FIRE On SPRUCE STREET.
Smoke Seriously Damages Friedlauder Il
Co.'S Millinery Stock.

A crowd of several thousand persons
which was discovered at 1890 O'Clock
last night at sos Spruce street, next to
the new Mears building.
Before the source of the dense volume
of smoke which poured from all the
windows in the building was discovered
by the firemen, number of well known
men were rescued by means of
ladders from their perches on win
dow sills of the third floor Two
of the number have living apart
ments in the building and the 9TH
ers were the guests Of the two. After
finding there was fire the party start
ed to make its escape via the halls ana
stairways, but were driven back by
smoke.
The street floor of the structure,
which is a double one, is occupied by
Speicher's barber shop and the mil
linery establishment OF Friedlander &
Co. After a long search the flames
were located in the cellar of the latter
store. The fire had started in pile of
boxes and rubbish In the rear and had
spread to the flooring overhead and to
the cellar stairway leading to the store.
The flames were subdued soon after be-
ing located.
Friedlander & Co. are the only ten
ants who suffered serious loss, and
theirs Is from the damage done by
| smoke to delicate millinery goods. The
| insurance is not known. Two hundred
| dollars will cover the damage to the

YOUNGEST ON RECORD.
Six.Ycar.Od Child Arrested for Assault
ana Battery.

Harold Reed, the son of Groceryman
George Reed, of Kellum court, un-
doubtedly holds the distinction of be-
ing the youngest defendant to face u
bar of justice, in this city or possibly
anywhere else.
Although only six years of age Har-
old was yesterday arraigned before AL
derman John r. Howe, of the Seven
teenth ward. on a. charge Of assault
and battery. The accusation was made
by Robert Hoag. representing his s.
year-old daughter, who, he alleges, was
at divers times. and on Tuesday last in
particular beaten and otherwise in
jured In person by Reeds little boy.
He told the alderman that he had
frequently complained to the Reeds of
their boys actions but 1t seemed to
have no effect in preventing his child
from being abused and when patience
ceased to be a virtue he had recourse
to the law.
The alderman ruled that the child
was not accountable and dismissed the
case. Mr. Reed promised to see that his
boy behaves himself hereafter.

for Ills Fun.

Lew Bennett. an itinerant merchant.
drove his steed through the Capouse
toll gate yesterday without stopping to
settle for the privilege Of inhaling Bou-
lsvard dust. Some time afterward a
nice looking gentleman asked the ped
dler to give him q ride. Mr.. Bennett
readily consented. and at the request
Of the passenger drove down to Dickson
avenue.
The stranger requested Bennett to

Alderman Bailey. He did SO and the
passenger. who proved to be Special Of

soon returned with warrant for the
arrest of the peddler on charge of run
ming toll gates. The alderman came
out and held court on the porch and
imposed fine OF two dollars on Ben

CITY SOLICITORS COMING.
Their Convention Will Begin in This City
on TUESDAY,,

Next Tuesday the solicitors of the
ird-class cities of Pennsylvania will
convene here to consider and formulate
amendments to the act of 1889. 1t is
expected that nearly all Of the twenty
four third-class cities Of the state will
be represented and that as each of them
will have some idea to put forward, the
convention VIII be an interesting and
| important one.
This convention Is the outcome of the
| convention held in Reading last March,
when the mayors, city clerks, city engi-
| neers and city solicitors We're called to-
gether to discuss ways and means for
| securing better government. So many
evils and inadequacies in the act. under
which third-class cities are governed.
were pointed out that 1t was concluded
that body such as made up the Read
ing convention was too unwisldy to
deal eXpditiously with the many ques-
tions brought up, so 1t was decided to
refer the business of the convention to
a committee composed of the city solici-
tors alone, this committee to agree upon
and formulate the amendments which
In their Judgment were desirable and
| submit their actions to a convention of
all city officials to be held at Williams
port in the fall.
| IOINnEI WAS CtfOoEN.
This committee met and chose Scran-
tons city solicitor, James II. Torrey, as
chairman. and City Solicitor Stuart. of
ICarbondale, as secretary. 1t was agreed
then to adjourn to May 10, in this city,
80 that the different cities might have
plenty Of time to find out its wants and
prepare them for presentation. On
May the chairman and secretary sent
out a circular reminding the members
OF the committee Of:the date of the con
vention and requesting them to send on
ahead an outline of any legislation they
intended to introduce. The replies to
these circulars so far received indicate
that the convention will be on extreme
ly busy one.
Among the most important matters
that will come before the solicitors will
be Mr.. Torrey's bill providing for the
creation of the office of receiver OF
taxes. the full text of which was print
ed in Thursdays Tribune On all sides
the greatest commendation Is heard foi
the proposed act and If the prayers OF
the people are listened to this very de.
slrable innovation will be adopted.
| NO DEFINITE PLAN.
No definite plan for the sessions oi
the convention or arrangements for the
entertainment or the visitors has beer
mapped out, but these things will all bc
properly attended to. Mr. Torrey has
secured the use of the select council
chamber for the sessions and Select
Councilmen George Sanderson ant
Wade NJ. Finn have volunteered to looL
. after the entertainment.
The convention will probably last two
days. In case the visitors can stay fol-
three days, trip to Farview or Homes
dale will be one Of the events of the en-
tertainment programme.

traiture she exhibits. Near by is study
by the same artist of a young woman's
head and shoulders that is finished with
great delicacy. Still life on several can
vases by Miss Genung, notably a large
canvas of drapery and vases and
bronzes, is a very strong work, good in
drawing and superior in color. It en-
phasizes what has already been said
concerning this very young worker
that she has abundant talent, necessary
devotion and is exceedingly fruitful of
resource and rich in fancy. That this
young person is endowed by nature as
are but the few will be gaisaid by
none who examine the large number of
pieces shown over her signature.
Flower pieces, still life, portraiture
and figure studies by Mary A Lewis
testify to the growth Of true ability and
assiduous cultivation of native talent
That Miss Lewis has so notably ad-
vanced herself in recent work is very
gratifying, for she has the artistic tenn
permanent, and her direction will always
be along art lines. The still-life work
Of Miss Lucia Heinz, notably the group
OF musical instruments, the strong piece
representing military footwear, the
grouping of some kitchen utensils, and
other still life by her, taken in connec-
ton with the studies in pencil, referred
to earlier in this review, confirm the
judgment already pronounced upon this
young woman's ability. She is richly
endowed by nature with artistic
thought and capacity for expressing it.
She is very young, but with proof of
present ability before one, it requires no
prophetic spirit to point out the future
of this developing artist if she is not
checked in her career. We have no dis
position to f1atter or to quicken hope
unduly, but there can be no mistake
about what we have said in this regard
Miss Hinkson has on view another
example of her success in grapes, a re-
cent canvas of which by her sold in
San Francisco instantly, with demand
for more of the same order. A very ex-
cellent still-life canvas which sold last
evening readily, is by Miss Dunlap.

Laid Against Him.

The examination of Thomas Litchen-

pawnbroker's store, charged with re-
ceiving stolen goods, was concluded in
the Police Court yesterday and resulted
in his discharge.
The testimony showed that when
Litchenstein learned of the theft Of
some diamonds by a young woman
named Fannie Buchanan he notified Po-
lice Captain Ash that he had purchased
a pair of earrings for $50, and later on
Zemansky handed them over to the po-
