London, July 31.—The Dnljy Telegraph's correspondent on board the Kaiser WflUolm der Grosse, on which M. Witte, the Russian pence plenipotentiary Is a passenger, sends nn Interview which he has had with Witte in which the latter said that If Russia and Japan bad agreed upon a common basis before appointing peace plenipotentiaries It would have been much better. As It was, M. Witte said, he regarded himself rather as an imperial courier sent to ascertain the terms of Japan. He was prepared to make peace, nevertheless, he added, as his powers were very complete, and he would discuss the demands based on Japan's actual military and naval successes in a buslnoss-like spirit of give and take. Atlanta. Ga., July 31.—The Southern 'Cotton association has decided to ask President Roosevelt for the removal of James L. Wilson, secretary of agriculture, on the ground that he Is incompetent and has proved it. Harvie Jordan, president of "the association, said last night: New York, July 31—During a thunderstorm of terrific Intensity which paused over New York live persons were struck by lightning anil instantly killed and eleven were seriously Injured nt the I'arkwny baths at Coney Island. At the same time one man was killed and three were prostrated at Bath Beach. New York, July 31.—Frederick E. Carlton, held in Raymond street Jail on charges of grand larceny and the suspicion that he murdered two of his many wives, is said toflay to have confessed that he is a bigamist, that he married four women; that he has traveled under several aliases and that he is a deserter from the army. -The society is determined to make a good showing at the parade. For this purpose a committee was appointed yesterday to visit each member and urge upon him to be in line the 10th. The members of the committee are as follows: First district, John Oerrity; second district, John Dougher; third district, Martin Feeney; fifth district, Martin Nully; sixth district, Joseph Foster; eleventh district, Michael Mctlgue; twelfth district, T. P. Walker; fourteenth district, W. L. Pace; fifteenth district, Martin Coyne. TO TEST SUNDAY LAW. CHURCH WILL BE MOVED In his confession Carlton said that only one of his wives is now living In New York state. He also married Mrs.. Etta Klngrey, In Gordon, Ala. He wedded the New" York woman under the name of Martinez. Wiletta S. Bird is said to be the woman he married hi New York. The police have been unable to locate her. Carlton also' _ "The charges preferred by the Southern Cotton association against officials ifr the bureau of statistics two months ago have lDeen fully sustained, and the developments In the scandal as Investigations proceed have startled and amazed the producers and business interests of the entire country. The present head official of the department of agriculture has proved a stumbling block to the investigation from Its beginning.The Intense heat attracted a great multitude to tbe shore resorts, ami late In the afternoon, when the storm blew up from the westward, the Parkway beach was thronged with bathers and spectators. When the rain descended In torrents hundreds of men, women and children sought shelter under the big bath house, which Is elevated above the sand on piles. The lightning was Incessant, and terrific thunder claps shook the bath house, to the terror of the crowd huddled together beneath It.

