W. of A. headquarters In Scranton (his morning announcing the death of a daughter of John Mitchell, national president of the U. M. W. of A., at the Mitchell home, In Spring Valley, Ind. The deceased had been ill for some time, but for the past few days she had been so much Improved that her father had decided to c(omo to the anthracite region, a trip which had been interrupted by her illness. Mr. Mitchell was to have started from .Spring Valley this morning. The news of Mr. Mitchell's bereavement will create a wide wave of sympathy for the respected leader, especially since the sorrow came when it was uillooked for. He will be forced to change his plans for coming to this region on account of the death. There Is a possibility—Jn fact, a probability—that ,tho branch of the Lehigh Valley railroad known as the "town track" Is to be torn up and done away with. Negotiations aro now on between the city officials and tlic officials of the railroad with this end In view. No public announcement has been made regarding the matter, but it is known that City Engineer Langan has made drawings of the proposed changes and that they are now being examined by the railway people. The proposed abolishment of the track is only a partial one and will not do away with the the two crossings, in Upper Pittston. The Idea as at present outlined is to have the track at the lower end terminate at the point where It comes onto Main street, opposite Tepllr's i?tDjre. At the upper end, the track will remain as at present between the Junction and the Ravine crossing. The crossing at the latter point will not be torn up, but will be coft- IPnued to the main tracks, between (Jalland's factory and Patterson's lumbor yard. These proposed changes are only on paper as yet, but the city officials are hopeful that the company will agree to them. The company ivlll be enabled to take care of all their trade as at present, if the track between the points proposed is abandoned, This step. It IB thought, is only a preliminary to the straightening of Main street at the old Kavinc shaft. The number of base ball players from this vicinity who are entering professional and semi-professional ranks is constantly on the increase. Within the past few days so many calls have been made on the Brothers' team that the ingenious manager, P. R. Schmaltz, will be at his wits' ends to secure players to fill the thinning ranks. Edward Schmaltz, James Moran and Michael Kehoe have signed with the Honesdale semiprofessionals and will appear in their lirst game in the Maple City today. Schmaltz will catch, Moran will play second base and Kehoe at shortstop. Moran lias resigned his position as clerk In Coxton yard and has been succeeded by Harry Hyan, of Upper Pittston. The Honesdale team will undoubtedly be greatly strengthened by the acquisitions from this city. Moughan and Steed, who did good twirling for the Brothers, have signed wifh a Wilkesbarre team. Manager Schmaltz, of the Brothers, is somewhat of a genius at picking up "finds" at the base ball game, and he feels confident that he will secure sufficient good players to replace those who have left.

Columbus, O., May 17.—The keynote of the Ohio Republican campaign to be sounded at the state convention here next Tuesday by Secretary of War Taft, as its chairman, will reverberate beyond state lines and its echo will arise in every state of the Union, proclaiming the opening of the campaign for the next Republican nomination for president of the United States.

New York, May 17.—Charged with being implicated iu the burglary of a private bank in GilberUville, In the Cutskllls, two weeks ago, two men and a woman were arrested In this city and locked up in police headquarters. Acting Captaiu MeCauley of the detective bureau was reticent about the arrests and would not say how they came about. He said, however, that in the apartments where the trio were found, at 231 West Forty-ninth street, a.complete burglar's kit had been seized. He said It was the most complete that had ever been taken to headquarters.Mr. Bowen culled on Secretary Taft and liandod in twenty typewritten pages, constituting his reply to Mr. Loornls' counter charge that he inspired the publication of the facts regardlug the grave charges against the integrity of his official superior.

This is the central idea of the selection by the Ohio Republican state central committee of Taft as the keynote sounder. The forces led by Senator Dick and Governor Herrick, the old Hanna organization, are to get behind Taft as Ohio's candidate for tho 1908 presidential nomination. They have started early because of the fact that Senator Foraker expects to ask Ohio to stand sponsor for him in the next national convention. The old Hanna crowd does not propose to allow Foraker to get his wedge in if they can help it, and hence the launching of the Taft boom at the earliest opportunity. In reply those pastors who side with Dr. Gladden said the signers of the statement "evidently were nettled" and added that the reply is evasive and does not answer one of the specific indictments.

