A DOUBLE WEDDING.
Two of the Quartette We're Twins
and All are Youthful.

Yesterday morning John Williams, Of
Mayfield, and Rose Sweeney. of Wand
ling, secured a marriage license in Clerk
of the Courts Thomas office. and, short
ly afterwards, John Davis and May
Williams, of Mayfield, came in and Sc
cured a license. The man in the first
case and the woman in the second gave
the same place of birth, their parents
names were similer-J Ohm and Chariot
ta-they were born in the same year,
1874, and looked very much alike. 1t
was none of the clerks business so he
asked no questions other than those
prescribed by law, but. howsomever
he had but one guess coming and that
was that the Williams children were
twins.
The fact that they requested that the
granting of the licenses should be kept
out of the papers led the clerk to also
conjecture that 1t was a double run
away match. This belief was height
ened during the afternoon when Alder
man Millar gave out to the reporters
that he had performed a double we'd
ding during the day, which ne had
promised to keep out of the papers.

A WOMAN'S PERILOUS POSITION.
Went Into a Drunken Sleep on the
Delaware and Hudson Tracks.

The poor board came very near be-
ing relieved of one of its charges last
evening. Mrs. Jones, of 62O Beech
street, who received monthly allow
ances of outdoor relief, squandered
some of her allowance in a manner
which will cause her to lose her inhu-
ence with at least one member OF the
board. While in the lamentable condi-
tion which resulted from her prodigal-
ity, she fell asleep on the Delaware
and Hudson railroad just below the
Dodgetown crossing.
Her two little children were with her
and tried to rouse her but failing to
do this, and being unable to pull her
off the track they ran for help. Special
officer Lawrence Duhigg, who hap
pened to be passing near by, was Sc
cured. and running to the spot rescued
the woman from her DerilOus position
just as the up-train was whSstling for
the crossing. The children were sent
home and the woman was turned over
to Patrolmen Welsh and Saul, who
locked her up in the central police
station.

The Scranton Traction company will
enlarge its motive power at the Provi-
dence plant within two months by the
addition of 700-horse power engine.

The needs of the institution are great

of inmates. There are those people in
Scranton who never forget the little
orphans or worse than orphans. nor the
feeble old ladies in the Home, but every
year new residents are coming to our
city and their gifts will be greatly ap-
preciated If they will be so kind as to
remember this worthy charity.
The managers hope to see very large
number of additional names on the list
Of donors tomorrow. Gifts of provi-
sions from friends in the country will
be gladly welcomed and clothing. pro-
visions and all articles needed in q
family will be greatly appreciated.

Liquor Dealers association Of Lacka-

Sunday night or Monday morning. En-
trance was effected through a small

more satisfactory to the originator of

ROOFING WITH WOOD.
Criticisms of the Top of the New City
Post Office.


There is any amount of adverse criticism
against the roofing of the new city post
office with wood. Building Inspector Brady
when interview by a reporter of The Star
upon the subject, said:
LIT has occurred to me since my atten-
being put on the new post office that those
who had the matter in charge were making
a great mistake. The liability to fire is
great especially since the loft directly I'M
der it is almost certain to be crowded with
infiammable and combustible ma terial. That
Is certainly not the way to finish fire
proof building"
Chief Paris of the fire department was
very much in earnest when he discussed
the matter He said: NO fire department
in the world could handle n fire under that
roof. In the first place, it's way up In the
clouds, and a fire would get a great deal of
Roadway before We could get anywhere
near it. That roof should be fire-proof,
and the very best fire-proof materials used
in it's construction. If a fire should ever
another patent Office fire on much larger
scale. The fire would spread from one end
of the building to the other, and dropping
on the infiammable materials underneath
would make serious fire. That roof
should be made fire-proof."
Fire Marshal Drew said to Star reporter
this afternoon that he was glad to see
The Star take up the matter Of putting
the frame roof on the city post office build
ing. 1t was just such roof as is being
put on there that caused the serious fire
in the patent Office building. He thinks
that the matter should be remedied now
before it is too late.