"Mr. Wilson ridiculed the original charge that Holmes, the assistant chief statistician, had falsified and manipulated the June report on cotton acreage or that he had given out any advance information. But this charge was clearly proved, and Holmes was discharged from the department. Mr. Wilson then objected to any further investigation and President Roosevelt took the matter Into his hands and forced a continuance of the investigation through the department of justice. Changes Will Cost About "But I cannot and will not," continued M. Wltte, "entertain demands based upon expected military successes in the future. I am conversant with the humane intentions of my imperial master, and I will do anything compatible with Russia's honor and dignity to establish that work of which I have been an unswerving advocate. My first task, however, in the new world will be to search for a basis for fruitful discussion." Arthur Frothingham and Miss A. H. Reynolds, proprietors of the Rocky Glen Amusement company, and twenty-five employes, both men and women, were arraigned before Alderman Kusson, in Scranton, this morning. They were ull charged with breaking the Sabbath by working at Rocky Glen yesterday.. The information was sworn out by A. O. Shoup, of Scranton.$(1,500—Work Will Grounded In Crowd. Weather Bureau. Carlton admitted that he has been known as Carlton, McCand'less. Cartier and Martinez. Ik- Started Soon A few minutes before tD o'clock n bolt struck the flagstaff und grounded' in the very thickest of the crowd. Nearly fifty persons were prostrated, and the rest, screaming with terror, rushed out Into the storm. Those who had remained in the water were also panic stricken and tied in all directions, not daring to enter the bath house, which appeared to be on lire. The storm area has moved to the northeast, having caused general rain through the lakes and the northeast portions of the country. The storm this morning is moving oft Into the Atlantic ocean through the New England States. It is clearing to the west accompanying the advance of the high barometer area that is over the region Of the upper lakes, where .a cooler change Is also noted. This high barometer area will move east and be accompanied by partly cloudy weather tonight and Tuesday. At a meeting of the congregation of St. Mary's church, Upper Pittston, held yesterday afternoon, it was decided to remove the present church building from the place it has occupied since its erection in 1882 to a portion of the plot of ground on North Main street acquired by the congregation within the past few years. The meeting was called and the plan presented by the pastor, Rev. John Greve. and a large majority of the men of the congregation at once signified their willingness to have the change made and before the meeting was concluded an affirmative decision was arrived at in the matter. Work of removing the church building will be commenced in the immediate future.Tetanus germs taken from the brair* of Edward Johnson, jvho died In Brooklyn on Saturday, are being injected into rabbits to show that it Is possible to cause tetanus In that way.

The hearing in the case was adjourned until next Monday morning at 9 o'clock and the defendants were each held In $100 bail for their appearance. Faroe of Proceeding*. Ambulances were summoned from nil the nearest hospitals, and on their arrival live persons were found dead and nine unconscious under tbe bath house. The bodies of all were scorched by the electric fluid. The nine injured were removed to a hospital, where It was snld that some probably would die. Mauy persons less seriously hurt were taken home by friends. A slight lire in the bath house was quickly extinguished by the rain. "Mr. Wilson promised me In a personal interview at Washington on July 15, at which time Secretary Hester of the New Orleans cotton exchange was present, that if sufficient funds were found he would undertake to gather an entirely new crop acreage report from local state and field agents up to date and let the people know the truth. We asked him particularly not to attempt ENGLAND'S ATTITUDE. The defendants will probably be fined when the hearing is held, but they will appaal to the court. Generally fair weather prevails over the interior portions of the country. The barometer pressure continues low over the Pacific coast region. 8tands With Japan No Matter What Burgess Snyder, of Moosie borough, on complaint of many people, served notice on Mr. Frothlngham and Miss Reynolds that if they did not close up the Glen on Sunday that he would have them all arrested. The Glen was opened as usual Sunday and the chief of police of Moosie was sent up and Jfrdered all the employes to appear at the borough hall this evening. NEW CHURCH BELL. the Demands. Bilious Bill was agitated. And was much debilitated. People said he had consumption. That was everyone's presumption. When he learned what was the Washington, July 31.—Japan comes to the Washington conference assured that whatever her peace terms ' they will have the sympathetic approval of Great Britain. Several suggestions from Washington to London that the cause of peace would be served by an expression to Japan from her ally favoring moderation in her demands upon Russia have not availed to change the British government in its apparently unalterable determination to stand by Japau however severe she makes her conditions of peace. J Nor has the British government seen ita way clear to render assistance to Washington In the efforts which this government is making to obtain an armistice. Advices reaching here show that London is opposed to an armistice until Japan has been satisfied that Russia's plenipotentiaries are prepared to do more than discuss means of ending the war. If Russia is ready to conclude peace and has so empowered her pUsnlpotentlarles Great Britain, it is believed, might favor an armistice, but even in such event it is said she would not be willing to offer Japan advice on the subject. As understood In Washington. Lord Lansdowne's position is that as the loyal ally of Japan Great Britain can afford to take no step or assume any attitude that would in the remotest degree redound to the advantage of Japan's enemy. Through the Enterprise of C. E. 1'rear, One lias Been Erccted in the Lake 'The change was decided on in pursuance of a policy that was started a few years ago to concentrate "the church property into one spot. . For this purpose the congregation purchased several lots, just, north of their building, Memorial hall. The removal of the church building and its re-erection near the hall will • jn'raiize the location more than it is at present. It is located well up on Chapel street and the steep hill necessary to be climbed by parlshlon'ers on the level of Main street has become considerable of a hardship. The change has been talked of for some Wlnola Church to revise the fraudulent and manipulated report Issued by the department June 2. Lightning struck at various points in the city. A store in Flushing avenue. Brooklyn, was burned, and a car In Sixth avenue. New York, was set on fire, but the occupants cscaped unhurt.

