experienced Swimmers - Two Boys
Drowned Yesterday and the Bodies Of
Three More Recovered.
Notwithstanding the cautionary lectures
that have been printed within the past few
days, the mortality among small boys who
persist in going into the water to swim is
growing rapidly. Since the beginning made
last Sunday there have been upward of q
dozen of such cases in this county. Two
boys were drowned yesterday and the bodies
of three more, drowned the day previous,
were recovered.

RUTAN'S SUIT DISMISSED.

Charges Against EI-Stare Treasurer Boyer
Arc Dropped-The Ex-senator Delirious
and Not Expected to Recover-Woru
Out and Broken Down.
Ex-senator Rutan's charge against ex.
State Treasurer Boyer came up for hear.
ing yesterday morning before Alderman
Mauer in Harrisburg. kilograms from
there declare the case was discontinued.
Ex-senator Herr, Rutan's counsel, an
nounced that Mr.. Rutan was too ill to be
present He produced q certificate from
DR.. GiIliford, of Allegheny, Rutau's family
physician, announcing that the ex-senator
was in a critical condition. In consequence
of this Mr.. Herr did not ask for q continu-
ance of the case.
Lyman d. Gilbert, counsel for Mr..
Boyer, was there with his client and de-
manded to know why the other witnesses
had not been summoned. Mr.. Herr eX-
planned that on account of Rutan's ILL
ness the witnesses were not troubled. The
case was therefore discontinued. Ex-Treas-
urer Boyer said he would still remain a
citizen of this State and if the charges are
made hereafter he will be prepared to meet
them. 1t is believed the charge will not be
re-entered.
Last night an attempt was made to see
ex-senator Rutan at his home on Sheffield
street, Allegheny. His condition was such
that no one but members of the family and
his phys were allowed to see him.
Yesterday afternoon his brother was sent
for hurriedly and it was expected the ex-
Senator was dying, but later he rallied.
When DR.. Clifford was seen last night
he said Nh. Rutan was in q very serious
condition and that his life hangs in the bal
ance. The hopes of recovery are very
slight For several DAYS he has been de-
lirious. The doctor said his patient was
broken down and worn out by overwork. 1t
is believed he will never be able to figure
in politics again.

They Arc En- Route From Liverpool to
This Country.
Mr.. ]. H. Rogers, Chairman of the Tin
Plate Makers Association, and managing
partner of the Soth Wales Works, Llanelly,
and the Cwmbwrul Works, Swansea, sailed
from Liverpool on Wednesday morning for
New York. The object of Mr.. Rogers visit

A SCORCHER IN JUNE.

Tho Extreme Heat Causes . Cessation Of
Work in Mills and Glass Factories
Several Prostrations Reported-A Jury
man Overcome in Court.
Yesterday was q scorcher. That is what
everybody will concede. 1t was the hottest
day this year and many hope it will remain
at the head of the list A light breeze was
going all day and tempered the heat
slightly. Slowly the mercury climbed
toward the top of the thermometer until at
noon it reached 900 Still old Sol was not
satisfied and went 10 better by o'clock in
the afternoon.
Probably the hottest place was on the
Southside, where the thermometer registered
$50 in the shade The heat was terrible in
the mills and glass factories, and the ma
jority of them closed down for the day. At
Jones & Laughlins' Brownsville mills all
the men quit work at noon, except the
men in the steel mill, who con-
tinued their work. d. O. Cunning
nearly half of the blowers quitting work
for the day on account of the heat The
South Eighteenth street factory, of the
Phillips Glass Company, was idle from 8
to 4 o'clock on account of the men refusing
to 60 to work. At the Evans chimney
factory there were 13 off in the morning and
Z more in the afternoon, and some of the
shops had to be closed. The Oliver Iron
and Steel Companv's men quit work dur
ing the afternoon on account of the heat
The puddlers in the A. M. Byers mill only
made half turn and quit work for the
day. The plate mill continued to run all
day. All hands in the Sligo mills quit
work on three heats. The usual turn is five
heats. The same state of affairs prevailed
in all the mills in the two cities
The Court House was SAID to be as hot a.
bake oven during the day, and James
Carver, farmer from Coultersville, who
was serving on the jury, was overcome by
the heat in Criminal. Court. He was at
tended by a physician and was able to be
removed to his home
Several cases were reported of persons be-
ing overcome by the heat on the Southside.

