Identified as That of
Joseph Cannon.

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 3l.-Clarence
Lippincott. of Bristol, Pa, went fishing
for perch in the Delaware River off the
Torresdale wharf Saturday, and caught
the body of drowned man instead.
Lippincott had thrown his line slightly
under the wharf. when his tackle be-
came entangled with the corpse.
LiDpincott thought that an enormous
fish had swallowed the hook, and pulled
with might and main 10 land the vic
tim. Finally, after several minutes ex-
ertion, he succeeded in pulling the body
of drowned man to the surface of the
river. He summoned Policeman Hut

the men then dragged the corpse out of
the water.
The body was taken to the morgue

INDIAN BRAVES IN
A HAPPY REUNION
They Met at League Island
Navy Yard.
Hunted Together in Boyhood-Separ-
ated for Ten Years-Enlisted
With Uncle Sam.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug SLOT all the
interesting incidents that occur almost
daily among the hundreds of young sail
ors that are being sent to the training
ship Minneapolis. at League Island Navy
Yard. from all sections of the United
States. there has been none more strik-
ing than the unexpected meeting. after
separation Of ten years, of two young
Indian braves who in their boyhood days
lived with their parents in adjoining
villages on the Iroquois reservation in
New York.
Were Constant Companions.
To their tribe these braves were
known as White Feather and Leaping
Deer. Now they are known as Johnny
Johns and Thomas France. respectively.
Until ten years ago they were constant
companions, although living In separate
villages, and hunted and fiished from
morning till night.
Upon the death of Leaping Deer's
parents they Separated and lost trace
of each other until they unexpectedly
came face to face on the gun deck of
the Minneapolis.
Leaping Deer started West, working
on farms for livelihood. He went as
far as Montana and then came East to
Virginia.
Both Enlisted in Navy.
BY peculiar coincidence both boys
enlisted for service in Uncle Sans
navy about the same time.
There is still much OF the Indian spirit
left In them. and when they met and
recognized each other on the Minneapo-
lis they expressed their Joy and salts
faction by a genuine redskin greeting,
which consisted Of preliminary grunt
and then a hearty shaking of hands and
mumbling of some words in The Indian
tongue, all this taking place while a
hundred blue Jackets crowded about
wondering what 1t all meant.
These are the only Indians in the Iarle
crew OF the Minneapolis, but aside from
the latent remnant of the redskin char
acter that remains in them they are not
much unlike the hundreds of caucasians
with whom they are competing for hon
ors in the navy.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-The stock mar

Developments Few.
The absence of change in the finan-
cial situation at large was paralleled
by the absence OF weighty developments
affecting particular securities. The two
most important events of the last named
character were the reduction of the div
idend on Reading first preferred stock
and the issue of a circular by the vot-
ing trustees of the Southern Railway
Company, in connection with and partly
explanatory of the recent postponement
of the dividend on the preferred stock.
Notwithstanding the severe losses
made by the banks through the heavy
customs payments of last week and the
transfers by them of currency to the
interior, there was little actual change
in the rates for money until Friday,
when loans on call commanded as mufh
as 6 per cent. Earlier in the week a
maximum rate of per cent prevailed.
Fridays advance also was in large part
owing to the contraction in loanable
funds incidental to the close of the
month, when the requirements of cor
porations for interest payment are par
ticularly heavy
Bank Showing Misleading.
Had the stock exchange been in ses-
sion on Saturday prices would undoubt-
edly have given a quick response to the
Unexpectedly strong showing made in
the weekly bank statement. Yet It
must be recognized that the showing
made therein was as fallacious and mis-
leading as is often the case. All of the
preliminary estimates of the weeks S
movements of money showed that the
banks made heavy losses, the calcula-
tions ranging from s6,0O0,0O0 up to
81. 900, coo.
The common belief that the anthra-
cite coal strike is approaching its con-
clusion, the wish being father to the
thought. results almost daily in the de-
velopment and circulation of rumors
that something is on foot looking to
the termination of the trouble. The
ideas in this respect are firmly adhered
to and seem to be little disturbed by
the positive declarations coming from
both camps that no compromise or sur
render is contemplated by either party
to the contest.
