raphy In preparing without a camera glass transpar-
encies OF sections OF fossils for projection The Pro-
fessor said:-

ysgabonds who infest this region. Their
numbers have been greatly increased during
the past three days. There is no change In
the situation to-day 10 far as the attitude Of
the men is concerned. They still remain
firm to their demands and still preserve the
same orderly and quiet demesnor. There
are no trains running on either road. Tho
news that the Delaware, Lakswanns ana
Western had effected compromise with
their men was expected to result in the run
ming of trains on the Lakawanna ~
Bloomsbury road, but it had no effect on the
Malley men to day.
MEN FORCED OUT OF MINES.
Great excitement was caused here to-day
by the appearance of nearly SIX hundred
miners, who marched to the collieries OF the
Delaware and Hudson Company and ordered :
the men to quit work at once or they wou'o
stop the pumps and fans, which, OF COURSE
forced the men out. All day long tho men
have gathered at the mines in this vicinity,
and It needs no experienced mind to see that
they are growing united and determined IN
their campaign against the companies. Inc
men in the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Col
Company are all out, as are those q me
Delaware, Lakawanna and Western, tne
susouehanns and others in this vicinity.
j AN UGLY THREAT. I'd ,sL3 y
This afternoon the men of the two larg>.
| est collieries belonging to the Lehigh and
Wilkesbarre Coal Company demanded
compliance with their terms-twentJ-hVe
per cent. advance on their old wages-on On
penalty of the abandonment Of the pumTs'
the result of which will be to food the
mines. If the attempt is made to carry out
: this threat some trouble may ensue, as the
D superintendents Of the mines soy that tney
D are prepared to meet any emergency, ano

A PROBABLE MYSTERIOUS MUh-
.... .. DER. .. Us

On Saturday morning about g O'CLOCK
while two boys were going along the snoro
Of the Delaware river, between the Edge
moor Iron Works and DuPont's powder
magazine, they discovered the BODY ois
woman laying upon her face, on the snore'
at high water mark. Without touching
the body, they Immediately gave informs-
tion to the people in the neighborhooe, who >
Immediately sent for Coroner Rose. AniI-
quest was held at noon on Saturday at the
Coroner's Office at Sixth and shipley street
and q verdict of death from an unknown
cause was rendered. otse
Her remains were buried the same after
noon in Pottersfeld by Mr.. Fox the under
taker. ,-. a.t. .,-k.l
Taking all the circumstances, of the case
into view, it looks as if mysterious murder
had been committed. The only clothing
that she had on was chemise and pair OF
stockings, stripped brown, or red and white
the color was hard to determine, from their
being in the water for some time. on Per
marriage finger, wss q plain gold ring'
without any mark, neither were there any
mark upon her clothing. i-io.,A. i.
She was beautifully made woman, o.
about 20 years of age, and in life was OF re-
markable beauty. She was plump wo-
man with black hair, and s feet inches In
height and would weigh probably about 15O
pounds. There is likely to be . deep mys-
tery connected with her fate. The fact OF
her having only two unmarked articles OF
clothing on would seem to indicate that she
was murdered and thrown overheard at .
point at some distance from the scene OF
her death. $500 -aA
Te description which we give OF her, II
published in the Philadelphia paper, might
lead to her Identification, and the discovery
of her fate, it may be within the recollection
of our readers that with almost % faint .
clue, the Elm Station murder was discover
ed and the murderer is now in jail 10 Nor
ristown awaiting trial. 3s
