"UNKNOWN MAN KILLED Because of Misapprehension or Ig norance of Law and Facta the Body is not Removed A man, whose name may be Tamer, of Pond E My, was struck by an Erie engine opposite HawkV Nest Wednesday I ight and killed and his body mangled almost beyond recognition. He is assumed to be the same person who was earlier ejected from a train because of in toxication, and that he wandered along and on the railroad. Difficulty in securing the servioos of the cor oner of this county prolonged re moval of the body and it was put in a box and loft beside the tracks. (The fact is there is no duly qual ified coroner ia the county. Dr. Kelly of Matamoras, who was cor oner, removed from the county be fore the expiration of his term and did not resign until after the election of his successor. The democrats assuming a vacancy eleoted in No vember Dr. John Kelly of this borough. The Department at Har. risburg has not issued a commission to him, probably because at the time of his election there was no legal vacancy. The act of 1841 says : In all oases where by law the coroner of any county is required to hold an inquest over a dead body, it hall be lawful for a justice of the peaoe of the proper oonnty to hold the same where there is no lawfully appointed coroner, or he is absent from the oounty, nnable to attend, or his office is held more than ten miles dmtant from the place where the death occurred or the body found. Even if the coroner elect, Dr. John Kelly, of Milford, was the lawful coroner, his office would probably be more than ten miles from the place where this body was found, hence a justice of the peace would have jurisdiction, and, since there is no lawful coroner in the couuty it clearly would be lawful for a justice to act. If there is "an arbitrary law in this state prohibiting the removal of a dead body until ordered by the coroner" we have never read it in our statute books. Ed. Prkss.) Mr. Foster to the "Press" Mr. Julio M. Foster of Santiago, Chile, who was a visitor here a few years ago, and largely interested in "Nitrate," and who oonsldera him self a native of this pluoe, where he is well known, writes under date f Deo. 6, 1903 tne following very .pleasant letter whioh will be read with interest by his many friends here, who will fervently hope that be may not be disappointed in his anticipated visit to this country and town lie it summer : "My Dear Mk.

To Make More Fish Laws The protection and propagation of fish in the Dolaware River will be taken up conjointly by the Fish Commissioners of Pennsylvania and Now Jersey, under an agreement made in Trenton Tuesday by Fish Commissioner Meehan, of Pemisyl vanla, and tho New Jersey Fish and Game Committee ' The Legislature of New Jersey will bo risked for an appropriation of f 750 for the propagation of sturgeon a similar appropriation having been made by Pennsylvania lust year for that purpose. The work of sturgeon hatching will be conducted at tin new Torrosdale hatchery by Living ston Stone, an expert from the United State Bureau of Fisheries. Both States will conduct the shad and other river fish work, Pennsyl vania to provide the hatcheries and do the incubating and New Jersey to furnish the eggs. Lawn similar in their provisions for tho protection of the fish and fishermen of the Delaware River will be enacted by both states. It i proposed to put a license fee on nets to pay for stocking the river with valuable food fishes, the same as is paid by the Lake Erie fishermen. The highest legal authorities will be asked for opinions as to whether, under such a law, wardens of one sthte can arrest violators in the other state, and whether they pan bo commissioned to make arrests in both states. The Washington Post does not undurwluud why District Attorney Jerome Is going to take a hunting trip in Mississippi when there is s big tiger running around loose in New York.

The Sussex Register says "the official record of game killed at Tranquillity farms daring the sea son just ended is 2.0J2 English pheasants, 9S rabbits and onequail."

Congressman Driggs of New York has been convicted of improperly using bis influence while a member of the house to secure a contract for postal supplies for a concern ir which he was interested. He was sentenced to one day imprisonment and a fine of $10,000, which he immediately paid. District Attorney Lichtenwalner made such an unholy show of him sol', because of "temporary indis popition," in the trial of one of the ' alleged accessories to the murder of Mabel Bechtel, before JudgoTrexler at Allentown a day this week, that the court ordered an adjournment.

Leader, John Fletcher. At the last Quarterly Conference, held January 5th, the pastor re ceived a unanimous call to return another year. The pastor reported 1230 raised on the recently published "Calendar above all expense. With this amount the roof vill be put on, the indebtedness of the parsonage obliterated, a cloth black board pur chased for the Sunday school room, and racks for books placed in the churoh proer. Wo shall enter the new Cot ference year entirely free from debt. Mr. Bournique was approved as superintendent of the Sunday school, Win. Angle as assist ant. Brother John Fletcher's ex horter's liceuse was renewod, and similiar licenses were granted to Brothers Angle, Myer and Frank Fletcher. ' By vote of last Sunday morning's congregation Brother Angle was elected represents tivo to the Lay Electoral Conference at Newark at the time of the Annual Conference j Brother Bournique as reservo dole gate. The purpose of this Electoral Conference ia to elect five men from our Conference to' represent the Layman of this Conference at the next session of the General Confer, enoe to be held at Los Angeles, Cal.. in May. On aocqunt of the General- Conference coming this year our own Conference coming this year our own Conference will be held two weeks earlier than usual j it will open March 23rd. It is therefore very important that all subscriptions due the Stewards or on Benevolences and such amounts as are still out standing on parsonage improve ments be handed in at a very early date so that the pastor may present on behalf of tho Charge a clear record at Conference. The week of prayer has been ob served with evidont profit to all in atteudance. The continuation of the Uuion services with Rev. Smith of Port Jervis as the main speaker has been most helpful .and the attend ance excellent, so that, upon consult ation, it has seemed good to prolong the series of meetings somewhat with a view to securing ever greater results. Dus announcement will be made on the Sabbith., We think of having this Sunday'! services in the main auditorium un less the weather is too severe. It seems queer that so uiaoy of Milford's intelligent people should credit the fabrications which have recently been going the rounds. It would bo butter to make uure of the truth of what yon bear before you pass it on. The Ladies Aid recently spent a pleasant afternoon at the parsonage. A social under the auspices of the Aid will be held at the same place ou tho evening of thn 28th, and It Is further pianne.d that the Epworth League and the Ladies' Aid shall alternate each mouth in having a little social at the different homes. Thus we shall work together for the ad vauoementof tuxiial fellowship in our church. Ion'l K'orry This Is easier iaid than done, yet it may ba of soma help to consider the matter.

The theme will be "Divine Owner, ship," All are cordially invited to worship with ns. Dr. J. T. Rothrock, Secretary of the Ponn'a Forestry Association, says : "We are going to prosecute con. stables who fail to turn out to fight forest fires. We have told consta bles that whenever they sue the county commissioners for their services for fighting the fires, if the lower courts give judgment against them, we will pay the cost of carry, ing it to the Superior court. The commissioners have been telling constables they could not be paid, but there is a penalty for the com missioners too, that may be en force1." Governor Herrick of Ohio declares that Ohio Is for Roosevelt and that the "organized opposition" consists of talk. He ssiys that Roosevelt Is the natural candidate of the party, and as a candidate 'he will win. It is natural that the republican party should continue in power, because, assertions to the contrary notwith standing, It stands today as it always has, as the friend and fosterer of national business Interests, as well as those of Ihe laborer, the wage earner and tho farmer. It is understood by those persons who have been eye witnesses why It Is that Senator Gorman has that ghost-like appearance, as though he were fleeting through space. Since the delivery of the president's mes sage on the Panama canal situation, Mr. Gorman has had no leg left to stand upon. The department of commerce, or ganized under this administration, Is giving the country, through the newspapers, more systematic infor mation, of value to the people, many times over, than has ever before been attempted.