Now he is his own adviser. Swears by LITTLE EARLY RISERS Sold by T. J. Yates. One of the neatest little country churches in this vicinity is the Methodist Episcopal edifice at Lake Wlnola. Last year the building under.went extensive renovating, and, with repainting on the interior and exterior and refitting with modern seats, a decided improvement was maite as to attractiveness and comfort. The latest Improvement is the installation of a church bell, whose sweet tones pealed forth yesterday for the first time. It was placed In position last Thursday, the work being done by active members of the church. The bell Is 4G inches in diameter and weighs 1,500 pounds. It was made in Cin'clnriati and its composition of steel and tin gives forth a sweet and mellow tone that can be heard distinctly not only around the remote recesses of the lake, but at Mill City as well, a mile and a half away. The formal presentation of the bell was made at the service last evening, when the following letter was read by Rev. (5. Gorissc, pastor: Upon receiving this notification it was decided to test the law. Mr. Shoup, a member of the company, had warrants issued bfore AJflor'rmu Kas- Bon, and the case will be tried in the regulur order. "There is no question asrto the funds being on hand with which to do this work, yet the secretary, with but two days' tabulation of the old false report documents, gave out a revised acreage report, making a perfect farce of the whole proceedings and arousing thereby Intense indignation throughout the whole country. We shall ask Mr. Roosevelt to remove Wilson." Announcement. Subscription lists, . and prospectus of the "Malftrlna Remedy Co." can be seen at the office of W. I. Hibbs, Miners' Bank Bldg., and store of O. F. Van Tuyle, corner Mill and Main street. The lists will close on or about the 25th of July. The stock Is a very desirable investment and will pay a good dividend from the start. (The business has paid to the present owner 6 per cent, on the now capltalizntlon the past year.) We invite careful investors to call and Investigate. J8tf OVATION FOR TAFT. At Kioto the Band Played "Auld Lang Reservoirs Burst In Connecticut. Syne" as Party Left. time Bridgeport, Conn., July ill.—I in mcuse damage to property followed the bursting of reservoirs north of tills city as a result of the unprecedented fall of rain early Sunday morning. The precipitation In the series of showers which struck across Connecticut reached a total of seven inches in this section, a downfall which overtaxed the city sewers and caused the flooding of cellars of buibicss buildings in downtown streets. Kobe, Japan, July 81.—Secretary of War Toft and his party received a great welcome at Kioto. Some of the members of the party attended church in the morning, while others visited the temples. When the party left at 8 o'clock in the afternoon on a special train for Kobe there was another remarkable demonstration. At the sta tiou a great crowd awalfM Secretary Taft and Miss Roosevelt and began cheering when their carriage arrived, the ovation continuing until the train started. 3?lie baud played the national anthem/'aud "AuUl Lang Syne" as the train pulled away from the station. According to the plans presented by Father Greve, the building will be taken down in sections and transferred to the new location. It will be rebuilt and It will be enclosed 111 a brick wall, which will make It. to all appearances, a brick building. The church will be somewhat enlarged, both in length and width, giving it a considerable increase in seating capacity. It is expected that the entire cost of the change will approximate $6,500. WILL NOT RESIGN. The President and Secretary Wilson Are Working Against Grafters. Oyster Bay, N. Y., July 31.