LOSS OF CONTRACTORS.

WGshhurn d Williams We're the con-
tractors who We're remodelling the
burned building. and their loss was
caused by the burning of tools, lum-
Der, etc. The damage to the tenants
in the Library building was caused
entirely by water and smoke.
Both the loss to the stock and build
ing OF Williams X McAnulty were en-
tirely covered by insurance, as We're
the losses sustained by the Scranton
Supply ana Machinery company and
the Globe Warehouse.

Countered in this city in = long time

for a little while and then when u
stream or two would he taken off. l.
would burst forth again almost as
iicrccly as before. The Neptune, Crys-
tai and Nay Aug engines were kept
pumping water on the flames until "f-
ter O'Clock. Two OF the steamers
were then taken off, but the Nay Aug
kept pumping until about 10 o'clock.
A powerful stream was kept playing
on the ruins all day lOnc.
The Williams & McAnulty building
is a total wreck. II was much
larger structure than one would fancy
it was to look at it from Wyoming
avenue. 1t was only three stories high
in the front, but in the rear it was
four stories high. 1t was about 40
feet long, running right through 10
Oakford court. The floors have partly
| caved I'm already, and are likely To
| soon all fall. The stock is almost n
total loss. there being very little sale
able goods left.
FIRE WELL HANDLED.
The talk of mismanagement IN the
| fighting of the fire. which was so cur
rent after the big Lackawanna avenue
| fire, is not heard this time, All agree
| that the fire was very we'll handled
| by the fremen. and the fact that it
was kept confined to the building in
| which it originated, is proof of this.
| Some of the streams used, notably the
| one thrown from Wyoming avenue at
| the early outset of the blaze, Were
among the most powerful ever in use
at a fire i'm this city.
| No one can offer any explanation aS
| to the cause of the fire, except that
| il probably started from an electric
| light wire. That is the theory which
| Mr.. Williams says is the only plausi-
| BILE one. There was no fire whatever
| i'm the building he says nor was there
! anything which might cause spontan-
| couS combustion. Onc of his employees
| was in the store as late ms 12.l'
O'Clock with two workmen who Were
putting in new elevator cables and al
that time there was no sign what
over of fire.
Mr.. Williams stated that the build
ing would be Immediately recon
structed in more fre-proof manner
and that when it was finished the firm
would locate there as before. In the
meantime. temporary headquarter'

seem possessed with a sort of super

And the basis for the confidence IS
solid.
