J. Gardner Sanderson Tells Members of
Board of Trade How to Obtain Then.
READS AN INTERESTING PAPER
In It He Kiplniu Ihc Result of the
Experiment He Hits Been Conduct
ing Tor Some Time at Columbus
HreuUerr.cs the Tine Oust That
Itcmtiins Alter All of the Mar
ketable Coal Is Screened.
OnAif the Interesting features of last
night-" meeting of the bonrd of trade
was a paper read by J. Gardner San
derson, of this city, on his experiments
in producing gas from the 'anthracite
roul dust left after all of the grades
of coal that are imirkutuble are screen
ed. The paper caused n sensation
among the member of the board to
whom the facts contained In it
were a revelation. Mr. Sanderson's pa
per was as follows
"During u r-ceiit visit or the secre
tary of the Si viiiitini Board of Trade,
to the cxp"l Iment.tl gas plant erected
early in the summer near the Columbus
colliery on Washington avenue, lie re-
Itiesteil me to give to the public
through the bonrd of trade, a. state
ment of tin results attained ut this
plant, together with sifoh Information
us to the value, uses and possibilities
of the gas there produced as would
likely be of interest to this commun
ity. "In answer to the request I have pre
pared the following memorandum of
facts to which 1 desire to call the at
tention of the users of power, that they
may see the immense possibilities lying
dormant In culm piles of the nnthruclte
regions.
Producer gas made with anthracite
coul is not a new product but one
which has been growing in use for sev
eral years. In INK! the stnte commis
sion on the 'Waste of Local Mining"
gave u 'partial list of uses ot the small
sizes of anthracite: with fins Produc
ers' naming fourteen different manu
facturing poroses, and referred to the
vast range of uses to which the gas ob
tained Is applicable.
"Mr. Gantt in Cnssler's November
'95 under the hund of 'Gaseous Fuels,'
described the various appliances for
producing gas with prepared anthra
cite, with analysis of the gas, Its use
and elllciency In gas ongln 'S, etc., nnd
Mr. Thwiate in the same magazine un
der under the heading 'Cheap Gas
Power,' discussed the comparative ef
ficiency of steam and gas engines,
showing the superiority of the gas en
gine. POWER OP THE FUTURE.
"Thomas Frood in the Canadian En
gineer of July last published an Inter
esting article on 'The Power of the Fu
ture' contending that steam has had Its
day, and that gas and electrlcty are
now contending for supremacy with
gas In the lend.
"Nelson W. Perry has a carefully pre
pared article In the October number of
the Engineering Magazine discussing
'Gas Versus Electricity for Power
Transmission,' in which the demon
strates the great economy of gas en
gine power as well ns the fact that for
short distances power may be trans
mitted much cheaper by gas than by
electricity. .
"The late Denny Lane, who was a
gas engineer of prominency stated be
fore the Institute of civil engineers
that 'with ordinary town gas sixteen
candle power 3,000 horsepower could
be sent a distance of one mile for an
expenditure of 1 horsepower, an econo
my of distribution far exceeding that
possessed by any other system, either
hydrollc, pneumatic, or electric, being
only 1-30 per cent, of the power con
veyed.' I found at the Otto Gas En
gine Works, West Philadelphia, where
they employ gas engine power, the gns
being produced with buckwheat coal,
costing $2.6.1 per ton In their bins, that
their weekly cost per horsepower for
fuel was 6 cents and under, and that
one pound of coal furnished 1 horse
power per hour. The Otto company
guarantee one horsepower per hour for
1V4 pounds anthracite per coal, with
producers and engines of their own
construction. They assert practice has
demonstrated that eighteen cubic feet
of gas per hour are required for each
1.200 candle power arc light per hour
on a circuit of several miles, embrac
ing 130 lamps. This would be at the fol
lowing cost for gas In holder an expense
to each lamp per hour as follows:
"At 10 cents for gas, equals 1-100 of
1 cent per lamp.
"At G cents for gas equals 9-100 of 1
cent per lamp,
WHAT IS DONE AT DANRURV.
