PErFRsBrRg. Va, May 2.-The tobacco
rebate claims in the Second internal reye-
nue. district, which embraces one hall or
the State Of Virginia, have, with few eG-
ceptions. all been allowed by the Treasury
Department at Washington, and the drafts
delivered to the claimants.
Many Of these claims were paid nearly q

At the present time only twenty of these
claims remain unsettled at Warrington

seven in Norfolk and Portsmouth, and
eight in other sections OF the district.
There may be complaints IN other districts

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN SCRANTON.
The Republican Newspaper HeavJ
Loser-Other Sufferers.
an telegraph % De Dispatch.l


SCRANTON, Pa, May 2.-Shortly after ~
o'clock this morning one of the most disas-
trous fires Of recent years in this city broke
out in the barn of the Peoples Street-Rail-
way Company, Linden street. That large
structure and twenty-nine electric-cars
were DESTROYED, and the fire attacked the
rear of tho Republican building, separated
from the barn by narrow alley-way. The
rear part of the four stories OF the RepuJ.t-
can building was Quilted, and the fire
caught on the roof, eating It's way between
the floors. The most strenuous eIertlOns
OF tho fremen were for naught.
At o'clock the fire was under control,
but the immense Republican building is
partial wreck, nearly the entire struc-
ture being soaked with water, the rear WIN
dows burned away, the rear roof gone,
holes cut through the floors and ceilings,
and great part of the furniture in the
Offices and printinR-rooms utterly ruined.
The rear part Of st. Luke's church also
suffered badly, and the roof of q. w.
Dunn's blacksmith-shop, on Linden street,
millinery BODYBUILDING. facing on WYo-
ming avenue. was badly damaged.
A low estimate fixes the loss of Peoples
Street-Railway Company at $4,000 and it
may run $4,000 beyond that amount.
The fire and water loss in the Republican
building will probably reach over this.
One of the worst features of the fire
is the fact that in great part the damage
done TO the Republicans magnific ent new
home cannot be repaired. In addition to
the loss to the Republcdn already men,
toned, its loss on It's presses and stock in
the lob department will be fully SO 900
more. The entire loss will reach 800. 900
The fire originated IN the oil-room of the
street-car barn. torch having ignited a
large piece of waste there.
SCRANTON, Pa. May THE latest esti-
mate of the loss caused by this mornings
disastrous fire fixes it at $4,000. The
Peoples Street-Railway Company lost
thirty cars valued at $500 each, and the
| entire car service Of the city is crippled.
The company is putting forth every posi-
bic exertion and will be running catsas
usual within a week.
