Albert White, formeily of North Srtanton, nnd lately of Nicholson, who Is sup posed by some to have been mutdered, ate still unknown. Her father, Thomas Hauls, of Par ker stieet, North Sctanton, when seen last night by a Tribune man, said that he had icceived no word whatever fiom his daughter, but seemed con vinced that she was still alive. He said that she had been seen last Fil- day by Former Councilman Monis, of the Second ward, walking toward Sctanton In company with her hus band. Mr. Morris was driving nnd passed the couple at Clark's Summit He spoke to them nnd they replied that they were walking to Sctanton That they arrived here Is testified to by Mrs. Thomas Coney, of Kast Matket stieet, at whose bouse they stayed for a few hours on Filday afternoon, and who told the police ion Wednesday that she had heard Mis. White was wink ing tor a John Davis In West Suanton. "It seems stiange," said Mr. Hairls last night, "that my daughter has not sent us word If she Is still In tho city. If she knew how much we have w cu lled since this story of her being mur dcied has been set afloat she would icrtalnly let us know wheie she Is and set our feais at test. I do not believe that she has been muidered because of the story told by Mi. Mori is. 1 think that we will yet hear ftom her In a day or two," There ore some who say that Mrs. White and her patents did not get on well together and that If she Is In the city this fact may h.we mined her not to send them wind. The police con tinue to scotf at the murder story and maintain that It shouldn't be seriously consideied for a moment. HORSE WAS IMPALED.

Ncalls, the llveiyman, was killed yesterday afternoon on Phelps stieet, In a most peculiar mnuiiei. The animal was taken fiom the livery stable by J. B. O'Malley, the iiistuaiuc man. Mr. O'Mallev, after dilvlng the hoi so for some time, hitched It to a thtee-foot hltihlng post cm Phelps stieet, near Wyoinlnjr avenue, while he went to traus.ut some business in the nelsh boi hood. The hoise, after standing for a few minutes, took flight and leated up on its hind legs The animal slipped In some unknown manner and fell on lis side. In falling It struck the post, vhlih was foiced clean through its body. The hmse suffeicd teiilble agony for a few minutes, but soon died. It had to be bodily lifted off the post. Mr. Nealis came near losing another of his lint tea yesterday, though In a dilfeicnt manner. A man tepiesentlng himself as a man residing In this city named Gallaghei, hlted a horse from the lively stable, saying he wanted It only for a few bouts. Mr. Nealis became suspicious after he left, and upon making luuuiiies learned that he was an linpostei. He tiaced the outfit to Clark's Sum mit, where he last night found It at McGreevj's hotel. The Ml anger had evidently decided to abandon the out fit. Piano for Sale. A fine upright grand piano, of an old and tellable make, finished In tho finest mahogany wood, and in perfect condition.

