a unn Leaps Into IL Furnace.

The Scranton PENN Republican says
that shortly before one o'clock Friday
morning, the men working on the night
shift at the blast furnace of the Lackawana
Iron and Coal Company, were Mortified
by one of the most shocking eases of self
destruction that has ever occurred in that
city. The victim was young man named
Theodore Maronc who took advantage of
the temporary absence of the workmen.
and plunged into the scching furnace,
which at the time was u white heat. His
cries attracted attention, and the workmcn
ran to the furnace and looked down, only
to see the unfortunate MarOuc waving his
hands and feet in the most intense agony
a long-handlcd shovel was lowered to him,
but lie was unconscious of its presence.
One of the men ran Immediately and stop
ped the blast, but human aid was of no
avail to save the unfortunate man in the
furnace, and he was dragged up as quickly
as possible by means of Il large hook,
clarrcd, disfgurcd, and unrccognizablc
mace above II few minutes, but the intense
heat was sufficient TO destroy life if he had
not been in more than second. He was
conveyed to Mr.. Raub's undertaking estab-
lislmcnl, where large box had been con-
structed to enclose his remains. His knees
and elbows were contracted and so rigid
that it was impossible to straighten them.
Theodore Marone was a native of Pomarn,
East Prussia. where his father was Pro-
lessor in one of the gymnasiums or schools
in which Theodore was also employed as n
teacher lie was subsequently engaged in
the war, in 1866, betwccn Prussia and
Austria, and cmigrated to this country about
four years ago. He was then twenty-five
years Of age and might have done well but
for his dissoutc habits, which beset him
and reduced him to state of abject misery.
He found work in the employ of the Ok
ford Iron Company as common laborer,
and often ut his daily toll, when comparing
his position with what he was Mt home, he
wept the presence of fellow workmen.
These fits of dependency had a terrible eff
feet upon him, and his friends feared he
would lose his reason while suffering from
one of them. He came to Scranton on
Tuesday, and sought shelter at the Centre
street lookup. -While there hr attempted
To take his life by heating Il poker red hot
in the stove and placing it to his neck to
destroy the carotid artery, when he was de-
tcctcd by one of the officers. He lay around
the blast furnace the evening prior to his
destruction in consequence of some men
being at work here with whom he was ac-
quanted at the Oxford iron mines.
