A SHREWD SCHEME.
How a l'oll nil Printer Duped a Slinmokln
Publisher.
Joliu Sutndoraitls, a Polish printer who
formorly lived and werked In town went to
Shamolcln recently and soourd work on a
Polish newspaper thoro called "The Iskra."
Ho was allowed, to have lodging In the
office and when left alone at nights
spent some time in going over tho
newspaper's advertising list. In thin
manner ho secured the names of several
advertisers who wore Indehtsd to tho pub
lishers and a fow days ago threw up his job.
With the "Iskni's" list In his possession he
went to lit. Carmol and collected consider
able money. Yesterday he came to town and
collected $13.
In the meantime the publisher of "Tho
Iskra" got wind of tho fraud and he camo to
this town last night. A warrant was sworn
out before Justice Cbrdin for the arrest of
Sumdoraltis and soon after Constablo Colin
arrested the man at the Lehigh Valley depot.
When searched only $8 was found in the
prisoner's pockets. Ilowae given a hearing
before Justice Oardin this morning and
committed to tho Pottsvllle jail.

Dr. Hartley ltcinnlng.
The fact that Dr. a. S. Harlloy has ac
quired solo ownership of tho Albany Dental
Koorns at Mabanoy City and has arranged to
glvo some of his personal attention to the
establishment has given rise to reports that
he has severed his connection with the Shen
andoah Dontal Rooms. This Is not the case.
Dr. Hartley continues as proprietor of the
latter establishment and will give personal
attention to both, but in order to meet tho
demands of the rapidly Increasing business
Dr. J. W. Angles, of Beading, has been se
cured to act as manager of tho local branch.
Dr. Angles is an experienced dentist, as well
as a gentleman of excellent personal quali
fications and will undoubtedly fill his posi
tion as manager of tho Shenandoah Dental
Rooms with mutual satisfaction and profit to
the business and tho patrons of tho Shenan
doah Dontal Rooms.

