SUDDEN DEATH OF
BENJAMIN HUGHES
EX MINE SUPERINTENDENT
SUCCUMBS TO PNEUMONIA.
While Attending to Some Legal Bus
iness In the West Side Bank Last
Wednesday lie SufTcied n Chill,
Whlah Resulted In a Heavy Cold
nnd Finally Caused His Death.
Deceased Was General Superinten
dent of tho D., L. & W. Coal
Mines for Thirty-five Years.
HcnJainiM Hughes, ex-gcncral mine
superintendent of the Delaware, Lack
awanna nnd Western company, died at
S.lfi o'clock yesterday afternoon at hta
home. 1201 Washburn street, nfter nn
Illness of only a few days.
His death wns so sudden and unex
pected that It camo as a shock to the
entire community, but fow people out
side the Immediate relatives having
been aware of his illness. Despite his
advanced ngp, his rugged constitution
and regular habits bespoke for him
many more years of usefulness, but ho
succumbed to tho dreadful results of
pneumonia within live days after be
ing stricken.
Last Wednesday Mr. Hughes had an
appointment with a friend nt tho West
Hlilo bank and at 10 o'clock went there
to meet hhn. Shortly after his arrival
he took a chill and was hastily assisted
to his home, where ho immediately took
to his bed and Dr. W. E, Allen, his
physician, was summoned. He pro
nounced Mr. Hughes' ailment a heavy
cold, and was conlident of his ultimate!
recovery, but pneumonia set In and
the patient grow worse, until it was
apparent to all In attendance that there
was slight hopes for his recovery.
A trained nurse was engaged, nnl
everything possible was done to pro
long his life, but tho end came peace
fully, nnd he was conscious almost to
tho last, surrounded by the members of
his family, who had been in constant
attendance upon him. He died as he
lived, at peaco with tho world. Ilia
death is a great loss to the entire com
munity, as he was loved and respected
by everybody who knew him.
. LOSS TO THE CHURCH.
Probably the most affected people
will be found among the members of
the First Welsh Baptist church, con
gregation and Sunday school, where
Mr. Hughes' counsel and advice was as
much revered as within the confines of
his home. For over fifty years he had
been the leader of that flock, serving
them constantly in one capacity or
another, including the presidency of
the trustees, deacons nnd elders, and
for thtrty-flvc years superintended tho
Sunday school work in all Its depart
ments. It was not until the first of the pres
ent year that he relinquished that hon
ored position, feeling that his advanced
age would not permit him to accept
another term, and it was with the
deepest feelings of regret that the
members accepted his resignation. He
continued, however, up to the time of
his dnth In the several offices bestowed
upon him by the church.
Mr. Hughes was born near Bryn
Mawr, Hreconshlre, South Wales, on
October 23, 1821, and came ot a family
Identified for many generations with
the history of that locality. He was
the son of Daniel and Esther Hughes,
the latter of whom died at the age of
ninety-sever, and the former at sixty-
eight. The education of deceased was
limited to the knowledge acquired dur
ing a brief uttendanco at tho pay
schools of his native land. When ten
years old he began to assist his father
in the mine, but afterwards returned
to assist In the management of his
father's business.
In tho fall of 1818, when twenty-four
years of age, ho left Liverpool, and
after a voyage of thirty-six days, dur
ing which he had a narrow escape from
drowning, arrived In Philadelphia, and
afterwards went to Potts ville. Theio
he was employed in mining; for the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad
company until January, 1830, when he
came to this region and entered tho
employ of the Scranton Iron and Coal
company. That position he resigned In
July, 1833, to accept a position with the
Delaware, Lackawanna and AVestern
company in the Diamond mine.
INSIDE FOREMAN.
In 1833 he was appointed inside fore
man of the Diamond, nnd remained In
that oosltlon until 1S62, when he ac
cepted a better position at the Luzerne
slope in the North End. While en
gaged at tho last named plate, Mr.
Hughes was selected by the late J. J.
Albright fo conduct a prospecting tour
in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. In thl3
capacity he arranged several leases for
extensive mining interests and when
he returned to Scranton at the con
clusion of his mission was appointed
superintendent of the Storrs shaft,
operated by tho Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western company.
In 1RG5, Mr. Hughes was promoted to
be general mine superintendent under
the company. In which capacity lie
served until July 1, 1899, when he re
signed. At the time he became con
nected with tho company there were
only five shafts here, but this number
has since been lncerased to thirty, with
twenty-one bieakers.
During all of this lenghty period Mr.
Hughes was one of the most success
ful mine experts In the anthracite re
gion and his advice was constantly
sought by operators nnd superintend
ents of other mines In cuses of diffi
culty, where his skill and extensive
experience always proved of supremo
value. As an ofTlcer of a great cor
poration, having under his chifrge
thousands of men Mr. Hughes was
singularly successful. While faithfully
adhering to the Interests of his em
ployers, ho was over ready to listen
to tho complaint or application of the
men who . wero under his cave, nnd
It may be surmised that the number
of callers with real and imaginary
grievances were sufficient to require
tho exeiclsa of more than ordinary
patience. Nevertheless, Mr. Hughes
was never found without a genial smile
and kind greeting and listened patient
ly to all comers and, whether their
mission was successful or not, his visi
tors departed with a favorable Im
pression of a man who was willing to
tecelve them at all hours.
In West Scranton the name of Ben
jamin Hughes was more than the pro