—Secretary \Vllson of the department of iigriculture Is at Sagamore Hill to discuss tlie situation in his department as it relates to the investigations now in progress. All rumors of the Intention of the secretary to resign from the cabinet can be put aside as conjectural. The secretary has no present Intention of leaving the cabinet, and the president knows of no reason why lie should resign. The president, it may be said, reposes implicit confidence in him and is thoroughly satislied that he will solve satisfactorily the problems presented.The meeting of the subscribers to the Malarlna Remedy Company, for the purpose of organization will be held at the company's laboratory (the old West Plttston Cut Glass works, on Stark Alley), in West Pittstort, on Wednesday, Auk. 2nd, at 8 p. m. The subscription lists will close at aforesaid ■ meeting1. Persons desiring to subscribe to this desirable stock will please attend this meeting. Prospectus mailed or delivered on request. G. J. Painter, 125 N. Main street. 25J6 It is not intended to make the rejuvenated place of worship the permanent church building of the congregation. As soon as the congregation can afford it, a new church will be built and then the old one will be used as a convent. As soon as the contract for the new building is given out the work will be started. While the change is being made a portion of Memorial hall will be used as a church. $50,000 Damage by Cloudburst. "To the pastor and members of Lake Winola M. E. church:—I desire to present to you, on behalf of the cottagers of Lake WInola and others, one of the famous Blymer bells. A list of contributors towards the bell and the amounts will be presented to you later on; which I would respectfully ask be entered upon the minutes of your secretary's book. A strict account of all moneys collected or that may be collected will be rendered to your trustees. I would say that the reason I have taken hold of this matter is because I have seen the need of the church having a bell to announce to the strangers who come to our midst during the summer months that there would be service In the Lake Winola chapel at such an hour. You will please give the cottage people and others who have contributed so generously, due credit. Yours Respectfully, C. E. Frear." Tltusvlllc, Pa., July 31.—A cloudburst north of here caused Church run to overflow its hanks, flooding business houses and manufacturing plants in this city. The damage Is estimated at $50,000. On arriving here the party were the recipients of an enthusiastic welcome from the governor and the mayor and city officials and from the assembled thousands. Amid a display of day lireworks the party proceeded to the watei front, where a . short reception was held. Secretary Taft and Miss Roosevelt were given a number of presents. Don't Miss the Great Clearance Sale now in progress at the Boston Shoo Store, 79 N. Main street. Russian Force Annihilated, Tokyo, July 31.—Dispatches received from the headquarters of the Imperial army indicate that one Itusslan force was annihilated on the island of Sakhalin on last Thursday, that another infantry force, 800 strong, lost more than 200 killed, the remainder being captured, and that a third force of 3,000 infantry has been dispersed with the loss of its guns and ammunition. The remnants of the Itusslan troops are in an unfavorable position and will be compelled to surrender. m It is the determination of both the president and Secretary Wilson, It Is said, to clear the department of every form of "grafter." To that end every bureau in the department is to bo probed carefully. Quietly but effectively Secretary Wilson, it Is reported, has been working on that line. Some good Investments in Real Estate. G.

It Is' understood that a special service will be held next Sunday, when the bell will be formally dedicated. While considerable of the credit for the presentation is due the very liberal contributors, many of whom are Plttston and West Plttston people, a great measure is due to C. E. Frear, proprietor of the Winola house, who took the task in hand the latter part of June and made a personal canvass of the cottagers and guests. Mr. Frear met with a liberal response, the contributions ranging in amounts from $1 to $15. Not only did he circulate the subscription list, but gave the matter his personal attention, even to the placing of the bell in the church tower. That his efforts had unbounded success is gratifying not only to himself but to the pastor and congregation and Is "duly appreciated by the residents and sojourners of the community.

