wai Slled the line of wagons ahonld extend southwardly along Oburoh street. It developed Saturday morning that the usual turn out of farmers at this season of the year oan be aooommodated on Lower Mulberry ■treet. The row of wagons nicely fill ed tbe space between Mill and Church street!, but did not extend beyond it. Tbe farmers took the matter very good uatnredly, although they made BO secret of it that they were not ill love with the new quarters. They con aider their position on Lower Mulberry street too mnoli exposed, both to tho son and rain. They have become ac ouatomed to the awnings of Mill street and are looking very hopefully for ward to the day when they may be permitted to return to the latter street. Quite a number of farmers along With some town people were heard ad vocating the erection of a market bouae and it Is not uulikely in these daya of municipal improvements that a aentimeut in favor of this enterprise will grow peroeptibly (luring the next tew mouths. Soveral available sitos bave been suggosted and some figuring baa been done to show what a return looh an investment might yield. During a politioal campaign a straw vote isn't even good straw.

RUSSIAN CRUISERS IN CHINESE PORTS PARIS, Aug. 24. -There is reason to believe that t» decision is about to be taken providing for the voluntary disarmament of the Russian orniser Aakold and the torpedo boat destroyer Grozovoi, now at Shanghai and the Ruakian oruiser Diana at Saigon. This will be done primarily to avoid international complications and will bave the effeot of reducing the Rus sian strength by three strong units, bnt the Russian authorities consider that this will be offset by the avoid anoe of the possible capture of the ves sels named by the Japanese. Advioes reoeived here from Saigon sbow oontrary to previous announce ments, that the Diana is in a very bad eondition. She iiad one large hole iu ber lioll below the water lino. Her Injuries will take weeks to repair. This would have permitted an exten sion of her sojourn in a neutral port beyond the twenty.four hours which expired yesterday, but it is foreseen tbat the repairs would entail such stay at Saigon that it is possible that questions affecting the neutrality of the port would be likely to arise, and therefore Russia is disposed to disarm tbe Diana, whioli thereafter will re main at Saigon during the war. The final determination iu tho mat ter has not yet been taken but tho tondenoies are strongly as indicated. II is expeoted that the action to be taken at Shanghai and Saigou will re lieve the oases of international sig nificance and practically closo them. Annual Ficnio.

Nickerson, President of tho Suubury Trust and Safe Deposit < Company, and oue of that city's fore- ( mo.Ht citizens, died suddenly at his < homo, Aroh street, shortly after mid- 1 night Tuesday morning. Death is at- * tributed to Bright's disease. 1 The decoasod for many years was a « rosideut of Dauville, holding a posi- 1 tion as train despatchor for tho Dela ware, Lackawanna and Westoru rail- | road company. Ou the lfitli of Decem ber, 1809, lie woddod Miss Elizabetli 1 Woods of tins city, who with three daughters, Misses Mary, Gertrude and Ruth, survive him. For a week or more Mr. Nickerson eomplained slightly of not feeling well, hut lie attached no importance to tho fact, and the members of his family, as well as his friends, were not awaro of his truo condition. On Monday lie seemed to bo in good health, and was at his post of duty at the b.uik during the entire day. After supper ho returned to tho bank and was busy in his private oflico until al most nine o'clock. Upon his return homo he complained of foeliug tired and worn out. He lay down ou tho couch and soon fell asleep. His heavy breathing attracted the attention of liis daughters, who wore iu the ad joining room. Thoy attempted to arouso him hut were unable to do so, finding him in a somi-conscious state. Mrs. Nickerson, who had been out spending tho evening, arrived homo at about this time,and immediately sum moned medical assistauco. Drs. Ston or.Swenk and Oressinger responded to the call,and did all known to the skill of their profession to roliove him, but with no success, the patient sinking slowly but surely, until the Angel of Death came shortly aftor tho hour of midnight. Charles W. Nickerson was aged 6ft years