Miss Maggie Lotus, of MoOsic, re-

which the first shot was fired in this

The letter says that the Spanish feet

quartermaster. 1t is believed however,
that the splendid National Guard rec
ord of Major MillaEsnd the efforts to
be made in his behalf by Senators quay
and penrose, Congressman Large
Grow and others will result in the ap-
pointment.
Major Millar would of course be as
sistant quartermaster with the Third
brigade Of the First division Of the
Second army corps. His rank would
be that OF captain. The duties of a
regular army assistant quartermaster
correspond to those of a brigade quar-
termaster in Pennsylvania National

"The dead body of a man. with blood
flowing freely from a large wound in
the right side of the body, was the
ghasty sight witnessed by Thomas
Mitchell watchman at the Fernwood
Acollery, while passing in the vicinity
of that breaker Mt an early hour this
morning" said the Pittston Gazette Of
last evening.
The body lay face upward, along
side of the road, near the house Of
John Moore, which is about midway
between the Chapman and Fernwood
mines. Beside the body lay a small
section of the woodwork of n gun, which
probably was the weapon that caused
the mans death. Though a search was
made, no further trace of the gun could
be found.
"A Gazette representative visited the
spot where the body was found short
ly before - o'clock today, and though
the remains were discovered early this
morning, they were still lying where
they had been found when the reporter
arrived there. From appearances the
man had been dead several hours when
found.
BODY IDENTIFIED.
During the morning hours, Jerry
Houston, of Avoca, arrived on the
scene and identified the body as that
of his brother, John Houston, whom,
he said, he had not seen for about three
months. He said his brother was about
forty years of age and unmarried. He
understood that his brother. with two
other brothers. Patrick and Anthony,
had been working in the Pickaway
mine, and were keeping bachelors
quarters in that vicinity.
Inquiry among the residents near
the Boston mine revealed the informa-
ton that the dead man. in company
| with an unknown man, had been seen
| in the woods as late as S o'clock last
| night with a gun. Mrs. Ann Goe, a
Polish woman, said they passed her

on the Nicaragua canal bill, has an
nounced that the Committee will
grant hearings either for or against
the Nicaragua canal. The agents of

Canal are also in Washington in

A PATRIOTIC MESSAGE. President

Message will not only he read with

ensed history of the events leading
Up to the war with Spain, of the. war,
and of the results of the war, SO far as
ley are known at this time It is, in
itself alone, sufficient to place Pres
dent Mckinley in the very front rank
of American statesmen, if he had not
lready attained that position. 1t is

atement of some of the most import
ant events in this country's history,
made by man whose patriotism has
,een proven by trials such as few
men have gone through. It ought to
be read in every school house in the
land and studied as lesson in cur

maker of that history. Even the
most partisan democrats find nothing

decidedly unusual in presidents mes

cause of his long experience and the
correctness of his judgement in the
past. He, said of the session of Con
gress that opened to-day: ''In my
opinion, the session will be an inter
esting one, and many of the debates
will be of great Importance. OF the
prospect of Legislation he said: "It
can be laid down as safe rule that
if any measure proposed is antagon-
lied by determined minority, it will
be withdrawn. There will be great
pressure in behalf of legislation for
the Nicaragua canal. and if any i'm
portant measure is passed, outside of
the appropriation bills, it will be the
Canal bill. That subject has been
so thoroughly thresh7d over that it
ought not to provoke much debate"
OF the treaty of peace with Spain he
said: cit will be ratified beyond a
doubt, and exactly as it comes to us
from the Peace Commission. We
cannot afford to s!ultify ourselves in
the face of the world by refusing to
accept the work of our Peace Com
