Roger the 73-year-old Scranton miner, who was missing from home, was found yesterday afternoon by a searching party in the Diamond mine, of the Lackawanna Co. Notwithstanding his advanced age and the trying ordeal through which he had passed, he did not seem to have suffered much. The food that he had taken with him into the mine was all gone when he was ish City. "For ways that arc dark and tricks that are vain, the heathen Chinee is peculiar," was said once of the western Chinaman, but the same seems to be true of at least one of the eastern Celestials and one who lives somewhere in this vicinity. Yesterday, Soo Sing,'the South Main street Chinaman, who was victimized by highway robbers a few nights ago, was approached by this bad Chinaman. The latter had evidently heard of the Italian "Black Hand" operations and decided to emulate them. It is thought that he picked on Soo Sing because of the supposition that the latter is overburdened with good American coin, an impeachment that Soo denies most emphatically. as Burglars.

Galavitch went after the ball, crawling through a window. The space was small and he lost his hold, pitching headforemost to the cellar floor. His companions raised an alarm, and he was quickly taken out into the air. He was unconscious and was removed to his where a physician is attending him.

Aug. 9.—Lodz is the next city In which a massacre of Jews may be expected. The date appointed is the end of August, and unless intervention comes from St. Petersburg Blalystok is likely to be outdone In horror. Washington, Aug. 9.—It is not probable that the government will take any further action In regard to the killing of Ave, Japanese sailors who were shot while poaching seals on St. Paul island, Alaska. The twelve Japanese prisoners taken in the light between United States Agents Lembky and Judge with a force of native guards have been taken in the revenue cutter McCulloch from St. Paul island to Ivodiuk. where they have been held for trial. They are in the custody of a United States marshal. Chicago, Aug. 9.—The federal grand Jury has returned an indictment of nineteen counts against the Standard Oil company, charging securing of rebates through nonpayment of storage charges to certain railroads, procuring thereby unfair and illegal advantage over competitors in violation of the Elkins law. Pittsburg, Aug. 9.—Clinton B. Wray, the defaulting teller of the Union Trust Co., who together with Individual Bookkeeper Clifford S. Hlxson robbed the Institution of $125,000, has demanded extradition papers and will not leave Toronto,v Canada, for Pittsburg at once, as expected. The strange Chinaman entered Soo's place of business about three o'clock yesterday afternoon and told the latter that he intended to return to China next week. This piece of news hi' followed up with a demand for $100, but, with true courtesy, h»"* gave his intended victim until next Sunday to get the money. However, he gave Soo to understand that if the money was not forthcoming he would soon have an opportunity of testing the theory of the transmigration of souls, one of the solid Chinese doctrines. Soo Sing decided to take the time limit and the "Black Hand" man departed. It is believed that the South Main street Chinaman knows the extortioner, although he has not admitted that tie does. The matter has not yet been reported to the po,- lice. With the complete knowledge of the authorities, Police Superintendent Itikatcheff is organizing hooligans, distributing "patriotic" literature and spreading stories of mythical Jewish atrocities ou Catholics. His daughter tlrst reported his absence, she notifying Foreman James Evans that her father had not returned from his work at noon, as was his wont, and that he had failed to put in an appearance at supper time. Foreman Evans organized a searching party and, together with Fireboss George Owens and Driver Boss John Snyder, led the party through tho different workings of the mine. Foi* 11 hours, or all through Tuesday night, the party searched. A peculiar incident in connection with Wray has developed. Last April a local surety company which was on Wray's bond ordered a detective agency £o make an Investigation of his habits, as rumors of misconduct were current. The indictment was handed up to Judge S. H. Bethea. The Standard Oil company is the only defendant, no officials of the company and no railroad companies or officials being named. YOUNG MAN DROWNED. The attempt to got up a "pogrom" in Lpdz is particularly instructive, owing to the record of its chief organizer, Hlkatcheff, who is a particular favorite of tlie department of police at St. Petersburg. During the Odessa massacre of .Tows of last October Rikatcheff, then a simple constable, attracted attention for his ferocious conduct. Credible witnesses swore that he beat a child tb death. Acting Secretary of State Bacon held a conference with Mr. Miyoaka, Japanese charge d'affaires, and discussed the killing of the seal raiders. It was announced later that the state department did not consider there wan any question of international import involved, as the men were within thCj three mile limit and were armed, thus being in the same position as burglars. Mr. Miyaoka was inclined to agree with the acting secretary of state uud said ho had simply called at the state department for Information as to the killing of his countrymen. Distressing Accident at The bond of the defendant was fixed by Judge Bethea at $25,000. Investigation proved that Wray was anything but a total abstainer. He was also reported to have very expensive habits. Lake Winola. Outcome of Cloveland Probe. This is the case investigated by the grand jury in Cleveland, O., where it was fouud that the grand jury had no jurisdiction. The testimony taken there was transferred to Chicago, and the documents in evidence were identified by witnesses who testified in Cleveland.This Information was communicated to the trust company official!), who are Wild to have grown Indignant and declared that Wray was a most exemplary young man, that no evil could be considered against him. Officials of the company expressed the opinion that a "man with a little life in him" was the only Hind to make a successful banker. Charles Duly, a Mill City Young Man, Another searching party was organized yesterday morning. Roger Grimes, a son of the missing man, was among the party, and in their wanderings found his father's empty tea bottle.

