cert in V. .M. I. A. Hull.
The first of this season's standard
.jouise-cf entertainments by the Young
den's Christian association was given
ast evening by the Mozart Symphony
,'oncert company. The opening concert
A as a success In several respects. The
attendance was large, nearly every scat
In the hall being; occupied. Socially
It was of Importance also many of the
city's elite being present, which argurs
well fur the succeeding entertainments.
The Instrumental music was quite
varied In the character of the selec
tions, the composers chosen from and
the styles of instruments. Perhaps
the composers were too numerous, a
more limited partiality might have
given greater satisfaction.
A novel feature of the concert pro
gramme was the introduction of the
viola d'amour and the viol da Uuuba
instruments of historic Interest, since
their use in the orchestra dutcs from
the seventeenth century and are now
rarely In voeue.
The Roman triumphal trumpet,
which inspired the breasts of many a

contralto soloist. She had two num
bers on the programme, "The Holy

ers of modulation.

An explosion followed and Miss

toot.
Before her clothing could be removed
and the flames extinguished she was
frightfully burned, and lingered In ter
rible' agony for several hours when
death relieved her from further suffer
ing. The funeral will take place from
the home of her parent's residence, on
Throop street, Thursday afternoon.

THIRD NIGHT OF THE
KINSLEY HEARING
Witnesses Called to Discredit Some ot
the Previous Testimony.
TEN WERE HEARD ALTOGETHER

