TWO lNQUESTS HELD.
Vcrdicts Reached in tbe Finch and
howells' Cases.-.Tesiimony Heard
Concerning the Accidents.

Two inqueSts were held by Coroner
Longstreet, a his office on wyoming
avenue, last evening One was in the
case OF Leander f. Finch, who was
killed at the Marvine bte9ker June IA,
and the other was in the cas- Of Thorn.
as d. Howells, oe Nanticoke, who died
from injuries recsived az the Queens
Jubilee excursion to Farview June %.
Finch was killed Ey being squeezed
between g. car and TIE side of the wall
on the lump coal track, under the
breaker. He was the section boss at
the mine, and had cnly few days be-
fore changed the location of the track
so that the rails were placed in close
proximity to the wall against which
he was squeezed. On the morning of
the accident he found dirt car had
struck against stone protruding a
little from the side of the wall.
He thought to bump it loose and
for this purpose had some of his men
bar another car up the grade and let
it run against the car that was stuck.
He climbed over the wall and onto
the car to make the coupling after the
bump" and shouted "let her go" He
was in some manner caught between
the car and the wall and squeezed
to death.
1t was shown by large number of
witnesses that there was no necessity
of Finch being where he was, and
that he, better than anybody else,
knew of the danger ne was courting
and on the strength of this. the jury
brought in a verdict that death was
due to his own carelessness. The
Jurors were w. G, Moser, Charles l..
Teeter, James Frable, Patrick Cusck,
F. j. Suydam and A, II. Atkins.
In the Howells case evidence was
produced to show that the drawhead,
which broke and caused the derailment
of the train, had been inspected both
at Carbondale and Wilkes-Barre, on
the day OF the excursion; that the
deceased was riding on the platform,
after being admonished by the conduc-
tor: that there We're vacant seats in
the car, from which he was thrown,
and that there was no sudden start OF
the train at the time it broke in two.
The jury, consisting of w. G. Moser,
II. j. Duffy, c. L. Teeter, Fred Kuhl-
man, c. NJ. French and w. H. Rine-
hart, brought in simple verdict that
the death was the result of the break
ing of the drawhead on the car.
In neither case did the friends of the
Delaware and Hudson. on the other
hand, was represented at both inquests
by Special officer Martin Crippen.

For a number of years the homeo-
pathic physicians Of this city have felt
the growing demand for a. hospital
where patients needing special care
could be treated by the physicians they
would employ in their own homes. This
demand grew until scarcely day
passed without some of the physicians
having asked when a hospital would
he established.
Some of the physicians secured an
option on the Home of the Friendless
and were about to open a private In
stitution, but the secret leaked out ana
some of the ladies asked the privilege
to omen a hospital in which every
homeopathic physician of good stand
ing could have an interest. According
ly q meeting was called at Dr. II. B.
Wares office in April and society of
the physicians of Scranton and neigh
boring towns was organized for the
purpose of promoting the establishing
of a hospital.
DR.. Ware, acting as chairman of
this meeting, with some very happy
remarks regarding the excellent SER
vice rendered the new school by Dr. j.
w. Coolidge, as the city's oldest resi-
dent physician, nominated him for
president, lie was unanimously elect
ed and Dir Anna c. Clark was elected
secretary.
a committee, consisting of Drs. Ware,
L4ange and Brewster, was appointed to
aid the committee from the ladies' or
gani7aticn to select a location. Sever
al properties are now in view and an
option has been secured on the James
Blair property
At a meeting held on Thursday 1t
was reported that $4,000 had been
pledged to the ladies' organization in
support of the hospital for two years.
This sum is $1,000 more than was esti-
mated as necessary. In compliance
with a request that committees be APP
pointed to act in conjunction with the
general association Drs. Ware, Lange
and Brewster were appointed a COM
mittee on location, and Drs. Coolidge,
Roberts and Brewster a committee on
bylaws and constitution. Other COM
mittees are to be appointed later.
1t was the sentiment of the meeting
that patients desiring the attendance
of physicians of school other than
homeopathic will be granted the priv
ilege of being attended by such physi-
clans who are in good standing.
The next meeting will be held subject
to the call Of the president.

robbing.
Thursday one of them opened up to
Lewis and to the great delight of the
latter presented him with a map show
ing just where the booty was hidden
The spot indicated is about three miles
above Carbondale in the woods. After
the deputies had left to get the booty
the prisoners told the others about the
Jail what they had done and also con-
fided the fact that it was all huge
joke.
The fact that the deputies returned
footsore and weary, without the booty,
would indicate that it was certainly Il
joke.

action will probably be taken today.
The mayor has expressed his willing

STICK TO HOME PEOPLE.

