G. H. Hillman Suicides.

Last w eQneSQdy G- III. Hlllman,
who lived about two miles west of
town committed suicide by placing
the muzzle of his double barreled shot
gun in his mouth and pulled the trig-
ger with crooked poker.
The deceased took his little son to
school that morning, got his mail,
bought some things at Verbeck's
among them was box of cartridges
and shot. He visited other places in
the city and chaJted freely with his
friends.
He went home about 1000 O'Clock
and committed the deed about IL. He
was found lying fiat on his back with
the gun on his breast. His head was
shot to pieces. Those who examined
the gun say one cartridge had snap
ped. There was no eyewitness to
at work in the field quite a distance
from the house says: Father came
out of the house, could see something
in his hand, he waved his hat as if he
wanted me. started for the house
and when 1 had gone short distance
1 saw the smoke and ran to him.
The cause for this rash act dates
back to April eth, when the deceased
while taking this gun (which caused
the two deaths) from rack accident
ally shot his wife, who lived just five
days. Since the death of his wife the
deceased said he could not live with
out her and that he would take his
life. The fact that w. Z. Saum wrote
a will for him Saturday and the find
ing of the following letter. goes to
show that the act was premeditated.
Children / must leave you / cannot
live without my wife your mamma.
Forgive me in taking this step God
Will forgive me, 1 prayed to him every
day.
Children you were all good to me
God bless you all.
Take good care of Gerhart-
/ shall die of the same gun which
Mamma died from.
Good bye to all.

Information slow In Coming from the
Three-MIIe Depths of the Mine
Details Of the Days Work.

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. July i2.-At o'clock
this morning it can be stated that OF the
800 men supposed to have entered the mouth
of the Rolling Mill mine of the Cambria
Steel Company, Thursday morning, ninety
are known to be dead and twenty-five res
cued.
Four hundred. so the mine officials claim,
escaped when the explosion occurred, leav-
ing lightweight still to be accounted for.
Some of these, according TO those In charge
OF the rescue work, are dead, but the ma
jority. they claim, have escaped.
From physicians. heads of rescue parties
and others who are familiar with the dit-
ferent headings in the mine il is learned
that at least fifty-two additional bodies
will be brought to the temporary morgue
at daylight. making the total list OF dead
I4s. This. so President Powell Stackhouse,
OF the Cambria Steel Company. stated, will
be the extent of the dead. but until all
checks. by which the miners are known,
are presented at the Office of the company
an accurate list of the dead will not be
known. Some of the bodies. il is admitted
by the officials, are entombed in closed
headings or buried beneath slate. Some
may 3e recovered, while others may never

even upon the chief prelate of the church
which he must observe. Therefore. the inn
mediate and complete withdrawal of the
Spanish frisrs from the Philippines is not
now expected, but it is believed the de-
sired result can be accomplished by an ar
rangement for the substitution of friars of
other nationaltieS, and the principal issue
at present Is TO the time within which
this change may be brought about.
AS the friars are gathered almost to-
gether in Manila and are heavy charge
on the converts and members of the Catho-
lie Church outside the order. who are main
tanning them, IT is expected that they will
hasten the solution of the problem by
themselves voluntarily seeking other fields
of labor outside of the archipelago. for il
is not held to be within the power of the
United States government to re-establish
them in their parishes against the desires
of the native Catholics.
Although Governor Taft must make con-
cessions on this point. he has been sue
cessful in other matters. and especially so
public schools. The cardinals insisted
strongly that any arrangement made with
Governor Taft must include Some provis-
ions for religious training In the schools,
but IL appears now that the committee has
consented to an indefinite postponement
of this issue, which is in itself a satisfac-
tory solution of the case from the stand
point of the United States.
Secretary Root, who is directly i'm charge
of these negotiations in Washington, has
been in consultation with Secretary Hay,
who. the senior member OF the Cabinet
in Washington, is called 'acting Presi-
dent" respecting this subject. and the re-
sponse to the Natican's last communica-
tion will represent the best Judgment of
these two Cabinet officers. and, in addi-
in its essential points before being for
warded to Rome.
