(TO THE SCRANTON TRII3 UN JjJ-WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 33, 1899. $ "On the Breakfast Tabto i ONE LITTLE LUMP OF GOLD Concluded from Page 7. 1- eJ. It Is not contaRlous, but the con ditions which produce It infect all with in reach. One after another was stricken on the Icc-Iocked ship. In their case, a lnck of fresh vegetables and the fetid nlr of the cabin produced the dlsaose. Cit ric acid was administered in boiled water and Dr. Vetter prescribed and nursed the sick men. He amputated the toe of one who had been horribly frozen and finally when this man, Mr. McCall, and the mate died ho nfsisted in makinpr the coffins and thawing the earth with ilres to make their Braves. DIFFICULTIES OF BUIIIAU They could' not be burled for nearly r week because of the difficul ties of Interment. Then he placed bent withes of wood close across the boxes en that dogs could not scratch loose the t'askets of the sleepers Over the for lorn graves he said the prayers and spoke the last words. Then he fell sick, although caring for the others, three of whom, including Hhln?hart, his bunk companion, died. Of their, bur ial he knows nothing. Then the two men who were camping up the river returned and nclpeu to nurse the stricken ones. Bui they kept continually torturing their patients with boasting complnints of how much they were doing for them and refused to give the necessary care. Dr. Votter In desperation said: "If all these poor follows had been such as vou I should have loft them and gone to th mission for I was the last to fall sick." For the first time In telling his story as the memory of all his awful hard ships, the selfdeninl, th rang and cruel winter, came over him, Dr. Vetter's voice faltered in the recital and bury ing his face in his hands ho wept, with his wife, down whose chocks the client tears had been coursing. On April 10, the members of the In graham party up the river came down and discovered the awful condition of the survivors and pushed on to Kotee bue mission. Major Ingraham called a meeting asking for volunteers to the rosciii. One of his own men. Itnlph Sheaf, was tho only one who ..fferod. The major himself, with the Missionary Semirs. and a 'few others, Including a chinaman cook and an Indian, started on tho expedition. In the meantime the little handful of dying men only four of them were left on the boat awaited the? relief. Dr. Vetter had reasoned tlint at thp latest the rescuing part would return bv May IS. The date passed and de spnlr settled down upon them, "t never expected to got away," said the doctor. ' Then it was I gave up nil hope. Wo knew' that no one could be found to come to our relief." Apathy suceed rd despair and tho long struggle seemed futile Indeed. On tho 21st Major In graham's party was within three miles nt tho Klk. They came to an ice gorge where the waters were Hooding from the upper rivers. Then occurred one ,f tho bravest incidents In the history of tho Yukon. Major Ingrahnni and one other clambered over the mountain of blocked-up ice and reaching the farther side found the water rushing about its base. T'io major undressed nnd with his clothes hold above his head waded Into the ley flood. More th.m once It almost carried him away but hi-! marvelous courage and that of hip com panion won and after mail!' other hindrances tho schooner was reached. All this was for humanity's sake alone. Just as Dr. Votter had stayed on the vessel and nursed strangers. A LONG JOl'IlNHY. On May 26 the sick men were put into n tent. As soon as the river was clear the Klk set out for Kotzebue mission. Many vicissitudes occurred on the Jour ney to St. Michaels, including the grounding of the vessel and a transfer of ownership of the same. Practical ly, Dr. Vetter has boon since the llrst of June endeavoring to set home. Dr. Vetter, like Murk Twain, Is In u position to state that "the news of his death was greatly exaggerated." He is nt a loss to understand Just how the talo was started. Captain Hibbard of Seattle may havo been the medium of information received from some one who saw tho lonely graves on the slioro of the lagoon. The nugget which Dr. Vetter bring home as a trophy of nearly two years' hardships, wns found nt Cape Nome which is now the center of tho gold fever territory. Dr. Votter says that t-bould he ever go back to the gold fields it would not be ns a miner but as a storekeeper and druggist. "But you won't go back," remarked his little wifo gently but with convic tion. Dr. Vetter was met nt Blnghamton by Mr. Sklllhorn of the I. O. O. P., who is in charge of arrangements for tho greeting. It is proposed fi escort him to liii home where he will be left In the bosom of his family. A reception will bo held at some future date. ' There were hundreds of persons at the Lackawanna station last night ex pecting to meet Dr. Vetter when the I:)0 train arrived. INDUSTRIAL JOTTINGS. t New Houesdnle Branch.

