were old fashioned republicans, true
to their party and true to their prin-
ciples. No new tangled notions led
them to bolt; no new tangled ideas
ever led them to vote with the DEM

majority should rule in the party

Senator Piles then outlined in
some detail the accomplishments OF
the last republican congress, and
told of the masterful manner in
which President Taft fulfilled his
pledges to the people, and got from
congress the things that he had
promised before his election. The
senator touched upon the tariff bill
and declared that the criticism of the
democrats was unjust; that no tariff
bill could ever suit the democrats
and that time would show that the
present bill was as wise and accept.

Commends Administration.
Senator Piles spoke for about fiji
teen minutes, opening his remarks
with a tribute TO the achievements of
the republican party and the record
made by President Taft and the last
congress- Following this he said in
part:
Il regret that in our new primary
law we did not make provision for
the old-time county and state con-
nominate men for office, at least to
promulgate the principles and doc
trines of the republican party and
to serve as an inspiration to all of
us. l recall with pleasure, and l am
sure you do, the gatherings formerly
held, and their power to bring us in
to closer contact and to promote the
feeling of party loyalty.
Tribute to Dead.
But things have changed with
the times, and there has come some
thing beside happiness into the world
after all. Since last we met togeth-
err in convention three of our friends
and leaders have gone to the undis-
covered country. three men who
were giants in the party and who
were honored by all. Our beloved
Governor Cosgrove had just reached
the summit of his career when the
grim summons came and took him
from us. He was brave and gall
liant soldier, slow to anger save in
the cause of friend, and then man
who would fight to the last ditch.
He would have made wise and true
executive.
"Then there was beloved Frank
Cushman, brilliant, famous, eloquent
and true, who had achieved all the
things that are to be desired ere he
had yet reached the meridian of life,
a man among men.
And the last of the trio was Gov.

go up on the roof and with buckets
of water, wet down the shingles, but
in spite of this precaution, some elu-

SOAP IN STEAMER
REASON WHY STEAM COULD NOT
BE RAISED AT ELEVATOR FIRE
A DANGEROUS TRICK THAT
SHOULD NOT BE REPEATED.

Who put soap into the boiler of
Protection companys steamer is the
question the engineers of the steam
er are asking. Who ever did it
must have had key to the engine
house and must have some knowl-
edge of the construction of the boil
er, for it was necessary to unscrew
a plug on top of the boiler and force
the soap down into it.
The steamer had just been over
hauled, placed in excellent order and
had been tested and found o. X. in
every respect. On Sunday morning
they pulled out for the fire at the
Elevator Works; ordinarily they
would have had steam up and en-
gine working in less than five min
utes, but doing their best the stok-
er and engineers could not raise
steam on account of the boiler foam
ing and priming. They could not
account for this freakish condition
of affairs. 1t was noticed and com
mented on by number of people
that the steamer did not get into
operation until the fire was almost
out. The engineer and stoker are
not to blame for this and the fact
that the boiler of the engine was not
utSlIOytu was uut u the
and patience exercised by these men.
When the steamer was taken back
to the engine house an examination
was made and conclusive proof was
obtained that some miscreant had
maliciously doctored the steamer by
placing bar of soap inside of the
boiler, so that when fire was started
the hot water and soap formed suds,
which filled the steam room of the
boiler and worked over into the en-
gine and completely baffled the ef-
forts of the men to raise a pressure
of steam necessary to run the en-
gine. 1t is a blessing that we have
fire hydrants in the borough for had
the firemen to depend upon the
steamer, as in the past, there would
have been a confiagration that would
have done great damage. The per-
son who did this deed would be bad
enough to start fire, to see how
his plan for deviltry would work
out

OFF FOR DANV|LLE.
MAX BOERSCH ADJUDGED IN
SANE BY CONINISSION-WA
CONSIDERED DANGEROUS TO
BE AT LARGE.

Max Boersch was taken to the in
sane asylum at Danville on Tues
day morning by w. E. Gaylord and
Horace Moules. He lived on farm
just beyond the golf grounds. He
has been acting very queer lately.
Had a hobby that all banks should
close up and money should be loan
ed to anybody without interest.
When his disease reached an acute
stage and he became violent he was
placed in Jail. He is physically a
big fellow and made a noise that
could be heard over on River road.
His cries and yells were very trying
on the other prisoners and the near
by neighbors, so that it became neces-
sary to take him away to the asylum.
He did not like to wear any clothes
and was in his glory when he wore
the garb of our first ancestors. He
was fond of socialistic literature and
his mind, which was weak, had been
infiamed to such an extent by read
ing this stuff, that he soon drifted
into an insane condition which made
1t dangerous for him to be at large.
The commission who adjudged
him insane was composed of DR.. F.
w. Powell, Attorney c. p. Searle and
n. B. Spencer. His case is a sad one
as he has family depending upon
him.

bomb near the residence of the sec
cretary of the Merchant and Manu-
facturers club of that city. A re-
ward of $1S,500 has been offered

Foundry Building Badly Damag-I
ed and Other Buildings Of the
National Elevator 81 Machine
Company Endangered, but not
Damaged--Fire Fighters There

