National President Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers, Will Read a Lengthy Opening Statement of What His Side propones to Show, and Then Go on the Stand as tho First Witness Those Who Will Follow and What They Will Deal with Arrangements for Sessions. At 10 o'clock this morning, tho mine strike commission wilt reassemble at tho Superior court room In tho county court house, to enter upon tho task of taking testimony. All tho commission ers, and nearly all tho lawyers and parties In interest, hail arrived last night, and everything is In readiness for the sessions. At fl.M this morning, the commission ers will meet nt Hotel Jermyn for a preliminary conference. At its conclus ion they will proceed In a body to the court room nnd formally open tho ses sions. Judge Cray, president of tho commission, will state tho commission ers' Ideas of tho method of procedure, and then will likely follow suggestions of the lawyers as to modifications of what plans of the commissioners do not agree with their Ideas. Tho procedure being settled, President Mitchell, of the mine workers, will pre sent a 0,000 word statement of the minors' side of the ease, embodying what they propose to prove nnd out lining how they prove it. This being concluded, President Mitchell will take the stand to present documentary and oral testimony. Attorney Clarence S. Barrow will conduct the direct exam ination of Sir. Mitchell. It is likely ho will bo on the stand for several days. It had not been decided, last night, what attorneys for tho operators would cross-examine him, and probably no decision will be reached regarding this detail until after his testimony is nil in. Second Miners' Witness. Tho second witness for tho miners will be J lev. Peter Roberts, D. D., of Slahnnoy City, who has been working for the past three weeks with President Mitchell and others, at "Wilkes-Barre, In preparing the miners' testimony. Dr. KODorts will testify as to the economic side of the anthracite coal question and tho social conditions of anthracite miners. Then will follow testimony from Dr. Walter K AVeyl, statistician, who will go, In detail, into the matter of wages and cost of living-. He will also deal witli the matter of miners' children being compelled to go to work at a very early age as compared with chil dren of other workmen. District President Nlcholls, of District No. 1, and District President Duffy, of District No. 7, will then be called to tell of the general conditions in their districts. District President Faliy, of District No. !, will not go on the stand here, as he is to reserve his testimony for the session of the commission which It is expected will take place in Potts vllle. Should it be decided that no Pottsville session will be held, the tes timony as to conditions In that district will be given here. A Pottsville session Is not likely, It might be Incidentally mentioned, as the commissioners do not desire it, nnd President Mitchell, of tho mine workers, does not favor it, Sllnor ofllcials of each district, such as secretaries and executive board members, will then bo examined on gen eral conditions, and then will come tho examination of miners from every mining center In the whole anthracite region ns to the details of the miners' case. There will bo about fifty wit nesses from the First district, twenty five from the Seventh, and thirty from tho Ninth. It Is possible that'all of these will not be culled. Sluch will de pend on the developments. Closing Testimony. The miners will finish up by present ing tho testimony of ministers, doctors and school teachers from different parts of tho region as to health, morality and education among miners and their families, with a view of showing that tho poverty of miners is not due to anything In the way of dissolute hob its; that mining is a dangerous and unhealthy occupation, nnd that miners' children are tho first to leave school. When the miners close their case It Is likely a recess will be taken to givo the operators' side opportunity to pre pare their response. What the opera tors will present Is not known, hut from their preparations It can be taken ns a surety that they will occupy quite as much if not more than the miners of the time nnd attention of the com mission. Recorder Wright and Assistant Re corders Siosely and Nelll spent a good part of yesterday arranging tiie super ior court room for the sessions of tho commission. The seven commissioners will occupy the bench seats of the sev en superior court judges. Judge dray, president or the commission, will sit in the center. On his right, in the order named, will ho Colonel Wright, Mr. Watiiins and Sir. Clark. On his left, General Wilson, rtlsliop Spauldlng and Sir. Parker.

Immediately In front of tho bench tho two assistant recorders will have a desk. To their left will be tho sten ographer s desk and adjoining that will be the witness box. The Press Gallery. At light angles with the bench and against the easterly wall will bo tho press gallery, It will occupy what is usually the Jury box, Two rows of long tables nnd chairs, capablo of ac commodating twenty-four persons, have been placed In tho box. This, it Is thought, will sutllco to accommodate the newspapermen who will make de tailed reports of the proceedings, Spe cial writers will be accommodated with front seats among tha witnesses, Throe long tables, set at right angles Stepped Against a Hot Stove, A child of Mrs. fleo, T, Benson, when setting his usual Hnturduy night bath, stepped back against a hot stove which burned him severely, The child was In great agony and his mother could do nothing to pacify him, Remembering that she had a. bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm In the house, she thought she would try It, In less than half an hour after applying It the child was nulet and asleep, and Jit less than two weeks wus well.

