BIG TOWN ADDITION.
A Scheme Which Will Greatly Enlarge the
Fourth 'Ward.
A syndicate comprising M. If. Hurko, Esq.,
William II. Oloun and Charles Strouso has
taken leases frotu the Shaciler estate for the
three squares of laud In the south eastern
section of the town bounded by Maybetry
alloy, Gilbert street, Mulberry alley and tbo
Lehigh Valley railroad. And also for about
twenty lots situated 011 Cherry street, west of
Catherine street, making In all from CO to 80
lots, each 30 by 140 feet. This will mean
a big relief to some of the crowded
sections of the borough and an increase to
the population of tho Fourth ward of at
least 100 families. Tho syndicate was nego
tiating foi the leases for about two years and
several other parties made attempts to se
cure control of tho land, but failed. Tho
syndicate has now undor completion a double
block on lot No. 2 of the tract, situated on
Poplar street, near Gilbert street, and have
foundations completed for two double blocks,
one on each side of the one about to be com
pleted. If has also disposed of a largo number
of lots on tho tracts, selling them for a
price in addition to tho ground rout. That is,
the purchasers pay the syndicato so much for
tho lots and assume the responsibility for
payment of the ground rent to the Sbaefl'er
estate. Joseph Baytkiowlcz, tho bottler, Is
one of the purchasers and has already com
pleted a foundation on Poplar street for a
double three-story building. Among tho
others who havo purchased lots from the
syndicato are John C Ileaton, John Bialcckl,
Peter Kehoo, Frank Alport, Jacob JIahutsky
and Frank Keppi. Among the conditions
upon which the sales of the lots are made are
that nothing but dwellings shall be erected
upon them, and they shall be substantial,
although plain. Tho syndicate apparently
has a Klondike in tho investment.
Surprise and lleceptlon,
A most 'enjoyable surprise and reception
was tendered Miss Clara Clineat her home on
South Main street last evening, by the mem
bers of her Sunday school class of tho M. E.
church. It was a most hearty welcomo to
MissCline on hor return homo from tho C. E.
couvoutlon at San Francisco", .to which place
she had been accompanied by Miss Anna
Davis, ono of hor classmates, Aftor all the
folks had gathered at the homestead and
boon comfortably seated Miss Annie Williams
another member of her class, arose and in be
half of the class stated the object of the sur
prise and the appreciation of the hostess as
an Instructess during tho many pleasant
hours spent in teaching the word of God.
During the course of the evening a temporary
repast was served. As the midnight hour
was drawing on, Dr. J. S. Callen, superin
tendent of the jr. E. Sunday school, to whom
a special Invitation had been extended, made

hostess. Among those present wore :

