Ollboy, former tax collector of ' the borough, was arrested on warrants sworn out by County Detective Richard Jones. The charge against him Is embezzlement, the allegation being that- he embezzled nearly J6.000 of county, poor, borough and school taxes, during his term of office as collector of taxes. The arrest followed an examination of the books of the borough after they had been handed over to Robert Bown, the present tax collector. Kaiser Wilhelm. , Strings Broken. In court, this morning, -the cases of the 15 Italians residing- in the Boston settlement, near Yatesvllle, on charges growing out of the mine suspension last spring, were called for trial. The story of the cases la that during the suspension Detective Theodore Shafer, of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Cowent to the Boston settlement and made an arrest of a man whom he charged with having been concerned in some suspension trouble In that section. When he tried to take his prisoner away from the village, a crowd of the man's friends set upon him and took his prisoner away from him. The next day, a squad of State Constables Went to the village and arrested 15 men who were pointed out to them as being concerned in the attack on the detective. Tliey were charged with Inciting a riot and resisting an officer. The men were all taken before Alderman Barrett in this city, and committed to jail. Later Attorney W. K. Gillespie, who was serving as attorney for the United Mine Workers, secured the release of the 15 Italians on baiL The cases of the men were placed on the trial list for this week, but when the cases wero called this morning, District Attorney Jones agreed to the request made by Attorney Gillespie that a nol pros be entered in each of the 15 cases, and the court handed down an order to this effect. This action is takon to mean that the prosecution did not succeed in securing sufficient evidence against the prisoner;? to make It wise to take the cases before juries. The costs in the cases were placed on the county. of Rich Women. Philadelphia, Nov. 23.—With ceremonies that were extremely impressive the remains of James Wilson, of Pennsylvania, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, a leader In the convention which framed the federal constitution and one of the original justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, which for 108 years had lain In a North Carolina grave, were yesterday placed beside those of hla wife in a tomb in the grave yard of historic Christ church. On the plain walnut coffin as it was lowered into the vault of ancient design lay a large wreath, the tribute of the 26th President of the nation, whose foundation he helped to build, and surrounding the open grave stood, with heads uncovered, a representative of the President, justices of the Federal Supreme court, the Governor of Pennsylvania, members of the State and local judiciary and distinguished citizens of this and other cities. Before the exercises at the church the body lay In state In the declaration room of Independence Hall, where the general public was given an opportunity to pay a last tribute. Cherbourg, France, Nov. 23.—Thirteen steerage passengers and sailors lost their lives and fourteen were injured in the collision between the North German Lloyd steamer Kaisei Wilhelm der Orosse and the Royal Mail steamer Orinoco in the English channel off this port and in the paulc that followed. Herkimer, N. Y., Nov. 23.—Hardness of heart at least was proved against Chester Gillette at his trial for the murder of Grace Brown. New York, Nov. 23.—"What would the poor do if there were no rich to work for?" repeated Mrs. Rose Pastot Stokes when Miss Morosini's question wns put to her at her home, 45 Norfolk street. It was shown that during fortyeight hours following the girl's death Gillette rambled about the Adlrondacks with other young persons, apparently enjoying the outing as much as any of them. When the body of his one time sweetheart still was in Big Moose lnke Gillette paddled in a canoe from Fourth lake to Seventh lnke In search of Miss ratttek and Miss Westcott of Cortland, with whom he wished to continue his holiday trip. "Please God," answered the (formei clgarmaker rind present wife of n wealthy worker among the poor, "they would work for themselves." TWO HOUSES DAMAGED. Both steamers, seriously damaged, are lying In the roadstead here. In the Kaiser Wilhelm's starboard quarter is a hole thirty feet long and fifteen feet high where the Orinoco's bow struck her. It penetrated Into the steerage, instantly killing four men and so Injuring a girl named Stevler that she died in the hospital here. The Kaiser Wilhelm's first class passengers will be transferred to the American. liner St. Paul and riie French llnei Ln Lorraine, which touch here tomor row. The German vessel will go to Bremerharen for repairs, which will cost $200,000, it is roughly estimated The rich young woman who formerly earned her bread by the sweat of The warrants against Gilboy are four in number, and the charge in every case Is embezzlement. The county detective became prosecutor on evidence given him by the United States Fidelity and Bonding Co., of Baltimore, the organization that was on Gilboy'8 bond. A hearing wan held in the cases this morning by Alderman Pollock, who had Issued the warrants. Gilboy was held in $ LOOO ball in the separate cases, making the total amount of the ball (4,- 000. At the conclusion of the hearing Gilboy left in the custody of a constable to hunt up bail. f 9pDK Serious Mine Gave in Upper Pittston. Guilty or guiltless of Grace Brown's tragic end, he caretl no more for It tlian to participate In merrymakings iw lightheartedly as If the black waters had uot closed over her. He even roamed over Black Bear mountain ■with his camera, making snapshots of the scenery, and he Joined another young man In taking photographs of the gay party he Joined at Arrowhead. In taking those pictures Gillette may have forged a strong link in the chain of evidence against him. The camera was supposed to have been in the rowboat with him and the girl. If It was Immersed, how, the prosecution will ask, could it have been used on the next day without being sent to a factory for repairs? Two Properties Owned by Ixmls Sclineek Affected—One House Badly Tilted—Cave Caused by Robbing of Pillars In Baraum Mine. For the first time in almost a year the residents of North Main street. Upper Pittston, in the vicinity of Barnum street, were thrown into a state of