THE CORPSE LAUGHED.

L. II. Guthrie Thought 1t Was Great Joke
to Be Buried Without Being Present at
the Funeral-Peculiar Case OF Mistaken
Identity.
The mangled body of a man was found on
the railroad near Johnstown last Thursday.
On his person were Catholic prayer book
and a time book with the name of
luth H. Guthrie, Pottsville, Pa, entered.
,ames NJ. Guthrie, 419 Washington street,
'ottsville, was notified. His son Luther
I'd last been heard from at Bellefonte, but
,me time had elapsed since his last letter.
trs. Guthrie started at once for Johnstown
nd arrived there on FRIDAY. After view
ng the remains she was almost satisfied.
There was scar on the back of the head, q
mark on the forehead, the same depression
in the chest peculiar to the Guthrie
family, the under lip thin and
upper lip short. The face had been
badly crushed, but. the remaining eye
was of the same color as her sons. The
only thing that puzzled Mrs. Guthrie was
some tattooing on his arm which was not
there when he left home. The editor Of the
Bellefcnte Ne,rs was then wired, as young
Guthrie had worked there He fully iden-
titled the young man by the description,
even to the tattoo on the arm. This satisfied
Mrs. Guthrie and she took the body to
Pottsville where it was buried from the
family residence on Sunday.
On Monday Mrs. Guthrie was very much
surprised to receive letter from her son
dated Pittsburg, March 26. 1t started with
my Darling Mother" inquired lovingly
after the other members of the family, why
he had not heard from them, and was writ
ten ON letter head of the keystone Hotel.
A telegram was sent asking the
young man to come home and ex-
planning that be had been buried
the day before. To this young Guthrie
paid no attention whatever, treating the
whole thing as joke. The idea that he
should be buried in Pottsville and at the
same time be walking about the streets of
Pittsburg, struck him as being verv fnnny.
N. S. Snyder, proprietor of the keystone
Hotel next received a message from the
distracted parents, inquiring for their sons
address. He at once made inquiries of
Guthrie, who told MIN the story. After
some persuasion Guthrie left on Tuesday
night for his home.
Guthrie had explained that he had lost
his prayer and time books, and that they
had probably been found by the unfortunate
who had been buried for him. The ques-
tion now is, who is the unknown who was
buried last Sunday under the name of Luth
H. Guthrie.

young man, have lived together on Mar
shall avenue, Allegheny. The mother was
an invalid and had great hopes that her son

his senior and not to his mothers liking.

her bed. Young Mrs. Stevenson was to
nurse her, but did not do it.

her by the hair from the room. When She
got her out into the hallway she beat her
and forced her out of the house.
Humane Agent O'Brien was notified and

MONEY.

The SIMPLY Continues to Increase, and
Looming Rates Remain at IL to 4 Per
Cent Per Annum.
Broadstreet's for the week ending
July lG, says:
''The absence of any decided in.
quiry, either from speculative or mer,
cautile interests, combined with the
removal of fear regarding the Stewart
Silver bill, have been reflected in the
renewed ease OF the New York loan
market. The most tangible influence
was the temperance in the market
of institutions and private lenders who
for ten days previously had manifested
conservative disposition and with,
held their funds. This was particu.
iarIy noticeable in connection with
time loans, the supply of money in
that connection being again much in
excess of current demands, causing a
renewal of the tendency to make con-
cessions in regard to figures and
bringing the nominal rates down to
y q 3 per cent. for thirty or ninety
days and 3 q 1 per cent. for four to
