Back In the Grave.

After graphing in Grassy pond for q
couple of days the men who were search
ing for the body OF Ralph j. White,
stolen from the Sweet Valley cemetery,
had their boat halted by the graphing
hooks becoming fast in some object at
the bottom. The object was hauled to
the surface and it proved to be the
coffin containing the body. 1t had been
dumped into about the middle OF tho
pond. The coffin had been weighted
with chains such as are used in a we'll
The coffin was somewhat broken, but
it was not opened and was taken back
to the cemetery and placed in the grave
from which 1t had been taken. The
perpetrators Of the outrage have not
yet been caught.
Some OF Whites relatives are now
guarding the grave. Those who are op-
posed to the body resting in the buryng
ground say it will be stolen again the
first opportunity. Whites relatives say

Recovered the Bodies.

Tho accident in Silver Brook mine,
which was briefly mentioned in Monday

reports at hand at that time indicated.
The three men entombed by the rush of
coal and water from an Abandoned
working were Foreman Samuel Klinger-
man and Drivers Alex. Gallagher and
Fred O'Donnell
Mr.. Kingerman was married man
and leaves large family. He was IL
former resident of Eckley and was well
known in this vicinity. John Klinger-
man, of North Washington street, was
his brother.
The other victims were single men,
They were also known to many Free
land people.
Shortly after the accident occurred a
force of workmen began to try to rescue
their unfortunate fellow-men. Three
eight-hour shifts steadily labored with
this end in view.
At an early hour this morning the
work OF the searchers was rewarded BY
the finding of the bodies of the three
men. All had been drowned.

Death of B. J. Mooney, Esq.

At o'clock yesterday morning Ber-
nard j. Mooney, ESQ, passed away at
Mercy hospital, Wilkesbarre, from the
effects Of severe attack of tuberculosis.
He was stricken with grip some time
ago and entered the hospital in the
hope of overcoming the disease. In
stead, his condition steadily grew more
serious and few weeks ago his eyesight
failed him.
Mr.. Mooney, though not resident of
this section for some years past, was
well known here, as the early part of
his life was spent in the vicinity. He
was born near Hazleton. For several
years he taught school in the lower end
and later accepted position in the
Indian schools conducted by the govern
ment. Afterward he was engaged in
newspaper work, where he displayed
much talent. Seven years ago he was
admitted to the bar in this county.
The remains will arrive here this
evening from Wilkesbarre and will be
taken to the residence OF his mother,
Mrs. Hugh Gallagher, on Chestnut
street, from which place the funeral
will take place at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning. The remains will be interree
at st. AIMS cemetery.
The deceased is survived by his wife
and one daughter, in Wikesbarre; also
by his mother and these two sisters,
Mrs. John Mcdonald, Freeland, and
Mrs. John b. keenan,, Lost Creek,

begun in this part of the state came to a
sudden stop in the fourth round on
Monday evening, when the iifteen-round
bout between kid" Ferry, OF Allen

gion. Allentown also sent very large

McAdoo.

McAdoo.
The contest Of the evening began with
the following men being appointed to
the various positions by the master Of
ceremonies, Willy Dougherty, presi-
dent of the Sterling Athletic Clnb:
Referee, Patrick Burke, Wilkesbarre;
timekeepers, Morgan DeFoy, Freeland;
William Fenstermacher, Allentown;
club timekeeper, John c. Boyle, Free
land. Donohue's interests were look ed
after by Jack Ridgway and Mike Camp
bell, Philadelphia, and George Franklin,
Satington, and Ferry's by John Gala
CHER, Ed. Clancy and Fred Schwartz,
Allentown, and Peter SheehaD, Bethle-
HON.
The men started in at the sound Of
the gong. Donohue was apparently the
favorite of the audience, but the unex-
pected talent shown by Ferry soon
brought many people to his side and in
a short while the enthusiasm Of the
house was unbounded. Both boxers
seemed determined to win the decision,
and everything favored a scientific con-
test such as seldom seen when the bout
came to an end through Donohue for
getting himself and striking his oppo-
nent while in clinch.