Horning by a Fire That Made
' Rapid Headway Under
Their Bedroom
Floor.
Shortly before two o'oloA this morning
cries of "Police I" attracted: Chief of Police
Tosh And Watchman Martin O'llara to the
hardware store and dwelmnr of A. II.
Swalm, on North Main street. Watchman
Creary and Policeman Ed, Koster arrived
soon after. They found Mr. Bwalm's wife at
the entrance to the houso and she told them
that thero was flre in the tmv of the store.
Koster aud Creary stood guard at tho en.
trance, while Tosh, O'Hara and Mrs. Swalm
joined , tho lattot's husband 111 the store and
attempted to put out what, to them, appeared
louoasilgut lire. Air. Swalm ad usted-a
small hose to a hydrant In the store aud Mrs.
Swalm carried buckots of water. With 'this
assistance tlio two officers fought tho fire.
which was. in the ceiling. It soon became
evident that there was more Qro than could
be reached, from bolow and tho quartette
hurriod to tho bedrooms ovor tho rear part of
tho store. Tosh aud O'llara worked like
Trojans and received cxcelloutasslstanco from
both Mr. and Mrs. Swalm, who wore per
fectly self-possessed and did all that could be
suggested to assist tho ofScors In putting out
the firo without having tho placo Hooded by
water, but it soon becamo evident that the
services of the firo department wore indis
pensablo and Policeman Kester was sent to
sound an alarm. Mr. and Mrs. Swalm praise
the police and watchmen highly for their
services. At ono time both Tosh and O'Hara
staggorod as if they wore about to succumb,
Dut tucy readied tresu air and quickly re
covered. Both men wef8" drenched with
wator and showed tho effects of hard work.
Policeman Koster sent a double alarm
from box 25, at the cornor of Main and
Centre streot. Whou tho tiro companies ar
rived tho flames had snread between the
joists of tho second floor to tho southwestern
corner of tho building and a stack of flre ex
tending up tho weather boards from tho sec
ond floor to the roof brightly Illuminated tho
neighborhood. It was 2:05 when the alarm
was sounded aud tho firemen had before
them what threatened to bo an extensive and
disastrous firo, but thoir work was so prompt,
effectlvo nnd judicious that within fifteen
minutes the firo was out and, without any
material damage to tho Interior of tho
building by wator. Mr. Swalm says-"tbat
had tho lutcrlor been 1100(1611 his dam igo
would havo been at least$3,000 nioro than it
is. Bstlmatcs were made this morning and
the loss Is fixed at about .$100,-
Mr. Swalm was tho first to discover the
fire. Ho and his wlfo occupy one of tho bed
rooms ovor the rear of the storo. Their two
Children occupy tho adjoining bedroom. Mr.
Swalm was awakened by a choking sensation
aud found the bedroom filled with dense
smoke. Ho says that when his feet touched
the floor '.t felt hot. He rushed down to tho
store and saw a bluo flame at tho electric
light wire on tho coiling. His wifo ran to
tho front duor to call tho polico. When tho
polico arrived his two children wcro taken
out of their bedroom to a front room, where
thoy remained until tho fi-e assumed a more
serious form, when they were carried to tho
house of a neighbor. Tho police say Mrs.
Swalm is a remarkably self-possessed woman.
After the alarm was sent In aud her services
wero no longer required in tbo attempts to
put out tho flre, sho procoeded to pack trunks
with such articles as sho would wish to save
should their removal from tho houso bo re
quired. This she did deliberately as tho
flremen hurried to and fro about her, tho
only evidence of alarm on her part being
an occasional admonition to the flremen to
give her due notico if tho flre should get
beyond their control aud a removal of effects
become necessary, "That woman is worth
four of the general run of men in a case of
this kind," remarked ono of tho firemen,
An exhaustive investigation as to tho cause
of tho fira was mads this jnoruiug and the
conclusion reaehed that in extending a gas
pipe along tho telling to tho rear part of tho
store a few months ago tho electric light
wires on the ceiling wore interfered with In
such a manner as to creato a short circuit.
This had an effect on tho gas pipe in such a
way that A small hole was gradually eaten
into it. It Is presumed that last night the
safety fuse at this point gave way to tho
presuro nnder tho short circuit. The burst
ing of the safety fuse occasioned, as it always
does, a small spark, or flame, and this ignited
the gas which was escaping from the small
hole made in the pipe by tbo short circuit.

Toomey laBt evening as complainant- charg
ing Joseph Kowel, a West Centre 'treet

tho namo of this deponent as grantor whs
forged, as aforesaid, by tho said parties, to
tlio prejudice of this deponent s rights and
with intent to defraud this deponent."
Stripped of its legal verbiage, the com
plaint of tho prosecutor is that he accepted
some money from one of tho defendant,
Mlehaol Kotolsiej, to bind a bargain to sell
to the latter tho land In Austria, but subse
quently repented of tho bargain and offered
to return the mouoy. He alleges that the

