PROGRAMME OP
THE HEARINGS
i ;.!
OUTLINE OF WHAT THE MINERS
WILL PRESENT.
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. To tho extreme right of
tho bench will bo reserved a seat for
any judge of tho local or federal courts
who may drop In as a spectator.
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. Sirs. Benson Is a well
known resident of Kellar, Va. Pain
Balm Is an antiseptic liniment and
especially valuable for burns, cuts,
bruises and sprains. For sale by all
druL'cists.

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

made, being able to gain admittance to

INQUEST IN RYAN CASE.
Deceased Was Burned with Elec
tricity While Trying to Cut a
Live Wire.
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'

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.