London, July 31.—The Dnljy Telegraph's correspondent on board the Kaiser WflUolm der Grosse, on which M. Witte, the Russian pence plenipotentiary Is a passenger, sends nn Interview which he has had with Witte in which the latter said that If Russia and Japan bad agreed upon a common basis before appointing peace plenipotentiaries It would have been much better. As It was, M. Witte said, he regarded himself rather as an imperial courier sent to ascertain the terms of Japan. He was prepared to make peace, nevertheless, he added, as his powers were very complete, and he would discuss the demands based on Japan's actual military and naval successes in a buslnoss-like spirit of give and take. Atlanta. Ga., July 31.—The Southern 'Cotton association has decided to ask President Roosevelt for the removal of James L. Wilson, secretary of agriculture, on the ground that he Is incompetent and has proved it. Harvie Jordan, president of "the association, said last night: New York, July 31—During a thunderstorm of terrific Intensity which paused over New York live persons were struck by lightning anil instantly killed and eleven were seriously Injured nt the I'arkwny baths at Coney Island. At the same time one man was killed and three were prostrated at Bath Beach. New York, July 31.—Frederick E. Carlton, held in Raymond street Jail on charges of grand larceny and the suspicion that he murdered two of his many wives, is said toflay to have confessed that he is a bigamist, that he married four women; that he has traveled under several aliases and that he is a deserter from the army. -The society is determined to make a good showing at the parade. For this purpose a committee was appointed yesterday to visit each member and urge upon him to be in line the 10th. The members of the committee are as follows: First district, John Oerrity; second district, John Dougher; third district, Martin Feeney; fifth district, Martin Nully; sixth district, Joseph Foster; eleventh district, Michael Mctlgue; twelfth district, T. P. Walker; fourteenth district, W. L. Pace; fifteenth district, Martin Coyne. TO TEST SUNDAY LAW. CHURCH WILL BE MOVED In his confession Carlton said that only one of his wives is now living In New York state. He also married Mrs.. Etta Klngrey, In Gordon, Ala. He wedded the New" York woman under the name of Martinez. Wiletta S. Bird is said to be the woman he married hi New York. The police have been unable to locate her. Carlton also' _ "The charges preferred by the Southern Cotton association against officials ifr the bureau of statistics two months ago have lDeen fully sustained, and the developments In the scandal as Investigations proceed have startled and amazed the producers and business interests of the entire country. The present head official of the department of agriculture has proved a stumbling block to the investigation from Its beginning.The Intense heat attracted a great multitude to tbe shore resorts, ami late In the afternoon, when the storm blew up from the westward, the Parkway beach was thronged with bathers and spectators. When the rain descended In torrents hundreds of men, women and children sought shelter under the big bath house, which Is elevated above the sand on piles. The lightning was Incessant, and terrific thunder claps shook the bath house, to the terror of the crowd huddled together beneath It.

"Mr. Wilson ridiculed the original charge that Holmes, the assistant chief statistician, had falsified and manipulated the June report on cotton acreage or that he had given out any advance information. But this charge was clearly proved, and Holmes was discharged from the department. Mr. Wilson then objected to any further investigation and President Roosevelt took the matter Into his hands and forced a continuance of the investigation through the department of justice. Changes Will Cost About "But I cannot and will not," continued M. Wltte, "entertain demands based upon expected military successes in the future. I am conversant with the humane intentions of my imperial master, and I will do anything compatible with Russia's honor and dignity to establish that work of which I have been an unswerving advocate. My first task, however, in the new world will be to search for a basis for fruitful discussion." Arthur Frothingham and Miss A. H. Reynolds, proprietors of the Rocky Glen Amusement company, and twenty-five employes, both men and women, were arraigned before Alderman Kusson, in Scranton, this morning. They were ull charged with breaking the Sabbath by working at Rocky Glen yesterday.. The information was sworn out by A. O. Shoup, of Scranton.$(1,500—Work Will Grounded In Crowd. Weather Bureau.

