moved into hardware store which is
not equalled on the Pacific coast. Not
feature of the whole edifice has been
slighted, and from the basement to the
large warehouse on the upper floor it is
complete.
The entire structure is 100 feet square,
the implement and hardware depart
ment each being 5ox100 feet. A large
gallery encircles the lower floor, and
from the floor to the ceiling, twenty
feet, extends shelving with which is
intermixed hardware boxes, all veneered
with oak. To the front of the imple-
ment department is a plate glass gun
case, twenty-one feet long. and for every
article sold there is place where it fits
in perfectly. A large Warner hydraulic
elevator, with capacity of three tons,
has been put in at the southeast corner
of the implement department..
The ceiling of the building is of
figured steel artistically painted, while
the tints are very delicate and tasty.
While every part of the store is worthy
of mention, the large Office in the back
and to the center of the building strikes
the eye at once, being surrounded with
glass and fitted mp completely. The
floor of the main Office is covered with
linoleum. while the private Office will
be carpeted. The large desk of the book
keeper is one of the finest we have ever
seen, being of osi, highly polished
The vault, which is a two-story one, is
IKE in dimensions, and in this will be
placed burglar proof safe.
The main store will be lit with nine
arc lights of 500 candle power, and the
Office with incandescents, which shining
through the front of solid plate glaes,
will illumine the entire street.
| Time forbids our giving this monuD
ment of the enterprise of the firm a fitting
description or mentioning the numerous
adjuncts to the main building. It is p
structure which would do credit to any
city in the United States.

Last August.

the flames, each time more bright and
with more of a determination to prove
herself undaunted. The last conhagra-
tion of note was that on the night of
August 14th, just seven months ago to-
morrow, and. in that short time, from
the mass of ruins has arisen many
buildings which far discount those con-
sumed.
On the corner of Second and Federal
streets stood the hardware store of Mays
& Grove, which had been fitted up SO
completely that it was the pride of the
town; but this with the rest was swept
away in few hours. Many were afraid
that having suffered such loss, the
firm would be 30 discouraged that they
would hesitate to rebuild. Bnt no sooner
were the ashes cold than plans were
being formulated for a new building,

r For the past twenty years Mr.. Mcneil

his duty well, it seems hard that such
an end should have been his. He was
particularly thoughtful, assisting in
many ways the family of his deceased
brother, A. Mcneil. He made provision
for the wants of his children when he
should leave them, having $4,000 life in

The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-03-21

The supreme court at Philadelphia
yesterday handed down an order for u
reargument of the school board case.
This would seem to indicate that there
is deadlock among the judges about
the case. the court having but six mem
bcrs since the death of Justice Will
liams. These six were on the bench
when the case was argued at Phladcl-
phia on Feb. 20.
Solicitor ID. j. Recdy, of the board Of
control, believes the desire OF the court
to hear the case reargued is n hopeful
sign for the board of twepty-one. as
they have all along been arguing in
the face Of a supreme court decision in
an almost parallel case from Pittsburg.
There are also four common pleas de-
cisions against them.
1t is not known at this time when
the supreme court will hear the re-
argument, but in all probability it will
not be before May, when the court
meets at Harrisburg. When it is next
argued an effort will be made to nave
all the cities interested In the decision
submit papcr books These cities are:
PittstOn. Easton, Hazleton. Lebanon
Titusville. Meadville and Harrisburg.
The merits of the matter under con-
sideration have been argued before the
supreme court twice in the Pittstor
case. once when the Scranton case came
up for general hearing and twice
when the matters growing out of the
writ of surersodeas were under ronsid.
