OVERDUE BILL PAID.
Sultan Settles Claims Held Against
Him by Uncle Sam.
European Diplomats Astounded By
Minister Leishman's Success
which Was Due to Firmness
and Perslstency.

John G. A. Leishman, United States
minister to Turkey, who collected the
long-outstanding debt of the sublime
porte to the American government,
was recently transferred from his
post as minister to Switzerland to the
mission at 0onstantinople. He is a
native of Pennsylvania and resident
of Pittsburgh. His wealth, which is
very great, was accumulated in the
iron and steel industry, from which
he retired a few years ago. This sue.
cessful diplomat was reared in the
Protestant orphan asylum at Alle-
gheny. He began his business career
as an office boy for a physician and
left that place to accept similar oc'
cupation with the Shoenberger Steel
company. This was lucky stroke.
In 12 years he was cashier of the COM
pany and later formed partnership
with w. p. Snyder in the iron broker
age business. In 1886 he. formed his
connection with the Carnegie com
pany and remained with that concern
until 1897. He. is noted for his fine
Judgment of paintings and for his rare
capacity as a host.
Congratulations are appropriately
offered to Secretary Hay and Mr.
Leishman upon their remarkable sue.

There seems to be no doubt tha

SEARCH FOR MEREDITH BODY
Attempts to Locate the Scranton Boy
Drowned at Lodore on Monday I'm
successful

Despite the numerous means tried to
locate young Dannie Meredith, the West
Scranton lad, who was drowned al
Lake Lodore on Monday last, the body
is still in the lake.
Poles with graphing hooks were first
used. Then bottled lime, which is some
times successful, was exploded under
the surface Of the lake, but with no re-
suits. A horse drag, a heavy platform
with graphing irons attached, was
afterwards employed, but all that was
brought up after the horse that was
attached by long rope travelled the
shore in different places, were guam
titles of weeds and mud. Dynamite
WAS then exploded, but the thlrty-two
sticks used failed to dislodge the body
II was found that the water was too
murky along the bottom for divers to
locate it, and this means was not en-
ployed.
General Manager Jordan, of the Lake
LodOre company, has been unCeasng in
his endeaVOrs to have the body located,
having furnished several men TO carry
on the search. Efforts will, of course,
he continued until every means is eX-
hausted.
