Pnul StravnntsUI died in tho Lacka wanna hospital yesterday afternoon ns the result of a fractured Fkull caused by a JaKKed Btone hurled by drunken Patrick Battle In the White House oaloon on the nlcht of Saturday, April 2. Unttle had been ejected from the place but returned and threw the stone at the bartender. It missed tho latter and made n victim of Stravanlskl. an Innocent bystander. Hattlo tried to escape but was caught two blocks away and was sent to the county Jail the next day, Sunday, to await the result of Stravanlskl's In Jury, Several days later Stravanlskl had but slightly Improved. Hattle was then given a formal hearing1 und re committed to Jail without ball. Stravanlskl was so weak that an op eration could not be risked the night he was hurt. On the following day Dr. L.. Mt Gates, assisted by Drs. Webb and Newbury, of the hospital, removed from the Injured man's bruin u piece of bone twice as larsre as an ordinary sized thumb nail. It hud been depressed Into the bruin substance and produced con cussion. Tho fracture alone would commonly have produced death. PKIUODS OF CONSCIOUSNESS. I'lilll he died, Stravanlskl had only periods of consciousness. He slowly Improved, however, until Thursday, when his temperature showed a slight Increase. Assiduous nursing and care ful medical treatment was nil that could be done for him. His condition, however, did not positively indicate a possible fatal ending until Saturday noon. The Immediate and supplementary cause of death, supposed to be septic In Its nature and resulting from the blow, will be determined In an autopsy to be made by Coroner Longstreet to day. Battle had not been told up to this morning of his victim's death. On Sat urday he paced his cell uneasily and for the llrst time since his confinement Impressed his keepers that he had be come thoroughly concerned over his deed. His rather unsavory history was published aa follows In The Tribune of April 4: "His record Is bad. He Is 27 years old, was n laborer In tin Dickson mine nnd resided at 1717 MeDonough avenue. His wife Is an Inmate nt the Hillside Home and their fi-months-old child Is In St. Joseph's Foundling home. Battle has been under arrest for drunkenness nnd lighting. His wife sought the pro tection of the police two months ago, when the Associated charities took the case in hand and sent her to the Hill side Homo nnd her child to the Found ling Home." HEMAINS NOT CLAIMED. No friends of the dead Stravanlskl concerned themselves about his condi tion while he was lying half dead at the hospital. Tho officials there know nothing of his Identity beyond what was revealed In a memorandum book found In his pocket nnd which Indi cated he might be Paul Stravanlskl, who had worked as a mlner.ln Tripp's Flope. it was later said that he was from Peckville or Brlceburg.

Decomposed Dody of an Unknown Man Fished Out of the Lackawanna. May Have Been Murdered. The ghastly find of tho decomposed body of a man was made In the Lack awanna river Saturday afternoon In the vicinity of Miller's Held, near the lower steel mills. Identification of clothing or body will be almost impos sible on account of decomposition, the body evidently having been in the wat er for a month. Steve Daly nnd Frank Uronn, boys, pelted stones at the body, thinking It wus a dog's carcass. Edward Mur ray, Paul Smith and David BurKe, who were ut work on the tracks above the bank, were attracted to tho spot and formed the opinion that the body was that of a man. They fastened a wire to it and drew It to the bank. Only parts of outer and under cloth ing were on the body. The trousers hnd been partly pulled down over the shoes. This may have occurred be fore the body entered the water, and, further, may be significant of violence. In drawing the remains to the bank, however, there wus considerable re sistance, ns though the feet were fastened to something beneath the sur face and this may have been tho cause of the partial stripping of the trousers from the legs. The violence theory Is given color in the fact that the feet were attached to something and that the body was found In one of the deepest pools In the river. It Is In a locality devoid of habitation, and can be reached only witludlflleulty from the west bank on account of brush und rocks. Coroner Longstreet and the police were not told of the find until after 8 o'clock. The former and Chief Bob ling Immediately visited the scene, where a Jury was Impanelled nnd nn investigation begun. An ugly looking gash was noticed behind the left ear. The body was at once Interred In Wnshburn street cemetery by Under taker Price. Appearances Indicate the mnn was a Pole, about fi feet and 1(1 Inches In height and of good physique. Tho inoustaciv wns of a light brown color. The Jury Impanelled In the case will hold nn adjourned Inquest Friday eve ning. m LIKES UNCLE SAM FOR A BOSS. Ex-Postmaster .McDonald Continues in (ioveriinient's Servico.

