The ceremony was performed in St. George's chapel in the grounds of Windsor Castle, the Archbishop of Canterbury officiating, assisted by the Bishop of Oxford and seven other ecclesiastics. Washington, June 15.—Despite the denials that there has been auy hitch In the peace negotiations there is here reflected a feeling of uncertainly reported from St. Petersburg and Tokyo. The only definite point to which this uncertainty can be ascribed is the fact that no agreement has yet been reached as to the place where Russia's plenipotentiaries will meet those of Japan and begin the work of peace making. New York, June 15.—Persistent rumors that the report of Francis Heudrlcks, superintendent of insurance, will not only contain criticisms of the sharpest character concerning the Equitable methods of conducting Its business, but will make many recommendations for the future guidance of the society's officers, reached Paul Morton and had the effect of changing the plans of the new chairman of thu board of directors. Chicago. June 15.—James Dalryuiple's repudiation of municipal ownership for Chicago or any other American city, as expressed In an Interview attributed to him in Philadelphia, has aroused intense hostility here among the purtlsans of the movement to have street railways owned by the city. Winker Jeffrey Wants $10,000 Damages WRECK ON THE CENTRAL From Avoea Coal Co. for Death of Ills Son. A heavy suit for damages was instituted this morning against the Avoca Coal Co. The sum of $10,000 is asked. The prosecutor is Walter Jeffrey, of Avoca, whose son, Davkl Jeffrey, was killed last February, while in the employ of the company. The prosecution alleges that the accident resulted through tile negligence of the company. Mr. Jeffrey is represented by Attorneys John T. Lenahan and John It. Heap.

Foreigner Killed Last Night or This Morning. The first business transacted was the election of Mr. Morton as a member of the executive committee. Mr. Ilyde in a short speech welcomed the new member and said in effect that he hoped he would bring order out of the tangle in which the society's affairs had fallen. Coroner's Jury Sheds No Light on the Case. There was a serious yet fortunate accident this morning on the Central Railroad of New Jersey, near South Wilkesbarre. The Philadelphia llyer, northbound, was wrecked, and Fireman Harry Wlldermuth was dangerously injured. Opinion Little Valued. •Slight Suspicion of Murder Cannot bo Mayor Dunne refused to discuss Mr. Dalrymple's statement. Alderman William E.

Everything went all right with the train this morning until a point just north of the crossover switch known as Franklin Junction, in South Wilkesbarre, was reached.

Ilis wonderful intellect has grasped in a few brief days during which he was supposed to be traveling busily about Chicago a more thorough knowledge of the Inside workings of polities in Chicago than is possessed by most of the local politicians after years of study of the political problem." The mangled remains of a foreigner were found about 5 o'clock this morning along the main tracks of the Li-high Valley railroad. In the vicinity of Patterson & Oo.'s mill, on North Main street. The body was identified as the remains of Philip Novak, a Waiting For Hendricks Report. The coroner's jury Investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of Frank Cuilaro, whose beheaded body was found In Plttston township last week, held an adjourned hearing yesterday afternoon at the residence of Peter Locuta, In Dupont. At a previous hearing, the two young men who found the body were the only witnesses. Yesterday afternoon only one witness was called. Dr. Burlington testified as to post mortems performed on the head and body of the victim. In the doctor's opinion the man had been beaten over the head with a blunt instrument and killed and afterward decapitated. There was little or no blood in the body or head, and as there was no blood near the spot where the body was found, it was evident the man had been murdered elsewhere and the remains carried to the place where found. The contents of the man's stomach showed he had partaken of a meal of macaroni shortly before being murdered. In the doctor's opinion the man's head was severed with a knife. rites, "At the meeting," he said, "the committee was not reorganized along the lines recommended by the directors at their last meeting. The personnel of the finance committee was not changed. The fact Is we are all waiting for the Hendricks report to be made public before taking any action. My plans are unsettled, and I do not intend to make any move until I know the contents of that document. Prince Gustavus Adolphus awaited his bride at the altar, near which were gathered King Edward, Queen Alexandra and the Crown Prince of Sweden. The brief ceremony of the Church of England was used, and, at the conclusion, the choir sang "Thank We Our God," and the bridal party entered the vestry room of the chapel, where the marriage registry was signed by the bride and groom, the King of England, the Crown Prince of Sweden, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Connaught. The train was running at a rate of about 35 miles au hour at the time, and the derailed locomotive ran along the ties, swerving from one side of the track to the other, for a distance of about 100 yards. The track for the distance mentioned was badly damaged and the roadbed was torn up for the same distance. Polander path, a short distance away where tho body was fount). It seems probable that Novak was killed by a train as he was going to his home some time early this mornin". There are some suspicions that foul play was done, hut none of the circumstances tend to prove this. Tho body was found by a Lehigh Valley employe, who was walking along the tracks. There were evidences that the man had been dead only a short time, as the body was warm when first found. William Winters,, an employe of the I'atterson mill, was iirttilied, A telephone message was sent to '.Squire Savage, the deputy coroner, and he ordered the remains removed, which was done by Undertaker Howell. The body was somewhat mangled. One of tlii! legs was cut off at the knee and the other leg was badly crushed. There was a deep gash cut In the left temple and two cuts on the cheek. The body was readily identified. Two of Novak's brothers Verified the identification. Novak had lost one of his arms in an accident and this made who resided on the tow from Geneva as lier preferred place of negotiating. Japan Las in turn nominated the United States.

