Washington, Nov. 3.—Formal welcome to the nation's capital was extended this morning to Prince Louis, of I»,ittenberg, and the officers of his squadron by a delegation of high ranking officers of the army and na\-y of the United States. The prince and his entourage arrived on a special Baltimore and Ohio train from Annapolis shortly before today, accompanied by Rear Admiral Evans, his official escort. At the station to meAt the distinguished guest was also Sir Mortimer Durand, the British ambassador. Immediately after the exchange of greetings, the prince and his staff were driven to the British emb|issy for luncheon. St. Petersburg, Nov. 3.—The eouucil of the workmen's delegates at midnight issued a notice pointiug out the necessity of arming workers for a decisive struggle for the convocation of a constituent assembly bas«l on universal suffrage with a view to the formation of a democratic republic. New York, Nov. 3.—Through the arrest of the two men charged with carrying the hacked and mutilated parts of the body of Susan Geary through the streets of Boston and throwing them into the harbor and one of whom confessed the police of New York last night cleared up the mystery which surrounded the Boston "suit case" crime after the arrest of Morris Nathan in Pittsburg. D Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 3.—-Representative Methodists from all over tlio world. Including our insular possessions, assembled In the Arch utreet M. E. church yesterday for a three days' session of the Board of Church Extension. Last year that body asked from the church In general $339,200, but it was stated that but a little over one-third of that amount was actually received. ' The council decided to suspend the political strike, but on the condition that it be resumed if their demands were not granted. The council decided also that only those newspapers may appear whose editors will entirely ignore the censorship. Compositors have refused to work except under this condition, and newspapers not complying with it will be eonflscated, their presses destroyed and their workmen boycotted.District ministers came in for criticism for their failure to insist on their congregations thtir full quota. William Howard, alias William Hunt, after being put through the third degree last night, confessed bis part in the disposal of the head, body and limbs of the girl and implicated Louis Crawford, alias Albert Emery, who also was arrested. Crawford re fused to make any statement concern ing the crime. MINE ON MAIN STREET. Dr. Robert Forbes, assistant corresponding secretary of the board, raised a storm by asking for $500,000 for the ensuing year. Finally, after a great deal of argument it was pared down to $340,000,' at the suggestion of the secretary. Dr. Jones M. King. A special contribution for the establishment of churches in the colleger of towns of Berkley, Cal.; Princeton. N. J.; Oberlln, O., and State College, Pa., was granted. This afternoon his highness and the officers who accompanied him to America were received by the president at the White House, the Introductions being made by the British ambassador. A notable feature of this function was the presentation by the prince of fi personal letter to the president from King Edward. Although the contents of the letter are not known, it is surmised that, besides conveying general expressions of good will, tlie communication records tlio gratification felt by his majesty over the happy termination of the Rtuwo-Japanetrr war as a result of President Roosevelt's efforts. JAMES TANNER, COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE G. A. R. Workings in Operation Near Public Highway. "Corporal" James Tanner, who was recently made commander In chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, lost both legs at the second battle of Bull Run. Despite his crippled condition and the fact that he is sixty-one years of age, the "corporal" Is one of the most energetic veterans in the G. A. R. He has been a member of the order since 1867 and has done much to relieve the distress of his crippled comrades. The Railway Men's union, however, has decided to continue the • strike mainly through a desire to prevent the transportation . of troops to Finland. The Union of Unions has resolved to demand complete amnesty for political prisoners, the immediate withdrawal of troops from St. Petersburg and their replacement by militia drawn from the people. i Crawford is a son-in-law of "Dr." lane Bishop, iu whose place at 178 Tremont street, Boston, Susan Geary is believed to have met her death and where, It Is thought by the police, her body was hacked into pieces which could be packed Into the suit cases believed to have been furnished by Crawford.Tlie Intricate Business of Mining Done on the Surface—Considerable Coal During thu .vear aid was extended to 365 churches, making a total of $14,279 since the board was organized. The conference collections showed an Increase of $13,102.37, making a net Increase from all sources of $56,167.63. At the close of the afternoon session, applications for aid had been heard from nearly 50 conferences. An especially strong plea was made for the Hawaiian work.

The sight of a mine in operation on the surface with its interior extremity In plain'view of passersby on North Main street is a novelty that may now be seen. The working, which is In full operation daily, la on the C. H. Davis property, on the lower side of the Ravine Lehigh Valley crossing. Up to a few week* ago- this piece of land was apparently a worthless mass of rock, useless for business purposes and good only for Its yielding of building stone. It is n«jw a full fledged mine working, yielding sometimes as much an 16 tons of coal a day. The vein of coal being worked was exposed by a chance blast for building stone. ; The prince will remain In Washington over Sunday. During his visit here he will be elaborately entertained by both this government and by his own through the medium of the British ambassador. There will be a dinner at the embassy tonight, followed by a general reception and dance. Tomorrow's programme Includes a drive (about the city, luncheon at the New Willard by Lieutenant General Chaffee, a visit to Fort Meyer, where a special cavalry drill will be held, and In the evening a dinner at the White House, when the prince will have the opportunity of meeting all of the high officials of the government. Proceedings of the workmen's council daily appear in a secretly printed newspaper, which today contains an article saying: To Leave Lehigh Valley Ser- l*n*t Kveiling. Howard, who is thirty-six years old and who says he ia au engineer, was arrested at Third avenue and Fourteenth street yesterday afternoon, within a few doors of the house in which he was staying at 304 East Fourteenth street. Crawford was arrested a little later at Thirty-third street and Broadway. Both arrests were made by Acting Captain Jolin McCauley and Detectives Devey and O'Neill, whose work on this case baa been marked by cleverness and skill of the highest order. Chargcd with larceny, misrepresentation and defrauding, John Wallace; an Insurance agent, was given a hearing before Alderman Doyle last evening. After the hearing, the alderman gave the defendant a chance to And ball in the sum of 11,000. The latter left upon the quest of a bondsman and had not reported to the alderman up to noon today. vice December 1.

