0ATJSj3 NOT KNOWN.
Accident Thought to Have Caused
the Johnson Mine Fire.
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.
Moiils Clark, a Delaware, Lackn
wnnnn and Western engineer, lies nt
the Moses Taylor hospital In a pre
cnrlous condition as a result of a
peculiar accident which befell him on
his way to woik yesterday morning
about C o'clock. 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.

Information furnished by Nuthan Hor

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.
Members of the Scranton Lioderkrnnz
and Their Friends Enjoyed
Themselves in Music
Hall Last Night.
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. In eveiy fentuie It
was the peer of Us predecessors and
in innny It surpassed them.
The opening burlesque wns especial
ly excellent. It was originated and ell
lected by Mr. Elsemann, director of
the Chicago Otmnn Theatrical Stock
company, who lecently became a mem
ber of the Lledeikrnnz. The urtaln

Prince and Princess Carnival, lepre
sentcd by Chillies Bechtold and Miss
Mnitha PIttack, and the carnival fool,
poitded by Mr. Elsemann. The ex
cutlo of the piisoners Is decided upon
and preparations therefore are proceed
ed with. The fool piotest that the
prince nnd princess are wanted at
Music hall to open the thirtieth annu
al ball ot the Scranton Llederkranr,
but the inconsldemte Indians are not
swerved fiom their full purpose oven
by this.
Just as the ax Is lalsed to stiike tho
fatal blow the Scranton 1 ledorkianz
appears upon the scene and continued,
In our next.
At fliht It vns decided to visit Mini
mal y justice upon tho savages, but one
of the ball committee, struck by their
gay and fantastic costumes, thinks
they would be fine acquisitions to the
ball, and instend of killing them off it
Is decided to take them to Music hall
and have them participate In th giand
inaich.
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. Following him were the pilnc?
and princess attended by their foot,
and, then the other members of the
committee, Frank Deckel. Ed. Elsele,
Finnic Preher and Fred Dlmmler. The
Indians and the other Lledorkranz bur
lesquers came next and after them
marched the mnsqueraders in their be
wildering vailety of costumes
Dancing followed, en masque, until
midnight, when there was another
grand maiMi, nnd the unmasking. Sup

stairs, filled In the Intermission, and
after that the spectators were allowed
the piivilege of the floor.
The decorations by Fuhrinan were

COAL COMPANY
IS CENSURED
CORONER'S JURY CHARGES IT
GUILTY OF NEGLIGENCE.
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.

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