VISITORS WELCOME. with the bench nnd surrounded by twenty-four chairs hnvo been ullnttcd to the attorneys, The miners have been given tho table most distant from the witness box while they ore pre senting testimony, so that their wit nesses may bn prompted to keep their voices up and thereby make It more certain that the commissioners on the end of tho bench furthest from tho witness box will hear nil the testimony. 1C tho examiner is close to tho witness, the latter, ns experience1 In every court room teaches, naturally speaks Just loud enough to make his voice reach Ills questioner. After getting Into tho habit of talking loud on direct examin ation, tho witness will continue to keep his voice up during the cross-examination. The central table will bo for the rep resentatives of the coal carrying com panies, nnd the table nearest the wit ness box will bo for the lawyers of the. independent operators aim the non union men. The rest of the space within the bar enclosure will be devoted to the parties in interest, such as the general man agers and superintendents of coal com panies, officials of the mine workers' union, nnd the expert accountants and statisticians assisting the attorneys of the different parties. Seats for Witnesses. The eighty stationary seats for wit nesses and spectators have been aug mented to one hundred by the addi tion of two rows of chairs in tho space just outside tho bar enclosure. There is little possibility of any except thoso for whom special provision has been made, being able to gain admittance to the court room. Tho witnesses will take up all the scats outside the bar enclos ure, and, of course, the general public will not be admitted within the en closure.

SIcClintoek, of Wllkes Barre, for the Lehigh and Witkes- Barre Coal company; Simon P.

An Inquest was held In the court house last night in the case of Martin Ryan, who was so badly burned with electricity on November 6 In front of 227 Lackawanna nvenuc, by grasping u live wire, that ho died soon afterwards. The jury ompnnncled by Coroner J. F. Sultry consisted of 13, T. Jnyne, John Klsele, Joseph Murphy, G. AV. Snyder, J. V. Mitchell and J. V. Hatnnies, and It returned the following verdict: Wo find that Martin Rynn camo io his death on November (i, 1002, by being burned by electricity while employed In connecting wires In front of 2-7 Lacka wanna avenue, Scranton, Pa,; that tho nc cldent was duo to a nilstako on tho part of Ryan in cutting tho wire in tho wrong place' AVij find that tho LncUawannaJiospllnl responded to tho ambulance call as promptly as possible. Michael SIcMiinus testified that Ryan was In the employ of the local electric light company. He was a lineman of ten or eleven years' experience nnd was a very careful and competent man. With the deceased he was engaged In putting wires in the building at 227 Lackawanna avenue on the day of the accident, but was not present when tho accident occurred. Rynn had put in a "jumper," a piece of wire which con nects the two wires used to complete a circuit. This makes the wire be yond the "jumper" "dead" nnu connec tions can be made with safety. After having his "Jumper" in place Ryan started to cut the wire to make a con nection to run into the store. He seems for some reason, that no one can understand, to have attempted to cut the wire on the "live" side of the "jumper" nnd received the shock which caused his death. Dr. S. A. Aroorhees, who tried to re vive Ryan after he foil to the sjdewalk, said a call for the ambulance was sent to the Lackawanna hospital, and after waiting thirty or forty minutes Ryan was placed In a wagon and taken to the hospital. Had proper treatment been at hand more could have been done for Ryan, Dr. A'oorhees said, but he could not say that Ryan's life would have been saved. Morris Llpson and F. AV. Thomas, who worked in the store in front of which tho accident occurred, said that In their judgment it was from thirty to forty minutes from the time the accident occurred until the man was taken to the hospital in a wagon. Dr. Lindsay, who is In charge of the surgical ward at the hospital, and Dr. Noacker, the ambulance surgeon, testi fied that when the call came to the hospital, Kelly's livery was 'phoned to send the ambulance to the hospital. In less than ten minutes the ambulance arrived. At the same time the wagon camo which contained Rynn. Dr. Lindsay said tho man was dead when taken into the operating room. Dr. P. F. Gunster was in the hos pital at the time the call came and cor roborated the doctor as to the prompt ness of the response. Joseph Kelly, at whose livery the am bulance is kept, said he received the call at 3.50 and four minutes later the ambulance left the stable. It would reach the hospital inside of three min utes. BIG EUCHRE PARTY. Nearly 500 Persons Played nt St. Thomas College Hall Last Night for Benefit of New Church. Tho largest and in every way the most successful progressive euchre party ever conducted in tills city was held last night in St. Thomas college by the ladies of the congregation of St. Peter's cathedral, for the benefit of the now church which is soon to be es tablished in South Scranton. The entire hall, from tho stage to the entrance doors, was packed with the ISO players who were seated at IL'0 tables. Play began at S o'clock and continued until It o'clock. It would seem that with such a large number playing somo confusion would result, but things moved with remarkable smoothness and there were no hitches. The prl7.es and thoso who won them are given below, the winners being de cided by cutting tho cards: Ladies' ilrst prize, till painting, Sirs.

