IIo v113 a married man and leaves a wife and children. The accident is dlreotly traceable to the storm. Passenger train No. 2oC, due In this city at G.13, was creeping slowly down the valley on account of the tcrrifllo wind, snow and rain storm that was raging. It was C.SO when the train left Peckvllle station, and a quar ter a mile tills side of it where the gravity road crosses the Ontario and Western, the signal pole had been blown down and lay across the track. On account of the storm the engine was almost on the pole before the en gineer saw It. There was a crash nnd the engine and tendc-. left the rails. Just then the fireman Jumped, and an Instant later the engine and tender top pled over and Davis was crushed to death beneath it. The engineer, Reu ben Lewis, of Klgth street, this city, stuck to his lever. He escaped with a few bruises. A wrecking crew was immediately sent to the scene from the Mavfleld yard nnd about 10 o'clock the remains of Davis were taken from beneath the wreck and prepared for burial at the Peckvllle station. When the engine and tender left the track the coupling broke and the pas senger nnd combination coaches which made up the train remained on the rails. The passengers were badly shak en up, but escaped injury. They came to this city on the Delaware and Hudson railroad. The road was opened up last night, but the engine will not be raised until today.

Interment at the .Washburn treat cemetery, DESPERATE WORK OF MASKED MEN SHOT AND KILLED MICHAEL F. CORCORAN, OF DURYEA. They Entered His Hotel Early Sat urday Morning for the Purpose of Robbing It and When He Resisted Their Effort They Muidered Him In the Most Cold-Blooded Manner. He Was One of Duryea's Most Prominent Citizens Murderers Still nt Large. Michael F. Corcoran, proprietor of the Anthracite hotel at Duryea. -Lu-zerne county, was shot and aimost In stantly killed by masked burglars at ".") Saturday morning. The burglars teemed about $!!j0 by blowing open a small safe In Mr. Corcoran's bedroom and rifling the cuth register. Daring men planned and executed the burglary for they hesitated not an Instant to take Mr. Corcoran's life when they saw he stood between them and the plunder they sought. Duryca is close to the Lackawanna county line nnd recently has won much notoriety on account of the crimes of what is known there as the "Dynamite Gang," composed of a remnant of tho "Terrible Pete" band. Mr. Corcoran was one of the most prominent men of the town. He was an rjx-postnin"-ter, proprietor of Its largest hotel und a moving spirit In everything of u pub lic; nature. Ho took an active part In trying to bring the "Dynamite Gang" to Justice and it was nt llrst feared that a desire for revenge had induced these lawless men to kill him. That reiwrt proved to be untrue. The kill ing was done by professional burglars who did their work so thoroughly as to leave scarcely a clue. Mr. Corcoran on Friday night closed hlJ hotel about midnight and retired for the night. He is a single man nnd slopt in tho rear of the bar room on the llrst floor of tho building. The only other occupants of tho bulldlnc were Mrs. Mary Monaghan, the house keeper, and Miss Nellie Murphy, a ser vant, who occupied separate rooms on the second foor. THE BURGLARS ENTER. Soon after 2 o'clock Saturday morn ing the burglars entered the building. They forced open a window on the south side of the building and through this one of the burglars entered the house. They seem to have been well acquainted with tho manner in which it is laid out. The man who entered the building found himself in a small sitting room, in which tho body was laid out Saturday, and from this he passed into the kitchen nnd thence in to the hallway, from which a door leads to the yard in tho rear of the hotel. It was an easy matter to open this door from tho inside and the other three burglars were admitted to tho building. In the kitchen they remov ed their shoes, arranged handkerchiefs oer their faces in the form of masks ar.d then proceeded to tho room of Mr. Corcoran which was on the other side of the hallway and about fifteen feet nearer the front of tho building. AVhen Mr. Corcoran retired ho locked tho door from the inside and left the key In tho lock. This was quickly and noiselessly ascertained and then a small sledgehammer was brought into play. Several blows were struck with the hammer over tho lock and the piece of iron on the inside of the door frame which received the lock was forced off. The first blow from the sledge awak ened Mr. Corcoran and he Jumped from the bed just as tho door began to swing Inward. A lighted lamp turned down low was standing on tho washstnnd near the foot of tho bed and midway between the head of the bed nnd the door was a stand on which Mr. Cor coran's revolver lay. Against the wall near the door was the safe which is about four feet in height and three feet wide. COLD-BLOODED MURDER. Mr. Corcoran was a man of magnifi cent physique and probably relying on his giant strength he neglected to pick up his revolver as he Jumped for the door. He got his shoulder against it nnd fdrced it shut for an instant but tho combined weight of tho four men was too much for him and the door was gradually forced inward again. Tho room is a narrow one and t,ho door when opened, was almost against tho welt. The struggle between the man with in and those without continued until Mr. Corcoran was forced back against the wnll. Just what happened nfter that will probably never bo known. Oiu- of the burglars and Corcoran probably grappled and another rammed n revolver usainst his neck and fired. The bullet took a downward rourco and death followed almost instantly. Tho Hc&h was burned r.nd blackened by tho powder. Evidently the burglars were unaware of that for they bound his legs and arms with a rope and threw itlm on the bed. About the time the door was forced open Mrs. Monaghan who had been (iakaucd by the noise, came down stairs dad only In her night robe. When sho saw tho mpsked men In the hallway sho screamed and started to ward the foot of the stairs again.

