They were strolling on the lower walk, near the Pittston end, when one noticed what seemed to be a man walking on the thin caked ice nearly on- a line with the.

One arrest was made in the case and the prisoner subjected to a rigid Investigation. The confession, which stated that four men were Implicated In the crime, has been partially verified. Two of the men lived in Shenandoah and the searchers have found that the names were given correctly. The men have not been seen in Shenandoah, however, for the past two years. A boy of about 10 years was caught by the police last evening throwing pieces of ice or hard snow at pedestrians and passersby on Main street. As the result of what he considered fun one woman received a cut on her  and several others were struck. The boy was taken to the lockup arid placed In a cell, where he was kept all nighi. It happened that there were no other prisoners in at the time and, as the youth was alone, ho naturally became badly frightened. When taken up for a hearing this morning he was crying and said he had seen rats running about the floor. His niKht's experience was not a pleasant One, and it is needless to say that he will refrain in the future from the mischievous practice that led to his discomfort.

The president and Mrs. Itoosevelt gave a dinner In her honor, followed by a muslcale, at which more than 100 clone friends were present. It was only the bride elect's twenty-second birthday, so there was no reason for concealing the number. Miss Roosevelt laughed merrily when Intimates pretended to condole with her about her advancing age.

New York, Feb. 13.—President John Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers of America, who arrived here on Sunday night to prepare for the conference on Thursday between the mine workers of the anthracite region and their employers, spent a busy day at the headquarters in the Ashland house arranging his programme for the meeting. The miners" president brought with him from Indianapolis a large trunk filled with documents and statistics relative to the hard coal industry in Pennsylvania, which hi; will use at the conference. He remained in his room practically all day and had no visitors of any prominence. Mr. Mitchell declined to discuss the anthracite coal situation so far as It related to the miners' union in advance of the meeting with the operators. Neither would he talk of the conditions in the west. REV.

Prior to asking for a further decision of him the congregation voted him an Increase In salary of $200 a year. Mr. Bender, seeing the strong desirff on the part of the congregation to keep him wltH them, finally determined to change his previous decision and announced, before the close of the meeting, that he would continue as pastor of St. Peter's. This announcement was received with great pleasure by the meeting. Succeed T. W. Duvlcs as General Germany is given the credit for the failure. In fact, it is believed here that Kmperor William, realizing that there is no hope of Germany's demands being indorsed by tbe powers, is now anxious that the confereace shall fail.

Mr. Mitchell was much -interested In the statement given out by District President Patrick Dolan, of Pittsburg. When first approached on the subject he declined to discuss Mr. Dolan's action, but later in the day he dictated the following statement: The woman's mind had been affected for some time and careful watch had been kept on her to prevent her from doing herself any harm. Some time during last night she got out of bed, and, partly dressing herself, stole cautiously out of a window. Her 15-year-old daughter, who slept with her. did not feel her getting out, and it was not until this morning that she was discovered to be missing. A soareh was then made for her and by her tracks In the snow she was followed to where the body was found. The woman's husband made the dls- bowling alleys, lie expressed the opinion that the rate question Is second only as an economic problem to the financial question and one of the moat important ever before congress. All were agreed, he said, us to what we us a people desire to do, but the differences arise over the method of proceeding. There has been some discussion during recent months of the question of holding a llrst class banquet In the association building, and a committee was appointed with full power to proceed with the work of planning a banquet. It Is expected to be a very line affair, the Idea being to make It a new building reception, a farewell for General Secretary Davles, a welcome to the new secretary, Mr. Parker, and an opportunity for supporters of the work to become more Intimately acquainted with the association and those who are conducting its affairs.

Albany, N. 1*., Feb. 13.—Several thousand mon began the work of harvesting the uunual supply of ice from the upper Hudson In this vicinity, the work up to this time having been delayed by the warm weather which prevailed up to about ten days ago. The ice Is of excellent quality, being from eight to ten Inches in tbickness, and all of the larger dealers are confident of housing a full crop if tbe present cold spell lasts throughout tbe week. Among those who called upon Mr. Mitchell last night were Ralph M. Easley, secretary of the National CLvic Federation, and Louis N. Hammerllng, of Wilkesbarre, Pa. Secretary Eas-* ley's visit had nothing to do with the coming conference. He called on Mr. Mitchell merely t6 talk over some of the plans for the coming annual meeting of the Civic Federation, of which the miners' leader is a member. Mr. Hammerllng will remain in New York the greater part of the week on matters pertaining to the conference. He declined to say what part he will take In the negotiations to be opened on Thursday.
