MISS CRlSPELL'S DEATH
 WAS DUE TO DROWNING.
Decision Reached After Second Post
 Mortem Examination.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 14.-A second poStmortem examination today of the body of Alice CrispeH, a victim of a tragedy at Harvey's Lake on the night of July 4 resulted in a decision that the girls death was caused by drown ing. The case, however, is still myste- rious. The decision that his sweetheart, as reported, was drowned, the police say, does not remove suspicion from Herbert Johns, who is still confined to jail in connection with her death, await ing habeas corpus proceedings on Wednesday. Four persons, including Drs. T. D. Lehane and John H. Larkin, New York city experts, examined the girls body today.
 The result of the examination was made known in a. statement by District Attorney Bigelow, in which he said:
 TThe Autopsy has resulted in con- elusive proof that Alice Crispell met her death from drowning An examin- ation of the organs of the deceased shows them to have been normal and healthy.
 Apparently no struggle of any kind preceded death. Neither was there any cerebral hemorrhages, nor proof of any condition which might constitute a mo- tive for suicide. The conclusions an- nounced by the experts preclude the theory that the body was cast into the lake after death"
 William Crispell, father of the girl, loitered about the morgue while the dissection of the remains was going on, but he was not permitted to enter
 Efforts are being made to locate four unknown men who are said to have landed from a rowboat on the night of July 1 near where Miss CrispelPs body was found. They are said to have walked down the road ahead of Johns and the girl, and a short time later two of them are reported to have re- turned to the lake.

 Dispute as to Where Blame Lies.
 Officials of the road assert that the blame lies between Conductor Emil Bartholomai of the standing train and Motorman Joseph Forester of the one that chashed into it. The conductor insists that he waved a. red lantern in front of Forresters' train in plen- ty of time for the latter to have stop ped, had he needed the signal For rester who was found today at his home, only slightly injured declared he did not see the lantern until with in 800 feet of the standing train.

STEAM LAUNCH SINKS
 IN CONNECTICUT RIVER.
Seventy Five Persons Aboard Reach
 Shore in Safety.

Thompsonville, Conn, July 14-- Seventy five persons had a narrow es- cape from drowning at Il o'clock to- night when steam launch, plying the Connecticut river between Riverside park, AgaWam and this place, sank in mid stream. Fortunately the river is not deep at this point and all managed to reach shore. It was at first re- ported that many persons were drown- ed.
 ;, The launch 'fPalaides" was used for excursion purposes On the trip down to the park the boat struck a sunk en log, which it is believed weakened the bottom of the boat. The launah had just started out on the return trip and when not more than 100 yards from shore. filled rapidly with water, without the slightest warming. The greatest excitement prevailed and nearly all in the boat leaped oyer- board. The water was from five to six feet deep and all reached shore in safety.
 Two women, a Miss Johnson of En- field and Miss Mamie Devine, were nearly exhausted but after treatment by physicians were able to go to their homes.
 The occupants of the boat were brought to this town about one o'clock this morning in motor boats. The boat is at the bottom of the river.

Are Bound by
 Secret Treaty
a GRAEco- sERVIAN ALLIANCE
 AGAINST BULGARIA.
BOTH IGNORE RUSSIA
Pay no Attention to Proposal to Cease HostiIities-HorribIe Atrocities by RuIsars Reported in Greek Town.

London, July 14.-That the Balkan struggle will end by process of mu- tual exhaustion seems the only hope that Sir Edward Grey the British for eign secretary, is able to hold out In a statement in the house of commons tonight he said that mere words were not likely to affect the situation. and it would be most difficult for the Eu+ ropean powers to, resort to force to inn pose them.
 Servia and Greece Ignore Russia.
 Neither Servia nor Greece has paid any attention to Russia's proposal that they cease hostilities. They appear de- ternined to negotiate peace with Bull garia only on the field without inter- vention by any third party, and un- less Bulgaria proves amenable it is be- lieved that an advance will be made upon Sofia to enforce acceptance of the Servo Greek terms.
 Sersans Capture Position.
 Serious fighting fel' the time being is suspended. but the advance of the ues without opposition. A Belgrade re- port says that the Servians on Sunday captured an important position eight miles west of Kustendil.
 Secret Graeco- Servian Treaty.
 According to the Athens correspond ent of the Daily Telegraph Greece and Servia signed a secret treaty last May binding them to prosecute a war, which was then foreseen, with Bulgaria until the Bulgars aequiesced in the territorial arrangements laid down in the treaty. By these arrangements the eastern boundaries of Greece would be extended to the AIesta river, consider ably to the east of Drama, and Servia would have access to the Aegean Sea at two points.
