Feared That His Chance3 of Recov
ery Are Very Slight.
Homo HllKht Improvement wits re

It Is feared that unless a decided
cIuiubo for thu better cornea soon his
chances of recovery are one In A thou
sand. TO REVISE SYSTEM.
Committee to Formulate Plan for In
suring Prompt Payment to
City Contractors.
A matter which bus long been the
subject of much discussion among those
taking an Interest in the conduct of
the municipal affairs of this city has at
last been taken up by councils, name
ly the necessity of devising a plan
which will Insure contractors for city
work more prompt payment than they
leceix'o under the system now in vogue.
A resolution providing for the ap
pointment of (i committee to consider
this whole question and' to formulate
some plan of improving the present
system was introduced in tlio common
council on Thursday night and was
passed without opposition. Tt will un
doubtedly bo passed by select council at
Its next meeting.
The system now in force for the pay
ment of sower and other contracts
was devised many years ago. At tlio
end of every month the city engineer
prepares an estimate of the amount
which lie thinks the contractors is en
titled to for the work done during the
past month. This Is passed by coun
cils, approved by the recorder and goes
to the city conti oiler. Where the
major portion of the total cost of the
improvement is to be paid by the piop
erty owners the contractor is paid as
much in ready cash as is available adn
receives a live year Improvement bond
for the remainder.
The amount which the contractor re
ceives in ready cash dining the progress
of the xiork is generally very small
and unlcs ho is possessed of some little
capital he is obliged to transfer his
bonds to some bank and have it dis
counted. It has long been contended that this
system lias forced contractors into
making extremely high bids for city
work and that because ot the slowness
of payment the city has been out
thousands of dollars every year. Direc
tor of Public Wo-lcs Itoche holds this
view and so does nearly every person
who lias given the question any con
sideration. It seems to be tlio concensus of opin
ion that the remedy for this condition
of affairs lies in the passage of some
legislation by the next legislature
which will necessitate the payment
within the period of at Ieat ono year or
even less and which would enable the
city to bring suit on a lien within a
much shorter period of time than fh'o
years as at present. This, it is be
lieved, would insure prompter payment
on tlio part of the property owners and
thus insure prompter payment to the
contractors.

At a meeting of the directors of the
Scranton Bowling league, to bo held
tomorrow In South Scranton, tlio ques
tion of dropping two of the eight teams
will bo considered and acted upon. It
seems to be the opinion of tho ma
jority of tho players that only ono
team from caeli alloy should bo In the
league and the Indications point to the
dropping of the Colts, or former
Ilnmpc team, and the South Side team.
Should these two teams be dropped,
tho season could bo finished in a much
shorter time by a rearrangement of
the schedule.' It is possible that the
proposed plan of dropping these two
clubs may be fought, however.

The bowling balls which will bo
among the prizes olfercd for tho open
tournament, soon to start on the
Ilampo alloys, are on exhibition in one
of the windows and are pronounced
by experts to bo about the finest ever
seen In tills city. There arc no finger
holes in them, so that the winners may
have holes cut at just what places
they may desire. ' The tournament
opens next Thursday afternoon at 2
o'clock, and will continue throughout
tho month of Mny. It has been decided
to insist that all bowlers desiring to
compete for tho gold medal for the
highest Individual average for thirty
games, must bowl alone, that is not in
a game.