excitement by a mine cave yesterday afternoon. Three buildings were affected and a fourth sliffhtly damaged. The cave was the result of robbing pillars in Barnum mine. There were a number of oaves in this section a year ago and much damage resulted from them. hi;re. The squire at the hearing expressed a willingness to settle for any amount he is proven short, but it is said that the bonding company will refuse to make any settlement of the case and will demand that the extax collector be tried. As the jr-rear vessels disengaged themselves after thC; collision the Orinoco'# stem was broken off above the watei line, and she lost her anchors aud forward gear. The Royal Mail steamei Magdalena, which leaves Southampton next Wednesday, will take the Orinoco's passengers, mails and cargo. Orinoco'* Stem Broken Off. Body Lay in State. Justice Wilson died while on the southern judicial circuit and was buried at Edenton, N. C. It was the cherished desire of those who recognized his work in the early struggles of the republic to have him in the midst of the scenes of his most important labors. The body was disinterred on Tuesday and was conveyed to this city by the United States gunboat Dubuque, which arrived here shortly before noon yesterday. The remains were received by Governor Pennypacker and were carried on the shoulders of six United States sailors to Independence Hall. The escorting committee consisted of the Wilson Memorial committee, representatives of colonial societies and distinguished citizens, under guard of the First City troop, Phllavlelphla'8 oldest military organisation. The -old State House was draped in mourning and surrounding the coffin in the historic room where the Declaration of Independence was signed were numerous floral tributes. Squire Gilboy was chosen tax collector after Collector Jackson had been forced to resign, and he served until some trouble arose over his bond, when he resigned, and Robert Bown. jury commissioner-elect, was chosen in his place. The case of Detective T. B. Shaffer, of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company, against George Ellis, charged with larceny, has been settled. The defendant entered a plea of guilty and the court suspended sentence In the case. Ellis agreed to pay all of the costs which have been Incurred. The weather was foggy. The Kalsei Wilhelm der Grobse had started out for New York. Her pilot, Lesage, had just left her, and the Orinoco, outward bound from Southampton for West Indian ports, was entering this harbor. The Orinoco's captain declares he signaled he was going to starboard 01 the Kaiser Wilhelm, but the North German Lloyd vessel held her course across the Orinoco's bows and wenl to port of the Orinoco only when It was too late. • Louis Schneck, a prosperous Lithuanian saloon keeper, suffered practically all the loss occasioned by the cave of yesterday. His own home was badly damaged and a houae that he rents was renderod almost useless. A hall In the rear of his place suffered also. ' Slight damage was done to the foundations of the house of Joseph Polotski, the first above the Schnocker property. , Gillette"! Story Told. r Gillette's story of the young woman's death, as told to Undersherlff Klock, was repeated by Klock. Ho said Gillette professed to be astonished when told the girl was dead. ROSE PASTOR STOKES. her brow continued at length, taking Miss Morosln! to task for her views ou dress and the duties of the rich. KEYSTONE STILL IDLE. Miss Moroslnl created a sensation in a recent interview by saying that her dresses cost $200,000 a year, that she never wore anything Imitation and that hor extravagance, if people chose to call it such, was justified by the fact tlmt it money:Jnto circulation. "After a few minutes," Klock testified, "I told him he knew as well ad I did that the girl was dead. He replied, 'Yes, the boat upset.' I asked him how long he and the girl had been intimate, and he said alKiut a year. I asked him If he had ever heard anything said against her character, and he said he never had heard a word. He said the boat tipped over about fl o'clock that Wednesday evening (July 11). The girl came to the surface, and he told her to cling to the stern and he would try to get her ashore. MINE OFFICIALS DEAD. Work Completely Tied up by The cave affected a circular area of ground about 150 feet in dlameterD Cracks extend six feet out on Main street and go across Barnum street for a distance of BO feet from Main street. The double building occupied by Schneck's tenants is at a decided pitch and. there was fear last night that it would topple over. It seemed to be In the center of the caved area and for this reason suffered more than the rest. In its present condition it is uninhabitable. Schneck's saloon and house appears less seriously damaged, but a close examination reveals cracked foundations and other signs of a severe settling. Italians. Bodies of Two Missing Men The Orinoco's engines were reversed, her captain says, but she struck the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse with such force that all hands on both vessols were thrown from their feet. Ot the German ship's 700 steerage passengers four persons were crushed under the grinding timbers and seven others were Injured. Steerage Passengers Hurt. Found. Never Think of Coet. Mrs. Stokes said: Their Claim Today Is That Tliey Will Not Work Until All the Prisoners "It is JDecause such women as Miss Moroslnl nnd women of their class never think what things cost awl that women of tJie working class are compelled to think constantly of what things cost that the rude awakening is bound to come to all of us some day, perhaps at greater cost than we can afford, unless such women who spend great wealth they have never done Anything to earn begin to think early and soon of the deep injustice under lying our economic and social conditions.Arrested In Connection With Ilecovercd JYom the Central Mine. The body lay In stato from 12 o'clock until 1:30 when the Justices of the United States Supreme court arrived* At 1:30 the doors were closed to the public and United States Attorney General Moody, Chief Justice Fuller and Associate Justices White, Day and Holmes, and United States Court Judge Gray, were admitted to the building. After a private view a procession was formed for the march to Christ church. First came the cavalry in brilliant uniform, on foot In double file, then the flag draped casket, followed by the four Supreme court Justices, who acted as honorary pall