MANNER IN WHICH IT IS MADE Uoaid of Tifldj Is ill Correspondence with Mr. AM 1 1 son with a View to Having Him Come Hero und Conduct experiments. There is a prospect of Scranton ln oraisintr in Importance by leaps and bounds, if nmiiiKi'iiiLMils can bp mudu with R T,. Will.-on, of tfpriiy, X. C, who has uccld-ntully discovered u process of iniiiiiifactitrini; gas out of untlnuclto dust and Iinu Tho (iiioKtion has boon dlscussod In till' niolropcdltati pupcrs and tho IfStH which have been mad. convince exports that the discovery will create u lvvo lution In the gas inanulaetuiing Indus try. A Tribune reporter Interviewed Secretary Atherton, of the board of trade, yesterday, who staled thut he had written Mr. AVillson on March 2t, inviting him to conduct experiments In Scranton with a view to oi-j?an!i;inz a company to supply this city, Now York und Philadelphia with the newly dis covered gas, und pointing out the su perior advantages of tills city for lis cheap manufacture. The new gas is called acetylene, and the history of its discovery shows that It was accomplished in an accidental manner. Mr. Willsonwas bent uponsolvlng an other chemical problem and was usliix an electric furnace, and a mixture of lime and anthracite dust which he was handling fused into u heavy scml-me-tullic mass. As he did not require tho material, ho threw it into a bucket of water, when tho water effervesced vio lently and emitted the heavy gas known as acetylene. It was subsequently ascertained that tho solid was carbide of calcium, a pound of which yielded lil'iy-three cubic feet of the gas. Inhibition in Xew York. Mr. YVillson, a few days ago, ex plained his new process at X"w York before the Society of Chemical Indus try, when a number of burners were at tached to a tank arranged in the room, and the acetylene turned on. The American Druggist and Pharma ceutical Record made an Interesting re port of the event and cortilled that the lights burned with dazzling brightness and were white and steadfast, with no blue center. In discussing the extensive experi ments which he lias made, Mr. Wlilsnn estimates that the gas could be sold with profit at 5 cents per thousand cubic feet. A great inducement also is that the gas can be manufactured In private houses. The Xew York Sun says: A small converter In tho cellar of the house is connected directly with the or dinary gas pipes formerly used to convey the usual kind of gus from tha street main. By turning a valve, water Is ad mitted and the gas Is generated in the con verter: upon turning it back the genera tion of gas ceases. It Is proposed to use tills method for country houses. The gas, It is said, may, by pressure, be changed Into liquid form and sold In that form in closed and iitted cans read for Attach ment to the gas supply pipe of a. house. Another proposition is to use the solid calr ium carbide for Individual lights, such as a stand lamp, generating tho gas on t lie spot, or for lighting streets and railroad cars. Ordinary burners being too largo for acetylene, smaller burners will be used. It is said that the burners will let out one foot of gas an hour, and that the tlamo will be about SO-candle power, and have only one-half the heating power of common gas. This Would llo a Good Site. The groat Importance to Scranton In volved In this remarkable discovery Is that the culm piles can be utilized, thus removing the huge banks of culm as may be necessary from time to time In the heart of the city and affording em ployment for a large number of men, and at the same time supplying an ex cellent Illuminating gas at 5 cents per l.flOO cubic feet, in place of tho present charge of $1.25 for the same quantity. This new method has been discussed for years In Scranton, particularly uy the late Colonel J. A. Price, who made extensive experiments with a view of solving the problem of converting culm Into gas for fuel. Tho board of trado will make strenu ous efforts to Induce Mr. YVillson to lo cate his industry In this city and to orgaize a company to supply the large cities with Illumination.

