STILL A DARK MYSTERY.
The Coroner Begins an Investigation Into
the Death of Miss TObin.

The Coroner Begins an Investigation Into
the Death of Miss Tobin.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE D1sP ArcH.l
NEW YORK, May 16.-The inquest on
the body of Miss Mary E. Tobin, which was
found in the water off Clifton, was begun by
Coroner Martin Hughes tonight. DR..
Robinson had sufficiently recovered from
his attack of rheumatism to be present with
his son. His aspect was that of a
man who had much to reveal and
was biding his time. DR.. Bryan,
the young physician who is said to have
been engaged to the dead girl, and who con-
sistently denied himself to reporters to-day,
was also present and. seemed to be in
a serious mood. His testimony was in
many respects the most important of the
evening, dispelling as it did the mystery OF
DIR. Robinson's index book and settling
affirmatively the truth of the report that
DIR. Bryan was engaged to marry Miss
Tobin.
1t was reported in Clifton tonight that
DIR. Bryan had become engaged to young
lady we'll known on Staten Island, and that
this news was broken to Miss Tobin just be-
fore her death.
DR.. S. A. Robinson, the employer of the
dead girl, is man of high, sound standing
and important business interests. In addi-
ton to .his position he is concerned in the
management of large trustestates.
A dispatch from FraDklin says that the
relatives of the dead k1rl are much affected
by her sad fate, andRill use every effort to
unrayel the mystery,

Victory for the Latter.
BERLIN, May 16.-A compromise is being
arranged between the miners and their en-
ployers, and it is expected the men will re-
sumo work everywhere on Tuesday. In re-
ceiving the Westphalia mine owners to-day
Emperor William made long speech, in
the course of which he said:
After hearing both sides, it would seem that
the main point, in view of the widespread in
jury done to the whole population, and having
regard especially to the probable outbreak of a
series of strikes in Slesia, is to end as soon as
possible the strikes in Westphalia. I con-
veyed my views on this subject to the work.
men with severe plainness. The work
men have made a good impression
upon me by having held aloof from all
Westphalia announce that my words have
found favorable hearing. The healthy, patri-
otto feeling shown by the worknen's delegates
inspires me with confidence that they will do
all In their power to bring their comrades back
to work as soon as possible.
I urgently advise the mining companies to
maintain henceforth as close touch as possible
with the vorkmen. would ask that care be
taken to give the workmen chances to formu-
late their wishes, much desire to bring the
dispute to a favorable issue. 1t must ever be
borne in mind that companies employing great
numbers OF workmen have duty to perform
to the State. They must use every effort to
provide for the welfare of the men. What
ABOVE all must De aVOlueu IS the Placing OF Ine
population of q whole province in such difficult
ties as have attended the present strike.
After the audience delegates of the min
ers met Herr Hammacher, member of the
Reichstag, who acted as representative of
the mine owners. A prolonged conference
was held, which resulted in the acceptance
of basis of settlement The working day
is to be fixed at eight hours, exclusive of
time occupied in descending and ascending
the pits; compulsory overtime is to be abol-
1shed except in cases of extreme urgency
previously arranged for between the mas-
ters and the men, and, finally, wages are to
be increased in accordance with local cir
cumstances