Serious Loss to the Taxpayers of
Pennsylvania.
THE LOSS A MILLION AND A HALF
There Was Only $100, 0$) Iasuranoe on ttie
Ruined Stmcture-lhe Ineffloienoy of
the Harrlsburg Fire Department
Blamed For the Sweeping r
Destruction.
IlAHRisnrjRG, Feb. 1 The legislative
balls are In ruins. A new structure must
rise from the ashes that has served as a
meeting place of the legislature since 1880.
The flames have eaten ttt 11,600,000 worth
of property. The inefflejencyof tho Hnr
rlsburg fire department Is blamed.
There is not much over 8100,000 Insur
ance on the building and contents, ac
cording to tho stntemsjnt of tho treasury
officials. There was $ifi0,000 on the oapl
IU1 building whllotho state library was in
it. Sines that time the library has been
removed to nnothor struoturo, and the in
surance on the legislative halls has been
reduced to 00,000. In addition to this there
is $136,000 carried on all tho state build
ings. A portion of this is on the oapltol,
but how muoh tho treasury ofHllnls are
unable to say. They think that thoro is not
ovor $100,000 on the logUlatlve building.
A roport was In circulation that the flro
was caused by tho eleotrlo light wires. In
n lntorvlow with the officers of tho Har
rlsburg Elootrlo company they stated that
It did not and could not havo originated
In that Way. Tho building was rowlrod
several yoars ago at tho tlmo tho Insurance
was placed. Tho wiring was installed un
der the rules nnd regulations of tho board
of llro underwriters, and was carofully In
Ipocted and approved. Tho odor of smoko
was apparent to a number of tho sonators
Mid omployos from ono to two hours be
fore the Are was discovered. Had It boon
caused by contact of wires tho llro would
havo boon apparent In a very short time.
The thoory whloh has the most founda
tion in fact Is that it originated from tho
open hearth flro In the lieutenant gover
nor's room and burned under tho floor
long the joists to the hall partition
whore It was discovered
Tho houso was In sessjon and the senate
was about to convene after a fow minutes'
rocoss when tho flamos were discovered.
Binoko could bo seen in small volumos
pouring out into tho oapltol grounds from
the house windows. Tho inembors were
not mindful of It until the great clouds
rolled by tho window Instantly thoro
was a motion to adjourn, and all was con
Itornatlon. "
In the senate tho menjbers wero lolling
ibout in their soats. Tjio place began to
imoU of smoko, and toon dense clouds
rolled down tho roar elevator shaft. Sen
ator John Grady, of Philadelphia, quickly
tvnrnod the sonators, and there was a gen
eral hustle to remove effoots. Fire alarms
ivero sent In, and soon the dignified senato
was a mass of howling men. Desks wero
being jerked looso and curried out. Tho
inme work was going on in tho houso
chamber.
Out In tho grounds groat crowds quickly
fathered. The flames wero then shooting
out of tho roof ovor the lieutenant gov
irnor's chamber, whero tho llro originated,
tho fire department was slow to arrive,
nd tho hosemon about tho cnpltol wero
lolng their utmost to cheok the blaze. It
fvas useless, as the flro llckod up tho littlo
itroams. At last tho local companies
tarted streams on the senato wing roof,
now a sheet of flames, but the wator had
hardly force enough to roaoh the blazo.
Rapidly tho flamos destroyod tho roof
indnto their way down into tho senate
shambor, and soon tho men who wero
trying to rooovor property wero drlvon
Dut. The flames shot along tho senato
roof, wound themselves about the domo
ind on the roof of tho house chamber. Al
though thoro was a heavy rain and snow
'ailing tho woodwork burned llko kind
ling wood. Soon there was a flro in ovory
portion of tho building and thoro was no
aope for tho hlstorlo struotura
During the flro numerous people were
Injured by falling timbers and by sovoral
dttle explosions caused by different
things, though no ono was fatally lu
lu red. For a time It looked as though tho
idjolnlng dopartment buildings would
bo destroyed, but a shifting wind savod
them. The entire blazo was conflnod to
the oapltol building. It was 6 o'clock this
morning boforo tho flamos wore oxtin
tingulshed. Tho records of this session
havo been saved.
A meeting of Governor Hustings, At
torney General MoCormlok, President
protom. McCnrroll, Speaker Boyer, Stato
treasurer Haywood and Auditor General
Uylln was held last night to arrango tem
porary quarters for tho senato and houso.
ft was agreed to hold the senate meetings
In tho supromo court room and tho house
lessiqns In the third story of the postolllce
building. Both are well adapted for the
purpose. Another meeting was held to
lay, when sovoral halls wero tenderod by
tltlzens of Harrlsburg.
It is likely that a joint session of both
branches of the legislature will be held to
night or tomorrow to deolde upon the
future meeting places. Great confusion
ixlste now, and it is probable that both
houses will adjourn tonight or tomorrow
until the neoessary priutlug and other
preparations have been made for tho re
mmptlon of regular legislative sessions.
There has been some talk of finishing
the session in either Pittsburg or Phila
delphia, but Superintendent John Delaney
lays : "I don't think that it Is possible to
tako the session away from Harrlsburg.
The oapltol oity Is named in the constitu
tion as the place of meeting. I will fight
or rebuilding the oapltol on the oolonlal
ityle,"
The destroyed building was built early
In the century, nut was nevertheless re
garded as ono of the handsomest speci
mens of Ionio architecture In the country.
The building woe of red briok, with white
trtmmlugs, surrounded by a park of ten
tores, and stood on an eminence almost
In the centre of the oity. The-maln struc
ture was two and one-half stories high,
lurmounted by a large dome, from which
a line view of the surrouudiug country
sould be liad. The dimensions were;
Length.lHO foet; width, 80 feet. The build
ing was finished iu ltUl, and wan first oc
cupied by the general assembly on Jan. 8,
188B. On each side was a wing, that on the
north being ocoupled by the senate and
the southern wing by tho house. At eaoh
nd of the building, separated from It by
a narrow space, are located two buildings
containing a state treasury department,
tho adjutant general's office and other
State otfloes. About 100 feet south Is the
modern arunlte buildiufe known as the ox-
wratlvo miimrng, recently erected am cost
of nearly $1,000,000 for the accommodation
of the governor, attorney general and sec
rotaty of state. This building also shel
terilbo state library, and a portion of It
Is used as a state museum.

and small hopes are entertained for their

are doad from breathing the poisonous

Shortly after 7 o'olock In the morning
the announcement was made that a flro
had broken out in tho mine, which is sit

Calumet and Heola. An alarm was Im
mediately sont to a hundred men em
ployed in this shaft, and all of them es
caped. The mon had beon at work but a
short time whon the Are broke out, and
instead of trying to extinguish It they
ran away, going to tho surface to give tho
alarm. How the flro originated Is a mys
tery. When it was found whero tho four men
wore help dosconded Into tho mine, but
owing to the gases and cold could go no
furthor down than the fourth level. Tho
cage, howevor, was kopt running past tho

but as they did not appear It Is moro than
probable that all are dead. Captain Par

