EXPLOSION AND FIRE.
Clark e. Scott's Tobacco Factory, a
Barn and a Double Dwelling
House Totally Destroyed.
Boiler Bursts.

Fire this morning at 140 o'clock total
ly destroyed Clark & Scott's Tobacco
factory and Wedeman's bakery at 1412
Penn avenue and the double frame
dwelling adjoining on the south, owned
by the Mrs. Sarah Stewart estate,
and occupied by Miss Efiie Stewart on
one side and Joseph Studley and family
on the other. A small store-house in
the rear Of the factory was also de-
stroyed with its contents-a car load
OF tobacco, which was received the day
before.
The flames broke out in the tobacco
factory. They were preceded by a
loud explosion and the supposition is
that one of the boilers exploded.
The factory building was a frame
structure, 35x70, two stories and base
ment The bakery occupied the larger
portion of the first floor.
The building was owned by c. S.
Seamans and was valued at S3,OOO 1t

was worth $1,S00 and was fully covered
by insurance. The contents were to-
tally destroyed and the occupants had
narrow escapes from being caught in
the flames.
Baker Wedeman carried no insur-
ance. None of the tobacco firm had ar
rived on the scene at o'clock and
the matter of their losses and insur-
ance could not be learned.

EVE OF THE CONVENTION.
concluded from Page II

before tomorrow's state Democratic
convention is as much of puzzle to
the party leaders as to the humblest
worker. With more than a score of
active candidates in the field, it will
require several ballots to make a selec-
tion. The indications are that the
nominee will come from Western
Pennsylvania, because that locality
has no representative on the supreme
bench. The delegates from there be-
lieve they are entitled to the nomina-
tion and efforts are being made to
combine one candidate after the first
ballot.
There are so many candidates in the
east that there it not much likelihood
of a combination among the delegates
from that locality. Judge Kennedy, of
Pittsburg, will probably lead on the
first ballot with 65 of the 435 delegates,
but after that he Is expected to fall
back instead of run ahead. Judge
MestreZat, of Fayette, and George a.
Allen, of Erie. are regarded as formid-
able candidates. Superior Court Judge
Smith, of Scranton, has n large fol-
lowing and after the first ballot It is
thought the friends Of Judge Bechtel,
of Schuylkill, and Judge Lynch, of
Luzerne, will vote for him.
The friends Of ex-Judge Krebs, of
Clearfield. claim he has more in
structed delegates than any other cam
didate west of Dauphin county and that
his chances are very good.
Charles ]. Riley, of Wiliamsaort,
will be permanent chairman of the con-
vention and David B. Brinton, Of Ian
caster, will preside at the temporary
organization. Notices of contests have
been filed from Allegheny and Frank
lin counties and these will be referred
to the credentials committee at the
preliminary organization.
Representative William r. Greasy, of
Columbia, will be nominated for state
treasurer No one is mentioned for
superior court judge. This nominal
tion will depend entirely on what Is
done on the supreme court judge. The
convention will convene at 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning and may continue
until Thursday.
A subcommittee of the executive
committee met this afternoon and
agreed to adopt the plank in the AL
toona platform relating to the national
issues.

Monday, at midnight, the fire
alarm at the Mount Lookout
breaker, owned by the Temple Iron
company. commenced footing and the
signal soon gathered a crowd. 1t was
soon learned that large volumes of
water was pouring from somewhere in
the Pittston vein to the different por-
tions of the mine.
Those inside hurried out and
reported that the dam which was
bricked up several years ago,
and behind which was confined
two million gallons of water, had burst
and was rapidly rushing through the
main gangways. The mine officials, in
Guiding Gilbert Jones, the inside boss,
were notified and they were soon on
the scene.
After 1t was ascertained that
the men were all on the surface,
orders were issued to hoist the mules
as it was at first supposed that the
water came from the Schooley shaft
which is inundated. The huge pumps
in and outside of the mine were put to
work at their full capacity and last
evening the water gradually receded
but 1t will take n few days before the
water can be entirely brought to the
surface.
This mine is located q short
distance south of the Schooley, and II
the water had come from this source
| the accident would have been more
serious, for at present the indications
are that it will be long time before
that mine can be operated again. 1t
was thought last night that the Mount
Lookout will again be able TO resume
| work in a few days.