"I prefer to wait until I learn whether it is authentic." President Roosevelt hits not yet been called upon to make good his offer to name the place if the belligerents could not agree. But he would like to see them meet at The Hague. It is his belief that the Dutch capital Is the proper point for great works of peace and that every arbitration or peace conference held there strengthens its "We are all in the dark as to what the report will recommend. I have not talked with Mr. Hendricks and have not, of course, hud an opportunity to learn what line the report will follow.

When the wheels of the locomotive dually ceased to revolve, the massive piece of machinery had toppled over on Its side. Fortunately the ground was nearly level on the side where the locomotive overturned. The engineer was on the upper side of the cab, as it lay on the ground, and after the locomotive came to a stop he climbed Dalrymple's Views.

"I came to this country a believer in public ownership," lie said, "but after a study of the situation here I am forced to believe that private ownership under proper conditions Is better for the American cities."

One of his legs was fractured, and the end of the broken bone was sticking six Inches outside the flesh. He also suffered internal injuries. lie was taken to Mercy hospital, Wilkesbarre, where, at last report, his condition was very critical. It was feared that he could not survive the injuries. Wildermuth's home was in Ashland, Pa., and he has a wife and two children.

Nelldoff, the Russian ambassador to Prance, as Russia's chief plenipotentiary has been received. Ferdinando Mercadante, the forelyner, who went Into the abandoned shaft at the old "Cork and Bottle," and took from It the head of Cullaro, sent word to this ofllee this morning that the stories published about "Black Hand" letters being received by him arc without foundation. Ho says he received no letters of any sort and no threats from secret societies. The "Black Hand" story was published in good faith by the papers, having come from an official source. ing Containing $18 on the Bank—He Entered the Water in Back of Squire Savage viewed the remains and said that hO suspected foul play because of the wounds on the head, which appeared us if they had been made with a knife. his identity positive The stocks were not sold, being bid in by the owners, who declined to allow the stock to go at prices twentylive and thirty points below recent Marshall Gave Edward a Hint, Oregon London. June 15.—Wilson Marshall of tlie New York Yacht club, owner of the yacht Atlantic, which won tlie transatlantic race for the cup presented by Emperor WbL'am. was presented by Sir Thomas I-lpton to King Edward at Windsor castle. Mr. Marshall having remarked how uiuch himself and other American yacht owners would like to coiniDete for a king's cup in English waters, the king said It always gave him the greatest pleasure to do anything for the encouragement of yachting. A man of unknown Identity was drowned shortly after 1 o'clock tills afternoon in the river at a point opposite the lower end of Oregon. The man went into the water alone. A number of small boys were about at the time, but not one of them knew who he was. There was nothing about his clothing that would give an idea of his identity. He had been dressed in a new suit of clothing and in one of the pockets were some bills and small change amounting in all to $18.75. Not a mark about the clothing gave the slightest hint as to who tlie man was. Chief Loftus was not notillcd of the drowning until after sales. Japan will refuse to have the meetlug take place in Paris because it is the capital of Russia's ally and because of its great distance from Japan and the delay Involved. It is expected that Japan will propose that the plenipotentiaries meet at some point close to the theater of war. The Japanese plenipotentiary has not yet been selected. Dr. Nowth held a post mortem and will make a report at the inquest. The most probable theory Is that Novak was struck by an engine as lie was crossing the track on the way to his boarding house. The location of the body tends to substantiate tills idea. A dollar and some small change were found on the body, as well as small trinkets. Novak worked in No. 14 colliery and had drawn $15 pay yesterday, lie was 30 years old and unmarried.