Henry Grady, in one of his speeches
giving counsel to his community, ad-
vised the people to magnify the i'm
portanoe of their town, to cultivate it's
small economies and stand by its
young Industries. Commercial de-
pendeuce, according to the gifted
southerner, was a chain that always
CALLED every day. A factory built at
home, a shoe or boot made. is a step in
that diffusion of interests that are
needed. "Teach your children" he
said, "to withdraw from the vassalage
of distant capitalists and pay under
sacrifice the mortgages Oh their home
or land. By prudent and simple lives
stay within your own resources and
establish the freedom Of your COM
munity. Make every village and cross
roads, as far as may be, sovereign to
its own wants"
The success of home industries, adds
the Jacksonville Metropolis, depends
upon the patronage Of home people,
aud every success is q business tri-
umph and every failure is q humllia
k;o1 that aRaota ,o0ua than Opo 0r q
dozen persons. Don't be guilty of de-
featinG q home enterprise by with
holding from it your encouragement.
People who send away from home for
every article they need because they
think q few cents can be saved over
the prices paid at home are enemies to
the best interests of home. They would
not expect helping hand from those
AT a distance if their homes should
catch fire, if their families were in
distress from disease or calamity, and
yet they are willing to send money
away from their neighb0rs to strSng-
ers that have no more interest in them
or their home than they have in Hot
tentot.
Read the sayings of Grady and stand
by home and home people. They are
your best friends. Every new indus
try started, it matters not how small,
will help to increase the business Of
your own section, furnish employment
for the worthy poor and build up and
enhance the value Of property. Stand
by home institutions and they will
stand by you.

HER PARTING FAVOR.
The Elder Sister, the Little Brother and

The Elder Sister, the Little Brother and
the Irate Lover.
The morning of her wedding day she
expressed desire to have q confidential
chat with her mischievous little brother,
and in expectation of some parting IA
vor he readily followed her to room
where they could be alone.
"You have been very annoying at
times, Willie" she said by way of
preface, "but suppose it is only natu-
raj that boy of your age should be so. I"
"They always are, SIS" he replied
promptly. "All the boys that have old
er sisters are just like me. It's half the
fun of being boy and having sister. 4"
81 suppose so, ," she returned thought
fully. 81 don't know why it should be
SO, but suppose it is. I suppose girl
who is unfortunate enough to have a
younger brother must expect to find
him hidden behind the sofa when her
best young man calls. l suppose she
must expect to have him suddenly
bounce into the room with whoop
when she thinks him safely up stairs in
bed. I suppose she must expect to have
him turn dark lantern on her when
she is deep in conversation with young
man in the darkest corner of vine COW
cred porch. At any rate, have no feel
ing of resentment, and to prove it in
tend to do you great favor. Without
knowing it you have done me one, and
I intend to repay you.
81 did you onel'' exclaimed the boy,
trying his best to figure out when and
how.
"Yes," she replied. eff it were not
for you, my wedding day would now be
about three months in the future instead
of today"
"But I-I-what did do?'' demand
ed the boy, thoroughly bewildered.
"You merely made things interesting
in you own inimitable way" answered
the bride to be, land every time you
did some particularly outrageous thing
he pleaded with me to shorten the time
of our wedding day. 1t was originally
planned that we should be married about
three months from today; but, owing
to your activity, have been enabled to
knock week after week off the inter-
vening time, always at his urgent re-
quest, until now all that have to do is
to be on hand at the proper time this
evening and will have him good and
fast. "
"Well," said the boy doubtfully, eff
you attribute it all to me, I suppose I
ought to get something cut of it.
What's it to be?''
"This,' she replied, and then she
came close to him and whispered in his
ear fundamentally: "Make yourself
scarcel Skip! Scootl Lie lowl Get out
of the way and keep out of the way un-
til we have LETT. If he had not been
afraid it would lessen his chance of
getting me, he would have whaled you
long ago, and just as soon as he has
made sure of me 1 have feeling that
he will get after you with a trunk
strap"
"And if he DOESN'T" she added
dreamily, as her eyes rested on the boy
and she thought of all she had been
through, 81 will, and don't you forget
