The rumor lacks ofllcial verification, but is regarded with significance, owing to the fact that a well known contractor gave as his opinion today that an amicable agreement would be reached by the end of the present week. A member of the committee of carpenters, who was spoken to, claimed to be ignorant of any settlement proposals. Miiyor Langan met with the Builders' Exchange representatives last Monday night and held a conference of a few hours. What transpired at the meeting is not known. It is said that he will meet with the carpenters' representatives the latter end of the week. _ to Lutheran Ritual. Three Hughestown boys, about 17 years old each, were arrested last night on warrants sworn out before 'Squire Stephen Oimstead. They were Basil McCann, Edward Richards and Daniel Carter. The charge preferred against them was attempting to damage the home of Miss Maria Healey, who had the arrests made. At the hearing the prosecutrix alleged that the boys placed a large dynamite Are cracker near her house and then set it off. Tlie offense occurred Monday evening. She claimed that a nuTnber of windows in her house were broken as a result of the explosion, tho house was somewhat damaged and she was very much frightened. The defendants claimed thut they had nothing to do with placing the fire cracker near the house. After hearing the testimony the squire committed the defendants to jail and they were taken to the county prison by Constable Bennett. Attorney W. H. Gillespie secured their release from jail this morning by having ball furnished. The defendants were held by the justice for their appearance at court. Ex-Mayor T. J. Corcoran shot .1 young dog this morning after tho animal had snapped at several children. According to Mr. Corcoran the pup hit several children who were passing along tho street. As soon as the animal was called to his attention, Mr. Corcoran secured it with a rope and had It held while he went to the city hall and secured a revolver. Ho then took the pup to tho rear of the Four Brothers* saloon and put an end to its existence. ANOTHER MEETING-. CAUSE OF THE DEFEAT PORTER ALSO NAMED. NUMEROUS PRINCES.

About half of the 400 persous present were princes or special ambassadors of other countries with their aids-de-camp.

The mystery of the headless body found yesterday morning In Cork Lane is no closer to solution than it was when tlx1 decapitated trunk was first discovered. No attempt has been made to ascertain whether or not the head lies iu the abandoned shaft near which the body was found, as Reports from the section of the country lying east of Sayre Indicate that the storm Monday night was one of the worst that ever visited that section. At six o'clock Monday night the atmosphere was oppressive and gave every indication of an approaching storm. At 8:30 o'clock the sky was overcast with heavy clouds and a fe\V minutes later rain began falling in torrents which continued unabated for nearly three hours. In the meantime there were several heavy crashes of thunder accompanied by brilliant electrical displays that lighted up the sky almost as brilliantly as the noonday sun. The same question was addressed to the duchess, with the additional que*- tlon of "and obey," to which she also answered "Yes."

The Press cept, Due to Lack of Leadership. t Superior Court Judge Charles E. e, and not Governor Pennypackor, There was a conference last Night, at which Mr. Hyde was present with his legal adviser, Samuel Untermyer. There was u full and free discussion of the selection of a suitable man for the position of chairman of the board, and the selection of Governor Herrick proved acceptable to all who were In attendance. Reports have been received at army headquarters from Vladivostok indicating that the naval defeat was due largely to lack of leadership after Rojestvensky was wounded, the engagement being carried on practically without signals after the tirst hour and no attempt being made to adapt the movements of the fleet to meet the maneuvers of the Japanese.

An autopsy of the body was per formed by Dr. Burlington yesterday afternoon. The only mark of violence found was a slight cut on one of tho fingers. Tho body is still at the morgue of Undertaker Locuta, and will bo buried tomorrow at ltausom. 'Squire Prank Savage baa not yet appointed a coroner's Jury, but expects to do so today. The jury will likely meet either Mdny or Saturday. At the meeting of the board of directors of the Equitable this afternoon there is a possibility that Governor llerriek will be unanimously decided upon as chairman and that a committee will be appointed to wait upon the governor and formally tender to him the position. There Is little prospect that this matter will be decided today because of the formalities that must be carried out.

This was the yocond trial of the (case. Attorney Shea was engaged by the Susquehanna Co. during the strike a couple of years ago to do legal work. After the strike had been settled, Mr. Shea presented a bill for $5,000. The company declared it to be excessive and refused to pay. Mr. Shea began an action In court to collect the bill, and the case went to trial some months ago, a verdict for $5,000 being rendered. The company applied for a new trial on the ground that the defense had been compelled to accept a jury that had been drawn for another case. The request was granted and the second trial was held this week, with the result above mentioned.AT THE HOSPITAL.

The Russian officers assert that the ships surviving the first days of the battle must have been practically out of ammunition. The Japanese guns, the reports say, were of greater range than those of the Russians, their heavy shells flying over the battleship division and striking the transports and the unarmored cruisers beyond.
