REGAN'S AWFUL DEATH.
His Remains Found Strewn Along
the D., L. & w. Tracks.

Philip Regan, Well-knOWn member
OF the Eureka base ball club. of North
Scranton, met horrible death On the
Delaware, LackaWanna and Western
railroad near the Brisbin mine early
yesterday morning. The young man
was returning home from the central
city and either fell from Il train or was
struck by an engine while walking
along the railroad tracks.
The remains were found scattered
along the railroad by several work
men about 4 o'clock and police head
quarters were notified. Coroner Rob-
erts' was called up at o'clock yes
terday morning and gave orders TO
Undertaken William Price ir., for the
removal of the remains TO his UNDER
taking establishment on South Maia
avenue.
The suppostion Of several railroad
ers is that Regan was riding between
the cars and fell from the train ana
was ground under the wheels, or that
while walking between the tracks he
was run down and mutilated. At The
point where the body was found a
third track is laid, and a large pool
Of blood was discovered between those
rails indicating that the above theory
may be correct.
The coroner viewed the remains at
Prices and found that Regan's right
arm was cut off between the elbow ami
the shoulder, the left arm cut off It
the wrist, and his right foot crushed,
His ribs on the. right side We're also
crushed in. The mans skull was
crushed to a pulp, and the brai rs
scattered. The mutilation was so com
plete that the remains were almost
unreCOgniZable.
Undertaken Regan, Of Bellevue a
relative of the deceased, was Motif ID
ana took charge of the remains and
prepared them for burial. Deceased
parents reside on Cayuga street, MOI
very faN from where the awful accident
| occurred.

IN THE FIERCE LIGHT
II Was Only Then That I'll Leg lis
Iafor Realized His Opportunities.

1t doesn't make any offer ence, after
all these years, who the man was or Of
what state legislature he was mem
ber 1t IS enough to know thai he was
the Hon. Reuben from Hayseed coun-
ty, and was for the first time there,
and for the first time in the farce light
that blazes around the methods and
the money of the lobbyists. But the
Hon Reuben had been elected because
he was poor and honest, and he was
pledged to represent his constituency
on those lines. At least, thai was the
pledge before he struck the ''ferce-
light" atmosphere. He had been en-
gagged in his arduous labOrs Of states
manship for about six weeks, and 50
far he was the only member who had
not been GLned and wined and honored
by those with an object in view. The
Hon. Reuben saw what a fine time his
fellow members were having and he
braVely braced himself against the
temptation that ne knew must come.
At the same time he thought people
might al lease be polite to him He
was only man. after all. and though
honest above al. things, he liked a
good thing when he could get it.

NEW PLAN OF BANK swINDLNG
Europeans Defrauded by Duplicate
Drafts Issued in This Country.

Boston, Mass.-A new scheme to de-
fraud the banking houses of this com
munIty has been discovered through
the officials of the Massachusetts Ma
t.onal bank The officials are assist
ing the police of this country and
those of the Scotland Yard force in
unraveling the matter.
The manner in which it is worked IS
as follows: A man enters q bank and
purchases a draft. at the same time
telling the cashier that he is going
abroad and would like to have dupli-
cate drawn. He takes both Of the
drafts away and the original is either
taken or sent 10 Europe by the swim
dler. Some bank in London cashes the
original draft, and the duplicate IS
cashed on the continent by some IN
Suspecting person. In this way the
swiadlers double their money.
Paper issued by the Massachusetts,
National bank was used by one of the
swindlers to secure $4,000 from a bank
in Switzerland. The man who had the
transaction with the local bank told

the cashier that he was going abroad
and that he would like to have the
drafts in TWO parts. He purchased two
drafts of $1,000 each These were
drawn on 4 London bank Recently
word was received from London that
one of the drafts marked duplicate had
been cashed there. A few DAYS ago a
letter was received frcm a banking
house N Switzerland. stating that it
had cashed the original draft for the
party to whom Miller had indorstd II
The cashier CT the Massachusetts
National bank wrote 10 a banking

The drafts in March The banking
house replied that 1T found three PEG
pie of the name. all reputabls business
men. No one OF the three answered
the description of Miller who bought

before cashing it.-Chicago Tribune.
