THB FIRE MEN DO PROMPT AND EFFECTIVE WOKK. ODDS SUCCESSFULLY FOUGHT The Water Waa Slow In Getting There But it Eventually Held Up ltB End A Throatonod Conflagration. HERE was a flro this morning, and a most ugly ono It threatened to ho, hut, thanks to tho prompt and actlvo scrvlcoo'f our volunteer flro department, an al most assured confla gration was nipped In tho bud. At 3:15 this morning tho box at the corner of Main and Poplar streets sounded tho 3-4 alarm. It was sounded by George Saeger, the man stationed at the electric light station on South Main street. A strong wind was blowing at tho time and the hell failed (o givo tho desired signal. Tho few that heard it and hurried to the Bceno woro at a loss to account for tho slow response. Joseph Dusto sounded a second alarm and James S. Williams tho third, hut even tho last alarm failed to arouse the people to a realization of the truth. Meantime a framo building on Pear alley, between Poplar and Laurel sheets, nnd ad oining tho row of tinder bores on tho west side of (lie alley known at ono tlmo as Rice's row, was in a mass of flames. For several minutes tho firemen stood owcrlcss. Tho sound of tho alarm had failed to reach the man on guard for the water company at tho northeast end of town and there was no wntor to put the hose in uso. bomo new water company people took advantage of the situation and asked tho startled people what they thought of tho water company. It was rather an unfair ad vantage to take, fur by tho tlmo the majority of tho firemen arrived the water was on Tho stream was not a strong one at first, be cause it required time for the filling of -all pipes to give force, but to the credit of the fire department be It said that within forty minutes after the alarni was sounded tho flro was under control and practically oxtin guished. The Are started in a row of two-story frame buildings that have occasioned ap prehension for years, and that the firemen succeeded in confining the flames to two buildings in the face of gieat disadvantage is certainly very oredttablo to the depart ment. The result of the lire is that two houses woro destroyod and one partially consumed. Tho house in which the lire started and the adjoining it are owned by George Whitekawioz. They wore originally owned by William llynon. It appears that tho houses wero well Stocked with straw and wood for winter use and during a Jollification last night somo ono innocently threw a lighted cigar or olgnretto stump into the inflammable stuff. Tho estimated loss by destruction of and damage to buildings Is $1,000. The oc cupants of two houses lost all their oflcots, which oan ho covered by a fow hundred dollars. Among those who appeared at the scene and aflhrdcd mudi oucouraguient to the firemen before, during and after the fire was Felix Adricks, tho proprietor of tho hotel at tho corner of Main nud Poplar streets, who also placed his house at their dlsimsal after the flames were extinguished and said that he fully appreciated the prompt service that had been rendered. Mr. Adrick's hotel Is located hut a square, away from the seeno of destruction. Ono lesson to he derived from this morn ing's fire presents I Ml in the shape of a necessity for provision whereby the people of town may b enabled to hear the sounds from the fire ball. The alarm system is not questioned, save that the bell la too closely confined and needs u new style of shelter. This la the condensed opinion of many of our prominent townsmen who did not realize the situation until altar the trouble was over and tho firemen were In their beds. In fact some of the firemen did not reach the scene until after the sixth alarm was giveu. Iu Olden Tliuea People overlooked the importance of per manent benwfiolal oifeeU and were satisfied with transient action, but now that it is gen erally knowu that Byrup of Pigt will per manently cure habitual constipation, well informed p "pic will not buy other laxatives, which act for a time, but finally injure the system. ...

The subject of this sketch, John J. Coyle, of Mahanoy City, needs a formal introdnc tion to fun- people in tills section. Mr. Coyle is the Republican candidate for the Legisla ture in this, tho First, Legislative district and in one of the best known and most popu lar young men in tho county, Mr. Coyle was born in Norwegian town ship, Schuylkill county, November 10, 1883, and is therefore 21) years old. In 168 lie re moved with his parents to Centralia, Colum bia county, where they resided until 1878, when they went to Mahanoy township. John attended school regularly until ho was ten or eleven years old, when like all other boys brought up around tho mines, ho went to work at the breaker. During tho following fivo or six years, however, ho attended school in tho winter, nnd in 1870 ho secured a teachers's certificate and was appointed a teacher in Mahanoy township, llo taught school there two terms and then went to Luzerno county, where ho followed tho same profession until 1S8-1, when ho resigned to a position as bookkeeper with a Frccland firm. In 1885 ho returned to Mahanoy City and embarked In tho real estate and insurance business, and in I860 he was appointed by Governor Heaver a Justice of tho Peace for the First ward of that borough. Mr. Coyle's Republicanism was inherited and before he attained his majority he had mmlo himself felt in the politics of the First ward of Mahanoy City. The ward whs Democratic by a majority of nearly 150, and when he was nominated for Justice of tho Peace, in 1800, a dosiierato efl'ort was made to defeat him, but in spite of tho adveree majority In tho ward ho was elected by a very sulistantial majority. In subsequent caniinigns ho has also mado his influence felt iu that boiuugh, especially in tho First ward. Mr. Coylo was nominated for tho Legisla ture chiefly through the influence of tho Young Men's Republican Club of Mahanoy City, of which lie is a member, they declar- lug their faith in his ability to carry tho district, llo has mado tho most thorough nud olTcctive canvass over mado of the dis tinct, and will bo elected ou Tuesday noxt by tho largest majority ever received by candidate iu this district. During his can vass he has personally siKiken to fully two thirds of the Republicans of the district, and has secured the confidence and support of tho party as few candidates over do. Mr. Coylo has the ability, tho industry and integrity to represent the district as it lias seldom been represented, and tho Eepubll cans of the district will never have occasion to regret the act if they elct him on Tubs day noxt.

