One of Samonovitch's compatriots furnished his ball, to the amount of $500 for his appearance at court. At the hearing it was dev el .p <| that the two sets of miners were working toward each other in •« cross-cut, and that only a thin wall 'of coal separated them at the time the fatal blast, was exploded. Samonovitch had set off one shot, sending Smith around to warn the two men on the other side. The first shot did not entirely break down the wall between the parties, and Samonovitch put in a second charge to complete the work. Smith started around to warn the miners on th* other side of the shot, but before he had gone a third of the way. his companion set off tht explosive, which tore through the thin barrier, killing one of the men on the other side.

H»- is said to have been in comfortable •circumstances when he left Rossiter for Now York and it is believed that his financial circumstances were even better at the time of his death. "•Mr. Bunn was called upon Tor information as to the identity of Mr. It road meadow last evening, but refused to give any information or to discuss the case." "A well dressed man went to her hou.se yesterday afternoon and handed her a note signed 'Mrs. W. ,1. Broadnv adow.' The note read: 'Please give my husbfand's effects t<> the bearer, as he will not be back.' "When he wan at the 'Morgue Mr. Bunn .-aid that KMr. Broadmeadow was a very wealthy man, that h > was married .md was forty-seven years old. He furnished no other information, but was, much distressed, because he .->aid h< had at first furnished identification at tile Coroner's office, and expected to be able to take the body away from tin* Morgue. "As no record was at the Morgue to show the identification made at the Coroner's office the body was not turned over to him. Bunn left, saying that he would take the matter up with the Coroner's office this morning."During the three weeks that he was at the house- he told the landlady that hv had family troubles. He .said he had a wife and daughter, but she gathered' from what little he told her that some estrange ment had taken place. I.»ast Sunday morning he left the house, saying he was going for an outing. That was the last she saw of him. "At 'No. 31 3 East Fourteenth Street, It was learned that Broadmeadow had board d there for about three weeks. The landlady knew nothing about him except that he went to the house about three weks ago, carrying all of his cffect.s in a handbag. He was well dressed. plentifully supplied with money, and seemed to be a man of w ealth "The body of a well dressed man was found floating In the East Klver at the foot of Cooear's Hook, at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and taken to the Morgue. About t> o'clock Charles H. iliunn, of No. II00 Broadway, Orange, N. J., Went to th Morgue and identified the body as that of his brother-in-law, Walter J. Broadmeadow, whose address h« gave a.* No. 313 East Fourteenth Street. With Mr. Bunn at the time were two well-dressed women. The three arrived in an automobile, and seemed greatly affected. Bunn said hi.s brother-in-law had been missing since last Sunday. On July 14 The Spirit made mention of the death of W. J. Broadmeadow, formerly superintendent of the Clearfield Bituminous Coal Corporation's mines at Kossiter. At that time no details of his death could be learned.

