Mlitit .Miss Atcn Has to Say About llio Cnse--Allcgcs Thnt Sho He enmc Engaged to Sherwin in May, 181)0. Miss Fsther M Atcn, better known to her filends as Miss Hetty, and a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Atcn, of 2015 Edna nvenuc, has begun a breach of promise action against Rob ert Shorn In, of Patorson, N. J., for meily of this city. She nsk3 damages In the sum of $5,000. Sherwin was nr lested on a capias and lodged In Jail In default ot ball. Ho has secured an attorney and will endenvor to got out on a writ of lmben corpus. Tho vounff woman Is a blonde and decidedly piettv. When Peon yester day by n Tilbunc reporter she stated emphntically her Intention of cinrylng tho suit to its bitter end. Sho has retained Vosburjr & Dawson. On Thursdav, Nov. 4, the young man was at rested In Paterson and gave eerurlty in tho sum of $500 before Supreme coutt Commissioner Robert I. Hopper In that city. This was tho preliminary step In the breach of promise suit. Young Sherwin Is a son of Mr. nnd Mrs. John Sherwin, of C02 Ea-t Mar Uvt street. Ho was employed for sev eral years as n drutr clerk In Charles Hcnwood's pharmacy, North Scranton. The courtship of the young people was begun nearly four years ago and con tinued up to June last. The course of lovc.w nether true or not, ran smoothly. Tl'o young man's attention to their daughter was well known by MI"s Atcn's parents and when In May, 1S00, It Is alleged, he proposed mairlage ho was accepted by tho daughter nnd ap proved of bv tho parents. WEXT TO PHILADELPHIA. Meanwhile, during tho time succeed ing tho proposal, Mr. Sheiwln went to Philadelphia and took a com so In the Vniersliy of Penn.silanla pharmacy derailment. Letteis passed between them. Upon his return here. Mi. Sher w In was engnged for a short time In a "West Scianton phaunacv. Ml'.s Aten at that time was a resident of Hyde Puik. Rome time last fall, a position was offered Mr. Sheiuin at Loveland's pharmacy, In Patcison, N. J., which ho nccepted. In the latter pai t of June Miss Aten became Hi. Her mother went to Paterson In Julv and called upon Mr. Sherwin and spoke of her daughter's mental condition, because ho did not keep his pioml&e to mairy her. Mr. Sherwin lelteiated his desire of doing ns he had prom ised nnd immediately consented to come on to Scranton with Mts. Aten. Mrs. Aten did not consider this nec essary and he agioed to come later. On or about Sept. 1 ho appealed and then, as Miss Aten states, demurred of ever keeping his promise. It was a promise given, which could not be kept, Is what Miss Aten sajs he told her. After ho letumed to Patei.son no woul carao fioni him and about Sept. 14 Mrs. Aten and her daughter went theie and saw him ngain. They claim that Sheiwln giossly Insulted them. Ho stated that he had not come up before Sept. 1, because aftei Mis. Aten was to t,ee him the first time, ho consulted Mis. Lovcland, his em plojei's wife, and her mother, Mis, Goodhand, and they suggested delay. Ho acted on this adlce. THEY BOTHERED HIM. "This," said Mrs. Aten, "was Just what ho said to us, nnd he also told us he did not want us to come to the diug store nnd bother him." Tho mother and daughter letumed home and after considering the mat ter In all Its phases, Miss Aten con sulted A.ttoineys Vosbuig & Dawson and a suit was commenced. The young lady is well known and highly lespected and her parents nro much esteemed in the community in which they reside. The joung man bears an excellent reputation. "We are simply seeking Justice," was the way Mis. Aten put it yesterday. "We gave him every opportunity to act according to his promise to my daughter nnd he failed. This will prob ably warn some other young lady of hi.s actions to my daughter." Robert Sherwin's fi lends hoio say that Miss rerguson, of Paterson, Is now the object of his attentions. The Paterson Dally Press says ot tho case: Tho probabilities nro that tho suit will never como to trial. Tho oung man is still fond ot Mlfcs Atcn. He sayu tho ic.u son that ho has not been ablo to keep his promise with her is s'mly that ho Is not In a Jlnanclal position to assume tho le sponslbilitles of man ltd life. THINKS ACTION HASTY. His salary is buch that it would not en able him to piovldo a homo foi a wife, nnd, besides this, ho Is In debt live or t-lx hundred dollars for money that ho borrowed fiom iclatlvts nnd fuends to enablo him to puisuo I-ls studies In a. col lego of phaimacy, nnd has to pay this money back. Ui.dtt the clicumstances ho thinks JIUs Attn la rather hasty In htr uttlou. Ho tavs that tho joung wo Iran and her mother came to Paterson recently nnd tiled to Induce him to got married, w hereupon he set forth his con dition fully to them. Tho allldavlt made by Miss Aten, nnd upon which tho capias was Issued, allege nothing Improper in tho iclatlons of tho young people. Young Sherwin Is manly and Inttlllecnt, and ho foU keenly tho dlfgraco of his nrrr3t nnd Incatccratlon. Tho summons and declaration In tho suit havo not ns yet been issued, the ooplas being a preliminary stop to hold Sherwin so that tho papers can bo served upon him. Ho Is wondering whero ho would get $3,000, or any (part of it, oven If tho joung woman ot a Judgment against Mm in court. - m COUWBL RUCKTAIL CAIN. With Ills Wife and Sou Ho 7s Stranded in This City.