bearers, representatives of colonial societies and State and city officials. Affair Are Released— Scranlon, After a Two Days' Sought. Search—The Men Were Both Despite the fact that the Traders' Coal Co. announced positively yesterday that the Keystone colliery, where the riot occurred a few days ago, would recommence operations this itforning the Italians succeeded 'n keeping it Idle. There was no riot, however, as occurred the past two mornings, a detachment of the State Constabulary being on hand to see that order was maintained. The Italians seemed, however, to have attained the end of keeping the colliery from working, by Intimidation, for not enough men offered to go in to make the starting of operations worth while. "At first he said he was standing up doing something with his hat and the boat went over. The next time I talked with him lie said he was standing up trying to reach a pond lily. The third time he said he was walking back toward the stern to talk to the girl when the boat upset. I asked him why he did not go to her assistance. He replied, 'Because I was afraid that she might struggle so that we would both go down.' When asked If he or the girl was to blame for the alleged accident he replied, 'I suppose I am to blame for it.'" Victims of an Explosion of Mine Gas. The steerage passengers on both cteuniers became panic stricken, but the panic was' greater on the Orinoco Women, frenzied with fear, could not be restrained until the boats, which were quickly lowered, had reached the water. Steerage passengers, women and men, Jumped overboard, rtne boat was swamped. Small boats from here picked up several persons, but five pas sengers and three sailors are missing from the Orinoco and seven Injured are in hospital. With the finding of the bodies of Mine Foreman Benjamin Evans and Evan J*. Williams, at an early hour this morning. In the Central mine of the D., L.. & W. Coal Co., at Scranton, the culmination of the mine tragedy which has absorbed the interest of the public for the past few days was reached. A searching party under the direction of District Superintendent Thomas J. Williams discovered the remains of Williams, burnt almost to a crisp, jammed up against the wall of one of the abandoned workings of the mine. The worst suspicions were confirmed, for Williams had lost his life In an explosion of an accumulation of mine gas, and the resulting fire had fed upon his body, until the charred remains presented a horrible appearance as they lay against the wall, with one hand thrown in front of the eyes as though to protect them from the encroaching flames. As the body of Evans was not found until, a few hours later It was hoped at first that he might still be living, but his remains, in a condition similar to those of Williams, were discovered about five feet distant from his companion. The search for the bodies was an exemplary one, carried on against failing hopes that the victims might still exist, and to recover their remains if they were dead. It will be remembered that Evans and Williams went into the mine on Wednesday afternoon to locate a fall of rock which was said to be dbstructing the passage D of air through the chambers. As they did not return that evening a search, which was incessant, was instituted and wag conducted under the direction of General Superintendent Reese A. Phillips. All the veins in the mine were gone through and a large gang of men was placed at work removing a fall of rock With the -idea that it might cover the missing bodies, but it did not, and the search' was taken up with redoubled energy, and with aded incentive. The bodies J»-ere taken from the mine early this morning and convey#! to their homes in the suburbs of Scranton. The first evidence of a settling appeared Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Schneck noticed a large crack in the cellar wall and, toward evening, the door of the saloon could not be opened. Mr. Schneck attributed this latter fact to the weather. Just about 5:45 yesterday afternoon—a clock In the Schneck home stopped at that hour— a decided disturbance of the ground was felt »tnd the double house careenod to one side, causing the tenants to rush out In fear. The effect of the cave was not so noticeable In the home and saloon of Schneck. which Is a now building, with modern Improvements, Including steam heat. The tenants could not be induced to $leep In the house and moved their household effects out. fearing that the building would disappear. The plaster was ripped from the walls and the floor thrown to a decided angle. Mr. Schneck is arranging to have the damage repaired as soon as possible. "Women thus wasteful and extravagant are not—as they do not deserve to be—happy. Women having barely enough clothing to keep them In at least a semblance of self respect are not and cannot be happy. There is not a thing that this woman wears or possesses that Is not produced by labor, and yet labor lives In poverty. Klock admitted that Gillette told him he expected to be married, and he understood the defendant to mean the ceremony was to take place during the Adirondack trip. Expected to Be Married. Christ church Is located In the heart of the business section of the city and as the funeral party slowly marched along the sidewalks there was a general suspension of business. The Italians are credited with having said this morning that they will prevent the resumption of operations until their countrymen who are under arrest on rioting and other charges In connection with the disturbances are released from jail. London, Nov. 28.