JERMYN AND MAYFIELD.
Tho Delaware nnd Hudson Itrenkcr
Will He Itcbuilt. -Prospects of u
Silk Mill.
The topic ot conversation of Satur
day was the burning of the Delaware
and Hudson breaker, which has thrown
nearly 800 men and boys out of em
ployment, and has cast a gloom over
the town at present, because the Krlo
company are working their collieries
but one day u week. Some thought
that It would take at least three
months before the shaft would bo In
operation again, while others said that
the company calculated to' tear down
the old breaker and rebuild a now
structure upon the old foundation. Mr.
Hunter, the outside foreman, said on
Saturday evening that the colliery
will be In operation within six weeks.
Some of the head officials of the com
pany were on the scene Saturday
morning and they notified Mr. Hunter
to have the work pushed until It Is
completed. The lumber will be at tho
colliery on Monday. The engine house
and the shaft and trestllng will be re
built, but the old breaker will remain
us usual, There was u large force of
men employed Saturday clearing away
the debris from around the shaft. Tho
cause of tho lire, as stated In Satur
day's Tribune, remulns a mystery.
It Is now an established fact that
Jermyn will have a silk mill In opera,
tlon about March 1, Attorney H. D.
Carey, who has been Inducing the Max
well company to open an Industry In
this town, appeared before tho council
on Filday evening and appealed to the
council to accept the propositions which
have been made by the capitalist. He
suld that the old Jermyn store and two
adjolnng lots huvo been purchased by
the stockholders for the purpose of
opening a silk mill. All they asked, he
said, was that the property bo exempt
from taxes for fifteen years. Mr. Carey
urged upon the council to accept the
proroslton for the sake of the town and
people. Councilman Swlck offered the
following resolution, which was unani
mously adopted;

ofllcer pressed the button, but Hie
gun wus not dlccharged.
"When the mate came to, he was
asked what had happened, and he In
formed the olllcer that the breech of the
gun had not been locked, and that what
lie grabbed at, on the wall was the
wires forming the electric firing cir
cuit. When he saw that the ofllcer was
preparing to tire the gun, and at the
same time observed that the breech of
the gun was not locked, the only thing
that occurred to him to prevent the
gun bWng discharged was to destroy
the circuit, which he did promptly and
effectively. When all this occurred
there was a charge of L'50 pounds of
powder In the gun, another charge of
the same size In the turret ready tb be

"But for the quickness of the gun
ner's mate the gun would have been
blown out Inside the turret, the gases
from the burning powder would prob
ably have ignited the charge lying In
tho turret, this explosion would have
Ignited tho powder in the magazine,
and the chances are that the whole
ship, crew and all, would have gone up
In tho air. A thought that has oc
curred to me Is this: Suppose the ac
cident had occurred, what do you Im
agine the verdict of tho board of in
quiry as'to tho cauxe of the lo?n of the
ship would have been? Since this ex
perience, the department- has adopted
electrical means to prevent the dis
charge of any of the large guns' until
the breech Is locked." . . ;