NEWSIES HAD A FINE TIME ENJOYED THEMSELVES AT NAY AUG PARK. The Annual Flcnio Was, as Usual, a Hugo Success and Was Attended by About a Thousand Newsboys Who Marchod in a Body Through the Street Before Starting for the Park Tho Prizo-Winners in tho Numorous Races Myron Ritten house Injured. About ii thousand good-natured, lusty lunged and happy newsboys, ranging In age fiom six yen is up to seventeen nnd eighteen, had about as much fun nnd excitement at Nay Aug patk yesterday an any mottal being could possibly ciovvd Into one day of his life. It wns tho newsboys' picnic, nn event nrtanged for and managed eveiy year by a few citizens, who love the boys nnd who dike a teal delight In giving thein a good time ofice a year nnd see ing them enjoy themselves to their hen it's content. A parade, which had been arranged by Dr. O. V.. Hill, wns given In the morning, befoic the boys left for the patk. It was more elabotate than the paiades which have been given In the past, and was headed by the big tally ho coach filled with the llttlo gills who help to telleve the wont at home by selling papers. Following the tally-ho came St. Petct's Diuin cotps and n half-dozen automobiles, each with n newsboy or two nboatct, and it might be well to mention that these particu lar boys who did ride on the horseless carriages were about the proudest mor tals on earth. Following the automobiles came the newsbojs of the various city and out-of-town papeis, cntrylng banneis nnd bursting Into cheeis upon the slightest ptovocntlon. A feature of the parade was J. ft. Schlaget trick goat, "Kagereno," which was stnrounded hy n bodyguatd of boys. The parade passed through the ptlnclpnl stieets of the central city and then marched to the park. FUN AT THK PA UK. Here the tun began. Tho boys took possession of the picnic gtounds and everything that affoided amusement of any kind was quickly called Into use. The memheis of the committee, Includ ing A. P. Bedford, Dr. G. H. Hill. Hugh Keenan and ex-Recorder Molr, e,eemed to have partaken of the elllr of youth and appealed to be hojs again. They Joined in this spoil and In that, nnd had about as good a time as the wild est in chin In the crowd. The i aces weie begun shortly after the paik was reached and continued until about '1 o'clock, with an intermis sion for lunch. Kach boy had been furnished with three coupons, which entitled him to a lunch, a dish of ice etcam and a lido on the meiry-go-roiind. The lunches were put up In bags and weie doled out by a commit tee of adults hastily pressed Into ser vice. Kach boy got two sandwiches, n banana and several pieces of cake, In addition to the Ice cteam. Theie weie more than one who had several tickets nnd one boy In paitlcular, who was wntched by u member of the commit tee, Is known to have live dishes of ice ci cam. He came up for n sixth seiving as bright nnd tiesh ns tver, but, in the Intel est of libs health, It was lefused him. The laics wei t tin on the track near the meri-go-iound and were of nil kinds. Theie weie so many contest ants who desltod to tty their speed In tho font-races that no less than live weie run. An accident, wlilih Mat. the only dis tressing featuie ot the da, occuned duilng the final heat of the pony race. The 111 st heat was won by Myion Rlt tenhouse and the second heat by Joe Phillips. Near the linlsh of the thlid heat, Ilittenhouse's pony shied at some thing in the road nnd he was tin own fiom its back to the ground. He sus tained a sprained back and was te moved to his home on Noith Main avenue. His condition Is not serious. WINNKKS OF THK PRIZES. The pilze-vvlnneis in the pcveinl taces weie as follows: 1.

MURDERER NOT FOUND, Kostentinowish, Who Killed Joe Benottis on Wednesday Night, Is Still at Large. Captain of Police John Dal and Pattolmen Flnlay Ross spent nearly all yestetday morning In senichlng for Walter Knstentlnowlsh, who mutdered Joe Bencttls, In Notth Scranton, on Wednesday night, but their efforts wete In vain. They drove up the valley as far ns Archbald, and Inqulicd at nil the Polish and Hungarian colonies, but could not get the slightest tiace of their nun. They have strong hopes, however, of set utlng some clue to his whereabouts, on account of his stiongly marked physical characteristics. Kastentlno wlsh Is n Russian Pole and Is 6 feet 1 Inch high. He Is 39 yeaift old nnd weighs about 190 pounds. His head nnd nose me laiger than the otdlnnry, and his hair and moustache nro light. The ills of his eyes Is constantly bloodshot Accotdlng to the stoiy told by Annie Canlsh, thn oung glil who witnessed the whole uff.tlt, Bencttls and several companions came to the boaidlng house after Kastentlnowlsh had gone to bed and aroused him. The party sent out tor a large quantity of beer and, after consuming It, became quarrelsome. Bcnettls enraged Knsttentlnovvish by accusing him. of stealing horses In the old eountiy, and a tight ensued. Kas tentlnowle.h had the best of It all through, and unnieiclfully beat Benct tls about the head and body. When the latter was too weak to tesist any longer, the laiger man diagged htm out on the poich and threw him off. The Canlsh girl feels confident that Kastentlnowlsh did not realize that he had killed Bcnettls when he ran away, and says, that he ndmlnlsteied a few parting kicks to the body, lemntklng that he (Bcnettls) was not booked for the waim plaie Just yet. Coi oner Roberts peifoimed an au topsy on the body In Cuslck's iindcr tnklng establishment yestetday after noon and found that death had lesulted from a broken neck. There weie a number of biulses and bumps on Bcn ettls' head nnd body, which showed how seveip the beating Kastentlnowlsh gave him must have been. An InqueHt will be held nt some date to be tlxcd later. TO ELECT STATE DELEGATES. Second District Democrats Will Conveno on Saturday.