"At Danbury Conn., gas and elec
tricity are furnished by the same com
pany. They have 3-100 horse-power.
Otto gns engines, run with producer
gas made with anthracite egg coul,
costing at the time of my visit $ii per
ton. They are satisfied that they have
a very economical plant, und say they
get 1 horse-power per hour with .one
pound of coal.
"The American Gas Engine company,
of Philadelphia, have recently pur
chased the patents for what Is known
In England as the Kilmarnock engine,
nnd they are now being mnde by The
Western Gas Construction company,
of Fort Wayne, Ind. These engines are
made double acting and tandem. They
offer engines up to 1,000 horse-power.
There are engines of 000 horse-power in
use in England.
"TheWestlnghouse eompany are mak
ing and experimenting with an engine
of their own design, and there ure a
number of different styles of gas en
gines now being manufactured in this
country. Inventive skill Is actively
engaged tn the development of this
class of engines, and I believe with
many others that the steam engine
will be displaced generally, by this
safer, more convenient ami cheaper
power. .
"We have all heard of the wonder
ful things that would come about
when electricity could be generated di
rect from coal, and the great discovery
of Dr. Jacques, of Host on. has been her
alded as that fore-runner of these won
ders, but Mr. Dunning, a practical gas
engineer, contends that with the gas
engine and dynamos the production of
electricity from a given quantity 'of
coal, is today greater and less costly
than produced "direct from the coal'
as In Dr. Jacques battery. . And so I
might continue to cite authorltleslem
onstrating the value and uses of cheap
gas for power fnd fuel purposes, but
hope sufficient evidence has been given
to attract your attention to the im
portance of the subject.
WHAT WE CAN DO.
"Now as to what we are able tn do,
with the millions of tons of waste coal
scattered through the coal regions.
After working over the piles and ex
tracting all the marketable sizes, the
earth will still be encumbered with mil
lions of tons of unmarketable stuff.
With this I am prepared to make a gas
ns valuable for fuel as the best prepared
coal, and far more efficient In power
using gas engines, than the host of
coal with steam engines. Special de
vices were necessary In the use of culm.
It could not be used In any of the pro
ducers before-made. To force the nec
essary amount of air for combustion,
and steam for decomposition, uniform
ly, through a mass of fine culm from 3
to 4 feet deep, requires not only con
siderable pressure, but an equal dis
tribution of the air and steam through
the mass, with no vertical openings for
the dust or culm to fall In or through, or
to blow openings called volcanoes
up through the fuel, also means for
maintaining a uniform depth of fuel.
"These provisions being worked out
we are able to produce gas with this
material without more trouble or cost
than with prepared coal, and this we
have been doing for several months.
By actual measurement we produce and
store from 11S.000 to 120,000 cubic feet
of gas with one ton of the fine waste
from the washing. With culm from the
pile after taking out all stees above
buckwheat we get about 140,000 cubic
feet per ton. 50 cubic feet of gns In a
gas engine Is a large allowance for one
horse power per hour, hence one ton
of culm will furnish 2.800 horse power
per hour, or 2S0 horse-power for ten
hours, und there Is no waste of fuel
when the power Is not In use. No
boilers to care for, insure nnd explode;
and but little expensive water required.
A CONVENIENT Ft'EL.
"Aside from cheap power we have a
cheap and convenient fuel. As an in
stance, nt Oxford. N. J., gaseous fuel
from anthracite buckwheat was used
in all of the furnaces at the nail works,
nnd Mr. Lukins Informed me that about
lion pounds of buckwheat coal converted
into gas, did the work of 1,000 pounds
of egg coal used direct, itesides the
convenience of handling nnd certainty
of the hent, was freedom from dust
nnd sulphur.
"For domestic purposes gaseous fuel
Is in every way most desirable and is
being extensively used even Where
more expensive than coal.
