D. H. Clark yesterday received a t'heck from the secretary of the United States treasury, Washington, D. C., for $24,950, as payment in full for the site for the proposed new postofflce building on North Findley street. The document, which bore the signature «»f several of the treasury officials, was accepted at the Punxsutawney National bank without consulting Oradstreets of Dunn's as to linancial standing of the makers. The beginning: was made on the fourth floor in the apartments leading off from the auditorium, and wit a the force at hand it will not be long before the building will be ready for the painters and furniture and iixtureS.The work of putting on the tile roofing is progressing satisfactorily and the indications all point to conditions that will insure the completion of the building in ample time for dedication t-o take place before the opening of the fall term of school.

Kipp, of Towatida, Pa., member of Congress from the Thirty-seventh District, who was In Punxsutawney during the past week, left for homo yesterday. Mr. Kipp, who formerly resided in Punx* sutawney, still retains large financial interests in this section, especially in •the street car business. During his recent visit In company with D. H. (.'lark, manager of the trolley road enterprises, Mr. Kipp made a thorough inspection of all of the Jefferson Traction Company's properties and allied interests, Including a trip to Indiana. At the latter place the company, which also includes many Indiana capitalists, has about seven miles of road in course of construction and which will soon be ready to open up to trafTlc. The section that is nearest completion extends from Indiana to Ernest and it can now be definitely stated that by the Fourth of July passengers will go to and from Ernest and Indiana, by trolley. When the Indiana-Ernest line has s been completed work will be begun on the extension towards Punx.iutawney. Owing to the unfavorable weather this spring, work has not progressed as rapidly as contemplated, and it is probable that the Indiana-Ernest division will not be constructed further to Creekslde and Chambersvllle this season. Mr. Kipp also went over the rignl of way for tho Mahoning Valley line, which will connect Punxsutawney and Big Hun, and expressed the opinion that the grade Is a good one and the section through which It passes a most desirable community for a street car line. T/iere are now about a score of laborers working on the grade near Albion and the force will be increased as rapidly as possible. The other lines which Mr. Kipp and party Inspected are ull in Rood running: order and the schedules were found to be giving entire satisfaction. By Publishers' Press. WEST CHESTER, Pa., June 25.— Declared responsible by a coroner's Jury for the death of his step-daughter, flve-year-olcl Mary Ilobbtns Nevvlln, Irwin Lewis was held to the grand jury without ball and commited to jail on a capital charge. Lewis Is in such a shocking physical and mental condition that this morning physlcans expressed doubt whether he will live to face the jury on the accusation of murder. Lewis is now comparatively quiet. Fie seems benumbed with terror, appearing llko a man bereft of his sense;*.With Lewis' confession that iic burled the child the prisoner's father and mother, hitherto his staunch* est defenders, seem to have aban,c'J»ned /hope. Hiis wife maintains that he'spoke the truth, denying that he killed the child. Lewis' lawyers are said to be considering the advisability of urging their client to make a clean breast of everything, and throw himself upon the court's mercy. SEVEN CRUSHED BT EALLIIIG HOUSE Members of Jefferson County Bar Have Sworn Off For a Month. Two errors coming at critical moment* yesterday enabled Torn O'Hare's Erie clansmen to take the first of the series with the Fishermen. In all other respects Montgomery's diamond artists played the game and should have shut the Champs out 2 to 0. Johnny Yoedt, who was on the firing line, held the Fishermen down to four binglcs, one of them a fluke, and In none of his uniformly wellpltched games has he deserved more to win. The little slant artist not only fanned six of the lake lavers. but had seven assists and a hit to his credit. The locals swung on Orandy for nine hits and banged the ball all over the bit, but when hits meant runs those Brie Fishermen were there to block the- proceedings. The visitors put up a tine game and although there was little doing In the hit line they kept up their record of getting runs without hits. Running catches by Crum for the Pirates, Captain O'Hare for the via- the fans that Umpire Weddlge is A gentleman, a scholar and a good Itors, were features of the fielding game. 0The contest was as clean as a new pin on both sides and it Is tho unanimous verdict of the players and judge of baseball. The plays, as they occurred are hereinafter set down: First Inning; Erie—Crane singled between third and short; O'Hare got hit by the pitcher; Cole struck out; Huffman knocked a grounder to Yoedt, who broke it down. Koach recovered it, but threw it wild to Campbell, Crane scoring; Dunn bunted alohg: right foul line; Yoedt and Campbell both chased for he ball, the pitcher getting I it; Campbell darted back, but did I not get to his base In time to put the I runner out; Monte covered first, but was not seen by Yoedt, O'Hare second Ion the play; Hoffman got caught trying- to steal home, Bailey to Allen; C'osma struck out.

