bart's Secretary.

The death of a prominent Welshman,
well known in this city, where he had
a number of relatives and many
friends, was made known here last
night in the following dispatch to The
Tribune:

er of the private secretary of Vice Prcsl-
dent Hobart. DR.. Evans had filled the

church work in both places. His next
charge was at Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
where he was serving a church when
he was taken sick, about two years
ago.
DISCOURAGING REPORTS.
Believing that trip to his native
home would be beneficial, he went
there, but discouraging reports have
been received here from time to time
regarding his health, and his demise
is not a surprise, although regretted
by hundreds of people in this city.
During his illness he has been cared
for by his wife and sister. His father,

months ago.

preachers, among whom were his
brothers, Gwyliam and Thomas, and
another brother, who died shortly after
his final preparation to enter the min

AN UNPARALLELED DISPLAY.
Buffalo Bill and His Rough Riders of
the World,

1t is an aggregation of the peculiar
and distinct representatives of the ro-
mantle and picturesque classes of hu-
manity. Real Indians, red-skin war
riors will ride side by side with real
scouts Of actual Indian warfare. The
series of spectacles presented in the
Wild West show form a living panor-
ANA, reproducing the romances Of life
in the pioneer past.
The auditor of AN Imaginative spirit
can conceive himself an actual witness
of the thrilling events which strongly
mark the history of the march Of CIV
ilization in the far West. Indians
brilliantly colored and richly feath-
cred, dash across the arena on their
swift and hardy ponies, repeating their
war-whoops. Cowboys and Vaqueros
sweep to and fro, lasso and shoot,
and ride as they only can. The Wild
West show, in short enables the spec
tator to clearly realize those scenes
and characters in the incessant war
fare between white and redskin in the
early days. Buffalo Bill, the most gal
liant cavalier Of all of them, has a
most striking personality. He Is a
splendid specimen of handsome, Wig
orous and skillful Anglo-Saxor who
has emerged with honor and glory from
the most trying tests possible for man
IT, endure.
The representations and incidents of
Indian and Cowboy life lead up to the
equally stirring attractions of the con-
gress of rough riders of the world
and the great International Martial al
hance. which form an important ad-
junct to the Wild West exhibition.
Among the rough riders ara the Gau-
chos from the Argentine Republic, Cos
sacks from the Russian steppes, Bed
ouin Arabs from the desert of Africa,
and the Vaquero of Mexico. In the
display of trained military achieve
ment will appear detachments from the
crack, regiments of Germany, Russia,
England and both the cavalry and ar
tillery of the United States, making
the entertainment the grandest COM
bination Of horse and horsemanshp
and all that pertains thereto possible
to conceive.
This great aggregation will appear
here on Friday Of next week.

AGED DETECTIVE LEE.
just as Young as He Used to BE Some
Fifty.fiye Yenrs AgO.

Detective owen Lee was born in some
hamlet where big timber is raised in
the year 1912, A. d. He is still big and
brawny and uses his tonnage as a
police protector of the Jersey Central
pay car.
Yesterday at 4.3O o'clock the car was
shedding sun shine to the Central en-
ployes and 1t stood near the station,
on West Lackawanna avenue. Two
tramps got into a fistic discussion on
the station platform and it behooved
Detective Lee to interfere. His coat
was torn, his face was cut, his trousers
ripped at the knee, but he finally had
the victory. He escorted one of the
tramps to the station house; the other
escaped.

ACCOUNTING DEATH
FROM HYDROPHOBIA
Dreaded Disease Kills Jesse Coles, a
North End Boy.
SNAPPED AND SNARLED LIKE A DOG
Young Coles Was Bitten by n Hound
Pup Last March--Other Members
of the Family Who were Bitten at
That Time Saw the Boy Die Last
Night--Three Men Necessary to Re-
strain Him.