Luther, general superintendent of the Philadelphia & Reading Coal and.Iron Com pany, has notified Hon. Eliaa Davis, Chair man of Uie Republican County Committee, and W. A. Marr, Esq., Chairman of'thc Denv ocralic County Committee, that the company will not operate any of its collieries on elec tion day, iu order that the workmen may have tho necessary time to vote intelligently. The Thomas Coal Company has also de cided to suspend operations for that day. In fact, through tho foresight of Superintendent llaird, it arrived at this conclusion two weeks ago. A (food Chance.

WriKKt, (Hoffman's old stands, 11 -tf CO! W Centre Kt AN IMPERATIVE NOTICE ! WHY THB WATBR WORKS PROGRBS3 IS STOPPBD. QUESTION OF POSSESSION I Tho Thomas Coal Company Takes a Stand and "Will Allow no Treapassors Upon the Land it Loasoa. 5SSSjin3 stop t ll progress put upon the of tho new water works contract is not fully understood by some peoplo and the promoters seem to treat it with indlficrenco. But from inquiries mado hy tho Hr.nAr.D yesterday tho stand taken by the Thomas Coal Company seem? to bo the largest and most painful thorn that has yet been placed in tho sido of the movement. A prominent gentleman said yesterday, You may say what you like, but possession is nine points of the law and that is just the position that the Thomas Coal Company holds." At present there is no suit ponding iu this particular matter. Messrs. Qulnn and Kerns, the contractors for tho wator works, lavo stopped work on tho following notice. which was served on two of their foremen, Martin Phalen and Kdwaid Dowling: "Obntlembn : You are workine on the land of the Glrard Kstote and interfering with the ieao or mo 'inom,i. uoai uompany, ana i. a superintendent of the aald Thomas Coal Com pany, commana ou to stop worn at once. iinspeoiruiijr, "TnoMAS IlAiitD, Superintendent." When the contractors showed this notice to their attorney thoy wero advised to oboy tho notice and stop work. This has been done nnd, as rcportod in yesterday's Herald, the borough hai mado arrangements to fllo bond of $20,000 to secure tho Thomas Coal Company against damages so that Quinn Kerns may go on with the work. Just how far a bond of tr0,000 will go in satisfying tho Thomas Coal Company is an oreu ques tion. There are some who believe that if any security will suffice it rill have to he of a much larger amount than the borougli often. The position of the Thomas Coal Company seems to be something like this: The present method of constructing dams practically a failure and Superintendent Thomas Baird, the other officials and em ployes of the Kehley Run colliery are not disposed to take their lives iu their hands in operating the mine with the proposed new dams stationed above the largo Mam moth, Buck Mountain and Sevan Foot crop falls of the colliery. Resides this tho Thomas Coal Company has leased the laud and as leasees it is obliged to keep off all trespassers. To the eoiniiany the borougli and the contractors apiear as trospauora at.d tho company has warned them oir the land. 1 A gentleman who seems to have a pretty good insight of tho matter said to a IIkkald rciorter yesterday: "The Thomas Coal Com-! pany holds a position entirely different to either tho old water company, ex-Senator Torhert, or tho Girard estate. The company is iu possession of the land and the lease un der which it holds possession requires it to keep off all trespassers. In addition to this the company has a ground which was set out in a lotter sent some time ngo to Holer S. Thompson, Esq., Chief Engineer of the Qlrard Eatate, hy Superintendent Re lid. The letter was as pointed and as positive as the notice that caused Messrs. Qulnn Jk Kerns to step work and I have .here a copy of it. It reads: "I, aa superintendent of the Kettle ' Bun colliery, being entrusted with the safety of my employes, do hereby deolars that I will not be responsible for any accident which might occur through the erection of any more reser voirs on tlm mountain north of the crop falls of Keblay'f Hun collier j and I do hereby protest against the erection of anv new reservoirs." " You can see for yourself the poaiUon the oonijieny holds in this matter," continued the IImuld's informant ; " And you will no doubt agree with me that it is by no means a weak one. To my mind the tUingofthe 180,000 bond will not let the borough in, on this matter. I understand that nothing short of an order of the court will induce the Thomas Coal Company to allow the ooutrae- torsupou the grounds and they dont want any more reservoirs above their win workings." "How long do you think it will take to settle this matter T" "ll, that M a poser. I really cannot guess. I really do not know what cuurac the borougli will take If It cannot go ahead under a bond, but I wouldn't bo surprised to see the nutter iu tho courts for two or three years to come. However, as I am not acting for either the company or the borough, you must not slake too murli upon what I say iu lln- eonrieeiiou. It is my pi rsonal opinion. ' 4m.
