There is no difficulty in satisfactorily
accounting for the great discrepancy
which exists between the physical
state of Saturn and the physical state
OF the Earth. We know that the Earth
contains vast store of heat in its in
terror, and that consequently it must
once have been hotter, much hotter, at
the surface than it is at present. For
as our globe is certainly cooling down,
it is quite obvious that the further we
look back the hotter do we find our
globe must have been. Indeed. it seems
Impossible TO doubt that at some epoch
excessively remote, even from a geo.
logical point of view, there must
have been SO much heat that the sur
face of the Earth was untitled to re-
tain water except in the form of steam.
We are hence led to look back to a
phrase in our Eorth's history, when the
waters at present in the oceans were

DEATH OF WILLIAM II. BARLOW.
No Direct Evidence Concerning the
Nay lie Was Killed.

Coroner LongStreet conducted an in
quest last night at the arbitration
room of the court house in the case OF
William II. Barlow, of Tenth street,
who was killed on the afternoon Of
November 80 in the Delaware, Lacka-
wann and Western yard.
There was no positive evidence as to
just how Barlow met his death. Geo.
p. Fleetwood, n car inspector in the
yard was the first one that saw the
body. 1t was under a passenger coach,
the head within a foot of the forward
truck and the body extending back
in the center of the track parallel with
the rails. Mr.. Ellenwood saw Barlow
not more than five minutes before he
was killed and he was carrying two
pals of water to the pay car.
Patrick Hoban and John Hoban,
switchmen. said that Barlow was not
at work under the car. His duties as
car cleaner would bring him at times
under the cars.
Tim Costello, engineer of the en-
gine that pushed the last car on No.
2 switch; Jacob Gable, William Lough-
ran. Thomas Ruddy, Albert j. Thomas,
c. j. Woodring. all yard employees. and
Joseph Ellenwood, foreman of the car
inspectors, all testified, but could not
throw any light on the case. except
to corrobOrate the inference that Bar
low no doubt, was crossing between
two cars when COstello's engine pushed
car in and bumped them up, either
crushing him between the bumpers or
under the truck. The deceased was in
the employ of the Delaware. Lacka-
wanna and Western since October l,
1890.
The verdict of the jury was as fol-
lows: I'VE find that William H. Bar
low came to his death from injuries
sustained on November 30 in the Del
aware, Lackawanna and Western yard
by being run down by passenger
coach which was being run in on No.

There was a disturbance evidenced by

WHAT THE JUDGE SAID.

When the prosecution had told their
story as above, Judge Archibald inter-
rupted the question as to whether or
not the district attorney was going to
ask for conviction. Er. Jones said
he would. Judge Archibald rcjoined
that he hardly thought case had been
made out, but as the district attorney
insisted he would allow the matter to
go to the jury. He hoped. however,
the jury would not convict. as he would
not, he thought, let such verdict
stand.
w. r. Lewis. attorney for the de-
fense, outlined to the jury that while
the defendant and prosecutor were
walking along together they were set
upon by dog. Orzel whipped out his
revolver and shot at the dog. He did
not know that he had shot GoOt until
Goot told him and showed him the
blood. Then he became 50 frightened
that he wanted to run away. Goot
pleaded with him to help him to the
doctors and he did. The story about
Orzel trying to run away a second time
and his drawing the revolver when
GoOt grabbed him was not true. Orzel
turned the revolver over to Goot at the
latter's request and without any cOer-
cion.
Orzel was put on the stand and told
a straight story along the above lines
The jury acquitted him after being out
only few minutes.

MILLER WAS ARRESTED.

Such was Mahoney's story in Grim
inal court yesterday when Miller was
called for trial before Judge Archibald.
Police officers testified to Miller'S ar
rest and how it was discovered that
he had disuosed of thirteen chickens
to E.nos Flynn. of Providence, before
reaching the central city.
Miller went on the stand in his own
defense and said the chickens he sold
to Flynn We're bought from Mrs.
Davies. He also averred that the pros
ecution was malicious on Mahoney's s
part. He had no attorney, but he said
he didn't mind that God would see him
through
He was found guilty and sentenced
forthwith to three months in the coun-
ty jail Judge Archibald considering
this sufficient punishment in view of
the fact that Miller has been in Jail

Stanislaus Or2el was tried for felon-
iously wounding Frank Goot, but got

Il young man of short stature and GOOt
who is a rather large, middle-aged
man were walking along the railroad
leading to the Archibald mine one night
last summer, both very much the worse
for drink. Goot said that without any
provocatiOn or warning Orzel suddenly
pulled out a revolver and shot him.
He said to OrZel, why did you shoot
me?" OrZel answered, You are not
shot"
Yes, look here" and he showed
Orzel the blood flowing down his shirt
front. At the sight of it Orzel started
to run, but Goot begged him to wait
and help him to Il doctor. They walked
to the street car at the end of Luzerne
street and arriving there. GOot says,

GLAD TO MEET CHAUNCEY.

Although tho: started at o'clock i'm
the afternoon, they had only gotten as
far as Minooka at midnight, Tucker
having insisted on setting 'em up In
every saloon and candy shop he met
with on the way so glad was he to
have his old friend Chauncey Smith
with him. 1t commenced to rain when
they got to Minooka and they sought
a porch along the road for shelter.
Tucker fell asleep and when he awoke
his money and watch We're gone as
well as his supposed friend, Chauncey
Smith. Tucker returned to Scranton
and at the Coyne house met the de-
fendant. He demanded the return OF
his valuables. but Miller denied hav-
ing them. He thereupon called an Off
Ger and had Miller arrested.
Miller swore that he and Tucker We're
old friends and that when Tucker
found himself stupified. drunk and in
Minooka he gave him his money to
keep for him. When Tucker fell asleep
Miller tried to rouse him. but failing in
this and not caring to sit here all night
he left him.
Before going he thought 1t better to
take fuckers watch along for fear
some one might steal it. He avOws
that when Tucker met him in the
Coyne house afterward he did not hes
itate to return the watch and money
