HEARING ABOUT
MOOSIC CROSSING
Took Place Yesterday Morning Before
Judge Qunslcr.

It Is Maintained by tlio Scrnnton

That Thuy lluvo tlio Hlalit to
Tnko Cum but Not Passengers (Ivor
tlio Trnoks of the Dclnwnro nnil
Hudson Company nt Wyoming
Strcot, AIooslo.
Tli'ero was a hcarinir before Judge
Gunster yesterdny morning In the case
of tho Delaware and Hudson Canal
company ngnlnst the Scrnnton nnd
Pittston Traction company with refer
ence to the grade crossing at Mooslc.
Arsuments on tho part of tho Canal
company wore made by ex-Judge W. H.
Jesstip and ex-City Solicitor Jumes H.
Torrey. Ex-Attorney General II. W.
Palmer, ex-Ltcutenant Governor L. A.
Watres, and cx-Conprressman Lemuel
Amerman appeared for the Traction
company.
Two questions wero argued, tho right
of the Delaware and Hudson company
to withdraw a petition presented to
court several weeks ago and the right
of tho Traction company to keep the
crossing at Wyoming street In the posi
tion that It was prior to the decision of
tho supreme court.
That decision forbade the Traction
company to carry pnssengcrs over the
crossing. They stopped doing so but
continued to run their disabled cars
and their wreck car over the crossing.
1 claiming they had a right to do so. The
Delaware and Hudson company pre
sented a petition to the court request
ing that the Traction company be com
pelled to take out their crossing at
"Wyoming street and tho matter was set
down for an argument on July 30. On
that day the Delaware and Hudson
company's workmen took the crossing
out Ijy force.
WANTED TO WITHDRAW IT.
A few days later they asked permis
sion to withdraw their petition and ob
jection was entered by tho attorneys of
tho Traction company on the ground
that the matter having been referred to
court, the rlgh't to keep the crossing
there must be determined by court and
the Delaware and Hudson company
could not determine the matter for It
self and take out tho track without per
mission. In their arguments the attorneys for
the Delaware and Hudson company
said that since the supremo court
granted an Injunction to prevent tho
carrying of passengers that decision
carried with It the right to take up the
tracks.
On the part of the Traction company
It was maintained that the injunction
simply prevented the carrying of pas
sengers which they are not now doing.
They had a right to keep tho crossing In
place to enable them to get their dis
abled cars to the shops in this city and
to get their wreck cars to wrecks that
may occur south of that crossing. It
was held that tho company had tho
same rlgh't to uso the public highway
that any one has to drive a vehicle of
any kind over It.
CONSENT OBTAINED.
Since the decision ot the supreme
court was handed down thev had ob
tained the consent of the supervisors ot
Lackawanna township to use the cross
ing and allow their track to remain on
the highway for tho purposes set forth.
Since the crossing was taken out they
had been compelled to haul their cars
across the tracks of the Delaware and
Hudson company which was greater In
convenience and annoyance to every
body concerned than If tho crossing
had been allowed to remain In place.
As the Delaware and Hudson company
took the track out before the court
had decided tho matter they should
be compelled to put It back.
Judge Gunster after listening to tho
arguments took the papers in tho case.
BRITISH AND AMERICAN MINING.
Sonic Figures ns to the Hclntivo Num
ber or Accidunts.
In 1S90 the tonnage produced per
person employed was 337.1 in Great
Britain; 693.9 In the bituminous regions
of Pennsylvania and 531 in Illinois.
These figures Bhow a remarkable
state of affairs, says Seward's Journal,
American miners produce 70 per cent,
more coal per man, and the fataltlcs
are 70 per cent, greater.
Does this high production per em
ploye have any effect on the death rate
per 1,000 employes? Tho slmillailty of
the figures makes It appear so. It looks
as If American miners took proportion
ately greater risks to produce a pro
portionately greater amount of coal.
This view Is confirmed by statements
repeatedly mado by mlno Inspectors
that recklessness on the part of the
American miners Is responsible for
many accidents. The fatalities duo to
falls of roof, coal, slate, etc., In Great
Britain were at the rate of .761. per
1,000 employes. In Pennsylvania at
the rato of 1.3S1 per 1,000, and In Illin
ois 1,106. In other words nearly 73
per cent, more men are killed per 1,000
In American mines from falls of roof,
coal, slate, etc., than in the British
mines. This cannot bo a coincidence.
There Is n reason for It. Experience
bus proved, that ncldents from falls of
roof, coal, slate, etc., are the class In
which recklessness has been most often
to blame.