Conductor James Walker, of Alluntown, was standing in the baggage car when the accident occurred. lie escaped injury and iinmediajely went to the assistance of the fireman. The Injured man was placed on board the train, a new engine was procured, and the train was backed to Franklin Junction, from which point the injured man was transferred to Mercy hospital. A number of pliysiciaiis were hurried to the scene from the central part of tile city, but their services we're not required, as the passengers wore not injured. They received a good shaking up, however, before the locomotive ceased running. The newspapers and public continue a spirited discussion of the situation, devoting themselves largely to a probable armistice and terms of peace. The newspapers continue to be flatly opposed to an early armistice, which would deprive the army and navy of the advantages within their grasp. It Is generally thought that Field Marshal Oyama's plans are rapidly maturing and that the next great drive will sweep General Linevitch back and carry the Japanese army into Russian territory. County Detective Jones was notilled this morning of the death ,and the circumstances by Squire Savage. The following jury was empaneled: W. S. Casterline, Frank Savage, C. E.

About ten boys between 10 and 15 years of age were swimming in the river at a spot known as "sandy," in the rear of Oregon Grove, shortly after 1 o'clock when a man came along. According to thoso who saw him he was 30 or 35 years old, with black hair and a black moustache. He was not a foreigner.

When ho had gone out some distance he turned and swam slowly down the stream a distance of probably 100 yards, still keeping to the middle of the river. The boys were watching him and suddenly they saw him throw up his hands and sink. He arose again and again went down. He came to the surface three times and seemed to be struggling. The little fellows watched him Intently but after the third time he did not come to the surface. None of them heard him cry out or make any sound during the struggle. At first the boys did not know what to do and they spent about an hour near the clothing. Finally it was decided to notify Chief L.oftus and some of the boys h(rried to the city hall and told him of the drowning. ; The good faith and ultimate intentions of Russia toward peace are openly and generally questioned.

The ceremony was performed in St. George's chapel in the grounds of Windsor Castle, the Archbishop of Canterbury officiating, assisted by the Bishop of Oxford and seven other ecclesiastics. Washington, June 15.—Despite the denials that there has been auy hitch In the peace negotiations there is here reflected a feeling of uncertainly reported from St. Petersburg and Tokyo. The only definite point to which this uncertainty can be ascribed is the fact that no agreement has yet been reached as to the place where Russia's plenipotentiaries will meet those of Japan and begin the work of peace making. New York, June 15.—Persistent rumors that the report of Francis Heudrlcks, superintendent of insurance, will not only contain criticisms of the sharpest character concerning the Equitable methods of conducting Its business, but will make many recommendations for the future guidance of the society's officers, reached Paul Morton and had the effect of changing the plans of the new chairman of thu board of directors. Chicago.

The prosecution alleges that the accident resulted through tile negligence of the company. Mr. Jeffrey is represented by Attorneys John T. Lenahan and John It. Heap.