team, started out to beat Billy Hop

ball had not been perverse, lie would

2."L'. A still higher score is reported
from the Becker nlleysi in "West Scran

Tlio Franklin team, by winning six
straight, games nt tho outset of the

AN IMPORTANT OPINION.
It Deals with tho Relntlono Between
n Breaker Boy and His Em
ployer Matter at Issue.
An opinion of general Interest was
handed down by Judge W. D. Porter,
of the superior court, In Pittsburg, Mon
day. It deals mainly with tho relations
between a breuker boy und his em
ployer. Tlie story of the cause of no
tion Is told In the Introduction of the
opinion, xvhich Is printed below In full:
DennU llridln, iriuidhin of Jaincj Xoonan, xs,
ll.c Kingston Co.d company.
Tlio plaintiff, n boy 14 jcuts of age, had been
employed about the works of the defendant com
pany for nlmo't two year prior to lccetWtiir the
Injuries out of which this rase nrose. lie bad
first worked nt picking elate, xdileli "enTploj incut
did not lulus liim in contact with the machinery
by which he va9 subsequently Injuied. About
two month? jirlor to Iho neeldent, the plaintiff
xi.n uit to work nt clcanlns the dust chutes, but
in that otuipalou theic xrji nothing to familiar
ize him xxlth the operation of the machinery.
About u month before the accident, the plaintiff
was dlicctcd to discliirgc tho duty of keeping the
coal inovlnir in n certain device called n tele
pupil, which commuted of two clniten leading
fiom a point 'below the rcx'olxlnp sciccn in a
hopper, one to pack side of the lower pait of the
building. Thc&o two c-liutes declined from it com
mon ape.x, called the knuckle, which xvas directly
below the center of the reiolvlnjr screen nnd
about clcjit inches distant thertfrom.
The. coal, after plains through the revolving
fcicccn, would sometimes clog upon the knuckle
and tho upper part of -tlio chutes the icMilt of
which was that nil the coal in.slns through the
feiccn would pas down one of the clinics', in
stead of supplying both iddes of the wotks below.
To obviate this, it was necc.v-ary fin tho plain
tiff, by the use of a sci.iper or in some other
manner, to etui t moving the coal which had to
lodged ill tho device used for carijing it to tie
lower scieen. The plaintiff, while Matting tl.e
coal xvlildi had clogged .it the knuckle ond In the
upper pait of the ihute, had his foot caught be
tween tho coal and the levolving scieen, which
drew him through the iiauow opening, inflict
ing sciious injmfc. Theip was cvideme which
would h.tvp justified a finding that time was dan
ger of doing the work in tho manner in which
the plalutlli was discharging the duty. The
phinfilf, piior to being put at this pailicuUr
woik. had been without experience as to tho man
ner in which it ought to be done, and had no
notice of the danger involved, wic that xrhleli
was n ppai cut fiont the character of the woik.
If the testimony of tho plaintiff was to be be
lieved, he Ind never seen tlio xvoik done until he
himself was put to do it. Ho testified that be
was told by the foil nun in charge of the breaker
"to go up llieic and clean out them bottom
chutes, that they wire going to run the othir
fide nf the bleaker," and tint he continued to
discluige tli.it duty for about a month in pie
cKely tho hhip manner In. which ho was doing
it nt the time he was hurl.
The chutes in fiuestioii weto palled the bottom
rhutps, because they staited from the bottom of
tho hopper and under the scieen. He teotllled
tli.it hi- did this woik in addition to keeping the
dti't duiti.s clean, Hip latter being above the
platform, and that he would so down under the
screen to do the woik every time when the coal
was blocked; that he used to go down ten. or
twelve times n day. He tellfled absolutely that
he was not in any manner instiiictcd ns to how
tho work wis to bo done or cautioned ns to any
dangers to be avoided.
The defendant called witnesses who testified
that the proper and sife way in xxliiih to do thn
woik was to use a fci.iper and le.uh down fiom
.1 platfoim, which was about seven feet above Hie
point where the coal lodged, and that to go down
under tho scieen to start the coal was djiigemus.
A number of witnes-sos were called who tcatiiicd
that llie pUinliir had been instructed ns to flip
manner in which to do the work, and that he had
been warned of the danger of going down below
the mi cm to .start the coal moving.
These wilnes.-iw fuithcr testified thai the ral
whiili lodged at the knuckle and in tho pvtienip
uppir put of the c hides could not bo learhed
from the pl'ilfoim, nnd that the proper way to
dear out that pirt of the deviie xva.s to wait, un
til the nnehiiiery etopprd and remove the coal
when the wrirn xva still, 'the youth and inpx
peilcnce of the plaintiff imposed upon the defend
ant tiip duty of instiuctlug him as to the dangua
involved in his employment and the pioprr man
ner in xvlildi to avoid such daiiRci.
If, while the inachluuy was in motion, it was
safe to Ocm only a pirt nf the clmtrr, the in
cxpeiicneo of tho plaintiff entitled hlin In a
warning as to how far hu was to cany his opeia
tlous. That duly would no.t lie met by giving
Mm a crucial diicction to keep the chutes clear
of coal, without enlightening his ignoi.inru by
telling him the pait of Hie diules which wis to
bo kept clear and the manner in xvlikh it was
to bo ncco'iipllshul. .
When the woik which an employe Is set to do
may be done in different wa.vs, one of which U
dangeious but which cx-pciipnco lias taught may
lately be done in another manner, then the inc.x
petienced cinplojc Is entitled to instruction as to
the way In which it ought to lie done: Sheetiam

