SKETCH OF HIS CAREER.

Everett Warren was born in Scranton,
Aug. q, 1859, His father, II. +. Warren,
now head bookkeeper at the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western car shops,
was one Of the early settlers of Scranton.
having located there in 1858, when the en- =
tire population Of what is now the fourth
city III the state comprised less than 900
persons.
In his twelfth year, after having at
tended the public schools Everett was
fired with the ambition to acquire n col
legiate education. In order to prepare
himself for admission to college young
Warren studied Latin and Greek in Mer-
rill's Academic school, paying his tuition
there by money earned by working in the
mornings, as carrier boy for the Scranton
Republican and Times, while the latter
paper was conducted by Aaron Augustus
Chase.
After years service as cash boy in the
old Boston store the young man became a
clerk in A. H. Winton's law oflics. This
probably decided his future career. The
environment Of law office seemed ma
tural to him. In 1875 he entered the
Office Of Hand d Post, the senior partner
in which Hon. Alfred Hand, after became
a justice of the supreme court Of Pennsyl-
vania For two years young Warren acted
as law clerk, office boy and general
factotum, receivin. therefor a modest
salary, three-fourths of which was promptly
paid over, as soon as received, TO Frank
Bentley, who, in the evenings, heard War
ren recite his studies preparatory to en-
tering Yale university.
OFF FOR YALE
1t was not until in the fall of 1877 that
Everett Warren felt prepared to start for
New Haven "to college" The circum-
stances Of that journey are interesting as
illustrating the possibilities open in this
country to all who have energy enough to
seizs them. Major Warren speaks of the
event with some reserve, but those inti-
mate with him at the time recall with in
terest that when no began his university
career, he had altogether only $40 in
money; and, in order to economize in cart
age, wheeled his own trunk to the depot
under cover of the night. Northumberland.
ing this modest beginning, his university
career was eminently successful In addi-
tion to graduating with credit in 1881
Major Warren, while at Yale, helped to
establish the Yale News, which speedily
became the leading college newspaper in
Jhe COuHJEyi dlu was dlLOug Tue foremost
OF his class in literary and forsenic work
Immediately after his graduation Major
Warren resumed the study of law, this
time in the office of E. N Willard, then
as now the leading attorney at the Lacka-
wanna bar. In September, 1882, Major
Warren was admitted to the bar and on
the same day became Mr. Wizards junior
partner, the firm name changing to Will
lard g. Warren. For ten years this firm
remained unchanged. With increasing
years Mr.. Willard has gradually trans
ferred the bulk Of active practice in ii o
courts upon Major Warren's shoulders, re-
serving for himself the duties of conhden-
tial adviser and counsel. Under these cir
cumstances the legal business of the firm
became so great that July /, 1892, Judge
II. A.Knapp was admitted as a third mem

Says That He Made the Bridge Plans
With No Cnronanx,

Says That He Made the Bridge Plans
With No Company Assistance.
The statement Of Mr.. Sweeney, of com.
mon council, that City Engineer Phillips
did not make the bridge plans which were
submitted by him, aud the intimation that
the Pottsville Iron and Bridge company
was permitted to suggest just how the
bridges should be built, has brought forth
vigorous denial from Mr.. Phillips.
"Myself and corps" said Mr., Phelps
"drew these plans and specifications and
was not influenced by any company in any
of my actions. Neither the Pottsvill Iron
and Bridge company nor any other bridge
company saw those plans before they were
submitted All these suspicious arise
from the fact that Mr. Brown of the King
Bridge company and Mr.. Lewis OF u .
Pottsville company were in the city on I'll. q
evening when the Linden street bridge
plans went to select council. Each sus.
poets that the other had something to do
with the working OF the plans and hence

EXTENT OF THE LOSSES

L[NlIaNl w IllE LOSSES,
The houses TO the north, excepting
that Of Timothy Lydon, were insured
and the loss to the owners will not be
so great. A total list of the damage is
appended
The first impression was that lamp
exploded in the cellar of Coyne's store,
but every member Of Coynes family
declares positively that there was no
lamp left burning in the cellar after
the store was closed up for the night.
John j. Coyne is firmly of the belief
that his store was set on fire and, al
though he has no substantial ground
on which to base his assertion, he
thinks the fire was started for the pur-
pose of robbery.
A HOUSE LOOTED.
The dwelling of Thomas Murphy,
on Vine street, was robbed Of $3.50 10
the excitement. Mr.. Murphy and
family left the house unlocked and
after the fire was over, when they en-
turned the trunk in the bed room was
burst open and that amount stolen.
Other families complain of having
missed small amounts Of money, and
the general impression is that the fire
was started to aid the pillagers in &c.
curing booty.
Yesterday afternoon searchers in the
ruins Of the Coyne building found
lump of gold as large as
an inkstand crusted together. The
value of the gold is considered to rep
resent $155. 1t was yellow coin which
Mrs. Coyne had stored away in her
trunk along with $3.50 in greenbacks.
AT S o'clock yesterday morning Col.
onel L. H. Ripple drove to Minooka
and looked over the ruined homes. He
acquainted himself with tue amount of
loss and having been satisfied of the
destitution which will follow the fire,
he ordered that a statement of
the loss of each individual be furn.
ished. Colonel Ripple was seen
at his Office by TRIBUNE reporter yes
terday afternoon, to whom he stated
that an appeal to the public will be
made for subscriptions for the relief Of
the fire sufferers.
William Connell will head the sub
scription list and any further remit
tances from charitably disposed persons
can be sent to Colonel E. II. Ripple in
care of The TRIBUNE, and all donations
will be acknowledged through the col
umns of this paper

duality Of Food Furnished to Prisoners
at the Station House Objected To.
Nine out of the eighteen tramps who
were working on the chain gang COM

food furnished them yesterday morning.
They said the meat was so stale that they
could not eat it, and that the bread and
coffee were anything but nourishing. The
chleI investigated aud found that they had
pretty good grounds for complaint.

ment, in conversation with a TRIBUNE re-

was not worth what is paid for it. The

eastern Pennsylvania, for which pre-emi.
nence it is undoubtedly indebted in no
small degree to Major Warren's industry
and aggressiveness, characteristics, by the
way, for which he Is noted.
AN UNFLINCHING REPUBLICAN,
In politics Everett Warren has been,
under any and all circumstances, a stall
wart Republican. There is a militant
strain in his makeup which permits no
surrender and no compromise. A hard
fighter for his friends before convention,
he became no less a champion of the con-
vention's nominees afterward He has
never bolted and never scratched Repub.
lican ticket, and has never coun ted the cost
of advocating Republican principles.
When in 1884, in the old Chckering hall,
in New York, there assembled the first
convention of the newly organized Nation
al League Of Republican clubs. Major War
rem was present as a delegate from the
Central Republican club of Scranton, to-
gether with Hon. Louis A. Watres:
and in the subsequent election of
National league officers was the
unanimous choice of the Pennsylvania
delegation for treasurer. In the follow
ing April, when the State league organ

tie for the league presidency at the Scrau-
ton convention three years ago is well re-
membered. In that contest Major Warren
was urged by many friends to enter as
compromise candidate between Congress.

Dalzell, Of Pittsburg. He did not win the
battle, but he won many new and staunch
friends, who, recognizing the odds at
which he fought them, decided to remem-
convention, one year ago, Major Warren
was again chosen one of the vice presi-
dents Of the league, and his election to the
presidency at the Forthcoming Harrisburg
convention will, therefore, come to him
fairly, in the nature Of we'll deserved
promotion,
