CORONER'S JURY
IS IN DOUBT
No Verdict Reached In Qrccn Rldje
Iron Works Case.
WILL EXAMING TUG SCENG TODAY
Sensational tin it Conflicting Testi

Hero Told by tlio AnslMntii Uncln
uor llio II ic I'ly Whoul Wai Unsiilo
nuil Would Kill Someone--1 nlhor
uf tlio Young ftlnn Who Wits Killed
.Unites Homo Startling Assertions.
Rather sensational testimony was
brought out at Inst night's continued
coroner's Inquest Into the death ot
Owen Davis, the young man killed on
Tuesday of hint week by the bursting
if the big 14-ton ily wheel nt the Green
Ridge Iron works.
Three witnesses testified that on tho
day previous to the fatality the assist
ant engineer, Ellsworth Price, had cau
tioned them against dnnger from the
wheel, which was liable to break and
kill the men about It. Evidence from
two other witnesses was to the effect
that since the accident old cracks or
Haws had been found In the wreckage
ot the wheel.
Attorneys John P. Scragg and K. C.
Newcomb, representing the father of
young D ivln, nnd the mill people re
spectively, energetically piled the wit
nesses with questions as on the pre
vious evening. Tho whole testimony
us to the primary cause of the accident
and In reference to possible criminal
neglect has been so conflicting that tho
jury was unable to return a verdict.
The jury cVlained Coroner Longstreet's
permission to examine the wreckage
nnd broken machinery and will visit
the mill for that purpose at noon to
day. Isaac Vought, a machinist and sta
tionary engineer nt the Suburban Elec
tric light plant, nnd who worked In the
Oreen Ridge Iron works up to nbout a
year ago, was called. Two keys driv
en from opposite sides, to bind the
wheel to the shaft, were used on the
wheel when ho was employed ut the
works. He was employed there five
years ns foreman and thought the
wheel unsafe on nccount of Its wooden
foundations. The wheel itself was all
right.
HIGH RATE OF SPEED.
Vought had run the wheel 300 revo
lution? per minute In making three
eighths Inch Iron. He would not con
sider it safe to run it at high speed with
only one key In It. While he was fore
man he would not have permitted It to
le done. The wheel was on the shaft
so tight when he was there that It re
quired tlio force of two jack-screws to
press It off. The keys then used were
thuered
If only one key was In place It might
raise cne side of tho wheel unduly. If,
however, a new shaft had been put In
Place, the wheel might have been true.
One key would not, however, be as
good as two.
Joseph Vought, a machinist, a broth
er of Isaac Vought, and foreman at the
Paragon Plaster mill, was called. He
visited the works out 5f curiosity soon
after the accident. Some one had called
his Ltlentlon to a break In a "dowell"
connecting two of the segments of the
rim. The break was an old one, he
thought. He said bo at the time, and
supposed his remark accounted for his
being subpoenaed. It would have re
quired inspection by an expert to have
netected it before the wheel broke. Tho
break might have weakened the wheel.
He would not approve running the
wheel 200 .-..volutions If the break had
been known. The break couiu not be
seen until after the rim was broken.
Price, the assistant engineer, was re
called and In answer to Mr. Scragg de
nied havli.g told Uert Vought the rlay
before the accident that the wheel was
unsafe, and that it would kill some
one.
Pert Vought was then summoned to
the stand. He is a fireman nnd en
gineer at the Paragon Plaster plant.
He said Pice remarked to him the day
before the uccident: "Hertle, you'd bet
ter look out for that lly wheel; It Is
unsafe, and liable to fly out and kill
some one." Price told him it was loose
on the shaft. Witness hnd not since
examined tho wreckage to verify what
Price said.
WHAT PRICE SAID.
Charles Harmon, a "strapper," said
that Price, llv? assistant engineer, had
aid to the witness on tho day before
Hie accident. "Look at that wheel wob
ble; It will come out of there some
day and kill some one." Tho witness
bald one ot the Voughts was his uncle.
Thomas W. Davis, the father of tho
young Davis who was killed was ex
amined. He was employed ns a laborer
In the works He related a conversa
tion with Price of import similar to
that of.-eml by Vought and llarman.
