Claude Walker, aged 15 years, a resident oC Nicholson, met death on he Lackawanna railroad near Theo dore street, Bomo time between S o'clock Sunday evenhuj and D o'clock yesterday morning, when his man-sled- remains were found strewn atons tho tracks by a hunter on his way to the woods. From tho marks on the head and the peculiarity of the injuries sus tained, there Is n. possibility of his having mot with foul play In addition to belner run over by a train. Ills right lei? is completely severed nt the knee joint, tho muscles having been cut through, and his left hand hangs' by a thread of flesh. There la a compound fracturo or the skull over tho left oye, extending1 across to tho other side, and another fracture at tho base of tho brain. This latter Injury Is sufllelent to have caused his death, hut how tho fractures were caused is a matter of conjecture. Over tho loft eye there Is a crus' Ing of tho flsh and bono, upon tho body of tho brain sufllelent to produce paralysis of speech or tho motion of the left nrm, and the brain is depressed from one-half to threo fiuarters of an Inch from the frontal bone, Tho brain Is also conjested on tho left side, and there Is a clot of blood formed wheru .ho bono pene trated the tissue. These Injuries could easily have caused his death, but how they worn caused Is not known. From outward appearances, It would neem they were caused by some blunt Instrument. Tho indications of foul play, however. are found In tho cuts on his forehead and face. Directly over tho left eye, which Is discolored, there are several sharp cuts, as. If caused by a knife or razor, and there Is another similar cut over tho right oyo, extending along hs cheek and neck, which look very suspicious, There'are ulso two abrasions of the flesh on tho left side, between the hip end the ribs, as If he had been kicked or bruised. The theory that he met With foul play Is drawn from tho na ture of his Injuries. With his Bkull crushed In, and his flesh cut, how ho could managa to have his left hand Sit ami right leg Revered Is more than Dr. Huberts could determine when he inntle nn nti.topsy on the body. Walker was employed tip to nfoout a month ngo, by Eugene Hrown( a milk denier nt 107 Mnrlon street, Qreen Kldge, who identified the re. mains at T. I Uegan's morgue Inst evening. Since ho loft Hrown'n em ploy, tho young man had been alter nating between the ihomo of his mother, Mrs. Price, at Nicholson, his aunt's, Mrs. Johnson', nt the corner of Penn avenue and Mulberry street, and Brown's place. He left the lntter plnre Sunday evening about 8 o'clock and nothing wns Been or heard of him until the afternoon papers published on ac count of his death, nt'd Mr. Jlrown rend the description of Walker's cloth ing. Front what could bo learned, Wal ker was In the hnblt of riding up and down from Nicholson on coal and freight trains, and only a short time, ago fell tinder tho wheels of a mov ing trains and narrowly escaped be ing killed. Ho was unuiunlly largo for his age, being five feet six Inches tall and weighing about 145 pound's. He wns neatly attired In a light checkered suit, and wore n plaid cap and Oxford russet shoes, blue stock ings with white dots, and a pink land white outing shirt. Tho only articles found on his person vore a fifty-cent piece, a pln-cnrd bearing tho name of the I.nrktn Soap company, and a ticket advertising the show In tho Academy of Music this week. There, was nothing about his person by which ho could have been Identified, except his clothing, as already de scribed. Coroner Itnhcrts made tho autopsy late yesterday afternoon, and revealed the extent of Wnlknr's Injuries, to the following jury, which was empanelled and viewed tho remains: Joseph T. Powell, P. J. Lynett. W. G. Moser, Philip Malla, Thomas Moffat and W. P. Hughes. An Inquest will be held In the case In a few days. Walker's relatives at Nicholson have boon notified, and tho remains will bo taken there for Interment. THIEVES MADE A VERY RICH HAUL They Secured Jewels Valued nt Over $1,500 in the Residence of Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Simpson. Between 6 and G.30 o'clock last even ing the residence of C. D. Simpson, at .SLTi Olive street, was entered by thieves and between $1,500 and $J,0)0 worth of jewelry belonging to Mrs. H. H. Brady was secured. Mrs. Brady's dressing room on the second floor was the only apartment visited by the burglars, who evidently wore content with the rich haul of diamond neclaces, bracelets, etc., which they there secured. They are supposed to have effected an entry Into the house by climbing up to the second floor, uring the porch pillars as their ladders, and it is thought that they also used this mode of egress. Mr. and Mrs. Simpson are at pres ent in New York city, and Mr. and Mrs. Brady were alone in the house. Mr. Brady came down stairs to dine about '6 o'clock, from the second floor, and at the close of the dinner, Mrs. Brady wont upstairs and into her apartment, immediately discover ing the loss of her valuables. Police headquarters were notified, and Chief Kobling and Detective Moir visited the house and took a list of tho misusing jewelry. m THURSDAY IS DONATION DAY.

