Following are same extracts of a let
ter received from Samuel Sears, one of
Carbondnle's soldier boys doing duty In
tho far east. The letter was dated at
Manila, Monday, October 15. Among
othor things, he says:
I am cnjoylnjj good health and am Retting fit.
I urn just settled down nnd 1 puos 1 will make
thin my home the rest of my enlistment. I am
stationed at Simllon. It Is a very smalt town
up tho river from Manll.i ahout scvcnty-llvo
miles. Tho weather Is very warm hcie and wo
arc liavlnc n great deal of rain. I vlll,cnd you
a parer telling all about our trip on the (.hip,
the Meade. This Is a very queer country. Manila
is a big city. I saw some of the work llcucy did
with his gun bonis, ltct raided the old Many
with tome of the Spinluli parts. Tho Philippine
people look much like the Cubans only they are
not to black.
I have about one more year to scuc. Our
quarters are in one of the rlmrchc. 1 Mippnsp
you have teen water buffaloes in the shows.
Thoy use theme here as one would horses in tho
states. Wc have bananas and other kind of
fruits growing right before our door. Tlieie arc
only two other Carbondalo boja here. One Is
Mat Kearney and the oilier Will Ilrnly. They
arc both well. If you look in the paper, I send,
you will find a eoiig about our company. Tell
father I can fish all 1 like now. We are right
by a big lake and there are loin of ll-.li in it,
but I would rather be at old Htantmi pond. Tell
him wo will soon have a fulling trip together.
Only a jcar more to wait and that isn't long
when you eay it quick.
Mr. Sears Is in Company M, Fifteenth
Infantry.
The Storm.
The rainfall in this city yesterduy
was the heaviest for a very long time.
Under its Influence the Lackawanna
river was Impelled to rush along in
mad baste and the miniature rapids
half filled the stoneabutments. In some
of the low-lying sections cellars were
flooded and damage done. At the city
building a leak in the tin gutters floods
ed the sidewalks and at tho Anthracite
building the basement area leading
Into the barber shop wns badly
Bwnmped. A pump was manipulated
by hand to clear away the surolus.
Very few persons were seen on the
streets. At nightfall the rain was
mixed with snow, which made walking
very disagreeable.
Making Sure of Hydrants.
The Mitchell Hose company, with
their red wagon and span of 'black
horses, were out yesterday In the pour
ing rain testing tho fire hydrants in the
three upper wards and seeing tliat
everything was in good order should a
call come. The Mitchells, accordingly,
were out of service yesterday nnd wilt
not answer alarms until this special
work Is completed. The Columbia Hose
company, should an alarm be turned In
from any "part of the city, will answer
It. After tho Mitchells have tested tho

RESCUED HIS BODY
FROM MEDICAL SCHOOL
Pathetic Sequel to the Story of the
Killing' of J. B. Metz, on the
Xnckawanna Bond.
A pathetic sequel nttacihes tu the
story of tilt- killing: of. John 13. Jlutz,
the young" man who met IiIm death on
the Ij.'ickawanna road, near Nuy Aug",
November 20, last.
It will be remembered he was walk
ing through here on his way from
Blngliamton to Kaston, nnd just after
he had had u talk with the eto-tender
at No. (i, some railroad men found his
mangled remains on the track a short
distance above the crossing.
The body was placed in the Lacka
wanna hospital morgue, by direction of
Coroner Roberts, nnd held there the
customary period, after which it wns
sent to tho Anatomical society In
Philadelphia, pursuant to the state
laws.
In the satchel which he carried was
found a Bible, on tho fly-leaf of which"
wus written: "J. 13. Metz, Christmas
present 1SD4, nged 14 years. Branch
vllle, Pa." Tho coroner sent a teln
trram to the "Chief of Police, Braneh
ville, Pa.." Riving tidings of the affair
nnd asking that the young man's rela
tives bo notified. The telegraph com
pany reported that It could not deliver
tho message, and as this was the only
means of getting word to the relatives
that presented Itself to the coroner, he
allowed the mntter to rest, relying on
the newspaper dispatches lo effect
what tho telegram had failed in.
Yestordny the coroner received a let
ter from J. CI. Gearhart, a business
man of Karllngtnn, conveying the In
formation that young Jletz'a relatives
had rescued his body from tho dissect
ing room of n Philadelphia medical
school. How thoy received the Infor
mation of tho young man's death or
how they traced tho body to tho medi
cal school was not explained. It Is
supposed, however, that they got their
information from the newspaper ac
counts of the nffnlr. The letter asks
for tho details of tho accident.
Motz'H vnllse contained n pair of
trousers and new underdrawers, black
ing brush nnd blacking, tobacco, soap,
sonio magazines nnd the Bible referred
tn above. Ilo had no money, but ho
carried a watch, Tho watch Is In tho
possession of the Dunmore police,
THE DRUMMER EVANGELIST.
He Has Been at Factoryville and

Deputy Controller Charles A. Hart
ley Is sending communications to tho
heads of the various city department.,
requesting them to furnish estimutcD
on or before Jan. 1 of tho expenses for