Price said lie had seen something which
he didn't like the looks of, but which
he didn't care to speak about as he
might bo accused of interfering with
his superiors. The wheel, Price said,
would bo some one's death.
Engineer Stelnback, live weeks ago,
had told tho witness that the counter
shaft was Insecure nnd that ho was
ufrald to work under it. Cox, the boss
roller, had said, not once, but n dozen
times, that tho mill was "rotting
down." Mr. Davis said It was false
that the wheel was regularly Inspected.
"It was not Inspected from ono month
tc another," he said.
Arthur Lord, it carpenter employed
by the Green Ridge Lumber company,
examined tho broken parts of the
wheel on the day of the accident.
One of the breaks In tho rim nnd spoko
connections looked like an old btvak.
It looked like n flaw. Tho crack or
(law was in tho "strap" Joining one
of tho arms to the rims.
There were several cnuses from
which tho wheel In question might
have wobbled. Tho wheel might not
have been bored true; It might have
been keyed higher on one side than
another.or the wheel Itself might have
been untrue. All lly wheels wobbled
unless they had been turned. The
cracked key. to which he had referred,
wus In the Joint connecting one of
tho arms to u segment Tho crack
would not, In his opinion, cause tho
wheel to lueak.
MIGHT WEAKEN WHEEL.
To questions put by Mr. Scragg,
Lord said the cracked key might
weaken the wheel. The Imperfection
was however, not in sight.
Ellsworth Price, who was running
tho engine when the accident hap
pened, and who was slightly hurt,
said when first put on the stand, that
tho engine was running only 55 revo
lutlons. The lly wheel was running
fust; he did not know how fast.
Price did not know what caused the
nccldent. Ho henrd a crack and wns
knocked down when the crash came.
Ho had placed 35-pound weights on
the governors of the engine to In
crease Its spovd, ns had been tho
custom. Ho had been told that after
tho now shaft was put In, only one
key was required. The witness hod
nearly a year's experience ns nn engi
neer. John Jones, r roller, said he heard n
cracking sound, like the breaking of a
belt, before the wheel broke. He hnd
not considered the wheel unsnfe.
William linker offered similar evi
dence. Joshua Poperwell, a machinist, de
scribed tho custom of weighting the
governor of that particular engine.
Weights were used to render the gov
ernor useless nnd permit nn uninter
rupted ttow of steam. Two keys on
the fly wheel would, in his opinion, be
bettor than one. One key would be
liable to become loosened nnd "chaw
ed off" as tho witness aptly described
It. Ho knew nothing about the wheel
In question since It had been fitted to
a new shnft.
George Bailey, n permanent fireman
of the General Phlnney company, was
one of the firemen who responded to
the firo nlarm. The building was near
ly a total wrecn. He wns employed
at the works up to Oct. 1, 1897. Tho
foundation then was bad; the wheel,
he thought, was nil right. He never
saw the wheel make over 200 revolu
tions. HEARD A CRACKING NOISE.
Jesse Teet, a "catcher" at the rolls,
testified he heard a slight cracking
"like a fire cracker." While he was
running away he heard a "grinding"
and then the final crush.
Asked If he hod ever considered the
wheel unsafe, he sold he used to stand
near It for the purpose of getting
"cooled off."
The engineer at the works, William
Stelnback, was sworn. A part of his
duty was to Inspect the machinery.
He examined tho wheel every day.
The key which held It to the shaft
was In place. If he had considered
one key insufficient he would not have
worked there. Ho could not tell what
caused the accident, but he gave a
realistic description of the scenes In
tho mill immediately following the
breaking of tho big wheel.
Engineer Stelnback did not know
what the primary cause of the break
was, but In answer to the coroner's
question, he ventured the opinion that
the counter shaft hod broken and fall
en into the fly wheel.
Tho witness had since the accident
directed the removal of what remained
of the wheel from the shafo. It was
so firmly in place that It required
the assistance of six men working
half a day to get It loose.
