assault Maria Patsier, a married Pol
ish woman. in her home near Farm
hurst on Tuesday afternoon, was
again continued in City Court today.
The hearing is now set for next Mon

ant City Solicitor Rice made no objec-

and costs for committing an assault
upon Harry Herdman on Eleventh

latter deposed that Weston bumped in
to him in passing and struck him twice.
lHerdman was standing talking to am
other man when Weston and two other
lcolored men came along. The defend
ant and the prosecuting witness col
llided, and as a result, according to
lHerdman. Weston struck him twice.
The colored man was represented by
Horace C. Knowles. He contended that
lHerdman called him foul names and
threatened him and he only struck the
prosecuting witness In self defense.
For throwing a stone at an italian,
cutting the latter's head, John Schell,
colored. was fined 50 and costs. Schell
said he accidentally backed his wagon
into the Italian and the latter and an

MAN IDENTITY
STILL UNKNOWN
Body Of Stranger Who Was
Drowned at New Castle
Remains Unclaimed
BELIEVED TO Be A SUICIDE

So far the authorities OF this city
and OF New Castle have obtained no
clue 20 the identity Of the man whose
body was found In the river of Har-
lmony street wharf, New Castle, on
Tuesday morning.
Inquiry last night revealed the fact
that the man was seen early on the
evening previous TO his death wander
ing about the wharf &C the foot OF Dell
aware street. IL Is presumed that he
was at that time looking for an OPP
portunity to jump overheard without
attracting attention. The fact that
there Is an arc lamp on the wharf and
that several men were sitting alongside
the FISH house OF Joseph II. King g. Son
Is believed TO have deferred him in
his purpose.
A half hour later the man was seen
going up Front street toward the Trufs
wharf at the foot Of Harmony street
He was noticed turning the corner
leading to the wahrf. that being the
last seen OF him alive. His body was
found IN the dock the next day and
the theory is now that unless he sought
death he would not have been wander-
ing about the wharves at night.
STILL UNIDENTIFIED.
Despite the efforts Of the authorities
OF both cities no trace as TO the iden-
tity Of the man has been found. II was
thought in New Castle this morning
that he had been employed as a weaver
in the mills Of George c. Hetzel and
Company of Chester, Pa. When CALI
ed up by phone, however, Mr.. Smith,
the superintendent said he could recall
no person answering the description of
the dead man who had worked at tbs
mills.
Yesterday afternoon a man and wo-
man from a point nearby I'm New Jer-
sey called at the Office Of Coroner's
Assistant James T. Chandler and made
Inquiry regarding the man. Mr.. Chand-
Ter took the parties to the morgue at
lFarnhurst but after viewing the body
lthey failed TO identify it.
Unless the body is identified by to-
morrow it viii be buried in Potter's
Field at Farnhurst.
