It has been suggested that If Mr. Lane
shall come to lecture for the Engineers'

him on the Transvaal and kindred sub

Skull Fractured and His Body
Crushed by Elevator in Gould
Building on Linden Street.
Peter Egler, of 417 South Irving' ave
nue, was killed yesterday morning1 In
the Oould building on Linden street,
being crushed by the elevator. No one
witnessed the accident, and the man's
body was not discovered until an hour
afterwards.
Egler was employed as a blacksmith
by A. U. Gould & Co., the carriage
manufacturers. He left his work on
the lower floor at about 8 o'clock, and
not coming back in upwards of an
hour, the elder Mr, Gould became In
terested and happening to open the
elevator door on the ground floor, saw
the body lying in the basement.
He hastened down, but the body wa3
quite cold, Egler evidently having been
dead for some time. The skull wns,
horribly crushed, the right leg was'
broken and the body was otherwise
badly bruised.
Before entering Into an explanation
as to how the accident probably oc
curred, a brief explanation of the ele
vator itself .Is necessary. It is very
large in size, being capable of carry
ing several carriages, and Is operated
by the person who uses It. Egler could
not by any chance have stepped Into
the shaft from any of the upper floors,,
as all tho openings are closed with
both automatic doors and gates.
As blood and flesh was discovered
above the arched entrance to the ele
vator shaft on the fourth floor, the
most likely explanation i9 that Egler
was going up on the elevator and that
his head caught in some manner be
tween the side of the shaft and the
side of the elevator. The carriage must
have squeezed past the body, which
then dropped to the bottom of the
shaft, a distance of about fifty feet.
Egler was undoubtedly killed almost
Instantly.
The remains were taken to Cuslck'i
undertaking establishment, and Coro
ner Roberts notified. The latter ar
rived during the evening and ordered
that the body be kept at Cuslck's until
this morning, when he will empannel
a Jury and have them view the re
mains. ATLANTIC LEAGUE.

GRAND JURY INDICTED HXK
FOR MURDER.
True Bill Also Returned Against
Feter Chlpriano, Charged with the
Murder of August Catanose at
Jessup, Last January Alleged
Anarchists Indicted for Felonius
Wounding Election Fraud Case
Against Alderman Kelly and
Others Is Ignored.
Two returns were made by the grand
Jury yesterday, one in the morning and
the other at 4.30 o'clock In tho after
noon. On the strength of a statement
by District Attorney Jones that the
business could not be finished today,
nn order wns made by Judge Edwards
continuing the sessions Into next week.
A true bill was returned against
William Bowman, charged with tho
murder of John Knlerlm, and against
Peter Chlpriano, charged with the
murder of August Catanosa, at Jessup,
January 22, last. Gullhot and Merllcr,
the alleged anarchists, charged with
shooting Police Officers Keyes and
Snyder, of Dunmore, were indicted for
felonious wounding.
An Ignored bill was returned In the
case against Alderman John P. Kelly,
Constable J. W. Clarke, Deputy P. F.
Ryan and Constable Jacob Ellman, ac
cused by ex-Constable John McHale
with having made and filed a false cer
tificate of nomination from the Eigh
teenth ward. The charge of murder
preferred against Hotelkeeper Thomas
J. Foley, of Prlceburg, by Frank
Zalewskl, whose brother was killed by
a fall from the porch of Foley's hotel,
was again Ignored. An Illegal liquor
Belling case Instituted by T. H. C.
Maloney was thrown out at the cost of
the prosecution.
Decision Is Against Miller.
Judgo Edwards yesterday handed
down an opinion In the case of J. S.
Miller against the Inter-State Casual
ty company, setting aside the Jury's
finding for the plaintiff and directing
a verdict in conformity with the con
tention of the defendant. The opinion
concludes as follows:
"However unfortunate the result
may be to the plaintiff In the present
case, we are clearly of the opinion that
the evidence is insufficient to modify
any of the conditions of the policy,
and that he Is entitled to a verdict
only for the amount of the last pre
mium paid. The point reserved is de
cided In favor of the defendant. The
rule for a new trial Is discharged, and
the rule for judgment, non obstante
veredicto, in favor of the plaintiff for
the sum of $20 and Interest Is made
absolute. On payment ot the Jury fee
we direct judgment to be entered upon
the verdict In this case for the plain
tiff and against the defendant In the
sum of $20 and Interest from Jan. 15,
189C."
At the first trial of the case Judge
Edwards excluded the testimony tend
ing to show that the agent had modi
fled tho clause In the policy referring
'to risks. Binding Instructions were
given for the defendant. Later he re
vised his ruling to admit this evidence,
holding that, contrary to his former
opinion, it was possible under certain
circumstances for an agent's acts to
modify a clause In a policy against
an expressed stipulation on the policy
that this could not be done, and he
ordered a new trial, to give the plain
tiff an opportunity of showing that in
his case such acts were committed.
The second trial resulted in a verdict
for the plaintiff In the sum of $16.34,
subject to a reserved point as to
whether or not the evidence as to
modification of the clause In question
was sufficient. The decision made yes
terduy savs It was not.
C. L. Hawley was Mr. Miller's attor
ney. M. J. Martin represented the
company at the first trial and at the
second trial he and Howard W. Page,
of Page, Allison & Penrose, of Phila
delphia, were the company's attorneys.

