Read a Paper on the Subject at Last Night's Meeting of the Board of Trade Culm When Properly Flushed in, He Said, Absolutely Prevents Squeezes and Permits the Mine Owners to Safely Rob Pil larsRemarks of Secretary Ather- ton and J. O. Sanderson on Subject. The process of flushing culm Into tho abandoned workings of coal mines and the advantages arising therefrom were thoroughly explained at laat night's meeting of the board of trade by Wil liam Griffiths, mining engineer, and at tho conclusion of his remarks a brief discussion as to the advisability of the general adoption of this plan in this part of the state was pattlclpated In by several of the members present. Mr. Gilfllths, In beginning his ie marks, told of the geheral disadvan tages arising from tho present system of piling clum on the surface; Its un sllghtllness nnd the way In which It pollutes the stt earns and rivers throughout the anthracite region. He said that about 23 per cent, of the coal now mined Is practlcallv useless. He then described at length the pro cess which he said was originated by the mining engineer of the Philadel phia and Heading Coal company In 18S7 for the purpose of tilling up abandoned woi kings In u mine near dhenandoah. The culm, after being ground to the I requisite fineness, Is conveyed to a hopper, from which It Is cairled down a four foot pipe by a stream of water to the portion of the mine It Is desired to 1111. CULM PACKS FIRM. Tho water sinks away and filters to the lowest portion of the mine, from where It Is pumped by the regular mine pumps. The culm, said Mr. Gilffiths, packs ery Htm and Is subject to little compression. One of the greatest advantages to be gained fiom the process Is tho pre entlon of mine squeezes. Under methods now In use about one-third of tho coal In each mine must be left for plllais and there Is always a dan ger of these becoming weak on ac counting of the chipping and peeling off caused by the air. He described at length the progress ot a squeeze and the methods now In use for stopping them, which were, he said, "uncertain, dangerous and pinc tleally useless." The flushing of culm Into the mine will form an effectual barrier, beyond which a squeeze can not pass and, If properly done, fur nishes a posltUe safeguard against a reeurience of trouble In this direction. The pieventlon of mine fires was an other point dwelt upon, Mr. Gilffiths stating that exhaustive experiments hae proved that culm flushed Into a mine In a wet condition is not liable to spontaneous combustion. The amount of extia coal which can be re em ered by the filling of abandoned woi kings with culm and the subse quent lobbing of plllais, while It de pends to a laige extent upon a thous and and one other conditions, must be very large, Mr. Griffiths contended. In such cases, of course, the culm takes the place of the pillars robbed. PROBLEM MUST Hi: FACED. In closing his remarks Mr. Gilffiths displayed a map of undergo ound Scran ton, showing how the entire city Is al most completely undermined. He said that the problem of keeping the sui face perfectly safe fiom squeezing and the necessity of filling in under the places wheie large buildings are to be erected Is a pioblem that must be faced by the boaid of tiade and citi zens at large. While Mi. Gilffiths In this last part of his talk made no ery alaiming statements, there was, nevertheless, an ominous under-current to his remaiks, which made a deep Impression on those present at the meeting. His remarks throughout were Illustrated with ex cellent steieoptlcon views showing views of the exterior and interior of mines where the system Is In operation. Secietaiy Atherton made a few re marks on the question when Mr. Grif fiths had finished, stating that tho matter was one of gieat seriousness and one which should merit the earn est attention of the board. He leferred to the fact that the cheap fuel affoid ed by the culm dumps has always been one of the great Inducements offeied by tjjo boaid of tiade to new Indus tries, and said that If this culm was to bo flushed back Into the mines the boaid would have to shut off this par ticular and very effective aigument. James Gardner Sanderson, who has been verv outspoken In his opposition to tho plan, was present at the meet ing, but made only u few icmarks, on account of the lateness of the hour. He said ho couldn't understand why the present agitation of the question was so pievalent and stated that every particle of the culm now composing the culm banks of the cltv could be used. He told of the gas that Is beln,s produced In New England from culm and how It Is being pressed Into bricks and sold as coal. He thought that If It was necessaiy to fill up abandoned workings for the public safety that giound up slate, ashes and refuse could be used as well as culm. THAT TIME-TARLE CHANGE..

