Dead Body of a Foreigner Found Beneath an Open Window at Laurel Hill Park Hotel DID HE FALL OUT WINDOW James Formafi, an Austrian, was found dead at 6:30 olclock yesterday morning beneath an open window in the Laurel Hill Park hotel, Dunmore. His skull was fractured and body somewhat bruised. To Coroner Stein, who was notified and arrived at the hotel at 9 o'clock, the circumstances of the death seemed extremely suspicious.

The Austrian's skull was fractured at the rear and the wound may easily have been in flicted by a blow from behind. The proprietor of the hotel, Paul Donnick, claimed that Forman had fallen from the open window some time during the night. County Detective Phillips was notified by the coroner and has begun an investigation. When the coroner arrived at the hotel the body of the Austrian had been carried into his room and laid upon the floor. Donnick was the only man in the house who could talk' connected English.

Peter Slundy, the dead man's boarding boss, was unusually reticent. After considerable questioning Dr. Stein learned that there had been a drunken carousal in the dead man's room Saturday niglt, which had lasted into the small hours of the morning. By Donnick's aid as an interpreter, one of the men who had been in the room told the coroner he had seen Forman last at 10:30 o'clock, another said about 12 o'clock, when the party had gone to bed In their several rooms. They both agreed that they had left Forman In his own.

room in a drunken condition and denied that there had been any quarrel during the evening. It turned out that no one had heard the body fall to the ground, a dis tance of twenty feet. About 6:30 o'clock Samuel Litch, a boarder of the same house, came accidentally upon it and gave the alarm. The body was given in charge of Undertaker Snyder, of North Main avenue, and taken to D. D.

Jones Sons morgue, where the coroner held an autopsy at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. It was found that the fractured skull may either have been the result of the fall or a blow with a hard instrument. The case was put into the hands of Detective Phillips who investigated last night. Nothing incriminating has yet been discovered. Forman worked at the Bolt and Nut Works.

He was 37 years old, has a wife and seven children in Austria, and could speak no English. Frank Hydo, a brother in law of the dead man, boards at the same hotel, which is situated opposite the entrance of. Laurel Hill park. Paul Donnick runs' the bar and sublets the rest of the house to his countrymen. IDEAL YOUNG MAN.

Delivered an Interesting Address at the Y.

M. C. A. Dr. Bayliss, of Brooklyn, N.

who addressed the men's meeting at the Y. C. A. a week ago, was again the speaker yesterday afternoon. He chose as his subject, "Man's Great Renunciation." His discourse was divided into three parts: Call, cost, and composition.

The call, he said, was: "If any man would come after me, let him take up his cross, first denying himself, and follow me." A prevalent idea among men, he said, when renunciation is spoke of, is that each has so much more to give up than any one else. Christ calls for complete renunciation of the sins of the world. He believed that men do not rea lize' the value of a smile, or a hand shake. To be right with God would make each right with man. He pleaded with his audience to iead better lives and illustrated his talk with stories of rescue mission work in New York.

Secretary Mahy announced that Bishop Dubbs would again address a meeting at the Y. M. C. A. in a few weeks.

HON. FRED PHILLIPS RESIGNS POSITION No Longer Night Station Master for the Lackawanna To Devote Himself to His Candidacy. Hon. Fred Phillips, candidate for mayor on the Anti Machine ticket, hag resigned his position as night station master at the Lackawanna station. He said yesterday: that his purpose in resigning is that he might devote more of his time to the may oralty contest.

When interviewed last night regarding the circumstances of Mr. Phillips' departure, Chief Special Agent Adamson said: "He was not discharged, nor would he have been discharged if he had persisted in running for mayor. He wrote out his own resignation and handed it in last night. 1 presume he heard the bugle call and couldn't re sist the temptation to get into poll tics again." Mr. Phillips has worked for the company for about nine months.

He handed his resignation to Special Agent James Casey on Saturday night and performed the duties of that night as usual. Early yesterday morning Chief Adamson was given the reslg nation and he accepted it. Mr. Adamson denied the rumor that Mr. Phillips had been, forced 'out of his position by his political enemies.

He said that the resignation had neither been asked for nor demanded. A successor of Mr. Phillips has not yet been selected. There are three applicants for the position. SICK MAN DIES IN BARBER'S CHAIR Sudden End of George Lawton In William Kane's Shop on Sat urday Night.

As he was being shaved, George Law ton, forty years old, residing at 23 Lackawanna avenue, died in the barber's chair at 9 o'clock Saturday evening from heart failure. Lawton, once a bartender In the Wrhlte Eagle hotel, had for a long time suffered from a complication of heart trouble and consumption. Saturday he felt severe pains in the left side, but he entered the barber shop, under the Stag hotel, across from the Delaware and Hudson sta tion on Lackawanna avenue, and asked the barber to shave him in a hurry, because he did not feel well. William Kane, the proprietor of the barber shop, took Lawton and seated him in the chair, applying the lather, and commencing to shave him hurriedly. He noted the peculiar look In Lawton's eyes, and realized that his patron was dangerously ill.

When he had him about half shaved, Law ton gasped a few times, his head fell forward upon his breast, and sliding down from the chair, he expired. Coroner Stein was notified and the Lackawanna hospital ambulance summoned. When the ambulance arrived the doctors found Lawton dead and the coroner ordered the removal of the body to Cuslck's morgue. He deemed no further investigation neces sary. Law'ton will be buried Tuesday from his home on Lackawanna avenue.

Interment will be made In the Forest Hill cemetery. Horse for Sale. Eight second hand horses weighing from 9 to 14. hundred, servlceably sound and guaranteed good workers: owners have no use for them and will sell cheap. Can be seen at the Scran ton Horse Exchange, Spruce street.