Coarsen Bast Goods for Least Money, companions, overtook her and titter ndmonlshlrg t-llenco on her part If sho valued her life, dragged hrr to the room where they were operating. Sho allege that nlxiut the time she reached the door of tho room she saw Corcoran shot. She waM bound nnd In n measure gagged though not until the members of the gang had disputed about the ndvlxubility of killing her. Her prayers for mercy must havu made un impression on tho men for Ihey fir.ally threw her onto tho bed be tide the body of her employer and told her to give them no trouble or tho would be shot. BLEW OPEN THE SAFE. Tho men then went to woik on the cafe in a business-like way nnd soon had a small opening made at the boi tom of the door. Nltto-glycerino was Inserted and the door or the safe shat tered. Before exploding the charge, the men waited for a coal train on tho Deluwnre, Lackawanna nnd Western road to rumble by. Evidently they know when It was due and counted on It to off-set the noise of tho explosion. The explosion was not loud. The men remained In the room all the time. In the safe was a little over t:!00 In money und many papers. The money was taken und tho papers fctiowr. about the 11 nor. In the barroom was tho cash register nnd this wan car ried into the bedroom and broken open and rilled. A search was also made for valuables about the room but noth ing of any groat value was secured. The burglar then counted their cash, found they had about $230 and af:er dividing it equally they prepared to leave. One of the men espied a dia mond ring on Mr. Corcoran's finger and removed It but made no eftort to as certain whether their victim was dead or nlive. When leavirg the bedroom thy as sured Mrs. Monaghan It sho moved for half an hour or gave any alarm they would come back and blow up the building with dynamite. When she should release herself they told her to get a doctor lor Mr. Corcoran that he might not bleed to death. From their conversation while in the :00m shs was led to believe thut they came to the building on foot and intended to da part in tho same manner. After they were gone sho succeeded with much effort in frelng herself from the cloths with which she was bound und nfter awakening Nellie Murphy, who had slept peacefully during all tho tragic doings on tho llcor below, tho women Instantly alarmed tho neighbors and Drs. Pier and Burlington were promptly at Mr. Corcoran's side. Their assistance was of no avail for tho un fortunate man was dead some time. AUTHORITIES NOTIFIED. The authorities of this city, Plttston and WIlkes-TJurro were quickly notified and tho search for the men begun. County Detective C. B. Johnson, of Luzerne county, was early on the scene, made an examination of the premises and left to think out theories and examine clues. Justice of tho Peace Gllboy, who is a deputy oroncr of Luserne, after notifying Coroner McKee, sworo the following jury: Wil liam Riley, 15. C. Maloska, F. J. Rea gan, P. G. Gllboy, John McNIsh, A. T. Dcnnegar. Tho autopsy performed by Dr. Baker proved that the bullet entered the neck on the left side, severed tho carotid artery and caused instant death. Afterwards It passed along the collar bone through the upper cavity of the right lung and penetrntlng tho second rib passed to the rear, being found under tho right shoulder blade. Tho men who committed tiie bur glary and murder were acquainted with Mr. Corcoran's business affairs. Fri day was pay day at the mine:: about Duryea ajjd usually he has a largo amount ofihoney on hand on this night. Friday night the nmout.t was much smaller than usual. Two weeks ago four suspicious look ing characters were at the Pullman house for two days. They spent con siderable money and seemed anxious to become acquainted with the affairs of various residents of Avoca. Fri day night men answering thrlr de scription were seen nt McAndrews' ho tel, Avoca, nnd Winklefield's, near Duryea. The men who operated at Duryea are probably the same masked men who robbed tho otlico of the Dan vlllo brewery and Davenport's store at Plymouth last week. Corcoran was 3: years of age, sin gle and a son of the lato Select Coun cilman Patrick Corcoran, of the Twen-' tleth ward. He was born in Minooka and has been a resident of Duryea slr.ee 1S90. lie wns a good business innn and had amassed a considerable fortune. POSTMASTER OF DURYEA.

