He then ended his own life. Washington, May 10.—Secretary Taft fairly took the breatli of tlie 300 railway meu members of tbe international railway congress (lining last night as the guests of the American Railway association at the New Wiilard hotel when after being introduced as "the apostle from the Philippines" he emphatically declared that railway rate legislation must come, so that if the railway men of the country were wise they would aid and not hinder It; that the sentiment of the country is such that failure of proper regulation meant a campaign on the subject that would do no good to the ruilroads. Marquette, Ivan., May 10.—'Traveling ninety miles an hour, a tornado swept through the heart of this tow*, wrecking every structure in Its path and causing the loss of twenty-six lives aral seriously injuring 100 persons.

There was, for instance, Baltimore, the lion that last year wank liis teeth into Captain Jack Bonavlta's arm in Bostock's iron ring at Coney Island. In other cages near were dozens more of the jungle folk whom Bonavita, now one armed because of Haiti more, means to drive around the ring this season at that same Bostock's. In the cabin was Bonavita. In the cabin also was the Princess de Montglyon, with other titles, lover of animals and chatelaine of a big estate.

Frame and stone Inklings were alike swept away. It traversed the entire length of the town, leaving a line of wreckage 1(MD yards in width. C. DONNELLY. Mayor I.angan struck a blow In the cause of temperance this morning while handing out tines to prisoners, who had been taken in during the night. Among those given hearings were a young man from this city and a middle aged man from West Pittston, the latter the same one who had to be taken to the station house in a wagon yesterday. After ascertaining that there was nothing malicious in either case the mayor delivered a lecture to the men and concludcd by asking them if they would promise him to stop drinking. Both men made the promise, the older man stating that he had brokin away yesterday, after eight months of total abstinence. The young man promised to take the pledge before the day is out. Both men were discharged. CONCILIATORS CONFER. Absolute silence reigned as Secretary Tuft spoke his mind on the subject of rates. lie was positively against government ownership, lie said, believing that nothing so deleterious could eotne to the country as this solution of the question. Poet and philosopher was the Japanese and from verses and quotations from Huxley and Spencer found In his pocket, it is believed he and the woman may be the victims of a love tragedy. Some of the poems were written in English, German and in Japanese. Without Slighted" Warning. In tlm hold with the fiercer beasts were ponies to the number of six, fated to be food for the carnlvora, among them one gray wolf of a Shetland whose name had been forgotten when lie ceased to be of account in polo. Close by three fine collies, lemon and white, leaped and barked thrice daily when their mistress, the Princess de Montglyon, visited them with food. The princess took an interest in the ponies, petted the nameless one particularly and so in five days came to bo the little fellow's fast friend. Then of a morning she met the pony being led along the deck by a man with a great mallet. Mseting Held in Hazleton The weather was intensely humid for several hours before the storm. There had been a terrific downpour, and then shortly after midnight came a strange stillness. That was followed by a tornado. which came up without the slightest warning. LARCENY IS CHARGED. Yesterday. The Japanese was handsomely dressed and the woman was neatly gowned. The man had the bearing of a soldier. In his pockets was also found a racing card, Indicating that he had made several wagers at the race track. One of the quotations of the man's own writing read: "A woman never cares for a man until he ceases to care for her." "But," he continued, "you cannot run railroads as you run a private business. You must respond to the public demand. If there is danger of discrimination, then you must allow the establishment of some tribunal that will remedy that discrimination." Four Grievances Were Presented and Important Arrest Mad3 at Stroudsburg. Testimony Taken, but No Peels- f It has been found that the windstorm gathered .about three miles west of the town. ,It cut a lane through a thick wood and reached this place. Its path was Just east of the business section and straight tliror«i the residence quarter. Ev#y building went down. Some of them were lifted from their foundations and scattered for half a mile.