FAR ELLSBU LLETI It Shows That Ashenback Has Succeeded in Getting a Contract With Infielder Krug. TEAM NEARLY COMPLETE The latest bulletin of President Far rell of the New York State league shows that Scranton now has contracts with a number of her baseball players. These include Third Baseman Krug, who held off for a long while. He will take the place of Get tig on the team and ought to make a good hian for Ashenback. Practically, the Scranton manager now has his team complete, and for the first time in a number of seasons Scranton will start with an experienced pitching and catching corps.

Chappelle, Persons and Hannifan are under contract and so is Polchow, though another team has filed a claim to the services of the latter. According to President Barnes, McDougall is to return here, and that gives the city box men as good as any. Last season Scranton started very weak behind the bat. No, such weakness will be noticeable this spring. Roth and Clarke are both recognized as competent catchers.

In the Infield will be Sharpe, Shorten. Zelmer and Krug and in the outfield Betts, Schrall and Hennessey. Feldhaus will also be given a trial, but does not appear to be the batter that the other three men are. Mr. Farrell's bulletin shows that Utica is signing a practically new team, so is Wllkes Barre, while Syracuse is also getting new men.

The champion Jags are adding a few men, but this nine will be practically the same as last year. FARRELL'S BULLETIN. Mr. Farrell's bulletin shows contracts as follows: With Scranton Andrew Roth, Harry Feldhaus, H. C.

The official averages of the Atlantic league have just been published. Scranton has five men who were with that league last season Chappelle, Feldhaus, Roth, Persons and Polchow.

Pitcher Chappelle played in forty two games and made twenty seven base hits, with an average of Feldhaus played In seventy five games and made fifty two base hits, with an average of .214. He stole twenty eight bases, which indicates that he Is fast on his feet.

He ranked seventeenth among the outfielders with an average of .956. Catcher Roth played in ninety two games and made fifty eight hits, with a batting average of .200. He ranks fourth among the catchers of the league with an average of .973. Persons played In twenty games with an average of .153 at the bat, making nine base hits. Polchow played in twenty six games with an average of .146, making eleven base hits.

THE SUDDEN DEATH OF HARRY CROFT Fell in the Street in Front of His Brother's Home on Saturday Night and Just as he was going into the house of his brother whom he was visiting, Harry Croft, 69 years old, of Philadelphia, dropped dead Saturday evening, in sight of his brother, Isaac Croft, of 537 Lee court. Death was the result of heart failure. Croft had been in ihis city for about a month.

Saturday, accompanied by his brother, he left his home to go to the postofflce in order to get fils pension papers, which he expected. They boarded a Green Ridge Suburban car, but Croft complained of illness, saying that he had severe pains in his side. At Spruce street and Washington avenue, they got off the car, and pro ceded to the postofflce. From there, they returned home, though Croft became decidedly weak. As he opened the gate, he suddenly fell to the ground, and panting died.

Dr. J. M. Shields, of Pine street, was hastily summoned, but could do nothing to relieve the man. He was already dead.

Coroner Stein was notified, and he ordered the removal of the body to the house. He said the cause of the death was too evident for any further examination. THE DRUG CLERK IN PENNSYLVANIA Interesting Article by George W. Davis, Ph. of the North End, This City.

The following article from the pen of Druggist George W. Davis of this city, a member of the Pharmaceutical Examining Board, entitled "The Drug Clerk of Today In Pennsylvania," will be found of Interest to many readers of The Republican: During the past year I have, as a member of the State Pharmaceutical Examining Board, assisted in examining over two thousand applicants for registration, ranging from eighteen to sixty five years, of age, of which each applicant has at his disposal twenty five sheets of paper to explain why they should or should not' be granted a certificate to engage In the drug business in this state and to' enjoy the rights and privileges others are carrying out. It is needless to state at this time that a sat many were disappointed during tl year, possibly from the fact that did not have the time to study and possibly from the fact that they did not Improve the time and opportunity that presented itself. Upon investigation conducted by myself I found in nine cases out of ten it was the fault of the applicant. A great many young men get the Idea that a political "pull" Is all that is required, which is a great mistake.

In the first place we are doing the appli cant an Injustice by allowing anything of the kind to exist; second, we are doing the public a greater Injustice by granting people of that type the prlv elege to dispense medicine and compound physicians' prescriptions who are Incompetent and liable to mistakes which are fatal. However, there was a bill passed at the last session which became a law Jan. 1, 1906, compelling every applicant to be a graduate frm some reputable college of pharmacy before he or she could come before ths board for registration in this state as a registered pharmacist, which will have a tendency to elevate the profession of pharmacy and make better druggists and better men. The attendance at the last examination numbered seven hundred and nlna, including about fifteen ladles. Out of that number about seventy per cent, were successful.

This was the largest class that has ever come up at one time for examination In this stnte, and there will probably never be as mf.ny at any four, examinations In the future If the law remains as It Is, and any that were not successful at this time have nobody to blame but themselves, as the examination was comparatively easy and the board exceptionally liberal In the rating. In conclusion I wish to outline a plan which If carried out will be of great benefit to those who were not successful; that Is this first make application to ono of the best colleges of pharmacy next fall for admission; also make application for position In some drug store with college privileges. By doing this your success will be doubly assured. Then when you are granted the privilege to conduct and rarry on the retail drug business In this state you have been abundantly repuld for the efforts you have made In your profession, Personally, I have been all through this and shall be glad to furnlvh anybody with any Information regard ing the requirements of the different colleges. I am In a position to ret positions In good stores in Phlladoli hU and willing to assist any ono who is anxlou to help themselves.
