the majority of them are contented. a
search was Immediately begun for the
| truants. That night the boys beat about
| tho outskirts of the town and finally went
| to the Central-Hudson freight yard, where
| they huddled together in a box car and
| slept as best they could. Thew tramped
about all of the next day, and Wednesday
night the waits slept on the ground further
east on the entral-Hudson-they knew
not where. Thursday morning they we're
| sick and di sheartened. A tramp whom
they met on the tracks told them that
il they continued eastward constable
would arrest them. Pitt said that he
would be glad if he was arrested. He
was sick and hungry. All were dIscour-
aged and decided to abandon the idea of
reaching Canada. They thought of re-
turning to Utica, but instead turned into
the country toward the north. Pitt has
| little to tell about their wanderings after
| that. Time and place and distance be-
| came confused. They were so badly ia
| tigued that it was with difficulty they
| dragged themselves along. They came to
a road and followed it northward. Soon
they arrived at the end of it. Then they
turned into the fields and attempted to
return across the lots. Tho road over
which they travelled is a lonely one. 1t is
rarely that there is a house, and with
nothing to guide them they were
| soon lost in the fields. Their exhaustion
and weakness increased, the pangs of
hunger became sharper. Then they de-
SPARED and we're terror stricken. Finally
they went into piece of woods and lay
down beside large stump. All had now
begun to realize the situation keenly, but
their strength was too far gone and they
| could not save themselves. Pitt took off
| his coat and placed II over his exhausted
| companions as they lay on the ground.
| They implored him to keep it. Pitt real
| lied that they were dying, but did not
| know where to look for help. He told
| Tom and Joe to pray, and they took their
rosaries from their pockets. The beads
were found beside them yesterday morn
| ing. Buck was lying on his face and Err
miner lay across his body. When their
hearts had ceased to beat Pitt arose and
staggered on. He fell every minute. At
last be reached barn, crept in and lay
down in a horse stall. Then he knew no
more until he awoke in the house of Byron
| Christman.
1t was late Thursday afternoon that the
boys died. and Pit let himself into the
barn. Undertaken O'Reilley brought the
bodies from Herkimer TO Utica last night.
Buck has two sisters, who are in st.
| Johns Orphan asylum, besides his
mother, Mrs. Phillips, who lives at II
| Washington street.
| Pitt has entirely recovered from his
drowsiness. and to-day is bright and COM
Portable. He is getting back his strength
rapidly, and in few days will be none
the worse, physically, for his ter rible ex-
perience. As he lay on his cot to-day
talking with reporter his face was a
picture of health. It is now certain that
no amputations will be necessary despite
his long exposures.
The funeral of his two companions was
| held at o'clock this afternoon in the
chapel of the school.-J'ticd, ". \.

Telling Their Rosaries in the Shelter of
of the Woods.
William Pitt. the companion of the two
boys who were frozen to death in the
woods near Herkimer, is improving. He
has been returned to St. VIncent's Indus
trial school, and is in the infirmary of tho
institution. DIR. Bergen attends him. lie
is very weak from exhaustion, but the doc
tor thinks that his legs are not so badly
frozen that amputation will be necessary.
The experience of the three orphans,
tho herosm of the survivor, their blind
devotion to one another, and their trust
in God when their chi dish minds were
imbued with the thoughts of the terrible
death that was coming, is extremely
pathetic.
St. Vincent's Industrial school is a
Catholic institution under the supervs-
ion of Christian Brothers. Boys of Catho-
lie parentage arc receiv ed from any point
in the state, and at present there are
about $50 lads IN the big home. Boys
who are blessed with the love of happy
parents and the pleasures of good homes
are often impelled Ivy the love of adven-
lures to run away. Ii is not strange then
that among POO boys there should be
found few daring lads who were anN-
ious to paddle their own canoes. These
three boys, William Pitt, Joseph Erminer
and Thomas Buck. conceived the idea
that they would be happy in Canada and
they resolved TO slip out of the school
and Journey on foot to the north country.
They little realized the folly of their
course. but watched for an opportunity TO
Get away. Tues lay they tore the maps of
Canada from their biographies, purloined

assembled in tine dormitory TO retire. \

In 1854 Pat Monogue appeared at the
mines at Moore's Flat, Cal, and for
three years was \ miner, in no respect
distinguished from the other MIXERS,
except that he was more moraf- and
conscientious than most II them. He
saved money and wene to Paris. to the
Seminary OF st. snlrice. He came
back priest, and was assigned to-
Virginia City. which was then a roar

body saint, he showed himself to be
Q man Of heroic and sanity mold, and
It would have gone hard with any one
who harmed him. Then he was made
bishop Of Sacramento, and when he
died the other day many . gutter loaf

him shed tears for the first time In