—At a meeting of the Baptist Missionary society to protest against misrule in the Kongo King Leopold of Belgium was called the devil incarnate. I)r. Fullerton said it was esthnated that nearly 3,000,000 persons hart been done to death there. Another speaker said the Kongo had been a veritable hell and Leopold had been the demon ruling over It. King Leopold Denounced Again Should Learn Source of Money. "I say It Is every woman's duty when she has money to dress as beau tlfully as she can possibly wish to and is doing nothing in real service to earn that money; It Is her duty, I repeat, tc Inquire Into the sources of her wealth— who produced It, under what conditions it was produced, what Is the com pensation to those who produced it and why she who bears uo relation to 11 should have it. Exercl*De» at the Church, Sheriff Richard told of finding the tennis racket hidden behind a log on the road from Big Moose to Eagle bay. Gillette had told him he had placed the racket there, finding it too much trouble to carry. The racket was put in evidence. Several strings are broken. The services in the church were conducted by the Right Rev. Alexander Mackay-Smlth, bishop coadjutor of the Protestant Episcopal church of Pennsylvania. Following the servtces Governor Pennypacker took charge of the exercises and before Introducing the other speakers, delivered a brief eulogy. He was followed by Samuel Dickson of this city, who spoke for the bar of Pennsylvania, and William Draper Lewis, who paid a tribute In the game of the University of Pennsylvania. Then came tributes by Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, who spoke for American literature; Andrew Carnegie, as lord rector of St. Andrew's university, who paid the tribute of Scotch-Americans; Alton B. Parker, on behajf of the American bar; Justice White, for the Supreme court of the United States, and United States Attorney General Moody, who spoke for the nation. Attorney W. H. GUlesple, who has been retained In the case of the Italians arrested for rioting at the Keystone colliery the past few days went into court this morning and applied for a habeas corpus hearing for some of his clients. The hearing will likely take place on Tuesday morning. Ot the 13 men arrested and committed to Jail by Squire Connlff, four are being held to await the result of the Injuries inflicted on Foreman Duffy. These will not be given a habeas corpus hearing. Directly across Barnum street from the Schneck home is the house of Jno. Granahan, which was nearly destroyed by a cave while being built a year ago. Mr. Granahan's family moved Into the dwelling during the present month, and It is being painted now. The cracks In the surface are close to the Granahan home, but It Is not expected that there will be any more caving in that direction. Negro Soldiers Discharged. Attorney Thomas, for the defense, insisted that Sheriff Richard, who had Just been sworn, admit that the racket was not in the same condition as when found, that the handle part had become loosened in the meantime, The state will undertake to show how the handle became loosened by producing expert witnesses who will testify to having made a microscopical examination of all its parts. What these experts discovered the state is concealing, but it will not be a surprise to those who have-been following the case here if proof is offered that blood was found on the racket and that it was the weapon with which "Billy" Brown's head and face were battered. San Antonio, Tex., Nov. 2.1.—Five soldiers, the last but one of the twelve members of the Twenty-fifth Infantry who have been held in the guardhouse since the Brownsville trouble, were discharged without honor at the post headquarters. One man, by special order from the war department, Is being held. No reason Is given In the order for his detention. "Women of Miss Moroslni's class may not bfe aware of the fact thai they are paupers. A pauper is one who either from Inability or unwillingness to support himself Is supported at the expense of the community. The truer pauper of the two, It seems tc me, Is he who can but is unwilling to support himself and is thus thrown up on the shoulders of the community. The State Constabulary Is taking an active part in keeping peace about the colliery. A detail of men are constantly on the scene and a detachment of the troop holds Itself In readiness for an instant response to any call. The condition of Foreman Duffy, who was attacked by the Italians Wednesday is not considered serious and he will be able to be about in a few days. There was no meeting: of common council last evening, as fewer than a quorum of members responded. The following were present: Messrs. McNevin, Carden, Munley, Foy, Earley, Kelly and McCanna. No Moral Right to Wealth. "Any adult who renders no service to the community has no moral right to take any wealth from the community. That the class of Idlers should have so much wealth as to ruin even their own souls in reckless and extravagant living and the class of workers should have barely enough to keep body and soul together is the one crying shame of our so called civilization. SPECIAL NOTICES. Justice White In his tribute referred at length to the work of the constitutional convention and concluded as follows: "As I stand here a participant in these ceremonies commemoratlve of the placing of all that remains of James Wilson to rest In the bosom of the mother who bore bore him—this great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania—my mind turns not to extol his virtues but rather lifts itself up to that all-merciful Ruler who holds in the hollow .of his hand the destinies of people and nations, with the supplication that these ceremonies may enkindle in all our hearts a keener purpose to preserve and perpetuate the government which our fathers gave us." Knowledge on Gillette's part of the girl's deatR before he was arrested apparently was clinched by the evidence of the Rev. Cuthbert Frost of the First Presbyterian church of Lowville, who, with a party, was at the Arrowhead Inn two days after the girl's death. WE WILL HAVE Martin Memlo, board member of the U. M.

They were waiting at the head of the shaft for the superintendent when the foreman came along and wanted to know why they did ,not go to work.

Special—Home Killed Chickens lflc FOR DRESSV IE1 "I saw Gillette coming downstairs from his room that evening," said the preacher, "and overheard him ask two men if they bad heard of a tragedy on Big Moose lake in which a young girl had been drowned. I did not hear what reply, if any, was given." So far as the testimony has gone no oue else in Arrowhead Is known to have had knowledge of the young woman's death at that time. Mine Inspector David Williams this morning gave out a statement of how, in his opinion, the accident happened. He said that judging from the position of the bodies and the conditions of the workings the mens had entered the section where the accident occurred with the flreboss in the lead. Williams, who carried a safety lamp, evidently ran into a pocket of gas, and turned to give a warning to his companion, who carried a naked lamp, but too late. Evans was following so closely that he was upon the flreboss before the latter could shout his warning and the blase from his lighted lamp coming In contact with the gas, set It oft, the force of the explosion in turn causing the fall of roof under which the men were burled. lb.

