DAY AT IHilllE
' p
Colliery 'at That Placa Iaspscted by a Tarty
oa Mr. Richmond's Invitation.
THE PLANT IS VERY COMPLETE
About the Colliery, Which Was
Erected in What Two Years Aro
Was a Wilderness, Has Sprung Up
a Town Named In Honor of the
Owner Description of the Breaker
and Its Appointments.
A party omnosea of persons residing
la Scranton, Dickson City and Carbon
dale yesterday, by invitation of William
U. Richmond, visited Ktoumondale, a
new mining town at the nortbern ex
tremity of tbe county and inspected tbe
colliery that Mr. Richmond recently
put in operation at that place.
Those who comprised the psrty wore
Mr. and Mrs. W. ,H. Richmond, Miss
Clara Richmond, Thomas Wrier and
daughter, Mis Clara Grier, Dickson

and James Archbald, of this city. They
left the city in a special car attacbed
to the 10.53 a. in. New York, Ontario
and Western railroad passenger train,
Superintendent Williams, of the Scran-
ton division of the road, being in
chart's of the party.
Richmondalt) is "reaohttJ by a branch
rad three miles long, which U an off
shoot of tbe uorthwest branch of the
New York. Ontario and Western
railroad. The latter branch strikes out
from tbe main lias at Sinipsoaville a
few miles above Carbondule. The
grade to Richinondale is heavy, nud
when tbe uew town is reached the visi
tor finds himself over 1,500 feet above
tbe sea level.
A JUUN1FICE.NT PANORAMA.
Tbe little town occupies a plateau
near the summit of the mountain and
commands view of a magniQoent
sweep of country to tbe south and east,
rich in nil the varying hues of farm,
mountain and dell.
Twoyears ago the place was a wil
derness, bnt Mr. Richmond's energy
and puise have worked wonders. Tbe
town is about two miles southwest of
Forest City, five miles east of Carbon
dale and two and one-half miles south'
east of Crystal lake.
The one thouund acres which Mr.
Richmond has nndsr lease is the prop
erly of the Morss estate and was pur
chased forty years ago by G L. Morss
simply for its value as timber land.
At that time it was supposed that the
coal belt ended some distance this side
of tba land.
Of recent years there was an impres
sion that there was coal under the land
and two years and a half ago Mr. Rich
moud put down a bore bole and at a
distance of 200 feet from tbe surface
found a vein of coal 7 feet in
thickness. Twenty feet further down
an 8-foot vein was met and below that
are three other workable veins.
Two years ago the task of construct
ing a colliery in the midst of the forest
whs liegun. A saw mill was first
hanld to the spot with ox teams and
when it was put in readiness for oper
ation trees were felled and the lumber
for ths construction of the breaker,
bouses and shops sawed. In the mean
time the railroad was constructed and
the machinery for the breaker carried
np the mountain on it. Tbe breaker
was completed a few months ago and
put In cp raticn.
TUB COLLIERY INSPECTED.
When the inspecting party alighted
nt Rlchmondale yesterday they found
a town of fifty neat and comfortable
bouses, a large store, saw mill, the
breaker and the shops connected there-
witb. After viewing the town and in-
Lalicg the exhilarating breezes that
sweep across the platean from Elk Hill
to turviow the party adjourned to tbe
second story of tbe store building where
a tasteful lunch was served.
Tbe colliery was tbeti inspected. It is
one tbe nt most complete in the anthra
cite region, every known appliance for
skilfully baudling and preparing coal
for market being employed.
There is one feature of tbe colliery
that has no duplicate In tbe coal region
It is Mr. Richmond's own idea. The
mine law requires that a breaker shall
be erected at least 200 feet from tbe
shaft and consequently nit nearly every
colliery two scans ohvs io lie Kept in
operation, one for lifting the coal, tbe
other for tne use or tne men.
Mr, Richmond over bis shaft has a
steel tower 187 feet in height erected.
At a height -f 1)0 feet in this tbe cars
as tbov come from the shaft are dump
ed automitically without leaving the
carriage, wbtcb saves mnoh time
and labor. The coal drops into
a cMite which carries it a distance
of 217 feet to the breaker where
it passes through crushers and is after
ward separated into the various sizes
by revolving and shaking screens. All
of the machinery used is of the most
approved type and was constructed by
the Finch Manufacturing company,
which has fitted a majority of the
breakers throughout ;tb Lackawanna
region which are owned by individual
operators.
OCTrCT OF THE COLLIERY.
The colliery, if necessary, can plnoe
1,500 tons of prepared co il on tbe mar
kat n day, but at present it is produc
Ing 15,000 tons a month. There is esti-
mated to be 1,500,000 tons of coal under
tbe trout Mr. Richmond has under
lease. All sizes of coal from birdsey
np are produced, the finer grades sup
plying the boilers at tbe colliery.
There is a man way throngh a drift for
tbo use of the mm a short distanee
from the breaker which furnishes the
second opening rsamred by law.
A select eotaool is now being held at
Richmondale, and Full township has
mads arrangements for the ereotlon of
a public school there. The Methodists
of Forest City and the Presbyterians of
Carbondala have established missions
Tbe colliery is in charge of Richard
Beer, inside foreman: William Aoder
son, outside foreman, and W. W. Ship
man. breaker foreman.
At 3 30 the party started on the
homeward trip from Riobmondale. On
tbe train a meeting was held, of which
Colonel II. M. Boles was president and
J. F. Mltobell secretary. W, R. Storrs
was the first speaker. He said he de
sired to thank Mr. Richmond most
heartily for tbe pleasant and profltabl
day the members of the party bad en
joyed. He was followed by ex-Justice
Alfred Hand, who said:
MR. BAND'S ADDRESS-
''I wish to express my gratification
at this pleasant outing, it was very
kind of Mr. Richmond to invite ns n
hers, first to show us what nature ha
done and then to demonstrate the vie
tory that art bad aobieved over nature.
Mr. Richmond Is to be congratulated
on his pluck which cirrlsd $liii enter
prise to success and I hope that tie will
continue to be sucoss-iful and tint be
will live long to enjoy ths unny suo
cvsti'S he has Bohiev.nl, I move a vole
of thanks to Mr. Richmond and tbe
ladies who assisted bim in entertaining
us."
Tbo motion was seconded by James
Archbald in a short speech and whs
carried nnanimoaslv amid rousing
cheers. After congratulatory remarks
by Colonel Boies the meeting ad
journed,
the Klchmondala is tho fourth
breaker that Mr. Richmond has built.
His first was oonstrncted at Dickson
:ity in 1800. In 18!?3 it was burned
down and tbe following year be put up
a breaker east of the Biisbin colliery
n the Second ward of this city. In
1800 that oolliery was disposed of by
Mr. Riohmond and he thou sunk a
shaft in the First ward of this city.
Tbe coal taken from it is drawn to his
breaker at Dickson City, about a mile
distant, where it Is prepared for
market.