Ik- Started Soon A few minutes before tD o'clock n bolt struck the flagstaff und grounded' in the very thickest of the crowd. Nearly fifty persons were prostrated, and the rest, screaming with terror, rushed out Into the storm. Those who had remained in the water were also panic stricken and tied in all directions, not daring to enter the bath house, which appeared to be on lire. The storm area has moved to the northeast, having caused general rain through the lakes and the northeast portions of the country. The storm this morning is moving oft Into the Atlantic ocean through the New England States. It is clearing to the west accompanying the advance of the high barometer area that is over the region Of the upper lakes, where .a cooler change Is also noted. This high barometer area will move east and be accompanied by partly cloudy weather tonight and Tuesday. At a meeting of the congregation of St. Mary's church, Upper Pittston, held yesterday afternoon, it was decided to remove the present church building from the place it has occupied since its erection in 1882 to a portion of the plot of ground on North Main street acquired by the congregation within the past few years. The meeting was called and the plan presented by the pastor, Rev. John Greve. and a large majority of the men of the congregation at once signified their willingness to have the change made and before the meeting was concluded an affirmative decision was arrived at in the matter. Work of removing the church building will be commenced in the immediate future.Tetanus germs taken from the brair* of Edward Johnson, jvho died In Brooklyn on Saturday, are being injected into rabbits to show that it Is possible to cause tetanus In that way.

The hearing in the case was adjourned until next Monday morning at 9 o'clock and the defendants were each held In $100 bail for their appearance. Faroe of Proceeding*. Ambulances were summoned from nil the nearest hospitals, and on their arrival live persons were found dead and nine unconscious under tbe bath house. The bodies of all were scorched by the electric fluid. The nine injured were removed to a hospital, where It was snld that some probably would die. Mauy persons less seriously hurt were taken home by friends. A slight lire in the bath house was quickly extinguished by the rain. "Mr. Wilson promised me In a personal interview at Washington on July 15, at which time Secretary Hester of the New Orleans cotton exchange was present, that if sufficient funds were found he would undertake to gather an entirely new crop acreage report from local state and field agents up to date and let the people know the truth. We asked him particularly not to attempt ENGLAND'S ATTITUDE. The defendants will probably be fined when the hearing is held, but they will appaal to the court. Generally fair weather prevails over the interior portions of the country. The barometer pressure continues low over the Pacific coast region. 8tands With Japan No Matter What Burgess Snyder, of Moosie borough, on complaint of many people, served notice on Mr. Frothlngham and Miss Reynolds that if they did not close up the Glen on Sunday that he would have them all arrested. The Glen was opened as usual Sunday and the chief of police of Moosie was sent up and Jfrdered all the employes to appear at the borough hall this evening. NEW CHURCH BELL. the Demands. Bilious Bill was agitated. And was much debilitated. People said he had consumption. That was everyone's presumption. When he learned what was the Washington, July 31.—Japan comes to the Washington conference assured that whatever her peace terms ' they will have the sympathetic approval of Great Britain. Several suggestions from Washington to London that the cause of peace would be served by an expression to Japan from her ally favoring moderation in her demands upon Russia have not availed to change the British government in its apparently unalterable determination to stand by Japau however severe she makes her conditions of peace. J Nor has the British government seen ita way clear to render assistance to Washington In the efforts which this government is making to obtain an armistice. Advices reaching here show that London is opposed to an armistice until Japan has been satisfied that Russia's plenipotentiaries are prepared to do more than discuss means of ending the war. If Russia is ready to conclude peace and has so empowered her pUsnlpotentlarles Great Britain, it is believed, might favor an armistice, but even in such event it is said she would not be willing to offer Japan advice on the subject. As understood In Washington. Lord Lansdowne's position is that as the loyal ally of Japan Great Britain can afford to take no step or assume any attitude that would in the remotest degree redound to the advantage of Japan's enemy. Through the Enterprise of C. E. 1'rear, One lias Been Erccted in the Lake 'The change was decided on in pursuance of a policy that was started a few years ago to concentrate "the church property into one spot. . For this purpose the congregation purchased several lots, just, north of their building, Memorial hall. The removal of the church building and its re-erection near the hall will • jn'raiize the location more than it is at present. It is located well up on Chapel street and the steep hill necessary to be climbed by parlshlon'ers on the level of Main street has become considerable of a hardship. The change has been talked of for some Wlnola Church to revise the fraudulent and manipulated report Issued by the department June 2. Lightning struck at various points in the city. A store in Flushing avenue. Brooklyn, was burned, and a car In Sixth avenue. New York, was set on fire, but the occupants cscaped unhurt.