and 25 days. He was born at Steubonsvillo, Ohio, July 28, 1838. — His parents, who were of English do cout died when ho was but olevon years of ago. By this unavoidable state of circumstances he was thrown upon his own'resourcos to battle with the stern realities of tho world. Aftor speuding several years in his native town, Mr. Nickerson made his way to Philadelphia, where he secur ed a position iu the oflice of the Oity Register. Ho remained there for some time, and then wont to Elmira, N.Y., where he engaged with much success, in various pursuits. Mr. Nickerson next located in Dan ville. Some years later lie went to Northumberland where ho took up tho coal busiuess, being tho special agent of the Scott Coal Company of Erie,for this district. Ho remained there only a short time, removing to Sunbury to continue iu tho same business until 1890. Realizing that Sunbury was large enough to afford a second hanking in stitution, he set about to accomplish the organization of another bank and with a number of others applied all oi his energies in that direction and the formation of The Sunbury Trust and Safe Deposit Oampany was tho result ' of their labors. Mr. Nickerson was elected president and served in that capacity continuously until the date of his d«ath. His career in the bank ing world has been crowned with most signal success and the eminence to which he so ambitiously aspired, has been happily reached. During the civil war Mr. Nickerson enlisted in a company that went to the front from Wililamsport and took part in several engagements, tho most uotablo of which was the battle of Fredericksbrug. He was a member of the Masonic and Knights' Templar fratornities. Those who knew Mr. Nickerson but suporfioially might lie inclined to re gard him as stem; but he was stern only in holding fast to that which he believod to be right; iu very truth, ho was a man of kindly heart. His nob lest traits were shown only to his nearest friends, becauso in all his movements he was unostentatious. Iu busiuofs he was a forceful factor, en terprising and progressive; and iu all his relations in life,he realizod a high typo of manliness as husband, father, friend and citizen. The Giant's Loop Looper. This season tho Adam Foropaugh and Sells Brothers united shows aro exploiting throe distinctly dift'ercut and equally inimitable cycling feats: that of Prodigious Porthosin vaulting awheel across a chasm fifty foot in width; of "Cyclone," the cycling paradox, who spirally ascends tho ab solutely perpendicular iuteiior of "Tho Devil's Chimney" on his biko, and of Diavolo looping the loop. Whon they introduced the latter uchievcment at Madisou Square Garden and in Philadelphia it created a gen uine popular furore,and elicited more piaise and was given moro pictorial and descriptive spaco in the nowspap , ors of those cities than any previous i areuic sensation ever presented there. In the performance of this reckless- I ly daring and dumbfounding triumph i over gravitation's edict, starting from the apex of the canvas dome, Diavolo makes a wildly swift dash down a nar row, dangerously stoep incline on a bicycle, thus gaining a comet-like , momentum which carries him up and around the loop at "Empire Stato Kx i press" speed At the top of tho loop both tho rider i and wheel are upisde down,and in the i twinkling of an eye complete the cir cuit, to resume their normal position. The-thtee marvelous wizards ot the wheel named will appear at each per formance of the big show atShamokiu on Monday, August 2Uth. A Fortunate Young Landy. Miss Jenuio Martin, 176 North Paul St., Rochester. N. Y., says: I suffer ed long from kidney complaints—home physicians and their medicine failed to afford 1110 relief. A friend induced mo to try Dr. David Kennody's Fav orite Remedy made at Rondout, N. Y. The effect .was wonderful. By tho time I had taken two bottles I was cooiuplotely 011 rod and have had no trouble since. RESERVES m FROM CATAWISSA The Old-Timer Reserves, who play ed Oatawifsa at DeWitt's Park Satur day,gave an exhibition of old-fashion ed base ball by defeating the Cats wissa aggregation by tho score of 4 to 2. It was a good game between good teams and that Dauville won out was not due so much to any markod de ficiency in the visitors' playing as it was to the all-around remarkably good work of tho Old Timer Hcservos.

