HE CUT HIS THROAT.
Edward Gallagher, of Oak Street,
Made an Unsuccessful Attempt
ta End His Life Yesterday.
Edward Gallagher, living on Oak
street, at the corner of Cuslek ave
nue, made an unsuccessful attempt to
end his life yesterday morning. Ho
made two slnshes across his throat
with a razor in his suicidal effort, but
owing to the unsteadiness of his hand,
duo to a debauch, the wounds did not
reach a vital part.
Gallagher Is a miner and worked at
the Leggetl's Creek mine, hut Blnec
getting his pay two weeks ago has
not been in the mine, but has spent
his Hint- mostly In the saloons. Ills
wife, afraid of him, took her two chil
dren and went to the homo of her
mother. Mrs. Slowle, nearby, but each
day would go home and prepare meals
for her husband,
Saturday Gallagher received word
to return to work or else take his
tools from the mine. This made the
man realize the position he was In and
yesterday he left word nt Ills wife's
mother's to call him this morning. This
his wife did and when she started
back to her mother's Gallagher stood
In the doorway and railed her. She
paid no heed to him until he called
again and then, turning, saw him
slashing at his throat with the razor.
She screamed, alarming others In the
neighborhood, and rushed buck to her
husband as he fell. Dr. Sullivan was
called and dressed the wound, stitch
ing up the euts, which are not very
deep. The doctor says Gallagher will
recover.

Judgo Harold McCluro of Lowlsburg,
in No 3.
Tho Scrantqnlan libel case waa put
on before Judgo Edwards. The Unl
lagher murder and aggravated assault
and battery cases from Carbondalo,
and the Mayfleld robbery case wercs
continued by ngteement and this left
Judges Archbald nnd McClure free to
dlsposo of the large number or minor
cases listed for this week.
A continuation was also allowed lu
the case of Coroner J. J. Itoberts
against Lena G. Geble, tho midwife
charged with illegal practice ot med
icine. There is a question as to wheth
er tho statute applies to mldwlves and
possibly tho matter will be submitted
In the form of a case stuted to settle
this question before the trial on tho
criminal chnrgo Is proceeded with.
All tho cases on the list for yesterday
ready for trial were disposed of, with
the exception of four In which one or
the other of the nttorneys In the libel
easo was Interested.
HIS RIVAL KNIFED HIM.
The first case to bo called before
Judge McClure was that or Joseph
Barrlck, Charged with oggravated as
sault and battery upon Matthew Pur
anko, Chief Holding was prosecutor.
The affair occurred in Boulok's
boarding house on Capouse avenue,
day after pay day last June. Earrlek
was calling upon a young womnn to
whom Suranko was very much at
tached, was seated In the parlor with
her nnd Mr. and Mrs. Coulok playing
a game very popular among theso peo
pie and known by the American name
ot einpty-the-cnn, when Suranko eitme
in and became wroth.
How It all started Is not exactly
clear, but It ended In Suranko being
taken to the Lackawanna hospital with
three knife wounds In his scalp, and
Barrick to the station house.
Suranko admits he was drunk but
denies he started the -fuss us Hurilck
clnlm. The latter avers that Suran
ko pounced upon him, throw him to
the lloor and was choking him with
both hands when he drew Oils pocket
knife and cut at his assailant to make
him loose his grasp.
Patrolman Potter, who arrested Bar
rick, testifies the latter told him on
the way to the station house he was
sorry he did not kill Suranko.
A contention of the defense was that
Suranko, knowing he was In tho wrong
did not want to prosccuto and would
not have appeared against the defend
ant had not the iollce compelled him.
Attorney Charles 13. Olvcr appeared
for the commonwealth and Attorney
Frank Loiighran for the defense. Tho
jury was out at adjourning time.
BEFOlir; JI'DCE AUCHEALD.
In court 100m No. 2 Judge Archbald
was engaged In hearing n run of minor
casey. four being tried to a conclusion
before the day was over.
A not-gullty-but-pay-the-costs ver
dict was returned in an assault and
battery euse bmught down from Dick
son City. Jumes Mulderlg was the
defendant and lie was accused of se
verely Injuring n fourteen-year-old
boy, the son of Jacob Libeo, by striking
him on the head with a siprag. Tho
boy was laid up ten days as a result ot
the blow.