Second. Ward Democrats Get Into Per
sonal Encounters.
BITTER FEELING IN THE, RANKS
The Oitltens Party SaUlac Along Quietly
and Doing Effective Work With the
Endorsement and Assistance of the
Regular Republloans-rrult-lejs
Democratic Efforts.
Politics have again floated to the surface of
local topics and is the prevailing theme in
nearly all public places. In some quarters
the discussion grows so warm that personal
encounters have been brought about. The
latter results, however, have only been die
cernable In the Democratic circles, In which
there are unmistakable evidences of bad
feeling and revolution. One of the clashes
took place in an East Centre street saloon
yesterday, when a prominent Democrat of
the Second ward who has been quite active
lately in denouncing certain proceedings of
his party in that ward, was assaulted by one
of the Democratic leadors. Tho encounter
was not attended by any serious results to
either of tho parties, however, and has been
put on record with one of the "little fanitlv
jars" which havo become quite numerous in
becond ward Democratic politics this year.
There is a determined effort on the part of
some Democrats to whitewash tho spirit of
revolution and independence that exists in
the party, hut they have thus far failed to
got the coating sultlcloutly thick nnd the bad
color will show. As a sample of this effort
the Coal street organ has tried to break the
force of tho "Fair Play" letter which ap
peared iu tho Hkiiald a few days ago by de
claring that the commuuiontion was written in
tho Ukbalu sauctum and no other belief will
be entertained unless the name of tho writer
is furnished. This statoment has brought to
tho front the party who was responsible for
the publication with a declaration that if the
newspaper raising the question will give good
reasons for asking the name of the corres
pondent he will furnish his name forpublica
tion, but he will not do so to satisfy mere
curiosity. The party is ovldently very
determined in t-ie stand he has taken and
says he has nothing to fear by the publication
of his name. Ho adds that he first
took the letter to the Coal street organ nnd
asked them to publish it. Tho person to
whom he applied made a memoranda of the
matter, but tho paper fulled to oitlier publish
tho letter, or the memoranda, and the
correspondent then submitted the lotter to
the mebald. If such aro tho facte tho Coal
Btreet organ must know who the writer is
and, while trying to mako tho public believe
mat it is a lafco product of tho' Heuald
sancluni, must know that tho communication
is as genuine as it possibly can ho.
Allaire iu tho ranks of tho Citizens nartv
are directly in contrast with those in the
Democratic ranks. Tho Citizens party is
sailing along upon a sea of perfect harmony,
notwithstanding desperate efforts of Demo
crats since last Thursday to croato splits in
important quarters and the Republicans havo
given hearty endorsement to all the Citizens
party has dono thus far. Tho offorts of cer
tain Democrats to split tho Citizens
party voto and make a clear avenue to the
Chief Burgessliip for Tabor by getting
Alex. Divis to come out as an independent
candidate for the portion failed, much to tho
disappointment and mortification of tho
Democrats who undertook to make the deal.
The movement was a strong ono and great
pressure was brought to bear, but Davis was
convinced by his friends that the Democrats
were only trying to uso him as a tool and
would throw him on the scrap iron pile after
his defeat at the election. A similar attempt
iu connection with the School Directorship in
tho Third ward lias also failed, so that the
Democrats must make their fight ou their
own merits, and without any assistance thoy
hoped to gain through independent Citizens
candidates.
The Citizens Standing Committee hold a
meeting last night and perfected iU part of
me uauipaigu wors. uerealter the campaign
will bo in charge of the joint Citizens and
uepuulican organization.

The Lcnalian-Caln Contest.
The Lenahan-Cain contest In Conyngham
township over the ofilce of Director of the
1'oor, whioh has aroused much general
interest, was again up for a hearing before
Justice Clark. It will be remembered that
the Commissioner before whom testimony
was taken gave a decision in favor of Lena
hau, saying that ho was legally elected, but
the Columbia county court overruled this de
cision. On Monday much excitement was
occasioned by tho arrest of B. J. Doyle, of
Centralia, and Patrick Gillespie, of Mid
valley, on the charge of tamnerine with the
ballots. They are under bail. The direct
charge was that Doyle and Gillespie had
entered the Prothonotary's ofilce at Blooms
burg on the 22nd day of February -4895. and
changed the figure of the election returns.
This new phase of the contest has caused
considerable oxcitement throughout Centralia
and Conyngham township, and everybody is
waiting for the next move.
