PULLER NOW THE OWNER
HAS PURCHASED THE NEWTON
COAL COMPANY.
Gives Him Three Breaker and ft
Large Amount of Valuable
Coal at Pitta-ton.
A blp deal was effected this week
which proves conclusively that the In
dividual coal operatots who are still
In the business are rather universally
of tho opinion that they have a good
thing-.
While those who have sold out nt a
fancy figure no doubt did well for
themselves, there Is every reason to
believe, as was forecasted some weeks
HBo In The Tribune, that tho majority
of tliDHe who still hold valuable pi op
erty will continue to operate the t-atue
with little Idea of M-UIng to tho sreat
companies.
In this respect the most leccnt deal
Is significant. It Is the purchase of the
George II. Newton Coal com
pany, nt Plttston. by K. !..
Fuller, who, while previously hold
ing a larpe Interest, was not In
control. This company, since tho
death of George 15. Xcwton, some
years oro, lias continued under the
snmo name. Frank T. Patterson, a son-in-law
of the late Mr. Newton respre
scntlng that Interest. Fow people out
side those most directly concerned,
know what enormous suim of money
have boon expended in keeping up
operations, but that tho mines nie
valuable Is evident from the faet that
Mr. Fuller Is now the sole owner, hav
ing bought the remaining two-thirds
of the stock.
These mines include l,r00 or mors
ncrut! of coal, nnd extend fiom
the Clear Spring colliery, across
tho Susquehanna at West Pltts
ton, to tho Babylon breaker
at Old Forge. There are thre.?
breakers, the Seneca, Phoenix nnd
Columbia, tho latter now being con
verted into a washury. The distance
covered by tho company's workings is
something over two miles.
It will be conducted under the name
of the Senaca Coal company, with 15.
Ij, JTuller, president; Henry Slvclly,
secretary, and M. It. Fuller, treasuier.
The mines will produce 500,000 tons an
nually. It is proposed to place many
more improvements on tho property.
The transfer of the general olilce from
Philadelphia to Pittston is now being
made.

HOWELL ON THE STAND
CALLED BY RESPONDENT IN
LUNACY PROCEEDINGS.
Told of His Connection with Hia
Sister's Estate and the Invest
ments He Made for Her.
The hearing in tho Howell lunuoy
Inquiry was resumed yesterday before
Commissioner C. It. Pitcher, in the ar
bitration room of tho court house.
Another large throng was present to
llfcten to tho testimony.
Fianklln Howell, tho relator, was the
only witness examined, lie was called
by tho respondent, and her attorney,
Mr. Newcomb, wanted to Intcrrogato
him as In cioss-esamtnatlon, but tho
contention of Mr. Torroy, attorney for
the relator, that this was not perm!
sable, was sustained lry tho exami
ner, und the lespoutlent.'s sldu had to
be content to examine iilm direct.
Tho questions tended to bring out
that Mr. Howell had, without author
ity, assumed control of his sister's
(Property and made investments fo.
Iher In hla own name that proved wi-
pioiunhle.
Mr. Howell paid lw was executor of
his father's ottato anU when his sla
ter became of age ho continued to
manage her share of the propovty. us
well as his own.
At tho advice of soma liitlmalo
friends, he said, he assigned a num
ber of Insurance policies, valued at
JiD.OoO to s-eeute his sister for any
losses hhe might sustain: by xeason of
his CNpendltuiex. Ho IohL much of his
own estate, he said, In tho same Invest
ments In which he put his sister's
money.
Tho stoek which he I.ourIii with his
sister's money, ho said, wan Usued in
his own name, but It was Intended
that his ulster should iccuivn tho
benefit of the earning'.

