The mangled remains of William Ker-
rigan were found at the foot of the
Won Storch shaft yesterday morning
at 4.30 o'clock by Fire Boss Job Jen-
kins.
kerrigan was engaged to work Sun

and as his dinner pail was found on
an ash dump near the shaft the sup
position is that he fell asleep, and
suddenly awakening made his way to
the shaft, unfastened the gate and
thinking the carriage was up walked
off the landing into the shaft.
The carriage happened to be at the
bottom of the shaft and Kerrigan
plunged down the opening striking
the bonnet of the carriage with such
force as to hur! his body some dis
tance into the gangway, where it was
found by Fire Boss Jenkins.
Kerrigan's plunge must have been
headlong for " hen found his head was
battered to g jelly. The brains were
exposed and the body horrible man
gled. Kerrigan was 23 years of age
and boarded with his sister, Mrs. John
Finnerty, of McDonough avenue. The
remains We're taken to the home of his

sitting on a baggage trunk as uncon-
cerned as could be.

staff recognized him as one of the fell
lows who had stopped him on the car

innocence.
Detective Clifford happened along
just then and identified Shaffer. He re-
sisted all the way to the police station,

Doles, A. l.. Francois and. T. +. Rey-
nolds, the viewers in the case of the
Lehigh Valley Coal company against

The defendant company by right of
eminent domain seized for @, right OF
way a narrow strip of land. 1850 acres
in extent, in Lackawanna township,
belonging to the Lehigh Valley Coal
company. The latter thought $4,000
would be a fair compensation for the
tract, but the Susquehanna company
would not hear to any such figure, and
retitioned court to appoint viewers to
assess the damages
The viewers held a number of meet
ings, inquired carefully into the value
of tho land and heard arguments of
counsel on either side, after which they
came together on Saturday and framed
their report. They say in the report
that the land is unimproved, broken
ground, rocky and filled with lodges
and gullies. The land, they value at
SOL 92 and for the disadvantages re-
sulting to- the plaintiff company from
being deprived of its use they allow
$500, making 81 ,201.9 in all.
Cornelius Comegys represented the
Susquehanna company in the transac-
tion, and the plaintiff company was
represented by O'Brien & Kelly, War

''The Holy One" The other original
members of his community or the "Angei
Dancers have the striking appelations
of John The Baptist" "Silas, The pure -
tie "Prodigal." "The Alabaster," "Angel
Dancer" etc. The farm is run without
the usual accessories of cows, pigs and
chickens, as the residents are vegetar-
ians. Mace Huntsman is remembered in
this city and as not being considered
"bright." Among the citizens who recall
his vagaries is Calvin Seybolt, who hasn't

Huntsman is making a fortune as the
