Judge Fell made his experiment. The
four young men we're James Platter
Dennis, a grandson Of Judge Fell;
Henry Martyr Hoyt, afterward gov
ernor of Pennylvania; John Butler
Conyngham and Stanley Woodward,
afterward a leading lawyer of the
state.
Thus they became the founders Of
the Wyoming Historical ard Geologi-
cal society. It is this organization
hat now proposes to celebrate the
Tooth anniversary of the experiment
Of Judge Fell.
It was at a meeting OF the society
that the facts concerning the old
Jesse Fell CRATE were learned. A pa.
per on Where is the crate on which
Jesse Fell made his successful ex-
pertinent Of burning anthracite coal?'
was read before the meeting by Rev.
H. e. Hayden.
Mr.. Hayden has come to the con
clusion that the original crate is not
now in existence, and that the only
well authenticated CRATE extant be.
longing to Judge Fell" is that hereto.
fore known as the Herman or Eick
CRATE and now in the possession OF
the society.
Concerning the original crate as
many as six statements are made.
The first is that the CRATE was made
of hickory withes. Mr.. Hayden de.
clares this untrue.
Next comes the Marble CRATE, SO
called because its claims were first
put forth by Col. j. NJ. G. Marble,
president of the First National bank
of Los Angeles. He states that while
visiting his grandfather at Wyoming
he was told the story of Judge Fells
experiment.
According to this story some iron
bars were set in the old chimney,
which is still in existence in the Fell
house, bricks were piled in front and
on the sides and on the iron bars a
fire Of hickory wood was built. Coal
was then procured and placed on the
fire, and it burned nicely.
Judge Fell was so pleased, the story
continues, that he took out this CRATE
and had another more substantial one
made on the following day. This, then,
disposes of the original CRATE.
In 1858 there was no CRATE in the
fireplace. The projectors of the his.
torical society secured from a Mr.,
Carpenter an old CRATE which had
been used by Judge Fell and placed It
in the fireplace for this celebration,
The old crate was worn out, and
whether it was the one made by
Judge Fell after his first experiment
or what became of it afterward is not
known.
Later in Judge Fell's life he mar
ried a widow named Culver. When
in 1880 they moved from the old Fell
house they took the CRATE with them,
and this is the CRATE now in the pos
session of the Historical society.
The old CRATE now in the original
fireplace at the Fell house, was, &C
cording to Capt, Calvin Parsons
placed in the fireplace by him in 1878
when a centennial celebration was
held for the Wyoming massacre.
When in 1906 the original tavern
was torn down the old fireplace and
chimney were preserved intact and
now occupy a place of honor in the
new building.

GIRL DEAD BY LIGHTNING

Ensley. August I--(SpecaI)-A sad and unfortunate accident occurred early this morning about 1 o'clock which resulted in the death of J. H. Evans, who re- sides with his parents at Wylam. The young man was employed by the Br- mingham Southern Railway company as night yardmaster. While assisting to re- move a wrecked car from one of the tracks near the steel plant he stopped over when pistol which he carried in a shoulder holster fell and, striking the rail, was discharged and the bullet enter- GU the bottom of the throat, passed through his neck, injurng the spinal col umn. He was carried as quickly as possible to Dr. G. B. Oopeland's infirm- ary in Birmingham. There was little hope for recovery, however, and he died at lO;3O o'clock. Mr. Evans was we'll known in Ensley and Wylam, having spent most of his life here. He was about 27 years old and very popular in railroad circles and among his many friends and acquaintances.
 Ills father, MT. Henry Evans, is one of Wylam's prominent citizens and was formerly a member of the board of alder men. The sympathy of the entire com munity is extended to the bereaved fam fly The interment will take place to- morrow at Oakland cemetery.

 Mrs Davis is one of the best known and most popular young ladies in the city, while MT. Davis is q young man Of sterling qualities and now holds the posi- ton of business manager of the Spencer Business college in Birmingham.
 The marriage took place this evening at the parsonage of the Southside Baptist church, and the ceremony was performed by the Rev. Mccormick, pastor of the church. Mrs. Davis had intended making a visit to friends in Fulton Springs, but when she got to Birmingham she met MT Davis and they decided that they would be married at once.
 Mrs. Davis is the daughter of MT. and Mrs. M. P. Reynolds of this city, and has many friends that wish for the couple a lifetime of happiness.
 Mrs Davis had accepted a position in the school as teacher and was to have taken charge of her class in September However, since cupid positively refuses to make any distinctions it will devolve upon the Board of Education to appoint someone to take her place.
