Four Men Injured by Flying Pieces of Rock Throe of Thorn Aro in a Very Sorious Condition Foreman Boozy, Who Had Chargo of tho Men, Escaped with Slight Injuries. Men Wero Working on the Now Pipe Lino Cutting at Elmhurst for tho Scranton Qa.n and Wator Co. Four men wero injured, three seri ously und one slightly, yesterday morn ing by nn explosion of dynamite at tho scene of the new pipe-line cutting, now being made by the Scranton Gas and Water company, near Elmliuist. The Injured arc; Anthony Forrori, Italian Laborer. Luigl Scarini, Laborer. Francesco Grippo, Laborer. Patrick Beezy, Foreman. The first three men aro now at the Lackawanna hospital, and Ferrcrl anil Searlnl nro In a precarious condition, though Dr. John Corser, senior house surgeon, has hopes of their ultimate recovery. Grippo Is only cut and bruised about the face and chest, but may lose hla eyesight from the effects of the concussion. Foreman Ueezy, who resides at Ktmhiirst, Is only bruis ed nnd slightly marked by Oylnj? grav el. He will be at work again today. Scarlnl Is the most dangerously In jured of the quartetto. Itm fuc an Dr. Corser expressively puis It, "wai like an open rose." The mouth and chin aro cut and bruised out of all sem blance. The Hose and upper lip nre ter rible to behold. Tho right eye Is en tirely destroyed and the left little bet ter. His cheeks, neck and scalp are also cut and contused. It took con siderable time for Drs, Corser and. Gates, of the hospital, to urrange the man's features so that they would bo presentable. If he recovers he will be totally blind In the right eye, and small hope Is entertained ot saving the left. He Is an unmarried man. CAUSE OP ACCIDENT. Ferrerl, who In all probability caused the accident, la not so seriously In jured. He has an eight-Inch, half-moon-shapod scalp wound Just above the left ear, which may have been made by the pick ho held when the explosion occurred, and which was thrown upward and out of his hands. Ills right eye ball Is terribly lacerated, and ho can barely see with his left. His face, neck nnd scalp are also cut and contused. He is married and has two children. The three men aro resi dents of the Italian community at Bunker hill, Dunmore. From nn Interview with Superintend ent Robert Reeves, It was learned that tho laborers themselves are to biumo for the accident. When Superintendent Heeves was notified of tho affair he went up to Elmhurst Immediately, made nn Investigation, and held a talk with Foreman Beezy at his home. This is the Substance 'of the hitter's story: The pipe line, which Is a new one, Is being cut from the big Elmhurst reservoir, nlong the creek, on the Erie and Wyoming Valley railroad side, and down towards Scranton. Just below the Erie and Wyoming Valley station a bed ot rocks was struck and blast ing berame necessary. Wednesday af ternoon, Just before quitting time, sev eral holes were charged with the in tention of blasting and then clear away the debris In tho morning. After all was ready It was found that the charges would not explode, being too cold. It .was decided to wait until morning and then try again. The work of cutting extends ubout a mile In length and about 200 men are always at work thereon. STARTED TO DRILL. Yesterday morning about 7 o'clock the men were started above and below tho Joint where the blasting was being done and Foreman Beezy, assisted by sonio workmen, started to drill new holee, intending to leave tho old holes as they were. Tho three men who were afterwards Injured kept crowding too close to the placet when the charges were In, and wero warned back twice. While Foreman Beezy was busy and his back was turned, they got close up again, Ferrorl leading. A few mo ments later tho explosion occurred and It is 'thought that Ferrcrl had stuck his pick Into one ot the holes. It Is not known whether the charge ex ploded or Just the fulminating cap, an either would do the injury resulting. The effects ot the explosion were all on the right hand side of tho men, and, although there were about forty men In the danger zone, no others were hurt. Tho injured men were given such aid as was possible at tho time and later were brought here to tho hospi tal in wagons furnished by Charles Uattnyllo and the water company. FIRST WEARING OF THE KIND Was Hold Before Reforeo 0. A. Van Wormer Yesterday. Beforo Attorney C. A. Van Wormer, the local referee under the provisions of the now bankruptcy act, a hearing was neia yesteraay in the case of C. M. Sandcrwn and II. AV. Bellman, who ask for a final discharge In Insolvency. It Is the first hcarlnr of tho kind held before Mr. Van Wormer. Some tlmo ago they were In tho coal business at PIttston, under the title of the Phoenix Coal company, and be came insolvent. The petition sets forth that the liabilities of the company were 178,000 and tho assets nothing. The final discharge of the petitioners Is opposed by the Second National bank, of Wllkes-Barre, and tho People's Savings bank, of 'PIttston, creditors of the company. Messrs. Sanderson and Bellman wero the only witnesses ex amined yesterday. Another hearing will be held on Feb. S. TUCKER & MAXEY FAILURE. It Is Now Beforo the United States Bankruptcy Court. Tho recent sensational failure of Tucker & Maxey, who conducted a gen eral store nt Carbondalo for a short time, Is now before Referee C. A. Van Wormer, of the bankruptcy section of the United States district court. A schedule of the liabilities and assets of the firm was filed with Mr. Vun Worm er yesterday. It shows that tho Indebtedness of the firm is $33,?.S'5.81, and the assets $2,575. 