interested in the affair are beginning

Charles f.. Lee admitted this morning
that Binghamtons prospects OF seCur-

In court Yesterday morning arGu-
ment was heard on the rule to suhsti-
tute the name of Frank ]. Dickert for
Fred l.. Terppe in the quo warranto
proceedings instigated by John J. Muir
ply who claims the office Of poor dt-
rector, from what was formerly the
old South ward of Scranton. The pur-
pose of the proceedings is to legally
ascertain whether poor directors should
he elected or appointed. Mr. Murphy
was elected one year ago and at once
had quo warranto proceedings begun
i'm the name of the commonwealth To
test the right of f. l.. Terppe to hold
the seat. Mr.. Terppe was appointed by
Judge Archibald.
While the matter was pending Mr.
Terppe resigned, and after the appoint
ment Of his successor, Mr.. Dickert, the
court was asked to substitute the lat
ters name for Mr.. Terppe's. A rule
to show cause why this should not be
allowed was granted at the time ana
was made returnable yesterday.
Attorney John e. SCragg, for the
poor board presented brief to Judge
Gunster yesterday protesting against
the substitution. He said Mr.. Terppc 5
appointment was irregular as the rep
rasentative of the old South ward, from
the fact that he did not reside within
the boundaries Of that ward. If he had
no right to the office. quo warranto
proceedings against him would have
no standing
die further stated that Mr Murphy
was again a candidate this year, ana
was elected, thereby forfeiting his right
to prosecute the proceedings begun II
year ago Judge Gunster refused 70
consider tnat argument. 1t is the COM
monwealth not Mr.. Murphy that is the
plaintiff in the proceedings, he said
Attorney /. II. Burns, who represents
Mr. Murphy, urged early Considera-
tiun Of the matter by the court He
said the proceedings were Degun year
| ago, and at every stage Of their pro-
gress Mr.. SCragg had come forward
with some kind Of an objection or re-
! quest evidently made for the sole pur-
pose of delay. II is an important mat
| ter Mr.. Burns said. and he hoped the
| court would permit them to get it into
| such shape as to permit Of any early
/ adjudication.
/ JuGge Gunster, after listening to the
/ arguments, took the papers in the case.

FIREBUGS At WORK.
House on The Smith Estate and Barn Belonging
10 Mr.. Daily Burned.

Quite a picturesque spectacle was
given the Inhabitants Of North Provi-
dence last night by the aid of tramps.
An old red house, owned by the Smith
heirs. situated on Windmill hill, which
is just over the town line i'm Pawtuck-
ct. was set on fire about o'clock. The
house being very old and dry burned
like tinder and the flames could be seen
for miles around. Joseph Beach, an old
inhabitant OF Windmill hill, said the
fire started in a small shed which ad-
iOined the house. The house had not been
occupied for some time because OF lts
dilapidated condition. Th@ windows ana
doors were broken and the building was
worthless -a-Aabitation. Its Location
on the top of a steep hill made II im-
possible for the fire apparatus 10 reach
III. About ten minutes after the hre was
discovered in the Smith house, another
blaze was seen In a barn owned by Mi
chael Daily. The barn contained some
live stock which was lost. and the barn
itself was entirely gutted. Both nres
were caused by incendiaries.

VANDERBILT WEALTH AND SOCIALISM.

Suppose all this had been transferred

wealth, as the envious and simple

the Old IRON parceIed out. Division OF
the surplus income actually consumed
by Mr.. Vanderbilt would have reduced
il TO insignificant atoms. Most Of the
regular income from all large proper