In Great Britain 01 2-10 per cent, of
all fatalities wore duo to thl3 cause. In
Pennsylvania nnd Illinois G9 9-10 per
cent, of tho accidents were due to falls
of rock, coal, slate, etc. That is, there
ft ere proportionately 10 0-10 per cent,
more such fatal" accidonts In Pennsyl
vania and Illinois than in Great Brit
ain. A furth'er analysis nnd compari
son of the accidents duo to other caus
es shows a proportionate Increase in
American mines as compared with Brit
ish mines. We cannot chargo this dis
parity to Ijrnoranco on tho part of
American miners, for such a charge
cannot be borno out by facts, Ameri
can miners as a class aro an Intelligent
a3 those of Great Britain, and if there
is any difference In tho bafety condi
tions of the mines tho difference Is in
favor of tho American miners. It is
therefore evident that American mln
rs are not as careful of themselves as
their British brethren. Low wages and
irregular work duo to dullness In the
American coal trade, and tho conse
quent desire of the minors to earn In
creased pay by sending out more coal
may bo urged as a reason for tho lar
ger proportionate number of fatalities,
but the same state of affairs existed
whon the American coal trade was
good. Therefore, the cause can only
lw charged to recltlosaness, which may
be due to our American desire to 'get
there resardlen of cost. Is not the
cost greater thnn the results achiev
ed? Wllkes-Barro nec6rd.
TAYLOR BOY KIDNAPPED.
Three Trumps Iudnccd Htm toLcnvo
Homo Vexturduy.
A boy, abducted from Taylor yester
day morning, was arrested with threo
tramps at Pittston Junction last night.
The lad Is 13 years old and a son ot
Scott Hendershot.
While loitering about the Jersey Cen
tral depot at Taylor young Hendershot
was approached "by the tramps who
painted the life of a hobo in enticing
colors and Induced the little fellow to
becomo one of them. Tho four theni
made their way to Pittston Junction on
a freight train.
At the latter place tho presence of the
little fellow with his threo disreputable
looking companions excited the sus
picion of Pittston ofllcers and tho ar
rests followed. The boy revealed his
identity and was anxious to be taken
home.
GOT THINGS MIXKI).
Ono of tlio Lnte I'.ugcno Flolds
Characteristic Stories.
As a rule, tho power of speech be
gins to exhibit Itself In tho child at tho
ago of 1 year. Sometimes tho child Is
able to enunciate certain words at an
earlier age, but we do not recall hav
ing met elsewhore with an incident of
precocity so remorkable as that nar
rated by Mrs. William II. Crane, wdfe
of the famous comedian. "When our
youngest son, Joe, was 3 months old,"
says Mrs. Crane, "he was seized with
an Illness which threatened to develop
Into meningitis. I was very much
alarmed and telegraphed for Mr. Crane
who happened to bo playing nn
engagement In Boston. He lUino
by first train to Cohasset, bringing
with him Dr. Sequard, ono of the most
famous practitioners In New England.
A consultation was held at the baby's
cradle-side, and Dr. Sequard approved
of tho general course of treatment pre
scribed by our family physician.
"'But is there nothing more you can
do?" I asked.
'"Absolutely nothing,' said tho doc
tor. "At that moment the baby opened
his eyes, looked up and said 'absolute
ly nothing.'"
This Interesting Incident of precocity
recalls an anecdote which is told of
Edward S. WHIard, the Impressive
young actor from London. He was
one of a merry company dining at our
Hotel ntchelieu, and during the festivi
ties Sol Smith Russell turned to Wll
lard and asked: 'By tho way, old man,
speaking of pronunciation, how do
you pronounce 'c-a-s-t-o-r-l-a?"
"Why, castorla, of course," answered
Wlllard.
"Do you. Indeed?" said Sol. with a
quiet chuckle. "The doctors pronounce
It harmless."
Three or four days later Wlllard met
Russell at the Virginia hotel and said:
"Look here, old man, I was at a lunch
eon In Prairie avenue yesterday and I
tried your Joke on them, and, do you
know, they didn't see it at all not one
of them cracked a smile!"
"What Joke you mean?" asked Rus
sell. "Why, there being a lull In the merri
ment," says Wlllard, "I ventured to
ask the company 'How do you Chl
cagoans pronounce s-a-p-o-l-l-o?' says
I. With amazing promptness, they
all answered 'sapollo,' Just as I wanted
them to, by Jove! And then I said,
'No, you are wrong, says I; 'your doc
tors pionounco It harmless, don't you
know!" I expected them all to roarwlth
merriment, but not one of them saw
the Joke, and I was quite embarrassed
till an elderly party next to me asked
me would I like a little more salt on
my salad.
ACTOR O'NIULVS START.
How He Cmno to I'lny tho Count of
.Monte Crlsto.
How James O'Neill came to play
"Monte Crlsto" Is an interesting story.
