BURNED TO DEATH. Moosic Young Man Lost His Life ast Night In a Fire. Tbe home of Thomas Mo Andrew, near stars a colliery, Moosic, was om pletely destroyed by fire last night and John McAndrew, a son, was burned to death as he slept while the other mem bers of tbe family had very narrow escapes for their lives. Mrs.

McAn drew breaking her arm in jumping from an upstairs window. The house caught fire In some unac countable manner, and it was all ablaze before the alarm could bs turned In. Tbe members of the family all slept upstairs with tbe exception of the young man, who bad a room on the ground floor. Those who were upstairs were aroused after the entire building was In flames and all were compelled to jump from the windows InTJrder to save their lives. Mrs.

McAndrew had the mlsfor une to break her arm. while the others" were badly bruised where they came in contact; with the earth. Nobody thought of the young man until It waa too late to make any at tempt to save hlin. When tbe ruins had. sufficiently cooled off to allow a search this; morning, the body was It as taken to the branch store of Undertaker Glennon.

'HJejetearjB' i Costs In the Hsagerty Dsmsge Suit Foot Up More Than Half the Amount of the Judgment Several Cases. Few residents of Plttston have cjsar idea of the large amount of lltl gauoa In which the city is involved, sad the expense attached thereto. We are reliably Informed that there are no fewer than seven cases now pending, besides one just settled.

As an exam ple of the costliness of court proceedings long drawn out the case of Hag gerty vs. Plttston Borough (City) is a good one. Sixteen years ago, Mary Haggerty, daughter of Anthony Hag gerty, fell on a defective walk In Upper Plttston, and received Injuries from which she died. The girl's father at once brought a suit in trespass against the city, or borough, as it was then, alleging neglect on the part of the municipality, and claiming large damages. After having been post poned seventeen times, case came to trial In the county court and judg ment was rendered In favor of the plaintiff for $600.

In the meantime, Anthony Haggerty, the plaintiff, had died, and bis administrator, Patrick Haggerty, took the case in hand. On the point of law that right of action died with the father of the deceased girl, the city appealed the case to the Superior Court, which this week rendered a decision sustaining the judg ment of the lower court And now comes an interesting sequel in the bill which the city will be obliged to pay. From the official statement forwarded by Brinton Jackson, it is learned that the original judgment is $600, the interest on the judgment, $45, and the court costs, $369.40, mak ing the neat total of $1,014.40, which must come out of the city treasury, Are culm piles taxable? is the inter esting and Important question involved In an action now pending In the Lu zerne Court between the Pennsylvania Coal Company and the City of Pltts ton. It is a test case, and the decision Is awaited with Interest It seems that the assessors ot the city saw fit to place a valuation of $1,200 for taxabl purposes on the Seneca culm pile, lo ated in the Fourth ward, which passed into the hands of the Pennsylvania Co. through the purchase of the Ravine shaft property from the Newton Coal Mining Co.

The Coal Company took an appeal, and the argument on the same is set down for Monday next iu court City Solicitor O'Brien will ap pear for the city, while Willard, War ren ft Knapp, of Scranton, will repre sent the appellant company. A bit of litigation that has not yet seen the light of publicity, is that In volving the right of two of the' Pitts ton City Assessors to hold office. John J.

In a few brief re marks.

He closed with the hope that this world had seen the last of war's dull reverberations and that universal arbitration would take the place of shot and 'shell tn the days that aro to come.

I 9'hese very commonplace remarks are I a Schurtlefr. This unfortunate physician was for years superintendent of the Stockton In sane asylum In California. He. was looked upon as a man of ex traordinary mental power, a great expert In insanity. He is now dying of dementia in the asylum which he used to control.

There is not the slightest question that mental disease was bred In bim by con stant association with those mentally afflicted. The climax in hia misfortune was canned by his failure to cure bis adopted daughter of insanity. When he discovered that ber esse was hopeless. his mind gave way, and he will spend the rest of his lire as a hooeiess lunatic If a man can be thus afflicted a re pulsive disease which can hare no possi ble attraction for bim. think bow nower tul and bow fatal must be the effects ot association with vices and afflictions thst attract us.

If a strong minded physician cannot as sociate with the Insane witbont himself becoming insane, what chance has young man, or a young woman or young child, left to associate with others morally deranged? l.rerr man or woman who is responsi ble for the care of young people should find a lesson in tbe affliction of this in sanity expert. bvery man and woman, bearing In Ind the fact that the brain absorbs Im pressions constantly and Is constantly changing Its complexion, should resolve to avoid such companionship snd surroundings as. they, would not willingly imitate.
