J., Jan. 15.-After spending twenty-four hours in terrible anxiety, lest they be wrecked and swept into the sea, the passengers and crew, sixty in all, of the Clyde line steamer Cherokee, bound from Santo Domingo for New York, which went aground on the Brigantlne shoals on Friday, were rescued by life savers on the sloop Alberta and lauded at the inlet here. Captain Archibald, two mates and the ship's carpenter elected to remain aboard the stranded vessel. Among the Subjects Discussed are Greater Pittsburg Legislation, Care of State Money, Reapportionment, Personal Registration and the Ripper Law. Body Was Evidently that Which Was Reported as Having Been Seen a Couple of Weeks Ago but Which Could Not be Found — No Means of Identifying the Remains. Marshall Field's Condition Critical. New York, Jan. 15.—This morning's bulletin ways Marshall Field's condition continues very critical. There has been no Improvement whatever. — The mysterious murder story which came from the Boston settlement, back of Yatesvllle, ubout ten days ago, telling of the finding of the body of a man in the woods near there, and which became even more mysterious tho next day when searchers scoured the woods but could find no trace of the supposed murdered man, has again mystified the authorities. the head, together with blood fftalns on the clothing, would Indicate that the man had been a victim of foul play. Whether or not the remains were those of an American or a foreigner, it was almost impossible to tell. The body was clad in a suit of black clothes, rather tidy, and on the hands were a pair of black woolen gloves. A box of Shinola shoe polish protruded from the vest pocket. The body and limbs were frozen and a portion of the clothing had been covered by her attendant wore very neat dresses. time a large amouht of State funds, have given the legal occasion for the calling of the Legislature together in extraordinary session ui}der Article IV, Section 12, of the Constitution. I have, beside, been unwilling that the present popular disturbances should subside wihout securing more permanent results than the substitution of one contractor for another, the removal of Incumbents from office, the overthrow of one political party or faction and the elevation of their opponents, and the suppression of one private ambition in order that another may be fostered and gratified. I have, therefore, called you together In special session and have named for your consideration Harrlsburg, Pa., Jan. 15.—Gover- Governor Pennypacker's message to the special session of the. Legislature was wad to both houses this afternoon, as follows: It Was one of the most daring rescues from shipwreck and death that has occurred along the Atlantic coast In uiauy years. There were fifty-five persons taken off. BISHOP TALBOT IN CITY RECTOR HAS RESIGNED Gentlemen—The legislation enacted at the last general session of the legislature deserves as a whole very high commendation. TJJiere was an absence of those coruscations following the exploitation of crime and scandal which appear to be so pleasing to many unthinking people, and the attention o( the legislators w»s, instead, directed toward measures looking toward the advancement of our life and to the substantial benefit of the community. Results of far reaching importance were accomplished. The National Government Is making an earnest effort to curtail the effects of the exercise of the powers wielded by the great corporations of the country. It Is far better to correct evils in their causes than it is to endeavor to escape the consequences. It is wiser to prevent the improvident grant of inordinate powers than to restrain their exercise after they have been granted. An easy modern method of enabling one man to get possession of the property which belongs to another is to authorize him to organize a corporation and then to give the corporation the right of eminent domain. It is honorable to the Commonwealth that during the last two sessions of the Legislature there has been no extension of this right, atifl at the lasf"ses8lon it was taken away from the private water companies which were rapidly seizing all of the streams of the State. This is believed to be the first pronounced conservative step taken by any one of the States in the way of curbing at the beginning and not at the end what is one of the most evil of modern tendencies. Of recent years, all over the country, and especially in the South, there has been an increase of certain forms of personal violence, and these have often been met by local outbursts of popular fury until the minds of men have grown accustomed to lynchlngs and even to burnings at the stake. One instance of death by fire caused by a mob occurred within a few miles of the borders of the State. Instead of waiting to grieve over such violations of the law, the Legislature at its last session provided means by the establishment of a mounted constabulary to prevent their occurrence. It is an experiment, the outcome of which is being watched with great interest both at home and abroad. Measures were taken for the maintenance of the health of the people, for the collection of their vital statistics, for the improvement of their highways, for the preservation of the purity of their water supplies and their foods, for the protection of their orchards, and for the amelioration of the conditions of the employment of women and children. A law was passed to call into existence a great city at the western end of the State, and another which provided for the deepening of the channel of the Delaware, and aroutfed the activities of the city of Philadelphia more immediately interested in the success of the project. The public printing was overhauled, and the issues from the press of the State Printer much reduced in volume and expense. Ethical