verbial "household word." We was al
ways loyal to the West Side, its people,
Its Interests and institutions, and as
sisted In a material manner to the
marvelous growth of the Important
suburb pf Scranton. Above all other
Institutions, however, his constant at
tention was earnestly devoted to tho
development of the First Welsh Bap
tist church, on South Main avenue. In
this direction eternity alone will re
veal the fruitful results of his work.
As superlntrndcnt of the Sunday school
for n number of years ho was never
content unless planning and arranging
some feature for tho extension of the
work, nnd by theBC means lie Imparted
so much of his undoubted eneigy Into
the Institution that its progtcss from
year to year Indicated in n substantial
manner the worthy, excellent and last
ing work of Its faithful superintendent.
His cardinal point In conducting tho
school was "Example: Not Precept,"
and he furnishes a great example ot
the value of the tnto saying. Ho
strove to be punctual nnd regular In
attendance and thus Impressed the
golden rules upon the teachers and
scholars. He always showed his will
ingness to perforin In a thorough man
ner nil tho duties of his olhce, even to
the most minute details, and In this he
expected the large corps of teachers
to do likewise, Jn this respect his ex
ample wus also Inculcated and the
passing years In recording the prog
ress of the school, have proved the
wisdom of his methods. After having
accomplished the desired ends In Sun
day school work, he resigned in favor
of one of his most nrdent supporters,
A large number of the Baptists of the
West Side and other sections of the
city, ns well ns those who havo left
for various portions of the ,world, have
always testified to thi thoroughness of
Mr. Hughes' work ns a Sunday school
teacher.
A PRIZED ADDRESS.
In his life nnd teachings Mr. Hughes
wns a Christian first and a Baptist
afterward. In 18S7 the -young men of
his class presented him with an il
luminated address, as a slight token
of their deep and sincere appreciation
of his sorrvlces and Mr. Hughes said
of the address: "I prize that more
than any gift ever given to me outside
my family," and ho explained the lea
sons for his preference by stating the
gratification It gave him to witness
tho young men who had sat under his
discipline grow up Into a life of use
fulness and consecration, and that he
could reflect upon the onany happy
hours spent In their company and en
joy the thought that his slight services
had been of some value. But when,
he added, they came and thanked him
and showed that they appreciated his
work, it was easy to surmise why he
expressed some pride as the receiver
of the address.
As president of the official board of
the same church Mr. Hughes rendered
Invaluable services and It has been a
matter of comment that, while a strict
disciplinarian, his ripened intellect has
always kept under control any pre
mature step which might be proposed
In church administration. His liberali
ty In the cause of religion, und partic
ularly to his own church, will never
be known, as ho acted upon the prin
ciple of always giving according to his
ability While encouraging others to
subscribe liberally he never forgot to set
an example which compelled others
to follow. The First Welsh Baptist
church loses In him their greatest pil
lar. In all respects ho was eminently
a leader and It will be absolutely Im
possible, at all events for the present,
to supply his place. Tho members will
mourn his loss as a family would
mourn the loss of an affectionate father
and a wise counsellor.
ASSISTED THEM ALL.
Although a devoted and strong Bap
tist, Mr. Hughes, however, rns al
ways ready to assls"t other churches
and found it impossible to turn a deaf
ear to appeals for any charitable and
deserving object. His philanthropic
work was not confined to religious In
stitutions, and it would be Impossible
to enumerate the many Institutions and
organizations which he has befriended
and supported. As president of the
Hyde Park Welsh Philosophical society
ho has upon many occasions showed
his zeal In th' cause of assisting the
young men of West -Scranton In the
work ot self-education and mental Im
provement. In other directions he ha3
shown his desire to encourage the Us
ing generation to avail themselves nf
the opportunities to Improve their po
sitions, and there are numbers of
young men, ready to attest their suc
cess In life to his ready advice and
willing assistance.
Before leaving Wales, Mr, Hughes
married Miss Mary Davis, who accom
panied him to this country und re
mained hero until her death on Octo
ber 6, 1SS0. Of their children, live
daughters are living, namely, Mrs.
Esther Evans, widow of Rev. John
Evans, of Westerly. R. I.: Mrs. Eliza
Jones, widow of Luther Jones; .Mrs,
.utile Eynon, wife of A 11 Eynsn,
cashier of the West SIdi bank; Mrs.
William Stephens and Mrs. Jen'dn T.
Reese. In November, 1SS1, Mr, Hughes
married Mrs. Ann Rosser, or Shamokln,
who also survives him.
Daniel, a brother of Mr. Hughes,
died at the age of sixty-six years;
Evan, another brother, was killed in
the Avondalc disaster, and Ellas, also
a brother, died in West Plttston In Sep
tember, 1894. Three sisters survive him,
Charlotte, of Pittsburg: Rebecca, in
Wales, and Mrs. Rachel James, of1
North Hyde Park avenue. Fourteen
grandchildren of Mr. Hughes' are liv
ing. Mr. Hughes was one of a family
of twenty-one children, all of whom
lived to enjoy long life. His second
wife, who survives him. Is over eighty
years of age, and has been an invalid
for several years, and Is now In an
enfeebled condition.
MEMBER OF COUNCIL.
In 1859 Mr. Hughes was elected a
member of the council of the borough
of Hyde Park and served until 1802.
In 18C1 he was schooUdlrector; and for
three years was a member of the select
council of Scranton, serving one year
as president ot that body. In 1892 lie

