President Scallon characterized the proposition of Mr. Heinze us astounding and ridiculous and unworthy of consideration. Washington, Oct. 27. — President Roosevelt lias added a new sensation to the post office scandal by taking upon himself the responsibility of ordering a new investigation of the New York post office. The inquiry, he said, must be complete and go from Postmaster Van Cott's office Itself down through every department. Lot 6.

Allentown, Pa., Oct. 27.—At 6.30 this morning the dead body of Mabel H. Bechtel, aged 18 years, was found In an alley just outside her home. Her skull was crushed and there was a bullet wound in the side of her head. The girl worked in a silk mill here. She was engaged to Alfred Eckstein, of thiB city, and the wedding was soon to take place. Lately, however, David Welsenberger, aged 32, of South Bethlehem, a traveling salesman for an Allentown cigar firm, has been paying marked attentions to the girl. Yesterday morning, Weisenberger took the girl driving. That was the last seen of her by her family until this morning. Her mother was greatly worried when the daughter failed to return home last evening and sat up waiting for her. She told the police today that about midnight she heard carriage wheels near the house and out, thinking it wbb her daughtey coming home. She saw a carriage iltlve up a short distance from thS house and two men stepped out. Xifey lifted out of the carriage a dark/bundle and carried It into a vacant Jdt nearby. At the time, sh« thought nothing of thC5 occurrence, but now she feels certain that it was the body, of her daughter that was taken fropj the conveyance. Weisenberger hp.B disappeared, and It is believed tnat he went to Newark, N. J. Alfred Eckstein, the dead girl's fiance, and her brother, John Bechtel, were arrested this afternoon, on the charge of beihg implicated in the death of Miss Bechtel. Rear Admiral Bowles, whose family is one of the most prominent In New England, entered the Naval academy as a cadet engineer in 1875, and in 1879 he and his classmate, Richard Gatewood, were the first Americans to be admitted to the three years' course at the school of naval architecture of the Royal Naval college, Greenwich, England.

There was no attempt at religious exhortation, and even the usual collection was neglected. "Why doesn't he preach?" was the exclamation of many. This order, coming as it does after the office has already been Investigated by order of Postmaster General Payne, has caused much speculation, and the explanation frankly made Is that the president was not satisfied with the former Inquiry. Dowie seems likely to continue his tirades with Variations up to the end of his schedule unless legal complications Interfere. His barouche and fine pair of carriage horses were seized yesterday by two deputy sheriffs under an attachment Issued In the supreme court of WestcheBter county at White Plulns last week to Robert E. Farley, a lawyer. The vehicle and horses were taken by the deputies to a stable, where they were kept for several hours until Dowie gave a bond for double the amount involved. Mr. Bowles, then an assistant naval constructor, left his imprint on every one of the ships authorized in the early eighties. He advocated twin screws for all ships, and they were adopted in the Chicago. He drew and successfully advocated new bnttery plans for the Boston ' und the Atlanta. With great tenacity for his own views he fought against sheathing of wood and disposed of the question for years to come. In a statement issued to the press Mr. Scallon says these offers may look Innocent enough on the face, but in reality they amount to a refusal to settle the McGlnnis case. They are a turning down of the' miners' union proposition because the conditions of Mr. Heinze's offers are so unreasonable and exorbitant that they are Impossible of acceptance. Stegmaier Brewing Co Wilkesbarre, Pa. In is said In the office of the postmaster general that the new investigation is but a continuation of the old and that Mr. Brlstow's inspectors were not able to complete their work in New York last summer because they were needed In more important departments. PEOPLE'S STORE. 15 Sonth Main St., Pittston. ALWAYS the CHEAPEST Methods to Be Investigated. As to the proposed arbitration, Mr. Scallon Bays it is one not recognized by la#. It would not be and could not be made binding on Mr. Heinze and unfortunately would settle nothing, but would only lead to more prolonged litigation. After quoting the law of Montana on the subject, which states that "persons capable of contracting may submit to arbitration any controversy which might be the subject of a civil action between them except a question of title to real property In fee or for life," Mr. Scallon continues: Rear Admiral Bowles was ordered to the New York navy yard in 1895, when politics and idleness ruled the yards. Quietly and effectively he turned out the worthless and Incapable and won the esteem of all of his Industrious subordinates. At the same time it is known that the new investigation will go over much of the ground already covered, and particular attention will be paid to the promotion syndicate in which Mr. Beavers, it is said, was concerned and for which Otto F. Weiss, a clerk In the New York office, has already been dismissed. The case of Richard Van Cott, the postmaster's son, will also be reviewed again. The attachment Is for $1,000 alleged to be due as counsel fees by the lawyer for defending J. Luther Pierson, one of Dowle's believers, who the court of appeals has said wob culpable In not calling in medical aid to save a dying child. EVANS BROS. E W-PRICES Sir. Bowles' organization of construction work put the New York yard In such condition that It accomplished results in the way of preparation of ships for service at the outbreak of the Spanish-American war which challenged the admiration of the entire country. Before and during the war forty-seven auxiliary vessels were fitted for sea, as was the hospital ship Relief. Madrid, Oct. 27.—A sensation was caused In official circles today by the discovery of a plot to blow up the Cortes building with dynamite.

He is forty-five years old. Alleged fragrant violations of the civil service law will also come In for thorough sifting in the new investigation, and the prediction is made thut wholesale dismissals, if not a thorough reorganization, may be the important result.
