GHOULs AT WORK.

An Attempt To steal the BODY of the
Recent Niagara Fails Sulclde-The
Supposed CroniR Murderer-A Be-
lief That There We're Fears That the
Body Might He Identified.
NIAGARA FALLS, July 15.-The usual
Sunday quiet of the village of Drummond-
vile, Ont, was disturbed at an early hour
yesterday in manner that only seems to
deepen the mystery surrounding the body
found in the whirlpool on June 81, and the
letter found on the Third Sister Island on
June T. It is believed that the writer of the
letter and the body are identical, because in
the letter the writer said that he intended to
commit suicide after removing everything
from him by which he could be identified,
and when found the body was nude, with
the exception of black checked necktie.
The writer also intimated that he had aided
in the murder of DR.. Cronin, and, in fact, 1t
seemed as though the letter had been writ
ten by q conscience stricken man.
At about midnight Saturday night William
Wright, a prominent citizen of Drummond-
Vile, while hurrying along past Drummond
Hill cemetery, saw man little distance off
hard at work digging into a grave. The
thought of ghouls entered his head and he
started to run. He had not gone far when
he met his neighbor, Parnell Wybrs, home
ward bound, and he told him what he had
seen. Together they picked their way back,
but they were just in time to see man of
large frame running away. They went and
aroused the sexton, VIM. Dalton, who armed
himself, and together they made an exami-
nation. Their investigation revealed the
fact that the grave an effort had been made
to enter was that containing the body found
in the whirlpool. Close beside the grave was
a new shovel and an extremely large sack.
The use it was intended to put the sack to is
apparent.
1t is very evident that some one is DESTROYS
to take the body away, fearing, perhaps, that
it will be exhumed.

EDIsON,S LATEST INVENTION.
A Patent Ore Separator That Will
RaYoIulionfZe Iron Ore Mining.

A Patent Ore Separator That Will
Revolutionize Iron Ore Mining.
READING, July 15.-Thomas A. Edison has
been stopping at the village of Bechtellsville
for the last week. His attest invention is a
patent ore separator, which is predicted to
revolutionize iron ore mining. The present
mode of separating the ore from the earth
and rock is an expensive one. The working
of the new invention is explained in this way:
The rock containing the ore after passing
through the crusher and being broken into
pieces is conveyed in small buckets into a
hopper From here it Sits in thin stream
down an incline, passing within few inches
of powerful magnet. This latter is so
heavily charged as to draw the iron ore from
it's course into one channel, permitting the
rock and other foreign elements contained in
the ore to pass through runway to the
refuse pile. The invention being patented,
there is no secret about its working. MIR.
Edison is accompanied by number of New
York capitalists. There is every reason to
believe that the invention will prove a sue

Perplexing Questions Before the
Treasury Department Regarding the
Alien Contract Labor Law.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 15.-R. NJ.
Thomas of Missouri and 81. S. Willis of New
Hampshire, formerly postoffice inspectors,
have been reinstated under a modified civil
service rule.
The comptroller of the currency to-day
authorized the Winnisimet National bank of
Chelsea, Mass, to begin business with a cap
ital of 100000.
A number of perplexing questions have
been presented to the treasury department in
regard to the enforcement of the alien con-
tract labor law so far as it applies to persons
employed in this country, but who reside
just across the Canadian and Mexican bor-
ders. Complaint has been lodged against
an officer of bank in Vermont near the
Canadian border line who has his residence
in Canada. He has crossed the border line
for forty years. It is charged that his en-
ployment is in contravention to the contract
labor law. Complaint has also been made
against the practice of allowing Mexican and
Canadian laborers to enter Uuited States ter
ritory for days work. The matters are all
under investigation.

HEAVY STORMS.

Devastation In Maryland Caused by
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Lives Thought
TO Have been LOst-Ereat Damage to
Crops and Bridges.
BALTIMORE, Nd, July 15.-Several lives
are reported lost, cattle drowned and farm
buildings and crops destroyed by storm
that swept over Baltimore, Horford and Car
roll counties Saturday afternoon. The rain
fall was the heaviest on record and reports
tell of heavy washouts along the Maryland
Central railroad and other lines. Farmers
who witnessed the destructive downpour OF
water called it cloudburst In less than
five minutes every stream was raging flood,
sweeping away bridges and flooding the farm
lands. Moore's Run bridge, small struct-
ure on the Philadelphia road, was carried
away. George Lingfelder, a. farmer, and his
wife, who lived just east of the stream, are
reported to have been swept away with the
bridge.
A large number of the market people were
coming in by the Philadelphia road just as
the storm broke. Two wagons were going
down hill to cross the bridge over Moore's
Run. Mrs. Otto Seiffert was in the first
wagon, and, seeing the creek was greatly
swollen by the storm, she attempted to cross
the bridge before 1t was swept away. The
water came down tho ravine with such force
that it swept away her wagon. She was
thrown from her seat and began
to struggle to get back in the
wagon. The stump of tree floating in the
the wagon, and seeing large overhanging
limb she grasped it and chung to it for safety.
George Kline was in the wagon behind Mrs.
Seiffert and seeing his danger he whipped his
two mules, trying to urge them past the first
wagon and beyond the waters rush, but he
did not succeed, and seeing the waters lifting
his wagon off the road he took out his knife,
cut the traces and harness from his mules
and jumped on the back of one, but the
water swept him from the mules back and
he was carried down toward the tree where
Mrs. Seiffert was hanging. He grasped a
branch and the two hung there Both were
rescued. In a few minutes fifteen bridges
in the flooded district were destroyed. The
losses in Baltimore county are estimated at
over $1,000.
