evening with a bullet hole in his head
and a revolver by his SIDE" said yes

BODY when found was cold and de-
ceased must have been dead for sew
eral hours. He was last seen alive a
short time after dinner. Lately he was
of a morose disposition and his friends
noticed It, 1t is thought that he COM
mitted the deed while laboring under
temporary insanity. Deceased was

FILLING OLD WORKING.
Delaware and Hudson Company Is
Using Its Coal Dust to Good Ad-
vantage to Several Collieries.

The Delaware and Hudson company
have adopted the rather unique plan
Of filling up with culm the abandoned
veins in their mines throughout the
valley. BY this means two birds are
killed with one stone," inasmuch as
the waste culn is got rid of and the
abandoned workings arc filed up, pre-
venting cave-ins.
The plan Is at present in operation
at the VonStorch mines in North
Scranton, and at the Grassy Island
mines in Olyphant. 1t will be used in
the near future at the Oiyphant mines,
the I.eggett's Creek and the Baltimore
shafts, Nos. I and .. ar Wilies-Barre.
The plan of operation is very inter-
esting. A bore hole about a foot in
diameter is first bored through into the
vein to be filed and through it is put
an eight-inch pipe. At the bottom this
pipe is continued to whatever especial
point it is desired to fill up. 50 that
the lilling in process is confined to that
particular point.
1t has been found that the refuse
matter must be fine in order to pack
well, so a small crushcr is erected near
the mouth of the pipe. After passing
through this crusher the culm is car
ried by powerful stream of water
down through the pipe into the min"
The manner in which it packs itself
into the smallest interstices is truly
wonderful and it makes just as firm
a filling as the coal itself.
The water drains away to the other
portions of the mine and is pumped
out by the regulation mining pumps
The process is slow. but nevertheless
effectual. and though first adopted only
rs an experiment by the company. II
has now been decided to continue Il
| permanently.

CONTINUES TO INCREASE.
Postofice Business for January
$1,000 More Than December's.

The business at the local postofflce Is
increasing at such a wonderful rate
that it's now getting to be an oft-asked
question as to when the government
building will have to be enlarged.
The local authorities were amazed
when it was discovered that the busi-
ness done in the month of December
last was $14,579s2, which was the
largest up to that time, but they were
doubly amazed yesterday when on
figuring up it was discovered that the
business for January amounted to $15,-
G21. .93, an increase OF over $1,000.
This increase is the more remark
able when the fact is taken into con-
sideration that December was the holi-
day month. when Christmas presents
were being sent through the malls.

county Jail for contempt of court some

Permission was granted by Judge
Edwards and Cannon, in charge of
Deputy Sheriff John Melvin, had a

again that he will never sign his name
IL he has to die In Jail.

THEY ARE HAVING TROUBLE.
Express Companies Won't Carry
Liquid Air.

The promoters of the liquid air lee.
ture to be given this evening in the
High school auditorium by Prof. Albert
Wells have run UP against Il snag
which they hope, however, to sur.
mount.
The several express companies have
stated that they will not, under any
consideration. carry the stuff from
New York city, where 1t is manufac-
tured. to Scranton, deeming 1t liable
to explosion.
In order. therefore, to give the lee
ture this evening, it has been found
necessary to dispatch a trusted emis-
sary to New York with instructions tc
in some way smuggle the fluid atmos'
phcre into this city today.

 Make a Recount GENERAL HUMPHREYS DEAD Chamber of Commerce Commends Fly drographio Work Done by Govern ment- Delegates Appointed to
 Cotton Growers Convention
GENERAL HUMPHREYS DEAD

Huntsville, October 2S-(Special)- )-The people of Huntsville are very much wrought up over the result of the census as recently announced, giving the city population of less than a hundred over 5000. In the minds of the people who have watched the growth of the city during the past five years the census appears ridicu- lous. At an adjourned meeting of the Chamber of Commerce last night the cen- sus matter was taken up and a memorial to Director Merriam was drawn up request ing him to allow a recount. It is claimed that the enumerators did not do their work thoroughly, having failed to call on many families. One entire section of the city, it is alleged, was not visited by the census men.
 A committee consisting of the represen- tatives of the daily newspapers of the city, with Frank J. Thompson as chair man, was appointed to provide for the re- counting of the population of Huntsville.
 Gen. John M. Humphrey, aged about 75 years, died early yesterday at the home of his son, Prof. w. J. Humphrey, after an indisposition of several weeks.

Hum phrey, county superintendent of education and Prof. w. J. Humphrey, assistant prin- cipal of the city school
 The executive committee of the Chamber Of Commerce held meeting yesterday and drafted a memorial to the Secretary of the Interior commenting the photographic work that has been done in this State dur ing the past year and asking that the work be continued and increased. Dr. Eugene A. Smith, State geologist, is very much in- terested in the work of the department, and Is stirring up interest in it among the commercial organizations of the State.
 President Pratt, of the Chamber of Com merce, has appointed Col. R. B. Rhett, R. D. Pettus, N. F. Thompson and others as delegates to represent Madison County at the Convention of Cotton Growers in Ma con.