Piro today destroyed a fivo story brick tenement house in tho Williamsburg section of Brooklyn and over fifty families nar rowly escapod with their livos. Four alarms wore sounded, and most of the Brooklyn lire fighting apparatus was callod into service. Early reports of loss of life could not at once be substantiated, the flames being so hot as to drive back tho res cuing parties. The blazo apparently started in tho front of the center tone nient and spread in both directions and then to the rear. The hallways quickly were filled with smoke and many of tho occup ants had to escape over the buildings in the rear, which also soon caught fire but it is beileved all escaped. One fireman was slightly injured. The loss is estimated at $20,000. RUSSIA MUST IGNORE CHINA ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 24, 8:30 a. iu.—Tho Vovosti today says : "Con tinued violation of neutrality laws ill tho Chinese ports by the Japanese will compel us to regard tho Chinese em pire or at loast part thereof as being within the sphere of active hostilities. "China lacks either the power or tho inclination topieseut Japanese in cursion. The warships of neutral pow ers idly watch those violations. There fore the agreement as to China's neu trality, made at the beginning of tho war, becomes a dead lettor and Russia must ignore it in solf defence." Unwholesome Fruit. The Philadelphia Department of Publlo Health has sent out a warning of tho danger of eating unripe and overripe fruit. It says that careless ness iu the consumption of fruit causes much illness. The Department is right. Ever since man learned tho difference between fruit lie might eat and that which he might not eat, he iias been devouring it ripo, unripe and overripe. And he lias been paying tho penalty by in croasiiiK the tribes of doctors and un dertakers. Tho adult stomach seems to be weak er tliau the juvenilo. Lot a grown porsou eat a quart of unripe apples or peaches and a quantity of off-colored and sour hlackborrios and lie will quickly bo tiod up in the hardest kind of knots. But a small boy can get away with the whole lot, without any great incouvoniouce, especially if the fruit has boon stolen." Was any hoy evor made sick by eating stolon fruit? Tho Dopartmont lias overlooked one important point. Tho Gating of one unripo apple has been known to causo frightful illness when whiskey and ginger wore within reach. There should be an additoual warning against keeping unripe fruit and whiskey in the Ifouso at the same time. And lastly, don't oat frint until it Is properly and naturally riponed. Ooucrete Monuments. A new idea in monumonts is lo make them of concrete roiuforeod with steol rods. Tho monument thus made can be of any size and yet of 0110 piooe. Rooontly in Hungary on tho rivor Tiieiss an oholisk 74 feot It inches high abovo tho baso was made of reinforced ooncroto with prefect success,tho total height, including foundations, being 81 feet 3 inches. The work is made hollow, it appears to savo material, the walls being six incites thick. Tho panels wero finished with a coating of lino material and polishoi. Tho entire cost of the monumont was $1,522. An other monument or reinforced concrete like this,is ono erected in Rome,ltaly, on Uaudagnola Hill. This strncture is 3!) foot 6 inches high. Iu viow of the small oost of coucret) monuments, as compared with those of marble and granite, enthusiasts will bo likely to unearth a number of forgotten heroes for out admiration.

Since leaving here Mrs. Brinton has served as a trained nurse under the government ; she has lahorod in the Philippine Islands in tlio very heart and home of insurrec tion and has soen more of the world than has fallen to tho lot of most wo men. It was iu tho year 11)00 that Mrs. Brinton, then already a trained nurse, was appointod to a position under the government. Sho served for nino months iu the United States General Hospital known as tho Presidio,at San Fraucisoo. In 1901 she was transferred to the Philippines aud after the usual on3 month's trip landed at Manila, whoro sho went on temporary duty. In September, 11)01, Mrs. Brinton was assiguod to Oalamba, Luzon, a town about forty milos from Manila, where the natives woro very treacherous,and life oven for nurses was full of excite ment aud adventure. While at Oal amba a well laid plan was unoarthort which had for its objoet tho massacre of all tho officers of tho post. Mrs. Brinton sees considerable to ad miro iu the natives of the Philippines. On some of the islands they are found to bo vory faithful and trustworthy. In Oalamba oveu where tioaohery mado conspiracy possible it was a na tive who betrayed tho secret and sav ed the lives of so many people. Describing the conspiracy Mrs. Brinton oxplained that tho ollicers, surgeons and nurses of tho military station at Oalamba were quartered in a largo establishinout which formerly had beon a friar's honso. One of the amusements indulged iu hero when off duty was dancing, the music being furnished by native orchestras, which are always ready to offer their services for a mere pittanco. Tho post had no intimation of the dark scenes impending until ono of tho inembors of the orchestra yielding to tho sentimont of humanity told an officer all about tho conspiracy. Tho musicians in their frequent visits to tho station wero to keep their eyes open and at such time as when it was found that the most of the troops wore