KEYsER VALLEY COMPANY.

In a conversation with Tribune
man. yesterday afternoon, Director of
Public Safety II. l.. Wormser explained
his motive in holding up the $500 ap-
preparation forsfurnishing the Keyser
Valley hose house, the ordinance pro-
viding for an extra man, which was
last night passed upon by common
council
why" said Mr.. Wormser, "it would
be the height of folly for us to have
expended that money, when there really
wasn't man at the house. Council
man Norton has come in here and
asked me to let the appropriation go
through, but simply could not do 1t.
II took the one man away that they
had out there, and attached him to En-
gine company No. l, year ago.
never recommended a hose house at
that place, and, in my opinion. no ac-
tion should be taken on such a matter
without the consent or advice of the
head of this department. What is the
use. anyway, of frittering away time
and funds, on such items as this, when
there are more important and extensive
improvements which ought to be made.
Moreover, ! do not think any action
should be taken about equipping hose
house in the Keyser Valley, before we
know whether there is sufficient
water pressure at the hydrants in that
vicinity to supply an adequate stream"

TESTING FIRE HOSE.
Superintendent Ferber Is Pleased
with the Result.

Superintendent II. r. FNerber, of the
bureau of fires, spent yesterday In test
ing all of the departments fire hose.
The test was conducted In front of the
house of Engine company No. 1. on
Franklin avenue. Superintendent Fer
ber was assisted by the men of this
company, and details from every COM
pany in the city.
They worked almost constantly from
s o'clock in the morning until o'clock
in the evening, and made the most
thorough test of hose in the history of
the department. The $3.50 feet Of new
hose recently purchased by the depart
ment of public safety easily stood the
very heavy pressure of 260 pounds to
the square inch.
At the end Of the days work, Super
intendent Ferber said he was thorough
ly satisfied now with the supply of hose.
"ln my opinion, the fire department
is now in better condition to meet any
situations which may arise, than it has
ever been, said Mr.. Ferber I'VE have
about 1000 feet of first-class hose. as
proved by today's tests, and something
like three thousand feet of second
class hose. This new hose is to be dis
tributed fairly and squarely among the
companies. No favortes will be played.
but all wants will be fully supplied,
and the wants are an evident fact
have been notified, of late. by some of
the companies that they only had $50
or 400 feet of hose"
Sixteen hundred feet of hose, which
could not stand the required pressure,
yesterday, was turned over to the
street department, to be used for flush
ing purposes. The old hose was sub
jected to a maximum pressure of 140
pounds to the square inch. A large
of it burst at a pressure OF
only forty pounds.

MINERS WILL SOLICIT.
Committees Appointed to Make q
House-to- House Canvass for
Financial Assistance.

Financial aid for the striking miners
| is to be solicited personally from busi-
ness men and all who sympathize with
| the strikers in this city and Dunmore.
This was decided upon at a meeting Of
the district board, held yesterday.
The soliciting is to be done by COM
mittee of nine selected from the sub
district boards, as follows:
West Scranton--Theophilus Phillips, NJ.
S. Lavelle. George Watkins.
Providence-R. e. Brink, p. j. Regan,
John Indian.
Dunmore-William Fitzsimmons, John
FitZsmmons Peter Sawyer.
District President r. d. Nichols and
Secretary Treasurer John II. Dempsey
will sign and put the district seal on
each canvasser's book, as a means of
forestalling possible fraudulent collec-
tors. Each contributor is requested to
examine the credentials of the collector
and to personally see that name of the
contributor and amount Of the contri-
button is entered on the book.
This plan of house-to-house cam
vass for aid is to be followed in all the
cities and large towns of the region.
1t was said in New York dispatches
after the meeting Of coal presidents in
New York, Tuesday, that Vice-Presi-
dent E. L. Loomis, of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western company,
who is in charge of the mining depart
ment. was to be sent here to size up the
feasibility of breaking up the strike by
starting up a few collieries here and
there.
Mr.. Loonis was here yesterday, and
had conferences with various superin-
tendents of his own and other COM
panics. A good part of the afternoon
he was closeted with General Manager
S. B. Thorne. of the Temple Iron COM
pany, of which President George r.
Baer, of the Reading, is president. Mr..
Loomis returned to New York last
evening without discovering himself to
reporters.
Honors were even, yesterday. between
the operators and strikers. The PAN
coast washery of the Ontario and
Western company, at Throop, got
under full swing, and the Nay Aug
washery, at Dunmore, by reason of de-
sertions, was compelled to shut down.
The Oxford Cayuga and Dickson col
lieries continued to work, yesterday.
without interruption. Teamsters are
reaping a harvest selling the Oxford
output to local consumers.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western company has abandoned the
Hallstead mine at Duryea. The pumps
have been removed and the water is
rapidly filling it up. Superintendent
Tobey said, yesterday, the chances are
that the abandonment is permanent.
Nearly all the coal has been taken out
of the tract which the Hallstead taps.
The Bellevue washery is to be i'm
mediately rebuilt. General Superin-
tendent Phillips was on the scene yes
terday, directing the work of clearing
up the debris of the fire. He declared
that coal would he turned out from the
rebuilt washery inside of sixty days.

