A Specimen of Scranton Pluck.

- SpCSIlltCN VI SIi dIltOU Y luGhs
1t was 8 O'Clock yesterday morning
when Arthur rockingham first learned
that his handsome Arcade property,
with all its contents. had been reduced
to utter ruin. The news reached him
at his breakfast table, in the graphic
account printed in yesterdays extra
edition of THE TRIBUNE. At . o'clock
Mr.. rockingham gave orders to begin
at once the work Of clearing away the
debris, preparatory to the property's re.
construction. Before the fremen had
ceased playing streams Of water on the
charred and cracking timbers. work -
men were shoveling the refuse into
carts. and plans were being formed for
the Buildings restoration.
This blunt statement Of the case con
veys only u portion Of the real fact.
While Mr.. rockingham was coolly
directing this immediate task of recon.
struction, all the plans and papers and
paraphernalia of bis new theater, many
of his accounts, books and business
statements and a portion of his inan-
cial our were lying in a charred
mass underneath the ruins. The whole
thread Of a magnificent new enterprise
was rudely snapped at the very mo-
ment that it had reached hopeful sym
metry and form But for all that, the
theater, Itself happily uninjured, will

ton. And it is said that within Il few
days Mr.. Scranton has justified the
statement by personally announcing his
candidacy. In Yiew of the peculiar con-
ditions which now confront the coun-
try aud the manifest wisdom of the ap.
parent determination of the advocates
and adherents or the protective tariff
policy in all parts of tue country to
send to the house Of representatives of
the Fifty-fourth congress men of ex-
perience in national legislation and Of
tried courage in resisting the encroach =
ments on that policy, Mr.. Scranton,
bis friends say, has been urged to con-
sent to a denomination by a large
number of the people of all classes and
by some of the leaders Of the Rspubli-
can party.
There a be 10 question as to Mr..
Scranton's fidelity to the IL of pro,

of cordial support throughout the
county. The ex-mayor is a stanct
Republican and protectionist and has
done the party great service in the
past. The situation at present prom
ises a lively convention. 1t is not the
purpose of this paper to take sides in
the controversy between these two
gentlemen. We are for the nomine,

because a wheel ia guaranteed for hard
road use for twelve months that n
rider is expected to climb six-inch
curb stones, scorch over cobblestone

or make flying leaps into the saddle,
because the mounting step is not for
ornament but uae. To enjoy the ease

must use reasonable care. Ride as
fast as you can or like on good roads,
