1t Cost fackaWanna County $4,000
Last Year to Maintain 1t.
NUMBER OF PRISONERS THERE
This County Had Sovcnty.ciSht on the
Roll During the fcar-Thcy Earned
Amounts Aggrcgating SSl6.O7.
Those Who Earned the Most.

| 1t cost the taxpayers of Lackawanna
county $2,966.1S for the keeping Of con-
victed felons last year at the Eastern
penitentiary in Philadelphia.
There We're seventy-eight prisoners in
the penitentiary during the year. and
they served q total of q, $50 days at the
rate of IS cents a day, making total
of $3,S07. From this amount there was
deducted the sum of $S46.07, credited for
work done by the convicts during the
year. Deducting that amount would
leave a balance OF $2960.93 but there is
an item of $525 charged for clothing
furnished to prisoners who were dis
charged.
The taxpayers will, no doubt, be in
terested in reading the amounts earned
by the different prisoners: James Bar
rett, who murdered an Italian at Dun
more, leads the list with $3.50 to his
credit; Charles Engle, sent down for
completely in the attempt to rob the
Dunmore Daymaster of the Spencer
Coal company, earned 5000; stephen
De Ayala, who murdered his wife at the
May House, earned $53.SO; Thomas
Burning, of Bellevue, the slayer of
Peter Martin, earned $3.50; Paul Hydo
is the next on the list with $50. Hydo
was convicted of the crime of killing
a fellow-man at Dickson.
Ira Fox, the brute who ravished the
little girl on the West Side, earned
$19.24 He has been in the penitentiary
since May 23 last. Joseph Noack, who
is serving a sentence for murder, came
next with the amount of $l2 to his
credit.
Mrs. MelinZo Boughton, the colored
woman who killed a man few years
ago on the West Side, earned $G.l4;
John Merrigan, the Providence barn
burner, comes forward with dhe item
of $4.26 to his credit; and Joseph Judge,
| who is serving "a siX-year sentence for
the murder of Joseph Taumalinas, at
Park Place, a few years ago, earned
S2.3i.
Peter Hombach, who twice burned
| the Elm Park church, did not earn Il
cent; nor did Augustine Nolli, who mur-
dered Cohcordio Prignanno, at Dun
more. Barney Mcmahon, who mur-
dered his wife at Providence by neglect
ing her and assaulting her with hot
| poker. was sentenced to two years and
he earned nothing.
That completes the list of those con-
fined at the penitentiary who are i
charge upon the taxpayers of this
county.

DOG SAVED THEIR LIVES.
Arouses the Sleeping Occupants of q
Burning Dwelling Two Houses Des.
North End

Burning Dwelling - Two Houses Des.
troyed and Others Damaged in the
North End.
The intelligence of a ST. Bernard
dng saved the lives of q whole family
in an early morning fire in the North
End yesterday which destroyed two
residences and damaged others
At 4.45 o'clock John X. Jones was
awakened by the whining and scratch
ing of his st. Bernard dog at the door
of the large double dwelling on Par.
ker street, and Hollister avenue. Mr.
Jones found the house filled with q
dense smoke. He aroused his family
and they escaped, after donning few
garments.
When the firemen arrived the flames
were discovered in the rear and on the
first floor. The hydrants were frozen
and by the time stream of water was
flowing the house was beyond saving
and the adjoining house of Joseph
Luttey was a mass of flames. This
house was also destroyed although
nearly all the furniture was saved.
Mr. Jones loss of ST. 800 on the build
ing and $4,000 on the furniture is par
TALLY covered by an insurance of 81, 500
Mr.. Luttey has only small insurance
to meet the loss of $500 on his house
and $500 on the furniture. The resi-
dence of Patrick May was slightly dam
aged Other dwellings, caught fire, but
the damage is slight.
In responding to the alarm the Lib
erty Hose company cart collided with a
post and mail box in front of Mulleys
store. The box was demolished and
the letters strewn in all directions.

sionally during the week engaged in
the rigorous drill of the business mems
gymnasium class under the direction of
Professor Weston.
From time to time in the history of
the Young Mems Christian association
its existence was maintained and it's
usefulness preserved to the community
by the invincible determination of one
or two men who assumed large share
of the burden and with steadfast pur-
pose strengthened the faltering and
discouraged workers. Such a man was
William Connell who took the presl-
dency of the association in 1854. From
his first annual report, read at the
seventeenth anniversary, appears this
extract which shows how strongly he
urged upon the association workers an
entrance into a broader field of useful
ness than it had before attained:
I'VE realize that our work is only be-
gun, and that there are higher planes Of
labor and success for us to occupy, and
we see no reason why this association
should be longer deprived of the neces-
sary appliances to prosecute its objects
and aims to their fullest extent. =
A building should be erected in this
city dedicated to the Young Mems
Christian association. We appeal to
you for your prayers, your sympathy,
your money and your appreciation of
the work We are engaged in"
How They Raised $4,000.
For years those best acquainted with
this work in Scranton had been con-
vinced that a building was essential to
its permanency.
Every effort to secure one proved
abortive. 1t was suggested that Mr..
Moody be invited to Scranton to hold
a convention. He accepted the invita-
tion, and ON Jan. % began a series
of meetings that eliminated in sub
scriptions to the amount of 100000,
which was soon increased to a sum
sufficient to complete the front portion
of the present building.
In 1886 Mr.. Conneli again reported for
the association as president, and con-
cluded by saying: 1T is absolutely
necessary that we shall complete the
rear building in which is situated the
gymnasium and hall. While our friends
have responded nobly, me must still
continue to CALL and they to bear with
our importantly, feeling assured that
the time is not far distant when they
will have cause for rejoicing that they
have had part in an institution whose
possibilities are so grand"
Is Lasting Monument.
The association has not forgotten
what it owes to the man whose hand
was at the helm in the very inception
of the building movement and who re-
tired from the presidency only after
the success of the project had been as
sured. Among many monuments to
Mr.. ConnelTs interest in the develop
ments of Scranton there are none more
enduring than his share in the erection
of the noble building on Wyoming ave-
nue. which is today verltab.e beehive
of youthful activity and Christian en-
tarpricp

