E II GLEAMS Fortunately the Valuable Books of the Operators Had Been Previously Removed The Loss About $500 No Insurance. Fire threatened the Cambridge colliery last night, it would have been a great loss to the operators, as the place only started yesterdoy morning ofter under, going improvements at a cost of about fjJ.OOO. Fortunately only the office of the colliery Bullere'd'from the Are. The flames broke out at about twenty minutes after eight o'clock. There was considerable delay in spreading the alarm, as the electric alarm system was still out of order and the bell had to be fnpped .hy the tolling rope in the borough building. ,The alarm for the Fourth ward was tapped and it puzzled the fire companies, as they didn't know what part of the warq to go to. D. R. James, the inside foreman of the colliery, was on Main street when the alarm sounded and hastened down to the colliery. Tho mice Duuaing was in a maze wnen ne enched the scene and the flames had al ijeady commenced to crawl along the water trough which runs to the breaker, less than a hundred yards distant. Mr. James promptly broke a small water pipe run nlng near the office and attached a small hose to it. With this stream and the assistance of Thomas O'Connell and some men who had gathered at the place the Are was extinguished, but not until the office was completely destroyed with all its contents. The loss by the Are is estimated at between ?300 and $400. There was no in surance. The office contained six chests of tools belonging to men employed at the, colliery and a quantity of tools and mine supplies belonging to the operators Fortunately all the Important books of the colliery were not in the office, but had been taken to Superintendent McGIn ness' home, in Frackvllle, The only book of any real value lost was one containing the time of a few men who worked on the repairs during this .month and that data can De reaauy suppueu. The fire is supposed to have orlglnatsd from a mine lamp. The watchman hung the lamp in the office and walked to the boiler .house. He had hardly reaohed the latter place when the flames broke out from the office.

The contention made in behalf ot Burke was that he had paid for the license and that it was granted as his own, not as the brewing company's license, but the court held It was granted to the company for use by their agent. This same controversy has frequently come up In court of late years, notably the Feeley license case In .the Fourth ward, where tho .Otto Eyrlng Brewing .Company, of Reading, claimed the license, but in this case Feeley succeeded in holding the license.

The injunction suit of tlie Schuylkill Traction Company against the Borough of Gllberton, in which the company seeks to restrain the borough from interfering with the operation of the company's Hue and the laying ot that part ot the track which caused the riot, was up before the Pottsville court again yesterday on a new issue raised ,by P. M. Dunn, Esq., the counsel for the borough, who made ap plication to amend the answer to the company's suit in order to set forth that the Mahanoy City, Shenandoah, Glrard ville and Ashland Street Railway Com pany did not' have the power to transfer Its rights to, ha Schuylkill Traction Com pany, bo far as'suoh rights applied to the bcrough of. Gllberton, that that borough never consented to such a transfer. The point is a very important; one and if the court sustains it the situation of. the. Traction Company, bo far 'as Its rela tlons wjtn tue porougn oi UUUerton are concerned, will be very peculiar, or rather, the borough' will be in a position to' aissrt that1 the company never 'had and now has no right to bperate the rail way in the borough and that the' only company having that right Is the one from which the Traction Company claimB to have received the transfer. William A. Marr, Esq., the counsel for the Trac tion Company, says he believes the point has been raised too late. The gist of the point Is that at the time the M. C, S. G. & A. R. R. Co. se cured its right of way the word "assigns" was omitted from the ordinance, and as the right was not given to the company and Its aBslcns It conld not transfer the Irlcht of way. The same omission oo curred In the drafting of the Shenan doah ordinance, but the Borough Coun cil subsequently adopted an amendatory ordinance supplying the word "assigns, Strouse for clocks.

The Kehoe family, ot Ogdea street, will have turned over to them in a short time a fortune amounting to $250 000 or ?300,000, partly In cash and partly in California gqld claims. About twenty-flve years ago Mrs. O'Donnell, the grandmother of Mrs. John Kehoe, kept a boarding house at Tamaqua, and one day there came to her a stranger, a young man in poor circum stance who save his name as James Gallagher. He told her that he had been out of work for some time, and asked to be permitted to' 'stay at her placet until he found something to do. Mrs. O'Donnell agreed to shelter him.