Mr. Gerecke, the Dickson works as
sistant manager, was recalled. He
said the age of the breaks In the "dow
ell" or other parts of the wheel could
not have been determined u few days
after the acoldent without the use of
a magnifying glass. The breaks, to
him, nppeared to Have been made by
coming In contact with some hard sub
stance. The original drawings of the
wheel indicated It was built 20 years
ago. Its life should be 30 or JO years.
The age would, of course, depend on
the relative use to which the wheel
had been put.
From the testimony of Mr. Gerecke,
Engineer Stelnback and other, wit
nesses, it was learned that the shaft
had but ono key groove, whllo two
were contained In the wheel. This
accounted for the fact that but one
key was used.
ACT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Decision ot Luzerne Judgo With Ref
erence to Prison CoininisNionurii.
The net of assembly passed by the
recent legislature, requiring the courts
to appoint one prison commissioner
from each of the two leading political
parties was declared unconstitutional
Monday by a decision handed down by
Judges Woodward and Lynch, of Lu
zerne county.
The opinion of the judges is a lengthy
one and a main point reRched and de
cided Is that tho act of 1897 comes un
der the head of special legislation,
which is forbidden by the state consti
tution, ns it applies to only one county
In the state.
Accompanying the opinion wns an
order of the court reappointing T. M.

SERIOUS CHARGES
AGAINST A TRUSTEE
E. A. Corny Secures nn Injunction Upon
a Sensational Petition.
J. S. JENKINS TIM DEFENDANT
Alleged That lie Converted to lit
Own Due Stuck Which Ha Held In
Trail lor tlio Cninplniiinnt and Hint
lie Wns Guilty of Deception and
I'riuid In JHuungoinont of n Com
jinnr--Trouble Encountered In He
curing tho Injunction.
An equity suit, with sensational
features was Instituted here yesterdoy
against John S. Jenkins, of West
Plttston, by Ellsha A. Coray, tho well
known coal operntor, who some years
ago was extensively engaged in the
coal business hero.
In tho declaration, allegations nre
made that tho defendant has been
guilty of mismanagement of the plain
tiff's affairs and that he Is endeavor
ing to defraud the plaintiff by dispos
ing for his own advantage, of 200
shares of Rushbrook Coal company
stock which he holds In trust for the
plaintiff.
A preliminary injunction, return
able next Friday at 11 o'clock a. m
was granted by Judge Slmonton, on
motion of Attorney Aglb RIcketts, of
Wllkes-Rarre. The injunction calls
for an accounting between the patties
and restrains the defendant from dis
posing of the stock In question. Tho
complaint in full Is as follows:
In or about the jenr is.", I employed
the defendant John S. Jenkins, as trums
tor In tho business of n grist mill, which
1 was then conducting In Luzerne county.
He continued lu this employment with
ine until the breaklrg out of the southern
rebellion, when Ho enlisted and went to
the war. Upon his return he again de
sired to enter my employment nnd I
therefore employed him ns outsldu lore
man of my Greenwood colliery. He con
tlnued In this employment with but little
Interruption until the year 1ST!) when iho
said mine went Into the hands of a re
ceivid. Mennwhlle he had become my
trusted confidential agent.
WAS PLACED IN CHARGE.
' Afterwards I placed him In charge of
i the business of tho Spring lirook Railway
company, of which business 1 was the
ownfr. With tho exception of twenty
shnres placed In tho hands of Louis
Watres and nlnety-flvo In the hnnds of
A. II. Christy, 1 placed all tho stock of
the railway company In the hands ot the
s.ild defendant. The number ot shares
thus placed In his hands being 1.397. l'liese
shares were placed In his hands to hold
In trust for me, and the business of the
company was to be conducted for my
use nnd benefit.
I also negotiated u purchase of coal
land situate In Ulakely township, this
county, from John Jormyn, tor $7,(HK).
The title of this land acquired from snld
Jermyn was also placed In the said de
fendant In trust for mo and for my bene
fit. Subsequently I arranged to have a
company organized to take this land and
operate It, und to have the title trans
ferred by the defendant to the snld com
puny, he to take tho stock of the com
pany In place of the land, and hold It for
me in the same trust ns he held the lnnfl.
