Tho origin of the flro which de stroyed the engine house and air-shaft of Johnson's No. 1 colliery, nt IPrlce burg, early yesterday morning, Is not known. It la presumed it was ncci 'dcntnl, that a mlno lamp accidentally set fire to the oil-soaked timbers. Vigorous effort was required to keep tho llnmes from spreading. Tho loca tion of the boiler house ncross the rond nnd nwny from the engine house ac counts for the absence of nny damage to the steam plant. Oltlclnls of tho company would not, or could not, talk definitely about the losses yesterday. They were chiefly concerned about the engines nnd other machinery, and expressed their Inabil ity to snv how badly thev were In jured. The fan, which was of the Qablcnl type, Is believed to have es caped serious Injuiy on account of tho protection afforded by the brick woik about It. A large foicc of men Id engaged In clearing nwny the debris, nnd It Is hoped to resume work eaily next week. ENGINEER CLARK INJURED. Thrown from a Caboose on Which Ho Was Riding.

Tho lnjuied man re fldes on Jefferson avenue and usually walks down to the tracks of the Dela ware, Lackawanna nnd Western lnll load, fiom the Intersection of hacka wnnna and Jefferson avenues. Reaching this point yesterday 11101 n Ing, he boarded an unattached caboose which was being run Into the yard. He stood on the front platform and did not notice an empty engine which was closely following the caboose. Just be yond w here Washington avenue goe under the Hacks, the engine bumped into the cuboosc. Morris was thiown headlong to the ground, and the caboose passed oer both his legs. His cloth ing was caught in such a manner as to drag him some distance before the caboose could be bi ought to a stop. The Injured mnn was Immediately re moved to the Moses Taylor hospltnl, wheie It was found necessary to am putate the right foot Just above the tinkle Joint. Later, the left log, which was also badly mnngled, was ampu tated Just below the knee, lie wns also biulsed and cut about the body and head. The patient milled well fiom tho shocks ot ntcldent and amputations, and at a late hour last night wai doing as well as could bo expected under the circumstances. Engineer Claik runs engine No. 62, known us "Water Gap," and was on hlb way to the round house to take his engine out when the unfortunate accident occurred. He Is unniairied, and nbout 35 years of age Ills patents reside at Portland, Pn. VAN HORN HAD A RAZOR. Manner in Which Ho Secured It Is a Mystery. A 1 11201 was found In the tell of George K Vun Horn, the murderer, at the county Jail. The discovery vias made seeial days ugo. The weapon was concealed in the pilsoner's mat tiess. Van Horn since his confinement hat. alwajn been sluucd by someone besides himself. Van Horn has never been lilted by nny unaccompanied pet son. A keeper or other Jail attache has always been a thlril peron present. The prisoner s mother and his attorneys are about the only pei hoiks who have called upon him. The condemned man has been le moed to another cell. Uefore he en tered It his person was stripped of eveiy 111 tide of uppaiel nnd he was furnished with a new outllt. The new cell was fitted with only the barest necessities, as It Is not desired to gle him the we of nn thing which could be coneited into a means of self-destruction. A number of new iule, calculated to guai d against tho possibility of the escape of pilboners and against lm pioper communication with the outside world, lme been established.

Louis Rosenberg, Mr. and Mrs. Wolf Rosenbeig and Michael Rosenberg were brought before Alder man Kasson yesterday afternoon, on Information furnished by Nuthan Hor vvltz. The Information charged the de fendants with having committed ag giavated assault and battery upon the person of the prosecutor, and went on to state that "they made the assault with some weapon or instrument and cut, stabbed and wounded tho Inform ant."

COURSEN. defendants waived a hearing and en tered ball for their appearance at court. From an Interview with Mr. Horwltz It was learned that tho alleged assault occurred nbout 1 o'clock yesterday af ternoon In a store on Penn avenue, kept by D. Harris. Mr. Horwltz Btntod that he was engaged In a business con versation with Mr. Harris, when the defendants all lushed In and began to pull nt him nnd bent him, One struck and Jabbed at him with a pipe. Another seized a broom and btoko It over his head, causing a bad scalp wound, from which he bled profusely Horwltz tried to escape behind a counter, nnd they even followed him there. Though Mr. Harris remoiiBtrntod, the Rosenbergs, so Horwltz states, only desisted when they grew tired. Horwltz then sought n doctor and later tho uldermnn. He nllcccs that this Is not the first time he hns been mnltreatcd by tho Rosenbergs, and that the trouble grew out of the overt net of tho women of the Rosenberg family in mnklng his wife sick about a week ngo. It was In this wise: A servant girl, who worked for tho Rosenbergs, left there and came to Horwltz'. While Mr. Horwltz was absent, one of the Ropenberg women went to his house and upbraided Mrs. Horwltz, who was III In bed, and also accused the girl of having stolen goods from the Rosenberg home. For remonstrating against this ac tion, 'Horwltz alleges that he was set upon and beaten. The parties con cerned are neighbors on Penn avenue. ANNUAL MASQUERADE.

Kveiv year for the last tlnee decades each Lledprkianz masquerade ball has been voted more of a success than the ones preceding It. Last night's event was no exception.