FIRE TO BE
INVESTIGATED
MR. CHITTENDEN SAYS THAT IT
MUST BE.
Believes Thursday's Confiagmtlou
Proved the Truth of His Assertion
That the Fire Department Is a
Mob Will Lead In the Movement
foran Investigation Mr. Vauglmn
Makes a Serious Charge A fire
man's Views on tho Fire Mr.
Scrnnton on the Water Question.
Select Councilman C. W. Chittenden,
the father of the ordinance providing
for tho reorganization of the fire de
partment and tho man who, above all
others In tho city, has criticized the
department with relentless severity,
stated yesterday to a Tribune man
that Thursday's fire tdiotitd and would
bo Investigated by councils, nnd Inti
mated that he himself would be the
prime mover In the Investigation.
"That tire, I bulieve," said he, "dem
onstrates tho truth of my assertion
that tho flic department Is purely nnd
simply an unorganised mob, nnd
proved beyond question thnt what this
city wants, and wants Immediately, Is
a paid department organized under tho
plnn proposed in the ordinance which
I Introduced nnd which passed select
council, but which has been held nt
by the tire department committee of
the common branch for some months.
"It was an awful thing to seo build
ing after building In tho heart of tho
business part of the city go down be
fore the llnmcs, nnd to see a flio de
partment, for tho maintenance of
which we have been appropriating
largu sums every year, unable, to copo
with the fire.
"I am willing to admit that the water
company was laigt-ly to blame In this
particular Instance. Tho supply of
water during the early part of the fire
was shockingly poor, nnd I can seo no
excuse for It whatever. After the
company opened Its gates there was n
sulTlclent supply, but that wasn't until
the flro was half over. There was no
excuse for this delay. The company
should have had n man at the gates
ready loonen them immediately after
tho Ih-c started.
THIS MKN Wnm-5 WILLING.
"The men weiw willing, as our vol
unteer firemen have always been In
the past, but there was absolutely no
organization. Each man worked Indi
vidually. Theio seemed to be no head.
Hveryone apparently was Issuing or
dots and very few of these were
obeyed. That's the trouble with a vol
unteer force. The members have no
lesponslbllitles. They realize that If
they refuse to obey an order, nothing
can be done to them.
"tf we bad a paid department the
men would understand that their bread
and butter depended upon their obey
ing orders and not slmplv doing ns
they themselves thought fit and proper.
Tlmro will be n big howl, of course,
alKiut the new apparatus and hose and
other paraphernalia which the fire
showed the city lo be badly In need
of, but I shall vlgoiously oppose the
purchase of any more apparatus until
the department Is organized nlong
proper lines and placed In a position
where tho members of the force can
bo held directly responsible for Its care
and safekeeping.
"Let the members of the common
council profit by Thursday's experi
ence and pass my ordinance providing
for the reorganization of the depart
ment. If the members do not like the
ordinance in its entirety, let them nt
least, take It out of tho hands of the
committee and amend it. I'll accept
any reasonable amendments, and I bo
llovo that tho select councllmen who
voted for tho ordinance will do so also.
"This whole file should lw Investi
gated by councils nnd the responsibil
ity placed where it belongs. There
will be no lack of witnesses. There
Isn't one man out of a hundred who
saw that flio who will not be willing
to come forward and toll about how
grossly mismanaged It was. If It can
be proven thnt the water company
wai at fault to u certain extent, I be
lieve that wo should amend the ordi
nance now pending nwardlntr them a
contract for furnishing water to the
city, so as to Include n. provision that
the rompany shall guarantee a certain
water pressure In case of lire. T favor
this Investigation and will endeavor to
have It started."
MI!. VAl'GHAN'S CHAUGK.
Select Councilman I). W. Vnnghan
siild reganling the matter:
"That lint will Ik Investigated by

