Benjamin II. Throop, M. D., SG years
of obc died Saturday morning at his
homo on Wyoming nvenue uftcr tin
Illness of several weeks. He Is thought
DR. B. H.
to have been at the time of his death
tho oldest Scrantonlan In point of
residence. He was for many years one
of the most conspicuous figures In tho
coal, Iron and electric Interests of
Northeastern Pennsylvania and
amassed a large foitune, estimated
at from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 In value.
Five weeks ago Dr. Throop buffered
from the effects of a fall In his sleep
ing room but partially recovered In a
few days from Its effect, and was at his
office for a day attending to business
as usual. Ho then became seriously
111 and was confined to his bed until
he died. During his Illness he was
conscious only a part of the time, rec
ognizing only his wife and his rector,
Rev. Rogers Israel, of St. Luke's
Episcopal church. The end came
peacefully and gradually and had been
hourly expected for several days.
Dr. Throop Is survived by a wife,
a daughter, Mrs. Mary Phelps, widow
of Horace B. Phelps and who resided
with her parents, and one grandson, a
son of the late George S. Throop.
The funeral will be held in St. Luke's
Episcopal church, of which Dr. Throop
was a vestryman, tomorrow afternoon.
Beginning at 1:45 o'clock the remains
will be exposed to view In the church
and at 3 o'clock tho funeral service
will begin. Rev. Rogers Israel and
probably the Rt. Rev. Nelson S. Rul
ison, bishop of the Central Pennsyl
vania diocese of the Episcopal church,
will ofllciate.
ACTION OF VESTRY.
The vestry of St. Luke's church met
yesterday and adopted the following
minute In memory of Dr. Throop:
It Is with tho deepest sene of sorrow
that tho rectai, church wardens and ves
trymen of Saint Luke's church, .Scran
ton, have lost from their midst Dr. Ben
jamin H. Throop, who, on June 20, lt'J",
entered Into rest. For so many years
tho senior member not only In yearn,
but length of strvlec, their friends and
fellow vestryman, they wIH sadly miss
his largo hearted wisdom, his faithful
devotion and his genial generosity; un.l
they would refold here upon their min
utes their trlbuto of grateful remem
brance of affection and respect.
From the earliest days of the life of
this parish and when it was but a mission
In a comparative wilderness to the lust
day of his long and eventful lire ho had
be.Tj Its- talthful parishioner and Its
loynl supporti-r. He was one of the llttls
band of worshippers whose proftered sup
poit and Eld made tho establishment of
Saint Luke's chuich In Scranton In 1S&1
a pobslLlllly. For nearly fifty years ho
hns served as u vestryman of the pailsh.
During all thoso years hu has given to Its
affairs the btnctlt of his unstinted In
terest, his practical tagaclty and his
largo executive abilities. In seasons of
tlnanclul dlsticss he has been our refuge,
a never falling help In time of need. In
personal character he was simple, brave,
honest ana loyally true, ueneatn nis
plalnners of tpeech thero was the gentlest
of heatts, and behind his shrewd direct
ness thoio was the mo3t genial smile. He
was practical wtlh strong afteotlous, ho
was forceful with quick sympathy. He
was aggressive with a strange modesty.
Ho had strong convictions with a largo
tolerance.
This Is not the place to note the Impress
of his life upon this city he did so much to
build, or to record his services to tho
community at large. His largo hearted
charity, his philanthropy, his profes
sional work are known of all men. Ho
was one of tho makers of Scranton.
With a deep und slmplo faith In tho
verities of the Christian life ho boro tho
burdens and sorrows which camo to him
with patience and with u brightness full
of hope. It was given to him to llvo a
long life full of good deeds. He now
rests from his labors. His memory will
endure ns long as this parish lives and
over be held In the most affectionate re
gal d by all Its people.
We extend to his wife and family our
lieai tfeit sympathy In this sad hour. May
tho God of all comfort lift up His counte
nance upon them and give them peace.

THE OLDEST PIONEER.
With Dr. Throop's death there dis
appears almost the lust living human
evidence of the early Scranton, the
Scranton that was onco a scarce half
dozen of houses known ns Slocum
Hollow and which nestled In the midst
of larger settlements known as tho
North End, South Side and West Sldo
sections of tho city which rnnks thirty
fifth among the cities of the United
States. Quito naturally there runs a
course of unusual Interest in the life
of the pioneer who kept pace with this
remarkable commercial and municipal
development.