A commercial traveler ot England has unearthed n lomlnlscenco of Chnrles Dickens which Is of interest. Speaking to some acquaintances ho said: "1 will tell you a little story which I have never told to any ono outside my own famllj. About forty-five years ago I was going my llrst round and at Gloucester station I had to wait two hours. I was traveling in Jewell y and had with me a number of very valuable specimens. A lot of passengers were waiting and most of us went into tho refreshment room, where a very pretty young lady was sen Ing out sandwiches nnd toffee. I was very young under twenty and In order to pass away the time I chatted with tho young lady as a young man did In the old days, and as, I suppose, any young man would do today and w 111 for all time. Presently I opened my case and drew out a lady's very handsome watch, the back of which was studded with diamonds. It w as w orth about $300. 'How w ould you like ito to make you a present of this?' sild I to the young lady. 'Very much. Indeed,' said she, nnd took It and ran off with It, laughing. This drew gen eiali attention to me and my goods and I was soon sui rounded. "It did not occur to me at tho time how foolish I was to act like this In public, yet I was not sotry when the tialn tamo up and the expensive watch was handed back to me. I went out on the platform and a gentleman camo up to me. 'Are you go ing to Birmingham?' said he. 'Yes,' I leplled. 'So am I,' said he: 'will you come Into my carriage?' Then It (lashed upon me that the man had Feen my goods nnd designed to rob me. 'Cer tainly not,' I replied, but Jumped into a third-class carriage. But the strang er follow ed me. 'You aro smart enough In some respects,' he remarked, 'and you did quite right to refuse my invi tation. But don't be afraid. There are plenty of ld characters about, and It Is best you should not travel nlone to night. And I want to tell ott, ns you aro a young man nnd I am your elder, how veiy dangerous your conduct has been.' Then tho stranger talked so kindly nnd wisely that I could not pos sibly be offended. What he said has beer a lesson to me nil my life. At part ing he held out his hand. "I sli'iuld llko to know your name,' said I 'for jou havo acted as a true filend.' 'There Is mv card,' said he. nnd went. I never saw hint again." Tho old Gentleman opened his pocket book, and unwrapped a oard with the utmost care from the paper In which it was preserved. "That was tho name ot the stranger," said he. The card simply inn 'Chailes Dickens." PILLS LIKH HULLETS. In Cnse of War Every Irng Store Can Contribute Ammunition. Tn case of any scarcity of bullets It Is Interesting to know that eveiy dru stote can furnish a full supply of mis siles in the shape of pills, which, wheth er fired by the box (llko canister) from field artillery, or as bullets from small arms, will be found to possess n solidi ty and penetmtlve power unsurpassed by the most improved projectiles of the century. Such is the discovery lecently made by a mdlco of Inquiring tum of mind, who, upon licking a supposed leadei. pellet from a board, found to his sur prise that It was nothing moio nor less than nn ordinary pill, and after repeat ing the experiment with the bolus In question ho lesolved to Investigate as to whether the same quality attached to other pills, and with this view ho tried 20 difteient varieties of popular pills, all made on a large scale, bought in oilginnl paikages, as fresh as could bo proem ed, and opened by himself. Twenty-two of tho 2C vailetles were driven Into a board without the slight est difficulty, and without cracking or chipping the coating, save in two or three Instances. The palm for substantial workman ship and material, however, must be awarded to an ovoid compound rhu barb, gelatine-coated globule, which was shot through an Inch plank, splin tering oft a piece on the undersld of tho board one-half by two and one-half Inches, without any defacement or Im pairment of Its fair proportions or medical elllcacy and passing also through a lead pipe one-eighth of nn Inch in th'lckness. A board which served as a target for theso pharma ceutical bullets presented at the close of the experiment tho appearance of a government armor plate after a severe test with heavy artillery.