"The gus made with anthracite coul
is not of itself illuminating, hpt with the
Welsbach burner It gives a bright
white incandescent light. I have cur
huroltcd the gas making it luminous,
and increasing Its eiliclency. This
would aiiil but little to 'its cost nnd
might be desirable for domestic pur
poses. "I know of no device enabling us tn
use the waste from the washcry under
boilers, and it is well known there Is
great waste of fuel In burning the
average culm. The elllciency of boilers
are greatly Increased by use of gns
and their life extended, und where culm
is used it would be economy to generate-
gns, and use it under the boilers
instead of using the culm direct.
"At our gas plant we are able to show
the gas being burned In a furnace, un
der it boiler, in a cooking range1, a heat
ing stove nnd a Welsbach burner, and
I will be pleased to exhibit and explain
the process of producing the gus to any
interested In the sublect."
In the course Mf the general talk
which followed the reading of the pa
per. Mr. Sanderson said that a pro
ducer which would make enough of
gus to dun a 2S0-horse power engine
would cost about $2,500 complete.
On motion of J. A. Lansing a vote
of thnnks was extended to Mr. Sander
son for his puiier.
The matter of the resignation of J.
W. flrownlng wns laid over until the
next meeting and the membnrship ot
II. C. McKenzie was transferred to
T. H. Watts. A communication from
the Carpenters' nnd Joiners' I'nlon
was read, thanking the board for the
invitation to hold Its next convention
in this city.
FURNISHING NEW QUARTERS.
The following report of the committee
thnt hns the furnishing of the new
board of trade rooms In charge was
rend and adopted:
To the President and Members of ths
Seliintoil Hoard of Trade.
Gentlemen: Your committee to whom
was referred the furnishing of our rooms
in the new board or trade building, bog to
report that we have made the following
contracts for furnishings, with Hill He
Council for furniture, 8. O. Kerr & Co.,
for carpet In secretary's room, Williams
& McAnnlty for carpet In library. Gold
smith's Uaza-.it' for curtains, and with
Conrad Schroeder for polished hard wood
floor In the ussemhly room.
The furniture will be of quartered oak,
latest style and finish. The carpets are
of the best body Brussels, and the shades
of the best material.
When all is in place we will lie very
comfortably and handsomely housed, as
we hope, for many years. This will re
quire an expenditure of nhout $2,000. Your
committee Is very anxious as wo know
you all are that we take possession of
our new quarters, furnished complete,
free from debt. This can be done if oue;i
member will see to it that his due arc paid
promptly.
It is contemplated, we nre Informed,
to open our rooms with a banquet, not
only because of our taking possession of
these elegant quarters, but In celebration
of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the In
corporation of this organization. It is
therefore especially desired, that upon
this happy and auspicious occasion we enn
be able to say in the broadest sense of tho
term what we have is ours.
It Is to every member's individual Inter
est to see to It that the credit of tho
Scranton bonrd of trade is always main
tained at Its present high standard.
Therefore nsslst your committee In the
labor you havo put upon them. Their in
terests are no greater than your own.
Respectfully submitted: A. W. Dickson,

HUGH J. RUSH WILL GO TO TRIAL
Eugene Hull and Benjamin Wilson
Returned Not Utility of Stealing the'
Pcrsonnl Property of William II.
Johuxon, of tho Oriental Club.
Adam Nudlusky and Wife Tried
tor Assaulting Peter Cbappel.
The second and last week of criminal
court began yesterday morning. Judge
Edwards is presiding.
Michael Cudden. of the West Side,
who with another young man, Hugh
J. Rush, was cuught In the net of bur
glarizing Howiey liros." hardware store
on Hen o avenue, at an early hour of the
morning on July 21 last, was called tot
trial and he had his mind made up to
in ktiowledge his guilt. He will be sen
tenced Saturday. Hush will be tried
during the week. He wus found in an
outbuilding on the premises, and hopes
to be able to prove that he wus drunk
nnd wandered in there, fell asleep nnd
had nothing at all to do wtlh the bur
glary.
Edwurd Kolskv, ol Simpson, was put
on trial to unswer the churgo of steal
ing a mine drill from Thomns Crogan,
of that place. The evidence was not
sunicienl to convic t and a verdict ol
not gulliy was returned.