TS WILL GO TO DUBOIS THIS YEAR Haywood will take the stand to ! make personal denial of Orchard's accusations. Moyer may be called to tostify solely to events and circumstances affecting the Western Federation of Miners, but Pettlbone probably will not be a witness In this case. Darrow explained that Moyer and Pettlbone probably will not be a witness In this case. Darrow explained that Moyer and Pettlbone must stand trial for this same crime, and declared every lawyer knew of the danger, whatever the circumstances, of exposing men awaiting trial under like circumstances. I Darrow denied the existence of the great conspiracy to murder, alleged by the State with Orchard's testimony as a basis; denied that the federation was anything but an earnest fighting labor" organization with higher wages, shorter hours, tolerable working con* dltlons and the care, safety and education of its members and their wives and children as its high and only motives; denied the intimacy with the three co-defendants that Orchard laid claim to, denied the several conferences and conversations that Orchard swore to; denied that Orchard had even committed many of the crimes he had boasted of; and promised to make proof of his contention with many of the men named by Orchard when on the stand, and many witness- When court reconvened today orchard was brought In to Identify Ailvman, Foster and others who will take the stand to Impeach his evidence. In an address that occupied two sessions of the court yesterday Clarence Darrow outlined to the jury the detailed defense of William D. Haywood to the charge that he murdcrod former Governor Steunenberg. It is to be a denial of every material count In the testimony of Orchard, with a showing that Orchard killed Steunenberg becuase of a private grudge owing to the loss of a rich share in the Hercules mine, and explanations of the independent circumstances that tend to connect the codefendants with Orchard's life and operations. By Publishers' Press. BOISE, Ida., June 25.—"Still they come!" That Is the cry of the Western Federation men, and there Is today the wildest rejoicing in tht'r ranks over the showing that the men named by Orcha'rd as assisting him in his dastardly crimes, are making. There is the greatest gathering of clans in the history of the Organization, and It is considered as a greai tribute to the principles of unionism that the men, many of whom arc accused of the foulest crimes, should come here at their own expense to testify in the behalf of Haywood, and incidentally to clear their own names. The witnesses for the defense are more numerous than anticipated and expressions are heard that if these voluntary witnesses were guilty of the crimes alleged they would not da to come into court. cs of creditable character not connected by any tie with the federuj tion or its leaders. | Darrow charged that agents of the i Mine Owners' Association of Colo| rado and the Pinkerton detectives had ■ joined hands in a conspiracy to dis' i-red It the Western Federation of Miners. Agents of the mine owners had, he asserted, committed many minor crimes to discredit the federation. and he promised that the defense would show it was a reasonable inference that they had engineered the Indcpedence depot outrage as an "attempt" that had miscarried into a tragedy. He asserted that this trial was the culmination of the cemsplracy to kill the organization, and not Bill Haywood, Is on trial, and that Harry Orchard tinder the manipulation of Detective McParland, is trying to kill Moyer, Haywood and Pettlbone that he might save his own life. In explanation of the draft for $100 which Haywood sent to Jack Simpkins on December 21, 1906, Darrow promised the defense would show that Slmpkins had an expense account for $223 against the Federation and that after Slmpkins himself had cashed the check for that amount In Denver he gave Haywood $100 with the request that he mail the amount t'j Spokane. Of the personal relations between Orchard and Pettlbone Mr. Darrow declared anyone could make friends with Pettibone and that Pettlbone had fed Orchard as ho would "any other dog." As to their financial relations Darrow said that when Orchard left Denver for Wyoming he gave Pettlbone his money, trinkets and some of his papers for safe keeping. From time to time Pettibone forwarded part of the money to Orchard as he requested.The registered package that went to San Francisco contained trinkets and papers; the money that Pettibone sent to Orchard at San Francisco was sent in a manner and un.ter assumed names that Orchard had llrected and suggested in a telegram to Pettlbone. Use of assumed names, counsel declared, Is a common practice among union miners of Colorado, made a stern necessity by the blacklisting of union miners, who, he declared, had been abused, hounded, denied Justlco and driven from the State. Darrow said the defense would probably not undertake a showing as to the unsigned letter by Orchard at Caldwell jail, the letter that said ••That" had been sent to "Jack" on December 21, Hind wnleh Orchard swore Pettlbone wrote. At the close both sides would probably argue their respective constructions <>f It. By recommendation of the board of | directors of the Jefferson County War I Association the lawyers of this county will have an opportunity to take their annual vacation from June 24, to July 22. During that time no lawyer will bo able to institute a case in which another lawyer of this county is an attorney. The wise men can now take a month's vacation without any fear that they will be harmed legally during their absence. A large number of Punxsutawney attorneys will take this j opportunity to rest up.