Mr. Bowen" disclaims responsibility for the publication, stating that the charges were a matter of common knowledge to many persons in Caracas, that their substance at least had been transmitted to certain Kuropean governments by their diplomatic representatives in Caracas and that suggestion of the -whole case was contained in an article published in the Paris Temps and republished In part at least In the United States on April 1. Early on the morning of May 2 the private bank of E. C. Brewer at Gilbertsville, Greene county, was entered by five masked burglars. Dynamite was used to open the safe, and the explosion was so severe that it wrecked the entire bank. The noise of the explosion awakened the whole tqwn, but A DURYEA COW STORY.

Secretary Taft sent to the state department for these documents! They have been In the state department for several weeks, but hitherto have not figured in the case. They were received at the state department, it is said, before Secretary Hny left Washington for Europe. The investigation now in progress to which the documents bear an important relation began when Secretary Taft sent to President Roosevelt the charges which he received directly from Minister Bowen. Mini in the Foot uiul day Evening. Robbed Conductor Viewers lluve lieen Appointed to lie- A rather unusual case was heard | l:\3t evening by Squire Savage, of Duryea. The plaintiffs were Frank I'aulo, John Ituozyk and George Baron, all residents of Duryea, and the defendant was Gaetno Ragosta, who works a farm belonging to the Pennsylvania Coal Co. near the Barnum colliery, on the outskirts of Duryea. The charge made against Kagosta is that, last Sunday afternoon, he wounded cows belonging to the plaintiffs, which had trespassed on his flylds, by shooting them with tine shot. At the hearing last evening, the principal witness was a smalt boy, who testilied that he went to the Kagosta. place to look for the cows and that he saw the defendant shoot the animals. The cows were not killed, but were injured. There was something about the boy's testimony that was not clear. He said lie went to the farm about 12 o'clock and that he helped to repair a fence for about five minutes after that hour*. The justice tried to learn from the boy something about his whereabouts between 12 o'clock and 4 o'clock, the time, it was alleged, the shooting occurred, but was not very successful. Hagosta makes an emphatic denial of the charge and says he was in Pittston at the time the prosecution says the shooting occurred. In order that opportunity might be given to produce additional witnesses, the justice adjourned the hearing until Friday evening at sjeven o'clock. In the meantime Ragosta Is under $500 bail $500 bail. of Small Sum Detectlves were put to work on the case, and ever since they have been searching for the burglars.

Shortly before ten o'clock last night, a street car on the Tamaqua & Lunsford lino was passing through the outskirts of Mauch Chunk, when two masked men held up the car and boarded it with revolvers In their hands.

For several irenths past the Valley officials have been quietly working on this proposition, gradually securing options on the various Ransom farms that it is the intention to use In enlarging the yard until now they have the purchasing right of every piece of land essential• to the successful completion of their plan. That the company is very seriously inclined—in fact, is decided in this matter—is evidenced by the fact that tliey have had viewers appointed by the Lackawanna county court to view the liver highway In the vicinity of Hansom in connection with a proposition of the con.pany to have a portion of this road moved back close to the foot of the mountain for the purpose of joining the farms which will be used in the new project and which lie on both s.des of the present road.

He was married Feb. 16, 1869, in Scranton, to Sophia K., daughter of Thomas Dickson, then president of the Delaware and Hudson company. He had previously been in business for some years in Scranton and about the time of his marriage he formed business connections in Chicago, where he remainded until after the great fire of 1871, when he removed to New York. About 1874 ho returned to Scranton as assistant to Joseph J. Albright, the general sales agent of the Delaware and Hudson Co. Upon the death of Mr. Albright, about 1883, Mr. Torrey succeeded him as general sales agent, having his office for several years In Scranton and thereafter in New York.

Instead of passing between farms it will go between the farms unif the mountain. The location of the road will bo changed at some points about 150 yards east of the present road. It will skirt the base of the mountain and will join the upper part of the highway just north of the Mt. Valley road. The new road would be equally as convenient as the present one, as it would not be any longer and the grade would be fully as good. No damage to property would result from the change, as ail the land contingent to the road proposed to be changed is expected Jo become the property of the Lehigh Valley and will be in their name, it is expected, before the report of the viewers Is made.