William O Hunt, ol Dunniore, wns
cnlled to unswer the charge of being
the father of Mary O'Neill's child. The
prosecutrix was at one, lime tin inmate
of the Insane department of tho Hill
side home und her mind is not very
strong. She failed to show beyond a
nsonable doubt that O llnru was tii"
cause of her trouble, and the jury
found him guilty only of unlawful con
duct. HUFF AND WILSON ESCAPE.
Emrene Huff and Beniumin Wilson.
two gentlemen of color, were put on
trial charged with looting the Oriental
club house of William H. Johnson in
Onkford court. Mr. Johnson went
nwav on a vacation in the early part
of the summer and left Wilson and Hulf
In charge of the rlub. hen he came
back his clothes, razors, mandolin, re
volver and a Jug of whiskey were gone.
He had a very large wardrobe and a
very loud one-, and his loss altogether
amounted to nearly $300. The goods
were afterwards recovered. One of the
thieves hnd shinned them to North
Carolina. There was not a strong de
sire, apparently, on the pnrt of the
prosecutor to prosecute and the jury
returned both defendants not guilty.
Fred Herman, nt First street, was
tried for stealing $11 out of Jacob Kle-
fer's trunk. The only evidence to at
tuch the crime to him was that about
the time the money disappeared Her
man also vanished and was careful to
keep out of sight for three or four days.
The jury found him not guilty.
Ac am Sad us Key anu nis wuo flinry
were tried for beating Peter Chnppet.
All three live in what Is familiarly
known as "Jones' Row," on Price street.
West Side. Some time ago they had a
fight and Mrs. Chappel was beaten. The
case came to court and Sadluskey was
convicted. He got off easy, however,
nnd since then bad blood has existed.
They quarreled over the other case and
Mrs. Sadluskey this time tooK a nana
in to belo her husband. The jury was
out at. adjournment deliberating upon a
verdict.
SEVENTH WARD CASE.
The Inst case of the day was one In
which Martin Lr-ftus Is defendant and
MrB. Bridget Kelley is prosecutrix. At
torney Joseph O Brien and District At
torney John R. Jones represent the
commonwealth and Attorneys K. W.
Thayer and M. J. Walsh are for the
defendnnt.
The Loftuses and Kelleys live in a
double house in the Seventh ward. It
Is owned by the Lackawanna Iron and
Coal company. The rear pnrt Is occu
pied by Loftus. He complained mat
Mrs. Kelley used to take the carpets
out on the line under his window and
beat them until the dust came into his
kitchen and covered the furniture an
inch deep. To stop It he went out on
June 1 lust to sink a few pnstholes and
put down posts to prevent her from
having the line where it was.
He had sunk the first hole and had
gone around the corner of the house
for a post when Mrs. Kelley's lB-yenr-old
boy, Johnny, came along, took the
spade and was filling up tho hole. Lof
tus came upon him unawares and
trouble resulted in which Mrs. Kelley
alleges she was severely bruised with
a shovel In the hands of Loftus. The
defense opened at 4.15 and the case w III
be resumed this morning. It was At
torney Thnyer's lirst .appearance in a
criminal e-ase, and he acquitted him
self with ability nnd credit.
THE NEWS LIBEL CASE.
Dcl'eiidnnl Discharged for I.nck of
Proper Evidence.
John Fllzslmmons and Richard Lit
tle, the supposed editor and corre
spondent respectively of the Sunday
News, were given a hearing before
Alderman Fuller yesterday on the
charge of criminal libel preferred by
Mrs. Harriet 10. Bender, and owing to
the failure of the prosecution to prove
that the defendants had nny c-innet-tlon
with,-i.he Issue of Oct II, in which
the alleged libelous matter appeared,
they were discharged.