considerations were not forgotten, and an effort was made to preserve for the future the ties of family and home by calling a convention of delegates from all of the States to endeavor to establish a uniform system of legislation throughout the country upon the subject of divorce. The suggestion has rrtet with wide and favorable, response. In fact, it may well be doubted wlmther any previous session of the legislature was more fruitful in good works or did more for the advancement of the public welfare. Since its adjournment, a wave of popular and political unrest and commotion has spread over the land and left its Impress in our own Commonwealth, as well as elsewhere. Such upheavals, to whatever causes they m&y be due, are to be regarded not as disasters, but as opportunities. It is at such times that much may be accomplished by wise legislators to enhance the public weal. The unfortunate failure of the Greater Pittsburg legislation through the finding of the Supreme Court that the act was unconstitutional, and tha failure of a bank, Incorporated and supervised 'by the National Government, holding at the Naval Ensign Walker, one of the Cherokee's passengers, said: Had a Busy Sunday in Pittston and West Pittston. Rev. H. P. Walter, of St. James' to Leave City. The dead body of an unknown man was discovered accidentally this morning in the woods near the Boston settlement, and undoubtedly it is the same body that was seen on Jan. 4th. The reported finding a short time ago and the subsequent disappearance gave rise to the belief that the story was a, myth. While the finding of the bodjt' today makes the previous report authentic, it does not in the least clear .up the mystery which surrounds the affair. The day after the finding had been reported searchers, including newspapermen and officials from this vicinity, went to the Boston settlement, but no trace of the murdered man could be found. In fact, not a single person could be located who would admit having .seen the body. At the time it was thought these people were either afraid they would become Involved in legal trouble and refused to admit the truth, or that the story was without. any foundation whatever."The last night was one of terror. Wearied to keep up courage by playing a phonograph and singing, but about 10 o'clock we gave up all hope. We expected every lunge would be her last. Every man dropped to his knees nnd muttered a prayer, and the women lay moaning on the floor. We bade goodby to one another and prepared to die."

Early In March. Four Men Seriously Hurt at Three Excellent Ad- L. A. Train of New York, one of the passengers of thfc Cherokee, suffered a total collapse and is in a precarious condition at Bates' Inlet hotel. At yesterday's services in St. James' Episcopal church, the rector,-the Rev. Harvey P. Walter, made formal annuoncement that he had tendered his resignation as rector to the vestry of the church nnd that It had been accepted. Mr. Walter resigned the rectorship of St. James' church for the purpose of going to Ponce, Porto Rico, for the purpose of becoming rector of an Episcopal church In that £lty. Some time ago there was talk of Mr. Walter having had a call to the church at Ponce, and he was desirous of talcing up what seemed to him t« be a promising work, but was prevailed upon by the officials of St. James to continue his work here for a time. Mr. Walter will close his offlclal work here with the end of the present month. His last service in St. James' will be held on Feb. 4th. As soon as his household goods are disposed of he "iid his family will spend a few weeks visiting relatives and friends, and passage is now being engaged for himself and family to sail from New York city on March 8d for Porto Rico. j (Continued on Pag-e Six. dresses. No. 14 Drift. SHORT SESSION LIKELY Hlght Reverend Ethelbert Talbot, bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of Central Pennsylvania, spent yesterday in Pittston and West Pittston, the occasion being his annual visitation for the purpose (it administering "the rito'of confirmation in the local churches under his authority. It Is reported that the Cherokee is loosening iu the beams and that about fifteen feet of water to in her Hold. Accident Occurred About 11 O'clock United States Consul Handle.v, who was on his way from Santo Domingo with a report about the revolution, declared thnt the passengers from the time she struck begged the captain to send them ashore, but the captain advised them to remain, as he saw no danger and he would soon have them in New York. He raised the question of custom laws, which he did not wish to violate. Mr. Handley nlso (lem-rllied how the passengers and crew took turns in getting warm by the little tire in the galley. Only a fe\v at a time could gather around the little stove. This Morning—Two of the In- Such is the Opinion of Legis- jured Men Were Taken to the Blshop Talbot was at Trinity church. West Side, at the morning service, which was attended by a congregation that completely filled the church. The services were of exceeding Interest, on account of the presence of the head of the diocese and also because a class of 11 young people were to be received Into membership In the church. After the rite of confirmation had been administered to each member of the class at the altar rail. Bishop ( Talbot delivered a brief address directed especially to the young people who wen-being re-4!