Now he is his own adviser. Swears by LITTLE EARLY RISERS Sold by T. J. Yates. One of the neatest little country churches in this vicinity is the Methodist Episcopal edifice at Lake Wlnola. Last year the building under.went extensive renovating, and, with repainting on the interior and exterior and refitting with modern seats, a decided improvement was maite as to attractiveness and comfort. The latest Improvement is the installation of a church bell, whose sweet tones pealed forth yesterday for the first time. It was placed In position last Thursday, the work being done by active members of the church. The bell Is 4G inches in diameter and weighs 1,500 pounds. It was made in Cin'clnriati and its composition of steel and tin gives forth a sweet and mellow tone that can be heard distinctly not only around the remote recesses of the lake, but at Mill City as well, a mile and a half away. The formal presentation of the bell was made at the service last evening, when the following letter was read by Rev. (5. Gorissc, pastor: Upon receiving this notification it was decided to test the law. Mr. Shoup, a member of the company, had warrants issued bfore AJflor'rmu Kas- Bon, and the case will be tried in the regulur order. "There is no question asrto the funds being on hand with which to do this work, yet the secretary, with but two days' tabulation of the old false report documents, gave out a revised acreage report, making a perfect farce of the whole proceedings and arousing thereby Intense indignation throughout the whole country. We shall ask Mr. Roosevelt to remove Wilson." Announcement. Subscription lists, . and prospectus of the "Malftrlna Remedy Co." can be seen at the office of W. I. Hibbs, Miners' Bank Bldg., and store of O. F. Van Tuyle, corner Mill and Main street. The lists will close on or about the 25th of July. The stock Is a very desirable investment and will pay a good dividend from the start. (The business has paid to the present owner 6 per cent, on the now capltalizntlon the past year.) We invite careful investors to call and Investigate. J8tf OVATION FOR TAFT. At Kioto the Band Played "Auld Lang Reservoirs Burst In Connecticut. Syne" as Party Left. time Bridgeport, Conn., July ill.—I in mcuse damage to property followed the bursting of reservoirs north of tills city as a result of the unprecedented fall of rain early Sunday morning. The precipitation In the series of showers which struck across Connecticut reached a total of seven inches in this section, a downfall which overtaxed the city sewers and caused the flooding of cellars of buibicss buildings in downtown streets. Kobe, Japan, July 81.—Secretary of War Toft and his party received a great welcome at Kioto. Some of the members of the party attended church in the morning, while others visited the temples. When the party left at 8 o'clock in the afternoon on a special train for Kobe there was another remarkable demonstration. At the sta tiou a great crowd awalfM Secretary Taft and Miss Roosevelt and began cheering when their carriage arrived, the ovation continuing until the train started. 3?lie baud played the national anthem/'aud "AuUl Lang Syne" as the train pulled away from the station. According to the plans presented by Father Greve, the building will be taken down in sections and transferred to the new location. It will be rebuilt and It will be enclosed 111 a brick wall, which will make It. to all appearances, a brick building. The church will be somewhat enlarged, both in length and width, giving it a considerable increase in seating capacity. It is expected that the entire cost of the change will approximate $6,500. WILL NOT RESIGN. The President and Secretary Wilson Are Working Against Grafters. Oyster Bay, N. Y., July 31.