PECULIAR ACTIONS AND TALK Contradicted tho Testimony of Plaintiff on Several Important Points-llcr Cross-examination Will Be Resumed This Morning by Judgo Valley. Dr. II. r. Meredith, of the Danville State hospital, was the 11 rat witness called in the Dickinson case la United States circuit court yesterday. Dr. Meredith Identified the signature of Dr. S. C. Sehultz, to a certificate of detention of Anna 15. Dickinson. Dr. Sehultx was then superintendent of the Danville asylum but has Einoe departed ! from this life. Attorney Thomas AY. liurlow, of the committee on lunacy of the state board of churitloH, was the second witness, lie iihnlilled the signature of Dr. SehulU, of Damllle, on the commit ment papers on which Miss Dickinson was sent to the tcylum. Miss Susan 1. Dickinson, of tills city, sister of the plain tin', was the next wit ness for the defense. Major Warren liiudo an elaborate and most exhaus tive examination of nil the details of the plaintiff's life from the time that she branched out as a public lecturer and boeran to earn money down to the time of her incarceration in the Dan ville Insano asylum. The witness assumed that her sister was not in her right mind from the manner of her actions about the house, the way she found fault with the ser vants, and her ugliness and Irritability of temper. She imagined herself the victim of conspiracies. All of Miss Anna's actions could be tolerated up till the date of February 1 Si1 , when she became dangerous and violent, and was starving herself to dealli through an Insane fear tlial poison had been mixed in her food. The Cross-!. xnmi nation. Major Warren concluded the direct examination of Miss Hunan at 3 o'clock, and Judge Dailcy began the cross-ex- j aniinatloii. She said that when her! sister, Anna, first branched out as a lecturer on tho rostrum the family lived ill Philadelphia, und constated of the mother, the witness. Miss Anna, and a brother. Samuel, who was employed ns a clerk for the Reading railroad com pany. Anna took trios about the country lccturiim'. When she returned she ad vocated moving from tho house the family occupied, bi caure she said It was not lit for a woman of national reputa tion to live in. Judge Dailcy wished to find out nil about the family affairs and who con tributed to the support of the family. Major Warren objected to all these de tails and court sustained the objection. Judge Dailey shifted the time then from : tho early days of the family in Phila delphia to the time that the Dickinsons llioveu lo n trM J nuaii a.-. engaged as special writer by several newspapers and earned about 10U a month. Hut her mother became sick and she had to give up most of her newspaper work to nurse her mother. The first time the witness observed evidences of insanity on the part of her sister was In the summer of ISStf In Philadelphia. Anna complained that she had a special nerve In hor head that gave her severe pains and her actions showed signs of an unbalanced mind. The witness had not assisted in the preparation of the defense; she has known Major Warren for three and one halt years, but aid nothing to him about the case until Monday morning ot this week. In fact, she had not shown any undue Interest in the prepa ration of the case. She exhibited only the same Interest as is usual for Impor tant witnesses to take in any case, Anna Decerns Violent. Miss Susan went over the details of the plaintiff's life from the time their mother died until Feb. 19, 1S91. On this date Miss Anna became so noticeably queer in her actions that the witness sent for Dr. lleilinan. Miss Susan told about the day that Anna stabbed her on the hand with a pair of scissors. That action convinced the witness that her sister was not In her proper mind. That same evening Anna went to the garret of the house about 8 o'clock nnd she began to pound and stamp on the floor and called to the servant to have a lamp brought up to her. YVlien the lamp was not furnished Anna became furiously excited. The witness was at the foot of the stairs and warned the servant not to take the lamp up to the garret to Anna, and the latter Immediately rushed down from the garret after the servant ami followed her out on the street and chased her across a vacant lot. She called the Servant a devil and other unladylike names. "Madam, did you ever call the serv ant a dunce or a blockhead or any other uncomplimentary term?" asked Judge Dniley. Tho witness nnswered that she had never shown more temper than was th?:i bplng exhibited by her. Judf;? Dailey carried tho witness for word then through the later events of Miss Anna's life up to and Including tho time of her incarceration In the Dan ville asylum. Tho witness explained till clearly nnd she wns still on the stand when court adjourned. Judge Acheson announced that court will resume this morning at 9 o'clock. POLICY OF RETALIATION.

Smith, of the South Side, was arrested and brought before Alder man Wright yesterday upon a chargn of assault perferrcd by Bernard Bubol, a neighbor, and was held in $300 ball to nppeur In court. The evidence revealed that the two neighbors were proceeding homewurd on March C, when they had a differ nee of opinion, but Bubol suggested that they should shake hands and be friends. Smith accepted but instead of grasping his friend's hand he grasped his throat. In order to add Insult do Injury Mr. Smith appeared before Alderman Holding and swore that he was In mor tal fear of Bubol, who was accordingly held in a heavy Hum to keep the peace.