*Dvt'd, tendering tlrt'tn good advice Intended to help them In their rellglotx life. The Bishop then delivered the sermon of the morning, taking as his text the following. words of Scripture, "But Jesus sent him away, saying, return to thine owrehouse and show how great things God hath done unto .thee." Thq text referred to the man In the Gospel record from- whom a devil had been cast. The man was desirous of remaining with Jesus, but Christ. In the wprds of the text, directed him rather to return to his own home, and there, in the spirit of prayer and earnestness, seek to do those things which his new relation to Christ had made possible. The Bishop applied the lesson of the text to the lives of presentday Christians and besought them to seek to do, not great things for Christ, buj the little yet Important things thai, lie nearest to their hands, in their own homes, in their own social circle and In the business world in which they move. The sermon was a simple yet very forceful presentation of a vital Gospel truth and made a deep impression on the large congregation that heard it. Hospital and the Others lators. to Their Homes, Pour mine workers were very seriously burned this morning about 11 o'clock in No. 14 drift, of the Pennsylvania Coal Co. They are: Michael Noone, of Port _ Griffith, very badly burned about the head, face, neck and upper body. In serious condition at the hospital. Nothing further was heard of the incident until this morning. Toni Popoli and Joseph Rose, two Italians residing at the Boston settlement, went into the woods in search of their cows. While passing near a thick clump of trees they noticed the outline of a man, and on drawing closer to the spot found it to be a dead body in a ghastly state of decomposition. The two ripen Immediately came to thU city and reported the matter to James Mass!, who Instructed Undertaker B. J. Burns to proceed to the place and bring the body to this city. Mr. Burns returned about 2 o'clock this afternoon, bringing the body with hint. It was impossible to attempt to identify the victim owing to the condition of the body. The face and head were badly decomposed, but peculiar marks under the right eye and on Special Session Began at llarrlslmrg This Afternoon—Indications are That There Will he No Week- lOml Rei-esses—Anti-Pass Ortler Will llelp Thomas Noone, brother of Michael Noone, burrued a.bout the head, face and neck. At the hospital in quite serious condition. Harrlsburg. Pa.. Jan. 15.—The extra session of the Pennsylvania Legislature, which convened this afternoon, yrgauized at)4.»tUS» adjourned* until tomorrow, wlli probably adjourn within 30 days. This Is the opinion of a majority of the Senators and Repre"serftatlves.Craw Kept at Work by PtetoU. Mr. Handley said also that the crew of the Cherokee deserted the pumps when the schooner Alberta hove in sight and refused to go back to work until o(Beers with drawn revolvers drove them back to their places. Mr. Ilandley added that the crew otherwise acted bravely. Thomas O'Brien, of Friend street. Port Griffith, burned about the head, neck, face and hands. Very painfully burned. Thomas Mangan, of Main street, Port Griffith, burned about face and hands. Burns painful but not serious. Rev. Mr. Walter has been rector of St. James* church for half a dozen years and he has done a most excellent work. The church has been built up considerably In membership and religious activity. Besides, Mr. Walter has achieved a notable piece of work in leading the movement which resulted in the sale of the old church on Water street and the erection of the present very neat new stone church in which the congregation now worships, on Charles street. He has been most energetic and faithful to his parish duties and leaves the church In a flourishing condition. Not only the members of his parish but the people of the dty generally will be sorry to learn that he is to leave this field, but express the hope and confidence that work in Porto Rico will be of profit to himself and those to whom he will minister. v Speaker Henry P. Walton, of the House, and President Cyrus E. Woods, of the Senate, both expressed themselves as strongly In favor or putting through the business of the session with as much dispatch as sinay be consistent with due consideration or the Important subjects to be considered.The accident was one of those unexplalnable happenings in mining, against n'hich the most experienced miners are unable to guard. All the Injured men were expert miners of long experience, yet none of them can explain to a certainty how a quantity of gas enough to extend into two chambers and wreak such havoc could get into their chambers wlthout„beln$ noticed. Frank Westbrook. purser of the Cherokee, said there was no truth in the statements of the passengers that the captain refused to let the passengers ashore. The ship's officers kept the passengers supplied with extra blankets and did the best* they could under the conditions. FINE RESIDENCE SOLD. President Woods said he could see no reason why all the subjects outlined In Governor Pennypacker's original and supplemental calls for the session could not be acted on within 30 days. Owners of lir.vdfn Property, on \»n- llam Street, Sell to Messrs. Glen- All the passengers seen commend Mrs. Palmer, the stewardess, for her bravery and cool manner, which Inspired others, even the men. 11011 and Kutledge. The four men occupied two chambers, adjoining. At the time of the explosion none of their laborers were In the chambers. The men themselves are unable to explain how the explosion occurred. They were all at their work when they were suddenly enveloped in a blinding sheet of flame that raged about their heads. The gas had filled the upper part of both chambers. Speaker Walton, while not venturing u prediction as to the time of adjournment, said he favbred making the session as brief as jtosslble, and would do everything In his power to expedite the business of the House. An Important real estate deal has been practically concluded and It is expected that the transfer of papers will be made tomorrow, whereby the owners of the Brydep property, corner of William and Foundry streets, have sold to T. J. Glennon