SHAKEUP Had Been on a Visit to an Uncle In Sturmervllle. the Finding of Body. The anxiety of members and friends of the Pinokitis family over the mysterious disappearancs of 9-year old Hike Pinokitis, was allayed this afternoon at 2 o'clock when Master Mike came trudging inito his home, 369 North Main street. Wheri questioned he said that he had taken the idea of visiting an- uncle in Sturmervillc, with whom he had once stayed for a time, and so had started out. It was dusk last evening when the lad decided to. return, but the uncle and the people with whom he boarded thinking that the youngster could not find his way home, kept him until today. The anxiety over the mysterious disappearance of Bryugcss Williams of Granite, Mont., was brought to an end today, when Mrs. Williams, who now resides at 309 Luzerne avenue, West Pittston, received a telegram from Granite, containing the information that the body of her husband had been found in Ci lake near that town, in which it is supposed that he had been drowned while on a hunting expedition. The family were formerly residents of this place, but went to the west some years ago, and Mr. Williams had a remunerative position as hoisting engineer at a coal mine in Granite, Mont. Last fall he decided to go to the old country, with his family, and make his home with his father. His family, consisting of his wife and four children, came east, preparatory to making the trip across the ocean, and were visiting the family of Mrs. Williams' sister, Mrs. Edward E. Reynolds, at Kingston, awaiting the rival of Mr. Williams, when news came that the husband and father had failed to return from a hunting expedition at a lake near Granite, to which ho and the superintendent of the mine where he was employed had gone. Nothing wis heard from the missing men until the telegram was received today, announcing that the body of Mr. Williams had been found, instructions have been sent to Granite to have the remains forwarded to this city for burial.

The appointment of his brother, Whltefleld Van Cott, as inspector of mail boxes was fouiul to be Irregular, but us it wus approved "higher up"—by Mr. Beavers—the irregularity is not charged directly to Mr. Van Cott, and he is only made to pay back the salary drawn by his brother.

The statement is to the effect that on May 6th a train without the special marks required by the Red Crosa regulations was neen proceeding northward from Port Arthur. As soon as the train came in sight of a Japanese detachment, Russian soldiers on the train fired on the Japanese detachment and the latter returned the fire. The train stopped and a Red Cross flag was hoisted, whereupon the Japanese stopped firing and proceeded to make an investigation. Hefore this could be done, continues the statement, the train started up at full speed and was soon out of sight. Lieutenant Komurnitsky, who was wounded, snid that at the beginning of the fight Father Tcherbackoffsky, chaplain of the Eleventh regiment, blessed the men and cried, "Forward to your holy duty, for the emperor, for the fatherland anil for victory!" Another of the charges against the postmaster which was thoroughly investigated was that he ha\l, In 1902, permitted his son a seven weeks' leave of absence in Europe on pay, while the law permitted only fifteen days. Campbell, Rozelle & Webster BRENNAN & ROBERTS, The first distribution was made yesterday of crosses of the Order of St. George to the men of the Eleventh and Twelfth regiments for bravery displayed at the battle of Kiulieneheng. The In this case the postmaster is not charged with direct responsibility for the irregularity, as he thought he had the permission from the first assistant postmaster general. The amount of Richard Van Cott's salary during his Illegal leave is taken out of the postmaster's account. The sum charged up against Cornelius Van Cott on account of his brother is $1,800 nnd on account of Richard Van Cott $300, thus making $2,100 to be deducted from his salary on account of the two irregularities.42 North Main St. Next to Eagle Hotel, Patent Flour $5.75 Long'Hay..