Mr. Hughes' death was announced
while the Sunday school was in session
yesterday afternoon, and adjournment

PASSED UPON FAVORABLY
Thero Is a Strong Probability That
Sub-Postofflce Will Be Lo
cated in West Scranton.
The movement recently Instituted by
the West Side board of trade for tho
establishment of a branch postofflce In
that populous section of the city was
vigorously promoted at Washington by
Congressman Connell and word has Just
been received by him from the post
office department that It has been
passed favorably. The details will be
made known In a few days.
Tho next step which Congressman
Connell will take In the effort to Im
prove the postal facilities of the dis
trict will be In the direction of having
Lackawanna county Included In the
limits of the rural free delivery sys
tem which Is being tried experiment
ally In a number of states. It success
ful this will mean a very great con
venience to residents of the townships
living some distance from the post
ofliee, as it will bring the malls at
stated intervals to their doors. Mr.
Connell Is hopeful that he cun Induce
the department to give the system a
trial In this county.
The new United States court bill Is
In the hands of a sub-committee of the
house judiciary committee. This com
mittee has not yet made any reports to
the house, but there Is reason to hope
that when the present bill shall come
before it for consideration Its uction
will not be unfavorable.
LEBECK & COBIN FAILURE.
Sensational Testimony Given by O.
E. Bradbury, Expert Accountant.
At a meeting of the representatives
of the creditors of the late firm of Le-
beck & Corin, proprietors of the Lead
er, held in the office of Referee In
Bankruptcy Van Wormer Saturday
afternoon. Expert Accountant C. E.
Bradbury testified that there was a
discrepancy of $75,000 between the net
amount of the Inventory taken Just
after the failure and tho amount of
the goods purchased during 1899. This
fact was discovered by Mr. Bradbury
after an exhaustive examination of the
books ot the concern.
Both Messrs. Lcbeck and Corln, who
wero themselves examined later; ex
plained that this was due In a large
extent to the low value placed upon
the goods by the men who took the
Inventory. They contended that In
many Instances that came under their
personal observation this valuation
wns away below the cost of the goods.
They further explained that a very
large amount of "goods wero sold by
them at figures below their cost dur
ing the last few months of their busi
ness career.

that If $300 was left In nn envelope at
a certain place he would see that the
voto was forthcoming. The offer wus
not taken. Mr. Fellows' vote was re
corded against the measure.
The charge against Mr. Maloney li
said to be based on the testimony of
Common Councilman Zlzelman, of the

had refused $150, offered by Mr. Ma
loney, to vote against the Lackawanna

that It was to be expended for the pur
pose of buying police protection for the
slot machines which these parties

Mitchell, Seidman and Woelkers, who
are charged with larceny and receiv
ing, are accused of seizing slot ma
chines in Cassesse's hotel, the Grand
Cntral, Horn's hotel and Callahan's

taurant and never accounting for the
machines or the money they contained.
A further charge Is mado against

South Side saloonkeeper who ran a
slot machine.