and Edward Kutledge. The property consists of three lots facing on William street and extending to an alley ih the rear. They have a total frontage of 166 feet and the upper lot is improved by a house and barn and Is occupied at present by E. D. ,Caryl, superintendent for the Hillside Coal & Iron Co. This property belonged to the lato Andrew Bryden and after his death was partitioned as follows: The improved or upper lot with a frontage of 85 feet on William street to William Law. how of Bluff's Island, Easton, Md.. and the two other lots divided between Arch, and Alex. Bryden, of Dunmore. Mr. Glennon secures the upper and middle lot including the residence, and Mr. Rutledge the lower lot, which adjoins his residence property. Mr. Glennon will move Into the house in the near future. New York, Jan. 15—Four days on the deckhouse of the bark Edward L May berry, with seas almost continually breaking over the wreck and during all that time remaining with his revolver ever pointed at the mutinous crew, is part of the experience of Captain Josiah Sheppard, who arrived on the American line steamship 8t. Paul. Captaiu Sheppard and his ten men were rescued in mldsea by the steamship Stacia, taken to England and thence transferred to the American liner. Captain Sheppard lost his vessel as the result of her springing a leak in the height of a severe gale on Dec. 10. Captain Overawe* Mutineers. Representative Thomas V. Cooper, the veteran legislator from Delaware county, declared that he could not see why the nine bills outlined in the governor's proclamation could not be put through In two or three weeks after the Senate and House get down to business. Ponce, Porto Rico, the city to which Mr. Walter is going, has a population of about 44,000. In many respects it is a modern city. It has a good water system, sewerage, street cars, electric light and gas. The public schools are conducted on the American plan. There are H grades and the government -report on educatiqn tor 1004 says that all the children, from the third grade up, can speak English. The Episcopal church In Ponce, of which Mr. Walter is to be rector, iH called Holy Trinity: It is the oldest Protestant church on the Island. The church owns a plot of ground in shapo like the frustum of a pyramid, bounded on rour aides by streets. On one corner Is the church, on another the rectory, and on another a parish house Is now being erected. The Blshop, the (tight Rev. James H. Van- I3uren, D. D., is serving the congregation at present and superintending the buildlhg of the new parish house. He will continue to do so until Mr. Walter arrives. There are two American teachers connected with the church. One teaches in the parish school. ?he other assists in teaching some branches, but, being a deaconess, is principally the rector's assistant. The Bishop has lately bought a plot of Ave acres of ground. in the outskirts of the city, on which he hopes to build St. Luke's hospital. About $20,000 in cash has been collected for this purpose. It is believed that the gas was ignited by the naked lamp of Michael Noone, who was the most seriously burned. None of the mea thought there was any gas about and the most likely explanation is that they opened a pocket by a blast. At the children's service held in Trinity at 4:30 p. m.. Bishop Talbot catechised the members of the Sunday school. "The members have been given ample opportunity to carefully consider In advance of the session all the subjects that they may legally act upon," said Mr. Cooper, and it should be possible, therefore, to dispose with much of the time that is ordinarily required for the consideration of measures In committee and on the floor. I look for a short session." Bishop Talbot attended the men's meeting in Y. M. C. A. hull Sunday afternoon, an is his custom when he comes to Pittston, and delivered an excellent address to the large assemblage of men who gathered. The Bishop took as his theme "A Man in a Dream." The uddress dealt with the Scriptural story of Jacob's ladder, which reached from earth to heaven. "Workers In neighboring chambers hurried to the assistance of the injured men and they were taken to the surface, where temporary treatment was given. Michael Noone and Thomas Noone were then removed to the hospital and the other two men were takei^to their home. The two Noones live with their brother at the come? of Main and Friend streets. Although no definite programme has been mapped out, the impression l* that the Legislature will be able to clean its desks nnd adjourn finally b] Saturday, Feb. 17. or exactly 32 days after convening. American Conaul Lost at Sea. Last evening St. James' church waa packed to the doors, and the services were of a most interesting character. Bishop Talbot was the preacher and he delivered an eloquent sermon, taking as his theme the Bible lesson recording the fact of Daniel having prayed with his windows open toward Jerusalem. The Bishop emphasized the truth that the mind and heart of God's people should be open toward Heaven. A class numbering 18 were received Into the church by confirmation and si* members were received by letter. " —- Buenos Ayres, Argentina, via Galveston, Tex., Jan. 15.—The bark Octavla was wrecked off the coast of the province of Buenos Ayres between Puerto Medanos and Punta Mogotes. The American vice consul of Bahln Blanca. Mr. Daniel Meyer, was aboard the vessel. The details are unknown. Probably all are lost. This would enable the members to go home in time to participate in the municipal elections of the following Tuesday, Feb. 20. !NJ O Spoiled Her Beauty. Harriet Howard, of W. 34th street, New York, at one time had her beauty spoiled with skin trouble. 8he writes: "I had Salt Rheum or Ecsema for many years, but nothing would cure It, until I . used Bucklen's Arnica Salve."