However, Wray, who was then short $125,000 as the result of his connivance with Hixson, believed he was under suspicion of embezzlement He fled and remained away for a month, local newspapers commenting on his "mysterious disappearance." Lake Wlnola was the scene of a sensational drowning1 about ten o'clock lasit night, the victim having been Giles Daly, aged 24 years, son of Charles Daly, of Mill City. Ernest Freeman, a companion of Daly, had a very narrow escape from a similar fate. The grand jury immediately resumed Its session to take up the investigation of the charge yth.it the Standard Oil company was given direct rebates by some railroads. 3eals Considered Property.

This broke the Hlxson-Wray combination, and no money has been taken from the bank since April. Raphael Goldman, aged 12 years, of South Washington avenue, Scranton, narrowly escaped losing his life by flrowning in the lake at Rocky Glen.. The boy was one of a party of Scranton school children that visited the park yesterday afternoon. He had been out on the lake on the steamer. There was a crowd on the pier as the steamer approached the dock. Young Goldman became so impatient to get ashore that he tried to jump from the railing of the steamer to the platform of the dock, but missed the platform by about a foot and landed in the water, which was quite deep. Floyd Worden, the 14-year-old son of Minor Worden, who has Charge of the steamer, immediately went to the rescue, springing Into the water where the boy went down. The elder Worden also went into the water. Neither father nor son could locate the missing boy for a couple of minutes, but soon tiny bubbles began to appear on the surface of the water about 20 feet from the spot where the boy fell, and with these as a guide the elder Worden dived to the bottom of the lake and found the Goldman boy, bringing him to the surface. The boy was unconscious, but vigorous work on the part of the park employes, who rolled him on a barrel and used other restoratives, brought him back to consciousness within five minutes. The boy's mother was a witness of the accident and she fainted, being restored to consciousness about the same time that the boy was restored. The Wordens, father and son, were presented with rewards by the manager of the park. But again the powerful protectors of pogrom organizers intervened. Two months ago, to the horror of the people who knew his record, Rikatcheff appeal-ed at Lodz. This time he appeared in the rank of senior officer and began his agitation again. Six Masked Men Dynamite Safe of There Is a dancing pavilion on the Scranton side of the lake, a short distance from the Clifton hotel, and every Wednesday evening a dance is conducted, the same being attended by large numbers of young people from the country districts surrounding the lake. Daly and Freeman attended this dance last evening, and about 9 o'clock took a boat from the Clifton, hotel boat house without the knowledge of the keeper. They made considerable noise while rowing the boat away from the boat house, and the fact was commented on by people at the hotel. Some 15 minutes later erics were heard coming from the middle of the lake, but at first no attention was paid to them, as it was suppose.*! those who heard them that the-young men were still having a hilarious time.