A BURGLAR CN THE HILL.
atered ths Bisldence of R. B. Williams,
on Clay Avnue.
About 1 o'clock yesterday morning
an attempt wns made to burglarize the
residuueu of R, B. Williams, ut 030
Clsy avenu.
Mr. Williams was out of town on
Thursday, but wus expoctsd to return
late that night or early yesterday morn
ing. Thursday night wbou Mrs. Will-
Hius and ber daughter retired they
supposed they hud locked all the doors
ud windows: but tbe front door,
whiob bus a spring loek, did not catch.
About 1 o clook they were awakened
by foot stops in the hull just outside
tielr lied-rooin door, and thiuking It
was Mr. Williams returning, Mrs.
Williams culled to him. The intruder
beat a hasty retreat. Mrs. Williams,
when she received no response, became
lurmed and went to tho window to
iiminon aid. She saw a man run across
the street und dowu Clay uvenue. She
ailed to linn to stop,but it ouly caused
bim to quickeu his pace.
Watchman Allies Gibbons, who is
doing special duty in thut vicinity,
urd Mrs. Williams call, und with
her made a thorough search through
the hous). Burned matches were
found scattered here and there throngh
the lower part of the bouse.
A 'Ikiuune reporter called at the
Williams residence Inst evening and
earned from Mrs. Williams that noth
ing had been stolen. Tbe thief was
apparently looking for watches, dia
inonds or monoy, for he overlooked the
costly sllverwitrs that was in tbe din
ing room.
Thursday afternoon a strange man
came to the back door and asked tbe
servant it Mr. Williams was at home.
When told that he was not, he asked if
there were any small children in the
house, to which question be received
the same reply, and, seemingly con
tented, walked away.
At the residence last night no descrip
tion of the man could be given save
that he wore a dark coat and a straw
bat. and Mrs. Williams says that the
man she saw running down Clay nve
nue was dressed in the same way. This
s the first attempt at burglary that has
been heard of on tbe bill tor some
lime.

the interost of the Pastors' union and
Attorney A. D. Dean represented de
fendant, Henry Ilengler, in the first
asa called, Mr. Ilengler was put upon
thestand. His testimony was to tba
effect that he is proprietor of an eating
nouse near the corner of Washington
und Lackawanna avenutt; that be sup
plies meals, iaulullnz tea, colics and
soda water to bis custoinors.

May 0, 1801
lhe cuse of D. S. Ryan was the next
one called. Colonel Hitchcock repre
sented tbe defense. Attorneys J. El
liot Ross nnd T. P. Hoban were in be
half of Ryan. Charles A. Wylle. as
sistant secretary of tbe Young Men's
ciirlstian association, swore that be
passed Ryan's drng store at noon on
Sunday, May 6, 1894. He saw four per
sons enter the store, walk np to the
soda fountain, get three glasses of
soda and pay for tbe same.
Mr. Dony s testimony was substan
tially the same as Mr. Wylie's, except
that be could not swear that ths clerk
ut the soda fountain rsoeived pay for
the beverage he saw drank.
Attorneys frank Filztiinmons and
Fred R, Sturk appsarod for Cigsr
Dealer E. Moses. Mr. Moses admitted
that he deemed himself gnilty of vio
luting the act of 1704 nnd that was tbe
reason why he went before Alderman
Fitzsimmons and paid bis fine, which
he thought was basis enough to entitle
mm to make a plea or ptior conviction
Mr. Moses denied with much empha
sis the assumption that there was uuy
collusion between himself and Alder
man Fitzsimmons by which a portion
of the fine reverted to him. Attorney
S. B. Price is ill, and as he is conusel
for McGarrah & Thomas, the case
against them was not taken np.
Court gave no intimation of what Its
decision in the esses will be.
