Dupont, which has perhaps suffered more severely from the ravages of the fire fiend than any town of its size in this section during the past four months, was again the scene of a serious conflagration last night, when two large dwellings were consumed by flames. The village is en tirely without lire protection, no less than four serious fires having eaten up thousands of dollars' worth of property in this short time. Inabil ity to check the flames has Deen responsible for the alarming proportions of these conflagrations, the element In almost every instant having only been subdued when there was no material within reach to feed its destructive fury upon. About last night, a passer by noticed a slight lire in the rear of a small store on Main street. The store occupied but a small portion of a good sized residence block and was kept by an Arabian, who dealt in confectionery and dry goods.

As the owner was not at home at the time it is not Irtiown how the flames originated. The remainder of the dwell ing was occupied by three foreign families. The alarm was sounded and the inmates managed to get out of the structure before the lire as sumed threatening proportions. Nothing could be done to check the flames, the wooden building burning like tinder, being in a mass of flames shortly after its last occupant had fled to safety. On the adjoining lot stood another residence, occupied by two foreign families.

The Are communicated to this and completely consumed it However, here the families were more fortunate, being able to rescue considerable of their belongings. Neigh boring dwellings were in danger from catching tire, but a bucket brigade extinguished sparks that alighted upon them and the fire was confined to the razed buildings. The dwellings were substantial structures and the loss will run into several thousand dollars. There was little insurance upon either. The fire burned with intense heat and the illumination was visible for miles around.

The conflagration rendered five foreign families homeless. The building, where the flames originated. was owned by Mrs. Eliza Shuster. of Blairstown.

N. while the adjoining residence was the property of Mrs. Merek Gimzek, of Dupont: Troubles do not come singly to Mrs. Gimzek, her husband having lost his life In the mines several months ago. NEWTON FARMER ARRESTED.

W. H. Smith, the Newton township tarmer, who set tire to his home and the clothing of his small daughter, Tuesday evening, was arraigned before Alderman M. J. Ruddy, of this city Thursday, on the charge of havins threatened the life of Jesse Ware, one of Smith's neighbors.

He was held in $500 bail for his appearance at court Smith is said to have threatened on many occasions to shoot holes through Ware. When he took the stand in his own behalf he stated that he had been misunderstood, having said that he would shoot holes through Ware's tur keys unless they were kept off his property. He stated that the turkeys had been going into nis cabbage patcb and destroying the cabbage. Scranton Times. LOCAL OPTION ENDORSED.
