Doc" Payne, who will meet Tim

FIRE AT VARNISH WORKS.
Building Was Destroyed and the
Flames Communicated to the
Palentine Hotel Which Was
Also Reduced to Ashes.

While an employe of the Scranton
Metal Black Varnish company was
pouring varnish from a can into a tank
last evening at 8 o'clock a spark was
seen to fall into the tank by the pro-
prietOr but from where 1t came he
could not say. The spark ignited the
Varnish and by the time an alarm was
sounded from Box IS the place was a
mass of flames. The property is situ-
ated on the north side of the old Driv-
ing park and was a brick building,
with wooden interior.
The Liberty, General Phinney and
Niagara companies responded and had
stream on the fire in a remarka bly,
short time. Owing to the plugs being
frozen, one stream was all that could
be secured This stream was directed
on the storage house in the rear of the
varnish factory, which contained thirty
five barrels of benzlne. This building
was saved, but the flames soon spread
to the Palentine hotel, which stood
within twenty feet of the burning
building.
A second alarm was turned in, which
brought out the Cumberland, Excelsior
and Relief companies. Chief Hickey
arrived at this time and directed the
operations toward saving the surround
ing buildings. The wind blew the
| flames directly on the hotel, but will
| ing hands saved most of the contents.
If it had been possible to get a stream
on the hotel it could have been saved,
but it was an hour and a quarter from
the time the first stream was turned
on until the second stream was Sc
| cured. Both buildings burned fiercely
and rapidly, and by $50 o'clock nothing
but the brick walls of the Varnish
works were standing.
The Varnish works We're owned by
| George Jermyn and b. NJ. Morrison.
| Their estimated loss will be $500.
! There was no insurance on either
| building or contents.
The Palentine hotel was owned by
Attorney George L. Taylor and was
| leased by John Phalen for hotel pur-
poses. Mr.. Phalen did not carry any
| insurance on his goods. Just how
| much insurance Mr. Taylor carried
| could not be ascertained.

stituted yesterday by Daniel Van Sic
lile and Thomas j. Mulholland against
Richard Bunt.
The complainants, through Attorney
II. w. Mulhulllnd, say that they are
the owners Of \ leasehold on the lands
of the defendG mt situated about a mile
and Il half from Jermyn on the Rush
Brook road.
They have paid the rent up to date
and are willing to pay for the current
year, although it is not yet due. Not
withstanding this Bunt they allege,
has distrained the saw dust i'm the ice
house which they erected on the land
and has advertised the same for SALE
He has also locked the gate leading
from the public road To the ice house
nailed up the door Of the ice house and
is about to begin to fill the ice house
for his own benefit.
The defendant Bunt, it is claimed, is
insovent, or on the point of becoming
insolvent and is unable TO pay his legal
obligations. Irreparable damage is
likely to be done the complainants, it
Is alleged unless Bunt is restrained
and, therefore they invoke the protec-
tion of the equity court.
A preliminary Injunction was grant
ed by Judge Edwards restraining Bunt
from preventing the complainants from
entering into possession of the prem

THE CAUSE REVEALED

Found by Scientific Discovery.
For years the medical profession and

Millions have suffered from its strange
attacks, have endured in silence and
still wondered what could have caused
1t. Like all great things in this world
the cause Is very simple when clearly
understood.
Uric acid in the blood is the one great
cause Of all this trouble, all this pain
all this annoyance, which so often
wrecks the life.
But how does this uric acid get into
the blood? That is the great question

and muscles and frequently brings on
more serious troubles
There has never been but one way by
which the kidneys could be kept in per
feet condition and good working order,
and that is by the use of that great
modern iscovery-Warner's Safe Cure.
This has been proven conclusively by
the millions nf people who have used 1t.
by the millions who have been helped
and by those who are in perfect health
today.
You know this, reader. II YOU will
only stop and think. Recall how many

people today who would be in an ex-
hausted condition from rheumatism If
it were not for a constant use of this

attack was never followed by that di-

The Superior court adjourned for the
week yesterday at noon, after hearing
the concluding arguments in the Car
bon county case of Kistler and others
against Scheirer, appellant, and brief
arguments in two Wyoming county
cases.
The first of these was the case of
Betsy Frost against Charles Allen and
Frank T. Knapp, sheriff, appellants.
James Il. Frear represented the APP
pellants and James W. Piatt and C. q.
Dersheimer, the appellee. 1t is an ap-
peal firm verdict of $lG0, given
against the defendants. for trespase5 in
selling farm property in the face of
the plaintiffs claim that she and not
her husband, the one executed against,
was the owner of the property The
defense is that she did not give suffic-
lent notice and that she failed to show
that she owned the property independ-
ent of her husband.
THE JAYNE CASE.
The second case was entitled the
commonwealth against Fred. l.. Jayne.
He was convicted Of assault and bat
terry on Solomon Turner and appeals
Jayne was a special policeman ap-
pointed by the Wyoming County Agri-
cultural society to preserve order dur
ing its annual fair in September. 1897.
Turner is hack driver and was en-
gagged in carrying passengers between
Tunkhannock and the fair grounds.
Jayne attempted to prevent Turner
from backing his wagon into the open
Inn 40 I,o atHy,g la
ing into the fair grounds and an alter
cation ensued, in which the hackman,
who is an aged man, was roughly
handled.
The policeman claims that Turner
was committing a breach of the peace
and that only sufficient force was used
by him to prevent the breach Of the
peace.
EXCEEDED AUTHORITY.
The court below virtually instructed
the jury that Jayne's authority to eX-
ercise the right of policeman, under
the act empowering county fair asso-
Citations to appoint policemen, only ex-
tended to "infractons of rules and
regulations of the agricultural soci-
ETY." and that as there was no form
ally enacted rule regulating the con-
duct of hackmen, Jayne exceeded his
authority. The appeal is taken on the
ground that the court erred in this,
and also in not finding that any per-
son has the right to prevent another
from committing a breach of the peace.
The judges will spend today and to-
morrow in consultation, and it is ex-
pected a number of opinions will be
ready to be handed down Monday next.
Mondays session will not begin until
o'clock p. m.
