Huffcut Irish International Exposition Resigns $100,000 Job Bean Combine An nounced Otto Kelsey Reconfirmed. New Santo Domingo Treaty. The body of Horace Marvin, Jr., which was found on Saturday lying in a pool of water on the marshes less than half a mile from where he was Inst seen playing on March 4, was bur led Sunday in "Bay Meadow Lawn," on the Marvin farm. All the child's playmates and fully a thousand neighbors attended the funeral services. Prior to the funeral 21 men, compos ing Coroner Calloway's jury, officially Identified the body and authorized an autopsy. The Jury was then dis charged to reconvene at the call of the coroner. There Is much to make it appear that the boy wandered away and fell exhausted into the pool where his body was found. Drs. James Wilson, Wilbur B. Bur ton, .William F. Hoey and Alfred Uob yon, the latter a bacteriologist, are trying to determine the cause or deatn for the coroner, and have decided that the boy did not drown. The stomach, which was removed by Dr. Ilobyon, was empty and the child may either have been frozen or starved to death. Many of the jurymen and detectives are of the opinion that he wandered around his father's farm aud In his ef forts to get back home over the frozen marshes became exhausted, fell into the pool and died of exhaustion and privation. A few still believe that the little fellow was murdered. The detectives are perplexed at the discovery of the body so near to the Marvin home and at a spot which they had walliel over again and again. To have reached the place where the body was found the boy must have walked across frozen and snow covered fields In the face of u driving wind and then climbed two high embankments be sides crawling through a barbed wire fence. Suicide of Ernest W. Huffcut. The tragic death on Saturday of Ernest W. Huffcut, counsel to Gover nor Hughes the second suicide and the seventh death within the immedi ate connection of the legislature since the beginning of the present session ha3 cast a marked gloom over the HORAC 1R1 DEAD Goods, Millinery, Cloaks and Suits.

Capitol, where "the dean," as he was affectionately called, was widely known and beloved; but the Indica tions are that it will not interfere ma terially with the legislative program as was feared Saturday. t Dean Huffcut was more minutely familiar than any other person with the details of the public utilities bill and it was at first thought that it might be some days before the mat ter could be fully adjusted again. But Oovernor Hughes himself and Senator Page and Assemblyman Merrltt have studied the bill so closely that the loss of Dean Huffcut at this time Is not a fatal matter bo far as this single Item Is concerned. The amended bill Is expected to be reported in the as sembly early this week. Just how much trouble the bill will have In the assembly owing to the more or less avowed opposition of Speaker Wadsworth to some of Its ma jor features cannot be definitely pre dicted. The friends of the measure are, however, reasonably confident of its passage In the assembly and anti cipate the more difficult time in the senate, where the line-up of last Thursday night in the Kelsey case makes it a matter of speculation just how many senators will "support the governor" in the matter of the public utilities bill. Funeral at Binghamton. The body of Dean Ernest W. Huff cut was brought to the home of his parents iu Binghamton on Sunday morning, accompanied from New York city by his sister, Miss Lillian Huff cut, and her close friend, Miss H. K. Smith. The funeral was held from the parents' home at 1 o'clock this afternoon and will be strictly pri vate to conform to the wish expressed by Dean Huffcut In the last letter that he wrote. Irish International Exhibition. The Irish International exhibition, which opened at Dublin on Satur day, is an event of far-reaching Inter est to Ireland, as It is designed to re vive the drooplug Interests of the coun try, and at the same time present a picture of Irish development and pro gress. Men of all classes, creeds and po'iliicB, headed by the Marquis of Ormond, have worked Indetatlgably, a guarantee fund of nearly $1,000,000 has been raised, and un exposition eclips ing any previously attempted In Ire land Is now open. Elaborate arrangements are being made by the English railway ahd Brteamslilp companies to transport great numbers of visitors to the capi ta! and their officials say they are pre pared to carry between 40,000 and 50, 000 passengers daily during July and August. The opposition manifested by the Nationalists has somewhat abated, and the Bhow promises to be a suc cessful one. Comparatively few for eign natfcns have become interested In the enterprise, foremost among those will be of great in high order ot work make up a complete these skirts are act- ; lot on bale tor perfect skirt making.

He is to be succeeded by Theodore N. Vail, a member of the directorate and former ly general manager of the American Bell Telephone company. Mr. Fish will continue as a legal adviser. President Fish has enjoyed the dis tinction of being the highest-salaried man in Boston, receiving as president of the telephone company $100,000 a year. This he will give up when he retires. He has held the presidency since 1901, and Is credited with being the man behind the huge development of the company In recent years. Municipal Ownership Barred. Five Justices of the state supreme court at Lansing. Michigan, consti tuting a majority, decided that the city of Detroit, cannot build street rail way tracks to be leased to an operat ing corporation. The council of that city in 11105 ordered the department of public works to lay tracks on sev eral streets and appropriated $10,000 to begin work. A question as to the legality of this action was raised and an injunction was sought to restrain the city. The Wayne circuit court granted (lie writ sustaining the asser tion that the city had not the right to do the work and the case was curried to the supreme court. Government Outbid For Expert. The draft on the "economic force" of the geological survey made by min ing organizations which offer the gov ernment experts much greater salaries than they get from the government Is seriously impairing the efficiency of that branch of the service, says a sur vey report on the Investigation of metalliferous ores In 1900. The report adds: "It Is only by years of practical experience In the field that the geologist, however excel lent his preliminary training, becomes competent to carry on Independent work in investigating a mining dis trict, and the loss of trained men in this work Is, for a time, Irreparable." Jail For Rich Auto Scorcher. At Yonkers, N. Y., William E. Dodge of New York city, son of the phil anthropist William Earl Dodge and son-in-law of Henry T. Sloane, the mil lionaire carpet manufacturer, was sentenced to serve a 10 days' term in prison, in addition to paying a line of $100 for automobile speeding. .The sentence was imposed by City Judge Beall. Dodge had been arrested twice before for the same offense. On the first occasion he was fined $J5, and tho next time $30. He gave notice of ap peal from yesterdny's sentence and was released on $1,000 ball. Some Extraordinary Suit Values. At $15.00, $16.50 and $18.00. Since April 10th we've received some 30 Suits from a prominent New York Suit maker and not one of them but what's at least a $5.00 bill under regular price. Every Cloak and Suit manufacturer, because of the backward spring, experienced a season of extreme dullness between the middle of March and April 1st, due to the unfavorable weather conditions and the re-orders they would naturally expect from the retail merchant. This Suit maker in order to keep his tailors employed put in work some two hundred Suits which he proposed disposing of at a greatly reduced price to his customers. Thirty-five ot these were sent us and we found them such exceptional values that we kept thirty of them and they are the Suits referred to. Suit buyers coming to Oil City in the next week or ten days should visit our Cloak and Suit Department, where they will find the Suits to verify the statement made about them. Materials from which these Suits have been made have been selected very carefully, both as regard to quality and correct style of the fabrics used. SEVERED Mexico and Guatemala Are on the Verge of War. American Charge In Guatemalan Cap ital Has Been Instructed to Look After Mexican Interests Formality or Issuing Passports For Withdrawal of Ministers Will Require Time. Washlngion. May 7. Although tele graphic advices have not reached Washington that diplomatic relations between Ouatemala and Mexico have been- severed, officials here do not doubt that Mexico has taken action uhleh will result In giving the Guate malan minister In Mexico passports for his withdrawal. The .Mexican minister In Guatemala is now preparing to return home and the American charge, Philip Brown, secretary to the legation, has been In structed to look after Mexican Inter ests In the Guatemalan capital upon tho departure of the Mexican minis ter. Ambassador Creel of Mexico has beeu Iu hourly anticipation of a mes sage from his government that the break had occurred. He was advised that Guatemala denied the request for tho surrender of General Jose Lima, who Is suspected of being Implicated In the murder Iu Mexico of ex-Presl-deut- Barillas of Guatemala, and that there was no alternative but for Mex ico to consider the refusal an Insult necessitating discontinuance of rela tions between the two countries. The slate department hail numerous messages from Minister Lee, who Is about to leave Guatemala for the 1'nltrl States on account of illness, and from Sorretiry Brown. These dispatches confirmed the ndvlces re ceived from diplomatic representatives of the two countries in Washington, that there was no possibility of Ouate mala and Mexico settling tho contro versy over tho demand for the extradi tion of General Lima. The formality of Issuing passports for the withdrawal of each minister will probably require a day or two. It Is not known here what diplomatist will attend to the Interests of Guate mala In Mexico, but It Is not Impossi ble that the Tnited States will per form this service. The severance of diplomatic rela tions does not mean war, but the fact that the countries adjoin causes great anxiety. There might be at any time Invasions from one or the other of the countries Into territory of tho enemy by irresponsible bauds aud . such trouble might epdly end In declara William B. James, Oil City, Pa. tions of hostilities. The state depart ment Intends to use Its good offices In an effort to adjust the difficulty. Dr. Toledo Herrarte, the Guatemal an minister, conferred with Assistant Secretary Bacon about the situation. He said he hoped there would be a set tlement soon. He declared that un der the treaty between Mexico and Guatemala neither country had the right to demand the surrender of a citizen of the other. The extradition treaty Is Intended to cover the sur render of a fugitive, but In the case of General Lima the extradition could be expected only as an act of courtesy. Dr. Herrarte received a cable mes sage last night from the Guatemalan minister of foreign nffairs, saying that the difficulty would be satisfactorily adjusted. Holds Up Train to Kill Man. Savannah, May 7. Henry Manigault held up n passenger train soon after It left the station here to kill James Lewis, who, Manigault Bays, robbed him of $50 In a card game. He had ac cused Lewis of cheating and the lat ter fled. Manigault learned Lewis had boarded the train, and as It was going slowly through the yards sent a bul let from his rifle through tho cab of the locomotive, compelling the engi neer to stop. Lewis leaped to the ground and attempted to run, but was shot down. Manigault rushed to the dying man, and holding off the train nn'ti with his rilie, took the money from the pockets of his victim and es caped. Fushiml Wants to See "Mikado." London, May 7. The universal rid icule with which the prohibition ot the vtresentntlon of "The Mikado" has been received here has caused a reconsid eration on the part of the lord chuni herlaln and It Is now announced that if certain modifications are made in the text the restriction will be re moved.