At this juncture Hauei's oichestia strikes up a march and the buiU'squeis coming down from the stage open the grand march. Victor Wenzel, ot the committee of uriangements, led the way.

Vordict Is Against the Bowon Coal Company, at Whoso Washory, in Taylor, James Sullivan Was Scald ed Contention Was Made That tho Steam Was Not Controlled by a Propor Appliance, nnd tho Com pany Neglected to Provide Means for Caring for Injured Employes. A verdict Involving some fine po!nt9 concerning the responsibility of u mine company In providing for the safety of Its employes, was rendered last night In the enso of James Sullivan, who died from the effects of a scalding ho re ceived on Jan. 24, at the vvashcry ot the Hovven Coal company at Taylor. Tho verdict Implicates the company and was as follows: Wo find that the s.ild James Sullivan met death through negligence of tho Iiowen Coal company: First, by not hnv Ing the necessary connections adjusted to tho safety volvo whereby steam could, properly nnd without endangering life, escape, and that "the said James Sulli van would not have met with accident had such adjustment been provided; sec ondly, that the proper means to convey tho said James Sullivan to his home was not provided, namely, u stretcher and tho nccesnry blankets to prevent ex posure. Thomas Hasson. W. 8. Nylin rt. 1). J, Jones. Charles Davis H. II. Frutchle. W. A. Fetzliiger. The Inquest wus conducted by Cor oner Robeits In the mbltratlon room at the court house. TWO POINTS RAISED. Mine Inspector Prytheich had ie quested that the Inquest be held. Under the law a coroner has no jurisdiction in a mine accident unless he Is asked by a mine inspector to conduct an Investi gation. In this case two circumstances. Indicating possible negligence, had been raised. One was that the com pany had not provided a proper and safe method of relieving the boilers oC steam pressure; the other contention was that the company wns negligent In not hnvlng an ambulance, a stretcher or other means at hnnrt foi oaring for Injured employes. Attorney J. M. Harris was piesent in the Interest of Sullivan's relatives nnd was permitted to eiuestlon the wit nesses. The same privilege was ac coided MIn" Inspector Prjtheich. There were six vtltnesses, four of whom hntl been subpoenaed by the coroner. The other two were relatives of Sulli van and were called by Attornev Har ris. The coronet's 'witnesses weie John Perry, H. Jones, Joseph Rlnckham and E. Allen. All except Jones aie em ployed at the holler house. From their testimony the follow Intr facts weie developed: Sullivan wus alone In the boiler house when the ac cident occurred. He had never been Instructed to allow the steam to es cape and It was not a part of his duties, us he was an nh wheeler. On the night In question he mounted the short ladder leading to a small doorway which opened Into a loft or conflneel space lu which the s-afety valve, lever nnd ball are located. Or, rather. It was piesumed he did this. Anyhow, the first intimation of the accident came fiom him. He Mas standing out side the boiler houro and calling to Dlackham, the fireman In charge, who had gone to the breaker. Rlnckham found that Sullivan had been scalded nbout the face, neck, hands and urms. He was tnkn Into the ofllee and cov ered with a coat, dnndkerchlefs were tied nbout his hands. He wns rational nnd able to walk about. REASONS FOR DELAY. One messenger wns dispatched for a physlelnn and another to asccitaln wheie Sullivan llvd. Each had to walk about a quarter of a mile. One of the messengeis returned nnd said he had tried lo get three physicians but two weie 111 and Dr. Olmstead wn lame and had directed that the Injured mun be brought home. When the employes of the vashery started to assist Sullivan to walk home, his brother and cousin nppeared and took, him away with theni, Sulli van hud aslcd repeatedly to be taken home. Meanwhile the safety valve was in spected by Dlackham and others. They found the ball I'emoved from the lever and resting on a beam. The ball could not have fallen. It must have been detached by hand. It was customary to push the ball toward the valvo a notch at a tlmf until the pressure was at 30 pounds or less. Then it could bo removed. On this night the pressuie was nt 5n pounds and aulllvan had evi dently removed the ball at once Instead of allowing the steam to escnpe gradu ally. The rush of stem enveloped and scalded him, Patrick Sulllvun, a brother, and Tim othy Sullivan, a cousin of the deceased, testified to taking htm home afoot. It was cold In the shanty or office where he had been kept waiting for a physi cian nnd they preferred to risk the open air and the walk lather than tho delay of waiting In the cold shanty for a conveyance or a doctor. Sulli van had been kept there nearly three quarters of an hour. Attorney Harris tried to bring out evidence to show that the safety valve flue should have led through the roof and Into the open nlr instead of open ing direct Into the confined space of the loft. The witnesses who were questioned on this point snld tho open air flues were preferable but the sys tem generally employed was tho same as tho one which scalded Sullivan. AN EVENING WEDDING. Ceremony Performed at tho Backcock Residence, on Penn Avenue. A very pretty home wedding was cel ebrated last evening at tho homo of Mrs. William Dackcock, of 121 Penn avenue, the occasion being tho mar riage, of her daughter, Miss Georgle, to Hector Williams.
