PEOPLE S STORE England and the Continent Depend on Light and Air Are Mature** Own and London, Sept. 25.—The demnnd for American grown fruit Is quite wonderful. America is now renping great benefit from the storms which made the past summer one of the worst on record In Great Britain and the continent. American Supply. Malaria, low fevers or kindred diseases thrive in bad air, even if they are not induced by it, nnd'the sense of smell is a gift bestowed upon man to warn him of unseen dangers in the air he breathes. Because the cellar is dark and drafty and is looked upon by the indifferent housekeeper as one more unwelcome care the warning of n close, damp smell Is not heeded until some member of the family succumbs to illness and the house or neighborhood is abandoned and condemned as unhealthy. A prompt inspection will often reveal a simple cause for the disturbance, and a little common sense will easily remedy it. Beat Sanitary Agents.

A member of the most prominent English firm dealing in foreign fruit says: Things This Week we offer the following special lotas MANY NARROW ESCAPES. "There has never been anything like It. Europe's 111 wind has certainly brought good to America. We art spending five and six hours a day in the auction box disposing of double as much California fruit as we ever did before at prices ranging from 25 to 30 per cent higher. We have no dlfliculty in securing all we want from America, but we can scarcely order quickly enough. Lot 1—Men's extra heavy Blue Denim Overalls for 45c a pair.

But there is no exception to the acception in the matter of beer. There is good beer and bad beer; costly beer and cheap beer; and some beer so bad that it does not deserve the name of beer at all. We claim that Stegmaier's Beer is the purest, richest, and finest beer in the market today. It has stood the test of time and its superior excellence has never been surpassed.

