tiring President a. F.. Morse presided

WASH HOUSE BURNED

The Hampton breaker was threatened
with destruction late yesterday after
noon by the burning down of the wash
house. Fortunately the building is
small and stood just far enough away
to prevent the heat igniting the break
er building, But the engine house
which stood nearer was afire several
times and had this gotten beyond con-
troll, the rest could not have been
saved. The Hampton is one of the
chain of breakers which the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western company
control in the Keyser valley and is a
large structure, containing the most
modern breaker machinery. In addi-
tion to the consequent loss should a
fire have resulted several hundred men
and boys would have been thrown out
of employment

Editor of The Tribune.

Editor of The Tribune
Sir In justice to the Scranton Lied
erkranz and to Mr. Fenyvessy kindly
allow me a word Of explanation in refer
ence to your article of Saturday and this
morning. Both the Liederkranz and Mr..
FenyYessy have made every effort that
only clean shows shall be given. The
lease with Mr. Fenvessy expressly for
bids all unclean and immoral shows.
Acting in line with this provision of the
lease, Mr.. Fenyvessy on opening the
season had printed and posted in con-
spicuous places in the hall large card
posters, plainly calling the attention OF
show managers TO this clause in the lease
and warning them that they would be
held responsible for any loss that might
accrue to him by reason of the prOduc-
tion OF any improper performance. More
over TO my personal knowledge he has
voluntarily cancelled one or more shows
that he had reason to believe were OBJ
jectionable.
AS a result of his care no Objectionable
performance was given previous to last
Thursday evening. The show manager
was Immediately called to account for
the improperly of a portion of that eve
ning's performance by Mr.. Fenvessy in
my presence and strongly warned not to
repeat that portion, which he then prom
Used not to do. on Friday evening Mr..
Fenvessy was out Of the city, and rely
ing on the show managers promise,
did not myself remain in the hall to OBJ
serve the performance. Apparently his
absence and mine were taken advantage
of and the Objectionable feature repeat
ed. on Saturday morning l warned Mr.
Mack, the show manager, that if he at
tempted a repetition on that afternoon
or evening / would have the curtain rung
down and the show closed. The objec-
tionable feature then ceased.
Under the circumstances we can not
hold Mr.. Fenvessy blamable. and we be-
lieve we are not blamable ourselves. The
standard of the shows heretofore given
has been equal to that of the shows given
at the Academy or the Lyceum, and we
will promise the public that 1t shall be
kept so hereafter.
Yours respectfully,
q. +. G.. Dimler,
Hall Manager,