1t Is curious fact that when man
gets hold of a good thing he is not in
clined to let go of it. In this connection
it is interesting to note that at least %
per cent. Of the men who have for. say,
twenty years, been prominently identi-
fled with Scrantons growth-at least 80
per cent. of these have some kind of in
terest in the Young Mems Christian as
sociation.
If they are not officers of the associa-
tion or actively engaged in its manage
ment they continue to contribute to its
support. The numbers of men who
helped the Scranton association years
ago still retain their interest-"they
have good thing and don't let so of
it," That is one of the reasons for the
constant progress of the association.
A Case in Point.
An illustration is found in the case
of eX-Judge II. A. Knapp, who served
the association as president in 1882 and

DANGER THREATENED.
Fire Hydrants Frozen and in Useless
Condition.

Serious conhagrations and conse-
quent loss of property and perhaps
lives seems imminent unless the fire
hydrants in several sections of the city
are put in proper condition. Many
are either frozen or surrounded by
hanks of snow and inaccessible to
steamers and hose companies. At AS
o'clock yesterday morning two dwell
ings were destroyed and other houses
damaged by fire in the North End
owing to the frozen hydrants.
The companies which responded to
No. % box early yesterday morning
were unable to make connections with
the hydrant at Adams avenue and Pine
street. The top of the hydrant was
found to be flush with the ice and
frozen surface of the street. The fire
was in the house Of William Kelly. on
Adams avenue, and was extinguished
by the Phenix Chemical company.

TRAMP'S STRANGE REQUEST
fic Asked Druggist Humphrey for u Cak
of SOap

Druggist d. w. Humphrey, of Pitts
ton avenue, has a remarkable story to
relate about an experience that befel
him yesterday morning. He was seated
behind the prescription case at work
upon his books; the door opened and
his clerk walked out to wait upon the
intending purchaser. A geunine, true
blue knight of the road had entered
and he politely asked the clerk for Il
cake of soap.
The clerk was not prepared for the
shock and Immediately sustained an
attack of heart failure. Mr.. Humphrey
walked out to see what was the matter
and saw his employe gasping for breath.
When he found out the cause of it all.
he too, became faint; but after he re-
covered the tramp got as much soap,
gratis, as he could carry and was told
to come back for more as soon as that
was used.

And so il we can next year, over
throw the evil powers which now rule
our country. and place it where every
step of the future will be step for
ward toward perfect justice, we shall
have done a tremendous work. We
shall have changed the trend of affairs
and the movement of mankind.
There is homely adage which speaks
OF "biting off more than you can
chew" If you ever tried it you will
realize the force of the metaphor.
And in doing this we are not actu-
ated by hatred of the money-lenders.
We are simply saving them from
themselves. If the shareholders of
1860 had had good sense slavery would
have continued to exist to this day.
In 1861 the Republican party, in Con-
gress, passed laws to make it eternal,
il the South would only stay in the
Union; but slavery precipitated a con-
test, just as the Money-power is doing
now, and slavery persisted in it, just
as PlutocracY will assuredly perish
now. '"Those whom the gods would
destroy they first make mad"
The genius ''of common sense"
must be the presiding tutelary god
dess of the Peoples Party. Neither
passion, nor fanaticism, nor extrava-
gance, nor violence can take it's place.
1t is honesty OF purpose controlled by
the possibilities Of human conditions
This will draw all men to it, as the
lode-stcne draws the filings of iron.
This will make the two million Popu-
list votes of 1894 majority in 1896.

As it is long journey, l would much

The foregoing IS very poor and
imperfect picture of one of the
leading Reformers of this State:-
Hon. William Meighen, of Forestville,
Fillmore county:-a strong man, an
able man, an unobtrusiye man.
He commenced life poor man, Of
Irish birth, working, we believe. in
the lead mines of Galena. away back
in the "forties." and he has achieved
from that humble start one of the
largest fortunes in the state. He was
among the fist who dared the over
land journey to California, long before
the day of railroads, and by the toll of
his own hands, in the gold mines, laid
the. foundation of his present wealth.
Quiet. modest but "nervy," he was
sheriff in the mining districts of Him
OILS when they were inhabited by des-
perate population, and mans life
depended upon stout heart and a
quick eye. Such men are rare in any
age and country. They are Normans.
without the rapacty of that cruel
race.
Most men when they become rich
lose all interest in the poor. That has
not been Mr.. Meighen's case. He was
an Anti-Monopolist and Greenbacker
twenty years ago. He was the Green
back candidate for Congress in the
First District Of Minnesota in the
seventies, and polled tremendous
vote. He was repeatedly elected to
the State Senate, even in Fillmore
county, Republican stronghold; and
when the Peoples Party started he
joined it and his time and purse have
always been at it's service. Last week
he and his nephew, Thomas J. Neigh
en-, paid for sac hundred copies of this
paper, for three months, to distribute
among the old-party voters of Fill
more county.
This is the way to press the good
work. We hope to publish a portrait
of Mr.. T. J. Meighen in our next is
sue, as another of the Benefactors of
the Peoples Party of the United
States.