President George B, Smith, of the Krlfi and Wyoming Itnllrond company, rela tive to the changing of that company's tlme-tabtc between this city and Haw ley. President Smith, though he ad mitted that under the piesent arrange ment visitors from the latter place could only spend forty-nine minutes !n this city If they wanted to return tho same day, didn't give the committee much satisfaction. Ho pointed out that passenger traf fic at this season of the year Is very light and that a little later, when bust 'ncss Inci cased, a change might be con sidered. Action on the proposition to chango tho meeting night from Monday to Tuesday evening was Indefinitely post poned, several of the members pres ent thinking that the reasons given for the proposed change were not sub stantial enough. Secretary Atherton stated that the committee on legislation nnd taxes, to whom had been referred the matter of recommending a proposed revision of the laws governing second-class cities, were unable to make a report before the next meeting, owing to the late ab sence from the city of the chairman, James H. Torrey. The resignation of R. M. Scranton and P. H. Jermyn were read and ac cepted and to sort of balance things up, A. C. Fuller and Carl Schoen were elected new members. The next question that the board will agitate was also decided upon last evening. It was presented by C. II. Scott In the shape of u letter urging the boutd to take up the question of lifting the burden of the one cent tax on telegrams and .express packages fiom the people and putting It on the telegraph and express companies, on whom It was Intended to be plnced by congress. Mr. Scott uiged that .the board ask the co-operation of other boatds of trade In the matter. The letter was referred to the committee on legislation and taxes with Instruc tions to prepare a report for the board's consideration. M'COY'S NARROW ESCAPE. Horse He Was Driving: Struck by Engine and Killed. Peter McCoy, a driver for the United States Express company, had a very narrow escape from being struck by n locomotive yesterday afternoon at tho Green Ridge street crossing of the Delaware and Hudson lallroad. McCoy was driving one of the com pany's single horse wagons at about 4 o'clock, the time the accident hap pened. The gates nt the crossing were up, as if no train was appioachlng. and he had Just got beyond them when he wus horror-stricken to see a pas senger train coming around the curve. The horse was bv this time on the track and McCoy, with admirable presence of mind, leaped out und to one side of the track Just as the loco motive stiuck the animal. He says himself that so near was he that as he Jumped the engine actually brushed against his coat. The horse was In stantly killed, 'being frightfully man gled, and the wagon was smashed con siderably. McCoy, however, escapeJ without Injury. FIRE IN D. AND H. STATION. Occurred in an Unoccupied Room on the Fourth Floor. About 7 o'clock last evening flro broke out In one ot the rooms on the fourth floor of the Delaware and Hud son ratlioad station on Lackawanna, avenue. The room contained nothing but boxes of drawings and other pa peiE. With the exception of a box of drawings burned, and the floor par tially burned tluough, no damage was done, a the blaze was quickly put out by the mombeis of the Nay Aug engine company nnd of the Hook and Ladder company, who arrived on tho scene shortly after the file started. Tho blaze was seen by C. C. Ferber, from his home on Mifflin avenue, and he immediately telephoned the Nay Augs concerning It. On the latter's arrival at the depot they found tho mom filled with smoke nnd flames, but soon bad the flro out. The exact cause of the flic Is not Known. BOWLING AT BICYCLE CLUB. First Night of the Handicap Tourn ament Proved a Success. The first night's bowling in the handicap tournament conducted on the alles of the Scranton Bicycle club by the members of that organization, oc culted last night.