After many hours endurance of one
of the worst agonies known to human
suffering - hydrophobia 16-year-old
Jesse Coles. son of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
II. Coles, of Leggetts street, died at IL
O'Clock last night. While he was dying
the unfortunate boy snapped and
snarled and struggled to free his limbs
from the grasp of three men, who
held him to the bed. Around him were
his father and mother and the other
members of the family, three of whom
had also been bitten by the same dog
that caused the death of Jesse Coles
The wound was inflicted last March
by a young hound, a pup and a house
hold pet, Young Coles wound was
uron the right hand. 1t was not of
a dangerous appearance, although it
was known at the time that the hound
showed symptoms of hydrophobia. The
three other members of the family
were bitten the same day.
The wound on young Coles hand
healed and nothing more was thought
of 1t until Thursday morning when
Mrs. Cloe noticed a peculiar look on
her sons face. His eyes glared with
a strange light; his mind seemed to
waver, and he complained of head
ache Still it was not thought neces-
sary to summon a physician.
PHYSICIAN SUMMONED.
At o'clock yesterday morning the
family was awakened by the groans of
Jesse. He was in bed and when Mrs.
Coles reached the lad he was restlessly
tossing about and moaning. His lips
were Immediately wet. DR.. Bessey was
called in. The physician Immediately
announced the case to be hydrophobia.
DR.. Lackey and DR.. McGreavy were
summoned and the three physicians did
all thar was in their power to battle
the disease, and afterward, when death
was certain, to alleviate the boys suf-
fering. The torture was terrible. The
boy snapped at his friends and during
the latter hours frothed at the mouth
and barked piteously. When water
met his eye the boy shrank from it in
fear.
At 1.30 p. m. yesterday he lost con-
sciousness and at last fell back from
the exhaustion of his struggles. The
spectacle of the family who themselves
had been bitten by the hound, watch
ing the dying Of a brother in an agony
which might come to them, was a ter
rible tragedy to the friends in the
room.
The physicians have now turned their
attention in an effort to prevent the
appearance of the disease in the other
members. Grave fears are expressed,
as the strain on the death watchers
may prove a goad to the disease.
The funeral arrangements for the de-
ceased boy had not been completed last
night

FOUR BOYS MAKE
A CHASTITY FIND
Discover a Playmate's Dead Body Below
Roaring Brook Dam.
DROWNED BENEATH THE FALLS

Dennis Cranes Arm Caught Between
Logs When He Fell from the Dam
and He Was Held as in n Vice to

aPoor Woman with Three Children.
Coroner Longstreet Looks Into
the Case.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-07-24

A CHASTITY find was made by a party
of boys while bathing in the Roaring
Brook dam, on the South Side, early
last evening. One of the boys in div
ing off the dam came in contact with
a human body. 1t was with difficulty
brought to the surface and found to
be the remains of Dennis Crane, 10
years of age. one of the four children
of Mrs. Kate Crane, a poor woman,
of 40s South Washington avenue.
Patrick Ruddy, owen Malta, James
Gallagher and James Jones were the
lads who found the body. Ruddy dis
covered it's presence under the falls
at the center of the dam and several
feet beneath the surface He communi-
Gated his gruesome find to his compan-
ions and all four Immediately began
an effort to recover the body.
Their task was not easy One arm
was tightly wedged between two logs
below where the water tumbles over
the dam. After few moments of tug
ging the arm was freed from the vice
Of death and the body towed to the
shore, where 1t was recognized as that
of young Crane.
The little fellow had been missing
from his home, only a block away,
since noon. At o'clock he had asked
younger boy, named Williams, to
go in swimming. The latter declined
That was the last seen of the Crane
boy alive. 1t is presumed he entered
the water about that time only to
meet his death a few moments later.
SLIPPED AND FELL.
The water is not a foot deep where
it pours over the edge of the dam into
the pool below, but 1t rushes swiftly
Crane was probably walking along the
top of the dam and slipped, falling be-
meath the falls, where his arm was
wedged by the force of his descent be-
tween the two logs. There he was
clutched in a cruel grip until death
ended his agonizing struggles for re-
lease
The dam is in one of the most thick
ly populated sections OF the South Side
and is a favorite swimming resort for
the boys of the neighborhood. They
usually choose the evening hours for
the sport, owing to the proximity of q
large number of dwellings.
Young Crane was an inmate of St.
Patrick's orphanage until the first of
the month, when his mother, whose
husband has left her, secured his re-
lease. She intended to have him en-
joy the Fourth of July and then return
him to the orphanage. The institution
was full when she tried to secure his
re-admission, two weeks ago. She has
three other children, two girls and a
boy, aged II, and years.
Coroner Longstreet was notified of
the drowning early i'm the evening He
visited the scene and found a large
crowd of morbidly curious people near
the dam and surrounding the body,
which was covered with a blanket. The
coroner gave Undertaken Cusick per-
mission to remove the remains and i'm
panneled the following jury: L. B.
Duhigg, j. w. Brown, Bernard Thies,
D. T. Boland, Daniel Colbert and Pat
rick Cusick. They will meet at the
coroner's office this evening at o'clock.