Many members from the western and northwestern sections of the state who arrived on paid tickets announced their Intention to remain here until the final adjournment Instead of going home over Sundays, as nearly all did when the transportation was free. Annapolis, Md., Jan. 15. — Midship man Minor Meriwether, Jh, of Loulsfana, who attained much notoriety by engaging in a (1st fight with Midshipman James K. Branch, in which the latter received fatal injuries, has been placed under arrest on the charge of hazing. Midshipman Meriwether Again Arrested t=4o M'NAMARA LAUREN. © B Representatives from Pittsburg have figured out that the Pennsylvania and Pullman fares for a single trip home would cost $16. Those from the far northwest would have to lay nut $20. Most of the members, therefore, have come prepared to stay indefinitely, and they will be eager to help in* every way to bring about an early adjournment.

J., Jan. 15.-After spending twenty-four hours in terrible anxiety, lest they be wrecked and swept into the sea, the passengers and crew, sixty in all, of the Clyde line steamer Cherokee, bound from Santo Domingo for New York, which went aground on the Brigantlne shoals on Friday, were rescued by life savers on the sloop Alberta and lauded at the inlet here. Captain Archibald, two mates and the ship's carpenter elected to remain aboard the stranded vessel. Among the Subjects Discussed are Greater Pittsburg Legislation, Care of State Money, Reapportionment, Personal Registration and the Ripper Law. Body Was Evidently that Which Was Reported as Having Been Seen a Couple of Weeks Ago but Which Could Not be Found — No Means of Identifying the Remains. Marshall Field's Condition Critical. New York, Jan. 15.—This morning's bulletin ways Marshall Field's condition continues very critical. There has been no Improvement whatever. — The mysterious murder story which came from the Boston settlement, back of Yatesvllle, ubout ten days ago, telling of the finding of the body of a man in the woods near there, and which became even more mysterious tho next day when searchers scoured the woods but could find no trace of the supposed murdered man, has again mystified the authorities. the head, together with blood fftalns on the clothing, would Indicate that the man had been a victim of foul play. Whether or not the remains were those of an American or a foreigner, it was almost impossible to tell. The body was clad in a suit of black clothes, rather tidy, and on the hands were a pair of black woolen gloves. A box of Shinola shoe polish protruded from the vest pocket. The body and limbs were frozen and a portion of the clothing had been covered by her attendant wore very neat dresses. time a large amouht of State funds, have given the legal occasion for the calling of the Legislature together in extraordinary session ui}der Article IV, Section 12, of the Constitution. I have, beside, been unwilling that the present popular disturbances should subside wihout securing more permanent results than the substitution of one contractor for another, the removal of Incumbents from office, the overthrow of one political party or faction and the elevation of their opponents, and the suppression of one private ambition in order that another may be fostered and gratified. I have, therefore, called you together In special session and have named for your consideration Harrlsburg, Pa., Jan. 15.—Gover- Governor Pennypacker's message to the special session of the. Legislature was wad to both houses this afternoon, as follows: It Was one of the most daring rescues from shipwreck and death that has occurred along the Atlantic coast In uiauy years. There were fifty-five persons taken off. BISHOP TALBOT IN CITY RECTOR HAS RESIGNED Gentlemen—The legislation enacted at the last general session of the legislature deserves as a whole very high commendation. TJJiere was an absence of those coruscations following the exploitation of crime and scandal which appear to be so pleasing to many unthinking people, and the attention o( the legislators w»s, instead, directed toward measures looking toward the advancement of our life and to the substantial benefit of the community. Results of far reaching importance were accomplished. The National Government Is making an earnest effort to curtail the effects of the exercise of the powers wielded by the great corporations of the country. It Is far better to correct evils in their causes than it is to endeavor to escape the consequences. It is wiser to prevent the improvident grant of inordinate powers than to restrain their exercise after they have been granted. An easy modern method of enabling one man to get possession of the property which belongs to another is to authorize him to organize a corporation and then to give the corporation the right of eminent domain. It is honorable to the Commonwealth that during the last two sessions of the Legislature there has been no extension of this right, atifl at the lasf"ses8lon it was taken away from the private water companies which were rapidly seizing all of the streams of the State. This is believed to be the first pronounced conservative