The charge against him Is embezzlement, the allegation being that- he embezzled nearly J6.000 of county, poor, borough and school taxes, during his term of office as collector of taxes. The arrest followed an examination of the books of the borough after they had been handed over to Robert Bown, the present tax collector. Kaiser Wilhelm. , Strings Broken. In court, this morning, -the cases of the 15 Italians residing- in the Boston settlement, near Yatesvllle, on charges growing out of the mine suspension last spring, were called for trial. The story of the cases la that during the suspension Detective Theodore Shafer, of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Cowent to the Boston settlement and made an arrest of a man whom he charged with having been concerned in some suspension trouble In that section. When he tried to take his prisoner away from the village, a crowd of the man's friends set upon him and took his prisoner away from him. The next day, a squad of State Constables Went to the village and arrested 15 men who were pointed out to them as being concerned in the attack on the detective. Tliey were charged with Inciting a riot and resisting an officer. The men were all taken before Alderman Barrett in this city, and committed to jail. Later Attorney W. K. Gillespie, who was serving as attorney for the United Mine Workers, secured the release of the 15 Italians on baiL The cases of the men were placed on the trial list for this week, but when the cases wero called this morning, District Attorney Jones agreed to the request made by Attorney Gillespie that a nol pros be entered in each of the 15 cases, and the court handed down an order to this effect. This action is takon to mean that the prosecution did not succeed in securing sufficient evidence against the prisoner;? to make It wise to take the cases before juries. The costs in the cases were placed on the county. of Rich Women. Philadelphia, Nov. 23.—With ceremonies that were extremely impressive the remains of James Wilson, of Pennsylvania, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, a leader In the convention which framed the federal constitution and one of the original justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, which for 108 years had lain In a North Carolina grave, were yesterday placed beside those of hla wife in a tomb in the grave yard of historic Christ church. On the plain walnut coffin as it was lowered into the vault of ancient design lay a large wreath, the tribute of the 26th President of the nation, whose foundation he helped to build, and surrounding the open grave stood, with heads uncovered, a representative of the President, justices of the Federal Supreme court, the Governor of Pennsylvania, members of the State and local judiciary and distinguished citizens of this and other cities. Before the exercises at the church the body lay In state In the declaration room of Independence Hall, where the general public was given an opportunity to pay a last tribute. Cherbourg, France, Nov. 23.—Thirteen steerage passengers and sailors lost their lives and fourteen were injured in the collision between the North German Lloyd steamer Kaisei Wilhelm der Orosse and the Royal Mail steamer Orinoco in the English channel off this port and in the paulc that followed. Herkimer, N. Y., Nov. 23.—Hardness of heart at least was proved against Chester Gillette at his trial for the murder of Grace Brown. New York, Nov. 23.—"What would the poor do if there were no rich to work for?" repeated Mrs. Rose Pastot Stokes when Miss Morosini's question wns put to her at her home, 45 Norfolk street. It was shown that during fortyeight hours following the girl's death Gillette rambled about the Adlrondacks with other young persons, apparently enjoying the outing as much as any of them. When the body of his one time sweetheart still was in Big Moose lnke Gillette paddled in a canoe from Fourth lake to Seventh lnke In search of Miss ratttek and Miss Westcott of Cortland, with whom he wished to continue his holiday trip. "Please God," answered the (formei clgarmaker rind present wife of n wealthy worker among the poor, "they would work for themselves." TWO HOUSES DAMAGED. Both steamers, seriously damaged, are lying In the roadstead here. In the Kaiser Wilhelm's starboard quarter is a hole thirty feet long and fifteen feet high where the Orinoco's bow struck her. It penetrated Into the steerage, instantly killing four men and so Injuring a girl named Stevler that she died in the hospital here. The Kaiser Wilhelm's first class passengers will be transferred to the American. liner St. Paul and riie French llnei Ln Lorraine, which touch here tomor row. The German vessel will go to Bremerharen for repairs, which will cost $200,000, it is roughly estimated The rich young woman who formerly earned her bread by the sweat of The warrants against Gilboy are four in number, and the charge in every case Is embezzlement. The county detective became prosecutor on evidence given him by the United States Fidelity and Bonding Co., of Baltimore, the organization that was on Gilboy'8 bond. A hearing wan held in the cases this morning by Alderman Pollock, who had Issued the warrants. Gilboy was held in $ LOOO ball in the separate cases, making the total amount of the ball (4,- 000. At the conclusion of the hearing Gilboy left in the custody of a constable to hunt up bail. f 9pDK Serious Mine Gave in Upper Pittston. Guilty or guiltless of Grace Brown's tragic end, he caretl no more for It tlian to participate In merrymakings iw lightheartedly as If the black waters had uot closed over her. He even roamed over Black Bear mountain ■with his camera, making snapshots of the scenery, and he Joined another young man In taking photographs of the gay party he Joined at Arrowhead. In taking those pictures Gillette may have forged a strong link in the chain of evidence against him. The camera was supposed to have been in the rowboat with him and the girl. If It was Immersed, how, the prosecution will ask, could it have been used on the next day without being sent to a factory for repairs? Two Properties Owned by Ixmls Sclineek Affected—One House Badly Tilted—Cave Caused by Robbing of Pillars In Baraum Mine. For the first time in almost a year the residents of North Main street. Upper Pittston, in the vicinity of Barnum street, were thrown into a state of excitement by a mine cave yesterday afternoon. Three