iutely nothing. The shores of the pond

was continuously dragged with Crap
ping irons.

ing made to secure the services of a
professional diver and it is hoped that
with his assistance something more
definite can be learned. The search
will also be continued, today, with
hopes of finding the hat which Patter-
son wore when he left the camp land
ing.
The missing paddle was found some
time, Sunday. by Walter Pitcher and
his brother only a short distance from
the place where the canoe was found

Etc, Will Stop Work.

runners. goes into effect. The operators
claim they win have all the help neces-
sary to keep the pumps and engines in

ficers of the Stationary Firemen's AS
social ton on the other hand claim that
unless the coal companies grant the
demands made upon them, the great
bulk of the engineers, fircmen and
pumpnen will omit work.
State Secretary Mullahy of the Fire
mems Association, said today:
Undoubtedly some engineers and
pumpmen will refuse to quit work. but
when the time comes it will be found
that the bulk Of the men now at work
will obey the call of the United Mine
Workers.
The local operators are Of the opinion
that what has happened ut Shamokin
will happen in the Schuylkill, Lacka-
wanna and Wyoming regions.
The superintendent of one large COM

OHIO REPUBLICANS
Will Meet in State Convention, Today
Hanna IN the Lead.

Cleveland, Ohio, May 2G.-With the
exception of Senator Foraker the Ohio
Republican leaders are all here for the
state convention, which will convene,
tomorrow. Gov. Nash, the temporary
chairman, Gen. Grosvenor, the pros
pective permanent chairman, Con-
gresham Dick, chairman Of the state
executive committee, and other con-
gressmen and leaders, spent the even
ing at the residence of Senator Hanna
considering disputed planks in the
platform. There are different forms or
resolutions on Cuban reciprocity, the
trusts and the tariff, but there are no
great marked differences Of opinion
even on these declarations. 1t is pro-
posed to oppose all trusts that fix
prices against consumers but not to
oppose such combinations as save ex-
penses in production.
Cuban reciprocity is the most disput-
ed point before the platform makers.
Next year members of the Legisla-
ture, that choose The successor OF Han
ma, will be elected, with a full state
ticket, and one of the purposes of the
leaders this year is to secure the con-
troll of the party machinery for the i'm
portant state contest of 1903, and for
the Presidential election of 1904. The
Hanna men claim. tonight, that they
will secure at the district meetings, to-
morrow, IS out of the 81 members of
the state central committee.
Many who have not been very ac-
tive in conventions of the past few
years are here taking an active part for
candidates for supreme Judge, food
commissioner and member of the board
of public works. and all are talking
about the outlook for the two subse-
quent years. Much of this comment
is for Hanna for senator to succeed
himself next year, and for President
the following year.

Body Of M. w. Corey Found.

After lapse of nearly three
months, the body of NJ. w. Corey, who
was drowned in the Kennebec by be-
ing swept over the falls at the head
of the island. WAS recovered, Sunday
morning, by river drivers, in the bend
of the river known as the Eddy, only
about half mile from the scene of
the accident. The discovery of the
remains is a matter of great relief to
the friends of Mrs. Corey, as all hope
of ever finding the body had been
abandoned, and it was supposed that
it must have been carried far down
the river during the high water. De-
spite the long period that has inter-
vened since the accident, the features
We're quite natural and the flesh in
tact.
