and good natuied smiles. It was 01 Ig
inally intended to conduct the oont

flu,c of unionists was too gieat and
the assemblage adjourned to moio spa

teiday afternoon when they henid i
fieo luneii was to bo 0113 of the dnj's

I-ed bv I'lesident James DuhV. the

made up the audience, but thev cer
tainly seemed impregnated with the
spit it ol unionism from their damp
ened locks and faces gleaming with .1
soapv radiant 2 to the tips of the boots,
which cast a glimmei that showed
thorn masteis of their ciafl.
"Mother Jones gave a heinly,
cheerful addtess to the boys, In which
she spoke ot the necessity of oigan

BODY FOUND IN WOODS.
Nothing in the Clothing That Would
Indicnte Who the Man Is Man
ner of Death Unknown.
The decomposed body of a nun ap
paicntly 45 yeais ot age, was found
jesterday morning on tho MooMe
mountain, ntmut two and one-half
miles fiom Moosic in what is known
aa Covey's Swamp. The discoxery was
made by a man named Lubendei, who
was taking a walk in that vicinity.
The find was icported to Coroner
Booeits, wno directed XJiulei taker
James Walsh to lemove tho body to
hU plnci of busine-s, wheie tho cor
oner will hold an autopsy today, and
if possible 11111 a vol the mysteiy. Tho
identity of the man Is almost Impossi
ble, although It mny bo tlctei mined
who he Is by the .11 tides found on
tin- body.
These consist 01 11 watch, pipe and
snutf bov, the latter being formed fiom
a dried lemon. The clothing and shoos
icsemblo those of a miner, but as far
as could bo learned yesteiday no 0110
Is missing from Moosic. Tho llesh on
tho head and face has been eaten
away, but a heavy black beaid is ills
cernable through the remaining fea
tuies. The body had evidently been at the
place wheie It was found lor some
time, as a young son of .Mr. Lubowlei'
noticed a man sitting at the same
placo a week ago Inst Satuiday, and
thought the fellow was sleeping und
wan afiaid to disturb him.
The remains weio viewed by many
people yesterday, but up to a late hour
last' night no one had been able to
Identify them. Tlteio i.s no evidence of
foul play, and the supposition is that
the man died fiom oposuie.

JUNK DEALERS'
HEAVY LOSSES
BELIEVE THE FIRE WAS OF IN
CENDIARY ORIGIN.
Glass and Smith Did Not Cany Any
Insuranco and They Place Their
Joint Loss at Over Eleven 'Thous
and Dollars Tho Joidan Estate
Suffered a Loss of $2,500 on the
Building Adjoining the Junk
Quarters Fhe Dlscoveied Enily
Yesterday Morning.
liKeiidl.11 Ism Is thought to have
caused tho desttuctlvo (Ire which Inoke
out e.uly yesteiday morning at IVnn
avenue rind Vine stieet und desliovcd
the Junk shop of Alexander Grass and
David Smith, and of Jacob Smith, ntid
which also gutted the can Inge rcposl.
tiny of the Mat wood Joidan estate.
The damages woic as follows:
Mi'Mlliiler Uiiii. building md iok . ,.ii,IiX1
lamb Smith, .slock -'.OW
1) mil I Utitiiiniii, building in wlihli '-iiillh
win loci tul j00
Joidan enlato '2,!M
Glass carried not n cent of Insuinnee
on either building or stock, nor did
Smith. Btennmnn's loss was entlie,
but the Joidan building can led $1,800
hisuiance. The blaze oiiglnated In a
heap of lubblsh neai Smith's place and
this was the fiist to catch the flic.
Owing to the Inflammable natuip of
tlie contents of any junk shop, most
Insuianco companies lefiise to take
them n ilsks, and this at counts for
the fact that neither Glass nor Smith
had tlioli leases at nil covcrpd.
SAVS A FIBF.BUG DID IT.
Gmss lift night positively stated his
belief that an Ineendiaiy had kindled
the blaze, and numeious of the lit emeu
who w 01 Iced ftom 2 o'clock until S on
the llto entertain the same opinion, al-x
though the o'llnlon is also ventured
that a dgaiette butt caielessly tin own
into the yaid might hae ignited some
HibbMi.
The Municipal 1 'onti.it ting and litt
pnneinent companv's ltoises and
wagons weic lodged in the .Ionian
building, but weie all .saved fiom the
Hume- A watchman for Hip Dickson
Manulactiiiing company dlscoveied the
blnzo shortly befoie 2 o'clock. A pile
of nibblsh was then binning fleicelv
and just as he dlseoPied it. a hungiy
tongue of flame shot out and In an In
stant the coiner ot Smith's shop was
w lapped In a blaze.
The watchman sounded .111 .'il.iiin
ftom Bok 16. at Pcnn avenue and Vine
-licet, and tills alaim was answeted
by the CtystaK Nnv Augs, Phoenix
Chemical nnd Hook- and Ladder com
panies. When the (he laddies ajihed
both Smith's place anil Glass' estab
lishment, al 41S-440 Pcnn .nenue, weic
on (lie.
Glass' shop w.i- a two--toiy wooden
building. 23xri0 feet, mid Smith'-, place
one-stoiy high and 2".x2"i. Jot dan's
building was also aflame. The two
junk bliopt weic doomed fiom the (lif.t,
the mases of rags, bones and lubblsh
binning like the pioxeibial tinder. The
fliemen bent theit effoits on conti oiling
the (lie al the Joidan building, a laigp
tlnee-stoiy frame strucluip. Had the
blaze spiead fiom theie, a iov of
wooden buildings in the neatbv com I
w ould have been doomed.
Tt was found uecessaiy to send In a
second alarm, and this was answered
by the Genei.il Phihnoy Engine com
pany, of Green Ittdge, and the C'eti
tuivs, of South Sci anion.
THE DAMAGE DONE
It was S o'clock befoie l he (lames
smouldered down and by this time the
Smith and Giass shop-, woie cadi a
mass of cindets, while the complete in
terior of the Joidan building was
gutted. The btiek oftlce of Glass was