THE INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION Senator Lewis Emery, of Bradford, tho Main Witness Yesterday His tory of the Pipe Line Struggles. Washington, Sept. 12. The entire ses sion of the Industrial commission to day wns occupied In hearing the con clusion of the testimony of former State Senator Lewis Kmery, of Bradford, Pa. Mr. Kmery is an independent refiner, nnd was on the stand. He took as his text that the general discrimination In railroad rates was the basis of mon opoly and charged that it' was through this agency tho Standard Oil trust had been created. Although the old con tracts for rebates had been nullified by the interstate commerce act, he charged that the same system wns sub stantially In effect today. If the books of the railroads could- be produced in court, all he said could be proved. He gave an Interesting account of the building of tho pipe line by the United States Pipe Line company In 1890-01, describing in detail the innumerable obstacles placed In Its path by the Standard Oil company and how they had been overcome. Kvery point had been contested In the courts. Agree ments with railroads, he charged, had been violated under tho pressure of the Standard's influence. In New Jersey several pitched battles had occurred, but In spite of all tho line finally made Its connection with tho Jersey Central flfti' miles from New York. A recent court decision, ho said, would, however, compel the company to go back to Philadelphia, so that In tho end tho railroads had proved an effective bar rier to competition, Mr. Kmery said ho was now Interested In the Pure Oil company which, he Insisted, was not a trust. In this collection he said a great Inlustlcc had been done to Rep resentative Phillips, a member of the commission, who had been represented by a former witness, Mr. Archbold, as having attempted, on behalf of tho Pure Oil company, to effect a combina tion with the Standard. Mr. Phillips had never favored such a combination. Asked ns to his attempt to secure the enactment of a free jipe lino bill through tho New Jersey legislature, Mr. Kmery atated that his experience had boon so disgraceful in New Jersey that he was afraid to tell it. Mr. Kmery produced a contract made be tween the Pennsylvania railroad and an oil company In 1S84 which he claimed proved that the railroad com pany kept tho rate for oil transporta tion up to 45 cents per barrel In re turn for the business of hauling the by products, bezine, gasoline, tar ,etc, which could not be pumped to the sea board, thus giving tho company the power to pipe Its pretroleum through for ten cents per barrel and rendering It impossible for Independent shippers to compete by railroad. He said there was Inferential proof that tho same sort of contracts existed today. Mr. Kmery found the remedy for existing state of affairs In government owner ship of all transportation facilities, water as well as railroad. Discrim ination In transportation rates to fav ored shippers against the general pub lic was, he said, the foundation of many of the most burdensome trusts. Senator Kmery Is the last of the trust witnessed who will be heard this month. There will be only two more wltne.-s'w in connection with tho Standard Oil company. They are to be heard next month. Mr. John D UocKefellor presi dent of tho Standard Oil company Is one of them nnd Mr. deorgo Rice, vhoe complaint was mad the basin of the action of the Ohio courts against tho Standard Oil company will be the other. Mr. Sntnuel P. Gompors, president of the American Federation or Labor nnd Hon. T. V. Powderly, the commission er of immigration, are among those who wil be heard this week. They win testify on general labor topics and on Immigration. Hon. John Wanamaker, of Philadel phia, has been Invited to appear thU month on the subject of the relation of department stores to industry and la bor. THE STATE FAIR.