20, Tho bankruptcy proceedings in this case wero brought by the credit ors and are of the character known as Involuntary. Beforo the proceedings are ended some very sensational de- vcloptnonts are looked for. Soon after tho failure Tucker & Maxey wero In dicted for conspiracy and larceny by bailee nnil the cases acalnBt them aro now pending. They wero on tho list for this term but wero continued early this week. m HORSE FOUND DEAD. It Boro Every Evidence of Having Been Badly Treated. A gang of machinists ot tho Del aware, Lackawanna and Western rail road company returning to their homes last night from work found at tho Tripp raVIno on Xorth Main ave nue, West Scranton, a horse and bUBgy without any driver. Tho carriage and harness wero badly shattered and the animal plainly evidenced the horrible 111 treatment It received. The meu decided to proceed further and notify tho police. Patrolman McColllgan was met and informed of the affair. He hastened to the ravine. Reaching there he found the horse dead, minus tho carriage und harness. The head of tho animal was sticking through the boards of tho fence on the end of the ravine. The body was still worm. Detective Molr will pursue tho case. ANOTHER- PORCH THIEF. Entered tho Home of Colonel Boies Last Night and Succeeded iu Getting1 a Considerablo Amount of Booty. While tho family ot Colonel Boies wero at dinner lust evening a burglar of tho "porch climbing" variety was operating on the second floor with con siderable success, lie secured one gold and one silver watch, two pearl breast pins and ono diamond and ruby ring. He would bavo secured a much richer haul had Mrs. Boles' diamonds nnd other Jewels not been In a vault nt the Safe Deposit Company bank. It was remarked by one of the fam ily while at dinner that a draught of cold air seemed to be coming lrom tho library where a window had been open ed on account of the room being over heated. This was a reminder to Mrs. Boles that the vault containing valu ables which is near tha library, was open and that some one might, enter, accordingly a servant was ordered to close the vault. On going up stairs afterward It was found that the draught came from the second lloor and that some one bad entered and thoroughly ransacked three bedrooms, notwithstanding that a maid was sitting in a room where she was in full view of them all the time. The entrance was made from a win dow In the front of the house opening Into Miss Boles' bedroom, which had been readied by the trellis and porch. An ofllcer was summoned but the only clue found was the foot prints of a man in the snow. DISTRIBUTING THE BOOKS. Executive Committee of Firemen's Fair in Session.

HAVE PURCHASED A WATER COMPANY SORANTONIANS PAY A BIG PRICE FOR IT. Attorney R. H. Patterson and Josoph Jorrnyn Aro at tho Head of a Com pany That Has Paid $235,000 for tho Carbondalo Water Company, Which Is Capitalized at $23,000. Proporty Owned by tho Company. It Has an Almost Inexhaustible Supply of Water. Attorney R, H. Patterson and Joseph Jermyn, of this city, wero In Carbon dalo yesterday afternoon, when they closed a deal for tho stock ot tho Crys tal Lake Water company, agreeing to pay ten times its face value. That means that for the $23,500 capital stock the holders, most of whom are Carbon dallans, will receive $233,000. The ofUcers of the company aro: J. B. VanBcrgeii, president; S. A, Mc Mullen, vlcc-ptesldent; Alfred l'ascoe, treasurer; C. K. Spencer, secrctury. Other large stockholders are Thomas Dutfee, Joseph Bltkctt, Mrs. Harriet Raynor and C. R. Manvllle. President VnnBergen has the largest block of ptock $2,700 which Is now worth $27, 000. John Jermyn heads the capitalists w ho gain possession und who will uso the inexhaustible supply of water com ing under their control to feed a largo portion of the Lackawanna valley. The property Involved Is the Canaan street reservoir, No. ! pond, Bronnell swamp and about 40 acres of land In that vicinity, together with the plpo lines and olllce in Carbondale. The Still water dam und Fallbrook system tiro not affected. The Crystal Lake water company wa3 Incorporated In 1S67, shortly after the conflagration which destroyed half the business section of the town. It was brought about by the refusal ot Insurance companies to accept (Carbon- dale risks. II. D. Judwln headed a committee that solicited funds from tho business men In slices of $300 from those on Main street and $200 on Church street, to provldo waterworks, primar ily to enable them to act Insurance, the furnishing of