Supply and Liuiuhy tnnipany, 1S5 Pa., 209;
Whltaher vs. Campbell, 3S7 l'a., 313.
The drtindnit contended that the ch.tuetcr nf
tho vvoil; was Midi ns to require the instruction
of an incxpcilcnied cinplojc. and called .1 nuiu
tier of wltnes. to pruvo that such Iiistiuctlcii
had been given. ThU raised a queIIon of fact
upon which the evidence xvas illicitly cnntradlo

for the Juiy, lvohlir xv. Pciinylinnl.i ltallioul

tiino recognled ill T.ou7.er x. Lehlgli Valley

tion. The learned Judge of thn court below sub.
mltted this dliputcd quexlioii of fact to tho Jury,
with Instruction? of which the defendant lias no
jn,t gininid for complaint. Tho Jury found that
tho plalutlli had not been instructed as to tho
manner In which to do his woik or tho dinger
which it involved,
A cuiiful lev lew of tlio testimony li.n failed
to coin Into us that tho danger Involved in tho
employment was so visible aid Immediate, In tho
abscmc of uistiurtlon, thu plalutlli' nuit be pre.
Mimed to have bien guilty ot loutilbiilory negli
gence in the iniuncv In which ho did tho woik.
While it must be conceded that It was home
what dangerous to remove the io.il fiom illuctly
under the mi'ocii whllo Iho latter wus In motion,
it can hardly be said, (is a nutter of law, to have
been to imminently dangerous that no prudent
pcieon would do to, because the plalnlllf testi
fied that ho did do lid woik for an rutiru month.

o'clock and traced It to room No. 0.
She pushed open the door and xvas hor
rilled to See tho body of John Lynch
in a sitting position on a chair just
underneath the gas jet.
A rubber tubo had been fastened to
the jet and hung within a few Inches
of the dead man's mouth. The gas
xx'as turned on full and filled' the room.
It xvas apparent that Lynch had de
liberately planned his death and that
he had placed the end of the tubo In
his mouth until he became unconscious.
A closo examination of the body showed
that rigor mortis had set In so that
death must have occurred several
hours before tho chambermaid's dis
covery. Lynch xvas about 42 year old and xvas
the son of Thomas Lynch, xvho former
ly kept a tailoring establishment on
Spruce street but xvho is noxv engaged
In tho same business In Nexv York city.
He had been employed as an agent by
his father up to a short time ago but
xx-as nex'er very close In his attention
to business because of his fondness for
drink.
He had been In a half-intoxicated
condition for several weeks past and
early In the xveek announced that be
xx-as xvlthout a cent and didn't know
how he xvas going to get on. He seem
ed' to be exceedingly despondent nnd
this xvas especially noticeable on Thurs
day night after he had been told by
tho woman xvho has charge of the rent
ing of the rooms that he xvould have
to seek nexv quarters if he didn't pay
his room rent. lie xvns not seen alive
yesterday at all.
Tho remains xvere viewed by Coroner
Saltry and xvere removed to Cuslck's
undertaking establishment. The cor
oner felt convinced that Lynch had
committed suicide and it 1 probable
that no inquest xxdll be held. The only
near relatlx-e of the dead man residing
in this city is Eugene Lynch, xvho keeps
a tailor shop on North Main avenue.