Itcv. liishop llui ker, of tho Diocese of Olympiii, Wutdilngtou, Tells a St. I. tike's Congregation How the .Miner!, und Lum bermen Have lieen Lxhortcd Out of the Cliuich-Conditiou of llpl.scopol Work. At PI. Luke's Kpisoopal church last night Right IieV. V. M. Barker, bishop of the diocese of Olyinpin, Washington, spoke interestingly of the Episcopal missionary work In the far northwest. .Many of the conditions of 1 hat far nv.ay section explained by Hishop Dar ker were a revelation to most of his hearers and during no part of his dis course was there tardy attention. In troductory, he said that the whole of Ms subject might be compared to a painting by one of the old masters which had been three times painted, first the descriptions of the country, second tho religious condition of the people and third the religious work. He said i . - "For a long period preceding a few years ago, only the emotional side of the people had been appealed to and a peculiar state of tilings resulted. Tho emotional characteristics were burned out and the people were exhorted out of the church. By nature they are not a church going people. I do not moan to indicate that they are infidels; of that class I only met one In eight years. They are hungry for fundamental truth." To go f orth nnd Teach. Bishop Darker then told of the work that the Episcopal church is doing in the diocese of olympin, which extends from the t'asead" range to the Pacific and comprises about one-half the state, llo said that the underlying principle has been to "go forth and teach," fol lowing Clirlst's Instructions to the dis ciples just before the Ascension. To tills end missionary schools, hospitals and churches have been established in the Puget Sound jurisdiction, which is the largest missionary jurisdiction of the church. Rather than the lack of people, It is their impressive demands for churches and ministers which makes tho work of great magnitude. He revealed an unique method of bringing the rough element of lumber and mining towns to a proper concep tion of church spirit. An educated and cultured man, he said, not in sympathy with the people and who used a strange vocabulary, could not get in touch with them. Their sympathies are brought out by men of their kind. To this end laymen from the camps and nhitigle towns are appointed more largely than ministers and deacons and more satis factory results have been accomplished. Why They Ask Aid. A typical shingle mill town. Its in habitants and their lives and amuse ments were pictured. The demands of this religiously hungry population, he said, are in excess of the means to sup ply thorn, and ho explained that it is owing to this condition that the diocese Is forced to look to the F.ast for aid. Rev. Rogers Israel, the rector, an nounced that the evening- offering would be devoted to this missionary work. An Oyster Slipper.

TOOK HIM TO NEW YORK STATE That Littlo Trick Saved tho Doctor from Being Charged with Contempt of .Court Yesterday-Hod to Bo Released and Left at Once. Dr. Carl M. Kelley, of Equlnunk, Wayne county, the doctor who derived so much notoriety from the famous Jen nings vs. Lehigh Y'alley Railroad com pany trespass suit, played a very nr donlc trick yesterday on the common wealth of Pennsylvania. The ninth case on the list this week In common please court is that of John O. Jennings against the Lehigh Valley Railroad company. Jennings is trying to recover damages for the loss of his soli's services, und Dr. Kelley la the most important witness in the case, Tho doctor lived In Mlnooku. the time of the Mud Run disaster and attended to young Jennings. Three years ago the doctor left Mlnooka and took up ills practice in n place cillcd lOiiuinuiil!, in Wayne county. Major Warren, in court one lime, in spi ,il:ing about Hqul nunlt, referred to It us the remnants of an Iii'l! in camp. The doctor was subpoenaed once be fore to come on here and attend the trial, but he was too busy, he raid, mid the sheriff was S' lit alter hlin. He exhibited the same disregard for the law nt this ter.n and an attuclmi' iit was issued nnd 1) puty Sheriff Thomas V. Price went after hlo.i. Price Sent lflci l'.ic Doctor. Three weeks ago Constable Michael Thornton, of the Twentieth ward, went up to serve the subpoena on the doctor and came b ick with the report that he had scon the doctor and served the docium nt. W hen the attachment was Issued Deputy Price left Monday to bring on the evasive disciple of Kscula pius. Mr. Price wont to Lackawaxcn on the Krlo and Wyoming Valley rail road and took the Xew York, Lain- Ki le and Western from there to l.irdsvllle, a town in X-w York state opposite F.qulnunk and divided from it by the Delaware river. Mr. Price walked to the ticket win dow of the station and asked tho agent how soon he could get a train back, tell ing the agent that he first had lo go across to Kquinnnk on brief business. The agent told Mr. Price that tho regu lar would be along In a few minutes and that It did not usually stop, but would stop on that trip to take aboard Dr. Kelley. Mr. Price looked nroend and saw a young man under a silk hat in one corner of the room. Thbs, thought Mr. Price, must be my game and Investiga tion developed that such was the case. That was very agreeable to the depu ty, but ho could not take the doctor In custody, because Lordsvilie is in Xew Y'ork state; but Mr. Price figured out a wise plan. Thought he, I will go upon the train with my genial medical friend and when the train lands on Pennsyl vania soil, he will be my prisoner. The scheme worked like a charm, and tit a late hour Tuesday night Deputy Price reached Scranton with his prisoner. Doctor Wus Hcnl Clever. At 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon the doctor was called before the court to answer why he did not respect the sub- r poena of the court and come on here without the necessity of sending the slieritf after him. A large-Mzed line and the prison door were threatening the doctor, for it was his second of fense. But here Is how It ended: Con stable Thornton went to Kqulnunk and met the doctor, who invited lilm across lo Ixrd:!ville, in another state, to take a drink. There the subpoena was served and that saved the doctor, as the process was Invalid. Under the circumstances court had to discharge Dr. Kelley. He was not served wii the subpoena In this state, proved that fact lo the court and was let go. His opponents were dazed at the proceeding and the doctor look ths next train home. - ABE POSNEU IN TROUBLE. Charged with a Series of Petty Of fenses.
