At about nine o clock last Friday night, as
Mr. James c. Brown was walking through the
hall on the third floor Of the Exchange Hotel
towards his room, he noticed Il light shining
over the transom of small unoccupied room
at the further end of the building. On ap-
preaching the room the light was suddenly eX-
tingushed and man stepped into the hall,
closing the door behind him. The hall was so
dark that Mr.. Brown could not distinguish who
the person was, but on speaking to him recog-
nzed him at once as llarman A. Kramer, who
had been employed in the hotel. After kra-
mer had gone out of sight Mr. Brown spoke to
two of the insurance agents, who were i'll their
rooms, and together they entered the small
room. On a table were found three large box
cs of parlor matches, containing some five hum
dred each, one of them was uninjured, ,one had
been ignited and was still warm, and one the
contents ofwhich had been scattered over the ta-
| bic and floor and which had evidently been set
on fire. The window of the room was closed.
as was also the transom over the door, and il
is probable that the closing Of the door shut of
| all air and eXtingushed the flames. Acting on
these suspicious circumstances, warrant wa:
| procured and Kramer was taken before j. j
Brewer, Esq, for hearing. He told conflict
ing stories Us to the reason for his being in tina
part of the house, and could not explain how
or when he obtained such quantity of matches
and could only state that he had nothing to d,
with setting the house on fire. Esq. Browe
declined to take ball. and Kramer was sent t.
Jail. A search in the basement of the eas
wing of the hotel revealed coal oil barrel wit
several augur holes bored in the top and cotto
waste scattered on the ground around. Thi
barrel had, of course, been fixed since the fire
as the augur found lying near it showed n
. signs of either smoke or water.
Kramer had been ordered to leave the hot'
twice during the day, but had pleaded to be a
) lowed to spend the night there, When detail
ed in the office whilst the warrant was pr'
cured, he was very anxious to go away.

The New Town Hall at Aver The elegant
structure is now complete. In beauty of design
it surpasses anything of its kind in the State
Constructed of brick and dark marble it is as
permanent as it is charming. The English
architects have adorned it in subdued colors,
which please without firing the eye. DIR. j.
G. Aver built and gave it to the town in ac-
knowledgme,t,of the distinction they conferred
upon him in taking his name. Although it is
generous gift, still the hearty good wishes of
whole people are of greater value, and the
generous donor has doubtless secured them.-

Luzerne county ought to be ruled by the
democrats, but it ian't-on the contrary the
majority of official In that county have been
Republicans for years past The Republicans
have chuckled nightly over this fact but since
the recent investigation has brought to light
innumerable instances of pecnation, malfeas-
ance and general "cussedness," there isn't so
much jubiation. Mr.. Forney's Press now
speaks of Luzerne as "a staunch Democratic
stronghold" That sort of yarn may gull For
won't do.up this way where the facts are known.

THE FIRE.

An investigation of the Exchange Hotel
building since the fire, shows that the flames
had made great progress in the east wing, de-
stroying the floor, and had attained such head
way towards the second story that it seems al
most Incredible that they were subdued. One
of the insurance adjusters, who was here last
week said that it was the best fought fire he
had ever known" considering the means of ex-
tinguishment at hand The firemen are GER
tainly entitled to the highest praise for their
successful g orts to save this fine building.
In the cellar of the east wing barrel of coal
oil was found, with its slaves burned to char
coal and so nearly destroyed that the oil leaked
through, the next day, and had to be pumped
into another barrel. Had this caught fire and
exploded, as il doubtless would have done, moth
ing could have saved the house from destruc-
otn.
The work of restoration was begun on Mon
day. by Charles Krug, who has taken the con-
tract to place the building in as good condition
as before the fire for $l325 After the second
attempt at incendiarism, escribedelsewhere,th the
agents removed all insurance, and at present
the house is without protection of this nature.
1t is probable that the hotel will be reopened
before long, as the property is too valuable to
be allowed to remain unoccupied but under
what conditions it is impossible at this time tc
state.
Had the plan of destruction proved success
| ful, it would have been loss TO the people
the town and county, for the hotel was cred
to both. No finer or better furnished establish
ment can be found in this part Of the State, anC
it is doubtful if, in these hard times, it woul'
have been replaced by one equal in any res
pect.
