WHECKAQE CLEARED AWAY.
Traffic Was Seriously Impeded by
tho Cayuga Wreck.
It was not until Into Saturday night
that the wreck nt the Cayuga yard
was cleared up miniclently to allow
the use of both tracks. One track was
opened early In tho morning and this
was used by trains going In either di
rection, The cause of tho accident, It ap
pears, was tho misinterpretation of a
slgti.il. A way freight bound west was
ordered to back over on the east
bound track to let the fast west bound
freight (,ct abend of her. An east
bound freight was held a couple of
hundred yards above the cross-over.
Tho fast west bound freight urrlved
before tho local had gotten out of the
way and had to stop. When the local
had been gotten out of the way n
signal was given with the lantern for
the fast freight to como on. Tho en
gineer on ,tho train that was being
held up above the cross-over supposed
the signal was meant for him and
came down. It was a. heavy train
drawn by two engines, the tracks were
wot and the road Is heavllydowngrado
at that point. When tho engineer on
tho first engine rounded . the bend of
tho road and discovered tho train
standing, head-on, In fiont of him, It
was too lato to stop.
The consequence was that the two
engines on tho east bound train and
tho two on tho local, that was stand
ing In Its ath, piled together and
then toppled over and struck the mid
dle of the fast freight that was whiz
zing by on the west bound track. Four
freight cars were thus added to the
mass of wreckage". Only one of the
four engines escaped serious damage.
Fireman Eschenbaugh was killed
while washing1 himself at the tank of
his engine, tho second on tho down
train.
HAD A RICH HALF-BROTHER
Mrs. Sarah Hozlett to Receive An
other $97,000 from Skeer's Es
tateWill Make $110,000.
By another distribution In tho Skeer's
estate to be made today. In Mauch
Chunk, Mrs. Sarah Hazlctt, of this
city, one of tho six beneficiaries, will
be further enriched to the extent of
$97,009. This will make $110,000 she has
received from this estate, but she will
have received as much again before she
gets all that is coming to her.
The estate Is valued at over $1,000,000.
The decedent, Charles Skeer, was Mrs.
Hazlett's half-brother. Ho was born
In Kingston, nnd when a boy went to
Mauch Chunk to work in Asa Packer's
store for $4 a week. He became gen
eral manager of the store, married the
proprietor's daughter, came Into a
share of tho Packer wealth, and at his
death was a millionaire by a good
sized margin.
His wife and only daughter died, and
then he married it widow. He had
made a number of wills, but It was
supposed ho had destroyed them, hr
having so declared some time before
his death. The widow took out letters
of administration, and was about to
proceed to administer the estate when
one of lils old wills was discovered and
offered for probate by a brother-in-law,
named Blakeslee, whom the will
named as executor.
The decedant's half-sisters, -. Mrs.
Hazlctt, of this city; Miss Anna Skeer;
a niece, Miss Packer, and the children
of a half-brother, who live in Blooms
burg, tfpposed the will and succeeded
In having it thrown out, the register
sustaining their contention that the de
cedant had Intended to destroy it with
the others, as was evidenced by tho
fact that it was made prior to the death
of his first wlte and their daughter.
Under the Intestate laws the widow
came In for a half, and the others di
vided the remaining half among them.
Mrs. Hazlett's share under the will
was only $10,000.
Most of the estate Is in stocks, bonds
and real estate. Among tho holdings
were 31,000 shares of Lehigh Valley
stock. The property Is being turned
Into cash as rapidly as possible and
distributed among the heirs. Mrs.
Hazlett's attorney, John F. Scragg, at
tended a sale In Mauch Chunk, Friday,
when some local bank and silk mill
stocks nnd a piece of real estate
brought $10,500. This will also be dis
tributed In the course of a few weeks.

BRIEF MENTION OF
MEN OF THE HOUR
E. S. JACKSON, THE TELLER OF
THE FIRST NATIONAL.
