COUNTY DETECTIVE SATISFIED
Convinced That DR.. Niles Came by
Dead Body Legitimately.

county Detective Phillips. acting
under instructions received from Dis
trlct Attorney w. r. Lewis, yesterday
visited Carbondale and had long talk
with DR.. John Niles, who has come
INTO prominence by reason of his ac-
llon in sending a body, which he had
used for dissecting purposes, off in a
barrel to Hewitt's fertilizng plant.
The doctor showed the detective the
letters which he had received from the
State Anatomical society, from which
he received the body, and referred him
to bond which he filed with the pro-
thonotary before the receipt of the
cadaver. Detective Phillips hunted up
this bond, and after seeing it expressed
himself as being convinced that the
doctor came by the body in perfectly
legitimate way.
The body was shipped to CarbondaIe
on Tuesday afternoon, but II has ap-
parently been lost in transit, as it had
not been received at CarbOndale last
night. Dr. Niles said yesterday that he
had understood before giving the body
to Hewitt's man that the bodies used

said, and he was sorry.

rain FALL NOT HEAVY,
It Has Been Steady Since Last Fri
day, but the Downfall Has
Not Been Great.

during the past two weeks Scran-
tonlans nave fondly imagined that
they were experiencing weather which
was moist to say the least. and con-
lectures at the amount of rainfall
which has taken place during the last
five days in particular have been gen.
erously made. ranging all the way
from seven inches up.
1t was therefore with feelings of as
t"nShment that the Tribune man,
who called upon Observer Clark at the
local station of the United States
weather bureau. heard that the en-
tire fall has been meagre rather than
otherwise. Since last Friday it has
been raining almost continuously. and
the net result up to yesterday morn
ing of the melancholia. of the storm
god aggregates the miserable, disap-
pointing figures of 1,42 inches.
Thursday was the last clear day,
no rain falling in any quantity, al
though there was slight shower be-
fore daylight Friday afternoon oc-
Cured the big thunderstorm, which
was accompanied by sheets of heavy.
driving rain, which any Pedestrian
who bra"ed them. would have taken
his oath made more than LAP inches
alone. Since then. every day has
been repetition of dreary. drizzling
rain. pouring from a dull. leaden sky.
The glowing countenancc of th0
sun-Sod has been hidden and obscure
all this time. and Observer Clark. who
gets the benefit from some people Of
being directly responsible for the en-
listing conditions. has had enough
things said about him to cause both
his ears to tinGle.
Yesterday Mr.. Clarke was unfavor-
able in predicting fine weather. and
we would have had it, were it not for
an unfortunate circumstance which
destroyed the value of the carefully
collected data from which he makes
his prophecies. A storm suddenly de-
Vcloped between the Ohio valley and
the Atlantic ocean and, sweeping over
this territory, left in its track the
disaerecable chilling rainfall which,
continued throughout the day.
What is considered real. heavy
rain is about two inches in twenty
four hours. An inch an hour is con-
sidored excessive, and two and half
inches n day is considered abnormal
The heaviest rainfall which has
drcnched SCrantonians during this
merry month of May. occurred on
May 3. when S1-1OO of an inch We're
re corded. Rain has fallen on all but
eight days of this month so far.

case of the Rocky Glen Water com
pany against the Scranton and North
eastern railroad company. which has
been, spasmodcally, before the Lacka
wanna courts for the last two weeks
and which is scheduled for final argu-
ment next Monday.
The Avoca officials contend that the
new railroad company is intending to
extend its tracks along certain of the
borough streets and that 1t has no
right to do this without first securing
a franchise from the councils
The company alleged that it's right

eastern extremity of the borough.

COMBINE ECONOMIZING,
M. Robinson Brewery in South
Scranton to Be Closed-Com-
bine May Be Dissolved.

The NJ. Robinson brewery, one of the
members of the combine, is to be closed
doWn IN the near future, because of
the other local breweries belonging to
the combine being able to more than
supply the demand.
This newest economy gives color to
the story afloat for several weeks past
that there is disappointment among
the brewers comprising the combine
because they are not enjoying the sue
cess that was figured out for them,
and that there is strong possibility
of an early move being made to break
up the community of interests"