Uncle Sam's magic circle saved one of Liveryman lllley Edwards' drivers from spending last night In n Btatlon house cell, nnd If what the police ofll cers say Is true, there Is room for re gret thut the aforesaid magic circle In tervened, Ike Seldman, "runner" for tho Union Transfer company nnd incidentally a special olllcer, was chatting nt the Deluwnre, Lackawanna and Western station nt midnight with Detective John Molr, when Georgo Lance, em ployed by Liveryman Edwards in driv ing the mull wagon, happened along and, It Is nlleged, gave evidence by his uctlons of having helped. In n very ma terial way In the violation of one ot the Sabbath laws. Seldman made some Joking remark to Detective Molr about the condition which the mall driver wns In and Lance overheard it. He retorted In angry tones, but was quieted by the detective and told to go about his business. SEIDMAN OVERTAKEN. About ten minutes later, while walk ing up Lackawanna avenue, Seldman was overtaken by the mail wagon. Lance espied him and, halting his horse, commenced to assail Seldman with op problous names. Julius Coons, another of Edwards' drivers, who was on tho wagon, Jumped off and ndvnnced to wards Seldman in a threatening man ner. Seldman warned him that he was a special ofllcer and that If he created any disturbance he would be arrested. This only made Coons the more turbu lent and li,loud tones he heaped the vilest kind of abuse on the special offi cer. Seldman warned him again to de sist und, when he refused, told him he could consider himself under arrest, and readied his hand out to tnke hold of him. At this Lance dropped the reins, de serted his wagon with Its precious bur den and pitched into the special of llcer. Coons lent a hand, and between them they guve the unfortunate Seld man a brutal drubbing. He wns half conscious and his fnce bruised and cov ered with blood when Detective Molr nnd Patrolman Boland pulled his vic ious assailants from off him. The law that forbids the nrrest of a person In charge of United States mail made It Impossible to tako Lance Into custody, but he was to be arrested at R.15 this morning, when ho goes off duty. Coons was taken to the station house nnd locked up, while Seldman wns as sisted to a nearby hotel for repairs. THEATRICAL ATTRACTIONS. The AkorNtrom Company.

The salaries of tho bankers ot Kan sas are not so largo as popularly sup posed. In nccot dance with the now banking law, Bank Commissioner Broldenthnl has required the state and private bankers of Kansas to file with his de partment statements showing the re ceipts nnd disbursements of these In stitutions; In other words, to show the expense of running them, This has never been required before. The state ments ure prepared by the bank offi cers, not the cashier, und show In do lull where every cent has been spent. They are sworn to. Thero are in the neighborhood ot 375 state and private banks In Kansas. The sworn statements Just sent In by the olllcers of those institutions show that less than twenty-llvo presidents ot state nnd private banks draw sal aries. Muny people believe that all presidents nre on the pay roll. Those who draw pay devote their entire at tention to the bankV affairs. Tho sal aries of these are .mostly under $1,000 a year. Three of them draw $2,500; a dozen or more draw only $500 a year each. The average salary of cashiers Is about $1,000 a year. A number draw $l.S0O to $2,500, but these ure offset by the 200 or more who get from $G00 to $720 a year. Tho cashier of the larg est bank In the state gets only $2,500. The cnshler of one western Kunsas bank gets $25 a month and boards himself. Kunsas bank clerks as a rtue are not overpaid. Some of them get as high as $1,000, but the average of them get about $4S0. "Clerk hire, $200," is a familiar entry on the statements. On ly one bank In the state spends over $10,000 a year for running expenses. That is the largest one, and Its salary list last year aggregated $13,040. Of this amount tho president got $2,500 und tho cashier $2,500. Tho next high est wns $8,500, the third $5,GS0 and the fourth $4,790. The rest all run under $4,000. The expense account, all told, of the majorty of them, averaged less than $2,000.
