The frst-named five men were dis
covered in the barn of Fay Weishaar,
uesr NoItonville, about 8 O'Clock yes
terday afternoon. Weishaar went into
the barn and wss ordered out at the
point of guns. He rushed to Norton
Vile and gathered a posse, who with
pisto g, sbotguDs and few WiDchesters
hastened to the scene. The coDvicts
saw the men coming and rushed from
the barn. They had two shotguDs and
pistols. The pOsse pursued them and
running fight resulted. The con-
yic,s were at a disadvantage and their
SHOTS had no effect, while at every vol
lev from the posse one of the convicts
fell. After two Of them bad dropped
two OF the others gave themselves up,
one being wounded, the other unhurt.
The fifth was fully 250 yards away
when a man with q Winchester fired.

BRITISH GET THE ROAD.
But Germans Have Final Control for
Army Purposes.

Pekin, Feb. 22.-Among the provisions
for the convention under negotiation, the
British assume the control of the Shan
Hal kwan railway by the negotiations
began yesterday and to be completed
Feb %, is an agreement that in case
drawal of troops on the conclusion OF
peace, shall cause great demands on the
railway, the regulation of the order in
which the various contingents shall be
accommodated shall not be left to the
railway administration, but the decision
shall rest with the German army head
quarters.
In the event of the British military
authorities handing over the railway
to the civil authorities. it is provided
that the former shall retain a general
supervision of traffic on the lines while
the occupat ton of the province of Chill
lasts and the military directorate shall
consist of a British director and two
deputy directors, respectively German
and japanese. and the latter of whom
shall have charge of all military affairs.
The British agree to pay the Russians,
Germans and Japanese for telegraphic
and other improvements on the ptop-
erty.
The Russians will probably hand over
the Shan Hal Kwan-New Chwang rail-
road to the Chinese in August The
question is who shall guard the line.

TIME OF THE CORONATION.
May Take Place in August, During
Shooting Season.

New York, Feb. 22.-There is much
talk about the coronation of King Ed

London correspondent. but there is moth
ing authoritative on the subject. 1t can
not take place until the period of deep
mourning is at an end, nor until the re-
turn of the Duke of Cornwall from the
colonies. August is the earliest month
when these conditions can be complied
WITH and while this would not be too
late for the west end tradesmen, it would
break up the shooting season and inter-
fere with country-house gaiety. The
tradesmen are confident that the present
will be the last of the short seasons.
They assert that with the king in perma-
nent residence in London, the season will
begin early and last until August 15

Philadelphia, Feb. a2.-Superintendent
Abercrombie of the Ambey division of
the Pennsylvania railroads said TODAY
regarding the responsibility for the wreck
near Bordent0wn last night that Con-
ductor Edward Sapp, of the accommoda-
ton train which left Camden at $50 yes-
teraay afternoon had instructions to wait
on the siding until the three sections of
the express train had passed. Instead of
doing this he said, Sapp ran onto the
mann line after only two sections had
gone by. Three bodies We're found today
In the Raritan canal. They are those Of

This makes the list of dead eleven and

HEALTH GIVING AWAY.

New York, Feb. 22.-King Edwards ac-
tivity and interest in his work continues
unabated, says the Tribune's London
correspondent Every detail receives his
attention, and he insists upon having ac-
curate knowledge Of everything, and
forming an independent opinion. Those
in touch with the court assert that all
the important addresses and messages
to the nation, army, navy and foreign
rulers have been written by the king
himself, and that the phrasing of all
communications, except possibly the
kings - eech in parliament, is his own.
He rises early, works late, sleeps little,
and his health already reveals the bene-
fit of this close occupation.

university of Chicago and at the Norlh-
western university at Evanston.
Five thousand children crowded into
the auditorium during the forenoon a.
special programme having been arranged
for them.
Bishop Spalding Of Peoria, delivered am
eloquent address on "Patriotism and
Character.' He spoke in part as fol-
lows:
The characteristics of a true Ameri-
can are good will, sympathy with the
helpless and oppressed. intelligent, up
flghtnesS energy, courage and industry,
and If We love our country and desire
to make its institutions permanent we
ourselves and IN those whom we are able
to influence. The love of educat ton, in
the deep sense of the word. and the love
Of country are one and the same love.
Nothing but education, domestic, res
'igiouS and scholastic, can form the vir-
tues which make patriots. Character is
the man himself; it is precisely this
moral growth which it is the chief busi-
ness of the school to promote, and if il
fail in this it fails radically.
What more striking instance could
there be of the crude kind of thinking in
vogue among us than that a university
professor should deem it absurd to place
a great money gatherer on the same
footing with great poet? The one is
mechanical, the other vital man. Rich
es are akin to fear, to cowardice and
death, but the highest thought rightly
expressed is the fine essence of the pur-
est life stored up for all who are able
to appreciate and admire even the re-
mbtest age. But. however high we may
place genius and intellectual culture as
educational powers, when there is uues-
tion of patriotism, we must come back
to the moral element in human nature
to the sense of duty, to character. The
essential is not what We know, but what
we believe and love and dc it with our
hearts.
The hero whose memory we honor
today was not a man of genius or of the
best intellectual culture, but he was a
great character honest. simple, true and
mcorruptible He thought not of private
gam nor of personal glory nor of the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of his country, but be-
lieving with all his neart in the right
OF the people to govern themselves, he
gave his time, his wealth. his life to
make such government actual and per-
manent.

London, Feb. 22.-Proceedngs have
