CAUSE OF DEATH A MYSTERY
Dover, Del.,, May 6.—The body of
Horace Marvin, Jr., which was found
on Saturday floating in a pool of wa-
ter less than half a mile from where
he was last seen playing on March 4,
was interred in “Bay Meadow Lawn,”
on the Marvin farm.
All the little fellow’s playmates and
fully 1000 neighbors joined the Mar-
vin family in mourning his death and
attended the funeral services, which
were conducted by Revs. Hugh B. Jel-
80 and E. H. Nelson.
Prior to the funeral 24 men, com-
posing Coroner Calloway’s jury, offi-
cially identified the body and author-
ized the performing of the autopsy.
The jury was then discharged to re-
convene at the call of the coroner.
There is much to make it appear
that the little boy for whom detec-
tives searched so long, wandered away
and fell exhausted into the pool on
the marshes where his body was found.
Drs. James H. Wilson, Wilbur D.
Burton, William F. Hoey and Alfred
Robyn, the latter a bacteriologist, are
trying to determine the cause of death
for the coroner, and have decided that
he did not drown, although the body
was found in a pool of water. No
marks of violence were found on the
body, and the physicians say that a
ridge across the back about four inches
wide, that might have been made by
the wheel of a wagon passing over it,
was caused by the body swelling on
either side of the waist band of his
kilt suit. The doctors will not say
whether or not the child froze to death.
The stomach, which was removed by
Dr. Robyn, was empty, and the child
may either have been frozen or starv-
ed to death. The condition of the
stomach indicates, according to the
physicians, that the boy suffered pri-
vation for at least 40 hours prior to
death.
Many of the jurymen and detectives
are of the opinion that the boy wan-
dered around his father’s farm, and in
his efforts to get back home over the
frozen marshes became exhausted
and fell into the pool, where he died
from exhaustion and privation. A few
still believe that the little fellow was
murdered.
Though the detectives are of the
opinion that the boy fell into the pool
and died, they are perplexed at the
finding of the body so near to the
Marvin home, and at a point which
they seem to have gone over again
and again. To have reached the spot
where the body was found the boy
must have walked across frozen and
snow-covered fields in the face of a
driving wind, and then climbed two
high embankments, besides crawling
through a barbed-wire fence.
The boy's body, wearing the same
clothes which the little fellow had on
the day he disappeared, was found de-
posited on the bay meadows marsh,
about a half mile from the straw stack
on which he was last seen on March
4. Dr. Marvin, the little fellow's fa-
ther, who has searched over the same
marsh day and night since the disap-
pearance, and who, with Superintend-
ent Bearse, of the Philadelphia Pink-
erton’s, burned the grass off level with
this identical spot and saw no boy
four weeks ago, is satisfied that the
little fellow did not die there. Over-
burdened with his grief and weeping
like a child, Dr. Marvin received the
news of the finding of the body from
Ollie Pleasanton, a neighbor, who was
gunning for ducks on the marsh when
he chanced to discover the boy.
The child's clothing was intact, and
just as it was on the day of his dis-
appearance. Even the mittens were
still on his hands. His knitted wool-
en cap was pulled down over his face,
the tassel, however, being almost torn
off. The child's face is much discol-
ored,
“Delaware has left its mark of sor-
row on my brow, and before the gall
of autumn has come I hope to be back
again with my relatives and old friends
in Sioux City, Ia.” declared Dr. Mar-
vin, as he stood at the foot of the
mound that marks the spot where the
body of his 4-year-old son, Horace,
was buried.
“I intend to sell my place at Bay
Meadows and to take the remains of
little Horace back hgme with me. 1
cannot rest in peace on the place that
has brought to me so much sorrow,
and I will be glad when I quit it. Why
should I stay here? Everything on
the place will only serve to bring to
my memory the awful fate that my
‘Chubby’ met, and I cannot get away
from it quickly enough.”
Raided “Black Hand.”
Johnstown, Pa., May 6.—County De-
tective Berkebile and 25 members of
Troop D, of the state constabulary, sr
rested 14 Italians at Barnesboro on
charges of conspiracy. Preceding the
raid, an Italian was shot and badly
wounded by a member of the Black
Hand because he refused to advance
the society a sum of monty. The ar-
rests were made without difficulty.
Trouble had been anticipated, as the
Italians threatened all sorts of trou-
ble if any attempt was ever made to
molest them. Not one of them, how-
ever, had a word to say.
Three Men Held For Murder.
Mount Holly, N. J., May 4.—At the
conclusion of the inquest into the
death of David Beebe, whose body,
with the head crushed, was found
early Sunday near Clairsville, three
men were held on a charge of murder.
They were Caleb Rogers, Theodore
Wells and Walter Simon, who are al-
leged to have been with Beebe imme-
diately preceding his death.
“BLACK HAND” GANG GUILTY
Eleven Convicted By Wilkes-Barre
Jury of Conspiracy.
Wilkes-Barre, Pa., May 7.—Eleven
eof the 13 Italians who had been on
trial here, charged with “Black-Hand"
crimes, were declared guilty in the
Luzerne county court when the sealed
verdict of the jury was opened. The
other two defendants were acquitted.
Those found guilty are Charles Buffu-
lina, Antonio Tagloriana, Charles Gon-
zaza, Josep Cornelia, Steven Latore,
Salvatore Luchinna, Pietro Luchinna,
Charles Domenican, Guachina Cim-
mone, Vincent Loubouna and Chrales
Cornella. Those acquitted are Salva-
tore Volpand and Andrea Paternostra.
The principal charge against the men
at the trial was the blowing up of the
home of an Italian named Rizzo be-
cause he refused to pay money to a
band of men calling themselves the
“Black-Hand” Society.
Counsel for the 11 convicted men
made motions for a new trial. Judge
Halsey said he would hear argument
on the motion next Saturday. The
penalty for the crime for which the
Italians were convicted is two years.
HELD TRAIN TO KILL GAMBLER
Loser at Cards Murders Winner and
Takes Money From Pockets.
Savannah, Ga, May 7.—Henry Mani-
gault and James Lewis played cards
here, and luck was with Lewis, who
soon won $50, all the @ ey Manigault
had. Manigault accused Lewis of
cheating, got a repeating rifle and went
hunting for him.
Manigault learned that Lewis had
hid on a train that was about to pull
out. He moved up the track about 300
vards and as the train came on slowly
Manigauit covered the engineer and
ordered him to stop. The engineer
paid no atention, and Manigault sent
a bullet through the cab. The engineer
then stopped. Meanwhile Lewis leaped
from the train and ran. Manigault sent
three bullets after him, all of which
took effect. Manigault then ran to the
dying man and took from his pockets
the $50 he had lost at cards. He then
held a crowd at bay with the rifie and
made his escape.
STEEL PASSENGER CARS
Pennsy Orders 200 For Use In New
York Tunnels.
Philadelphia, May 3.—An order for
200 steel passenger cars, to be used in
the New York tunnel was placed by
the Pennsylvania railroad. When the
New York terminal was started the
Pennsylvania officials said that only
steel cars would be used in the tun
nels, and it is stated that 1000 pas
senger cars and 500 Pullmans will be
required. Two types of cars are to be
used. For long distances a 70-foot car,
seating 88 passengers, will be made
and for suburban traffic a car 53 feet
long which will seat about 70 passen-
gers. This car is to be made so that
it can be converted into a motor car.
The new cars are said by the company
to be capable of resisting four times
as great a shock as the standard
wooden coaches, and are practically
collision proof.
A BRUTAL MURDER
Man's Eody With 34 Stab Wounds
Found In River.
Philadelphia, May 6.-—A brutal mur
car was brought to light here with the
finding of the body of an un-
known man floating in the Schuyl
kill river near the centre of the city.
A rope was knotted tightly around the
dead man’s neck, and when the body
was examined by the police 34 stab
wounds were found in an area of 10
inches covering the heart. The man's
neck had been fractured, one arm was
broken and his lower jaw and chin
had heen cleft open.
The body was identified as that of
John Lovett, but he turned up alive
and well and reported to the police. As
yet there is no clue to the identity of
the dead man.
KUROKO STARTS EAST
Japanese Party On Their Way to
Jamestown Exposition.
Seattle, May 6.—General Baron Ku-
roki and party, with General MacAr-
thur and staff as an escort, left Seattle

