PoRTER's BODY ARRIVES.
Reached His Home in Moosic Yester-
day Morning.

The remains of Walter Porter. of
Moosic. private in Company ID. Thir-
teenth regiment, at Camp Alger who
died at Fort Mycr hospital. Sunday
night, reached his home yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock. The arrival of
the body at that hour was unexpected,
hence there was no demonstration, as
would have been had the residents of
the town known the time of the COM
ing of the young soldiers body.
Accompanying the remains were
Corporal Thomas Russell, jr. and Pri-
Yates Henry Ives and William Jen-
nings, OF Company d.
The remains reposed in handsome
metallic casket draped with a large
American flag, and were placed In the
parlor of the home.
The funeral, which takes place to-
day, will be a military one. The pail
bearers will be his comrades who act
ed ASA guard on the sad trip home,
Corporal Iona Day and Private Charles
Warner, who are in the city on fur
loughs. Services, commencing at
o'clock, will be held at the Brick
church.

CHARGE UNFOUNDED.
Civil Action Clears Attorney w. j.
Tracey of One of the Charges of
Embezzlement Against Him.

a strange case was heard yesterday
before arbitrators in court, and it
proved that not all of the charges
against w. j. Tracey, the attorney in
dicted for embe2zement, are well
founded. On the list of the first week
of June criminal court were six cases
against him. One of these. it now ap-
pears, was an unwarranted one.
The arbitration yesterday was the
suit of w. =. Tracey against w. II.
Campbell. Attorney George NJ. Wat
son appeared for the plaintiff, and Sem
ator j. c. Vaughan represented the
defendant. The arbitrators were At
torneys NJ. f. Conry, Clarence Balen-
tine and L. w. Thayer, and they con-
suited after evidence was taken and
arguments heard, and found an award
of s433.05 in favor of the plaintiff.
The strange part of the case is that
Campbell had Tracey arrested for en-
bezzling this money, and Tracey had
Campbell arrested for perjury foi
swearing that he embezzled it. Upor

$433.05 too much.
Campbell is a blacksmith and live:
in Olyphant. He began the erection o.
a house and borrowed some money
from the building and loan association
represented by Tracey. The latter a!

on it. In settling up accounts Camp

Miss Lizzie Berner, Of Beech street,
South Scranton. an operative in the
Sauquoit silk mill, while temporarily
insane, yesterday attempted suicide by
leaping into the Lackawanna river,
near the mill. The girl is subjected to
frequent falnting spells, and the heat
OF yesterday brought several of these
attacks during the morning.
About noon time the last one took
her. She was conveyed to a room in
the mill that the management has pro-
Vided for emergencies of such a ma
ture. 1t is a well-equipped infrmary,
and the restoratives it contains were
applied to Lizzie with good results.
After time she recovered and Mr..
Davis. the manager, ordered his car
riage to be brought to the mill gate
to take the young woman to her home.
One of the foreladies volunteered 10
accompany Lizzie.
They started to the conveyance, and
at the outer door 1t occurred to the
forelady that she had forgotten a par
eel and she requested her charge to
wait for her.
During her absence Lizzies mind be-
came deranged and she dashed out OF
the yard, down the embankment
crossed the tracks of the Delaware and
Hudson Canal company and over onto
the railroad bridge of the Jersey Cen
trail road switch that spans the Lacka'
wanna river. John OConnor, of Genet
street, a miner, was passing over the
bridge at the time. His attention was
attracted by the wild stare and man.
ner of the girl and he started after her
in hot pursuit.
Lizzie saw him coming and she
quickened her speed. She, at the enc
of the bridge. rushed to the bank OF
the stream and threw herself in head,
long. OConnor followed, and in a short
time the wouldhe suicide was on the
shore. She was unconscious and al
most strangled by the water.
Her clothes were loosened and meas
ures taken to eXpel the water from the
body.
DR.. Manley was summoned and at
tended her. Later she was taken tC
her home. When she regained heI
senses she said she had no recollec
ton of the happenings of the previous
few hours.

HAS HIS HANDS FULL.
Weighty Responsibility of Philip
Lewis, of Mayfield.

Philip Lewis, of Mayfield, was re-
leased on his own recognizance yes
terday before Judge Archibald. He
was put to Jail a month ago at the
instance of his wife on the charge of
assault and battery and threatening
to kill her. The bail required was
more than he could furnish.
Mrs. Lewis appeared at the district
attorneys office yesterday and she told
w. GAYLORD Thomas she wanted Phil
to be let out. They have fifteen chill
dren.
A man with so many urgent mouths
to feed has urgent need for his lib
erty, the court thought, and the de-
fendant was released on common bail.
He is several years on the sunny side

THIS AND THAT.

William Coughlin. formerly of the
Pawtucket base ball club, who Joined
the Wilkes Barre team Monday, spent
last night at the home of his parents
on Capouse avenue. Harry Merritt, the

Record. said yesterday with reference
to Coughlin's work on third in Mon

a very pert diamond artist. The board
of appraisement on the bleachers held
an informal session at the close of the
melee with Providence. The board as
unit voted that Bill Coughlin would
never suffer in a mark down sale or
find himself ensconced on the bargain
counter. The following resolution, with
out the customary preamble, was
passed without a dissenting vote, and
ordered spread upon the minutes:
Resolved, That all bonds that shall
be issued on the Coughlin Manufactur-
Ing Co, operating at Third Base, A.
Park, shall be issued to and retained
by local members of this board. who
are expressly prohibited from dispos-
ing of them at less than $50 above par.
And, il is further ordered that no mem

Even the Scranton members ex-
pressed satisfaction with this manda-
tory action of the board and refrained
from offering their designations. After
ordering that bronze medal be struck
off TO commemorate Coughlin's achieve
ments during this engagement, the
board adjourned"
Few balloon ascensions are given
under such striking circumstances as
attended the one held last evening at
the residence of Victor Koch, on Madi-
son avenue The balloon, a large paper
one, was being inflated on the spacious
lawn of the residence when a passing
car stopped to take aboard a passen-
ger. Though there were no accom-
panying fireworks or parachute, the
passengers on that car made a request
TO have the car wait that they might
witness the ascension. The conductor
agreed to favor them and in due time
away went the balloon in satisfactory
style. II took a course toward Lake
Winola, and the car proceeded. A
young lady passenger. who was ap-
parently stranger here, asked III all
cars In Scranton were allowed TO stor
for balloon ascenslons."
One of natures freaks was noted at
Park Place and Green Ridge yesterday
morning. They were visited by a Sc
we're rain storm about o'clock. For
time the rain descended in a very
lively fashion and converted the dusty
streets into thoroughfares of thick
pasty mud.
The centre of the storm was Court
street. No rain fell at Albright ave-
rue and Providence road three blocks

At O'Clock Last Night He Had
Been Ninety-Six Hours That Way.

Otto Mayer at midnight was still
unconscious. but he showed signs of
improvement yesterday in manifesting
less inertia when nourishment was
given to him.
He tossed around considerably in

ing consciousness. His condition must
soon change for better or for worse.
Up TO o'clock last night it was SO