away tho blow was to bo struck. Ev ery oflieor was to bo killed but what fate was kept in store for tho nurses aud others was not revealed. It was not infrequent that conditions prevail ed precisely as desired by tho plotters, and clearly nothing prevented a shock ing soono of bloodshed but tho timely warning givon by tho native musician. The above gives a fair idea of tho variety that enters into the lite of a nurse in the Philippines showing that her every day existence is by no means doll. Mrs. Brinton states that lifo in tho Philippines has a peculiar fascination about it, due to the luxurious vegeta tion and tho influence of the tropical climate. Tho unfavorable reports re ceived hero are largely from tho soldi ers who are tied down by military dis cipline, who have no intercourse with society and seo only tho harsh and ugly phase of lifo. The nights arc al ways delightfully cool and whilo the days are warm,mercury climbing very high,tho heat is always tempered with a breezo. Mrs Brinton spent Christinas, 1002, at Calamba. She was next assigned to Iloilo on the Island of Painay. While in tlio Philippines sho visited many of the different island'nnd found tl.e con ditions of life innch tlio same. Mrs. Bfiuton was first appointed for one year; later, however,hor term was extended so that in all she spent two years and ten months in the govern ment service. Some six months of this time wore pat iu as nnrso at the Tub erenlar Hospital at Fort Bayard, New Moxioo, after sho roturned from tlio Philippine Islands. In July, 11)013, Mis. Brinton's term expired. Since then sho has been fol lowing her chosen vocation in Denver, Colorado, whore she has charge of a private patient. Mrs. Briuton was the guest of Cap tain ard Mrs. J. 11. Johnson at Hunt er's Park yesterday. Sho is looking exceedingly well after hor busy and varied experience and is very highly enjoying her visit. Praise for Firemen. The firemen are receiving their full share of praise for their energetic and faithful efforts in oombattlng the fire on Saturday night. No 0110 is moro ploasod thnn VV. H. Ammerman him self. He feels giateful beyond all measure. Whou ho awoko the flamed were licking his bed room window and that his homo was savod ho considers due to tho porsistent and horoic efforts of tho volunteer firemen. In conversation with a representa tive of tho AMERICAN Sunday ho mado a lequest that ho he quoted as expressing his deep gratitude to tho firomon for thoir solicitude for his per sonal welfare and his high estimate of their services, which saved his home from tho wreck. Similar sen timents were expressed by Will G. Brown and wife as well as othors whoso property was menaced by the fire. The firomon in turn desire to express their gratitude to Mrs. Will G. Blown for hor kindness in serving them with cotfeo. From before midnight until :S o'olock yosterday morning sho was busy serving the refreshing aud stimu lating beverage. Tho firomon were much aided by tho cotfeo and altogeth er it is a kinduesH which they will not soon forget. Dunn on tho Fall Busiuess. Dunn's review of trado conditions indicates a prosperous fall business. Tho only disturbing faotor is in labor controversies, for which thoro seems to bo no roniedy. The Presidential con test from present indications will not have tho usual depressing effect upon business. Whou dissatisfied labor con ditions aro straightenod out there is every indication that tho country will soon bo enjoying tho frnits of sub stantial busiuess ami industrial pros perity. Hot, dry weather would bo worth millions of dollars to tho agricultural interests at this time in ripening tho grain, fruit and vegetables. LITTLE CHILD HAS CLOSE CALL - Three-year-old Henry Foulk while playing alone fell headfirst into a rain barrel full of water at Washingtonvillo Tuesday and that ho was not drown ed was duo to nothing short, of a mira cle. It occurred about noon. The child is a son of Mr. and Mrs. George Fonlk of Washingtonvilie. Mrs. Foulk ac companied by littlo Henry had just stepped over to the homo of Mr. Koy sor.a neighbor. She entered the dwell ing and was soon interested in a con versation with Mrs. Keyser, while the child tarried just outside the door to play with the cat. In this position he was iu full view from the Eagle Hotel nearly opposite. While playing it happenod that the littlo fellow caught the eyo of the Landlord, Amandus L. Heddens. Tho child was then on the top of a flight, of stops which led into Ihe house, by the side of which was a rain barrel full of water as the result of the pre vious night's rain. Somthing attractod Mr. Heddens' at tention in tho opposite direction. The next moment, however, by the merest accident ho happened to qist his eyes toward the Keyser house. The child thou had vanished. The sudden dis appearance struck Mr. Hoddens as odd and iudnced him to loot* closely. It was this that saved tho child's life, for tho landlord detected two lit tle foot protruding above tho top of tho rain barrel. Instinctively he dash ed across the street ani scarcely dar ing to hope that the child was still alive seized him by the heels and pull od him out of the water. Tho child was still alivo and consc ious, although nearly strangled with water and iu a short time was brought around all right. Rescue had come in tho very nick of time. Mrs. Foulk was overt ome when call ed to tho spot and informed how near her child had beon to death.

