ORIGIN NOT DETERMINED The Blaze Scat ted ou the Dry Side cff the Breaker and Gained Hendway Very 1'usC Most.Mwloru Structure lu the Coal Regions and Had Ouly Been Built Two Years It Will Be Rebuilt la a Short Time. The lit. Lookout breaker at Wyom ing, the most modern structure of its kind In the coal regions, was burned ciown jesterauy morning, entailing a loss of about covered nearly by insurance. This is the second tune within the space of three years that the Mt.

Lookout breaker has burned. The blaze was discovered at 0:10 o'clock iu the morning by the crew ot a Lackawanna engine, which was pass ing. The lire was tiieu on the sauia siue of the breaker in a part known as the dry side, through which only dry coal passes, the ether part ot liu bleaker being called the wet side, lln engineer immediately gave the alarm irom his engine ana it areu ue aura tion of the engineer at the shaft, who nave a general alarm. Jtue 11 re coiu auies from Sturnierville, Wyoming, West Pittiton and i ittston responded. bur tht could do nothing to slay the i rosress of the flames, which soon eu veloued the structure and burned It I the ground.

ORIGIN NOT KNOWN. No explanation as to the origin cf the lire can be given and there are certain element of suspicion surrounding burning. Two macninisis were the only people in the breaker Sunday nig at and they were about ready to go home hen the lire was discovered and the alarm sounded. The watchman had just leu the breaker and gone to me oil house and lie knew nothing of the lire until the alarm sounded. Mt.

Lookout Coal Co. and operated by Simpson Wat kins, of this city. It was a modern structure and occupied a great amount of territoiy, stretching across the L.

W. tracks and connected to the shaft, which is about two hundred yards from the breaker, by a largt ties.ang.

The Bloomsburg division of the L. W. railroad passed directly be neath the breaker and for several hours all traffic was stopped. Rollers, screens machinery were piled in a mas; on and about the tracks. Wrecking crews fr.im Kingston and Scranton were summoned and it required a number hours to clear the railroad tracks.

Meanwhile traffic and the telegraphic service were obstructed. All L. W. trains were run over the Coxton branch of the Lehigh Valley. Super intendent Salisbury, of the Scranton division of the road, visited the scene early in the day and it was due to his efforts that the line was cleared so quickly.

The fli'e was not unlike that at the Dodson breaker during the month July, inasmuch as both started on the "dry sids."