can, of the Associate. Charities,
'Two of ThenjWere Blacksmiths and
the Others Were Itmplores of the
Street Dcpartmeat or Contractor.
Doing Work for That Dcpartmeat.
The Latter Testified Begradginglr
The prosecution has about finished its
testimony in the Kinsley Investigation,
and at the next session it is likely that
the defense will be heard. The evi
dence adduced last night was for the
most part to discredit the testimony
of witnesses at the previous session.
Harry R. Kinsley was first called.
In answer to Mr. Newcomb's question
he stated that he had not brought along
Ills personal account book, which at the
lust Bitting he agreed to produce to
show, who hud worked for him and how
long they worked, in explaining why
he had not carried out his agreement
he said that the book contained per
sonal matters that do not uertaln to
the Investigation, and which he does
not wish to have paraded before the
public. He had, however, refreshed
his memory by consulting this account
book, and was prepared to give more
accurate information on the subjects
Inquired about.
Eugene ltlnehart worked for him one
or two months, beginning August, 1S95.
He also worked for him at various times
later on. Louis Hardenberg. who had
formerly been In his father's employ,
also worked for him about this time.
Witness did not know the present
whereabouts of either of them. Henry
Slebring also worked for him, driving
a cart for several days. Could not tell
just. when this was.
hen Mr. Newcomb reiterated his
question as to why he had changed his
mind about producing his account book,
witness answered very tartly that he
didn't consider thnt any of Mr. New
comb's business. Mr. Newcomb, how
ever, did make It his business, and
elicited the Information that witness
had not consulted his father or any of
his father's attorneys about refusing
to produce the book. As to the account
in Matthews Hrothers feed store, wit
ness would not sweur positively that It
was In his name. It might be in his
father's name, but he always paid the
bills.
The team to which he testified being
the possessor of he reiterated, was giv
en to him by his father. He supposed
the team wan given to him that he
might make some money with it.
Emmet Peet was recalled, and In an
swer to Mr. Newcomb's questions,
stated that he was born in Lynn, Au
burn township, Susquehanna county.
nnd that his father s name was W. H.
Peet. He admitted that A. B. Green
and William F. Ross did all the shoe
ing of the team which he bought from
O. It. Kinsley, and that the work was
always charged to Mr. Kinsley, as the
shoeing of the horses was Included in
the $.12 a month which he paid Mr.
Kinsley for the care and keeping of his
team.
A. B. Green, one of the horse shoers
referred to, was called, and stated that
Harry It. Kinsley had an account with
him a month or two ago. Peet and
Ramsey both had their horseshoeing
charged to C. R. Kinsley. He agreed
to bring his account books to the next
Besslon.
E. M. Ramsey, whose . account on
the street commissioner's pay roll fig
ured no extensively in the proceedings
of the previous seBslon was next sworn.
He testified that he now lives at 107
New York street. He lived in this city
"on and off at different times." The
lust time he came here was In June,
IS!):..
"Where did you come from?"
"Well, you might say, from all over."
"From all over, eh? Then you are a
sort of a Weary Willie?"
I don't know about that. I am what
is called tC transient man."
"Where dhl you live Just prior to
your coming here In June, 1895?"
"I came here from New Jersey, June,
1X95, before Mr. Kinsley was appointed
street commissioner, and I didn't know
anything about It. I didn't have any
correspondence with Mr. Kinsley for
six months before coming here."
Mr. Newcomb also brought out that
Ramsey went to board on Marlon street
one block from the Kinsley residence
when he first came here. He went to
work soon afterward as a foreman of
the sewer gang. He worked during
the months of February and March and
part of April In the present year, driv
ing Harry Kinsley's team. He worked
with his own team after that.
HE BOUGHT A TEAM.
Witness was Idle from December,
ISM. until June, 1895, the date he came
here. He became the owner of a team
a couple of dnys after reaching Scran
ton. Bought It of Mr. Kinsley for :M0,
with the agreement that Mr. Kinsley
would . board and keen It for $32 a
month. At the time the team was at
work on a !rlvate contract cutting
through Electric avenue, near the Oral
school and as it was needed badly there
Mr. Kinsley paid hint S:l a day for the
use of It for a little time. He refused to
tell where he got the money with
which he purchased the team. He
pnld $100 down and the balance In in
stallments. Never took any receipt or
gave any note. Didn't know to whose
account the shoeing was chafged. His
brother. Walter Ramsey, drove the
team for the most part and generally
lind them shod. Supposed it was
chnvged to one of the Kinsleys. His
brother left his employ last April and
since then James Mackle has been
driving for him. The first teum work
he did for the city was In August, 1895.
He did not keep the time of his team.
He explained that his name appeared on
the pay roll in some places ns Edward
Ramsey and in others as E. M. Ram
sey, for the reason that wherever his
team Is given credit the time was kept
by Mr. Kinsley as Mr. Perigo, who
knew him simply as Ed., and where his
name appeared as foreman, he kept the
time himself and the Initials "E. M."
were usea, oecause ne always signed
his name thnt way.
In accounting for being credited with
forty or fifty days a month he ex
plained that he got paid for his team,
which his brother drove and also drew
pay for bossing the sewer gang. Ho
admitted that he talked with Mr. Kins
ley and Mr. Perigo about the case
since the investigation began, but did
not discuss it at any great length.
He also explained that he bought the
team from Mr. Kinsley with the inten
tion of workins for P. S. Page.on a
railway that was being constructed in
Throon. After working there three or
four days he! quit through fear of ar
rest from the borough authorities for
tearing up the streets and coming back
to Mr. Kinsley he asked for and was
given employment.
WALTER RAMSEY SWORN.
Walter Ramsey, a brother of the pre
ceding witness, testified that he came
here July 22, 1895. lie worked for his
brother, Ed., until April 1, 1896, when
he got a team of his own, which he
bought from Mr. Kinsley for $400, pay
ing $200 down and promising to pay
the balance. No receipt was taken, or
note given. Could not tell partly how
much of a balance was left unpaid, hut
could find out by asking his wife, who
had a good head for such things. He
also keeps his team in Mr. Kinsley's
narn, paying t.tz a montn ror care and
keeping, Including shoeing and repairs
to wagon.
William F. Ross, the other black
smith In the case, was called next.
He would) not admit that he told Mr.
Newcomb the other day In his .nop
that .he had only one charge of horse
shoeing against Harry Kinsley, and
that that was made recently. He
would bring his books to the next ses
sion. Mrs. W. B. Puggan, agent or the As
sociated Charities, testified that aha
secured work front Street Commission
er Kinsley (or John Hollands in Jan
uary. 1896.
William P. Peterman, of E20 Marlon
street, was called to throw some light
on the grading of Wyoming avenue,
between Green Ridge and Delaware
street, which was done in October, 1895,
but he had no recollection of it, and
seemed utterly at a loss to know .why
he had been called. "We understood
you knew something about that work,
that's all," said Mr. Newcomb.
Arthur La Bar. of 614 New street,
formerly of 808 Cedar avenue, came
here In November of last year from
Wyalusing, Bradford county. Began
working for the city on May 6, 1896, as
a laborer. Went to work for Harry
Kinsley two or three months ago.
Harry Kinsley pays him.
Jacob lietcher created a laugh by
answering with one breath "717 Stone
avenue. Nineteenth ward. Third dis
trict," when asked where he lived. He
was there to give the committee de
tails and exact details at that. He
worked one vear as a laborer on he
city streets on Sept. G last, went to
work for Harry Kinsley, driving two
carts. This he managed to do by driv
ing one while the other Is being load
ed ut a sewer basin. He could not
account for his being credited with
49 7-1U days in September.
LA BAR COULD NOT SAY.
Arthur La Bar was recalled but his
menpry, he said, was very bad and
he could not fix any particular month
as the time when he began working for
Harry Kinsley.
Mr. Newcomb had no other wit
nesses present, and as Mr. Kinsley's
attorneys were not prepared to go
ahead with their explanations adjourn
ment was made until next Tuesday
evening.
Mr. Burns said that two sessions at
the most would be enough for his side,
after they had a chance to go over the
testimony and pick out the things that
might need explaining.
TRIED TO TAKE HIS LIFE.
Rash Deed of Twenty Ycar0ld Daniel
O'Malley, ol 525 Eynoa Street.
Hacked Himsell with a Knife.
Daniel O'Malley, 20-year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. James D. O'Malley. of
C25 Eynon street, attempted to commifl
suicide at 3 o clock yesterday morning
by slashing his throat with a sharp
knife. If It had not been for the In
terference of Michael Kelley, O'Malley
would In all probability have succeed
ed in taking his life. As it is, he is In
a critical condition at his father's
house, with an Inch and a half gash
In his neck below the right ear. Drink
is the cause of self-assault.
Kelley and the reckless young man
share the same bed at 525 Eynon street.
For the past couple of weeks O'Mal
ley, It Is said, has been drinking heav
ily, and he was in a state If irrespon
sibility when he went to lad late
Monday night. About 3 o'clock In the
morning Keilev heard O'Malley jump
out of bed and In a moment O'Malley
had jabbed himself in the throat with
a knife blade. ,
Before the Becond blow could be
struck Kelley had O'Malley on the floor
and after a struggle the knife was
taken from his grasp. He was placed
in bed and Dr. L. H. Gibbs was called.
The physician announced that the
wound was not necessarily fatal, and
that In ail llklihood O'Malley will re
cover. Theyoung man's parents could
noi, explain why their son had attempt
ed his life. O'Malley worked In the
mines.