The partici pants in the bowling were Warden, Rltz, Ruth, Wallace, Pierce, Foley, Sharps, Bone, Mooie and Pivor. While no veiy high bowling was done during the evening still some very pretty tolling was done nnd, as a good natuied rlvaliy is felt among the par ticipants in the tournament, the le sult was that last night's contest pnned veiy interesting. Foley had high score with 170, and Bone made the highest Individual aver age by scoring joi for the three games. Tonight the tournament will be con tinued. SAFE OPENED AT LAST. Scranton Railway Employes Sue- cecd After Long Effoits. The safe of the Scranton Railway company has at last been opened. After defying all efforts to burn, force, or drive It open for a whole week, tho big Iron door yielded at last, and at 11.30 o'clock last night was triumph antly swung back. A hole had been burned thiough all but the last plate, about six Inches in diameter, and yesterday this last bar was dtllled thtough. Last night chief engineer of the Rail way company, E.

TESTIMONY IN THE MARTIN CASE NUMBER OF WITNESSES ON THE STAND YESTERDAY. All of Them Were Called on Behalf of the Plaintiff and a Number of Others Are Yet to Be Heard Drs. Price, N. Y. Leet and P. F. Gun ster Were on the Stand Yesterday and Testified to the Mental and Physical Condition of the Plaintiff. Said It Was Very Bad. Reforc Judge Joseph Buffington, in the Federal building, the trial ot the trespass case of Attorney John T. Martin against the Delaware and Hudson company was resumed yes terday morlng and continued to oc cupy the attention of the court all day. Only a portion of the evidence on the part of the pla ntlff has yet been heard. The first witness called after court opened In the morning was C. R. Man vllle, superintendent of the Delaware and Hudson company. He was called as for cross-examination to prove the kind of a ticket Mr. Martin was tra veling upon at the time of the acci dent, but was unable to do so. J. H. Feeley, M. J. Langan, R. W. Taylor and T. L. Williams, of Oly phant, testified to Martin's condition before and after the accident. Dr. Walter Reedy testified that he exam ined the plaintiff In December, 1897. for admission to the Knights of Co lumbus and found him In perfect phy sical condition. William E. Watt, of Carbondale, was on the train that was wrecked, but did not see Martin. Frank R. Martin, of Easton, father of the plaintiff, and J. P. Correll, also of Easton, testified to the robust physique of the plaintiff before the accident. The following members of the Lackawanna bar testified to Mr. Martin's ability and his good health before tho accident: Frank Lynch, R. J. Bourke, Hon. M. E. McDonald, Hon. James J. O'Neill, Hon. James C. Vaughan, R. H. Holgate, Clarence Dal lcntlne, Hon. T. J. Duggan, Hon. M. F. Sando, George M. Watson. Ex Sherlff Fahey and ex-County Detective Thomas E. Reynolds also testified to Mr. Martin's robust health. HEARD HIM RAVING. Clarence Edwards testified to hear ing Mr. Martin raving and acting In a violent manner In the Hotel Jermvn the other day. H. O. Knapp, the con ductor of the train that was wrecked, testified that Mr. Martin was a pas senger on it. Attorney L. P. Wedeman, who knew the plaintiff well, told of the appear ance of the man now as compared with his appearance before the acci dent. W. J. Welsh, who represents the Northwest Life Insurance company here, testified to the expectation of life of a man of Mr. Martin's age, that Is 46, as shown by the actuaries table in use by his and various other Insurance companies. There was a strong ob jection to the admission of this evi dence on the part of the defendant's attorney, but it was over-ruled. Mr. Walsh testified that according to the actuaries tables a man at 46 has the expectation of living twenty-two years and. according to the Carlisle table, twenty-three years. General Frank Reeder, of Easton, former secretary of the commonwealth, testified that when Mr. Martin resided in Easton he knew him Intimately for about fifteen years. He seemed to him a singularly robust and vigorous man. Aftor Mr MnrMn fnmn tn thla rlw Vio witness used to see him about once a year. While he seemed to bo gaining In weight, ho lost nothing In bodily visor. The witness saw Mr. Mai tin after his arrival in the city yesterday. Ho appeared much shattered In health and his face had lost expression. He did not seem to know him and when he mentioned his name Mr. Martin did not appear to remember ever having heard It befoie. MAN OF GREAT VIGOR. A. J. Colborn, jr., said he has known the plaintiff for about nine vears and he seemed to be a man of great vigor and health. Some time after the acci dent he visaed Mr. Martin at his home In Olyphant and he found htm a mere shell of Mh former self. To him the plaintiff was a ery pitiful sight in deed to see. He saw him In court yes terday and he tried to conerse with him, but Mr. Martin did not appear to know him. Before court opened Mr. Martin came Into his office and asked for his two children. He seemed to OUR LINE OF Sprinp; Hats K N O X H A T S I S well worth looking: over.