ONONDAGA LOST TO ADRIAN TEAM Funeral arrangements have not yet been made, but the body will be taken to her former home in Ohio for burial iMrs. Cummings is survived by one ton, J. H. Cummings, the B.. R. & P. roadon aster. •Mrs. Oummings was born in Ireland, and came to this country when but a girl.' She made her home in Ohio until about six years ngo. when she moved to DuBois. She came to PunxaUtawney about two and a half years ago. Mrs. Mary Cummings. <>f cherry street, aged 68. died this morning of the infirmities of old ag«\ after having been confined to her bed since la>»t August. When the lucal trains on the H.. R. & P. Railroad make the stop at West End the conductor invariably yells out 'TLlndgey." Since "Llndsey" no longcr exists, and it is the desire of all Punxsutawney residents to have tho.se passing through to gain aome idea [is to the size of the town, it might be well for the Chamber of Commerce to request the railroad company to instruct their conductors to call out •••West Punxsutawne.v" at that point. Passengers would undoubtedly have a better idea of the size and extent of the town If they knew that they were within the borough limits at the West End stop. The Pennsylvania Kailroad Is quite .interested in the proposition of good roads and lias a large number of the split log drags throughout the country. It Is the aim of the railroad to Set good roads so that it will be an easy matter to get traffic to railroad point*. The drag Is a simple affair a"hd Mr. Phalen stated that any farmer could go Into the woods and make all of it with the exception of the steel point, which is inexpensive. The drug was taken to IPark. Avenue and i.Vlaple Avenue, where it was placed In service by Commissioner Breon. The Park lAvenue trial was a very good one, although the street at present Is lull of small dtpr. salons and it would require considerable work by the drag in order to place it in shape. The drag is not a roadmaker; it is a device planned to keep roads in shape once they -have been constructed properly. It is certain that they will do this in a most satisfactory manner, as trial* have proven this fact all over the country. The split log drag, as a concrete proposition, was tried out in DuBois yesterday afternoon for the tiist time. The apparatus was one of several owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad, and was in charge of Supervisor Phalen. of the Low tirade Division, says the DuBois Express. The Onondag.iiUdespite their defeat of yesterday believe that they are stronger on the diamond than the Adrian contingent. The umpiring, according to an Onondaga man was so unsatisfactory that the Onondaga nine lost heart and literally* the game away- Th Adrian and Onondaga baseball teams met at Adrian yesterday afternoon and the Onondaga nine went down to defeat by the score of eleven to nothing. The police have arranged with the >roner to hold an Inquest tomorrow. Is expected that a chemical analysis f the woman's stomach wll show that ie had flrtt been poisoned.

J ( »• • — OHIXJAOO, July 14.—'Attorney general Wickersham, who recently vislt- ed Chicago to conl'or with District 'Attorney Edwin W. Sim.*, plans to center all the energies of the (Department of Justice on the investigation of the alleged beef trust, which was launched anew today with the convening of the special Federal Grand Jury, which was called iby Judge Landis after he had quashed the previous indictment against the packers on the ground of its faulty construction. Indictment of the packers as individuals on charges of conspiracy is the aim of the new inquiry. It i» the general belief that the present inquiry will not take more than one week. The stenographic testimony of the one hundred or more witnesses before the previous grand juries will be admissible and it is thought that not more than twenty new witnesses will be called. By a recent order of the Post Office Department it will be necessary for those sending registered letters, who wish return receipts from the person to whom the letter is addressed to so state on the letter, otherwise the receipt wil not be forthcoming.Mrs. J. A. Drake and daughter, Mary, of South Side, left on the 12:20 Monday to spend a week with Ensign arid Mrs. Abbott, of Bradford. Ensign and Mrs. Abbott were stationed here for some rime at the Salvation Army. Miss Bertha Armstrong hus just returned home from a week'# visit with friends at Rossiter. _ IPunxsutawney is an extremely healthy locality, as the health records will- show, and is an itleal place for the home. Within a radius of three miles of Punxsutawney. in the Mahoning Valley, there art a number of farms stich as the 'Red Men had in mind wl\en they decided to build the home. The local lodge of Red Men, consisting of over four hundred members, is one of the largest in the State, and Punxsutawney should have a good claim on the home. A farm In good condition i» wanted. One that will permit the Inmates, who are- able, to work. This Is an opportunity that xhould appeal to the people in this section, and every endeavor should be made to have the home located in the immediate vicinity of Punxsutawney. At a recent meeting of the Improved Order of Red Men. held In Reading, Pa., plans were formulated for the establishment of a home for disabled and destitute members olf the 1. >(>. R. M. and their families. It is planned to spend forty thousand dollars for the home and i small farm. Because of the large hicmberahlp In the western pait or the State the home will In all probability be built somewhere in this vicinity. I*. D. Rearlek, of Brocku avvltle, Is one of the committee designated to secure a site, and he Is making Inquiries throughout thi.s 'section In an endeavor to secure the best. # -■a _  -mm % n ' :