Fifty Guests Were Asleep in the Hotel Movement Which Threatened to Tie Up All the Roads In Northern New Jersey Was Speedily Brought to a Close—Terms Unknown. Brunswick, in Rochester, N. H., Judge Seeds Administers 8harp Rebuke to National Guards' Display of Force—Review of the Case Which Caused the Trouble. This Morning, When Fire Started in the Structure, Light and air nre nature's own and best sanitary agents, and It Is highly desirable that the cellar should have the services of both. A direct draft through It will save doctor's bills, -but In most houses the cellars are completely underground, inaccessible to either light or air. The windows are sunk below the surface of the yard or street, making a pocket for dirty papers, rags and trash of every description. Unless those sills are kept perfectly clear, so that the window can be opened without dropping the trash In the cellar or squeezing it back on Itself, every breath of air supplied to the house through the cellar or furnace Is polluted. Such matter should be burned or destroyed as it accumulates, as there Is no sense in cleaning out the pocket and leaving the trash in a pile above the ledge, where a gust of wind or the next rain will bring it back. Newark, N. ,T., Sept. 25.—The trolley strike in Newark has beefa declared off. Tills announcement was made after 1 o'clock this morning by President Mc- Carter. I Lot 4—1 case 11-4 heavy Blankets; we have them in white, grey and tan, for !)8 cents a pair. Lot 5—1 bale of heavy unbleached muslin, the regular Cc quality for 5c a yard. Lot (J—Ladies' Muslin Gowns, a well made garment nicely trimmed with embroidery, for 50c. Rochester, N. H„ Sept. 25— Hotel Brunswick, near the Boston and Maino depot, was burned shortly after midnight last night. Two lives were lost and four persons are unaccounted for. There were between 40 and 50 guests at the time the fire started, and, besides' the dead, all except four wore accounted for this morning. As no trace of their bodies have been found In the ruins, which were thoroughly searched, it is believed they escaped safely. The hotel register gives the names of the two who perished as Mr. and Mrs. Harwood, of Concord, N. Y. There were many narrow escapes, a number saving themselves by JTimtilng from windows. Several were injured, but not seriously. There Is -practically no English fruit obtainable, while France, which usual ly exports large quantities of pears to England, is sending none. The American section of Covent Garden market is now almost the sole source of supply, und there'are no slgus of the demand decreasing. American apples, which hitherto could not be profitably shipped hither till later in the year, now have a brisk trade. Forty-two thousand barrels of Canadian apples are expected in London at the end of this week, and record prices are assured. Cripple Creek, Colo., Sept. 25.—With 300 armed men. two Gatling guns und sharpshooters stationed on the top of every building overlooking the courthouse of Teller county, the militia appeared at court with the four prisoners for whose release from the military authorities writs of habeas corpus bad been issued. For severui hours last night Newark suffered all the inconvenience of a tieup of all the trolley lines. At the rush hour the motorinen on the Newark and Bloomfield line had their cars under cover and abandoned them. Trolley service to the suburbs on that line, Ineludiug Montclalr, Glen Ridge and Verona, was entirely bus pended. Lot 7—Children's Fleece Lined llibbed Sleeping Garments, all sizes, for 25 cents. Judge Seeds rendered his decision maintaining the supremacy of the civil law ordering the military commander to deliver the prisoners to the sheriff and delivering a rebuke for the presence of troops Hi the courtroom. General Chase, the military commander, was in court. NEW D"RESS GOODS—This week we offer some unusual values in New Black Dress Goods. The sales last week in Ixmdon marked u record with 27,000 boxes of American fruit, representing about 075,000 pounds weight. The fruit was sold at a two days' auction in Covent Garden market, the prices averaging 30 pel cent above what has heretofore beei. obtained here. The sales were chiefly of California pears and iVlAins, with a fair consignment of state Bartlett pears. ' I A general tleup of all Hues operated by the Public Service corporation was expected. This would have included Newark, Paterson, Jersey City, Hoboken, Elizabeth and surrounding places. PEOPLE S STORE. In the decision Judge Seeds said: "I cannot close without referring to the military display in this case. It was offensive to the court and In its opinion unwarranted and unnecessary. Nevertheless I tolerated it because it was by the national guard, and if I had Insisted upon its withdrawal a conflict would surely have arisen with the entire national guard of the state upon one side and a mere posse coniltatus on the other. The meu have demanded 22 cents an hour, the abolition of the "split run" system anil recognition of the union. President MeCarter of the Public Service corporation, which controls most ot the trolley lines, had practically promised that the company would accede tc the men's demands, but It Is understood that there has been objection to this on the part of some of the directors.STEGMAIER BREWING COMPANY, 15 South Main St., Pittston. NEXT TO DRUEY'S. READING COLLIERIES SUSPEND. WILKESBARRE, PA. Will Work Only Four Days Next Week, No one would dream of fitting his windows with smoked glass, yet in many houses the cellar windows are not washed from one year's end to another, and the surface of the glass presents a crust of soot and dirt that Is fairly disgusting and quite sufficient to obstruct the beneficent ray of light. on Account of Limited Demand. Philadelphia, Sept. 25.—President Baer made the following announcement today: The Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Co. will work Its Shamokln collieries only four days next week. The demand for Shamokin coal, which is soft and friable, is limited and not one of character for storage. Two collieries, namely, the Shenandoah City and Silver Creek, will shut down on Saturday, Sept. 26, for general repairs. The North Mahanoy colliery will sliut down for repairs on Oct. 3. EVANS BROS. ** PRICES BACK TO WASHING"!"' President and Family Will Leave Oys- ter Bay Monday Next. "The hearing of the case would have been necessarily Indefinitely delayed. I trust that there will never again be such an unnecessary Intrusion of soldiers In the halls and about the entrance of American courts of justice. It is not uncommon to find the walls under and around the casement streaked with greenish, more or less slimy stains. The prevailing superstition seems to be that this dampness trickles down the wall and Is absorbed somehow by the earth—a poor overworked standby, reeking with surfeit for several feet below the level. Usually the fault is not In the wall, but In the setting of the casement, and can be corrected liy having all the cracks between the framework and the wall filled in with a generous supply of mortar. Attention to this one detail will often change a damp cellar to a dry one. The only other cause for dampness is a dirt floor, and when a house Is built on made ground the sooner the floor is cemented the better for the health of the house dwellers. A Ruth Hour Tieup. Oyster Bay, N. Y., Sept. 25.—The return of .President Itoosevclt and his family and the executive force to Washington has been fixed for next Monday morning at 9- o'clock. At 11 o'clock the party will board a special train on the Pennsylvania railroad at Jersey City, which is scheduled to arrive in Washington at 4:10 p. m. The president then will have been absent from the capital thirteen weeks and two days. Coming as It did at the busiest traffic hour of the day, the strike caught thousands of working people and shopper* unprepared. Many of them were compelled to walk miles to their homes In the suburbs. The strike was rapidly progressive.