H2LS & CO,, Philadelphia ACCIDENT AT THE VON STQRCH MINE Coroner and a Jury Arc Inquiring Into (be Cause of It. TESTIMONY HEARD LAST NIQIIT It Wns to tho Ulloct Thnt Thomns Hill Wns Not n Tiro IIosi but n Wntchmnn.. A Theory Thnt Iho Men Could lluvo Snvcd Their Lives It Thov Closed Tullcv's CntcWlt- 1 ncsscs Who Tcstlllcd-. Inquest Will Ho Resumed Tonight. Tho coroner's Jury Impanelled to in vestigate tho Von Storch mine disas ter, by which six men lost their lives last Saturduy, met In the arbitration room of the court house last night. Eight of tho twenty-four witnesses who arc to be examined gave their tes timony nnd the sum and substance ot their stories were almost identical to previous reports In Tho Tribune. Evidence that Thomas Hill, who was known ns a fire boss, was merely a watchman, and that If Tulley's door In tho New Diamond vein had been opened by tho men they could have saved their lives, wero tho features of the inquest. Another matter hinted nt very strongly last night In the questions to witnesses was the belief that some one deliberately set tho mine afire. Here is a sample question: "Do you think a miner's lamp could havo set It afire?" "No, sir." "Now, understand me, I don't mean the spark from a lamp, but if the flame ltelf was applied could the mine be fired?" "Oh, yes, sir." That wns the way outside Foreman Charles Zelgler presented his Idea through Mine Inspector Henry Owen Prytherch, the questioner. The Jurors weie: John D. Keator, Edward Bar rett, James Barrett, Robert Courtrlght, William Jones and Patrick Cuslck, The arbitration room contained pos sibly fifty men, most ot whom were fellow-workmen of the dead mineis. -MAPS OF THE MINE. Maps showing the workings of the mine were displayed. Promptly at 8 o'clock Coroner S. P Longstreet called the first witness, Edward Slmpkins, the young man who was In charge of a pump and was stationed at a point nearest the fire. He discovered smoke shortly after 1.30 o'clock a. m. Saturday morning and at once started down to ward the lower pump house. He went back and found the smoke Increasing as he proceeded. Slmpkins then went outside and gave the alarm. He after ward went In and rescued two men, sending them out, and then went with in BOO feet of the "Light Bridge," where the flte is supposed to have started, but he could see no blaze. At this point In Simpkln's recitation a man sitting In the front row of seats, broke in with: "As an interested party. Coroner, enn I ask this man a question?" He was told that he could not. He pressed his point, but was finally si lenced. Slmpkins, in continuing his stoiy, said that at one time he was within 150 feet of the place whero the men were working. He shouted to them but received no answer. "When ques tioned by Inspector Prytherch, Slmp kins said that to his certain knowl edge no one had passed up or down the shaft during the night. He admitted that ho went up the slope and returned again at 9.50 o'clock Friday night. "Could any one pass up or down without you seeing hlm?" "No." "What, then, is your idea as to how the fire started?" "I haven't any," was tho answer. "If a fire was smouldering at the heel of the light bridge could you have detected it?" "I was positive there was no fire at 9 30 o'clock." WAS NO OIL THERE. Coroner Longstreet asked Slmpkins whether there was any oil nt the light bridge and was told there was not, save what dropped from the oil boxes of the cars. Thomas Morgan, surveyor for the Delaware and Hudson company, ex plained the workings of the mine from the mnps which he had made. Survey or Morgan could see conditions under which a fire could smoulder at the light bridge without Slrnnklns detect ing it. He was not asked to mention the conditions. The other witnesses last night were: Division Superintendent Flnlay Ross, Patrick Campbell, fire boss; Outside Foreman Charles Zelgler, Inside Fore man Harry Blrbeck and Joseph Yan kowskl. Superintendent Ross believed that if Tullejs' door, In tho Diamond vein, had been closed the smoke and gas would havo pursued a channel which would havo left free that part of tho mine where the men were. Ho could not explain the fire. Look, Kid Gloves, $1.23, 4-hook, Black and Colors.broken assortment of sizes, for S9c. Mousq. Gloves, 8-button, for 93c.

Foreman Zelgler thought a lighted match thrown carelessly would not havo caused tho fire. He read tho report, written by tho dead "watch man," or "firo boss," Thomas Hill, and found near his body. This report was exclusively printed in last Mon day's Tribune. Foreman Zelgler was deeply affected while reading the pa thetic missive from the dead, Harry Blrbeck, the inside foreman, swore that Hill was employed only as a watchman, No night firo boss was employed, he said, because thero Is little gns in tho mine. Surveyor Mor gan fortified this statement. Joo YankowskI, tho Inst witness, nnd tho sole survivor, repeated his remark able story, referring each time to "Fire Boss" Hill. Juryman Barrett asked: "Did Fire Bofm Hill know more about tho mine than you did?" Joo responded: "I don't know if ho did, or I don't know If he didn't." The hearing will be continued at P o'clock tonight. BALL OF THE PRINTERS. Their Eleventh Annual Will Ho Hold in Music Hall Nov. 10.