Rev. William Davis, tho New Pastor
of the Bellevue Welsh Calvlnis
tic Methodist Church Something
About the Duties of Fred J. Wld
mayer, Food Inspector Uncle Jnke
Snyder, Official Crier of the Lacka
wanna Courts Alderman John T.
Howe, Magistrate of tho Seven
teenth Ward.
Few men who nre so well known
have had ns little said of them In the
public press ns E. S. Jackson, for many
years receiving teller at the First Na
tional bank. Mr. Jackson Is a gradu
ate of Ann Arbor university, and Is
probably one of tho best educated men
In tho city. He Is first an American
and next a Republican a. partisan of
partisans. Mr. Jackson served In the
army during tho Kebelllon, and was
also one of tho llrst members of the
Scranton City Guard. In his position
at tho bnnk he Is Invaluable, and ut
the teller's window ho has made for
himself and for the bank n host of
friends from the whole length and
breadth of Northeastern Pennsylvania.
He Is a .great lover of outdoor life,
and most of his spare hours are spent
In tramping tho mountains of this re
gion. His companion on these rambles
for many years was a Scotch collie,
named "Prince," who was almost ns
well known ns his master.and for years
accompanied him to and from the bank.
Prince Is now burled In a beautifully
wooded dell on the mountain back of
the Richmond farm, and It Is believed
by many that ho was walked to death.
Though ho has been dead for many
years, he Is not forgotten. A magnifi
cent portrait of himself hangs in Mr.
Jackson'3 library, and many nre tho
visits that have been made to. the
mountainside grave.
Mr. Jackson has four sons, who have
many of their father's characteristics.
Otton, a lieutenant In the United States
navy; George, a civil engineer In
Michigan; Edward, who graduates
from Annapolis Naval academy next
month, and Harry, an employe of the
First National bank, who will pntor
college next year.
Rev. William Davis, who has been
called to the pastorate of the Bellevue
Welsh Calvlnlstlc Methodist church,
began his duties yesterday, preaching
to large congregations both morning
and evening. In tho afternoon the new
pastor participated In the Sunday
school exercises and made a very
favorable impression, bothns a preacher
and a teacher. His morning sermon
was based on the text taken from tho
first chapter of John, sixteenth verse,
tho theme being "Fullness of Grace In
Christ." In tho evening the subject
was "To Know God," based on the
ninth and tenth verses In Psalm. Both
discourses were In the Welsh language,
and were attentively listened to by the
parishioners.
Rev. Mr. Davis arrived In this city a
week ago with his wife, three children
and sister-in-law, Miss Maggie David.
They are now comfortably located on
Corbett avenue, near the church, and
thus far are well ulcased with their
reception nnd advent to a strange land.
The new pastor Is a native of Swan
sea, South Wales, Is thirty-seven years
of age, and has been tlfteen years In
the ministry. Ho Is n scholarly gentle
man, very refined, and will undoubt
edly prove a valuable acquisition to
the ministerial forces of the city.
Mr. Davis was born In Carmarthen
shire, South Wales, and after a thor
ough common school education entered
the Trevecca Theological college at
Ureconshlre, South Wales, where he
remained four years under the tuition
of the late principal, David Charles
Davls.who was one of the most learned
men of Wales, a deep thinker and an
authority on Biblical study. Owen
Prys, the present principal, at Tre
vecca was also one of Mr. Davis' tutors.
During his college course the subject
of this sketch was one of Hie principal
prize-winners In Hebrew, classics, the
ology and philosophy.
After his graduation, Mr. Davis as
sumed charge of two churches at the
Vale of Glamorganshire, the "Llantwlt
Major" and "Broughton," English and
Welsh Calvlnlstlc Methodist churches.
He remained there three years and
afterwards went to the "Rhyddlngs"
English Calvlnlstlc Methodist church
at Swansea, where he spent two years.