About ten years ago John Stetson, tho
former well known manager, presided
over the destinies of Booth's theatre
in New Tork cltj. Tho erratic John
conceived the Idea, which afterwards
proved to be not too erratic, of produc-'
ing threo famous dramas on an elab
orate scale. The plays selected wero
"The Corslcan Brothers," "Tho Three
Guardsmen" nnd "Monte Crlsto,"
Charles Thornr, at that time probably
the ideal of the metropolitan ladles as
a romantic actor, was chosen by Stet
son and August Pltou, then tho busi
ness manager, to play the leading
parts. "The Corslcan Brothers" was
put on first and both Mr. Thorno and
the piece scored an immense success.
On the third night, Mr. Thome was
suddenly taken 111 and shortly after
ward It was decided to produce "Monte
Crlsto."
But here was a dilemma. Who could
play Edmond Dantes? Mr. Stetson
was really at his wits end trying to
solve the problem, until Mr. Pltou sug
gested ths name of Mr. O'Neill at that
tlmo starring In "An American King."
However, something had to be done,
so Stetson took tho next train to Al
bany where O'Neill was playing, and
made him a bold proposal to abandon
his tour nnd go back to New Tork with
hlin to play Edmond Dantes. O'Neill
was willing so far as ho was concern
ed, but held back his answer as his
conscience would not allow him to
dlschnrge his company at so short a
notice. Stetson, however. Insisted up
on tho acceptance ot his proposition,
and was finally compelled to grant Mr.
O'Neill his wish, which was that ho
should engage Mr. O'Neill's whole com
pany for "Monte Crlsto." This was
done nnd a little over a week after,
"Monte Crlsto" received Its New York
baptism. Mr. O'Neill was not very
sure of his lines on tho first night and
tlje morning after the New York papers
came out with some strong "roasts."
Tho public, however, disagreed with
the critics and proved its faith In
O'Neill by crowding Booth's theatre
every night for three months.

BIG VOICKN IN CONGRESS.
Some- Groat Stutosmou Who Also Hml
Great Vooul Powers.
Prom ths Washington Post
There is always somo ono member
of tho house who possesses a voice far
superior in depth and. volumo to that
of any of the other members, whloh
in Itself serves to give the member
possessing it a certain reputation. In
tho present house this voice is possess
ed by Marriott Broslus, ot tho Tenth
Pennsylvania district. Mr. Broslus has
a faculty ot talking bo loud at times
that the people in the galleries can
not distinguish what he says. An
other Pannsylvanlan who possessed a
Blmllar powerful voice was the late W.
D. Kelley, commonly known as "Pig
Iron" Kelley. In his day ho held the
voice record against all comers until
Charles II. Van Wyck, of New York,
who was afterward a. senator from Ne
braska, appeared on the scene. His
voice was even greater than that of Mr.
Kelley. Back in tho old days the
greatest voice known to congress was
that of the late William Allen, of
Ohio, whose statue now stands In Stat
uary Hall at tho capltol. It Is told of
Mr. Allen when ho was in the house
before the days of railroads that one
of -his colleagues left for his home
In Ohio. The day after he was gone
Allen was lamenting the fact that he
had taken his departuro so soon, as
he wanted to consult him about some
measure which had come up suddenly.
"That needn't trouble you, Allen," said
a fellow member. "He has not got
across the Alleghanles yet. Just go
out on the balcony and call him back."
The greatest voice of which there Is
any record or tradition about congress
was possessed by George G. Symes, of
Colorado. Symes, who was a good
deal of a character, Anally committed
suicide. He was an Ohlolan by birth,
but served in the Union army through
the war in a Wisconsin regiment, en
tering as a private and coming out a
colonel. Most of hla life after the war
was spent in the west In the Rocky
mountain region. From 1874 he made
his "home in Denver, Colo. He vas n
lawyer by profession and an orator
noted for his great voice. Compared
with it the bellow of "the Bull of
Basham" was a gentle murmur. It
was a deep, heavy bass, proceeding
seemingly from cavernous depths.
Asked one day about the reputation his
voice had given him, he replied:
"Well, I'll tell you about it," and tho
words rolled out of his deepest, heavi
est bass. "You see I was out cam
paigning. I was addressing a Repub
lican audience at Sllverton. Over at
Orovllle, twenty miles' distant, tho
Democrats wero holding a meeting.
Along about 9 o'clock there came up one
of tho awful storms which occur In
that mountain country. The wind
howled like a million Mevils. It was
especially bad at Orovllle. Tho people
showed signs of alarm, and acted as if
they wanted to break up the meet
ing nnd leave the hall. The chairman,
becoming anlxous, arose to reassure
them. 'Ladles and gentlemen he said,
'do not be alarmed. There is a Re
publican meeting over at Sllverton,
and George Symes Is addressing It.
He has Just como to that portion of his
speech where ho denounces the Mllln
tariff bill, and the noise you hear is the
indistinct rumbling of his voice.' '
