Two Companions
Rescued From
a Like Fate.
BROTHER OF
VICTIM SAVED

John Belko, fourteen years old. OF
8 Stockton street. while playing on
the ice in one of the Pardee clay
banks with several other boys yester-
day afternoon, broke through and was
drowned before assistance reached
him. His brother. Mike Belko. and
Stephen Shultz, who were with him,
also fell through. One managed to
swim out himself and the other was
assisted by Special Officer James Nc
Dermitt, of the Lehigh Valley rail-
road.
The boys were playing a daring Ice
game, known as ''ticklishH About
fifteen of them were in the game and
took turns in sliding across the thin
sheet of ice. Fully aware of the
danger accompanying such a pastime,
the lads kept it up until the ice gave
way.
John Belko, who was drowned, was
fourteen years old and would have
been fifteen today. His brother who
was rescued, was year younger.
The latter is employed as pin boy at
Emil Bohnsack's cafe and bowling
alleys on Smith street.
Coroner H. o. Bishop was called.
He viewed the remains and gave a
permit for the body's removal to the
home. The funeral will take place
tomorrow afternoon at o'clock.
The fatality caused much gloom in
the western part of the city and large
numbers focked to view the body OF
their unfortunate iItlie friend.

HIS
 COMPANION

Colonel Jayne of Massachusetts had the honor on one occasion of befrleud- Ing and entertaining Colonel Swartz of the Royal German artillery. This was in London, where they were both strangers and both happened to be stopping at the same hotel, The Ger man colonel was assaulted and robbed on the street in the evening, and for a week, or until he could send for money he was the guest of the American. There was something rather queer about the incident. The two gentle men were summing when a public carriage suddenly halted beside them and two men sprang to the ground and attacked the German, while third sought to hold back the American. The attempt was made to force the German into the carriage, and 1t might have been that his money was lost during the struggle. The American fought for his companion, and the fel- lows were finally driven off. It looked more like case of attempted abduc- ton than of q holdup, but as the Ger man argued the other way the Amer ican had to be satisfied.
 It was five years before the two met again. This time it was on the Ger man frontier, and both were bound for St. Petersburg. Colonel Jayne was travelling for pleasure; the other ex- plained that he was on a secret mission for his government He made this eX- planatlon because he had shaved of his luxuriaut whiskers and was other wise disguised and recognition was ac- cidental. Colonel Swartz was well ac- quainted in the capital city, and it was arranged that the two should stop at the same hotel and take in the sights together They did take adjoining rooms on their arrival, but the German Kald that he would be busy for two Or three days and left 1t to the other 10 find his way about alone.
 Next morning after arrival Colonel Jayne set out with Yankee impatience

NO PROSPECTS FOR EARLY
STRIKE SETTLEMENT

Kansa City, Mo, april The pros
pect for an early settlement Of the
strike of thirty-hve thousand coal
miners was put off today when the
operators declared positively that they
would not sign a one-year agreement.
The operators asked the miners to
abrogate the action Of the United Mine
Workers Of America In convention at
Indianapolis, which voted for a one
year contract, and asked them to sign
for three years, insisting that they
could not operate with a profit on a
short contract
The conference is not ended, how.

Of President Leeds tomorrow may

have observed there is no room for

opinion that the board Of county com

ion, at once, to relieve the congested
condition Of the Jail by building an
addition thereto, and if possible to do
so under the law we should think it a
wise step that site be secured for
the Jail, at an early date, and that
bonds be voted SO that a substantial
jail could be placed thereon. We do