He was then called to the pastorate of
the Aberavon Carmel Welsh Calvlnlstlc
Methodist church, one of tho best
charges In Wales, where he remained
for four years.
He was called to the Bellevue Welsh
Calvlnistlc Methodist church about
three months ago, and enters upon his
new Held of labor with excellent pros
pects for success. The church Is one
of the oldest established In Northeast
ern Pennsylvania, and tho former pas
tor, Rev. J. T. Morris, resigned two
years ago, after fourteen years of act
ive service.
It is everywhereconceded that Scran
ton never had a more efficient, careful
or painstaking food Inspector than It
has now In tho person of Fred J. Wld
mayer, former city controller. When
Mr. Wldmayer assumed the duties of
his office, a little less than a year ago,
ho assured the members of the board

and 15c.

of health that he would earnestly en
deavor to see that the pure food laws
on tho statuto books were rigidly en
forced, nnd he has kept that promise.
Few people realize tho vast amount
of work which this position calls for.
They tead In tho papers once it month
that 1,400 pounds of fish, 300 quarts of
milk, 200 bUBhels of turnips, etc., were
destroyed, but do they realize tho vast
amount of labor the condemnation of
this food means? It means, first of all,
un eaglo eye, and the happy facility of
being In nearly every part of tho city
at tjie same time, figuratively, and It
likewise means tho making of vnrlous
and dlverso enemies, for It isn't every
merchant or markctman that co-operates
with tho food Inspector.
Mr. Wldmnyer has been especially
successful In keeping the city rid of
"bob" veal during the past spring. To
do this he has many times got up from
his warm bed In the early hours of tho
morning before dawn and has Jour
neyed out to the Notch to stop soma
of tho tricky farmers who endeavored
to smuggle tho meat Into the city be
fore the light of day. He achieved such
a record for this that ho has succcs
fully stopped all farmers from daring
to attempt to bring tho veal to the city.
He has one hobby, and that Is milk.
Ho Is possessed of a first-class chemi
cal education and takes keen delight In
testing various samples of milk col
lected by him. Tho newly revised milk
laws now under the consideration of
the board of health are largely the re
sult of his labors.
A3 was exclusively announced In
Saturday's Tribune, Uncle Jake Snyder,
Lackawanna's venerable court crier, Is
to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of
his marriage on the twentieth of next
month. He proposes to make It a mem
orable event, nnd Just at present Is
devoting to Us arrangements every
moment of leisure that tho arduous
duties of his official position will allow.
Uncle Jake has many things In his
make-up that commend him to public
attention, but bis chief characteristic
Is his voice. It Is n real voice. Actions
may speak louder than words in the
ordinary run of Instances, but when
tho words are uttered by your Uncle
Jake In his official tones, you at once
note an exception. It Is worth th2
price of admission alone to hear him
call out for some absent defendant In
the quarter sessions court, when the
buzz and hum of the always crowded
court room demand that he put on tho
loud pedal. Frequently, when he has
had a long list of these names to call
out, with forfeiture of ball to announce
between, persons have stopped on the
adjacent avenues and looked all about
them for tho cause of the terriblo
tumult, never dreaming, of course,
that any such commotion could be oc
curring In the temple devoted partially
to the preservation of tho peace.
What Lackawanna county would Co
without that voice Is something that
those who have the well-being of the
county near to their hearts do not care
to dwell upon. When, at the golden
wedding celebration they wish Uncle
Jake many more anniversaries, It can
be relied upon that they are earnest
und not altogether unselfish.
Alderman John T. Howe, of tho Sev
enteenth ward, Is one of tho most con
spicuous of the city magistrates. For
four years he has filled the office of
Justice of the Seventeenth, and his five
years' term will run out In a year.when
he will be a candidate for re-election,
and will In all probability bo again
chosen for tho office. Alderman Howo
succeeded Alderman Post In the posi
tion, and since he took 'the office has
done an enormous amount of Rider-
manic business, civil nnd criminal alike.