Ho was born November 9, 1811, at Ox-
I ford, Chenango county, N. Y of par-
ents who camo there from Connecticut
In 1S00. His early boyhood was the
same as that of most boys of those
sturdy times. He entered tho omcc of
a locnl physician, Perez Packer, In 1829,
and graduated with high honors from
Fairfield medical college, New York
city, at tho ago of 21. He located at
Honesdale In February, 1832, at Oswego,
N. Y In 1835; at New 'ork city In 1836,
and four years later In Providence, now
the northern section of Scranton- In
1845 he moved to' tho now central part
of Scranton. In thoso days there were
but a few hundred souls within a ra
dius of several miles of the present
city.
Dr. Throop was In thoso early days
proportionately ns progressive and
successful n3 he wob In later years. He
established the first milk route, the
first livery stable, the first railroad
package express, and was tho first
postmaster. He originated the now
large Scranton Gas and Water com
pany and was financially Interested In
the opening and leasing of coal mines
and Iron works. He was closely nsso-
THROOP.
elated then with George W. and Selden
Scranton, Sanford Grant and other
prominent business men of the times.
His medical practice at the time was
of pioportions which the physician of
today would not care to undertake.
In 1853 Dr. Tluoop began to devote all
his money making talent to the pur
chase and sale of coal lands. His
Judgment was seldom at fault, fortune
smiled on him and he began to amass
the foundation of the present Throop
fortune. While he bought and sold
many thousand acres, he retained and
was benefitted by royalties from large
holdings.
ADVOCATED NEW COUNTY.
For years he advocated the partition
of Luzerne county and spent several
winters at Harrisburg lobbying to that
end and In 1877 saw his wishes gratified
by the creation of the present county
of Lackawanna.
In 1S61 Dr. Throop was the first sur
geon In old Luzerne county to respond
to the call for volunteers. He was
commissioned surgeon of the Eighth
Pennsylvania volunteers by Governor
Curtln, and was one of the first to or
ganize and found a military field hos
pital In the rebellion. He left home to
Join the regiment and expected to be
absent for but a few days, but the
campaign extended to four months.
Ho returned home only to be called
upon for surgeon of the Onj Hundred
and Thirty-seventh, Colonel Oakford's
command, at Anttetam. As volunteer
surgeon he followed the army to Har
per's Ferry, but being attacked by
fever and exhaustion he was forceu to
return home.
Dr. Throop did not practice medicine
after the war, but demoted his whole
time to caring for his business Inter
ests, which had grown to a remark
able extent.
His connection with St. Luke's
church Is revealed in the minutes,
which appears In the foregoing, but
he was also active In aiding and help
ing support churches of other denomin
ations. A philanthropy known to but
few, was his personal maintenance of
tho Lackawanna hospital or a long
period. Through his efforts the hospi
tal was located here, but he was
obliged to pay Its expenses in order to
demonstrate its usefulness until the
state and a few well-to-do citizens
came to his aid.
Dr. Throop was appointed a trustee
of the Danville Asylum for the Insane
In 1872 and held the trust up to his
death, he having been reappointed by
each succeeding governor.
He was married on Jan. 19, 1842, to
Harriet F. McKInney, of Ellington,
Conn., who survives him. He was an
enthusiastic Odd Fellow, a member of
Lackawanna lodge, and it was large
ly through such effort as his that Odd
Fellows' hall, on "Wyoming avenue,
was erected.

IT COSTS MONEY
TO HANDLE COAL
Items that Arc Seldom Considered When
Prices Arc Spoken Of.
SOME OP THE EXPENSES INCURRED
I'rom tho Moment tho Conl Is lie
eclved nt Tldowntcr Until It Is De
livered Into tho Consumers' Cellars
Tlicro Is nil liver Increasing Hilt of
L"xpcnsc--ri(in for Minimizing Cost
of Handling tho lllnck Dlntnomls.
Tho cost of handling anthracite coal
Is discussed In an interesting way In
one of the letters Issued this month
by the Anthracite Coal Operators' as
sociation. It says:
"From time to time attention has
been called In these letters to the wide
difference between the f. o. b. price for
anthracite coal and that which the
consumer of domestic sizes Is compelled
to pay. There Is a margin of seventy
five cents to one dollar and twenty-live
cents which must be accounted for be
tween the shipping docks and consum
er's house, and while a considerable
part of such difference consists of the
actunl cost of handling, this does not
by any means Imply that such costs
are proper ones.
"There were, nccordlnc to tho busi
ness directory of 1890, some 4S0 retail
coal merchants In Now York City
alone, and it is known that a part of
the retail trade of the city Is sup
plied by dealers In Brooklyn, Jersey
City, and Hoboken. Besides these
dealers there were, according to reports
made to the Colliery Guardian, some
yeirs ago, n"bout 4,300 grocers and 1,500
pi-ddlers who handle small quantities
of coal. No reliable figures are at
present .obtainable to show tho total
domestic tonnage handled. It Is vari
ously estimated as from 2,000,000 to
3,500,000 annually, and of this about
1,000,000 tons are handled by the gro
cers and coal peddlers.