Talking of Father Mollinger's Successor.
It is not yet known who will be named to
succeed Father Mollinger The Bishop will
make the appointment, and Rev. Father
Wall said yesterday that Father Never
will not likely be chosen for the post. Rev.
Father Meyer is Of the Holy Ghost Order,
which Father Wall explains will prevent
his appointment. It is believed that the
disposition of Father Mollinger,s estate
will determine to degree who shall
be his successor. If his sacred
relics are to remain on the Mount
it is said that some one of his former asso-
ciates and assistants will be named to fill
the Office vacated by his death. In that
event, it is said, the work of healing
through the emblems of the Saint will be
continued, and those now awaiting treat
ment will be looked after by the dead
priests successor.
Mount Troy is draped with mourning en-
blems, in memory of its late sage and priest
physician, Father MollingeE

Thirsty Burglars at Burgettstown.

Thirsty burglars broke into the express
Office at 3rrgettstown on the Panhandle
Wednesday night. Their thirst was greater
than their greed, for although the office was
filled with valuable goods, they took only
two of the three kegs of beer in the Office.
A dozen bottles of excellent whisky were not
touched. Several young men about town
who appeared on the streets with swelled
heads yesterday morning were spotted by
the officers, who believe that big head on
a suspect is a valuable clew in such case.

PAINT AND NATUR VI FINISHED HARD
WOOr.


How II j. Frequenty Destroyed, and the
Proper Way to Prevent It
In washing paint or varnish great care
should be taken that the SOAP used contains
no free alkali. The destructive tendency of
ordinary soap is we'll expressed by Theo. N.
Ely, General Superin tendent Motive
Power of the Pennsylvania Railroad, who,
In Il recent order, says, The ordinary COM
mon soap used in cleaning paints and
varnish Is very destructive to the varnish,
dIssolvfng it rapidly. A car cleaned two or
three times with strong soap must be re-
vanished, and in some cases repainted."
Walkers Family Soap has been analyzed
by tn . chemist of the Pennsylvania Rail-
used to wash their cars. This is the soap to
wash your paint, vanished woodwork and
clothes. It costs no more than other soaps.

Personnel of the Gang

And Swallowed by Chicago Detectives
Personnel of the Gang.
The Chicago authorities were warned by
an officer of the French police force, and the
names of the rascals sent on ahead, with
! full descriptions. The men Were "Flash
Fred, Lord Clendenning," BERTHE Martin
C'Oof Bird,"D and DR.. Se9uar. In order to
battle the thieves as to their principal OBJ
iect Mrs Palmer was never out of sight,
or touch, of couple of detectives from the
time she left home until she returned. Be
sides this the ballroom was watched by a
force of detectives.
Instructions to the Detectives.
The officers were ordered to be ready for
any emergency and to frustrate any at
tempt they might make at robbery either
by sneaking, pocket-picking or theft of
valuables from the persons of any OF those
present. Before 10 o'clock Inspector Ross
and Captain Shea both knew that the four
men were in the house, and from that time
on they were closely watched. One officer
was detailed to shadow each of the four
suspects on the elevators from the main
floor to the dining room The close watch
must have alarmed the thieves, for they
all left for parts unknown before next
morning.
The Information Was Reliable
Chief Inspector Ross was seen in his Dri-
vate Office at detective headquarters last
night and detailed the conspiracy set up to
rob Mrs. Palmer in full, the points of
which are given in the foregoing. He was
at first averse to discussing the case be
cause, he said, Mr.. and Mrs Palmer would
object to the notoIiety attending its publi-
cation. my information was entirely re-
liable, nhe said. 'and we knew just whom
to look for and what to expect. For that
reason believe We were able to frustrate
the plans OF those continental confidence
men. 1 am glad we were able to show
them that they could not make easy game