Marriages have been one of his special
ties and so far he has Joined in wed
lock about seventy couples, ranging in
age from blushing youths and damsels
Just of age, to men and women near
lng the sixties, both of whom had had
several previous trials at matrimonial
life.
The alderman Is a veteran of the
Civil war, enlisting as a private and
coming out with his sergeant's stripes.
He saw service In some of the hardest
fought engagements, and came from
the war equipped with a full stock of
Johnny Reb stories. He takes an act
ive part In city Republican doings, and
Is one of the stnndbys of most promi
nent Grand Army of the Republic men
hereabouts.
Another Scranton Enterprise.
Tho "Process Engraving company" !s
the name of a new concern which will
very spon bo started In this city for
the purpose of making nhoto-engrnv-Ings,
half-tone cuts and protogravures
for commercial and other purposes.
Two Scranton young men, who are well
and favorably known In this commun
ity, are devoting their energies to this
new enterprise, and it is affirmed that
in perhaps two weeks they will be in
condition to solicit orders for this work.
Mr. G. B. Uthman, who has until re
cently conducted a wholesale paper
business under the stylo of Uthman
Paper company, will be the business
manager of the new company, and Mr,
A. I. Hollander, who has had consider
able practical nnd technical experience
In the secret processes of the business,
will be tho Inside hustler. Mr, Uth
man has volunteered no Information
as to the financial backing of the con
cern other than to Inform us that a
considerable amount has been Invested
In new and Improved machinery, and
that ample capital will beiforthcomlng
from time to tlmo to assure the suc
cessful operation of the business. Tho
combination of enterprise, courtesy,
practical knowledge and ample capital
should guarantee ultimate success to
the new company. We are informed
that the business will be conducted as
nearly as may be possible on a strictly
cash basis; and the most conservative
bulness methods will be adopted. It Is
greatly to be hoped that nothing will
prevent a largo share of tho trade In
this vicinity from drifting to this en
terprising concern.

Judge Ewing on Christian Science.
Our readers, who have seen tho ad
vertisement of Judge Ewlng's lecture
on Christian Science displayed else
where In this Issue, will be Interested
In the following;
The enthusiasm with which Judge
Ewing, of Chicago, was greeted upon
the occasion of his lecture on Christian
Science, at the Central. Presbyterian
church, Thursday evening, March 22,
'has not been excelled since the days
when Mr. Bryan visited Denver in 1830.
No lecturer who ever visited Denver
was greeted by so large an audience.
The great auditorium of tho church
was wholly inadequate to accommo
date those who sought admission. The
sidewalk in front of tho church was
black with people an hour and a halt
before time for the lecture, and hun
dreds of people were turned awny, un
able to got within hearing dlstanco of
tho lecturer. (Denver Evening Times.)

THEIR NARROW ESCAPE.
George Clarke and His Driver Just
Missed Being Injured.
George Clarke, of West Scranton,
and his driver, had very narrow es
capes from serious Injury on Saturday
morning. They were driving down the
incline leading from the westerly end
of the Roaring Brook bridge to Jeffer
son avenue when they beard a clash
behind them. Looking back they saw
a maddened horse tearing down the
hill dragging a badly wrecked single
wagon after It.
Mr. Clarke took the reins from tho
driver's hands and pulled his team In
to tho curb. The runaway swerved to
one side as it came towards them,
and In doing su tripped and fell, one
of the shafts penetrating his body.
The wagon was thrown Into the air
and passed completely over Mr.
Clarke's carriage Just missing It by a
hair's breadth. Had It struck, both
men would have undoubtedly been In
jured. The horse, which belonged to Belles,
the liveryman, was attached to a
wagon of the Philadelphia Grocery
store, and which started on its Journey
nt the east end of the bridge, bled to
death in a few minutes from the wound
received from the shaft.
FIRE AT BLAZING STUMP.

The flames spread rapidly and in.
