There lives out on Columbia Heights<a

whose happiness is centred in three sons.
These youngsters, whose ages range from
Z to II years, are three of the most in
corrigible specimens OF boyhood imagina-

stories pale into insignificance beside the
common, everyday pranks of this trio Of
tow-headed sons and heirs
One day last week-one Of the very hot
test days-the youngsters had gathered
together several urchins, an old bench
and pitcher of lemonade. In their front
yard, beneath the windows of the house,
they dispensed the acid beverage to ali
corners at the reasonable price of two pins
a glass. A perfect swarm OF flies and
bees had collected around the sticky
glasses, and their movement held the at

eldest brother folded piece of paper and

bee. Quick as thought three other young

The answer of Frank j. Dickert. SUBJ
stituted as defendant in the place Of
Frederick l.. Terppe by order of the
court, made the Sd day of April. 1892
was filed yesterday and is in brief as
follows:
After admitting many of the facts
stated i'm the information for quo war
ranto he denies that he was appointed
as director of the Scranton poor dis
trict for that part of the district COM
prising the Eleventh, Twelfth, Nine
teenth and Twentieth wards of the city
of Scranton and AYERS that the old
South ward of the city Of Scranton, as
the respondent understands and be-
lieves the same, did not comprise the
said territory, viz, the Eleventh,
Twelfth, Nineteenth and Twentieth
wards
The respondent denies that Frederick,
l.. Terppe assumed the duties of direc-
tor of the poor of Scranton poor dis
trict without any legal rights thereto
and in violation of the act of assembly
of the state of Pennsylvania, approved
the 9th day Of April, 1862, and it's sup
plements, approved the 18th day of
March, 1866 and in violation of other
Vania.
He further AYERS that the term for
which +. l.. Terppe was appointed had
not expired at the date of the alleged
election to the said Office of the said
John j. Murphy, as is suggested by the
relator He denies that there was any
vacancy existing in the office of pool
| director of the South ward district al
the time of the said election, and
further denies that there was any
vacancy existing which could or was
filled by the said election.
The respondent AYERS and maintains
that the said John j. Murphy on the
18th day of February. 1898, at the gen.
eral election held in the city of Scran.
| ton, was not duly elected a director oi
| the Scranton poor district for the
South ward poor district
| Finally the respondent AYERS that "or
| the 2ist day of March, 1899, severa
| months after the resignation of the
| office of director of the poor of tn
| Scranton poor district of the Soutf
ward of the former borough of Scran
| ton, of the said +. L. Terppe, that on
| the 2lst day of March, 1899. Hon. r
| W. Archibald, president Judge of Lack
| awanna county, appointed your re-
| spondent poor director to fill the salt
vacancy for the uneXpired time thel
existing, and since said date has en-
| joyed the said Office and exercised tn,
duties appertaining to the same and a
this time is still in possession of tn,
said office, all of which matters an,
| things I am ready to maintain an,
| place myself as to disputed facts upol
the country"
| This answer Will in all probability b,
| demurred to by Mr.. Murphy, and afte
that the matter will come up for argu
ment. The apparent object of tn
answer is to gain as much time as pos
sible before the case can be finally dis
| posed of.

DETECTIVE MoIR INJURED.
Fell Into an Area Way at the Board
of Trade Fire.

Detective John MOir had his arm
painfully injured at the Board of Trade
building fire yesterday afternoon. He
ran into Phillips store from the rear,
passing over a grating in doing so, and
after a moment ran hurriedly and
heedessly out again. In the short in
terim some one had removed the graf
ing and he pitched violently into an
areaway ten feet in depth.
He struck on his right side, with his
arm beneath him, and severely strained
the ligaments at the shoulder. This
did not, however, restrain him from
active service at the fire last night. He
was the first man to get line of hose
to the roof of the Williams building,
accomplishing this with the aid of a
coil of rope which he carried up
through the Henwood building.

BIG BUILDING WAS AFIRE.
Flames Did Much Damage in a
Basement Storeroom.

AT a few minutes before o'clock
yesterday afternoon, disastrous fire
broke out in the basement storeroom
Of u, l. Phillips furniture store in the
board of trade building. 1t required
nearly an hours work on the part Of
the firemen to eXtinguish the flames
and in the meantime $1,000 worth of
stock was destroyed or badly damaged
At no time, however, was there any
imminent danger to the building The
storerOOm is cncased with brick tiing
ON all sides and the flames in conse-
qucnce were confined as in a furnace.
The fact that there vas no entrance
to the basement from the street ham
dicapped the firemen to a large extent.
What caused the fire has not been
explained. Mr.. Phillips is at a loss to
understand its origin. The furniture
was insured in companies represented
by d. j. Campbell, Phillips & Holmes,
C. G.. Boland and j. d. Evans. There
was no damage to the building,