BURNS SPRUNG ANOTHER SURPRISE GIBBONS CONTEMPT CASE IS YET TO BE HEARD. Instead of Making Answer to Rulo For Contempt Saturday, us Di rected, a Motion to Quash tho Rule Was Presented for the Court's Consideration Tho Motion Wns Overruled After a Good Deal of Discussion and Mr. Gibbons Was Directed to Answer Today. Instead of making answer to tho rule for contempt oti John Gibbons, In the election contest mutter, Mr. Burns nppcared before court Saturday morn ing nt tho appointed hour with a mo tion to quash the rule on the ground of irregularity. Judges Archbald and Gunster, who were on the bench, refused to quash the rule and diiected that Mr. Gibbons make answer. Mr. Burns contended thut there was nothing to answer and put forward some very sound and strong arguments in support of this contention, but court would not tako his view of the matter, and after in dicating that it was not nt all pleased with what it considered tho dilatory tactics of Mr. Burns, directed that tho answer to the contempt rulo should be made this morning. Mr. Burns' reasons for asking that the rulo for contempt be quashed wero that the petition for the rule, while purporting to be that of Wade M. Finn, was not signed by him or sworn to, nnd that a man cannot commit con tempt of court outside of court. There was a lengthy discussion pro nnd con between Mr. Bursn and Mr. Holgate, with the court interposing fre quent questions nnd comments nnd at Its conclusion, tho Judges retired for consultation. When they returned Judge Archbald announced that the motion had been overruled nnd that Mr. Gibbons must make answer. ARGUMENT OF MR. BURNS. Mr. Burns still had a few more up his sleeve. He argued that every man charged with criminal offense must bo confronted with the accusation made against him. Mr. Gibbons, ho said, was called upon to show cause why ho should not be held for contempt, yet it was not brought home to him wherein he hnd committed contempt. Judge Archbald announced that tho record of tho case makes tho charge. "But what is he going to answer?" asked Mr. Burns. "Is he expected to pick out tho papers from the flics and make answer to them?" "Ho is going to answer for his fail ure to appear before the examiners and make answer to certain questions as directed by court." Judge Archbald said. Then Mr. Burns went on to reiterate that Mr. Gibbons had never been con fronted with any violation of the law, and that he had appeared before the examiners as directed and made an swer to the questions as be deemed proper. Mr. Holgate made a lengthy argu ment In support of tho rule, reviewing tho case from beginning to end and nr gulng that In refusing to answer tho questions specifically Mr. Gibbons was guilty of contempt. Mr. Burns suggested that if court deemed tho answer made through him by Mr. Gibbons Insufficient, that Mr. Gibbons be allowed to go before tho examiners again and recite It himself. Court, however, would not hear to this and somewhat testily asked Mr. Burns why Mr. Gibbons wns not pro ceeding with his answer to the rule for contempt. MR. GIBBONS' REASON. "For the same reason," replied Mr. Burns, "that everybody has when they put In a motion to quash. They aro not required to answer until the motion to quash is disposed of." There was no getting away from this and court admitted that Mr. Gibbons should be given a reasonable time to answer. Mr. Burns wanted a week, but Judge Archbald said this was rldcu lous and fixed this morning at 0 o'clock as the time. Mr. Burns' next move is awaited with interest. CIVIC CLUB MEETING. First Session This Year Was Held Saturday Evening. "Tho Philippine. Question" was dis cussed at Saturday evening's opening meeting of theseasonof the Civics' club. The meeting was held In the assembly room of the Scranton Public library. Quite a large number of members were present. A short Introductory address was de livered by Chairman Torrey. John Gunster read a paper on "Colonization In History." The subject of an address by Arthur Dunn was "England nnd Spain as Colonial Powers." Rev. Rogers Israel was assigned the affirmative side of argument upon the retention of the Philippines. The prob lem, ho said, cume to the United States ns something forced upon the govern ment's consideration and not sought by it. This government has been put in the position, he argued, of encouraging nnurchy and bloodshed by repudiating her obligation, or. If assuring to tho world the comparative peacefulness of a rich archipelago by assuming the t'pousorshlp so unexpectedly ncqulred. Mr. Israel made use of statistics In support of his argument that the 1'nlted States would bo greatly bene fitted commercially. The negative sldo of tho debate was represented by Professor AV .II. Buell. He contended that tho absence of di slgns In tho Philippine at tho outbreak of hostilities should have been a point A Good Set or Tcelli for... $3.00 Our licst Sets or Teeth 5.00 Including the Painless Infraction.
