Cornelius Gorman Killed at Oly

Cornelius Cot man, of Kent sliod,
Olyphant, fell ftom a hi Idfie which tho
Oelawnii' nnd Hudson compnuy Is
building over IMdy Creek, nt Kmoke
tnwn, near Olyphant, last night nnd
a Instantly killed.
Got man, who was employed by tho
i'ompriii had been sitting on the
hrldRf for pome time and hh seen
to nttempt to stand up about 10 o'clock.
Ills foot slipped as he was about to
m Ipc, and he fell before he could te
cover his balance. Death must have
been Instantaneous, as his necl was
found to be bioken a few minutes
nftcrwaids, when the body was picked
ux.
flnrnian was nbout 40 yeata old, un
man led nnd boarded with a family
named Qulnn, on Kent stieet, Oly

IS NOT YET LOCATED.
Mra. Albert White Has Not Divulged
Her Whereabouts What Hor
Father Has to Bay.
The whereabouts of Mis. 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.
Fell on a Hitching Post Yesterday
Afternoon Liveryman Nealis
Nearly Lost Another Animal.
A horse belonging to James .1. 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

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.

As fnr us has yet come to the notice
of the sttlke lendeis, only one man has

A PECULIAR POISONING.
Photographer Put Tumb with
Prussia Acid on in His Mouth.
A photographer named Wilson was
poisoned In a peculiar manner nt his
tin-type establishment near Nay Aug
park on Wednesday. Piusslc acid, one
of the deadliest of poisons, Is used In
developing tin types and Wilson, after
finishing liis woik for the morning for
got to wash his hands.
While making up his books, he put
his thumb In his mouth several times
nnd became denthly sick In a few
moments from tho acid remaining on
his hands. He was token to the Lacka

It was said last night that ho would
probably recover, though the doctor
admitted that his condition at one tlmo
hnd been very seilous.
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.

ting very close to second place and un
less Henry Sthwcnker makes larger

week the chances are that before many
days ho will lose the position he has
held ever slnco the contest opened,
except for a short time, when he was
fit st. Miss Grlflin's advance has been
quite lemaikable!. Iess than four
weeks ago she was tenth, nnd she has
now held third place since July 15,

William Miles, led her by two points.
Miss Meredith Is iteming sixth place
and hopes to succeed Ray Bucking
ham in th.it position In a few days.

be the same this year. A contestant

No plans have as yet been fotmally
Adopted, but the scheme most favored
Is to divide the room with a partition
through the middle, extending north
nnd south, make the westeily half the
main court loom, nnd divide the other
half Into two rooms of nbout equal
size, the northeily one to be couit
room No. 2 nnd the southerly one a
lawyets' consultation loom.
The relllng of the proposed new
court loom will be the height of the
bottom of the tiansvcise bennis of the
present room; the celling of thp other
new court mom will be a few feet
lower still. This will leave nn open
space nbove nil three rooms, nnd with
the nsslstonce of ornnmental grill
work lust below the ceilings of th"
two court rooms, window ventilation
will be had from both Bides In each
room.
Theie will be a gallery In the new
main couit mom, but none In the new
No. 2. Old No. 2 will be utilized as
nn orphans' court room. Curved
fnbrlo panels will be utilized in the
corners of the euw mnln court room
to aid In lnsuiing better nccoustlcs.

The one drawback
which they have always had has
been the lack of convertibility. If
the mortgagee desired to sell, he
must wait until the title has been
examined, and then possibly lose
his purchasers because of some de
tect or irregularity in the title, which
the purchaser's attorney may dis
cover. The mortgagee's policy of

small stuffed cushion or
foot stool for kneeling in
church or for home use."
The learned Cowper
once used the phrase:
"And knees and has
socks are well nigh di
vorced." Whatever may
have beeu the reason for
Cowper's remarks years
ago, the matter of Price
cannot stand in the way
today. We have never
given the equal of this
