Young Hill's Body Found.

The body of Joseph Hill, son of Cons
table Hill, of Wilkes Barre, was found
in the Susquehanna river opposite Ply
mouth on Thursday. The finding of the
body clears up the mystery surrounding
his disappearance. On January last,
in company with a girl named Adelne
Pettebone, he went skating ON the river.
Later in the evening Hill and the girl
left their companions and started on a
race down the river. They were never
seen alive after that. Not returning in
due time a search was made for them,
but they could not be found. A runner
was then set afloat that they had eloped.
The finding of Hills body now sets all
rumors at rest. The body was badly de-
composed, but the skates were still on
the feet. 1t is thought the girls body
will soon be found. Hill was Is years of
age and Miss Pettebone was 13.

Preparing for the Parade.

The Knights of Malta of Freeland
have received letters from nearly all the
communicates in this section of the
state, signifying their intention to take
part in the parade here at p. m. on
May Z, in honor of the state convoca-
tion of the grand commandery. There
will be several thousand Knights in
line, providing the weather is favorable
Reduced rates on the Jersey Central,
Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania and the
Reading Railroads have been secured
from all points in the state, and the
number of visitors expected is very large.
In the evening the public reception to
the supreme and grand officers will take
place. Burgess Mclaughlin will deliver
the address of welcome, which will be
followed by musical and literary en-
tertainment, including addresses by Su-
preme Commander DIR. w. J. Rugh, of
Pittsbulg; Supreme Recorder Frank
Gray, of Philadelphia; Grand Command
er DR.. E. w. Samuel, of Mt. Carmel,

The Early Inquest.

The jury that was appointed by Depu-
ty Coroner German to investigate the
cause of Constable Early's death, whose
body was found in mine hole at Har-
wood, held another session last Thurs
day night. Evidence of no special in
terest was introduced, and Early's
friends requested that the inquest be
continued until today, when they ex-
pect to produce testimony that will
conclusively prove that the officer was
foully dealt with. The indifference OF
the county officials in concerning them
selves so little about this and other mys-
terious tragedies in the lower end is
causing much talk. District Attorney
Fell has been asked, it is said, to give
the matter some attention, but so far
nothing has done. County Detective
Eckert spent two days in Hazleton since
the body was found, but he made no ap-
parent effort to unravel the mystery.

Saved Life, But Lost Her Own.

Annie Dungarbage, thirteen-year-
old girl, met dreadful death on Friday
while saving the life of her ten-month-
old sister at her home in Wilkes
Barre. The mother, who was wash
ing, took a tub of scalding water from
the stove and placed it on the floor. She
was then called out by neighbor and
told Annie to watch the baby. The girl
went on with her work and was only
reminded of the baby when it screamed
with pain. She was Mortified to find il
hanging over one side of the tub with its
hands in the water. In an instant she
dashed across the room, and throwing
herself on the opposite side of the tub
reached across and pushed the baby
backward to the floor, but at the same
time she lost her balance and fell for
ward, face downward, into the water
Her mother, attracted by the cries ot
the baby, hurried in and pulled the gir
out of the water, but she was so badly
scalded that she died few hours later

Condition of the Coal Trade/

The sales agents of the anthracite
coal carrying and producing companies
held their monthly conference at New
York on Thursday. 1t was supposed
that most of them went to the meeting
instructed by their companies as to the
course they should pursue in the mat
ters of continued restrictions and the
general conduct of the business in the
future. However, the agents spent sew
eral hours in conference and then ad-
journed without action, except an
agreement to meet again tomorrow
Immediately after the meeting the
Lehigh and WilkesBarre Company
ordered all its collieries to work full
time until further notice. Unless the
company has special orders to fill the
order must mean that there is another
war brewing. While not much atten-
tion has been paid to restriction of late,
still actual hostilities have been in a
state of suspended animation. No doubt
the position of the Reading is bringing
on u crisis.

One Killed and One Injured.

The monotonous story of the cost of
mining coal still goes on. Another life
went out at Cranberry on Friday and
another man was incapacitated from
work for several weeks. William Dugan
and William Weaver prepared a blast
and sought safety in heading of their
breast. The concussion loosened the
roof of the heading and it came down
upon both men. Weaver was severely
injured, but will recover. Dugan's body
was found after ten hours work. He
was dead
