ADJUSTMENTS.

Coroner Roberts then addressed the
jury, and told them of the condition OF
the body when he found it, and tho
various articles found on the clothing,
which led to identification. He further
declared that there were no marks of
violence on the body. He had learned
by inquiry that previous to Lukens'
departure from home he acted in a
moody, melancholy manner. due in a
measure to q severe attack of grip
which he underwent. and to reverses
in politics. j. Perry Lukens, his son,
when he examined the remains, identi-
fled them Immediately by the articles
found on the body, the only thing MISS
Ing being a wallet which he usually
carried. Some years ago Lukens att
tended a political meeting in Scran-
ton, and often since spoke of the city.
The coroner added that a few days
previous to the finding of the body,
means and sounds of distress ara
rumored to have been heard in the
woods. The jHry, consisting of John F.
Saltry, Thomas r. Thomas, Patrick
LOTUS, James Boston, C. H. Derby ana
Leon Levy, then returned the verdict
given above.

Mrs. Ann Butler, of South Everett
avenue, was arrested last evening on
complaint of Mrs. Catherine Reese,
her neighbor. who alleges that Mrs.
Butler is a common scold. Less than
two weeks ago the woman was ar
raigned before Alderman Davis on a
similar charge and paroled on her own
recognizanCe in the hope that she
would reform. But it seems that she
does not want to reform and takes
particular delight in tantalizing her
ncighbors.
At the hearing before Alderman Da-
vies last evening Mrs. Reese testified
that Mrs. Butler called her vile names,
abused her and threw a teapot at her
The charges of malicious mischief and
making threats were preferred. but the
woman was discharged on the first
count and requested to furnish 5000
bail on the second. She was unable
to procure bail and spent the night in
the police station. Unless bail is
furnished this morning Mrs. Butler
will rest in the county jail until the
next term of court.

administrations views regarding the
necessity for an extra session, says he
can see no present reason for calling
congress in extra session. Were the
president to summon congress togeth-

Not that our minister at Pekin had
been killed, for that fact has not been
established; not that the Chinese gov
eTnment is responsible for the violence
that has occurred, for that, also, is not
established. In fact, the whole situa-
ton is shrOuded in doubt and uncer-
tainly. The veil must be lifted before
we can see our way. Should future
events necessitate additional troops
for service in China, | have no dOubc

Dreaming of Home.

II comes 10 me often in silence,
When the ireiight sputters low
When the black uncertain shadows
Seem wraths Of the long ago;
Always with a thTob Of heartaCha
That thrills each pulsive vein,
Comes the old, unquiet longing
For the peace Of home again
I'm sick Of the roar Of cities,
And of faces cold and strange;
! know where there's warmth Of welcome
And my ycarning fancies range
Back to the dear old homestead
With an aching sense Of pain.
But thcre'll he Joy in the coming
When l go home again.
When go home again! There's music
That never may die away,
And il seems the hands Of angels
ON a mystic heart at play
Have touched with a yearning sadness
On a beautiful, broken strain,
To which Is my fond heart wording
When | so home again.
Outside Of my darkening window
Is the great worlds crash and din,
And slowly the autumn shadows
Come drifting, drifting in.
sobbing, the night wind murmuB
To the splash Of the autumn raini
But dream Of the glorious greeting
When l 60 home again.

BARON NISSI'S APPEAL.
Last Letter from the japanese Min
lister at Pekin.

Washington. July 19.--The Japanese
legation here has made public the lat
est communication received by it from
Baron Nissi the japanese minister to
Pekin. This telegram was received
today at the legation from the Japa-
nese minister of foreign affairs and is
important because of the dates given.
The telegram was dated July 13 by the
sender, the japanese consul at ChefoO,
and is as follows:
Il received at 10 a. m. on the 18th a
dispatch from Baron Nissi. dated Pc
kin, June 20. The letter was brought
bv a special messenGer-a Chinese
who left Pekin July l and managed to
make the journey with great difficulty.
The substance of the letter Is as fol-
lows:
1.-The situation at Pekin is extremely
critical. The foreign legations are
surrounded on all sides by Chinese
soldiers and bOmbarded night and day,
The members of the legationa the
guards and residents are resisting to
the utmost, but the overwhelming
numbers of the enemy make Opposi-
tion hopeless; our ammunition is being
exhausted, our lives are in such dan
ger that we may be massacred at any
moment. We earnestly request the
immediate dispatch of endorsements
for our rescue from our precarious
condition.
The japanese consul at Chefoo adds
that he communicated this letter to
his colleagues of the consular body
there and also to the commanders-in-
chief of the forces of the powers.
Another cablegram received here
through the foreign office from the
japanese consul at Chefoo reports that
Tien Tsin castle was captured by the
forces of the allies on the l4th and the
safety of the foreign settlements is
assured. japanese troops took pos
session of SUISSE Yng, the Chinese ma
val station, on the l4th.

About Q o'clock yesterday morning
fire was discovered in the large two
story dwelling house occupied by Jo-
seph Frantz, corner of Brook street
and Moltke avenue. An alarm was
turned in from Box 40, corner of Crown
avenue and Beech street. The Ncp-
tune, Century and William Connell
companies responded, but could noe
reach the fire with their hose on ac-
count of its great distance from the
plug.
The fire burned rapidly, and in a few
minutes the building was nothing but
ashes. The fire is supposed to have
originated while building a fire in the
kitchen stove. The house was valued
at $1,000, and was not covered by IN

Yocob's Body shipped.

The body of John Yocob, who died at
the West Side hospital, was shipped 10
Philadelphia yesterday, none of his
relatives having put in an appearance
to claim the body Overturcs were
made to Cabolie, the dead mans board
ing boss, to have the remains removed
to his house and to give deceased II
burial, but he refused to have anything
to do with il.
The case will be investigated by Cor
oner Roberts, as the friends of Yocob
claim that Cabolie is indirectly respon-
sibe for the mans death by turning
him out of the house in an enfeebled
condition. When the boarding boss was
apprised of that fact he became very
much alarmed, and denied that he
turned Nocob out of the house.
