TWO BUILDINGS BURNED.
Mysterious Early Morning Fire in
Dunmore Neither Structure
occupied-Cause Unknown.

Two buildings on the north side of
Delaware street, between Monroe and
Quincy avenues, Dunmore, were total
ly destroyed by fire between midnight
and ] O'Clock this morning One was
vacant vwo-story, frame, store and
dwelling, owned by John L. Hull, and
the ether a barn, owned by George
Carpenter, of Wilkes Barre, and rent
ed by II. n. Patrick. The barn was
in the rear of Mr.. Patricks residence,
corner of Monroe avenue and Delaware
street. and the Hull building closely
adjoined 1t. There was nothing in the
barn except a couple of tons of hay,
the live stock and other contents hav-
ing been recently moved to Mr.. Pat
rick's country home.
The fire started in the vacant store
and dwelling. J. p. Mills, whose house
is on Monroe avenue adjacent to Mr..
Patrick's, awoke about midnight to
find his bedroom brightly illumined
and looking from the window saw the
Hull building enveloped in flames. He
hastily sent an alarm from the box
at the corner of Monroe avenue and
Delaware street, and the Independent,
Neptune and O. S. Johnson hose COM
panies responded The flames had
gained such a hold on both buildings
that they could only succeed in pre-
venting them from eating up some ad-
joining chicken coops and woodsheds.
The origin of the fire is unknown
and uneXplainable except on the the
ory of incendiarism. The Hull build
ing was erected three years ago by
Edward Palmer, bat a year ago he
moved to Scranton and the property
went into possession os Mr.. Hull. For
few months a tenant occupied the
dwelling part, but lately the whole
building has been vacant.
Mischievous boys had bate red in the
windows and doors, and it is not i'm
probable that they fred the building.
Three weeks ego, so the neishbors say,
an attempt was made to burn the
building by igniting kerosene, soaked
shavings piled against the outside of
the building and pressed against the
woodwork by a large fiat stone lean
ing from the ground.
Nothing could be learned last night
of the insurance as neither owner
could be reached.

BEFORE ALDERMAN MILLAR.
A Lively Case with an Embarrassing
Situation,

Fannie Marble, of Oakford court,
yesterday figured as the prosecutrix
in a case before Alderman Millar
against Mamie Howell, of Raymond
court. The two women had a quarrel
over a male acquaintance of the How
ell woman which resulted in a short,
decisive battle between the two last
Saturday night. In which the Marble
woman received injuries, being struck
by a brick thrown by her rival. The
Howell woman was fined 80.
An unexpected turn was given the
case by the defendant declaring that
Fanny Marble had assaulted her. She

claimed that she was severely bruised
and injured about the breast, and
asked if the court wished ocular proof.
Alderman Millar modestly turned his
head and murmurcd that he would
rather not, but before any one of the
several constable present could pre-
vent, the defendant in the case had
amply convinced all in the room OF
the truth of her assertion.
Following the hearing a warrant
was issued before Alderman Kelly for
the arrest Of Fanny Marble She was
given a hearing and fined s16.75.

body had been recovered from the
ruined buildings and it was impossible
at that time to make anything Like an
accurate estimate Of the number OF
lives lost. Many persons were injured
and were taken to the nearest hospitals
The building was on fire about five
minutes before the first explosion oc-
Cured and there were a number OF
firemen near it when the walls blew
out and it is feared that some Of these
were killed. The reports as TO the oc-
cupants Of the building, including about
125 working girls, are conflicting, but
it is believed that the greater number
Of them escaped.