buildings were affected and a fourth sliffhtly damaged. The cave was the result of robbing pillars in Barnum mine. There were a number of oaves in this section a year ago and much damage resulted from them. hi;re. The squire at the hearing expressed a willingness to settle for any amount he is proven short, but it is said that the bonding company will refuse to make any settlement of the case and will demand that the extax collector be tried. As the jr-rear vessels disengaged themselves after thC; collision the Orinoco'# stem was broken off above the watei line, and she lost her anchors aud forward gear. The Royal Mail steamei Magdalena, which leaves Southampton next Wednesday, will take the Orinoco's passengers, mails and cargo. Orinoco'* Stem Broken Off. Body Lay in State. Justice Wilson died while on the southern judicial circuit and was buried at Edenton, N. C. It was the cherished desire of those who recognized his work in the early struggles of the republic to have him in the midst of the scenes of his most important labors. The body was disinterred on Tuesday and was conveyed to this city by the United States gunboat Dubuque, which arrived here shortly before noon yesterday. The remains were received by Governor Pennypacker and were carried on the shoulders of six United States sailors to Independence Hall. The escorting committee consisted of the Wilson Memorial committee, representatives of colonial societies and distinguished citizens, under guard of the First City troop, Phllavlelphla'8 oldest military organisation. The -old State House was draped in mourning and surrounding the coffin in the historic room where the Declaration of Independence was signed were numerous floral tributes. Squire Gilboy was chosen tax collector after Collector Jackson had been forced to resign, and he served until some trouble arose over his bond, when he resigned, and Robert Bown. jury commissioner-elect, was chosen in his place. The case of Detective T. B. Shaffer, of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company, against George Ellis, charged with larceny, has been settled. The defendant entered a plea of guilty and the court suspended sentence In the case. Ellis agreed to pay all of the costs which have been Incurred. The weather was foggy. The Kalsei Wilhelm der Grobse had started out for New York. Her pilot, Lesage, had just left her, and the Orinoco, outward bound from Southampton for West Indian ports, was entering this harbor. The Orinoco's captain declares he signaled he was going to starboard 01 the Kaiser Wilhelm, but the North German Lloyd vessel held her course across the Orinoco's bows and wenl to port of the Orinoco only when It was too late. • Louis Schneck, a prosperous Lithuanian saloon keeper, suffered practically all the loss occasioned by the cave of yesterday. His own home was badly damaged and a houae that he rents was renderod almost useless. A hall In the rear of his place suffered also. ' Slight damage was done to the foundations of the house of Joseph Polotski, the first above the Schnocker property. , Gillette"! Story Told. r Gillette's story of the young woman's death, as told to Undersherlff Klock, was repeated by Klock. Ho said Gillette professed to be astonished when told the girl was dead. ROSE PASTOR STOKES. her brow continued at length, taking Miss Morosln! to task for her views ou dress and the duties of the rich. KEYSTONE STILL IDLE. Miss Moroslnl created a sensation in a recent interview by saying that her dresses cost $200,000 a year, that she never wore anything Imitation and that hor extravagance, if people chose to call it such, was justified by the fact tlmt it money:Jnto circulation. "After a few minutes," Klock testified, "I told him he knew as well ad I did that the girl was dead. He replied, 'Yes, the boat upset.' I asked him how long he and the girl had been intimate, and he said alKiut a year. I asked him If he had ever heard anything said against her character, and he said he never had heard a word. He said the boat tipped over about fl o'clock that Wednesday evening (July 11). The girl came to the surface, and he told her to cling to the stern and he would try to get her ashore. MINE OFFICIALS DEAD. Work Completely Tied up by The cave affected a circular area of ground about 150 feet in dlameterD Cracks extend six feet out on Main street and go across Barnum street for a distance of BO feet from Main street. The double building occupied by Schneck's tenants is at a decided pitch and. there was fear last night that it would topple over. It seemed to be In the center of the caved area and for this reason suffered more than the rest. In its present condition it is uninhabitable. Schneck's saloon and house appears less seriously damaged, but a close examination reveals cracked foundations and other signs of a severe settling. Italians. Bodies of Two Missing Men The Orinoco's engines were reversed, her captain says, but she struck the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse with such force that all hands on both vessols were thrown from their feet. Ot the German ship's 700 steerage passengers four persons were crushed under the grinding timbers and seven others were Injured. Steerage Passengers Hurt. Found. Never Think of Coet. Mrs. Stokes said: Their Claim Today Is That Tliey Will Not Work Until All the Prisoners "It is JDecause such women as Miss Moroslnl nnd women of their class never think what things cost awl that women of tJie working class are compelled to think constantly of what things cost that the rude awakening is bound to come to all of us some day, perhaps at greater cost than we can afford, unless such women who spend great wealth they have never done Anything to earn begin to think early and soon of the deep injustice under lying our economic and social conditions.Arrested In Connection With Ilecovercd JYom the Central Mine. The body lay In stato from 12 o'clock until 1:30 when the Justices of the United States Supreme court arrived* At 1:30 the doors were closed to the public and United States Attorney General Moody, Chief Justice Fuller and Associate Justices White, Day and Holmes, and United States Court Judge Gray, were admitted to the building. After a private view a procession was formed for the march to Christ church. First came the cavalry in brilliant uniform, on foot In double file, then the flag draped casket, followed by the four Supreme court Justices, who acted as honorary