NOTHING POSITIVE YET.
Men Who Robbed the Carbondale
Power Station Believed to Have
Been in the Vicinity of Sus-
quehanna-Arrests Here.

Nothing positive was accomplished
yesterday in the way of Identifying
the burglars who visited the power
station at Carbondale last Sunday
night. The following is from the Sus-
quehanna Transcript:
We are Informed by "A citizen of Sus-
quehanna that the gang of itinerant burg
lars who operated at Carbondale three Of
whom were shot at Ararat had for IA
long time previous to the robbery made
their headquarters off and on in and
around Canavan's island, this place.
Last Sunday afternoon, between 1 and
. O'clock the gang took passage ON a
jefferson division coal train and landed i'll
Carbondale in time for the robbery which
occurred cary Monday morning.
The names of the gang and their par
ticular business" were enshrouded in mys-
terry. However, it is said that they would
disappear mysteriously at intervals and
return plentifulLy supplied with good
clothes and pocket money.
The same gang is undoubtedly guilty
of the Maloney robbery.
A local bum by the name Of Burke
who is listed in the police archives as
a member of the old Bellevue "Growl-
er gang is being held at headquarters
as a suspect. He went to DR.. j. J
Walker, of Bellevue, yesterday to bc
treated for wounds on his left hand
and left leg. The wounds looked as il
they could have been made by br6
shot and thinking he might be the
member of the Shannon gang that sta
ton Agent Broad believes he peppered
the doctor called in the police and hat
him arrested.
Burke claims that the wounds ar,
burns and that he received them by
rolling against a boiler at the Diamond
mine, while sleeping in the boiler room
about two weeks ago. The wounds are
on the knuckles of the left hand ans
the side of the left leg below the knee
The police are inclined to believe
Iurke's story. The prisoner bears ole
scars of n knife wound and bulle
wound. :
Another man who called to see Burke
was held as a suspect He peddles pen
ellis and needles from house to hous,
and is known to be pal of Burke. HI
is held on the charge of peddling with
out license.

In coming out of the barn on Penn

We're in consequence much nettled.
They were driven to the corner of Mu-

Nearly all of the 500 members of
Local union. No 563 of the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners
were present at their regular meeting
in Carpenters hall, wyoming avenue,
last night, to discuss the enforcement
o! the new rules, prescribing an eight
hour day at the rate of thirty cents an
hour and various other less important
innovations.
John N. Williams. of Utica, n. Y,
national president of the brotherhood,
was in attendance at the meeting and
gave his approval to what had been
done SO far in carrying or the move
ment.
The communication, purporting to
come from the Master Carpenters as
sociation. refusing to acquiesce in the
new rules was read and discussed.
There was disposition to ignore 1t be-
cause it was not signed by any mem
Der of the association, but simply by
"'The Master Carpenters Association of

The meeting was i'm session until IL
o'clock. When it was over the press
committee gave it out that "rhe union
instructed it's committee to continue in
The new rules are not scheduled to
go in effect until June I. In the inter-
vening two months it is very likely
that matters will be so adjusted as to
obvlate any extreme measures. The
carpenters, however, are determined
upon making this an eignt-hour city.
Their business agent, John NJ. Knowi-
ton, said yesterday: The carpenters
unions in this CITY have a membership
of GOO. and are backed up in their de-
mands for an eight-hour day by all
the unions affiliated with the building
trades. If the demands of the carpen-
ters are not acceded to the conse-
quences will be far reaching"
The carpenters committee believes
| that no small percentage of the master
carpenters are willing to grant the
| brotherhood's request and that in due
| time these fair-minded ones will pre-
vail.
President Williams will return to
| Utica today.

The remains of Private Harry l..
Pease arrived in this city yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock after their long
journey from Santiago. They came
from New York by the Wells-Fargo
express over the Erie road and were
received at the Erie and Wyoming
station.
As the metallic casket was not to
be opened, the remains were not taken
to the house, but conveyed to the un-
dertaking establishment of d. d. Jones
on Washington avenue. They will be
taken to Clark's Green in hearse, in
stead of by train, as was at first in
tended. The cortege will leave here
at IL o'clock this morning.
The soldiers and other friends, out
side of the immediate relatives, Will
go on the los train to Clark's Summit
and from there will proceed to the
Clark's Green Baptist church, where
the services will be held at O'clock.
Rev. Robert f. Y. Pierce, of the Penn
Avenue Baptist church, will otficiate.
A firing squad composed of the MEM
bers of Company G will accompany
the remains to Clark's Green. Cap
the company, who can do so, to at
tend the funeral.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pease have letter from
their martyred young son that they
treasure very highly. 1t was written
while he was sick with the fever at
Santiago and was dated a few days be-
fore his death. 1t ends abruptly and is
not signed. evidently not having been
finished. His terminate, it is presumed,
found it after his death and forwarded
it.
In the letter he speaks of his serious
condition and expresses the hope that
he will live until August g. when he
would be full year in the army. He
died August T.
Another evidence that he realized
death was approaching was furnished
by letter received by Mrs. Pease from
a lady in Tampa, Fla. When the SOL
diers We're in Tampa this lady met
Private Pease and gave him a bible.
He promised to send it back to her as
souvenir when the war was over.
During the month of August this lady
received her bible back. Accompany
ing it was a letter from Private Pease
enclosing 50. and request that she ac-
cept the 50 in payment for the bible
and send the latter on to his mother
The lady, however, wished to keep
the bible and wrote to Mrs. Pease, ex-
planning the circumstances, sending on
the 81 and stating that she would not
care to part with the bible. Mrs. Pease
reluctantly acquiesced.