JH. -John Gllroy, TO MANDAMUS CONTROLLER THAT'S WHAT SCHOOL BOARD DECIDED TO DO. At Last Night's Meeting the Report of tho Building Committee Direct ing tho Board's Attorney to Go Into Court and Have Controller Compelled to Sign Warrant for First Payment on the McNally Property Wns Adopted Report of the Board's Viewers. The school board nt Its mooting last night unanimously adopted a report of tho building committee nnent tho Mc Nally lots In Bellcvue directing tho solicitor of the board to go Into court and take tho necessary steps to ob tain nn order of court compelling Con troller Howell to countersign the war rant for the first payment which ho has refused polntblank to nfllx his sig nature to because ho believes the price paid to be exorbitant. It will be remembered that the school THE FARMERS E. J. Northup, the owner of Northup Hill farm at Glenburn, a'nd one of the foremost agriculturalists of this part of the state, gives these reasons why he believes McKlnley should be elected: "I am for the re-election of William McKlnley, on account of his wise and patriotic management of this government during the paBt four years, which will make his memory as lasting as Abraham Lincoln's. "An honest dollar and a tariff protecting our manufacturing in terests, gives employment to the people, making them prosperous and contented; therefore making demand for farm and dairy pro ducts, and thereby gives the farmer a fair recompense for his labor, who probably works more hours than any of the laboring classes. "I am a farmer nnd therefore a Republican." board entered Into a contract with P. McNally, of the Sixth ward, for the purchase of two lots, each FJOxloO feet, the consideration to be $4,300 cash and the old school property, including both building and land, the district to be allowed to use the building until such time as a new structure was built. The controller refused to sign tho warrant for the first payment of $1,000, and had two appraisers, George Cooper and G. F. Reynolds, investigate and report on the value of the property. They leported that $2,100 and the school pioperty was all that should 6"o paid for the property nnd pointed out that by purchasing the Corcoran prop erty $1,800 could be saved. The con troller ilguted out that the actual loss to the district by purchasing the Mc Nally property would be an even $4,000. BIDS WERE RECEIVED. The committee's report points out that the controller of the Sixth ward secured bids from various parties de sirous of selling land to the district, and that these bids were considered by the building committee in open meet ing and Mr. McNally's proposition ac cepted after due deliberation. The report states that the members of the committee were not satisfied with the report of the viewers appoint ed by the controller because certuln circumstances were not taken into con sideration at all. Then follows the report of two viewers appointed by the building committee to look Into the matter and appraise the value of the various properties. These viewers weie I. L. Williams nnd John Benore. These two viewers value the McNal ly property in its present condition at $8,700; tho land being valued at $3,200 and the buildings at $5,.00. The value of the school property which It Is proposed to give Mr. McNally in ad dition to the $4,300, is placed at $2,400. Then tho viewers take Into considera tion a fact which was not taken Into consideration by the controller's view ers. This is the fact that If any other proposition than flint of Mr. McNal ly's were accepted it would be neces sary to hire annexes, while a new building was being built. They figure that thee annexes would cost to rent for one year and to fit up properly just $.,,r.l5, which added to $3,r,00, the cost of the Corcoran lot, would bring tho total up to $0,015, if the Corcoran lot was purchased. From this they subtract the $4,300 to ho paid by the school board, and thus figure out that the school board would lose $1,715 If the Corcoran lot was purchased, com paring It with the McNally proposi tion. THEY OVERLOOK THIS. The viewers neglec'el to add to tho $1,300, their own valuation of $2,400 placed on the school board property to be given to McNally In addition to tho latter amount. Had tlioy dono this, It would be found that on tho face of It the McNally offer Is really $0S3 above their own Ilgures on tho Corcoran proposition. Tho committee's report a little fur ther oh, however, explains that In case tho Corcoran property were bought, It would be neeci'sary to erect a retaining wall on it, an Improve ment which would not bo necessary If the McNalloy lots are bought, they being on a level with tho street. The fact is also mentioned that no annexes of a suitable nature aro procurable In COURSEN'S GEM FLOUR has had many imitations but the genuine can only be pur chased with our name, "Gour sen's Gem Flour," on barrel or sack.