Mr. Ilyde in a short speech welcomed the new member and said in effect that he hoped he would bring order out of the tangle in which the society's affairs had fallen. Coroner's Jury Sheds No Light on the Case. There was a serious yet fortunate accident this morning on the Central Railroad of New Jersey, near South Wilkesbarre. The Philadelphia llyer, northbound, was wrecked, and Fireman Harry Wlldermuth was dangerously injured. Opinion Little Valued. •Slight Suspicion of Murder Cannot bo Mayor Dunne refused to discuss Mr. Dalrymple's statement. Alderman William E.

Everything went all right with the train this morning until a point just north of the crossover switch known as Franklin Junction, in South Wilkesbarre, was reached.

Ilis wonderful intellect has grasped in a few brief days during which he was supposed to be traveling busily about Chicago a more thorough knowledge of the Inside workings of polities in Chicago than is possessed by most of the local politicians after years of study of the political problem." The mangled remains of a foreigner were found about 5 o'clock this morning along the main tracks of the Li-high Valley railroad. In the vicinity of Patterson & Oo.'s mill, on North Main street. The body was identified as the remains of Philip Novak, a Waiting For Hendricks Report. The coroner's jury Investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of Frank Cuilaro, whose beheaded body was found In Plttston township last week, held an adjourned hearing yesterday afternoon at the residence of Peter Locuta, In Dupont. At a previous hearing, the two young men who found the body were the only witnesses. Yesterday afternoon only one witness was called. Dr. Burlington testified as to post mortems performed on the head and body of the victim. In the doctor's opinion the man had been beaten over the head with a blunt instrument and killed and afterward decapitated. There was little or no blood in the body or head, and as there was no blood near the spot where the body was found, it was evident the man had been murdered elsewhere and the remains carried to the place where found. The contents of the man's stomach showed he had partaken of a meal of macaroni shortly before being murdered. In the doctor's opinion the man's head was severed with a knife. rites, "At the meeting," he said, "the committee was not reorganized along the lines recommended by the directors at their last meeting. The personnel of the finance committee was not changed. The fact Is we are all waiting for the Hendricks report to be made public before taking any action. My plans are unsettled, and I do not intend to make any move until I know the contents of that document. Prince Gustavus Adolphus awaited his bride at the altar, near which were gathered King Edward, Queen Alexandra and the Crown Prince of Sweden. The brief ceremony of the Church of England was used, and, at the conclusion, the choir sang "Thank We Our God," and the bridal party entered the vestry room of the chapel, where the marriage registry was signed by the bride and groom, the King of England, the Crown Prince of Sweden, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Connaught. The train was running at a rate of about 35 miles au hour at the time, and the derailed locomotive ran along the ties, swerving from one side of the track to the other, for a distance of about 100 yards. The track for the distance mentioned was badly damaged and the roadbed was torn up for the same distance. Polander path, a short distance away where tho body was fount). It seems probable that Novak was killed by a train as he was going to his home some time early this mornin". There are some suspicions that foul play was done, hut none of the circumstances tend to prove this. Tho body was found by a Lehigh Valley employe, who was walking along the tracks. There were evidences that the man had been dead only a short time, as the body was warm when first found. William Winters,, an employe of the I'atterson mill, was iirttilied, A telephone message was sent to '.Squire Savage, the deputy coroner, and he ordered the remains removed, which was done by Undertaker Howell. The body was somewhat mangled. One of tlii! legs was cut off at the knee and the other leg was badly crushed. There was a deep gash cut In the left temple and two cuts on the cheek. The body was readily identified. Two of Novak's brothers Verified the identification.

It is his belief that the Dutch capital Is the proper point for great works of peace and that every arbitration or peace conference held there strengthens its "We are all in the dark as to what the report will recommend.

When the wheels of the locomotive dually ceased to revolve, the massive piece of machinery had toppled over on Its side. Fortunately the ground was nearly level on the side where the locomotive overturned. The engineer was on the upper side of the cab, as it lay on the ground, and after the locomotive came to a stop he climbed Dalrymple's Views.

