He attended for the first time in his life the meeting of the Republican state central committee and received an ovation. While a Republican, be has always held aloof from the organization, but his appearance among the leaders was greeted with a reception that amounted to a love feast. An address to the king was adopted declaring that no ill feeling was entertained against him, his dynasty or the Swedish nation and asking him to co-operate in the selection of a young prince of the house of Bernadotte to occupy the throne of Norway. Admiral Slgsbee conferred with navy department officials and Acting Secretary of State Boomis about his trip to France to bring back the body of John Paul Jones.

The fall occurred In the open part of Patterson's lumber yard, on the east side of North Main street. The animal belongs to Adam Sites, who frequently turns it loose at night to graze in the lumber yard. About 2 o'clock this morning the horse wandered up to the highest part of plot, which terminates in.a cliff about 25 feet high, directly above an excavation made some years ago for a building. In some manner the animal slipped over the edge of the cliff and tumbled to the ground, a direct fall of more than 25 feet. The fall aroused people living in the neighborhood, who were at a loss to account for the unusual racket. Upon Investigation the horse was found, unable to rise but alive. Mr. Sites was sent for and, after much hard work, succeeded in getting the animal to Its feet. The horse received no broken bones in the fall and today, beyond being stiff, it showed no effects of the fall. Franco. Ready to Start. King Oscar up to the present lyis not given any indication of the course he intends to pursue beyond recording his firm protest against the proceedings.

One of the worst looking tramp specimens that have been gathered in by tbe West Side borough police force in a long time, will be a guest at the borough lockup for the next few days. He was picked up by the police last evening, and was Riven a hearing before the burgess last evening. It was one of the most novel hearings Air. Jenkins has conducted since he took his scat in the burgess' chair. When called for a hearing the tramp said his name was William J. Roberts, and that he claimed Wilkesbarre as his home, although he was like a bad penny—liable to turn up most anywhere. The burgess didn't ask him as to his nationality— for his broad Welsh brogue was proof positive. Burgess Jenkins is also a Welshman, but Roberts, the tramp, didn't know it. When asked what he had to say for himself Roberts claimed he could not talk English good enough to tell his story, but he would gladly tell it in the Welsh language if the burgess would get an interpreter* Roberts almost collapsed with astonishment when Burgess Jenkins addressed him In Welsh and told him to proceed with his story in the Welsh language. To the amusement of the spectators the rest of the hearing was conducted In the Welsh language, but they knew nothing of the result until Chief Francis led Roberts back to the cell for a tlvo days' visit. Roberts' story was of the usual hard luck kind, but his pleadings for mercy In the mother tongue had no effect on Burgess Jenkins.

Bonaparte, who is soon to become secretary of the unvy and who has been Maryland's leading Independent Republican, a fighter of graft In both parties and a civil service reformer, has become the leader of the Republican organization In this state. He attended for the first time in his life the meeting of the Republican state central committee and received an ovation. While a Republican, be has always held aloof from the organization, but his appearance among the leaders was greeted with a reception that amounted to a love feast. An address to the king was adopted declaring that no ill feeling was entertained against him, his dynasty or the Swedish nation and asking him to co-operate in the selection of a young prince of the house of Bernadotte to occupy the throne of Norway. Admiral Slgsbee conferred with navy department officials and Acting Secretary of State Boomis about his trip to France to bring back the body of John Paul Jones. Captain Wins low was detailed to act with Admiral Sigsbee in preparing a programme for the trip, but they had not gone far when it was found impossible to act at this distance, and information is awaited from CLIFF LIKE ROCK Case is at a Standstill—No Effort iMadc to Kecovor the Head of MET FRIGHTFUL DEATH the Victim.

There Is a possibility that a man may be sent down into the shaft tomorrow, if permission can be obtained to do so, to ascertain if the head is on the surface of the water. Several men have volunteered to make the descent for a money consideration and there is a probability that this will be forthcoming. The Inquest will be held tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock in the undertaking rooms of Peter Liocul#., in DupOnt.

Patrick McGinley, of Carbondale, Buried Alive. A horse had a fall of about 30 feet early this morning over a cliff-like rock on North Main street and lives. The fall occurred In the open part of Patterson's lumber yard, on the east side of North Main street. The animal belongs to Adam Sites, who frequently turns it loose at night to graze in the lumber yard. About 2 o'clock this morning the horse wandered up to the highest part of plot, which terminates in.a cliff about 25 feet high, directly above an excavation made some years ago for a building. In some manner the animal slipped over the edge of the cliff and tumbled to the ground, a direct fall of more than 25 feet. The fall aroused people living in the neighborhood, who were at a loss to account for the unusual racket. Upon Investigation the horse was found, unable to rise but alive. Mr. Sites was sent for and, after much hard work, succeeded in getting the animal to Its feet. The horse received no broken bones in the fall and today, beyond being stiff, it showed no effects of the fall. Franco. Ready to Start. King Oscar up to the present lyis not given any indication of the course he intends to pursue beyond recording his firm protest against the proceedings.

He was not in the city an hour before he was In close touch with his political lieutenants, who hnve already begun fighting Mayor Dunne and setting up the Harrison fences for the next municipal election. Whereas the exact text of the czar's message to his diplomatic representatives In Washington and Paris is known here only to the emperor and the foreign office. It is said the inquiry is couched in more direct terms than might have been expsfltad uuder the crrwunrstaHres. It Is not conllned to the negative phrasing that "his imperial majesty would not be averse to learning" Japan's views on peace arrangements, but it states lucidly that the emperor wishes to gain that kuowl- Mrs. Musto, an Italian woman, who lives near the shaft where the body was found, went today to Dupont to see if she could identify the body.

One of the worst looking tramp specimens that have been gathered in by tbe West Side borough police force in a long time, will be a guest at the borough lockup for the next few days. He was picked up by the police last evening, and was Riven a hearing before the burgess last evening. It was one of the most novel hearings Air. Jenkins has conducted since he took his scat in the burgess' chair. When called for a hearing the tramp said his name was William J. Roberts, and that he claimed Wilkesbarre as his home, although he was like a bad penny—liable to turn up most anywhere. The burgess didn't ask him as to his nationality— for his broad Welsh brogue was proof positive. Burgess Jenkins is also a Welshman, but Roberts, the tramp, didn't know it. When asked what he had to say for himself Roberts claimed he could not talk English good enough to tell his story, but he would gladly tell it in the Welsh language if the burgess would get an interpreter* Roberts almost collapsed with astonishment when Burgess Jenkins addressed him In Welsh and told him to proceed with his story in the Welsh language. To the amusement of the spectators the rest of the hearing was conducted In the Welsh language, but they knew nothing of the result until Chief Francis led Roberts back to the cell for a tlvo days' visit. Roberts' story was of the usual hard luck kind, but his pleadings for mercy In the mother tongue had no effect on Burgess Jenkins.