step taken by any one of the States in the way of curbing at the beginning and not at the end what is one of the most evil of modern tendencies. Of recent years, all over the country, and especially in the South, there has been an increase of certain forms of personal violence, and these have often been met by local outbursts of popular fury until the minds of men have grown accustomed to lynchlngs and even to burnings at the stake. One instance of death by fire caused by a mob occurred within a few miles of the borders of the State. Instead of waiting to grieve over such violations of the law, the Legislature at its last session provided means by the establishment of a mounted constabulary to prevent their occurrence. It is an experiment, the outcome of which is being watched with great interest both at home and abroad. Measures were taken for the maintenance of the health of the people, for the collection of their vital statistics, for the improvement of their highways, for the preservation of the purity of their water supplies and their foods, for the protection of their orchards, and for the amelioration of the conditions of the employment of women and children. A law was passed to call into existence a great city at the western end of the State, and another which provided for the deepening of the channel of the Delaware, and aroutfed the activities of the city of Philadelphia more immediately interested in the success of the project. The public printing was overhauled, and the issues from the press of the State Printer much reduced in volume and expense. Ethical considerations were not forgotten, and an effort was made to preserve for the future the ties of family and home by calling a convention of delegates from all of the States to endeavor to establish a uniform system of legislation throughout the country upon the subject of divorce. The suggestion has rrtet with wide and favorable, response. In fact, it may well be doubted wlmther any previous session of the legislature was more fruitful in good works or did more for the advancement of the public welfare. Since its adjournment, a wave of popular and political unrest and commotion has spread over the land and left its Impress in our own Commonwealth, as well as elsewhere. Such upheavals, to whatever causes they m&y be due, are to be regarded not as disasters, but as opportunities. It is at such times that much may be accomplished by wise legislators to enhance the public weal. The unfortunate failure of the Greater Pittsburg legislation through the finding of the Supreme Court that the act was unconstitutional, and tha failure of a bank, Incorporated and supervised 'by the National Government, holding at the Naval Ensign Walker, one of the Cherokee's passengers, said: Had a Busy Sunday in Pittston and West Pittston. Rev. H. P. Walter, of St. James' to Leave City. The dead body of an unknown man was discovered accidentally this morning in the woods near the Boston settlement, and undoubtedly it is the same body that was seen on Jan. 4th. The reported finding a short time ago and the subsequent disappearance gave rise to the belief that the story was a, myth. While the finding of the bodjt' today makes the previous report authentic, it does not in the least clear .up the mystery which surrounds the affair. The day after the finding had been reported searchers, including newspapermen and officials from this vicinity, went to the Boston settlement, but no trace of the murdered man could be found. In fact, not a single person could be located who would admit having .seen the body. At the time it was thought these people were either afraid they would become Involved in legal trouble and refused to admit the truth, or that the story was without. any foundation whatever."The last night was one of terror. Wearied to keep up courage by playing a phonograph and singing, but about 10 o'clock we gave up all hope. We expected every lunge would be her last. Every man dropped to his knees nnd muttered a prayer, and the women lay moaning on the floor. We bade goodby to one another and prepared to die."

At yesterday's services in St. James' Episcopal church, the rector,-the Rev. Harvey P. Walter, made formal annuoncement that he had tendered his resignation as rector to the vestry of the church nnd that It had been accepted. Mr. Walter resigned the rectorship of St. James' church for the purpose of going to Ponce, Porto Rico, for the purpose of becoming rector of an Episcopal church In that £lty. Some time ago there was talk of Mr. Walter having had a call to the church at Ponce, and he was desirous of talcing up what seemed to him t« be a promising work, but was prevailed upon by the officials of St. James to continue his work here for a time. Mr. Walter will close his offlclal work here with the end of the present month. His last service in St. James' will be held on Feb. 4th. As soon as his household goods are disposed of he "iid his family will spend a few weeks visiting relatives and friends, and passage is now being engaged for himself and family to sail from New York city on March 8d for Porto Rico. j (Continued on Pag-e Six. dresses.