pall bearers, representatives of colonial societies and State and city officials. Affair Are Released— Scranlon, After a Two Days' Sought. Search—The Men Were Both Despite the fact that the Traders' Coal Co. announced positively yesterday that the Keystone colliery, where the riot occurred a few days ago, would recommence operations this itforning the Italians succeeded 'n keeping it Idle. There was no riot, however, as occurred the past two mornings, a detachment of the State Constabulary being on hand to see that order was maintained. The Italians seemed, however, to have attained the end of keeping the colliery from working, by Intimidation, for not enough men offered to go in to make the starting of operations worth while. "At first he said he was standing up doing something with his hat and the boat went over. The next time I talked with him lie said he was standing up trying to reach a pond lily. The third time he said he was walking back toward the stern to talk to the girl when the boat upset. I asked him why he did not go to her assistance. He replied, 'Because I was afraid that she might struggle so that we would both go down.' When asked If he or the girl was to blame for the alleged accident he replied, 'I suppose I am to blame for it.'" Victims of an Explosion of Mine Gas. The steerage passengers on both cteuniers became panic stricken, but the panic was' greater on the Orinoco Women, frenzied with fear, could not be restrained until the boats, which were quickly lowered, had reached the water. Steerage passengers, women and men, Jumped overboard, rtne boat was swamped. Small boats from here picked up several persons, but five pas sengers and three sailors are missing from the Orinoco and seven Injured are in hospital. With the finding of the bodies of Mine Foreman Benjamin Evans and Evan J*. Williams, at an early hour this morning. In the Central mine of the D., L.. & W. Coal Co., at Scranton, the culmination of the mine tragedy which has absorbed the interest of the public for the past few days was reached. A searching party under the direction of District Superintendent Thomas J. Williams discovered the remains of Williams, burnt almost to a crisp, jammed up against the wall of one of the abandoned workings of the mine. The worst suspicions were confirmed, for Williams had lost his life In an explosion of an accumulation of mine gas, and the resulting fire had fed upon his body, until the charred remains presented a horrible appearance as they lay against the wall, with one hand thrown in front of the eyes as though to protect them from the encroaching flames. As the body of Evans was not found until, a few hours later It was hoped at first that he might still be living, but his remains, in a condition similar to those of Williams, were discovered about five feet distant from his companion. The search for the bodies was an exemplary one, carried on against failing hopes that the victims might still exist, and to recover their remains if they were dead. It will be remembered that Evans and Williams went into the mine on Wednesday afternoon to locate a fall of rock which was said to be dbstructing the passage D of air through the chambers. As they did not return that evening a search, which was incessant, was instituted and wag conducted under the direction of General Superintendent Reese A. Phillips. All the veins in the mine were gone through and a large gang of men was placed at work removing a fall of rock With the -idea that it might cover the missing bodies, but it did not, and the search' was taken up with redoubled energy, and with aded incentive. The bodies J»-ere taken from the mine early this morning and convey#! to their homes in the suburbs of Scranton. The first evidence of a settling appeared Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Schneck noticed a large crack in the cellar wall and, toward evening, the door of the saloon could not be opened. Mr. Schneck attributed this latter fact to the weather. Just about 5:45 yesterday afternoon—a clock In the Schneck home stopped at that hour— a decided disturbance of the ground was felt »tnd the double house careenod to one side, causing the tenants to rush out In fear. The effect of the cave was not so noticeable In the home and saloon of Schneck. which Is a now building, with modern Improvements, Including steam heat. The tenants could not be induced to $leep In the house and moved their household effects out. fearing that the building would disappear. The plaster was ripped from the walls and the floor thrown to a decided angle. Mr. Schneck is arranging to have the damage repaired as soon as possible. "Women thus wasteful and extravagant are not—as they do not deserve to be—happy. Women having barely enough clothing to keep them In at least a semblance of self respect are not and cannot be happy. There is not a thing that this woman wears or possesses that Is not produced by labor, and yet labor lives In poverty. Klock admitted that Gillette told him he expected to be married, and he understood the defendant to mean the ceremony was to take place during the Adirondack trip. Expected to Be Married. Christ church Is located In the heart of the business section of the city and as the funeral party slowly marched along the sidewalks there was a general suspension of business. The Italians are credited with having said this morning that they will prevent the resumption of operations until their countrymen who are under arrest on rioting and other charges In connection with the disturbances are released from jail. London, Nov. 28.