War of the Rebellion.
Captain William T. Conner, aged 62
years, died yesterday morning at the

Pennsylvania Volunteers.
At Fredericksburg he was shot

FIRE FROM AN UNKNOWN CAUSE.
Destroyed n House on May Street,
Providence I.nst Night.
At 10.30 last night a fire broke out
in a house on Mary street, Providence,
owned bv David Lewis, of olyphant,
and occupied by Martin Ruane. There
are no water mains In that part of the
city, and nothing could be done to
stay the nrogress of the Humes. The
building and Its contents were soon
reduced to a heap of ashes.
There was no one In the house at
the time the (Ire was discovered, and
the cause of it is a profound mystery.
All of Ruane's household effects were
destroyed. The total loss on building
and furniture is about $1,200 and it
is partially covered by Insurance.
Itodgn Pulley Patents Sustained.
Our readers will recall a spirited
controversy which took place a few
yearn ago between the Scranton Supply
and Machinery comnany and a hard
ware house In this city, relative to the
validity of the patent of the Dodge
Independence Wood Split pulley. We
are advised that a sweeping decision
by Judge Sage, of the t'nlted States
Circuit court at Cincinnati, has Just
been handed down" broadly sustaining
the Dodge and Phillion patent, cover
ing Interchangeable bushing system
and compression fastening. As a
large number of wood split pulleys
are In use in this neighborhood this
decision will, no doubt, prove Inter
esting to many of our readers.

EIGHT MEN BURNED
IN STORRS' SHAFT
Terrific Explosion ol Qjs la the Bottom
Vein.
TWO OF THE MEN EXPECTED TO DIE
A Loaded Car of Coal Was Smashed
as If II Were Hade of Frail Material.
Doors and Cros.-Cot Walls Blown
DowaThomas P. Williams, of
Ilolli.ter Avenue, and His Laborer,
a Prlceburg Hungarian, Are the
Two Worst Darned.
Eight men were burned in an ex
plosion of gas, two of them so se
riously that the chances for their re
covery are slight, at 12.45 yesterday
afternoon In Storrs' shaft. No. 1, of
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
em, In Priceburs. The names of the
men and other facts connected with
them are as follows:
THOMAS P. WILLIAMS, of Holll.ter
avenue, this city, miner, 30 years old.
wife ami two children; head arms,
back and chest terribly burned: will
die.
JOHN PIMTCl'. of Prlceburg, laborer for
Williams, 2 years old. unmarried 1.
face and arms roasted; not expected

family; lace and hands burned, will

old, son of the former, tracklayer's
helper: unmarried: face and hands
burned- will recover.