SHORT SESSION LIKELY Hlght Reverend Ethelbert Talbot, bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of Central Pennsylvania, spent yesterday in Pittston and West Pittston, the occasion being his annual visitation for the purpose (it administering "the rito'of confirmation in the local churches under his authority. It Is reported that the Cherokee is loosening iu the beams and that about fifteen feet of water to in her Hold. Accident Occurred About 11 O'clock United States Consul Handle.v, who was on his way from Santo Domingo with a report about the revolution, declared thnt the passengers from the time she struck begged the captain to send them ashore, but the captain advised them to remain, as he saw no danger and he would soon have them in New York. He raised the question of custom laws, which he did not wish to violate. Mr. Handley nlso (lem-rllied how the passengers and crew took turns in getting warm by the little tire in the galley. Only a fe\v at a time could gather around the little stove. This Morning—Two of the In- Such is the Opinion of Legis- jured Men Were Taken to the Blshop Talbot was at Trinity church. West Side, at the morning service, which was attended by a congregation that completely filled the church. The services were of exceeding Interest, on account of the presence of the head of the diocese and also because a class of 11 young people were to be received Into membership In the church. After the rite of confirmation had been administered to each member of the class at the altar rail. Bishop ( Talbot delivered a brief address directed especially to the young people who wen-being re-4!*Dvt'd, tendering tlrt'tn good advice Intended to help them In their rellglotx life. The Bishop then delivered the sermon of the morning, taking as his text the following. words of Scripture, "But Jesus sent him away, saying, return to thine owrehouse and show how great things God hath done unto .thee." Thq text referred to the man In the Gospel record from- whom a devil had been cast. The man was desirous of remaining with Jesus, but Christ. In the wprds of the text, directed him rather to return to his own home, and there, in the spirit of prayer and earnestness, seek to do those things which his new relation to Christ had made possible. The Bishop applied the lesson of the text to the lives of presentday Christians and besought them to seek to do, not great things for Christ, buj the little yet Important things thai, lie nearest to their hands, in their own homes, in their own social circle and In the business world in which they move. The sermon was a simple yet very forceful presentation of a vital Gospel truth and made a deep impression on the large congregation that heard it. Hospital and the Others lators. to Their Homes, Pour mine workers were very seriously burned this morning about 11 o'clock in No. 14 drift, of the Pennsylvania Coal Co. They are: Michael Noone, of Port _ Griffith, very badly burned about the head, face, neck and upper body. In serious condition at the hospital. Nothing further was heard of the incident until this morning. Toni Popoli and Joseph Rose, two Italians residing at the Boston settlement, went into the woods in search of their cows. While passing near a thick clump of trees they noticed the outline of a man, and on drawing closer to the spot found it to be a dead body in a ghastly state of decomposition. The two ripen Immediately came to thU city and reported the matter to James Mass!, who Instructed Undertaker B. J. Burns to proceed to the place and bring the body to this city. Mr. Burns returned about 2 o'clock this afternoon, bringing the body with hint. It was impossible to attempt to identify the victim owing to the condition of the body.

Jan. 15.—The extra session of the Pennsylvania Legislature, which convened this afternoon, yrgauized at)4.»tUS» adjourned* until tomorrow, wlli probably adjourn within 30 days. This Is the opinion of a majority of the Senators and Repre"serftatlves.Craw Kept at Work by PtetoU. Mr. Handley said also that the crew of the Cherokee deserted the pumps when the schooner Alberta hove in sight and refused to go back to work until o(Beers with drawn revolvers drove them back to their places. Mr. Ilandley added that the crew otherwise acted bravely. Thomas O'Brien, of Friend street. Port Griffith, burned about the head, neck, face and hands. Very painfully burned. Thomas Mangan, of Main street, Port Griffith, burned about face and hands. Burns painful but not serious. Rev. Mr. Walter has been rector of St. James* church for half a dozen years and he has done a most excellent work. The church has been built up considerably In membership and religious activity. Besides, Mr. Walter has achieved a notable piece of work in leading the movement which resulted in the sale of the old church on Water street and the erection of the present very neat new stone church in which the congregation now worships, on Charles street. He has been most energetic and faithful to his parish duties and leaves the church In a flourishing condition. Not only the members of his parish but the people of the dty generally will be sorry to learn that he is to leave this field, but express the hope and confidence that work in Porto Rico will be of profit to himself and those to whom he will minister. v Speaker Henry P. Walton, of the House, and President Cyrus E. Woods, of the Senate, both expressed themselves as strongly In favor or putting through the business of the session with as much dispatch as sinay be consistent with due consideration or the Important subjects to be considered.The accident was one of those unexplalnable happenings in mining, against n'hich the most experienced miners are unable to guard. All the Injured men were expert miners of long experience, yet none of them can explain to a certainty how a quantity of gas enough to extend into two chambers and wreak such havoc could get into their chambers wlthout„beln$ noticed. Frank Westbrook. purser of the Cherokee, said there was no truth in the statements of the passengers that the captain refused to let the passengers ashore. The ship's officers kept the passengers supplied with extra blankets and did the best* they could under the conditions. FINE RESIDENCE SOLD. President Woods said he could see no reason why all the subjects outlined In Governor Pennypacker's original and supplemental calls for the session could not be acted on within 30 days.