St. Louis is entertaining bigger crowds now- FISH KILLED BY DYNAMITE Hundreds and hundreds of potmds of trout, wliitQ cliuhs and other hinds of fifth, was the haul by seven miners who wore camping along the Ralliard Hon, sevoral miles back of Shickshiiiny last week. The guilty parties then had the audaeity to try to sell their gam*' to various farmers residing in tho vicin ity. But those attempts was their Jonah. The farmers at once notified detective Holland of Boaeh Haven, who immediately went to the scene and succeeded iu landing throe of tho men, who were taken to the county jail at Wilkosbarre. ~ It appears that the men went with tho express purpose of cleaning the stream of all kinds of fish aud every other living thing in it. Aud well did they succeed, for in the eight miles of the water that was dynamited, not even a minnow can be found. Farm ors who woro near whou the nefarious work was being done say t'nat tho water was thrown at least thirty feet, in tho air, and that fish weighing sev eral pounds were thrown out upon tho bank. The farmers say that as many as forty poles wore used by tho men, aud that the dynamiting was nut done until tho las: day. Mr. Holland wont to the place as soon as he was notified and succeeded in locating and capturing one of them. About ouc o'clock iu the morning an other was captured and tho third was taken from Ins house and placod un der arrest about thirty minutes later. The other four succeeded iu getting away. Mr. Hoi laud says tho men are de generates and do not live like civilized people, although they are Americans. They livo in huts and sleep on the lloor; dross in rags, and very few of those are to bo soon. As au excuse for the crime the men said that they could neither read nor write, and that they thought they had a right to do what they had done. Kndoavors will bo made to capture the other four as soon as possible, and all sevou of them will ho punished to tho full extent of tho law. The names of the captured men aro Arthur Opliuger, Alexander Springer and Harry Featherinan FIRE CAUSES MUCH DESTRUCTION [Continued from First Page. | house also helped to protect that build ing, although tho porch at one time was on fire and was burning rapidly hut was extinguished by W. G. Brown. Tho Brown building, higher than tho rest, with its snooessive flights ot wooden stairs on the rear was in great peril,but the entire building was kept dreuchod with water, Mr. Brown him self playing on tho lower stoiios with a garden hose, and Mr. Leister, who occupies the flat, with his family, keeping tho upper stories drouehed by means of a larger hose attached i:i tho house. By this time a thousand people had assembled at the fire It was a moment of great suspense. lnunenso volumes of smoke raining fire brands down in to Mill street poured over tho roofs ot tho Brown, tho Aiumermau anrl the Pursol buildings. Jlou-es 011 the east sido of Mill street even were in danger and several of theso worokept drench od with wator by their owners. All this while only a Flight wind was blowing and no ouo could help but picturo tho fi ightful results should tho wind increase or should the fire have occurred during dry weather instead of just following a rain, as on Satur day, when everything was damp. Such was the stato ot affairs when tho firemen began to play upon tho row of burning buildings. The efforts of the fire fighters wore watched with the utmost anxiety by tho many fami lies whoso premises extended to tlio very threshold of the burning build ings. As usual, however, tho work of tho firemen was effoctivt-. Several streams of water woro soon j layiug upon tho firo and it was not long until the great blaze which lit up the lieav ens began to subside. Each of the barns was roofed with tin. which to some extent may have interfered with the best offorts of tho firemen. But tho first thing done was to check tho spreading of the fire. It was impossi ble to save either the Ammermau or the Panel barns; Sunday where these had stood was to bo sten only a heap of blaokoned debris; the building on Mr. Woods' property is about half burned bur will be a total 1<" Ni w woatherboarding on tho east end and a new roof for a portion of the large carriage house belonging to C. U. Moyor, will restore that buildng as good as new. Mr. Ammermau Saturday night stat ed that Ihi has reason to believe that the fire was the work ot an incendiary. Ho returned home from the farm early in the evening; ho stabled the horse himself, fed him and closed the barn and ho is confident that everything was right. A valuable cow. for which Mr. Am merman said he would not have taken fifty dollars, was burned with the bam. Tho horse rescuod and taken out through the insurance office had to l>o killed,as its injuries wore found to be of such a nature as ro preclude all hope of recovery. An old buggy was pulled out of the barn partly burned, but a good spring wagon and a new buggy, which woro further iu tho building, were consumed by the fire.
