BLACK DIAMOND BREAKER.
Destroyed by the Torch, Applied by
Tramp Firebugs.

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Pittston, May 2O.-The old Black Dia-
mond breaker, owned by the LehiSh
and Wilkes Barre Coal company, at the
East End, Wilkes Barre, was burned
last night.
The fire was discovered about II
o'clock. a mass of flames, lighting up
miles around, was plainly seen from
this city. Wilkes Barre fire companies
responded, but nothing could be done
to save the structure, intense heat pre-
venting them from getting within fight
ing range. The breaker had been idle
several years.
The Black Diamond breaker was
erected in 1897 by the Lehigh and
Wilkes-Barre Coal company. which
operated it sixteen years. 1t was, when
opened, one of the largest and most
modern in the Wilkes Barre district.
About twelve years ago the breaker
was abandoned, part of the machinery
was removed and the coal from the
Diamond mine has since been prepared
in the Holenback breaker. Being To-
Gated 1000 feet away. the shaft cs-
capped any damage by the fire.
The fire is supposed to have been
started by tramps, who have been seen
about the place. The loss is estimated
at 100000, and is said to be covered by
insurance

SUICIDE OF A SLAV.
Fonnd Hanging in Fuller's Patch,
Near Wyoming Yesterday.

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Pittston, May 2O.-Yesterday evening
about o'clock two boys returning
from fishing trip found the dead
body of a man hanging, from tree
in the woods near Fuller's Patch, just
back Of West Wyoming. They brought
assistance to the spot The man was
identified as John Roman, Slavonian,
aged about as years, his wife living in
the old country. 1t looks like suicide,
and the manner in which he ended his
life was peculiar. Along Abraham's
creek runs a path within a half dozen
feet of the waters edge. At the spot
chosen by the suicide are number
of wild grape vines. Securing one of
the vine trailers hanging from the tree,
the man made loop through which
he stuck his head, and then sat down,
slowly strangling to death. When
found, he was in sitting position, his
legs fiat on the ground and thighs
about one inch from the grass. His
arms were by his sides and his hands
clutched the roots Of the vine as If he
had tried to pull his body down in
order to tighten the loop about his
neck.
The man had boarded with Mrs.
Rowan at Sturmerville, and was last
seen alive on Friday. on that day he
hired Matthew Dougher, of Exeter bor-
ough. to so to Dupont, where he had
recently been working, and bring his
trunk down to Mrs. Rowan's. Dough-
er says Roman appeared to be in a
happy mood and left him to go in
search Of work. The body was quite
cold when found and it is thought it
had been hanging since Friday even
ing.
The body was taken in charge by
wyoming undertaken, and a coroner's
Jury will hold an inquest in few