Soon after Hixson's departure a depositor who had been running one of the "dead accounts" for many months strolled into the banu and asked to have his book balanced. erby Held Up and Hound The Bourse Gazette announce# that Papus, the spiritualist who is said to have had great influence over the emperor, lias gone abroad for medical treatment, as his nervous system is shattered by the press revelations. According to one paper, Papus gave fli't.v seances to the emperor, receiving $23,- 000 as compensation. and Gagged—Burg- lars work Leis- Product Stored Without Charge. urely The indictment alleges that by a system of granting the Standard Oil company certain concessions the oil company benefited to the extent of $8,- 500.72 during a period of time from August, 1903, to February, 1905. The indictment, as explained by the government's attorneys, means that in nineteen instances certain consignments of oil for the Standard Oil company were stored by the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad company and that the railroad company received no payment of 5 cents per ton per day from the oil company for such storage, but that its competitors were compelled to pay this amount. This was equivalent to granting a concession, it is charged, the nonpayment of the storage charges being practically a rebate In favor of the oil company. Each count sets up a discrimination of from $300 to $500 a month in favor of the oil company. A desperate gang of six masked burglars broke into the plant 'of the Susquehanna Brewing Co., in Nant!- eoke, at 2:!I0 this morning, and perpetrated one of the jnost daring robberies in the history of the section. After binding and gagging two men they dynamited the safe and got away with $550 worth of plunder. The man .jhftwwl alt fhe nnfirmrlewtt The dispatch says that the fleet of eight or ten Japanese schooners was first observed on July 16 close to shore and easily within the three mile limit. A small boat with a crew of six Japanese was landed at Northeast Point and "'as surprised by Agents Lembky and Judge with a squad of the native guards. There were no casualties on either side. On the following day an armed party was landed from the Japanese schooners and was attacked by the native guards. Two Japanese were killed and one wounded. This unearthed the scheme of making false credits and debits. Then came the awakening. TWIN SONS DIED 1 almost together; Paper 8ees "American Peril."

Men who were attracted to the vleintty of the brewery by the report of the explosion found the watchman and another man bound and gagged and the safe cracked. The burglars escaped without leaving a clue to their identity. Embalmed Second Before leav- Among those sitting on the veranda of Hotel Clifton was I)r. M. A. Duffy and some friends from Scranton, who hearing the repeated cries went to the shore and immediately decided that some one was in distress on the lake. The cries came so distinctly over the surface of the water that there was no mistaking the appeal." Without knowing the exact location of the young men, Dr. Duffy Jumped into the water and swam in the direction of the cries, which every minute became more pitiful. He found that the boat had capsized and that Freeman and Daly were clinging to it. The light from the moon gave but little help and It was not easy to locate the men in the ing the House. There was a sad funeral in Dupont yesterday afternoon, when twin sons of Mr. and Mrs. Tony Martone were burled. The boys were juat nine months and two weeks old. They were apparently strong children until the recent hot spell, when both of them became 111 about the same time. Last Tuesday morningr, one of the sons died, and Undertaker Locuta was called to embalm him. While the undertaker was working on the body the second boy died, and both bodies were prepared for burial before Mr. Locuta left the house. The parents of the twins are of Italian Carried Off Many Sealo. The brejvery is surrounded by a high fence and at night a gate as high as the fence Is securely locked. Thia was done last night, and the conditions about the brewery were as usual until 2:30 this morning, when the watchman, whose name Is Snyder, heard some one pounding on the gate. He went over to the gate and called out. A man answered, begging for a drink of water, and Snyder swung the gate slightly open to look at the stranger. The latter continued to ask for water and Snyder finally admitted hint. As the watchman turned around to close the gate again five other men, all masked, rushed in, and revolvers were placed under his nose. The sixth man had also masked and they led Snyder into the office of the brewery, after posting a lookout. They then tied him securely and forced a gag into his mouth, after which they prepared to blast the safe. After that encounter the schooners stood off shore and under cover of a dense fog shot seuls for several hours. It Is not known to the officials at Sitka how many seals were taken In this way, but about 200 were carried off by the Japanese after the tlual repulse. Crews from at least three of the schooners on July 17 made raids ou the Seapandi rookeries, and three of them were shot, and twelve prisoners were taken. After that the fleet of schooners set sail and disappeared. The Constitutional Democratic leaders are undecided as to what course tpipursue. M. Pet'runkevitch says big advices from the country say the villages are in a state bordering ou chaos. The peasants do not recognize any authority and talk only of the distribution of lands. By order of .Turtle Betlien a second grand jury was drawn and summoned to appear next Tuesday morning. This body will take up the investigation of the business methods of the Htandard Oil company where the present inquisitorial body was compelled to leave off. The second jury will begin Its Investigation with March, 1905. At Sosnowice, Russian Poland, a bomb was thrown into a crowded waiting room at the railway station. One man was killed and many were wounded. extraction The prisoners took their capture with indifference. Some of them said they were members of the schooner Toyai Marti, aud others said they belonged on board the Mel Maru. Small boats with the names of these two schooners were captured. It Is believed by the officials at Sitka thut the schooners are not fur away and that they will make further efforts to raid the seal rookeries. Many of the seals they killed were females in search of food for their young. The killing of the females resulted in the deaths of many of the young from starvation. water Just as Dr. Duffy swam to the scene Daly disappeared, and he then gave his attention to Freeman, whom he grasped and held up until the launch arrived from Hotel Clifton in charge of Mr. Fuller, and took Freeman on board. Fuller insisted that Dr. Duffy should also get on board, but he declared that he would make an effort to save the other man and dived after him repeatedly, but without success. Dr. Duffy then boarded the launch and returned to Hotel Clifton with the half-drowned Freeman. PARADE IS OFF. DIED FROM FRIGHT, A frightful panic ensued, resulting in injury to many other persons. Women jfainted and children were trampled u{DtDip. The thrower of the bomb escaped.It was found necessary last night to change the arrangements that had been made for a parade of Carroll council, Y. M. I., tomorrow evening, (n honor of the returning delegates to the Atlantic Cilv convention. Most of the delegates arrived last night, not having' been informed of the plans made to greet them. The new arrangements are for an elaborate loception in the rooms of the council in the Gillespie building. John J. Hefferon and Attorney W. H. Gillespie, the new grand secretary and new grand lecturer and organizer, respectively, will be the guests of honor. Members of the reception committee greeted the returning members last night when they arrived, having been suspicious that they would reach here before expected. Numerous addresses will be made and refreshments served. AVOCA'S BANK. The wife of Rev. G. Wesley Marquadt, pastor of Grace United Evangelical church, Allentown, died last night from shock that resulted from being frightened. Rev.

