Yesterday the demurrage order of
1.-The Pittsburg Car Service Association
went into effect upon all roads entering
| Wheeling and there is some little anx-
| iety on the part of freight patrons of
the lines as to how strictly the new rule
will be enforced. The method has never
| heretofore been in vogue here as in
many other cities from the fact that
one of the roads entering from the Ohio
| side was not in the Association and
such an order would have been danger
Gus to the welfare of the companies en-
| forcing it. The only expense likely to
result will fall upon manufacturers
where storage facilities for coke, ore
and such bulky materials has not been
provided. The rate is one dollar a day
for cars not cleared within 4S hours.
but counter credit is given when cars
are unloaded within 80 hours.

| Cut Nails.-The market in cut nails
among the eastern manufacturers is re-
markedly even. Prices among the west
ern mills are from to 10 cents less

market is based upon the following
prices f. o. b. PitIsburg, freight being

what improved demand for cut nails
in New York. There is some difficulty
in getting nails in sufficient quantities.

BURME1sTER-THIELE CONCERT

An audience not over large but dis.
eliminating attended the Burmeister-
ThiCle concert at the Bicycle club last
evening and enjoyed the beautiful pro-
gramine given by one Of the finest pianlsts
in the country, Richard Burmeister, of
the Scharwenka Conservatory of Music,
assisted by Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest rhiele
and Miss Jennie BuChwald of this city.
Mrs. Thlelo sang most plCasingly several
numbers, the Rossini Aria giving oppor-
tunitv for the colorature work of which
she is so capable. Two little songs and
the encore, "Mignon," were received with
much applause. She was accompanied
with excellent taste and fidelity by Miss
Jennie Buchwald.
Mr.. Burmeister gave delightful expo
siton of his vast versatility in a pro-
gramme of great range. His marvellous
technique was definite charm from be-
ginning to end, but beyond all was a GER
tain poetic grace that swept like fairy
veil over the virility of his touch ana
lent to IL a rare vibrant music. There is
an absence of fame-like emotion which
CharaCterzcs the work of some pianists,
but in its stead is a tender and delicious
sense of rapture.
Mr.. Thiele played a Vioin solo. by Vie
nawski, and accompanied Mr.. Burmeister
| i'm the Grieg Sonata with which the pro-
gramme opened. The Andantc movement
was especially well rendered.
! his originality and power There were
! those in the audience who would have de
| sired to hear him i'm the famous List
| Sonata in Il minor which is said to be his
strongest number and only rarely heard
| but after the varied selections of last
evening nothing more intricate or power
| ful could be demanded. His beautiful
arpeggios in the Mendelssohn song were
| specially noted.
In no number was his artistic work
| more evident than in the Chopin Noe
! turne, where the CadenZas were rendered
| with such exquisite shading and the piano
| passages held such reed-ike softness.
| The Wedding Procession" by GrieE,
was delightfully."- played, the descriptive
| beauty of the ripping march being most
| picturesquely portrayed.
The Parsifal number was perhaps the
| least satisfactory as the stately march
! cannot be well Interpreted by the piano.
| The Ballade was, however very pleas
! ing.

a Vengeance.

\ very much disappointed man is
Sergeant Iona B. Day, and his Opin-
ion of the policy of the war depart

An exhibition of the efficiency of a
new and novel fire eXtinguisher was
given in the rear of the city hall Thurs
day last. Unlike the ordinary eXtin-
guisher. which comes in liquid FORM
he "PhoeniX" is a powder, which when
thrown toward a blaze, is attracted by
he heat which draws the particles
IF powder as they float through the
air and Immediately eXtinguishes every
bit of fire. The test in this city Thurs
day was a complete success
A strong point in favor of the
Phoenix eXtinguisher is its simplicity.
rs it has no mechanism and can he
lsed with as much effect in the hands
IF a child as an adult.
The Agents Supply company whose
Scranton Office is i'm the Arcade are
the agents, and their local manager,
Mr.. Simrell, will be pleased 10 show
he Phoenix eXtinguisher to all who
Ire interested

SCRANTON STREET FIRE
Blaze Was Discovered Twice Yester-
day in the House of S. D.
Martino Theory as to
the Probable Cause.

Two alarms of fire We're sounded
from box A. corner of Scranton and
Seventh streets yesterday. and in each
instance the flames were discovered in
the same house. Between 10 and IL
o'clock fire broke ont in the dwelling
apartments at 9lS Scranton street. OC-
cuped by the family of S. ID. Martino,
adjoining the general store at No. oil,
hut We're quickly extinguished by the
Columbia Hose and Chemical company.
The flames were started in a corner
Of the sitting room on the main floor,
A book-rack, containing papers and
music, became ignited and the blaze
scorched the castings and charred the
wall. There was no one in the house
but an elderly woman and a couple
small children.

the hospitals. where she recently un-
| derWent an operation, and her hus-
band was away from the store ON
| business.

tween and ; o'clock. and flames were
discovered in mattress on one of the

was no connection in that direction in
| either of the rooms where the fires
| were discovered.
| The tiremen threw the mattress out
! into the street before any damage was
done. The mattress was filled with
shaVings and easily ignited. The sup
position is that the children were play

by Martino. There is $500 insurance
ON the building in companies repre-
sented by &. q. Bolaud.