dren; face and arms burned; will re

years old, miner; widower with no
family; face and hands severely

children, face and JjiiiUs badly
burned.
JOHN SOLI XS KEY, of Prlceburg, 7
years old, Polish, laborer for Orinlu;
unmarried; face ami hands slightly
burned; will recover.
A TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.
That the eight were not roasted to
death is regarded as a mystery. The
explosion was of such dimensions
that it smashed a loaded car into small
fragments and scattered the coal In It
with the speed of the wind; It broke
down three doors across the gangway
rokd and mude short work of them; it
swept the rock walls out of five cross
cuts Just as If they had never been
built; and hundreds of feet away It
knocked down men working in the
same vein, while in the Diamond vein,
which is 64 feet above, the shock was
very plainly felt.
Thomas Williams, the first named
of the elsht, and the one who was the
worst burned sot off the gas. He went
after a tie or a piece of timber front
his own chamber into an old working
adjoining and isnltetl a large body of
gas which had accumulated by reason
of some one's leaving a door open and
thereby disarranging the air current.
H happened in the 14-foot vein which
Is the lowest vein, being worked. The
tier of coal In this vein Is separated
into two slips, and at some points they
are separated 40 feet, and then again
they run together In one large vein.
Where they separate one slip is about
8 feet thick, and the other 6. About
900 feet from the foot of the shaft
these slips are separated so fnr that
a tunnel Is being driven from the top
to the bottom slip. It was along this
tunnel that the explosion occurred.
CARSON IS FOREMAN.
Thomas Carson, of Washburn street,
Is foreman of the shaft, and he has
had many years' experience In that
line. Moreover, he Is regarded as one
of the most careful as well as com
petent foremen In the company's em
ploy. The 14-foot vein gives tiff a large
volume of gas, but the workings are
provided with ventilating apparatus
sufficient to maintain a strong air cur
rent. I'nder ordinary circumstances it was
safe for Williams to leave his chamber
and go where he did for the piece of
timber. A Tie reporter saw Mine
Inspector Edward Roderick, who went
to the shaft and examined the place
after the accident, and Mr. Roderick
said that he believed some one must
have left a door along the gangway
open, and that this broke the air cur
rent and allowed the gas to accumu
late. When Mr. Roderick was in the mine,
he said he found the air current all
right, and no bus in the place. Mr.
Curson, of course, nnd got a gang of
men together and had by that time re
built all that had been town down by
the explosion.
Mr. Carson was seen at his home on
Washburn street In the evening, and
he was of the same opinion as the mine
Inspector. He had been down in the
14-foot vein In the Diamond vein,
which Is sixty-four feet above. The
fire boss was with him and they both
remarked that the r.as had gone off
down below. As quickly as Mr. Car
son could get to the land and get down
to the other vein he went, and when he
got to the foot of the shaft, Williams
was there, after being brought out.
The foreman gave orders to have the
burned men removed as soon as possi
ble; nnd then he set to Work to rebuild
the doors and cross cuts that had been
blown down.
WILLIAM3 SET IT OFF.
There Is no doubt that it was Will
iams who set off the gas, for as soon
as he stepped from his own chamber
Into the old working, off it went. He
being right on the spot where It was
ignited, it was reasonable that he
thould he burned the worst. His la
borer not far away came next In de
gree; and Orinka and his laborer In the
next chamber were the next to sulTer
in proportion. The two Smiths being j
tracklayers, they were at work on the I
gangway road, and Horrick and Jack- I
son hnving chainbeis farther In nnd I
being en their way out along the gang
way road, the escaped the fiercest part
of the fire, but nevertheless were seri
ously burned.
Inspector Roderick did not n nke a
complete examination of the workings
yesterday. He will do that today. Yes
terday he went through with Superin
tendent Thomas Phillips and saw that
the place was HHfe for operation today.
The one man who can settle all doubt
ns to how the gas became Ignited Is
Williams. Ho is in loo serlou3 a con
dition to be troubled with questioning.
But the most Important part of the In
vestigation Is to find out for sure what
caused the gas to accumulate.
Every man working In the 14-foot
vein was violently thrown down by the
force of the explosion. The damage to
the doors nnd cross tuts was confined
to the section of the mine In which the
tunnel Is being driven.
ARE BEYOND ASSISTANCE.
The ambulances of the company were
brought into requisition and th men
were taken to their respective homes.
Williams nnd Plmtcu are thought to be
beyond medical skill.
Dr. Lloyd, of North Main avenUe.
Providence, is attending Williams. Drs.
lillhelmer and Kennedy, of Prlceburg,
are attending the other six. Dr. Bil
helmer said last night thnt there Is no
doubt about the recovery of all of tho
Prlceburg men but Plmtcu.

Removed to the Hillside Home.
The case of William Warner, the In

daily grown more violent. He made a
complete wreck of the Interior of his
cell, having torn down its two iron
bunks and torn out Its iron cltMiet,

he pounded upon the cell's steel sides
and yelled almost constantly. When
not engaged in making a din he was
climbing about the cage-like walls and
roof of the apartment.