sul at Seattle, gave the general a large
bouquet of roses on behalf of the la-
dies’ patriotic society. General Kuro-
ki and party will represent Japan at
the Jamestown Exposition.

KILLED HIS FATHER
Son Fired Fatal Shot in Defense of
Mother and Brother.
Baltimore, May 3.—J. Henry Middle-
karp, a 17-year-old youth, shot and
killed his father in their home at Ca-
tonsville, Baltimore county, in defense,
it is alleged, of his mother’s life. Mid-
dlekarp, Sr, who was a night watch-
man at the United States sub-treasury
here, returned home and began beating
his wife, it is averred. Another son
went to her assistance when the man
grabbed both his wife and son by their
throats and began choking them. At
this moment Henry appeared with a
revolver and fired a bullet into his
father, the latter dying almost in-
stantly.

Lungs as Busters.
Out in St. Louis they used to let the city
water settle before drinking it; they bad to
for fear of swallowing live minnows con-
cealed in its turpid depths. Any man pot
taking a mud cure who on the plea of clean-
liness deliberately stirred up the sediment
in such a glass of water preparatory to im-
bibing it would be truthfully described as
a fool. Yet justsuch an imbecile method
as this is almost universally practiced in
the process of house cleaning.
In a recent address to the Practitioners’
Society Dr. T. Mitchell Prudden, professor
of pathology at Columbia University, call-
ed attention to the facs that although hu-
man langs were obvionsly never intended
as feather dusters, this is a purpose to which
pearly every city pair is constantly put.
While some of us, he said, are mighty
particular about the cleanliness of our |
clothing, of our food aud drink, and the |
utensils in which these are served, and the !
exterior of our persons, we make no pro-
test as we hear away upon the delicate |
membranes of our respiratory organs from | |
places of public concourse the pulverized {
excretions of the filthy and diseased * * * |
In a cousiderable proportion of cases in |
theaters and court rooms, in offices and
public conveyances, in factories and stores, |
the floating dust of today is pregnant with |
the spit of yesterday.
Indeed, it seems that the only systematio
and effective measure of dost removal in
most places of public meeting is passage of |
the air through the human breathing ap- |
paratue. No matter how dusty and germ |
laden the inspired air may be, it comes out
of the lungs almost entirely freed from |
these impurities. The efficacy of this meth-
od of dusting a theater may be readily es- |
timated hy remembering that an average |
man takes into his respiratory organs some-
where near thirty cabio inches of air at)
each breath, and hence about twenty Himes |
this amount every minute.
Dry dusting of any variety, whether with |
feather duster, cloth or broom, or whether |
in dining room, theater or the streets, is an
abomination, says Dr. Prudden. If this
hygienic absurdity of stirring the dust into |
the air instead of washing it away through |
the sewers could be abolished and some ef- |
fective check be placed on the also uni- |
|
i
versally popular spitting, we should be |
able to record a decrease instead of an in-
crease in infections discases of the reapira- |
tory tract. Dr. Prudden believes that it is |
just as much a part of the health depart- |
ment’s duty to see that the people have |
clean air to breathe as that they have pure
water to drink and wholesome food to eat.
