Marvin Booth.

After a lingering illness of many
months with the resignation and assur-
ance Of the devout christian, the spirit
of Marvin Boothe on Monday morning,
at one o'clock, at his home in this city,
left its tenement place and took its
flight to the great beyond. Possessed
of high a order of mental endowments
with a life full of rich promises before
him, surrounded by loved ones and de
voted friends, he falls victim to that
Unsuitable malady consumption and after
many months his life passes away.
No young man has been more university
esteemed than Marvin Boothe. During
his illness he was the recipient OF
constant attention and careful nurs-
ing which is prompted by deepest at
lection and everything to stay, the
great malady and restore him was done.
He was buried from the residence
of Rev. j. I. Cunningham Monday
afternoon, the funeral services being
conducted at the residence. His body
was laid to rest by the side OF his
mother in the cemetery at Verona
| where a large number were present
to pay their last tribute of respect.
10 the bereaved wife and father and
sisters of the deceased we tender our
sincere coincidence in the hour Of their
great sorrow.

been accustomed to receive it, to desig-
nate which route they are on and in

Of requests to hayethe paper changedt to

place Now, there are several p~ostoflces
in the county from which there are
several ruraldelivery routes. In order to
get your mail promptly give the number
of the route you are on. This will assist
US in getting our mail off with less work
and also relieve your local post master

BURIES BABY IN YARD.
Italian Thought 1t No Harm to
Hare PiUate Cemetery.

AS William Schmitz. hotelkeeper, at 14th-
st. and Avenue D, Unionport. was looking from
his rear window late yesterday he saw
his next door neighbor, Felice Donzllo. come
from the house. carrying over his shoulder
spade and small homemade box
AT the rear of the yard Donzillo proceeded to
dig a big hole. Schmitz watched his neighbor
for some moments. and when he saw him drop
the box in the hole he called out:
Hello Don, what are you doing? Burying
your money!"
mo. not money" replied the italian. Bury
ing the baby"
This sent Schmitz to the telephone, after
warning Donzillo that he might be arrested for
burving a child in his yard. Coroner Berry
and Dr. Riegelman hurried to the house Doni-
zilo explained that the baby in the box was
one of twins to which his wife had yesterday
given BIRTH It had died, and he thought 1t
was no harm to bury 1t at mis- own expense and
on his own property
DIR Riegelrlan made examination. and
found both Mrs. Donzillo and the remaining
child in a serious condition.
Coroner Berry explained TO DonZlo that the
hodv which bore marks Of violence should
he hurled in the conventional manner. The
case was not brought to the attention of the
noIice and there was no arrest Donzillo prom
isinq 10 be more careful In the future.

There was a tremendous jam at the ferry

many Staten islanders got home more than an

W4DE MONEY IN PRISON

ley TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.


Binghamton, N. Y. June 14.-Judge Ray in
the United States Circuit Court to-day. SEN
fenced Louis Julian to spend two years in Au-
burn prison at hard labor. The charge against
him was counterfeiting money while in Auburn
prison, Adelbert Chaplin also sentenced to
one year and one day in Auburn. 1t is alleged
that he associated with Julian After the
men had received their sentences they were
again placed in the Broome County Jail until
tomorrow, when they will be taken back to
Auburn. Louis Julian has confessed to the
crime and told how it done.
II was working in the furniture department IN
Auburn prison. he said. land there was another
man working there whose name never knew.
He was a machinist. One day he handed a
peculiar shaped piece of wood and by motions
told me that 1 was to hold it while he poured
molten babbit in it. He was babbiting soma
boxes connected with some parts of the ma
chinery. He went to the furnace and took out
ladle of moulten metal. He would pass by
me and then I would hold the mould and he
would drop some Of the fluid metal in it. l
afterward learned that he secured the mould
from outsiders In this manner we were able
to make quite a number of nickels. OF course
we had to be very careful lest some OF the
keepers or convicts would see u.s. | thought we
were doing it for fun, but it looks different TO
now. I convicted before for grand
larceny and was to be free last October, but
they found the mould and some nickels in the
drawer in my bench and then it was all off with
me-"
The mould in which the nickels were made
was produced in court to-day.

draw it, his bucket struck a hard substance.
