They were suc cessful a few weeks ago in prohibiting base ball games by Atlantic league clubs.

Structure Valued at $75,000 Destroyed by Fire at Wyoming. Tho largo Mt. Lookout breaker at Wyoming was completely destroyed by fire on Monday morning. The colliery engineer immediately turned In a general alarm of fire when the blaze was discovered, and the fire companies from Wyoming, Exeter, West Plttston and Pittston responded, but their services were of little value after tho flames had started. The lire was confined to tho breaker, which was quickly filled with the roar ing flames. Pieces of burning wood and sparks were carried one hundred feet in the air and it was impossible to ap proach the burning structure. For an hour and a half tho fire raged, and then the machinery in the head house and upper portiou of tho breaker fell with a crash. Rollers, screens and machinery piled in a mass on and about the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western tracks, which run directly under the main part of the breaker. Wrecking crews from Kingston and Seranton we.ro summoned, and it required a number of hours to clear the railroad tracks. Meanwhile, traffic and the telegraphic services were obstructed, all the West ern Union commercial wires to New York being down. The burned breaker was ono of tho most modern of its kind in the Wyoming region and gavo employment to 850 men and boys. It was erected in 1896 on tho site of tho breaker which was destroyed by fire in January of that year. It was owned by the Mt. Lookout Coal Com pany and was operated by Simpson & Watkins. The structure was valued at $75,000 and was partly covered by in surance. The origin of the fire is not known. It started in the south or dry side, and the circumstances are not unlike those surrounding the destruction of the Hud son breaker, at Plymouth, on July 13. The theory that the liro was caused by overheated machinery is not to bo credited, inasmuch as the breaker was not in operation after tho suspension of work on Saturday. Work on the erection of a new break er will be commenced as soon as tho debris has been cleared away. PERSONALITIES. Rev.

Details Announced of the Finns by Which the I'ennsy Will Pension Its Kmployes—Will Cost the Corporation More Than $300,000 a Year. Details of tho plan by which the Pennsylvania Railroad Company will pension its old employes has been given out. The pension fund is to bo estab lished January 1, 1900, and the com pany is to contribute the money neces sary 'or its operation. A board of officers has been created and invested will full power to make and enforce rules and regulation us to the, cure and disposal of tho fund, and adopt such means as may be necessary to deter mine the eligibility of employes to re ceive benefits therefrom, and to lix the amount of allowance to bo paid in each case. This fund will affect tho entire force of employes on tho lines of tin; system east of Pittsburg and Erie. Employes 70 years of ago. and over will be considered as having attained the maximum age limit for active ser vice and will be retired and placed upon tho pension fund roll, while those whose agos range from 65 to 69 years, and who havo become physically disqualified or incapacitated, after thirty or more years of service, may bo oithor volun tarily or arbitarlly retired and pension ed. The plan of pension allowance will provido for an amount in eadi case to bo determined on tho basis of average regular pay for a specific period im mediately preceeding retirement. Such employes as are members of the relief fund, upon retirement, will be granted an additional allowanco on a fixed basis in proportion to tho amount they contributed while a membernf the relief fund. It is also proposed t,o amend the regulations of the relief fund so as to secure disability benefits at half rates, to bo paid in case of sickness or disa bility to pensioners. An Important feature of the regula tion governing tho pension fund is a means of protection afforded such by the fixing of an age limit for admission to tho service of the company. This restriction provides that after January 1 next no person shall bo permanently employed who is more than 35 years of An exception to this rule permits former employes desiring reinstatement to re-enter the service. The company may also employ men temporarily, re gardless of the age limit and physical condition, for a period not exceeding six months. It it estimated that tho fund will ro quiro an outlay on the part of the rail road company exceeding $300,000 per year. VIENNA: BAKERY. J. B. LAUBACH, Prop. Centre Street, Freeland.