Nelldoff, the Russian ambassador to Prance, as Russia's chief plenipotentiary has been received. Ferdinando Mercadante, the forelyner, who went Into the abandoned shaft at the old "Cork and Bottle," and took from It the head of Cullaro, sent word to this ofllee this morning that the stories published about "Black Hand" letters being received by him arc without foundation. Ho says he received no letters of any sort and no threats from secret societies. The "Black Hand" story was published in good faith by the papers, having come from an official source. ing Containing $18 on the Bank—He Entered the Water in Back of Squire Savage viewed the remains and said that hO suspected foul play because of the wounds on the head, which appeared us if they had been made with a knife. his identity positive The stocks were not sold, being bid in by the owners, who declined to allow the stock to go at prices twentylive and thirty points below recent Marshall Gave Edward a Hint, Oregon London. June 15.—Wilson Marshall of tlie New York Yacht club, owner of the yacht Atlantic, which won tlie transatlantic race for the cup presented by Emperor WbL'am. was presented by Sir Thomas I-lpton to King Edward at Windsor castle. Mr. Marshall having remarked how uiuch himself and other American yacht owners would like to coiniDete for a king's cup in English waters, the king said It always gave him the greatest pleasure to do anything for the encouragement of yachting. A man of unknown Identity was drowned shortly after 1 o'clock tills afternoon in the river at a point opposite the lower end of Oregon. The man went into the water alone. A number of small boys were about at the time, but not one of them knew who he was. There was nothing about his clothing that would give an idea of his identity. He had been dressed in a new suit of clothing and in one of the pockets were some bills and small change amounting in all to $18.75. Not a mark about the clothing gave the slightest hint as to who tlie man was. Chief Loftus was not notillcd of the drowning until after sales. Japan will refuse to have the meetlug take place in Paris because it is the capital of Russia's ally and because of its great distance from Japan and the delay Involved. It is expected that Japan will propose that the plenipotentiaries meet at some point close to the theater of war. The Japanese plenipotentiary has not yet been selected. Dr. Nowth held a post mortem and will make a report at the inquest. The most probable theory Is that Novak was struck by an engine as lie was crossing the track on the way to his boarding house. The location of the body tends to substantiate tills idea. A dollar and some small change were found on the body, as well as small trinkets. Novak worked in No. 14 colliery and had drawn $15 pay yesterday, lie was 30 years old and unmarried.

Conductor James Walker, of Alluntown, was standing in the baggage car when the accident occurred. lie escaped injury and iinmediajely went to the assistance of the fireman. The Injured man was placed on board the train, a new engine was procured, and the train was backed to Franklin Junction, from which point the injured man was transferred to Mercy hospital. A number of pliysiciaiis were hurried to the scene from the central part of tile city, but their services we're not required, as the passengers wore not injured. They received a good shaking up, however, before the locomotive ceased running. The newspapers and public continue a spirited discussion of the situation, devoting themselves largely to a probable armistice and terms of peace. The newspapers continue to be flatly opposed to an early armistice, which would deprive the army and navy of the advantages within their grasp. It Is generally thought that Field Marshal Oyama's plans are rapidly maturing and that the next great drive will sweep General Linevitch back and carry the Japanese army into Russian territory. County Detective Jones was notilled this morning of the death ,and the circumstances by Squire Savage. The following jury was empaneled: W. S. Casterline, Frank Savage, C. E.

When ho had gone out some distance he turned and swam slowly down the stream a distance of probably 100 yards, still keeping to the middle of the river. The boys were watching him and suddenly they saw him throw up his hands and sink. He arose again and again went down. He came to the surface three times and seemed to be struggling. The little fellows watched him Intently but after the third time he did not come to the surface. None of them heard him cry out or make any sound during the struggle. At first the boys did not know what to do and they spent about an hour near the clothing. Finally it was decided to notify Chief L.oftus and some of the boys h(rried to the city hall and told him of the drowning. ; The good faith and ultimate intentions of Russia toward peace are openly and generally questioned.
