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 court has evidently deter
mined to allow no wholesale licenses to
grow Out of a brewer's agency license.

Last Night's Show.
The production of "The Telegram" at

means a pleasing entertainment. The
only redeeming features were thd Binging

acrobatic tramp act of O. W. Hall. The
latter elves an excellent specialty. The
play is a flimsy one and with the excep

AN IMPORTANT POINT.
A Brain Tickler Raised in the Schuyl
kill Traction Company's Suit.
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,

Another of "Jack" Mccarty's Reli(e)able
Yarns.
The following dispatch appeared in
yesterday's Philadelphia Press, dated
from Hazleton, which is about as truth
ful ns many other stories emanating from,
that section :
The fortune fever which is infecting:
the central part of this state, promising:
millions in foreign estates to many resi
dents of Shamokln, Mt. Cnrmel, Reading
and other towns, lias finally reached
Girardvllle. 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. After
a few days' fruitless search; for employ-
meuvUB was sinc&ea vrna typnoia-pnen-monla,'
and it was only after' weeks t
careful nursing that' he fully recovered.
A.short time later he decided; to gq to
New York, and on leaving told Mra.
O'Donnell that it ever it came within his
power' td 'do so he'Wotild'repay'b'er for1 her
kindness Cj "
It was not until about' a week ttgo that
the whole matter was vividly recalled by
a letter which, the old lady, now .residing
with her grandchildren, received from a
lawyer "of Tamaqua. The lawyer stated
that a California attorney was making;
a search for a Mrs. Manus O'Donnell.
who, about twenty-llve,years .ago, resided
at Tamaqua, to whom one James Gal
lagher had willed cash and property,
amounting to about $150,000 which, with
interest, le now awaiting the heir. The
lawyer stated that he had ascertained
that Mrs. O'Donnell was the only lady of
