SCHEMES TO UTILIZE CULM.
Plans Outlined by Thomas A. Edison in
an Interview.


Thomas A. Edison. in an interview
yesterday at Philadelphia on the direct
conversion Of coal into electricity,
said: II have been experimenting for
some time on this problem, and have
found that 1t can be done. The hither-
to useless culm banks Goal dusD in the
coal regions can be converted directly
into electricity in the ordinary way,
and transmitted to this city in the
shape OF alternating currents, and then
transferred and distributed by means
Of local companies for light, heat and
power throughout the city. IT is only
a matter of time, and the securing of
sufficient capital to push the work
when this scheme will be completed and
In operation.
There Is another plan now on foot
to utilize the culm banks. w. 8. An
drews, of the New York Steam Heating
company, has formed a company with
several million dollars back OF 1t, which
proposes to pump the culm to Phila-
delphia. They are experimenting on
the work now. and I understand the
experiments have proved very success
full.
1.-THE idea is to have a pipe line laid
from the coal regions to Philadelphia.
The culm or coal dust will be mixed
with water and pumped through these
pipes. On reaching the terminal in
Philadelphia the water will be drained
off and the dust compressed into
"brickettes" In the same manner as is
now employed in France. These
bricks could be sold much cheaper, and
will burn equally as well as COAL"

ESTATE Is BADLY MIXED.
That Is What Attorney John d. Concly. OF
Detroit. Says in an Application for All
Injunction Against Asher NJ. Fell, Of
WIKI pa Iarrc

A proceeding was instituted in the
orphans court of this county yester-
day afternoon which involves Asher M.
Fell prominent citizen of Wilkes
Barre. George X. Powell, of the Lu-
zerne bar, is the legal representative
of Attorney John d. Conely, Of De-
troit, Mich, who has caused the action
to be brought. Judge Edwards took
the papers and granted preliminary
injunction to restrain Asher M. Fell
from using any Of the money or profits
of the estate of John G. Fell, late of
Waverly borough, this county.
John G. Fell died on April s, 1891, at
Waverly, and left an estate that in
ventoried at $1S,044.33. The decedent's
wife died before him and the heirs
mentioned in the will were Asher NJ.
Fell, then of Waverly, now of Wilkes
Barre, who Is a son Of the decedent,
and Edith +. and Clarence Conely chill
dren of Attorney Conely of Detroit,
whose wife was a daughter of the de-
cedent and full sister of Asher NJ Fell.
Attorney Conely recites In his petition
for an injunction that letters testa-
mentary in the estate of the decedent
were granted to himself and Asher M.
Fell, and that for two years every
thing went along swimmingly. Mr..
Conely moved to Detroit and left the
management Of the estate solely in his
brother-in-law's hands. At the proper
time Mr. Fell. for awhile. sent COM
plete reports Of the business of the es-
tate, but when 1894 arrived his reports
were very unsatisfactory. and Mr..
Conely came on here from Detroit and
investigated matters. He alleges that
he found the business of the estate in a
mismanaged' condition and totally
mixed up. and that deep inroads had
been made on the share that was de-
vised to the petitioners children.
Judge Edwards granted the injunc-
ton and made 1t returnable Monday.
Oct. IA. at 10 a. m. G. j. Powell and
John Roe of Wilkes-Barre. qualified as
bondsmen in the sum of $500 for the Pc
titiOner as a guarantee that the pro-
ceeding is not brought to harass or de-
lay Asher M. Fell.

CHANGES ARE TO BE MADE.

Entirely Satisfied with Its Work.

Entirely Satisfied with Its Work.
The foot ball elevens of the Scran-
ton Bicycle club and the Scranton Busi-
ness college will play at the Base Ball
park tomorrow at $3.50, and as both
teams are In excellent condition a good
game may be expected. The Scranton
Business college has an undefeated
team. and as they have nearly all their
last years men playing there is every
indication OF hard game in store for
the Bicycle eleven.
The bicycle eleven has entirely re-
covered from the effects of the Elmlra
and Syracuse games. Captain Walsh
and Left End Walsh will be in the
game, as both have recovered from the
Injuries received in the Syracuse game.
There has been a general shaking up
in the team since Saturday. as Captain
Walsh Is not entirely satisfied with the
team work shown In the last game.
and thinks that some Of the players
will show up to better advantage In
different positions.
Decker, who has been playing quar-
ter back, changes places with Thayer,
and goes to his old position at left end.
Owens will play at the other end Of
the line, Owen Walsh taking his place
at half back. This gives the team
two experienced end rushers and
makes the line well nigh invinclble.
Thayer returns to q position behind the
line, where his well-known experience
in tackllng and line bucking will be of
great benefit to the team.
The Bicycle club eleven will be in the
best Of condition when they meet the
strong Shamokin eleven at Shamokin
Oct. 10. The Shamokin team was vic
torious last season by a score OF 1876,
but the Scranton team Is much strong
er this season and Captain Walsh and
his men fully expect to take a sweet
revenge. 1t is possible that enough
Scranton rooters will accompany the
team to enable the management to en-
gage O special car for the trip.

The arguments to the jury in the
Potter suit for damages against the
Scranton Traction company were COM
pleted at 4.45 o'clock yesterday after
noon. An adjournment was made to
10 o'clock this morning. when Judge
Lynch will charge the Jury.
Major Warren addressed the jury for
the defense. There was no attempt to
discredit the injuries of the plaintiff.
but the defense has aimed to convince
the jury that Potter was chiefly re-
sponsible for the runaway which so
crippled him. Ex-Judge Ward argued
that the company was responsible for
the runaway, and that the injuries TO
the plaintiff were fully worth the $780,
900 asked.
This case has been the longest of any
on the common pleas list in years. 1t
began a week ago Monday.

has not yet been identified was muir
dered and robbed early this morning

the CHARTERS and Youghiogheny rail-

value had been removed from the body.
The discovery was made about o'clock
by Conductor John Day. OF coal train.

age, medium stature. light hair and
moustache. weighed about 10 pounds

Frank Shultu's Marrow Escape from
Death at Oxford Breakcr-Taken
Out Of Culm Unconscious.

One of the most novel mishaps OF the
many with which the coal mine Is con-
nected happened at the oxford breaker
yesterday morning. Frank Shultu.
19-year-old boy living on Ninth street.
was the victim. The buckwheat pocket
in the breaker had become blocked
and Shultu was sent to shovel the coal
from the mouth of the inner shoot.
While doing this load of the coal was
taken from the chute into a car on the
outside. Shultu was drawn down.
ward by the rush of coal. He struggled
but the suction was too great, and he
was completely engulfed in the fine
mass.
No one heard his crys for help and
the first intimation of Shultu's fate
was when the leaders saw his foot come
out with the coal which was running
into the car. The gate was opened
wide and the boy fell in heap into the
car. He was unconscious and the
blood vessels of his body, and especial
ly about the eyes. were expanded in his
desperate effort to draw himself out of
the coal. He was carried home and
soon recovered consciousness, but is
unable to talk at length. His back is
injured and his face a mass of small
cuts as result of the pressure of the
fine coal.
The boy must have been several min
utes in passing from the top Of the heap
OF coal to the outlet. Dr. Williams,
who is In attendance, says he will re-
cover.