A Nanticoke resident named Robert Sagger was passing the brewery at the time, and his suspicions were aroused by those on guard. They were sooh verified, for one of the men threatened to shoot him, and he was led Into the brewery and bound and gagged also, being placed beside After Freeman was somewhat restored, he stated that Daly and himself were playing in the boat, not realizing that they were so far from CHILD DIES FROM FALL DOWN STAIRS. Although the strike is practically oyer, the authorities-have not relaxed their vigilance, and they continue to arrest the revolutionary leaders as well as those responsible for the calling of the strike. 8trlke Leaders Arrested Snyder shore, when the boat suddenly capsized. They managed to hold on to the boat until it Sank, and were crying for help as loudly as possible. They gave up all hopes of being saved, although they could hear the laughter from the pavilion and could almost make out the conversation of some of the people. Freeman declared he could not have held up until the launch arrived had it not been for The burglars worked very leisurely until the blast was ready. After they fired it. they hurriedly went through the safe»and, after taking all the valuables in it, made their escape. There had been left in the safe $50 in cash and $500 in revenue stamps, all of which were taken.

STOLE MINERS' TOOLS. For many years the people of Wayne county who have visited For# est City by highway conveyance have been compelled to ford the Lackawanna and in doing so pass up and down almost precipitous embankments. For years attempts have been made to secure a Joint county bridge, and the long drawn out effort at last gives promise of success, the Susquehanna county grand jury last week having fallen in line with the action of the Wayne county grand jury and confirmed the viewers' report in recommending the building of the structure. Judge Purdy, on the part of Wayne county, has approved the project and now all that remains to be done is for Judge Searle of Susquehanna county to approve the findings of the grand jury in his county. This he will doubtless do at his next term of court. The bridge is now practically assured. Charged with stealing tools from fellow miners In No. 1 colliery, of the Red Ash Coal Company, Rally Obehoskie and Charles Stulk were arraigned before 'Squire Moyles, at Laurel Run. Tuesday night.
