An action for $4,000 damages was
instituted yesterday against the Scran-
ton Coal company. by Whitemore Jones
and his wife, Elizabeth, whose boy
Daniel, was killed at the Capouse coll
liery Jan. last, by being dragged
into the machinery of the breaker and
crushed TO death.
The plaintiffs represent that the boy
was hired as slate picker, but after
a time was put at cleaning the chains
which pass over the cOgs propelling a
culm belt-Cunveyor. This was a more
hazardous and dangerous occupation
than that for which he was engaged.
it is alleged. and on this account and
the further fact, as alleged, that the
boy was not properly instructed as to
the dangers Of the new work, the COM
pany was guilty of negligence, and
consequently liable for damages.
|. II. Burns and O'Brien n Martin
represent the plaintiffs.

FISHING AT SCOTCH CAP.

About Forty Boats Were Out Thera
 Yesterday-Rought Water.
 About forty boats were out on Long Island sound in the vicinity of the Scotch Cap reef, off Cosey Beach, yes- terday morning and afternoon, and a large quantity of large f1atf1sh was cap- tured. Two old men who were out nearly all day caught in the neighbor- hood of 100 pounds. There were several steam launches in the fishing fleet and business on the launches appeared io be lively The water was very rough late in the afternoon and some of the men odt in the small boats who waited until late in the afternoon had hard job of rowing before they got ashore. The wind, which had been blowing gently from the north veered late in the after noon to the westward and the parties in two or three boats were unable, owing to the wind and tide being against them, to land at Cosey Beach. where they had hired their boats. They were carried toward the lighthouse making a landing finally at a point half way be- tween the lighthouse and Cesey Beach, where they left their boats and then walked back to the Beach to notify the owner of the boats where to find them.

THE CORN MEAL GRIEVANCE.
The Way it is Prepared for the Market
 Enough to Make One Weep,

lie way It IS FTepafed TOT the MarKet
 Enough to Make One Weep, | Of all our food grievances to-day
 alas! how many they are-that touch
 ing corn meal Is perhaps the gravest and also the most far-reaching, since rich and poor are equally wronged. Gastronomically, there is no class of dishes which more surely tickle the un-
 spoiled or discriminating palate than
 those made from pure (naturaD corn
 meal, while there are none, from their
 inexpensiveness, so easily commanded
 by the poor.
 We have only to look at a healthy pig, In market condition to appreciate the wealth of nutritive gifts in corn. And when we reflect that that same animal is our nearest of kin physiolog- ically we wonder why we do not our selves receive greater physical benefit from the same source. The answer Is very simple-it Is commercially profit able to devitalize corn meal, as by so doing keeping qualities are developed not possessed by the pure produce. In fact corn meal, as commercially ham dled, is almost as free from liability to grow musty as asbestos, cork or steel filings, while it is somewhat more nu- tritious than any of these.
 To effect the desideratum mentioned above, the corn, instead of being dried by slow natural methods, is put into kilns and dried in few hours by q heat so intense that it's natural charac- teristic qualities of flavor etc, are en- tirely lost. But that is only half the outrage. If you have ever observed a granary to which rats have had access you will have noted that only the soft, white substance lying in the cone shaped depression of the corn kernel has been eaten away, leaving the rest of the kernel untouched. One would suppose that this discrimination was made because of the hardness of the portion rejected. but such Is not the case. These hard -toothed little robbers have a far wiser motive for their selec- tion. The soft substance in the corn kernel is the germ the vital part, the muscle builder. the brain feeder. And this germ because it will not granu- late and because it the most readily becomes musty, is entirely removed, leaving the devitalized portion rejected by the rat to be calcined in the kiln and | ground for our use.
 What wonder that it is odoress, 1 1avorless and that 1t passes through the E canal almost unchanged! !

ENTERTAINMENTS.
Uypertou I'henter.

The first act of "The Power Behind
 the Throne" the new play in which 1 Miss Mildred Holland will appear at | the Hyperion Thursday night next, Is
 described as being most beautiful ex-
 terior stage picture. It represents an
 Austrian willow grove, and walled-in flower garden, with an old German
 cottage on one side, To produce the
 desired effect thousands of plants and
 vines of various varieties are carried.
 The other three acts will be equally
 perfect in every detail, and all the nec-
 essary furniture was especially built for the production. The locale of the
 play is laid in an Austrian province at the end of the eighteenth century. The
 story is a typical one of intrigues Of
 that time, from which the author has
 evolved an exceedingly intense and irl-
 teresting drama, replete with many
 strong situa lions. The production will
 be on an elaborate scale, with hlstori-
 cally correct scenery, furniture and other accessories, while the company will be made up of well known artists, comprising Lillian Norris, Francis Brooke, Rita ONeal, Frederic Ormonde, Victor de Silke, w. A. Whitecar, Dwight Allen, Frank Drew, s. A. Rose, L. D. Wharton, Leonard Walker, Flor ence Renner and many others. Seats now on sale. Prices $l, 75 cents 50 cents, 35 cents and 25 cents.
 Few publications in recent years have acquired the frame attained by Win ston ChurchilIs "Richard Carvel," and in his Individuality as an artist John Drew stands alone. The association of the two, therefore occupies large share of public attention just at this time, when the Hyperion theater an- nounces for next Saturday Charles Frohman's stage production of the nov el, with MT. Drew as its star, with the same cast and scenery intact from the Empire theater, New York. Seats on sale Thursday. Prices $2 $1.5O, $1, 75 cents and 50 cents.
 Andrew Mack will introduce a num- Der of Tom Moore's famous songs in his new play, which will be presented at the Hyperion Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, May IS, 14 and 15, and which is named after the famed Irish poet. There will be also a few original The placing of Erin's immortal bard as central figure in an Irish play is a happy conception, and it is to be hoped that MT. Sayre has given MT. Mack play worthy of himself and worthy of the memory of Tom Moore. If he has, Andrew Mack will not need a new play for many year to come. | Seats on sale Friday. Prices S1, 10 | cents, 50 cents, 35 cents and 25 cents.
 Miss Viola Allen will present her new 1 play Tn the Palace of the King at | the Hyperion on Tuesday and Wednes- lay, May 21 and 22.
