STEAM HEAT COMPANY IS BEING ORGANIZED Pittston People Are Being Sounded as to Tlioir Attitude Toward Such a Concern.

"The Suscjuehanna Steam Heat Co." is the title of a corporation which it is proposed to organize in thia euy. The project has been under consideration for some weeks, a Wilkesbarre promoter being at the head, and he has succeeded in interesting a half dozen or more well known Pittston men. Residents of the city are being quietly sounded as to their altitude toward a concern that would undertake to furnish steam iheat to business places and residences, and much will depend on the manner ill which the solicitors are received gentlemen taking up 4 hit pre liminary work have faith in the project. They believe that a sufficient nunicr of people in the city would be gad to avail themselves of the convenience of steam heat furnished by a company to warrant the establishment of a plant. Scranton and Wilkesbarre both have s.eani heating plants in successful operation.

NEW YORK STOCKS. i)E Suit of Clothing Was Found Along the River Bank. Tliey Belonged to a Minooka lEussian, Who Probably Went for a Swim and Got Out Too Far Ixticrs and a Due Book Identified tlie Owner or the Clotlies Body Not Found. A pile of clothing, containing one man's was found this morning on the river hank inear Oregon, bearing mute witness to the fact that another victim had been claimed ty the Susquehanna. A young man named Krantz while walking aiong tne Dann.

near what is known' as a favorite simming spot, about o'tock saw the clothes. They were neatly piled close to the water's edge, while 20 feet further back lay a pair of shoes. Close to the shoes a dime was found in the sand. Krantz looked as far as he. could, see along the river and when he found no one swimming he decided to notify the police, fearing drowning had taken place.

Officers Connell and Hines went down to the piace and after examining the clashing secureu a boat and rowed about the river in the neighborhood, searching for the owner of the clothing or for his body. Their quest was fruitless, so they gathered up the outfit and carried it to the city hall, where an examination of it was made. The clothing was an ordinary ready to wear suit and the rest of the outfit was of cheap texture. In one of the pockets was found a cheap watch with a silver and enamel case. wa.3 running and.

had been wound up only a short time. There was a dime in another pocket, the only cash found in the clothing. In the pockets were found two letters addressed to Demetrius Desha vitz, Minooka, and a dusJtook in Alexia society, of Scranton, which is connected, as the seal showed, with the Orthodox Greek Catholic church, of that city. It showed that he had paid dues in the society up to August. A translation of Jne information in the book yielded the information that Demetrius Deshavitz.

was the owner of the book, that he was in the neighborhood, of 32 years old and married. One of the letters from Moscow was from a. brother, Alex Deshavitz, a member of the Russian army, who said he was stationed at a post after some active duty. The second letter was from a friend in Russia, who announced that he had just named a baby after the recipient cf the letter. No one has been found who saw tins man in swimming, is likely that he went in for a swim and was either seized with a cramp or got into 0110 of the treacherous holes in tho bottom.

Up to this no effort had been made to. recover the body.