The defendant's story of the affair
was accepted by thu jury as a true
statement of the case. It was to the
effect that he was on his way to work
when a crowd of boys, among them the
Libeo boy, began to throw stones at
him. He tried to frighten them oft
with threats and falling in this threw
a sprag into the oiowd, not meaning
to hurt anyone, but simply to put
chase to his tormentors.
Chatles Lawson, a 17-year-old Scran
ton street lad was found guilty ot
abusing a horse which he hired from
Liveryman Joseph Kelly, Sunday, Aug.
fi, 1S;i9. It was alleged by the prose
cutor that Lawson hired the horse fay
ing he wanted to drive to Taylor, nnd
after having it out five hours brought
it back foundi-ivd. Th defendant ad
mitted that ho drove to Olyphant. but
denied that he In any way maltreated
the horse. He further contended that
he noticed and reworked just after
leaving the barn that the horse sweat
ed very easily and appeurcd to be Mck.
The Jury accompanied Its finding with
a recommendation of mercy. He was
fined $10 nnd costs.
Hon. C. P. O'Mulley appeared with
Assistant District Attorney Thomas
for the comonwealth. Attorney Joseph
Jeffreys represented tho defense.

TWO MN KILLED,
MILL DESTROYED
EXPLOSION IN A POWDER MILL
NEARNPEC1CVILLE.
Ciulstopher Birbcck and William
Rolls Were Employed in the Corn
ing Mill of the Consumers' Powder
Company An Explosion Occurred
Yesterday Morning and Both of
tho Men Wero Instantly Killed.
Causo of tho Explosion Is Not
Known No Damage in Pcckvllle.
Over half a ton of blasting powder
exploded with a terrific report yester
day morning, In one of tho powder
mills belonging to the Consumers' Pow
der company at Storrs' Junction, near
Peckvllle, and two workmen named
Christopher Blrbeck and William Rolls
wero Instantly killed.
The Consumers' Powder company has
an extensive plant about one and a
half miles from Pcckvllle, on the side
of tho East mountain. Each separate
process of powder manufacturing has a
separate house or mill to Itself and
the explosion occurred In what was
known as the "corning" mill, where the
compressed cakes of powder are broken
up nnd crushed Into tho various sizes.
This mill was a frame structure
about 18x23 feet In size and contained
tho necessary machinery for this oper
ation. Each mill has only one man who
operates the machinery. Blrbeck wns
In chnrgo of this mill and Rolls, the
other man killed, was engaged In car
rying tho powder to tho mill nnd only
happened to be In the latter at the
time.
CAME WITHOUT WARNING.
The explosion came, of course, with
out warning, at a few minutes before
9 o'clock. The bodies of the two un
fortunnte men were seen by their fellow-workmen
to fly 'into the nlr amidst
the rulna and wreckage of the build
ing, which wns totally destroyed, and
there is no doubt but that they were
both Instantly killed.
The wreckage caught on fire nnd a
flre hose had to be brought and the
blaze extinguished before the bodies
could be taken out. When they were
removed they were burned In such a
horrible manner as to make Identifica
tion almost Impossible.
There was great consternation among
the workmen for a few moments after
tho explosion occurred for fear that
another explosion might result In some
of the nearby mills. The buildings are
so arranged, however, as to make such
an event almost an Impossibility, a
great distance Intervening between al
most all of them, and where this Is
Impossible mounds have been con
structed. The remains of the two men were
removed to their respective homes in
Peckvllle. Hit beck Is survived by a
widow and a number of children, while
Rolls Is survived y a widow.
Blrbeck was about 40 years old, and
had been employed by the company for
twelve years, while Rolls was a young
man who had been working at this oc
cupation for only a few years past.
THE CAUSE UNKNOWN.
Secretary C. 11. Lindsay stated to a
Tribune man last evening that In all
probability the cause of the explosion
would never be determined. He said
that there has never been a powder ex
plosion In which the exact causo had
ever boon satisfactorily explained.
This Is the first serious explosion tho
company has had since 1M)0, when one
man was killed. No damage was done
In Peckvllle by the explosion.