' In conclusion the report stales that tho transaction wiib entirely free from any objectionable features nnd directs the attorney of tho board to go Into court to compel the controller to Rlgn, Tho report was accompanied with nn opinion from the board's at torney, D.

The following additional recommen dations of tho building committee wore also adopted. SOME UKCOMMKXDATtONS.

Duckworth was dlreotPc to prepare plans and specification." for a two-room addition to No. 35 school, to accommodate children now closeted in a pokey and unhealthy room In tho attic. There was a little oblection on the part of Messis. Shires and Leon ard to this plan, but the rest of the board favored It, and it went through with a rush. A surprise was spiuns on .some of the members by M". Walsh, wh.i moved that ex-Controller John M. Casey, of the Sixth waid, be appointed to the position in tho supply room vacated yesterday by John Winters, who was sentenced to spend three months in the county Jail for selling liquor without a license. Captain May thought that they could do without an extra man, and Chair man Evans, of the supply committee, said that he had heard of no vacancy, and that If there was one that It was not necessary to engage another man. It was finally decided to refer the mat ter to the supply committee. Four bids were received for portable annexes, but before opening them the board docldod that the number was too small and directed the secretary to re advertlse, all bids to be In his Hands by 7.30 Monday night, the contract to be awarded by the special committed appointed to look Into the matter and the high and training committee.

Crawford, general superintendent of the Temple Iron company. District President T. D. Nichols said to a Tribune man last night that ho thought It very probable the strike could be called off without the neces sity of another convention, providing the operators meet the one require ment stipulated by President Mitchell. All the district officers have been called to meet with President Mitchell nnd the national officers In Hazloton tomorrow. If the compliance xvlth the demand for a time guarantee Is gen oral by tomorrow, It Is expected the strike will be called off tomorrow night or Thursday. President Nichols further said to a Tribune man that the efforts to stop the xvasherles from operating wero not directed from headquarters and that, he did not deem such actions ex pedient at this time. The report that a general movement against the wnsheries in and immediately about Scranton xvas contemplated for today had reached him as a tumor, he said, and he' would send'woid out advising that the movement be postponed for a time. As the Story Had It. The story had It definitely that a concerted move was to be made against the Diamond washery by the West Side strikers at 5 o'clock this morning. They proposed to surround the place xvlth pickets, located at a good distance from the company's premises, and endeavor by nigument to dissuade tho msn from going to work. Similar action xvas to be taken at other xx-asherles, It xx-as stated. The strikers succeeded in getting out the workmen from the Grassy Is land xxashery, at Olyphant, yesterday moining, but did not succeed In shut ting doxvn the plant completely. The supeilntendents and bo&ses took the workers' places and managed to load about six cars during the day. The strikers were on hand ns parly as 5 a. in., and came from x'arlous directions. One delegation came from Olyphant, numbering several hundred, and an other large contingent came from the direction of WInton. They complete ly surrounded the works and as the xvnshery hands put in an appearance, they xvere Induced to loin their ranks. They sucseeded In this and crippled the washery for the day. The crowd stayed about the place till nearly noon, when they gradually disappeared. The strikers say they xvill bo on hand again this morning. Tho application of T. B. Hoxx'e to have the strike raised nt his nexv separator In Green Ridge, xx-as passed upon yesterday afternoon by the dis trict executive board, and granted. Mr. Hox'o agrees to advance tho wage? of his men ten per cent, and to supply coal only to the schools. Were a Trifle Wild. Yesterday afternoon's local papers xvere not quite as wild in their guesses as usual, but their misstatements make necessary a few little correc tions. The denial by the Truth of The Tribune's announcement of a meeting of local presidents Sunday af ternoon xvas a denial of a positive fact, which no one but tho Truth seemed to be Ignorant of. The announcement of tho Times that the Delaxvure, Lackaxvanna and West ern brenker whistles xvere blown "for work" yesterday morning was an er tor. Tho Truth's announcement that tho local officers of the Mlne Workers xvere In irazleton xvas wholly Inexcusable. President Nich ols and Secretary Dempsey xvere about headquarters most of the day. President Nichols says the call ing out of tho pump runners and en gineers la a possibility If tho striken! are forced to go to extremes, but nothing has been done yet looking toxx'ards such a move.