NEW YORK.June 25.—After a thorough examination of the ruins of the tenement at Walker and Lafayette streets, which collapsed early today, it Is now definitely known that seven persons lost their lives. A number of the occupants were slightly injured and many had almost miraculous escapes. All of the dead were members ol one family, the children of Mr. and Mrs. Tomrisso Tarchino, ranging li. age from one and a half to twenty years.

NEW YORK, June :!&.—Harry K. Thaw celebrated the anniversary of the shooting of Stanford White today, by beginning an effort to procure his release from prison. The year in prison iias worked a marked change in Thaw, both In appearance and spirit. It was partly on account of Thaw's 111 health that his counsel consented today to  for bail. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, accompanied by Attorneys O'Rolliy and Peabotly, visited Thaw In the Tombs and found him looking worse than In weeks.

Walker a special meeting of the Council was held last night In the Municipal building with tho following dads present; O. P. Walker, president; Thomas, Downey, Heckendoin, Simpson, Smith, Cole, Miller, Clawson, Williams. Hell, Young, McAnlnch, Uly, Doran, Shearer. The matter of granting the Jefferson Traction Company the right of way over Ridge Avenue was taken up at once. Councilman Smith, chairman of the street Committee, told of the pressing need of widening Ridge Avenue at certain points and liie street car company's proposition for doing this. Beginning at the upper end of the stone wall an Ridve Avenue and extending to the Elk Run bridge the street is extremely narrow. Tiie Jefferson Traction Company owns the ground on the north side of the stone wall and It was their proposition to deed the borough six f»-et of that land. The sidewalk, which now occupies what should be the street, could then be removed and placed on top of the stone wall. The wall could be graded to meet tho Elk Run bridge and if the latter wete raised one foot the grade would be as Kood as could bo wished for. If the county authorities will permit the raising of the west end of the bridge I one foot, the above scheme will likely I be carried out. In behalf of the traction company, I T3. M. Clark had prepared an amend-I ment to a former ordinance granting the Jefferson Traction Company certain rights. The amendment, In addition to their former privileges, allows the company the right of way across North Front Street, along the ) southern portion of Ridge Avenue to | Elk Run bridge, the street car line ' crossing there on practically the same 1 curve it now takes. Councilman Bell moved that the amendment be accepted, seconded by Heckondorn, and was carried unanimously. I Stauffer, of Sfauffer and Reese, the • ontractor.q for the curbing on From Street, was present, and explained to the councllmen the reason for the delay In finishing the setting of the curb. When the contract was taken neither one of the contractors understood that the curbing was to go any further than the U., R. P. right-ofway, and consequently the curbing for the portion beyond that was not at hand. The work will proceed Immediately. Motion carried to grant the contractors an order for >162. The Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg Railroad Company was represented by A. B. Stewart, who wished to gain permission from the borough to lower a sewer from the old office building in Elk Run, which Is now being fitted up for a gymnasium. The present sewer is but a four-inch sewer and is too high to drain the building. The company wished to put In a lorger sewer lower down. A motion was passed authorising the burgess to grant a permit to the company for digging up the street at that point. A petition from the property owners on Pine Alley, asking that the alley might be curbed and paved with brick, the property owners to pay two thirds, was lead. A motion to accept the petition and pave the alley to the south side of the Veil property was carried. The report of the Property Committee and the solicitors report on the Lyman property were read and accepted. The solicitor was Instructed to fill out an article of agreement and to pay a sum which would bind the purchase of the property. For some time the council meetings have been rather drawn out, making It late when the councllmen from the West End arrived home. This was caused in a great measure by outsiders who attend the meetings to adjust small matters for themselves and took up more time than could be spared them. This, with a number of other things, caused the dads to adopt the following set of rules which were prepared by Councilman Doran, of West End: Punxsutawney, Pa., June 24. 1907. 3.