Here the motormen abandoned them, and the conductors turned In their reports and walked away. As fast as the men deserted their cars they walked to Lyric hall, where they went into secret session. The strike was unlooked for because the national officers of the Trolley Carmen's association had not authorized the strike. English Stocks Take Big Tumble. London, Sept. 25.—Consols today fell to 88% and other stocks took a similar downward trend. It is feared a period of depression, accompanied by hard timeB, has started. It is generally conceded that ex-Colonial Secretary Chamberlain's tariff campaign . will aggravate this by making business conditions uncertain. Upon hearing the decision General Chase simply gave the order to "fall In," thus refusing to obey the court. The prisoners were compelled to take their places in -the line, and the entire contingent marched out of the courtroom.Qeneral Defies Court.

Another remedy lies In the whitewashing of the walls and celling. This should be done In the autumn on a fair, dry day, and a whitewash composed of lime and finely sifted wood ashes (one quart of wood ashes to a large bucket of lime) will be found to be an excellent disinfectant. Lumps of unslaked lime. If left In the cellar until they crumble, will also purify the air, but they must be removed after they have crumbled, as their usefulness Is over, and If they rcmuln they merely contribute fine white dust to that already In the cellar. Especial attention Is called to the fact that the celling as well as the walls should be whitewashed. Where the celling of the cellar forms the floor of the first story this Is doubly Important, as It preserves the wood and destroys the lairs of spiders and other household pests that would otherwise come up through the cracks of the floor Into the living rooms. Moreover, when the walls and celling are a dazzling white the least spot of damp or mildew becomes conspicuous, dusty festoons of cobwebs become an eyesore and the deadly microbe, with  pestilential breath, will flee from them. —Table Talk. Newark's trolley system spreads out like a fan. Scores of well populated sections, such as the Oranges, Harrison and Arlington, to say nothing of Eliza beth, Pater so 11 and Jersey City, are all connected with Newark by lines thai come together at Broad and Market streets. This junction was crowded In the early evening with surging masses of people, all struggling to board a sin gle car that every tlve or ten minute! made its way over the line. Thousands of workers, many of them girls and the majority living miles from Newark were left without means of conveyance to their homes and with little or no money In their possession.

Stoddard, of Worcester, Mass., formerly president of the Worcester and Nashua railroad, who was stricken with apoplexy yesterday, while testifying in the supreme judicial court, died here today. The governor declared later that he had Instructed the soldiers to surrender the prisoners to the civil authorities conditional on the county prosecuting to the utmost the charges against them. As there are no charges tiled, the statement Is considered paradoxical.Big Game In Custody. Stcubenville, O., Sept. 26.—The two men who are charged with having robbed Farmer John Kerr of $3,000 and who were captured after being pursued and shot by a posse of farmers last Monday have been identified as William Wilson and Cameron Bostetter, alias "Big Charley" Adams. Houston Keepler of Barberton, O., came here and has identified the two men as those who swindled him out of $3,000 in a card game in 1801. A guard has been placed around the jail because of the presence of a number of strange men in town who are believed to be friends of Wilson and Bostetter and who, the authorities fear, may attempt a rescue.

Since that time several prominent members of the miners' union, including all the members of the executive committee, which had the strike In charge, have been arrested without warrants and held in the guardhouse.