water at that time being of secondary consideration. Every man that subscribed considered it more of u donation than an Investment. A few years later a hundred per cent, stock dividend was declared, so that the original Investors are now getting twenty dollars for one actually paid In. Tho corporation refused $500 a share for the stock a short time ago. The company had a large force at work all last summer clearing Bron nell swamp, preparatory to the erec tion of a huge dam in No. 3 ravine, which would flood 100 acres. There Is nn artesion well in the swamp said to have a How equal to the demands of thl? city. There Is every reason to be lieve the work will go on In the spring as planned. This transfer, coming on top of the option on the Electric Light company's stock at two dollars for one, has re newed faith In the future of Carbon dale. The electric light deal will bring $100,000 into thnt city, making with tho water money $335,000 cash which will have to seek new Investment. GIRLS' FRIENDLY SOCIETY. Spent a Pleasant Evening at tho Homo of R. J. Foster. Tho entertainment last evening at the home ot R. J. Foster, under the auspices of the Guild of St. Margaret, was not only most enjoyable but remu nerative. There was a. very largo at tendance and tho delightful programme was enthusiastically received. Much disappointment was felt that owing to a severe cold Miss Freeman was un nble to sing. Otherwise the programme was carried out In detail. Miss Al len's violin solos were beautifully ren dered and the Insistent encores accord ed her was a proof of the Intense ap preciation which Is telt In a wide cir cle for the work of this gifted towns woman. The duet with Mr. Eugeno Ham was among tho best features of tho evening. Mr. Ham's flute solo was also much enjoyed, Miss Blackman played brilliantly a piano solo, and Mr, Thomas Glppel's tenor numbers came In for hearty applause. Previous to tho muslcale, Miss Pad dock, of Philadelphia, gave a talk. Her charming personality and pleasing manner added much to the Interest taken In her subject, which related to the work of tho Girls' Friendly Soci ety. She gave many valuablo hints regarding plans and purposes which may bo applied to tho beautiful work carried on by that energetic organiza tion in St. Luke's church. The final portion of the evening was devoted to a clipping frolic, when nu merous parkages, whose price ranged from ten ito twenty-five cents were purchased by the company, the denou ment occasioning unlimited amuse ment. The affair was a great success In every respect and will probably be repeated with variations sonio time during the season. KELLY IMPEACHMENT CASE. No Testimony Will Bo Offered in Rebuttal.

Others among tho tellglous denomin ations of tho city aro taking up the matter of opposition to the conduc tion ot boxing bouts In tho city. The most recent protest to that effect was the one filed with Sheriff I'ryor yester day by tho members of the Baptiat Ministerial Conference and Blgned by Rev. W. G. Watklns, secretary of the conference. Following Is the text ot the commun ication sent: 1G33 North Main avenue. Hcranton, Pa .Inn. 31, 1SW. Mr. C. E. Pryor, Sheriff of Lackawanna County. Dear Sir: At a meeting of the ltaptlfct (Ministerial conference held yesterday, Jan. 30, 1S90, a resolution was adopted strongly contemning nrd protesting against tho recurrence of the prUo fights or so-called boxing exhibitions which oc cur from tlmo to time In the city, and within your Jurisdiction. Tho secretary of tho conforcr.ee was Instructed to con voy to you the sentiment of the meeting and respectfully request you to exercise the high powers ot your olllce In enforc ing the law relative to this matter. i ours very sincerely, tltev). W. G. Watklns, 'Weretary of tho Conference WILL CAUSE NO DISMISSALS Police Force Matters Will Adjust Themselves Satisfactorily. As the matter is viewed In city hnl!, the home-coming of Chief ot Police Robllng and Patrolman Day will not result In any dismissals from the pollco force. They wilt not bo mustered out until about tho first of April, It is safo to say, considering that they aro to bo retained on furlough for thirty days after leaving1 camp, and by that tlmo the appropriation ordinance, It Is ex pected, will have made provision for the appointment of a number of new policemen. Fifteen are asked for, and it is onfldently thought that two at least will bo allowed. This will make place for Patrolmen MeColtlgan and Collins, tho last appointees, or tor Cap tain Robllng and Sergeant Day, as tho case may lie. Councils passed a joint resolution reserving tho places of the latter two, so It Is proper to consider 'Patrolmen McColllgan and Collins? as the ones to be provided for. Captain Robllng will, of course, re sume his place at the head of tho force, Thief Gurrell's uppolntment having been made only temporarily, and, It might be added, much against his wishes. How long Captain Robllng would be continued as chief depends. THEIR FIFTH ANNIVERSARY Observed by tho Members of tho Zenith Literary Society. R. D.