VIADUCT IS NOW IN SIGHT SATISFACTORY PLANS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED. They Hjive Been Approved by tho D,, L. & W. Co, and the Scranton Railway Company, and Are Satis factory to the City, Except in a Few Minor Details Accompanied by a Bond for $100,000 from tho D., L, & W. Co. What tr Plans Provide for. Tho AVcsl Lackawanna viaduct Is now In sight. Pinna that arc satisfactory to tho city, with the exception of a few minor details, have been submitted by the Delaware, Lackawanna nnd Western company, after having received the ap proval of' the Scranton Rnllway com pany, which two corporations aro to pay for tho construction. Accompany ing the plnns was a bond for $100,000 from tho Delaware, Lackawanna and Western company guaranteeing tho cost of construction. The revised plans show a much morn serviceable, durable and ovnato struc ture than wns provided for In tho orig inal set. From the easterly end of the tracks to' Ninth street, tho grade will be prac tically level, and from tho same start ing point to Seventh street the grade is a little less than seven per cent, Tho reduction In grade of one per cent. Is accomplished by lowering the viaduct where It crosses the tracks, so that it will have only mi eighteen feet clear ance Instead of twenty-one feet, as could be legally demanded by the com pany. Width of Viaduct. The wldtii of tho viaduct and its roadways and sidewalks remain tho same. The total width of sixty feet will occupy the street from curb to curb. The ten-feet sidewalks at present on each side of the street will be given to tho abutting property. holders in part compensation fop the damages the city will have to pay. Solid concrete, Instead of block stone, will be used from Seventh street to tiie easterly side of Eighth street, and from the westerly side of the tracks to Ninth street. From tiie easterly side of Eighth street to the tracks the viaduct deck will be supported on Iron pillars, set on a concrete base. ' Steps, with broad heads and broken midway by a spacious platform, will lead to the viaduct from Eighth street. Tho sidewalks of the viaduct will be of flagstone, with solid concrete curb ing. Tho level part of the roadway, from the easterly end of the tracks to Ninth street, will be paved with asphalt and the rest of It with AVarren's Bitu minous Slacadam, a new pavlmr ma terial which Director of Public Works Roche wants to test. The railings will be highly ornamental and nothing about the construction will be cheap. Provision will be mnde for carrying double tracks, and telephone and tele graph wires, and manholes to tho sew ers and other conduits will bo carried up through the masonry from the pres ent street grade. Materials Used. Following is a synopsis of the ma terial features of the structure: Foundation excavation, cubic yds.. l.riCO Burrowed filling, cubic yards R.SOO Concrete, cubic yards 1,,'ro Steel and iron, pounds 3K"00 Iron railing, feet 1,4. To Bituminous macadam paving, square yards 1.625 Asphalt paving, square, ynrtl.s l.fiSO Flag sidewalks, square yards , !::." It Is thought possible that the Dela ware, Lackawanna and AA'estcrn com pany has had some contractors figuring on the work of construction, and that bids will lie received just as soon as the city advertises for them. Director Roche will do all In Ills power to get the work under way at once. It Is a surety, almost, that the long-wanted viaduct will be a reality before next summer. "WHY I BECAME A BAPTIST."