Some fi lends of the plaintiff came Into the office and took him out. Dr. John J. Price, of Olyphant, was called to attend Mr. Martin on the day he was Injured. He found him In bed and suffering from an abrasion of the leg, a cut on tho neck and evi dences of Injury to the back and stom ach. Mr. Martin told him that he was thrown against a seat and some one; landed on his back and In getting up he was cut by the glass of the window. Tho witness described In detail th condition of his patient for the daws succeeding the accident. He saw him from three to five times a day while he was In town. Mr. Martin was grad ually wasting away, because he could not get tho required amount of rest and could not retain nourishment. On tho day after the accident he saw It was a grave affair and called In Dr. Gunster and Dr. John O'Malley In con sultation. Dr. N. Y. Leet was ntso called In. They found the plaintiff was suffering from concussion of the spine. He considers his trouble of a perman ent character. After Mr. Martin went to Easton he paid one visit to him, that was in January. He saw him nt the Hotel Jerjnyn last week and saw his nervous troubles so far advanced that he does not know people and can not carry on a conversation. With Doctors Gunster, Leet and O'Malley he made an examination of Mr. Mar tin at the Hotel Jermyn nnd found him In a very bad condition. The doctor was subjected to a long and searching cross-examination by Mr. Jessup as to the nature of various spinal troubles, paresis and listeria. DR. LEET SWORN. Dr. N. Y. Leet was called and said he was graduated from tho University of Pennsylvania In 1832 and for four teen years after that was a surgeon In the army. Ho camo here after the war and is now In charge of the Moses Taylor hospital nnd has been surgeon for the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western company for thirty-three oars. On June 17 last, In company with Dr. O'Malley. he went to Oly phant to examine Mr. Mai tin. They made a thorough examination of the man and found him in a verv giave condition. They could stick a pin Into him and he would not wince. Thev found that condition of the spine which has been termed a "railway spine." His eve was sluggish and they could not get him to talk. That was the first time he ever saw Mr. Martin to know him. A few days ago he again saw him In the Hotl .Teimyn and made an examination of him. They found him not only Buf feting from spinal trouble, but from brain trouble as well. "I think tip man will never get well," the doctor said, "and believe It will result In gen eral paralysis. I do not think he will ever be able to ptactlcp law or any thing else. I don't think I ever saw a more perfect wreck of a man. He Is simply living an animal existence." After a lengthy cross-examination the doctor said on redirect examina tion that ho did not think Mr. Martin was In condition to testify in this case. Judge H. M. Edwards said he fre quently saw Mr. Martin In court In the trial of cases and considered him a man who was vigorous both physically and mentallv. Dr. P. F. Gunster, one of the phjsl clans who examined Mr. Martin at his home In Olyphant nnd In tho Hotel Jermjn In this city a few days ago, told of the physical condition of the plaintiff. His testimony was largely the same-as that of Dr. Leet. Ho gave it as his opinion that, whllp Mr. Mar tin may live for a long time, he v ill eventually suffer total disability, both mentally and physically.
