LABORER'S PICK
STRUCK DYNAMITE
BLOW FOLLOWED BY A TERRI
BLE EXPLOSION.
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.

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.

ANOTHER PROTESTATION.
Baptiat Ministers Fllo Their Objec
tions to Boxing Bouts.
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.