forging his name to it. All the defendants,

The Greatest Gain .Has Been For Agricul
ture, There Being an Increased De
mand For All Farm Products.
All Other Industrie
lloklng Up.
New York, Aujr. 21. II. G. Dun &
Co.'g weekly review of trade aaya: Not
for several yeara hare the telegraphic
reports from varlou cities In all parte
of the country been a encouraging, or
shown as uniform Improvement, aa thla
week. The markets are called crasy
by some, but fairly represent the peo
ple, whose confidence in the future Is
strong and Increasing. Nothing- ap
pears to check It. Humors of Injury to
crops are not sufficiently supported to
have much influence. The oUe tempo
rary hindrance is the strike of the bi
tuminous coal miners, which Interferes
as yet little with Industries, and seems
likely to terminate within a week. The
demand for money Improves, taking
from New York to the Interior about
half a million more than was received
during the week, and offerings of com
mercial loans are much larger, Includ
ing considerable Iron and steel paper,
nnd tho course of foreign exchange Is
generally interpreted as an Indication
that specie imports cannot be long
delayed.
The greatest gain has been for agri
culture. Corn has advanced little in
price, but Is moving very largely, so
that the last year's Burplus may soon
be marketed, unless the new crop turns
out better than many now orpect. Cot
ton declined an eighth, because of an
estimate promising the largest crop
ever grown, but the market is gradu
ally Improving, and some of the large
mills, after a few weeks of suspension,
have resumed work. Other farm pro
ducts are doing well also, but wheat
has advanced about 11 cents for the
week on actual transactions) ' "With
heavy purchases for export. The of-'
flclal estimate of yield Is entirely dis
regarded, except as an admission that
tho crop will be larger than that of
last year, and It Is commonly assumed
that the yield will be 550,000 bushels or
more, though recent reports of Injury,
Indicating the possibility of a some
what smaller outcome, have helped the
advance In price. It Is well to notico
that corn exports continue more than
double last year's, also.
The Iron and steel Industry Is pushing
forward In spite of tho still unsettled
strike of bituminous coal miners, and
th6 enormous purchases of ore at
Cleveland, and also of billets at Pitts
burg, show the utmost confidence In
the future. Many additional establish
ments have begun -work during the
past week, and while no material
change In prices has occurred the re
ports Indicate fewer concessions to se
cure business and a much steadier tone.
The demand for finished products has
decidedly Improved, especially In plates,
sheets and bars, and In railway sup
plies, particularly In car axles.
Tho old difficulty remains In the boot
and shoe Industry, dealers being un
willing to buy largely at the prices
which manufacturers now ask, though
during tho past week the only change
has been a slight advance on calf
boots.
The market for hides In Chicago Is
again much stronger, prlees having ad
vanced, with very narronv transactions,
and buyers are holding off In the belief
that prices have reached the top. In
the woolen business a constant Increase
appears In the number of establish
ments at work, and the demand for
goods has mucli Increased.
Failures for the week have been 2S3
in the United States, against 2SQ for the
corresponding week last year, and in
Canada 30, against 27 last year.
Bradstreets' review says: Special tel
egrams from trade centers throughout
the country emphasize the growing
prosperity of the farmer, due to higher
prices for almost all agricultural pro
duce still In his hands, and point to a
continuation of the deinnnd which has
been conspicuous within the past few
weeks. The volume of trade continues
to Increase, and prices are hardening.
No such volume of business, largely In
anticipation of requirements, haB been
reported since 1892. Larger transac
tions have been In dry goods, clothing
and shoes, and south and west In wages
and farm Implements.
Another very favorable bank clear
ings report is found In the total, $1,
140,000,000, this week, which, while it
Is 1 ser cent less than last week, la
10 per cent larger than In the third
week of August, 1880; par cent
heavier than In 1885, 4Q per eent larger
than In 1SH, and fully 58 per cent
larger than In th Ilka week ef 1893,
WhPU Clearing! totals were reduced to
very low figures. Compared with the
like period In 1892, a year of larga vol
ume of business, this week's total
shows a gain of IS per eent.
