What seems to have been deliberate
attempt to annihilate the whole town of
Sturmerville, in the upper end of this
county, by fire, was made early Friday
morning. That ID did not succeed was
due to no oversight on the part of the
firebugs, who not only started the fire,
but likewise did their best to cripple the
fire department. Fortunately they were
foiled, and the damage done will not ex-
ceed $4,000. At about o'clock fire
was discovered in a building occupied
as a restaurant by Anthony Burlock
An alarm was quickly sent in, and met
with prompt response on the part of
the fire department.
The members Of the local hose com
pany responded, but were amazed to
find that $50 feet of their 1000 feet of
new hose pipe was worthless, it being
cut through at almost every foot. The
new rubber nozzle was slashed from end
to end and the hose carriage was locked
in the hose house in such manner that
it could not be gotten out without con
siderable trouble and hard labor.
The fire company realized at once
that their efforts would be of no avail to
quench the flames and couriers were dis
patched to West Pittston and Wyoming
for help. The hose companies of Shese
two towns responded promptly, attached
their hose to the hydrants and turned
on the water.
Dismay again struck the fircmen,
when it was found that the water would
not come. Upon investigation it was
found that every fire plug that could be
used was stuffed with old bags, etc
These obstacles were taken out as
quickly as possible and the water turned
on the buildings, which were by this
time seething mass of flames and
beyond control.
Seeing that nothing could be done to
save the properties on fire, the iiremen
turned their attention to the adjoining
buildings and succeeded in saving them
from the fiery tend. Two of the ruined
buildings were owned by Edward
Mackin. In these, besides the restau-
rant run by Anthony Burlock, was
another run by Charles Cusick. The
other building was Il double block owned
by Charles Moses and occupied by him
on one side as restaurant. On the
other side liquor was also dispensed.
BurlOck'S loss will amount to 81 900; he
has no insurance. Little or nothing was
saved from any of the buildings, and the
total damage done will amount to $10,-
900. The buildings were insured and
two of the occupants had insurance on
their household goods.

Died Suddenly on SATURDAY..

John Brennan died suddenly on Satur-
day afternoon at his residence on Ridge
street. He had been unwell for few
days previous, but his condition was not
thought serious, and death was not look
ed for until a few minutes before the
end. Some months ago he suffered from
u severe attack, which somewhat weak
ened his constitution, but he had APP
parently recovered from that illness.
The deceased came to America from
Ireland over thirty years ago. lie set
tied at Buck Mountain, afterwards lived
in Drifton and came here with his family
about fifteen years ago, Besides his
wife the following sons and daughters
survive him: John, of Drifton; James,
Francis, Andrew, Peter, Annie and Mrs.
Daniel Gallagher, Freeland, and Mrs.
Mark Campbell, Hazleton. Funeral an

Opposing the Party Nominee,

The Philadelphia Press, the greatest
Republican newspaper in the state has
opened fire on the state treasury and is
daily exposing the corruption that exists
in this department. The Press some
years ago threatened to lift the lid off the
treasury, but was prevailed upon to hush
the matter This year, however, the can
didate for treasurer is man whom Quay
can rely upon to hide the crookedness of
this Office, and as the Press is the leader
of the anti-Quay faction it will not re-
main quiet. There is strong senti-
ment in the state against retaining a
Quay man as treasurer, and if the
Democrats nominate reliable man
many Republicans will openly oppose
Beacon. The Philadelphia Ledger has
bolted the Republican candidate, and
the Press independence has badly scared
the Quayites

Now Naturalization Methods.

The work of filling out papers for and
alton papers, according to the present
method in vogue in Luzerne county, has
given no end of trouble to the coart
and the officials whose duty it is to fill
out the necessary forms whether the APP
plicant is refused or granted papers. In
fact, so many are the defects of the
present system and such source of
annoyance has it proved to all concern
ed, that Judges Bennett and Lynch and
Prothonotary Llewellyn, in recent COLI
sultation, decided that the only thing to
do is to effect Il radical change in the
method which has been so long in use
Accordingly Judge Bennett set himself
to work drawing up new form which
applicants for naturalization papers will
have to fill out and present to court.
The old method will be abolished the
first week in September and the new
one will take its place. All the defects
and annoyances of the old way will be
done away with.
Naturalization court will be held the
week beginning September 2s. The
new application blank will be used at
this term, but afterward every applicant
will have to be represented by an at
torney and have his application papers
on file thirty days before they can be
heard. Naturalization court will be
held only five times year on daVs set
apart for that purpose.

Fatal Gas Explosion in Boston.

mained wheel, lamp, and a few bits of
kindling wood. The horse was killed.