It uim giossly mismanaged from start
to finish. There was no discipline at

said!
"It showed the need of a now hook
and ladder, with a water tower attach
ment. If wo had had that nnd had
been ablo to pour a big stream of
water Into tho top floor of the Mat
thews building when the blazo started,
wo could have stopped tho tiro nt
that point. Tho present hook and lad
der is useless and might JubI ns well
h.avo been left In tho house.
"The fire showed the need of at
least 8,000 mow feet of hose, lively
single foot of good hose In the city was
in use ot the lire. Suppcso n, hlnzo of
any slzo started In North Scranton or
West Scranton. We could have done
nothing nnd whole blocks might havo
been wiped out. Not only was every
Mt of hose needed at tho big flro, but
If wo had wanted to take. It away we
couldn't have. It was nil frozen
stilt after about an hour's uso
and couldn't have been loaded Into a
wagon,
"o need nt least f.VKi feet of re
serve hose which, In case of n big flro
could be sent to nny part of tho city
to bo teady for on emergency. Tho de
partment now only has two hoso Jack
ets to put over a break. Wo could
have used u dozen Thutsday In covet
ing breaks In the hose. We havo only
one door openoi. Kach company
should havo one,
Wo should have patent block put
leys to pull several lines of hoso rapid
ly to the roof of a building nt tho
same time. Instead of wasting n halt
hour pulling them up. ns we did on
Thursday. Wo should also have a
large supply of stand pipes, which un
able one man to handle n hose with
ease nnd gives tho other men a ehnuco
to do something else. At present, wo
only hnvo one stand pipe."
Mayor Molt- stated that tho flitj
showed the need of better fac.llltlc.4
for fighting fire and expressed the hope
that the estimates committee would
allow the flii! department sufllclent
funds this year to thoroughly and
properly equip It.
Jilt, SCItANTON'S OPINION.
1 residsnl W, W. Scrnnton, of tho
S,-,or.ton Gas arid Water company,
when seen by a Tiibnno man last night
scouted the Idea thnt the early start
gained by tho I'niues could be In uny
wny attributed to the lack of tho prop
er watir supply tunning through the
mains:
"The regular power was on," h de
clared, "and If there was any trouble
In getting the streams at work on tno
burning buildings It cortninly cannot
bt attributed to us. Anything which
v.U! tho matter with tho hydrants,
moreover, cm surely not bo laid nt our
dcor, as we are not responsible for
the city hydrants. Tho normal rate
of water was b"lng maintained nnd
poor hydrants and kinked hose were
vUint occasioned all tho trouble.
"Wo are not responsible for stupid
ity of firemen In manipulating their
machinery, or naglcct of city officials,
and on them nlone can be visited tho
blame. Wo nro no mora responsible
for the conditions of the hydrants than
for tho plumbing In a man's house.
Our part of tha contract merely Is
to send the water through the main.
When notified, we repairs tho hydrants
for the city al the hitter's own ex
pense. "Tho guuge In our otllt-e, loss than
a block from the the, shewed forty
five lmurids right n'ong. One fireman
complained to our superintendent, Mr.
Heevc-jj, thnt a hydrant was dry and
when ho went to Investigate bo found
that tho fireman simply didn't know
how to open the hydrant. It was- opened
In tho right way and tho water llowed.
"The story to tho effect that we
opened tho gates and lot more water
Into tho mains after tho lire had been
burning for some tlmo is not true. We
had our regulation pressure on oil the
time. One trouble In this city Is that
the nozzles of the hydrants nro tr.o
tmall. They should bo four Inches In
stead of two and onn-half Inchos."
INHALED GAS AND DIED
THOM,-. E. CAMPBELL DIED
WHILE HE 8LEPT.
Coioner'a Jury Decided That He Ac
cidentally Turned on tho Ga.
Came Hero from Pateraou.
Thomas U. Campbell, or Adams ae.
tine, a machinist employed in tho Del
aware, lvickawanna anil Western Ilnll
road company's shops, cnino to his
death yesterday in tho Hotel Coyne
from Inhalln? gas, and whether his
death was sulcldn or nccldntul is a
problem which will never be solved.
Campbell was 4S years of age. Ho
came here about a month and n half
ngo from Paterson, N, J where ho had
gone from this city. He entered tho
Hotel Coyne about 2 o'clock yesterday
morning and was shown lo a bedroom
by the night cleik, I). F. Gibbons.
Tho latter turned on tho incandescent
light in tho ronin and then left Camp
bell. About 1 o'clock yesterday after
noon Mrs. Dobbin, tho hotel house
keeper, called Gibbons' attention to the
fact that Campbell ought to be out of
bed at that hour of tho day nnd the
clerk went upstairs to tbe room.
His knock at tho door received on re.
spunse, and attor a louder one Gibbons
turned tho door knob and entered, lie
Immediately detected u strong odor
of escaping ga.s, and found that the
gas was rushing from tho Jet at u
rations rate. On npponehlng tho bod
he found O.impbojl lying In It, with a
cnlmexpresslnn on his face and no Indi
caltons of nny struggle whatsoever ap
parent. The Bas Jet Is directly above tho
Incandescent light und It may havo
l;cn that in turning out tho latter he
accidentally turned on the former.
Coroner Roberta was notified of the
death and Campbell's remains woro re
moved lo Cuslck's moiguo where the
coroner performed on autopsy. An In
quest was later conducted ut tho Coyne
house, nt which Mrs. Dobbins, Mr. Gib.
bons and P. II, Coyne. Will and Lo
Coyne testified to tho finding of tho
body. On tho body were cards showing
him to bo a member of the Machinists'
union, branch No. 2.10, mid ilti.or. In
bills and sliver were also discovered
on his person, together with a letter
fmm C. Powell advising him to como to
ihls city, which resulted In his leaving
Paterson.
The Jury consisting of T. A. Potter,
F, A. Callahan, J. L. Jordan, William
MeUrlde, Alex Dunn and It. J. IM
wards decided that Campbell camo to
his death by accidentally Inhaling Il
luminating gas. Tho dead man has
two sisters living in Paterson who weto
notified of his death by Chief of Pollco

CAUSED OPPOSITION.
This resolution ns soon ns It was
read stirred up a small tempest. The
majority of. tho delegates were on their
teet protesting against tho adoption
and urging tin passage of a. resolution
unequivocally endorsing everything
that Mrs. Nation has douo shuo'hho
Marted In to use her hatchet In far-off
Kansas. .'Jo great was tho opposition
and so many wore the amendments of
ftied that Mrs. Yost voluntarily with
in ow her resolution.
TJien Mrs. Hnrvoy. of Wllkes-Harre,
presented one upholding Mrs. Nation's
(.ours- and wishing her God-speed In
tho woik which she has begun. This
was adopted, the only opposition com
ing from 'Mrs. Yost and Mrs. Deane,
both of this city.
"I made a fight against Its adoption,"
said Mrs. Yost last night to a Tribune
man, "but tho odds against Mrs. Deane
and myself were too heavy and wj
could do nothing. I think tho resolu
tion was entirely wrong and highly Im
proper for this body to adopt."
During tho course of tho evening ses
sion an address was given by Attorney
Nicholls, of Wilkes-Dane, a well
known temperance worker. In which ho
highly eulogized Mrs. Nation. Among
other things, he said:
