funeral take placo on Sunday afternoon, at
two o'clock, from tlio family resldcuco on
West Cherry street, whoro tlio services will
bo bold. Interment will bo inado In tbo Odd
Follows' ccmetory.
Tlio murderer is still at lareo and tbo pollco
bavo not succeeded ill getting tbo slightest
truce, of him, although they bavo been work.
ng steadily on tbo caso since llialeckl mado
bis escape Tlio Philadelphia Times of to
day says llialeckl is thought to bo in that
city, whoro tbo police nro on tbo lookout for
him.
This morning Dr. W. N. Stein mado an
autopsy on tbo body of tbo victim. Ho found
the heart normal In sizo and in good condi
tion. Tbo llvor was sllgbtly enlarged, but
healthy nnd tlio lungs showed tbo clTccts of
Minors' asthma. Directing his attention to
the wound Dr. Stein found that tlio shot
entered tbo body on tlio right side, two
inches abovo tbo right ulpplo, five inches
frnm tlio center of tbo breast and
six inches from tbo top of the shoulder.
The shot took a downward course, shatter
ing tbo II f tli, sixth, sovcutb and eighth ribs,
and penetrating the middle lobo of the right
lung, making n cavity in tbo lung in which
the doctor could insert his three fingers.
Two of tbo shot and a picco of ono of tlio
ribs wcro taken from tbo lung.
Dr, Stein says tlio victim died from shock
and hemorrhage from tbo lung, either of
which was sutllcicnt tu cause death.
Deputy Coroner Mauley has not fixed a

THE FIGHT
IT PfilM.
Described by a Son of a Former Resi
dent of Shenandoah.
HE WAS PROMOTED FOR GALLANTRY
Joseph Beacliam, of Brooklyn, Telli How
the Volunteer Artlllerjmon Chased the
Bpanlards and Gained Fame and Vic
tory by Their Pluck In Battle.
Tho thrilling charge mado by tho Astor
Battery at Manila is graphically described in
a lcttor received by Miss Sallio Beacliain, of
this town, from her nephew, who enlisted in
that battery at tho outbicak of the war.
Ho is a son of Joseph W. Beacliam, of
Brooklyn, 11 former resident of this town
and who is well and favorably known by
many of our citizens. Young licacbaui is
now first fccrgcant of the battery, having
been promoted fur gallantry in action.
Beacliam Is an athlete of natioiuil reputa
tion. In 1891, lie rowed on the Cornell fresh
man crew, whllo in tbo latter part of his
collego career ho took up base ball. In his
last year at Cornell, Beacliam received tho
highest athletic honors which wcro iu tlio
students' power to ofl'er, tbo foot ball and base
ball captaincies. Ho was eminently success
ful in both, but especially so with the eleven.
The letter bo wrote homo from Manila is as
follows :
Manila P. O., August SI, 1B!M.
My Dear Auut : Every minuto that I livo
I think is ovcitimo. Wo bavo been iu a
light, wcro under firo for eight hours and
most of Us escaped unhurt. I liavo bcon in u
battle, and I know what it is. When the
battle stalled wo wero notified to put our
guns in p. jitiun. Wo had to make tbo in-
trcncliments under lire, but no 0110 got It.
Xo. 1 gun was tho first in position, and they
bad a lino place. My gun was the next and
last gun of tho Astor Battery to get into
position. Wo wcro placed in a very dan
gerous place; wo wero put iu front of No. l's
intronchmeuts, with practically no protec
tion. No. 1 fired right over us, and every
tlmo they shot their gun wo had to crouch
down. I measured afterward tho height of
their shot, and It passed over us just crouch
height. Tho lollows on my gun woro not
afraid; it didn't seem real to them. I could
not realize wo wero in a battlo.
Tbo Spaniards soon discovoicd us, and thoy
mado it pretty warm I can toll. One shot
took two spokes out of my gun, and tho fly
ing wood wounded Baker and Snymour of
my detachment. Another shot passed just
ovor our heads and killed an Astor Batterv
man in another detachment. A third shot
came and buried us all in sand. This was
the last, our gun bad done its work. Wo
wcro firing ou a Spanish block houso. Wo
had knockod It all to , and after that
third shot buried us iu tho sand tbo block
house burst Iu llamo and tho Insurgents, for
whom wo wero making a placo, piled over
uio lnireuciimeut and the Spaniards lied
bolter skelter down tho road. I was the first
chief of detachment to get a gun ready for a
chase, and wo rushed down tbo road after tbo
Spaniards. When wo reached the block
houso it was all in ruins. We threw our gun
by main strongth over tbo moat and up ovor
a barricado about six feet high, uud down the
road wo flow, yelling and thrilled to the
backbone. Tho risks wo took before this
tinio were as nothing. Way down this road
tbo Spaniards had a beautiful barricade; it
was eight feet high and about twelve fcot
thick, entirely safe from tlio firo of our
bullets. It extended across tbo road and for
some distauco on cither side. On the lolt
was another block houso, with fivo guns
mounted on It. That any of us escaped alive
is miraculous. Mind you, I am speaking of
ouiy 1110 ngur, wing ot our army, under Gen
eral MCAnnur. iKcpt tnogun as near our
gallant captain as I possibly could.
Well, wo came running down tbo road yell
ing. Wo camo up to big stono church which
was protecting our infantry that hud bcon re
pulsed, aud they woro seeking sholtcr behind
the cliurch ami other buildings. Tho road
was entirely clear. Wo were within 200
300 yards of the barricado. Tho Spanish
bullets woro raining llko ball stones. Mino
was tho first gun up there. Wo ouicklv
turned our gun around and sent a shot smash
ing up that road, and, oh I how tbo infantry
did cheer. Wo sent three or four shuts up
tho road, aud thon General McArthur called
for a nervy officer to lead a charco. Our
captain jumped to the frout and the fellows
alter mm. 1 got tnrco or tour men ou our
gun and put up after them. Wo advanced
within 150 yards ot tlio barricado. Bullets
came from all directions. Tho Spaniards
wero hiding In the houses and wo wero shot
at from in front and from tho side. Tbo
follow right alongsido of my loft was shot In
the right side of tho leg. The bullet just
grazed mo. With him out, 0110 othor fellow
and I woro all that wero left on tho gnu. Wo
deserted tho gun and ran toward the barrl
cado with pistols drawn. I did not shoot bo
cuuso there wero so many fellows ahead of
mo that I was afraid of killing our own men
I retreated to tho gun and tried to work it
1 looked up and saw one of our men tho
right through tho forehead and dron stono
dead only a fow feet from me.
we woro tneu ordered under cover, and we
ran to tho side of tho road and lay flat on
our hollies. Then tbo infantry behind u
began to firo and we wero between tho
Spanish and American firo. Beforo the
firing was over wo resumed our gun, and
when firing ceased we rushed down tho road
aud into tlio city. Tho Spaniards had all
fled and wo were in possession. Hero is
llttlo picco of Spanish colore that ono of th
boys ripped ou tho way. Tho Astor Battery
had tbroo men killed and soven wounded
I didn't liavo a scratch. When we reached
barracks I volunteered to do anything
Lfoutenant Kohlcr, Burclich and I wont
back along the road to camp to look up our
dcau anu wounuoa. nothing eventlul hap
ponou.
Tho next day the captain called me into
his olllce and asked mo if I would llko to go
Into tho Army, and said he was going to roc
omniond mo for 11 commission. Ho promoted
mo to first sorgcaut and I am now first ser
geant. I don't have a detachment any more,
but I am ahead of all tbo sergeants. I tako
charge of all the details of tho battery, run
the camp, attend to the cook houso ami keep
tho battery in shape. I have a clerk to holp
mo out with all the battery papers. I have
one or loose nig tents 10 myseit,
Thoro wore five promotions mado iu the
battery as tbo order statos, "for gallantry in
action." I got the best, and four out of tho
five woro mado from tho detachment I com
manded. I am very busy now and don't get
much time to write, hut theie Is a whole lot
to tell about. Good by,

KIRLIN LOST.
Ills Itaco Willi Mlclmol Salmon Was h
1'retty One.
Ono of tho prottlost foot races seen in this
part of tho coal region for many years was
run at Mahanoy City park yesterday after
noon between C. C. II. Klrlin, of town, and
Michaol Salmon, of tbo former place. The
race had been a topic for a month past and
tho outcomo was awaited with much interest.
Tho backers of tho respective men woro con
fident of victory up to tho moment the
winning lino was crossed, but tho Salmon
pooplo had tbo most money and thoy offered
odds as high as 10 to 1 before the men got off.
Tho betting was not brisk, but considerable
nion.y changed bauds.
Tho raco was a SO yard dash for 100 a Bide.
James Smith, of town, was tho roforco anil
Mr. Turnor, of Philadelphia, tbo pistol fircr.
Tho racers and their trainers woro 011 tlio
grounds at 3:30 o'clock nnd each took a trial
spin. Promptly at 4:15 o'clock tho men toed
tlio scratch and soon after Turner started
them. Thoy got ofr well, Klrlin being
slightly in tbo lead. Salmon caught up with
him, but Klrlin was again slightly abend at
tbo thirty-yard lino. At forty yards, how
ovor, tho men woro oven and by a sudden
spurt Salmon jumped ahead and crossed tho
tape lino two feet ahoad.
Kirlin's backers woro disappointed in tlio
raco, but not iu their runner. Thoy claim
tho result was duo to Salmon's suporior con
dition. Ho bus been training and racing all
summer, while Klrlin was ouly trained for
about three weeks. It is not likely that the
men will come together again, at least not
tills season. About two hundred peoplo wit
nessed tho raco. The gato receipts amounted
to $52.

Upper Gangway For the
Purpose of Drown

Tamnqua, I'a., Oct. 11. Five men
were killed and 11 Injured by an explo

liery No. 8, nt Cnaldale, near here. The
dead are Fire I loss Thomas Smith,
William It. Ueesf and Mnttls Olarkey
of Coaldnle, and William Cook and
John Konlrka of Lansford. Konloka

driving holes from the gangway,
through which water wus to be forced
upon tho ilames. While the gang of
men was building 11 dam to back up
tho water yesterduy, the gangway
caught fire. Nearly 100.000 gallons of
water wero turned Into the holes, and
Dlmost instantly a terrlflV explosion oc
curred, followed In quick succession by
four lighter explosions, of such force
that the gangway was torn up for over
200 feet nnd the woikmen were blown

A Sacred ltlril.
Feathers from tho tail of the Argus pheas
ant are the most prominent in trimming of
hats. Golden brown feathers with their im
numcrablo eyes are wonderfully becoming,
and aro bound to meet with favor among the
most fashionablo women universally. The
popularity of tho Argus feather in trimming
revives the ancient Greek legend of tho
giant Argus from which the feathers derived
their uamo. This giaut, it 13 said, possessed
ono hundred eyos, of which only two slopt at
ono time. This was continued in pairs
succession. It was tho duty of this giant to
keep guard over a beautiful woman who was
transformed into a heifer by Juuo as a motive
for revenge for favors displayed toward
Jupiter. Finally this many-eyed giant was
slain liy Mercury after which Juuo ordered
tho eyes to be set in the tail of the Argus
pheasant and to this very day this bird is re
garded as beiug tho self-appointed guardian
of unhappy wives. This superstition mado
it a sacred bird among the Greeks aud the
feathers from the tail are still believed to
bring happiness und prosperity to all who
wear them. A fino collection of this feather
and also a mounted pheasant wero shown a
Herald representative at tho Bon Ton
millinery parlors, together with a large
assortment of other birds and fancy feathers
at remarkably low prices. A credit bestowed
upon tho B011 Ton millinery, is that they do
not carry two bats of a similar design, and
furthermore thoy are trimmed by clever
milliners. Mrs. Fcldser will make and trim
the customer any hat she may desire in 35
minutes. Tho largest assortment of sailors
and walking hats ever shown in Shenandoah
can bo found at the Bon Ton Millinory, 29