—At a meeting of the Baptist Missionary society to protest against misrule in the Kongo King Leopold of Belgium was called the devil incarnate. I)r. Fullerton said it was esthnated that nearly 3,000,000 persons hart been done to death there. Another speaker said the Kongo had been a veritable hell and Leopold had been the demon ruling over It. King Leopold Denounced Again Should Learn Source of Money. "I say It Is every woman's duty when she has money to dress as beau tlfully as she can possibly wish to and is doing nothing in real service to earn that money; It Is her duty, I repeat, tc Inquire Into the sources of her wealth— who produced It, under what conditions it was produced, what Is the com pensation to those who produced it and why she who bears uo relation to 11 should have it. Exercl*De» at the Church, Sheriff Richard told of finding the tennis racket hidden behind a log on the road from Big Moose to Eagle bay. Gillette had told him he had placed the racket there, finding it too much trouble to carry. The racket was put in evidence. Several strings are broken. The services in the church were conducted by the Right Rev. Alexander Mackay-Smlth, bishop coadjutor of the Protestant Episcopal church of Pennsylvania. Following the servtces Governor Pennypacker took charge of the exercises and before Introducing the other speakers, delivered a brief eulogy. He was followed by Samuel Dickson of this city, who spoke for the bar of Pennsylvania, and William Draper Lewis, who paid a tribute In the game of the University of Pennsylvania. Then came tributes by Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, who spoke for American literature; Andrew Carnegie, as lord rector of St. Andrew's university, who paid the tribute of Scotch-Americans; Alton B. Parker, on behajf of the American bar; Justice White, for the Supreme court of the United States, and United States Attorney General Moody, who spoke for the nation. Attorney W. H. GUlesple, who has been retained In the case of the Italians arrested for rioting at the Keystone colliery the past few days went into court this morning and applied for a habeas corpus hearing for some of his clients. The hearing will likely take place on Tuesday morning. Ot the 13 men arrested and committed to Jail by Squire Connlff, four are being held to await the result of the Injuries inflicted on Foreman Duffy. These will not be given a habeas corpus hearing. Directly across Barnum street from the Schneck home is the house of Jno. Granahan, which was nearly destroyed by a cave while being built a year ago. Mr. Granahan's family moved Into the dwelling during the present month, and It is being painted now. The cracks In the surface are close to the Granahan home, but It Is not expected that there will be any more caving in that direction. Negro Soldiers Discharged. Attorney Thomas, for the defense, insisted that Sheriff Richard, who had Just been sworn, admit that the racket was not in the same condition as when found, that the handle part had become loosened in the meantime, The state will undertake to show how the handle became loosened by producing expert witnesses who will testify to having made a microscopical examination of all its parts. What these experts discovered the state is concealing, but it will not be a surprise to those who have-been following the case here if proof is offered that blood was found on the racket and that it was the weapon with which "Billy" Brown's head and face were battered. San Antonio, Tex., Nov. 2.1.—Five soldiers, the last but one of the twelve members of the Twenty-fifth Infantry who have been held in the guardhouse since the Brownsville trouble, were discharged without honor at the post headquarters. One man, by special order from the war department, Is being held. No reason Is given In the order for his detention. "Women of Miss Moroslni's class may not bfe aware of the fact thai they are paupers. A pauper is one who either from Inability or unwillingness to support himself Is supported at the expense of the community. The truer pauper of the two, It seems tc me, Is he who can but is unwilling to support himself and is thus thrown up on the shoulders of the community. The State Constabulary Is taking an active part in keeping peace about the colliery. A detail of men are constantly on the scene and a detachment of the troop holds Itself In readiness for an instant response to any call. The condition of Foreman Duffy, who was attacked by the Italians Wednesday is not considered serious and he will be able to be about in a few days. There was no meeting: of common council last evening, as fewer than a quorum of members responded. The following were present: Messrs. McNevin, Carden, Munley, Foy, Earley, Kelly and McCanna. No Moral Right to Wealth. "Any adult who renders no service to the community has no moral right to take any wealth from the community. That the class of Idlers should have so much wealth as to ruin even their own souls in reckless and extravagant living and the class of workers should have barely enough to keep body and soul together is the one crying shame of our so called civilization. SPECIAL NOTICES. Justice White In his tribute referred at length to the work of the constitutional convention and concluded as follows: "As I stand here a participant in these ceremonies commemoratlve of the placing of all that remains of James Wilson to rest In the bosom of the mother who bore bore him—this great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania—my mind turns not to extol his virtues but rather lifts itself up to that all-merciful Ruler who holds in the hollow .of his hand the destinies of people and nations, with the supplication that these ceremonies may enkindle in all our hearts a keener purpose to preserve and perpetuate the government which our fathers gave us." Knowledge on Gillette's part of the girl's deatR before he was arrested apparently was clinched by the evidence of the Rev. Cuthbert Frost of the First Presbyterian church of Lowville, who, with a party, was at the Arrowhead Inn two days after the girl's death. WE WILL HAVE Martin Memlo, board member of the U. M.

Special—Home Killed Chickens lflc FOR DRESSV IE1 "I saw Gillette coming downstairs from his room that evening," said the preacher, "and overheard him ask two men if they bad heard of a tragedy on Big Moose lake in which a young girl had been drowned. I did not hear what reply, if any, was given." So far as the testimony has gone no oue else in Arrowhead Is known to have had knowledge of the young woman's death at that time. Mine Inspector David Williams this morning gave out a statement of how, in his opinion, the accident happened. He said that judging from the position of the bodies and the conditions of the workings the mens had entered the section where the accident occurred with the flreboss in the lead. Williams, who carried a safety lamp, evidently ran into a pocket of gas, and turned to give a warning to his companion, who carried a naked lamp, but too late. Evans was following so closely that he was upon the flreboss before the latter could shout his warning and the blase from his lighted lamp coming In contact with the gas, set It oft, the force of the explosion in turn causing the fall of roof under which the men were burled. lb.
