Body of Missing Woman Is Found by
q Fisherman.

Chicago, Aug. 2S.-The body Of
Miss Emily Scharrin 2S years
old, was found floating in the lake
of Lincoln park today by a fisher
man.
Last Tuesday the young woman
disappeared from the government
pier, where she had gone with her
hance to fish. Fear that she had
been murdered for her valuables was
expressed but when the body was re-
covered her jewelry and purse were
found intact. While her betrothed
was busy with the lines the young
woman strolled away and his search
for her was fruitless.

DIFFERS WITH BAY STATE ON
 NEW HAVEN ROAD

No error has been found by the Su- preme Court of Errors in the case of Mackay of New York against the New York, New Haven & Hartford Rail- road Company, an action brought by holders of preferred stock of the New England Investment & Security Com pany to require the railroad company to place upon the certificates of the Investment & Security Company the guarantee of the New Haven Company in accord with it's agreement. The railroad company pleaded the MaSsa- chuSettS law in bar of the action. The court below sustained a demurrer to this defense and the Supreme court now holds mo error.''
 On the face of the decision the court holds that the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company has the right to exercise it's corporate powers granted by the General Assembly of Connecticut in spite of the circum- stance that under the Massachusetts law such action would be ultra viEes.
 One effect of the decision appears to be that the highest court of Connec- ticut is in antagonism on the question of law to the tribunals of Massachu- settS. The decision is written by Chief Justice Baldwin

 seSsments. On which of these grounds the Su- preme Court has sustained the denur- Ter is not known yet. It is expected | that the matter will now be ended | since the Knights of Columbus is a Connecticut corporation and the inten-
 tion was to have the various legal questions interpreted by the highest court in the state.
 The two funds, which the older mem- bers claimed, are known as the surplus death benefit fund and the mortuary reserve fund. The surplus death ben eft fund came into being by the as- sessment, under a bylaw passed June | 30, 1885, of S5 on each $1,000 of insur- ance held by the members. This by law continued in force until Jan. l, 1902, when it was repealed. Under the
 assessment thus levied the sum of I $451, 900 was raised. This fund was raiS- ed in order to meet emergency claims, such as an unusual number of deaths caused by an epidemic or other extra ordinary cause.
 The mortuary reserve fund came as the result of a bylaw passed June 30, 1892, providing that after all death claims had been paid from the regu- lar assessments, all money over $50,0OO then in the treasury should be set aside and called by the name of the inortuary reserve fund. This fund
 amounted to s165, ,365 on January l, 1902
 when the organizat tion by resolution ceased adding to this fund.- The two funds amounting to '$616,- 365, have been bearing interest since January 1, 1902, and in case the older members had won their case they would have distributed among them nearly s1, ,OOO 900. This money will now remain in the treasury of the society,
 fact which is expected to raise still higher the rank of the Knights of Co., lumbus among fraternal insurance or ganiZationS.

Salvation Army Revivals.

The revival services are in full
swing at the Salvation Army and the
speaker last night, Rev. James Gu
low, was faced by an attentive au-
dience that fully appreciated the dis
course which he gave on "The Power
of the Gospel" Among other re-
marks which he gave utterance to
was the fact that the people of the
world are in two classes, either saved
or lost. ''eH that believeth not is
condemned already" All have sin
ned and come short of the Glory of
God THE preaching of the gospel
has made this glorious country of
ours what it is today" The hardy
pioneer was always closely followed
by the man of God, who organized
society and brought order out of
chaos" while it may not require
the same degree of courage today for
one to preach the gospel on the street
corner as it did in the Roman era,
yet it did require all the courage and
vast amount of grace from High
to be an out-and-out man of God
The evangelist was rewarded by four
people requesting prayers and also
seeing two seekers at the old fash
Toned mercy seat. Tonight Cadet
Greenleaf will speak about what it
means to follow in His steps. Tues
day evening Rev. A. J. Adams, pas
tor of the local Christian church,
will be the speaker

Nothing was doing for the next
six innings. The Skykomish fielders

all until the seventh inning, when

both second and third, where he died
because Of Green's and Chapman s
hard luck. Score 9 to 4.
The visitors made a futile effort
to rally in the ninth, but not a man
reached first base and the game end

C. Kelsey going to first base and
Goodwin being promoted to the box.
But it was a sorry heritage for the
erstwhile first-sacker His first
throw was so low that Triplett came
home on passed ball, advancing
Hurd to third base, who then scored
on Ames' hit. However, Goodwin
looked stronger than Harmon, es-
pecially in speed, and the score
might have been different had he
occupied the box from the begin

on both sides, as may be judged from
the fact that it was played in one

cisions of Umpire Green were highly
satisfactory to all the players and
the sport was not marred by any
kicking whatsoever.

from pain which it affords is alone