Riley, or the Anti-Saloon League forces of this county, created more than a little consternation among saloon men when he announced today that he would move to have many licenses in the county revoked for Illegal selling. He will promulgate this moC/e tomorrow, when ho will go jnto court and petition for the revocation of the following licenses: H. A. Emanski, Michael Cotteres, Andrew Kureky and John Lock, of Plttstou township, and Patrick Joyce, of this city. These actions will be followed tip by similar ones directed against other saloon keepers, who have been arrested for violation of the liquor law. The Ave dealers mentioned were arrested some time ago. London, liar, flu—The Standard's cor respondent At Odessa says: "Within three hours of the declaration of martial law, which came to the unspeakable relief of peaceable citizens, no fewer than 5,(KM) ruffianly loyalists had been disarmed by the students and the military. The method of getting the coal loose Is the usual one. Six or eight blasts a day are flred, and the coal Is then taken out In a barrow and loaded In lump on wagons. Enoch Evans and William Klrby. practical miners, are engaged In the work, which Is done in daylight and without the dangers of bCv=. Mr. Wilcox has definitely decided on an occupation outside the railroad business. As soon as practicable after he is relieved of his charge he will move his family to Waverly, N. Y., where he will embark In the butcher business In partnership with his brother, W. W. Wilcox, a prosperous merchant. The latter has been anxious to have ills brother become a partner for some time past, owing to his extensive business. Mr. Wilcox will take a short vacation, probably of a few weeks, before entering upon his new business, and will be in the work harness again by the first of the year. Pardef & Co., Hazleton Coal Operators, Threw Head From Ferryboat. and Tlielr Employes Make an He told iu detail every move made in taking the parts of the body from the house and has cleared up one of the most baffling points In the mystery by telling that the head was carried from the house in a small brown satchel, loaded with heavy iron weights and was thrown into the harbor from a ferryboat while crossing from East Boston to Boston. Agreement, A death benefit plan has been arranged between A. Pardee & Co., the Hazleton coal operators, and their employes and hereafter the widow or relatives of an employe killed at that colliery or dying from an accident, will be paid a certain sum of montf|r. The company will donate J50 and $4 will be retained from each miner and 50 cents from each company laborer, which will include all classes of labor otherwise than contract miners. It is estimated that the sum in the aggregate will amount to $500. "How some 50,000 artisan rowdies became possessed of revolvers and au abundance of cartridges is another question requiring solution. The rigorous curfew law Is welcomed as a deliverance from the terrors of the last two days. Auy one In the titreets after nightfall is liable to arrest, and any one appearing at opeu windows or on bnlconles risks being shot without warning. In the near future another heading will be driven for the purpose of reaching a lower vein of coal. This will give work to a number of addN tlonal men. The new mine Is a novelty, being run without an ounce of steam and practically in daylight. The space in front of the opening is so small that only about two tons of coal can be stored in It and yet there is never any congestion. The Interior presents about the same appearance as the inside of the ordinary mine, with props and pillars to support the top rock. He Identified Crawford as the man who talked to Howard, the cabman, ou the way to the Chelsea ferry and of whom a good description was given to the police by the cabman several weeks ago. The connection of Mr. Wilcox with the Lehigh Valley dates from Jan. 1, 1883, when ho came here and assumed the position of assistant station agent under R. G. McDowell, now division freight agent for the Valley, at Wiikesbarre. He remained at this work until Sept. 1, 1889, when the promotion of Mr. McDowell to be agent at Wllkesbarro "opened the way to the agency to Mr. Wilcox, who retained it from that time on and did much to augment the business to Its present proportions. The alderman held the defendant in J500 ball in each case lor his appearance at court. Wallace asked to be allowed to telephone for a bondsman and was permitted to do so, but failed to return to the office. Warrants have been issued before Squire Dymond, of Westmoor, for the arrest of seven more dealers, charged wfth violations of the law. In some cases the warrants have not yet been served and a time for the hearing; has not yet been fixed. Those again#t whom warrants were issued are the following: Joseph Buliavlch, of Duryea; Fred Lanmesser, of Hazle township; Lewis Meiss, of Hazleton; Albert Rygigl, of Wyoming; Michael B. Buoock, Steve Kurachosky and Lu,d-wig Kwiakosky, of Nanticoko. A telegram was received from Boston stating.that Captain Watt of the Boston police had started for New York with Howard and the pawnbrokers from whom the suit cases were purchased. It is believed that their identification of Crawford will be easy, as the police have found in u house In which he stopped when he first caine to New York the gray suit and long coat which have figured in all the descriptions of the man who bought the suit cases and who wns seen carrying ibem to the Chelsea ferry with auother man. The coat and suit had been left in the house when Crawford moved away several weeks ago. "The Litth Shop For Little Folks."