This arrangement was carried out and
the Rushbrook Coal company was organ
ized, and the lltlo to the lnnd was trans
ferred to It bv the said defendant, and
he took the stock of said company to
hold for mo us aforesaid. I made him
the president of the said company.
During our transactions aforemen
tioned, I became indebted to the defend,
unt, and to secure him I gave him a Judg
ment: and also to further secure him,
the said property items ns aforesaid held
by him In trust was made subject to his
claim for my Indebtedness.
I had arranged a disposition of the
property of the Spring Urook Railway
company which would havo been very
advantageous, and enabled ine to dis
charge all of said Indebtedness to the de
fendant, and have a convenient sutplus
lemalnlng, but such disposition was pre
vented by the discovery during tho nego
tiations that the defendant had converted
the whole stock thus ns aforesaid held by
him hi trust for me, to his own use and
transferred It to the members of his own
family and others.
LOSS HE SUSTAINED.
The loss thus caused me was more tli.in
all my Indebtedness to him. Discovering
his treachery thus, I have been demand
ing and endeavoring to secure a settle
ment of all our aff.iirs. In consequence
of this nn Investigation has been recently
made of his conduct of the affairs ana
business' of the aforesaid Rushbrook Coal
company, which Investigation has devel
oped tho fact that while 1 wus trusting
him us my confidential trustee nnd agent,
he was systematically defrauding me, and
that while representing that I was large
ly indebted to Him ho was and Is In real
liy, upon a Just settlement, largely In
debted to me.
I havo been unable to bring him to nn
account and settlement of the aforesaid
matters. I have also learned that ho Is
endeavoring to dispose ot tho shares of
stock of the Rushbruok Coal company
still held by him In trust, as aforesaid, al
though recently re-elected president of
the company. The number of shares
thus ut present remaining In his hands
Is two hundred.
Inasmuch ns 1 nm thus unable to ob
tain from Him, without legal process, and
also unable otherwise to prevent the
further disposition, to my Injury, of prop
erty held by him In trust for me I there
fore tile this bill for the aid of the court.
Accompanying the bill Is a copy of a
declaration of trust signed by Mr. Jen
kins, In which he sets forth. that tho
Rush Hrook property Is Held by him
for Mr. Coray. There Is also a copy
of an assignment of the property to
bo used In case of the trustee's death.

E Q. Coursen
eouras
Informed Him that he desired to mnke
a motion for nn Injunction. "A'ou enn't
make nny motion before mo," Judge
ArcHbnld replied, pushing on to H1h
ofilco nnd locking the door In Mr. Rlck
ett's fnce. "Well, that's cool," re
marked Mr. RIcketts as He scratched
His hend nnd began to ponder How He
would securo the much desired Injunc
tion. GOT INJUNCTION SIGNED.
He learned that Judge Slmonton Had
not yet adjourned court In No. 2 nnd
Hurrying thither presented his plea for
the Injunction. Judge Slmonton wna
loth to deal with the matter, being n
visiting Judge, and besides not being
certain that the suit should be brought
In this county. Mr. RIcketts explained
that the olllces of the company are lo
cated Here, nnd most likely the stock
In question Is kept In these offices. Af
ter some discussion, Judge Slmonton
snld he would tnke the risk nnd signed
tho Injunction.

Who take their lunch will find
that bread made of "SNOW
WHITn" Hour will not dry out
as much as that made of in
ferior grades,
"Snow White"
Is a strong Hour and absorbs In
the mixing, and afterwards re
tains, more moisture than ordi
nary Hour. This makes it more
valuable to people who take
their dinners and who do not
like to have their bread dry out.
Your grocer sells ''Snow
White."

Great musicians use Klmballs. Tha
testimony of musicians who command
a salary of from $1,000 to $2,000 for each
performance must be accepted a3 hav
ing weight. They, at least, escape the
charge of not knowing what they aro
talking about. Lillian Nordlca says:
"The more I uso my Kimball piano tha
better I llko It." Jean De Iteszke says;
"We havo concluded to purchaso Kim
ball pianos for our personal use." John

piano Is first-class In every respect."