COST INCREASES.
"From the moment this coal is re
ceived on boats nt Perth Amboy, Ho
boken, or any tidewater point, until
It Is delivered Into tho consumers' cel
lar, there Is a constantly Increasing ex
pense In handling. The retail dealer
whose coal yard is located on a wharf,
and who has improved appliances for
handling the coal from boats to the
pockets ready for delivery Into wagons,
pays 20 cents lighterage from Perth
Amboy and 5 cents from Hoboken.
To unload costs 8 cents. If he dis
charges the boat and delivers the coal
on the ground, and then has to again
deliver into the pockets, there is about
15 cents more. Before delivery to the
consumer the coal is screened and
from three to five per cent, of small
coal and dust Is separated. The deal
er whoso coal yard Is some distance
from the water front must receive his
coal on a public wharf and unload by
hand or horse power. This cost about
15 cnts per ton. Then the haul to the
yard costs from 15 cents to 30 cents,
depending on the distance and size of
the wagons used. In case of either
yard It will cost from 20 cents to 40
cents to cart the coal to the consum
er's house.
"This shows handling expenses of
from 70 cents to $1.25 per ton. If stove
coal costs these dealers S4 per ton of
2,240 pounds f.o.b. tidewater, and is
delivered to the consumer for $5 per
ton of 2,000 pounds, there Is a margin
of from 15 cents to 70 cents, out of
which must be paid rentals, repairs,
clerical expenses and profits. The en
tire system Is radically wrong. Under
It, the costs already given are per
fectly legitimate, but if tfiis tonnage
was handled by a small number of
yards, each equipped with Improve
ments for reducing the costs of hand
ling and delivering, not only would
these expenses be largely reduced, but
those controlling such yards would re
quire a far smaller margin per ton
to pay their rentals, office expenses
and a fair profit for their Investment
and labor.
CUTTING DOWN EXPENSES.
"One Instance of this Is at a yard to
which coal cars are carried In floats
from Perth Amboy and other points,
drawn above the pockets and dumped.
The total expense, Including towing, Is
stated at less than 20 cents per ton.
With such a plant, handling about
300,000 tons per annum, all other ex
penses, Including Interest on the In
vestment, would be reduced to a mini
mum. A careful estimate shows that
the entire cost can be kept well within
50 cents a ton, which would be a sav
ing of 30 cents to 75 cents from the aver
age cost at the present time. ,
"It cannot be doubted that such a
venture could be made profitable to its
owners while at the same time largely
reduced the cost to the public. Ten
yards of this character, suitably lo
cated, could supply the entire retail
trade of New York city, as well as a
large part of the supply required for
steam making purposes. In almost
every branch of business, the more par
ticularly In the manufacturing Indus
tries, a constant effort is being made to
further economy In tho production and
distribution of tho products. In the min
ing of anthracite, through Improved
methods, new machlery and in many
ways the operators have endeavored to
overcome the increasing difficulties
which have to be contended against In
deeper mining; In the transportation of
the coal to market there has been re
ductions in cost through Improved rail
road servico and equipment, but in tho
final handling to the consumers, with
few exceptions, the same crude and ex
pensive methods are used that wero
followed twenty years ngo."
V0UNQ WOMAN'S SAD PLIGHT.
Thousands ofMilns Ironi Her Friends
Without it Homo or. Honey.
Annetta Wlschlnskl, a comely young
Polish woman, told a tad story at po
lice headquarters Saturday. Eighteen
months ngo Bhe left her comfortable
home at Nantlcoke to become the wife
of John Wlschlnskl, who wa3 her lov
er in their native land.
Before they had been married many
months Wlschlnskl began to abuse
her and last January, after giving her
a brutal beating, deserted her entire
ly. Her condition precluded tho pos
sibility of her working and sho was
forced to becomo a charge on the
Wllkes-Barro poor district. After tho
birth of her child she determined to
have It placed In some charitable In
stitution, and then seek to earn her
living as a, domestic, preferring to
light against the world single-handed
and alone irv this strange land than
to distress her parents in the old coun
try with the story of her unfortu
nate experiences.
Sho came to this city Saturday with
a view of Indenturing her child to St.
Joseph's Foundling Home, but as no
children are being received 'there just
at present an account of tho preval-
ence of diphtheria among tho Inmates,
sho had to retrace her steps. "Weary
and faint and nlmost discouraged she
went to the pollco station and a3kcd
for succor.
As luck would have it a director of
tho poor of Wllkes-Iiarro was In the
eergeant's office when sho arrived, and
after hearing her story ho agreed to
take her back to Wllkcs-Barrc and seo
that sho was cared for.
