The River Gives Up The Dead and Clears
Up d Philadelphia Mystery.
The mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance of Banker Joseph G.. Ditman,
of Philadelphia, who was last seen
alive December IL last. was cleared up
on the 26th, by the finding of his decom-
posed and swollen body floating in the
Schuylkill River, under the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad bridge, at Filbert
Street. 1t had apparently just risen
to the surface. The discovery WAS
Philadelphia gas works. The body
was taken on board the police tug and
a search Of the clothing made, which set
tied beyond all doubt the question of
identity. The diamond ring and gold
watch worn by Mr.. Ditman when alive
were found, and in walletin the inside
pocket Of the coat, besides some papers,
was card requesting the finder, in case
of accidental death, to notify James
Pitcher, secretary of the Mutual Acct
dent Association, 800 Broadway, New
York. The card indicated that deceased
was insured in that association for S5,-
600.
On the afternoon of December II
Banker Ditman started out from his
home for drive in Paramount Park.
About dusk park guard found his horse
and buggy in the park, the vehicle be-
ing empty. The reins were broken near
the animals head, and the first impress
sion was that there had been q runa-
way, and that the banker was
thrown from the buggy into the
water. The dragging OF the bottom of
the river was commenced and kept up
for several weeks. Dynamite was also
used, but all efforts to bring the body to
the surface proved unavailiDg. When
found there were no marks &C vio-
lence di c. lible on the body, and
whether it is case of accident or sui
eide will probably never be known.
At the time Of bis disappearance Mr..
Ditman was president of the Quaker
City National Bank.

Wilkesbarre, Pa.
WnKEsBARRE, Pa, Jan. 23.-Plymouth
is in a wild state of excitement. Yes
terday two Lithuanian children were
buried in the Polish cemetery, and in
the afternoon mob OF furious Poles,
headed by Martin Wilkes, and armed
with shotguns, tore open the graves,
dragged out the collins, drove their
picks and drills through them, and
threw the bodies over the fence, out Of
the cemetery.
When Martin Wilkes was sent to Jail
Tuesday, by Aid. Rooney, in default of
$25, GOO bail, with several others active
among the law-defying Polish faction
it was believed there would be no fur
Their violence. Wilkes, however, OBJ
tanned a writ Of habeas corpus, yester-
day morning, on which he was given a
hearing before Judge Woodward. The
bail was reduced to $1,000, which
was promptly furnished, and
Wilkes was set at liberty. he
left the courthouse, and then declared
he would disinter the bodies and throw
them out Of the cemetery. w. ii.

anian faction, obtaine d an injunction
from the court restraining Wilkes froin

them, and nearly everyone in the crowd
had pistol. shotgun or rifle.
The mob started about o'clock for
the Polish cemetery, which is IN the
lower end of the town. The gates had
been broken open by the Lithuanians IN
the morning, when the children were
buried. When the Poles reached the
cemetery it was deserted. They in
stantlv went to work to disinter the
bodies. They had brought along picks
and shovels. In few minutes they
had thrown out the freshly
laid earth, and exposed the two
coffins. It is stated that in their rage
they drove their picks through the COT
fins and the bodies they held. The
collins were then dragged out of the
opened graves, carried to the fence, and
thrown over it into the public highway,
where lnoy were lett lying white tuc
Poles marched off.
AS soon as the news of this outrat
came to the ears of the Lithuanian
they sent committee to this city t,
wait upon Mr.. Hines and see what
could be done.
The two bodies were horribly mutila-
ted by pick-aXes used in breaking
open the collins. Three other collins
were taken out of the graves, but the
bodies were not disturbed.
When armed I.ithuanians arrived on
the scene the Poles fed. There is talk
OF lynch law. Thousands of people
were in the cemetery. The Lithuanians
gathered up the bodies and re-interred
them.
A number'of Poles and Lithuanians,
who took active parts N the riots yes
terday, were arrested this morning and
will be given q hearing before Aid.
Rooneyi this afternoon. The bodies o!
the two children have been reinterred
in the same graves.