The foundry building of the Ma
tional Elevator Works was discov-
cred to be on fire about $50 Sun
day morning. People on their way
to early services in the Catholic
churches. noticed huge clouds of
smoke ascending in the neighbor-
hood of Tenth street and the Lacka-
waXen river. The cry of the "Eleva-
tor works on fire" was soon heard
and taken up by the crowd that hast
ened to the scene. The alarm was giv=
en-, the gong sounded and very
soon the fiPemen were on their way
to the fire. No. coupled up to the
fire plug in front of the Nelson resi-
dence while No l took the other side
of the hydrant and soon these two
streams were playing on the fire.
In the meantime number of the
Elevator employees and others arriv-
ed and stretched the hose that is
attached to the hydrant that is lo-
Gated in the yard of the Elevator
works, another line of hose was
stretched from the hydrant at Indus
trial point and in a short time there
were good streams playing on the
blazing building. At this time the
north side of the building was ablaze
while the small buildings where the
castings are cleaned and tumbled
was almost destroyed The wind
blowing from the north swept the
flames back into the main building
and the fire soon burst out through
the roof on the river side of build
ings and also came out through the
cupalos on the peak of the roof. By
this time the inside of the building
was a seething sea of fire, and the
flames were spreading from rafter to

building was doomed to destruction.
So dense was the smoke that no one
could enter the building, but the fire.
men had secured points of advantage
and poured torrents of water on the
burning building and soon it was
seen that the flames had been checked
from spreading, and the men getting
closer, soon had the fire under con-

ed in the protection from fire of town
property. At one time it looked to
the spectators as if the entire build
ing was doomed and that the ad-
Joined buildings would be destroyed.
The steamer of Protection Engine Co.
was brought out promptly and locat-
ed so as to take water from the
Lackawaxen river, but for some rea-
son did not get started until the
fire was under control. The cause
of the fire at this time is unknown
and it will probably go on record as
one OF those unexplainable incidents
which looks strange to say the least
There is night watchman, Thomas
Stanley, who makes a tour of the
works every hour, and his last tour
was just before o'clock in the
morning. AT that time there was no
evidence of fire. His relief is Joseph
Matthews, who came on at a. m
and at once went over the works
finding everything all right. He says
he went up in the office and began
to scrub the floor and clean up as
he wished to have that work done
before any of the Office force came
as he expected some of them. The
first knowledge he had of the fire
was when he heard someone cry
Fire" He went TO one of the rear
windows of the office and looked out
and saw the foundry building was
on fire. By this time a number of
people had gathered and he Joined
in helping them get the elevator
company's hose out of the hose house
and it was partly through his efforts
that this was the first stream of wa
ter to get started. 1t is estimated
that the loss will exceed $1,000 and
the insurance is said to be $4,000.
This building was erected in 1901,
when w. w. Wood was in charge of
the works. 1t was erected over an
old building which had been used
since 1850. On the front of this old
building was flag pole which had
been erected during the Fremont and
Dayton campaign, and it was one
of the first flag poles raised in honor
of the birth of the Republican party.
The building which was burned was
erected during very busy season
and 1t, completely encompassed the
old building, the men working inside
the old building until the new one
was completed, when the 'moulders
and laborers turned in and pulled
down and removed the old building
so that they lost only one day from

casting. The old building was a
land mark and 1t was a very extra

FAIR HAS OPENED

the signal for the big doors of the
fair grounds to open, and opened

was displayed, and soon the people
in twos and threes and in rigs OF
all sorts began to make their appear
ance. Everybody was happy-looking
and everybody seemed to predict
good time.
THE CITIZEN sent up it's aero
plane shortly after daybreak and
what a beautiful bird 's-eye-vieW of
the county was obtained by those
who were lucky enough to be
aboard. The sky was clear, and the
country could be seen for miles and
miles. A clear view of every town
ship could be had. Scott, Bucking-
ham and Starucca on the north, while
Dreher and Sterling on the south
with Lehigh in the distance could be
readily seen. The Delaware could
be seen winding it's way on the east,
while the Moosic mountains stood
out in broad relief on the west. So
clear was the atmosphere that the
roads throughout the county could
be clearly seen like threads in a
leaf. All roads seemed to lead to
Honesdale. In a few minutes these
roads were dotted with vehicles of
all descriptions. One and two horse
rigs could be seen leaving the barn,
halting at the farmhouse, loading
up with the women folks and out
on to the road and all pointing for
the fairgrounds, some with four or
five hours journey ahead of them
but as the air was resonant and car
ried sound readily, we could hear the
shouts and laughter of the happy
people as they in anticipation of the
good time ahead, gave expression to
their feelings, and although we were
a mile or more above yet so rarified
was the air that we distinctly heard
the "Hurrahs for Jackson" and the
Rooseveltian Bully for old Uncle
Ferguson" Meet me at the merry
go-round," "If you lose me, find me
in the grand stand" One fellow
driving in from Equinunk was telling
how much money he was going to
bet on Pope Hornbeck's horse. Some
of the women were talking about
Spettigue's stoves and his free china
Just then the spark plug on our
motor began to jump and we had
to come down.
