HIS BUSINESS WAS
BURNING BREAKERS
This Is What Poor Henry Drossel
Gave as His Occupation Tho Un
fortunate Man Who Burned tho
Northwest and No. 1 Breakers Will
Bo Adjudged Insane and Commit
ted to an Asylum Hearing in His
Case in County Jail on Saturday.
Henry Dressel, tho unfortunate and
homeless wanderer, who, It has been
established, destroyed tho Northwest
breaker of the Temple Coal arril Iruu
company, and No. 1 breaker of the
Delawnre and Hudson company, in this
elty, by setting them afire lit Decem
ber last has been found to be demented
and will be committed within a week
to an asylum for the Insane.
Dressel's mental derangement was
fully established at an examination by
a commission on lunacy, held In the
warden's oillce of the county jail on
Saturday afternoon. The commission
ers, Attorney Ralph Levy, Dr. II. V.
Logan and Thomas Wnlkoy, all of
Scranton, will make up their formal
report on Wednesday next. The re
port will then be presented to the court
and the necessary steps for Dressel's
commitment will follow.
The examination was conducted at
tho Instance of the Temple Coal and
Iron company.the owners of the North
west breaker, which was the first struc
ture to fall a prey to Dressel's incen
diary torch. 'Charles Hemmelilght, of
Jormyn, a superintendent of mines for
tho Coal and Iron company, was the
personal representative of the com
pany, and It was thiough his activity
in ferreting out the cause of the burn
ing of the breaker that the blame was
"lixed on Dressel. Hon. II. A. Knapp
was counsel for the company and con
ducted the examination of witnesses.
Dressel was at the hearing, an object
of sympathy and pity in Ills unfortu
nate condition.
The examination developed a case
that was a piu'allel to tire one of sev
eral yeais ago, in which the principal
was tiro man who burned the Elm Park
church at Scranton. Perhaps Dressel's
case goes beyond that one, as the for
mer confessed to having attempted to
burn two other buildings, a barn at
the Northwest atrd a building close to
the Eddy Creek breaker of the Dela
ware arrd Hudson at Olyphant. He
appears to have a mania for burning
breakers, and to one witness at tho
hearing he declared that his business
was burning coal breakers.
Dressel came to this section from
Wllkes-Baire about four years ago, ob
taining employment as a slate picker
In the Northwest bi.eaker. He lived'
alone in an old shanty on the culm
dump near the breaker. His meals he
lecelvod fiom Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
Dayson, whose house is also near the
bleaker. Diessel was always regarded
as queer and foolish. One night Day
son heard a noise in his barn, and on
leaching the place lie found Dressel
warming his hands over a good-sized
lire lli.it was blazing up on tho wooden
Moor of the-b.un. He gave no reason
for liis act. Another lime, Dressel
came to Dayson, and (hopping a. piece
of a machine at his feet, lold Dayson
that with the" contrivance he could
mine all the coal he needed to make
him rich. On another occasion, Dressel
chased the young daughter of Dayson
with a butcher knife, pursuing her to
the house. Superintendent Henunol
llght observed Diessel riding on one
of the breaker engines one day and
inquiring irom him his business there,
leceived the reply that he (Diessel)
was going over to the slope to order
the mining of coal stopped, In accord
ance with instructions received front
the Temple Coal nnd Iron company"
"tincture of Iron" company Is what
Dressel called it.
On the night of the burning of the
Northwest, Dressel came to Dayson's
house and asked for a mine lamp, say
ing he wanted to get a barrow o'f coal,
lie returned later, while the breaker
was burning, and us he watched the
Haines that lighted up the heavens, he
said It was "a bloody good Job." Just
before the lire was discovered Murty
Medina, watchman at the Northwest,
met Dressel in tire breaker and ordered
him out. A few minutes later', the
building was in dames.
After the destruction of the North
west breaker, Dressel went down tho
alley as far as "Wllkes-Barre. In the
meniitlnii) No, 1 breaker of the Dela
ware and Hudson was burned, on Sat
in day evening, Dec. L'S. On his return
to the Northwest early in January,
Dressel met Superintendent Henimel
right anil admitted he Hied the North
west In order to get rid of a boss "who
was rro good." lie also told Mr. Hem
ineliight that he was In a breaker at
the lower end of Carbondale and that
he built a lire In It that made a blaae
almost as big us tho Northwest. Dur
ing the same conversation, Dressel told
of having set tiro to one of the build
ings at the Eddy Creek shaft of tho
Delaware and Hudson nt Olyphant.
After the loss of No. I breaker, Dres
sel, while tramping along tho Dela
ware and Hudson niad near Avoca, was
accosted by Foiernan Heavers, of the
section gang, and replying to tho ques
tlon as to what he was doing, said;
"I'm burning breakers now."
Dressel was arrested in a sharrty,
with a nunihor of trumps, In the bor
ougli of Archbald. While he was In a
A BREATHING SPELL.'
If I he consumptive could
only keep from getting worse
it would be .some encourage
ment. Scott's Emulsion at least
gives tired nature a breathing
spell. The nourishment' and
strength obtained from Scott's
Emulsion are a great relief to
the exhausted system,
This treatment alone often
enables the consumptive to
gather force enough to throw
off the disease altogether,

cell In the Carbondale jail, ho told Tho
Tribune representative that ho had a
lamp with lilm In the Northwest break
er pir the night of the fire, nnd throw
It awaj'. He hIho said he was In No, 1
breaker the day that It was burned,
He wns where the lire started, and
had a hard time In escaping.
This is thq story of tho testimony
that was given during tho examination
on Saturdny.
Dr. h. Wehlau, who made observa
tions of Dressel while In tho county
Jail, gave aH his opinion that the man
wuh suffering from dementia.
Dr. S. P. Longstr'eet, Jail physician,
who had better opportunities for ob
serving Dressel, said thnt ho was cer
tainly demented, and In the physician's
opinion he was not responsible for such
acts that were tho consequence of his
hallucinations. Tho burning of build
ings appeared to be his mania.
Miles MeAndrow, a keeper nt the jail,
lold of Dressel holding his coat lrr a
certain position In order to draw the
heat of lire to him.
During the examination Dressel went
on with his rambling talk, threatening
the witnesses and Insisting on an ex
amination or his mind by tho physi
cians present. The members of the
commission were impressed by Dres
sel's own talk that he was demented,
and', together with the testimony and
the opinions of the physicians, they
hud no dlfllculty In reaching the ver
dict Hint Dressel should be committed
to an asylum.
Dressel's acts wero a heavy loss to
tire community. JJeslde the loss on
No. 1 breaker, which was estimated at
$40,000, its destruction threw their
several hundred men ami boys out of
employment for three months. The
loss of their wages was severely felt
and was the chief element in the de
pression that has worried merchants
in tills city tills whiter.
The burning of the Northwest was
a total loss, and as yet has not been
replaced, most of the men In that vic
inity still being out of employment.