—Secretary \Vllson of the department of iigriculture Is at Sagamore Hill to discuss tlie situation in his department as it relates to the investigations now in progress. All rumors of the Intention of the secretary to resign from the cabinet can be put aside as conjectural. The secretary has no present Intention of leaving the cabinet, and the president knows of no reason why lie should resign. The president, it may be said, reposes implicit confidence in him and is thoroughly satislied that he will solve satisfactorily the problems presented.The meeting of the subscribers to the Malarlna Remedy Company, for the purpose of organization will be held at the company's laboratory (the old West Plttston Cut Glass works, on Stark Alley), in West Pittstort, on Wednesday, Auk. 2nd, at 8 p. m. The subscription lists will close at aforesaid ■ meeting1. Persons desiring to subscribe to this desirable stock will please attend this meeting. Prospectus mailed or delivered on request. G. J. Painter, 125 N. Main street. 25J6 It is not intended to make the rejuvenated place of worship the permanent church building of the congregation. As soon as the congregation can afford it, a new church will be built and then the old one will be used as a convent. As soon as the contract for the new building is given out the work will be started. While the change is being made a portion of Memorial hall will be used as a church. $50,000 Damage by Cloudburst. "To the pastor and members of Lake Winola M. E. church:—I desire to present to you, on behalf of the cottagers of Lake WInola and others, one of the famous Blymer bells. A list of contributors towards the bell and the amounts will be presented to you later on; which I would respectfully ask be entered upon the minutes of your secretary's book. A strict account of all moneys collected or that may be collected will be rendered to your trustees. I would say that the reason I have taken hold of this matter is because I have seen the need of the church having a bell to announce to the strangers who come to our midst during the summer months that there would be service In the Lake Winola chapel at such an hour. You will please give the cottage people and others who have contributed so generously, due credit. Yours Respectfully, C. E. Frear." Tltusvlllc, Pa., July 31.—A cloudburst north of here caused Church run to overflow its hanks, flooding business houses and manufacturing plants in this city. The damage Is estimated at $50,000. On arriving here the party were the recipients of an enthusiastic welcome from the governor and the mayor and city officials and from the assembled thousands. Amid a display of day lireworks the party proceeded to the watei front, where a . short reception was held. Secretary Taft and Miss Roosevelt were given a number of presents.

Russian Force Annihilated, Tokyo, July 31.—Dispatches received from the headquarters of the Imperial army indicate that one Itusslan force was annihilated on the island of Sakhalin on last Thursday, that another infantry force, 800 strong, lost more than 200 killed, the remainder being captured, and that a third force of 3,000 infantry has been dispersed with the loss of its guns and ammunition. The remnants of the Itusslan troops are in an unfavorable position and will be compelled to surrender. m It is the determination of both the president and Secretary Wilson, It Is said, to clear the department of every form of "grafter." To that end every bureau in the department is to bo probed carefully. Quietly but effectively Secretary Wilson, it Is reported, has been working on that line. Some good Investments in Real Estate. G.

While considerable of the credit for the presentation is due the very liberal contributors, many of whom are Plttston and West Plttston people, a great measure is due to C. E. Frear, proprietor of the Winola house, who took the task in hand the latter part of June and made a personal canvass of the cottagers and guests. Mr. Frear met with a liberal response, the contributions ranging in amounts from $1 to $15. Not only did he circulate the subscription list, but gave the matter his personal attention, even to the placing of the bell in the church tower. That his efforts had unbounded success is gratifying not only to himself but to the pastor and congregation and Is "duly appreciated by the residents and sojourners of the community.