A number of witnesses, mining .hem
three newspaper men, were called to
show Dial Fitzslmnions ami I.ii'le wore
associated with the News, but none
of them could stnte for a furt that
such was the case. The prosecution
also failed to show that ihc Su.iday
News of Oct. 11 was issued from the
nlliee of the Sunday News Pu'ilishin:;
company. One wilness, a li 'Wsde.'iier,
named Itelzin, who has a sluud on
Wyoming uvenue. saiil he had pur
chased the marked cony submitted in
c Idence by Mrs. Bender, from the
News printing olllce on Spruce uti'-et
with which it was proven the defend
ants were associated, but on orcus-ex-iimination
he admitted that it was his
boy who bought the papers that day.
nnd ns the boy in question was not
at band, the marked cony went for
naught.
When, the ulilerinan lunl heard 'li
different witnesses lie ruled that he
was not satislled that the prosee urlon
had proven the nrincipul point, that
of connecting the defendants with 'he
Issue of the Sunday News of Oct. ll,
and he would consequently be com
pelled to dismiss the case.
10. C. Newcomb appeared for 'ho de
fense and C. I'. Pitcher for the prose
cution. Mr. Pitcher said Hint a num
ber of his witnesses had remnbied
nway or he would have proved cone-lti-pively
thnt Fllzt-immons nnd Lltt.-
were nssoclnled with the Issue which
contained the alleged libelous mntler.
BOHEMIA AT DAVIS' THEATER.
An Excellent Cnninniiy Give n Very
Entertaining Performance.
Bohemia Is a laud wnore things nre
all fun, all pleasure, nil galty, and the
patrons of Davis' theater hud n big
mouthful of It yesterday when Louis
Unities' great compnny gave one of tho
best shows of the season. First on the
long programme comes a musical skit
depleting life In Bohemia. In this there
Is dancing, singing, Joke cracking and
other comedy work. The specialties all
are good. The two llill Bisters give
a refined dancing turn, and Billy B.
Van and Viva Nobriza slhg songs, etc,
The sentimental song singing of Jan
Mahoney was one ot the best appre
ciated features of the show.
As a curtain "ring down" the whole
company thirty in number present
"The Turkish Bath," an excrutiating
piece In which the x-ray plnys its part.
William B. Watson . was the favorite
of the individual fun makers, but. In
deed, all of the comedians are better
than the ordinary. If Vidu Nobriga
would only save her voice for some
other time the show would be pretty
near llawiess. Today and tomorrow-,
afternoons nnd evenings, the show will
be repeated.
TWO IMPORTANT MEASURES.
Were Among Those Signed by Mayor
. liailey Yesterday.
Among the resolutions signed yester
day by Mayor Bailey was one dlrict
ing the city solic itor to settle for $1,300
the claim of Mathew Hayes for extra
work on the Washburn street sewer.
Th bill has been hanging tire since
1SSS. The original amount wus $025.
This represented the difference In cost
between the pipe sewer called for in
the contract and the brick sewer sub
stituted by order of councils after the
work bad begun. The money to meet
the claim Is to come out of the 1V7
appropriation for judgments and inci
dentals. The1 mayor also signed the resolution
directing an investigation Into the nf
l'ult'S of the Hlri-et commissioner's de
purtmiinl. A resolution providing for
a lire hydrant on the c orner of Hudson
ami Seniva streets was also signed.
WANT IT DISSOLVED.
Seeking to Get Permission for Traction
Company to Finish Washington
Avenue Track.
There was a hearing in chambers
yesterday afternoon before Judge
Arehbabi to have the Injunction here
tofore granted in the- equity suit of
lOinil Schimpff nnd others against the
Valley Passenger Railway company
and the Scrntiton Traction company
dissolved. Major Everett Warren,
Horace JO. Hand and I. II. Burns were
nttorneys for the street railway com
panies, and Hon. John P. Kelley and
J. Alton Davis for the plaintiffs.
When the employes of the Traction
company started a month or so ago to
construct a track on Washington uve
nue on the court house square, Messrs.
Kelley and Davis, representing Cyrus
D. Jones, who owns the building in
which J. W. Guernsey s piano store Is,
applied to the court for an injunction
t restrain the building of the tracks,
on the ground that It was being done
without authority of law.
The defendants proved tn the court
