MORTON RESIGNS. Charles J. Bonaparte of Maryland to Be New Secretary of Navy. Washington, 1. Paul Morton nns written uis, resignation as secretary of the navy, and Charles Bonaparte of Baltimore will succeed him on July 1.

Mr. Bonaparte Is a grandson of Jerome Bonaparte, king of Westphalia, and brother of Napoleon Bonaparte, lie is fifty years old and a lawyer. lie insists that ho is an independent Republican, but his party record has been assailed by some of the old Republican war horses, who assert, among other things, that he voted for rover Cleveland. President Roosevelt himself made the announcement of the selection of Mr. Bonaparte for 'secretary of the navy.

It came upon Washington as one of the greatest surprises of his administration in the matter of filling important offices. Mr. Bonaparte was graduated at Harvard in the class of 1S71 and at the Harvard Law school in 1S74. Since then ho has practiced law continuously in Baltimore. In 1S75 he was married to Ellen Channing Day of New port, R.

I. There will be some grumbling among the old time "regulars," but the senate will confirm the appointment. This gives to the east three members of the cabinet Mr. Moody of Massachusetts, attorney general; Mr. Cortelyou of New York, postmaster general, and Mr.

Bonaparte of Maryland, secretary of the navy. Ex Mayor Nolan Dead. Albany, N. June 1. Michael D.

His present intention is to leave here the first of next week for Michigan, where he has extensive oil and lumber interests.

The date of the proposed session will probably not be announced until his return. Mrs. Rogers Reprieved. Montpelier, Vt 1. Chief Justice Rowell of the state supreme court has refused to grant a writ of error in the case of Mrs.

Thomas Siangan.

Thomas Mangan, one of Pittston's most substantial and honored citizens, died this morning at 9:30. The end eame after an illness of 12 days. A week ago last Sunday Mr. Siangan attended mass in St, John's church, and after coming home from the service he complained of feeling ill, Sunday evening, he again went to St. John's church to attend a meeting of the St.

Vincent de Paul society. After he returned home, his illness became more marked, and on Monday he was unable to be about. From that time on his constitution weakened and he gradually wore away until the end. At times he rallied somewhat, but for the past few days his approaching end was apparent. Death resulted from general debility.

Mr. Mangan was aged 68 years. Thomas Mangan was born in County Mayo, Ireland, a son of Richard Mangan and Catherine (Brown) Mangan. His youth was passed in his native country, and he was a young man of IS years when he took jassage for America. On arrival in this country he went at once to Hawley, where he became, a clerk in the general of his uncle, Patrick Mangan.

For about four years he followed this avocation, and on the death of his uncle became a part proprietor of the business, his partner having been Thomas Mangan, his uncle. This business was continued for about six years, after which the junior partner decided to branch out for Mr. Mangan's association with Pittston dates from, 1865, in which year he arrived here. Before coming he had purchased from Theodore Strong the building. which is now the family home.

He at once set up in the grocery business and followed mercantile pursuits from that time until 1SS99, when he turned his business over to his son, John O'D. Mangan. His declining years he passed practically in retirement, enjoying the fruits of his early labors. In October, 1869 Mr. Mangan was united in marriage to Miss Mary O'Duiinell.

Six children were born to them, four dying in From the time of his arrival in Pittston Mr. Mangan assumed a position of prominence in the community. Only once, however, did he assume the cares of public odiee, then serving a term as tax collector of the borough. Where he did assume a prominent place was in what might be termed the more intimate affairs of the com munity, affairs of church and of char ily. From the time Pittston was little more than a village he was a man whose advice and assistance were much sought on many subjects.

As a business man of ability and experi ence nis sound, common sense views were at the command of those who sought. In the upward march to af lluence, Mr. Mangan, was ever careful of the rights of others. The result was" respect for him from all sidea. The deceased man was of a charitable and generous disposition.

He stood out prominently the societies formed in St. John's' parish for allevi ating distress and, in addition, did much good privately. He was one of the most active members of the St. Vincent de Haul' society, an organization whose every motive is charitable, and the last liie. he left hi home was to.attenO ine of its meetings.

In the a'rairs St. John's parish he was very 'active. When the jubilee collection was taken up last fall for the benefit of the schools he. acted as treasurer. He was a member of the advisory committee of the parochial schools, a committee of five members that it known as the parochial school society.

He was one of the trustees of the Holy Name society. He was also a member of the Knights of Columbus. For a number of years Mr. Mangan served as treasurer of the board of trade and held the olHee at the time of his death. Mr.

Mangan is survived by his wife and two children, Mrs. Martin J. Mulhall and John O'D. Mangan. Two sisters also survive, Mrs.

James O'Neill and Miss Mary Mangan. Michael Quiim. Michael Quinn, an aged resident of Port Griffith, died yesterday after a long illness. His demise had been momentarily expected for several days preceding his death. Mr.Quinn was born in Ireland and spent his younger years there, immigrating from that country about 4 4 years ago.

He came at once to the coal regions and settled shortly afterward in this place. He was employed in the mines and many years ago lost his arm through an He worked for the Pennsylvania Coal but for some time past hrtd been retired.