SCAFFOLD COLLAPSED.
One Man Killed and Three Others,
Who Were Working with Him,
Were Injured.

Charles Thomas, of Larch street, fell
from a scaffolding, which suddenly coll
lapsed, at the power plant of the Rapid
Transit company, on the site of the old
North mill, and was instantly killed
about o'clock last evening. Three
other men, who were working with him
also fell.
Two of them, Adolph Tworefki of
1913 John street, Petersburg, and Nicho-
las Phillips, were taken to the Lacka-
wanna hospital. The fourth man es-
capped with few slight bruises, and
walked to his home.
Phillips sustained contusions of the
shoulders and foot, and was able to
leave the hospital Immediately after
his injuries We're treated. His COM
panion was, however, more seriously
injured. His scalp was badly lacer-
ated, his chin cut, his right shoulder
sprained and right leg severely bruised.
The four men were working on a scaf-
folding, about forty-five feet above
ground, at the power house, which is
situated on the site of the old rolling
mill of the Lackawanna Iron and Steel
company.
Suddenly at 6 o'clock there was a
splitting sound, as the wood of the
scaffolding snapped, and the four men
were hurled to the ground. Thomas
struck head first, and his neck was
broken by the shock. The Lackawanna
hospital was notified, and DIR. George
Lindsay responded with the ambulance.
Coroner j. r. Saltry was notified, and
examined Thomas remains. He will
hold an autopsy today, and an inquest
later. when Tworefkis condition is i'm
proved. He is of the opinion that flaws
in the timbering caused the collapse of
the scaffold. Thomas lived on Larch
street, near Washington avenue, and
was about 30 years of age. A wife and
children survive him.

Guernsey Against Guernsey.

The hearing in the Guernsey injunc-
tion case was begun yesterday in court
room No. 2, before Judge f. W.
Wheaton, of Luzerne, who was called
to specially preside, because of the
local judges being busily engaged in
preparing the opinions and orders to
be handed down next Monday at the
midsummer day session.
The plaintiff is represented by Major
Everett Warren, Joseph O'Brien and
John F.. Scragg. The attorneys for the
defendant are eX-Judge j. w. Carpen-
ter and r. II, Holgate.
Nearly all the testimony of the plain
tiff was presented before adjourning
time. The defendants side will be
heard today.
The story of the case was told at
length at the institution of the proceed
ings, last week. In brief, the complaint
is this:
j. w. Guernsey, the veteran music
dealer proprietor of Guernsey hall,
complains that M. w. Guernsey, who
also conducts music store, is putting
out piano which he labels "Guern-
sey.' and in various ways endeavors
to make capital out of the reputation
his namesake, the Guernsey hall man,
has made by seventeen years of adver-
tising. In the injunction prayer, the
plaintiff asks that the defendant be re-
strained from using the name "Guern-
sey" on his pianos. and compelled to
make an accounting for the profits that
have come to him from pianos sold on
the strength of the name of "Guern-
sey."
The parties, though bearing the same
uncommon name and engaged in the
same business on the same avenue, are