A meeting of the Conciliation Board was held in Hazleton yesterday. At the morning session only two grievances were considered. The first was that of miners in the employ of the Silver Brook colliery, who alleged that the firm refused to permit them to hire their own laborers. The matter was amicably settled. The other was that of the Delaware and Hudson Coal company miners at Plymouth, who claim that they are not paid for taking out bottom "bone" unless it is of a certain thickness. ing Large Ixmn From Com- INTERESTING SERVICE. The secretary saw no reason why a tribunal properly constituted should not be competent in every sense of the word to fix a maximum rate. The police are trying to identify the bodies. There are no clues gxcept that the man probibly bought his hat in San Francisco, the hat mark bearing the name of that city. pany on a Stolen Cer- tificate. William Paly, (alias Lobley) was arrested in Stroudsburg yesterday, charged with grand larceny. It is alleged that he stole $27,000 from the Equitable Life Assurance society. "Where do you take him?" she asked, "To feed the lions," was the compre hensive reply. Stuyvesant Fish, president of the American Railway association, had introduced Secretary Taft. In Ills capacity as toastmnster Mr. Fish was 011 his feet the Instant the secretary concluded. He answered the secretary at length, taking the view that the law to prevent discrimination, double dealing and secret rebates was ample, and lie vigorously culled for tin? enforcement of that law. St. James' Church Will be When e'er you feel impending ill, And need a magic little pill. No other one will fill the bill Like DeWitt's Little Early Risers. Sentence Is Stayed. The house of O. S. Ellvin was the first to be hit. Mr. and Mrs. Ellvin were sleeping on the second floor. The end of the house was cut off, and the bed 011 which they lay was caught up by the tremendous suction. Before either could recover from their astonishment or realize their position the bed was dropped squarely in the middle of Main street. The princess obtained a stay of sentence and sought Captain Bonavita. He was anxious to oblige, but the wild fellows below were his living, and they must have their living in fresh meat. Consecrated Tomorrow. In a statement issued by officials of the Equitable society, it was explained that William C. Cotton, of Brookllnet Mass., is the owner of a $50,000 policy in the Equitable society. In March, 1!)04. he borrowed $27,000 on it. depositing the policy with the society as a security for the loan. A few months later, the official*- say, the policy was stolen from the vaults of the society by a trusted employe who was working in conjunction with L bley. The books of the society containing n rccoid o* the previous loan were altered and Cotton's name was forged to an application for another loan of $27,000. The second loan ws made, it Is declared, to Lobley. BURNS WERE FATAL. Bishop Talbot W ill be in Charge and Attorney James H. Torrey, of Scranton, represented the company, and stated that the pric«j paid for "boney" was 55 cents per yard, but as the chamber progressed the amount of "boney" decreased.

Dr. Jones, of W'llkes- Mr. Fish talked of the vested rights of the money tied up in railroads.

Mr. Collier's body had been quite badly burned but his condition did not seem critical until yesterday afternoon. The young man was well known throughout the city, having spent nearly all his life here. Some months ago he went to Spadra, Ark., and only lataely returned. He was aged 25 years. Deceased is survived by nls wife and two small children, Anna and Agnes. His mother, Mrs. panics Collier, and live brothers, William. Bert, Vincent, and Joseph, residing in this city, and Sylvester in Pittsburg, also survive. The remains of the deceased have been removed to the home of his father-in-law. Patrick Cox. of Scarle woman Detail Superintendent Pettibone was called and submitted a map showing the variation of the "boney." While the latter was testifying. President Nleholls asked one pertinent question as follows: "Do you think it right, Mr. Pettibone to refuse to pay a miner for the removal of 'boney' unless it is over eight inches in depth and will pay fifty-live cents a yard when it reaches nine inches, and that price remains stationary even if the 'boney' should reach a depth of two and onehalf feet?" The baby daughter of the Rev. Mr. Smith was rolled in the mattress. The Smith residence was laid out like cardboard. and the minister thought his infant had been killed. Hearing cries in the ruins, he cut his way to it with an ax. The infant was without a scratch. The tornado had taken the mattress clean from the cot and rolled it around the baby. "Agreed," said Bonavita, not even taking time to think of press notices. Tomorrow will be a red lettci day In the history of the St, James' Episcopal church, of this' city.

This time was given, and the secretary utilized it in making himself more positive as to his position In favor of legislation which would create n tribunal with authority to name a maximum Last January, the officials say, the operation was repated in part and a third loan would have been made if the paying teller of a bank had not held up on the Equitable society's check, suspecting that something was wrong and Insisting upon identification.

"as decided by the supreme court of the United States, that first a commission and then the courts may decide whether a particular rate Is reasonable or unreasonable.

Then came to the fore G. W. Love, freight agent of the Morgan shipping combine. He had a bill of for the transportation of the pony, which the princess supposed Bona vita had paid. Superintendent Pettibone then continued his testimony. He said that there was no change in the price, the same as in force before 1902, being in street.

A temporary hospital has been fitted up and is being managed by a dozen girl students from a college In Salina under the direction of several Saliua physicians. Much suffering is feared, as scores of families have been left destitute. "As I understand It. what Is proposed is only that in litigated oases a commission shall he constituted that shall lix a maximum rate—In other words, to go through the same process it now goes through to determine what is a reasonable rate. What I am strongly in favor of though is that we shall have a hotly that shall decide things and that shall fix things and that those things shall he decided within a reasonable time finally by the courts." vogue now pared At the afternoon session grievances were heard from Benjamin Lewis, a patcher, who claims he was suspended by G.