The four men occupied two chambers, adjoining. At the time of the explosion none of their laborers were In the chambers. The men themselves are unable to explain how the explosion occurred. They were all at their work when they were suddenly enveloped in a blinding sheet of flame that raged about their heads. The gas had filled the upper part of both chambers. Speaker Walton, while not venturing u prediction as to the time of adjournment, said he favbred making the session as brief as jtosslble, and would do everything In his power to expedite the business of the House. An Important real estate deal has been practically concluded and It is expected that the transfer of papers will be made tomorrow, whereby the owners of the Brydep property, corner of William and Foundry streets, have sold to T. J. Glennon and Edward Kutledge. The property consists of three lots facing on William street and extending to an alley ih the rear. They have a total frontage of 166 feet and the upper lot is improved by a house and barn and Is occupied at present by E. D. ,Caryl, superintendent for the Hillside Coal & Iron Co. This property belonged to the lato Andrew Bryden and after his death was partitioned as follows: The improved or upper lot with a frontage of 85 feet on William street to William Law. how of Bluff's Island, Easton, Md.. and the two other lots divided between Arch, and Alex. Bryden, of Dunmore. Mr. Glennon secures the upper and middle lot including the residence, and Mr. Rutledge the lower lot, which adjoins his residence property. Mr. Glennon will move Into the house in the near future. New York, Jan. 15—Four days on the deckhouse of the bark Edward L May berry, with seas almost continually breaking over the wreck and during all that time remaining with his revolver ever pointed at the mutinous crew, is part of the experience of Captain Josiah Sheppard, who arrived on the American line steamship 8t. Paul. Captaiu Sheppard and his ten men were rescued in mldsea by the steamship Stacia, taken to England and thence transferred to the American liner. Captain Sheppard lost his vessel as the result of her springing a leak in the height of a severe gale on Dec. 10. Captain Overawe* Mutineers. Representative Thomas V. Cooper, the veteran legislator from Delaware county, declared that he could not see why the nine bills outlined in the governor's proclamation could not be put through In two or three weeks after the Senate and House get down to business. Ponce, Porto Rico, the city to which Mr. Walter is going, has a population of about 44,000. In many respects it is a modern city. It has a good water system, sewerage, street cars, electric light and gas. The public schools are conducted on the American plan. There are H grades and the government -report on educatiqn tor 1004 says that all the children, from the third grade up, can speak English. The Episcopal church In Ponce, of which Mr. Walter is to be rector, iH called Holy Trinity: It is the oldest Protestant church on the Island. The church owns a plot of ground in shapo like the frustum of a pyramid, bounded on rour aides by streets. On one corner Is the church, on another the rectory, and on another a parish house Is now being erected. The Blshop, the (tight Rev. James H. Van- I3uren, D. D., is serving the congregation at present and superintending the buildlhg of the new parish house. He will continue to do so until Mr. Walter arrives. There are two American teachers connected with the church. One teaches in the parish school. ?he other assists in teaching some branches, but, being a deaconess, is principally the rector's assistant. The Bishop has lately bought a plot of Ave acres of ground. in the outskirts of the city, on which he hopes to build St. Luke's hospital. About $20,000 in cash has been collected for this purpose. It is believed that the gas was ignited by the naked lamp of Michael Noone, who was the most seriously burned. None of the mea thought there was any gas about and the most likely explanation is that they opened a pocket by a blast. At the children's service held in Trinity at 4:30 p. m.. Bishop Talbot catechised the members of the Sunday school. "The members have been given ample opportunity to carefully consider In advance of the session all the subjects that they may legally act upon," said Mr. Cooper, and it should be possible, therefore, to dispose with much of the time that is ordinarily required for the consideration of measures In committee and on the floor. I look for a short session." Bishop Talbot attended the men's meeting in Y. M. C. A. hull Sunday afternoon, an is his custom when he comes to Pittston, and delivered an excellent address to the large assemblage of men who gathered. The Bishop took as his theme "A Man in a Dream." The uddress dealt with the Scriptural story of Jacob's ladder, which reached from earth to heaven. "Workers In neighboring chambers hurried to the assistance of the injured men and they were taken to the surface, where temporary treatment was given. Michael Noone and Thomas Noone were then removed to the hospital and the other two men were takei^to their home. The two Noones live with their brother at the come? of Main and Friend streets.

American Conaul Lost at Sea. Last evening St. James' church waa packed to the doors, and the services were of a most interesting character. Bishop Talbot was the preacher and he delivered an eloquent sermon, taking as his theme the Bible lesson recording the fact of Daniel having prayed with his windows open toward Jerusalem. The Bishop emphasized the truth that the mind and heart of God's people should be open toward Heaven. A class numbering 18 were received Into the church by confirmation and si* members were received by letter.