Privilege of Examining These Ken
Judge Bufflngton will decide this
morning whether or not the case of
John T. Martin against ths Delaware
and Hudson company in to be con
tinued. Judge W. H. Jesiup made u
motion yesterday for its continuant
on behalf of tho company, but it wa
strongly opposed by Major Evevtt
Warren, Joseph O'Brien and .Nathan
Vldaver, who are the attorneys for tho
plaintiff. If the case goes to trial It
will probably take about a week to
dispose of It.
Mr. Martin Is a member of the Lack
nwanna bar and on April 4. 1899, was
injured while riding In j. Delaware
and Hudson passenger train between
his home at Olyphant and this city.
Hie asks damages In the sum of $109,
000. During tho greater part of thu
time slnco the accident he has resided
at Easton, which was the home of nis
parents and where he lived until ho
came hero to practice law arout six
six years ago. Yesterday he came In
t. court with tho assistance of two
crutches. He was accompanied by Mt
wife and their two children and his
brother.
SELECTED A JURY.
When court opened in the morning
Judge Bufflngton suggested that a jury
be selected to try the Martin case,
that he might discharge the other Jur
ors on the panel. Ex-Judge Jessup
told the court that he might have to
ask for a continuance, as two of his
witnesses were unable to come Into
court and he had received a telegram
from Mr. Carr, of Albany, N. Y., who
is associated with him In the case,
stating that he would be unable to
come here at this time. Mr. Carr Is
the general counsel of the Delaware
and Hudson Canal company.
A Jury was selected, but not sworn.
It Is made up of the following: W. H.
Baumgardner, merchant. Wells Tan
nery, Fulton county; A. B. Black, dep
uty sheriff, Bloomsburg, Columbia
county; A. J. Colborn, sr., attorney,
Somerset county; James Curry, manu
facturer. Waterside, Bedford county;
Robert W. Darragh, attorney, Beaver,
Beaver county; Thomas S. Hagerman,
artist, Wllliamsport, Lycoming coun
ty; Edward Hlrsch, patrolman, Pitts
burg; Robert G. Madge, Insurance

county; T. J. Nichols, teacher, Orien
tal, Juniata county; Herbert C. Olm
stead, merchant, emporium, Cameron
county; James P. Welsel, farmer, Wll
liamsport, Lycoming county.
APPLICATION FOR CONTINUANCE
After the Walker case had gone to
the Jury at 3.45 in the afternom and
the court was ready to proceed with
the Martin case, ex-Judge Jessup made
a formal application for Its continu
ance. He presented an affidavit from
Dr. S. S. Shields, of Carbondale, which
set forth that Alexander Coplanl,
engineer of the train on which Mar
tin was riding at the time of the ac
cident, was Injured on Tuesdiyin the
Delaware and Hudson round house at
Carbondale and it unable to come into
court. 'He also presented an affldav't
from Dr. F. M. Van Sickle, of Oly
phant, that Martin Crlppen, the claim
agent of the company, Is 111 with ton
silltls at his Hiome In Olyphant. He
prepared the case and Mr. Jessup said
he would be compelled to rely upon
him a good deal during the trial. He
Is also an important' witness and Jtv
defense could not afford to go to trial
without him.
Major Warren and Attorney O'Brien
objected most strenuously to the con
tinuance of the case. They said that
Crlppen was around Thursday and
intimated that they had small faith
In his reported Illness. They charged
that he had told the wife of the plain
tiff at Easton that the case would not
be tried here at this term even If he
had to be sick. Major Warren urged
that the condition of the plaintiff Is
such that' the case ought not to be
continued, that If Crlppen and Cope
land cannot come Into court their testi
mony can be taken at their homes.
Judge Bufflngton decided not to pass
upon the matter until this morning,
and In the meantime allowed physi
cians for the plaintiff to examine Crlp
pen and Copeland. Their condition
will be reported upon today.
THE WALKER CASE.
When court opened yesterday C. P.
Jadwln was put upon the stand to of
fer testimony In rebuttal In the case
of Calvin Bruce Walker against the
Harvey Brothers, of Wllkes-Barre.
The closing addresses to the jury were
made by Major Everett Warren and
Attorney W. A. Wilcox and at 3.45
Judge Bufflngton completed his charge
and the Jury retired. A verdict was
not returned up to the hour of ad
journing. THE DISTRICT COURT.

We have in stock more fine lamps .than we care to carry
at this season. In orders to reduce this s'ock we have cut the
prices all along the line. If vou are in need ol a good lamp at
a low price, NOW IS YOUR CHANCE, we have gas and elec
tric fixtures which can be attached to any of our lamps. There
Is nothing so dressy for a room and nothing more useful than a
good lamp.