One of Them Narrowly Escapes Being
Lynched by a Chicago Mob.
CHICAGO, May 16.-Another horror on
the Yerkes street car lines followed close to-
night upon the long series of accidents and
apparent indifference to the public inter-
ests, which eliminated last evening in the
shocking death of bride in the presence of
her husband and the narrow escape of the
gripman from lynching at the hands of an
infuriated mob. Tonight a southbound
State street car containing dozen Dassen-
gers was stopped on the rivers brink barely
in time to save the human freight. The two
horses went over into the stream, 20 feet be-
low.
The passengers realized the danger only
when it was past, but then fled panic
stricken. A long grade descending toward
the draNbridge, which has long been a
menace, was the chief cause of the narrowly
averted catastrophe. The driver coming
down the grace to the river failed to notice
that the bridge was about to turn. Only by
sheer good luck did he manage to prevent
plunging the car, himself and the passen-
gers after the horses into the. filthy stream.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsrATcH.i
NEW YORK, May 16.-In the New York Yacht
Club tonight ex-Commodore James d. Smith
Chairman of the Americas CupICommittee,
announced that, having been unable to get
quorum Of the committee together for three
days, he would now read Lord Dunraven's let
ters, sent to the committee last Monday. Lord
Dunraven discusses the points in dispute,
acceding to the American conditions, but
in his letter to Secretary Oddie, says:
II certainly vas under the impression that, by
your cablegram of the 11th of April, my
challenge had been accepted on the conditions
governing the Volunteer-Thistle match, and
trust there is no misunderstanding on the
point that can possibly give rise to any compli-
cations"
Lord Dunraven's courteous communication
was much praised. and there were very few in
clined to find fault withit. tits Just as told
you," said an English member. "He did not
expect to have the Volunteer put,against him,
but he has got boat that isn't afraid to sail
against her or anything else within the limit
called for by the deed Of gift"

MORRIS AND CONWAY.

They Return Home and Expect to be All
Right Shortly.
Morris and Conway returned home yest@day
They talk somewhat philosophically about their
being laid off without pay. During a conversa-
ton Morris said:
"When can't pitch, of course they have a
right to lay me off. 1 only wish was in shape.
1t makes me feel mad to think that here is our
chance to get to the top, and we have but one
pitcher in form. We have good club, a crowd
of winners. l hope, when 1 am in shape, to
make up what lost if I have to pitch my arm
off, Nobody is more sorry than am that am
not in shape. I pitched during miserable
weather in Chicago. and was wet through, but
think might have won the game had be en-
kept in"
Morris expects to join the club on Monday.
Conway has nothing harsh to say about his u.s.
pension. He expects to be all right as soon as
the weather becomes warm.

CURED OF CATARRH.

MIR. GEORGE LAMBERT, who lives on
Jones avenue, this city, near Twenty-seventh
street, has been cured Of very bad case OF
Ncatarrh by the physicians of the Polypathic
Medical Institute, No. 20 Penn avenue. When
he applied for treatment he complained Of
much soreness in his lungs, ,shortness of breath,
a choked up feeling in his throat, with much
dryness; the catarrhal secretion that he raised
from his throat and lungs was very tough and
tenacious; his eyes were weak and troubled
him very much about reading or seeing OBJ
jects distinctly. The disease also extended to
his stomach, so that he had great PAIN alter
eating. On account of his food souring on
his stomach he had much belching of gas, and
was so bloated that his heart would frequently
palpitate, and gave him so much pain that he
thought he had heart disease. After becoming
cured, as above stated, he says:
81 am very glad to give my testimonial, and
shall always speak in praise OF the doctors to
my many friends for curing me of this dread
full disease, and ! cheerfulIy recommend all
others suffering from chronic diseases to call
on these specialists, who will frankly tell you
what they can do fer you.
GEORGE LAMBERT"

Secretary Scandrett Lays Hold of Hrumm
and Beam.
The officials of the local club have COM
menced earnest efforts to secure some new
pitchers. The somewhat sudden way in which
the star twirlers of the team have been dis
abled has caused CONSERVATION all around and
it seems that the team will not stop its down.
ward course until it reaches the bottom of the
list.
Secretary Scandrett. however, signed AL
Krumm, the Southside pitcher, yesterday
afternoon, and visited Latrobe last evening to
sign young Beam, the phenomenal pitcher of
that vicinity. The two young men will leave
for New York at once, as their services are
sadly needed. Staley and Maui are weak
ening and they have done well
under the circumstances. Beam in a
recent game struck out "a men, and in four
games only five hits have been made off his de-
livery. 1t may be that he is a wonder. 1t is to
be hoped he is. Krumm is strong and speedy
pitcher and has done good work in the various
clubs of the vicinity.
Calvin is not likely to be able to pitch until
the club returns. His foot is still considerably
swollen.
