At the request of the parents of the young man, a post-mortem examination was held on the body by Drs. 'Swartz and Johnson, as there is strong suspicion of foul play. When the body was taken from the water there were several cuts about the head. It is known that when the young man left Pen Argyl a week ago last Monday he had $25 in money with him. He worked one week in Easton and when he was ready to leave he received his pay.

It is said that when he arrived at Mauch Chunk there was a strange young man with. him, and that the two applied for lodg- Ins In the cabin of a boat there. captain of the boat, was not there at the time and their request could not be granted. The two started to walk up the tow path and that was the last seen of either of them. Lobb's body was discovered by the lock tender on "Wednesday evening, and when the body was taken from the water the coroner made an examination of the clothing.

In one pocket was found a few pennies and in another a revolver which was partially cocked. The post-mortem examination has revealed the fact that the young man: was foully dealt with find that the body had been placed in the water after- death. The doctors found an ugly bruise on the side of the head as; though made by a blunt instrument. Other marks of violence were also found nn thf linilv Tlist vnnnu- T.nlih was not drowned is also evident from the fact that the doctors found no water in the lungs, nor was there any bloating of the body, both of which symptoms are associated with drown-1 Ing accidents.

The House and Senate Rush a Resolution Tnrongh. It is evident that the legislature in- tends to do all in its power to make the occasion of the unveiling or the Washington monument in Philadelphia a memorable occasion. The House and senate last week adopted a resolution making May 13 a legal holiday.

When the resolution reached the senate, it was referred to a committee of which Senator Durham was chairman. The committee was called together at once and in a few minutes reported the resolution favorably, with an amendment (hat the resnlutum and procla-rrmtinn 'shoiilrl not interfere in any IHU loirnl nhllo-'liinilfl 1 1 1 II ET flllt' it 1 Hi i iM.i,ht,.n....... i iiko.1i Ho nv in mioK i i ut'i: in thj nnwrnnr Hastings will sign the resolution.

I was told, before embarking, that n.najs one iiiiuaru imr um tun mmira oi neairn. i ueneve mat man ever saw tne Pacific. If he did, his face will remain a stranger to heaven forever. They say a mendacious Greaser called Balboa, standing on a bluff with his arm extended like that of a man trying to flag a waiter gave it that name Pacific, "the peaceful." and the ocean promptly applauded. I think it has kept on applauding ever since, at least the en core was still on rour weeks ago.

The others all had something mysterious which the obliging physician called by long names such as are eligible in messages by Grover Cleveland or to a Polish declaration of independence. Still on a ship that forbids profanity forward of the gangway, it is sweet and pleasant to have an accomplished linguist near you to call your malady hard names and sa.ss it in a dead language.

TWO BISHOPS FOR THE JOB. The Real One Says the Other Got His Position at the Navy Yard, A court of inmiiry composed of naval officers will look into a case of alleged false personation among the laborers at the League Island Navy Yard. The charge is brought by Richard H. Bishop, a colored man living in Philadelphia, who says that his card of appointment sent out from the navy yard office last week fell into the hands of Joseph Ripley, in some mysterious manner, and that Ripley assumed both the name of "Bishop" and the coveted position. The latter is worth $1.84 a day.

A Pane as Speaker. "Spider" Reagan, a West Chester lad. who enjoys the reputation of being the best page in the House of Representatives at Harrisburg.is a "leader among leaders." At frequent intervals when the House is not in session, the pages to the number of perhaps a score hold a mock session, during which many imaginary laws are made, and other business of importance is transacted. "Spider" is always called upon to preside as speaker, and the boys say that he can give Hon. Thomas B-.

Hr.

Schults. The jury in the case of Joseph Fish-sr, of Alleikown, vs. Joseph Keller, of North Whitehall, returned, a verdict this morning of $37 for the plaintiff. Soon after the election last November Mr. Fisher, who Is a saloon keeper in the Sixth Ward, went gunning with three companions.

They trespassed on Keller's farm, in North Whitehall.be-low Laui-y's. He ordered them off. Fisher wasn't in a hurry to leave and entered into an alteration with Keller. After quite a wordy scrap Keller shot one of Fisher's dogs. Fisher sued for $100 damages, saying' the dog was an absolutely pure blooded imported English fox hound.

Ex-County Treasurer Gossler said he had bought fox hounds for $8 which turned out to be such fine dogs that he had refused large suras for them. Harry Lomgnecker, also called; as an expert, said the average value of rabbit hunting fox hounds in North Carolina and the Shenandoah Valley was $5. Mr. Sowden was the lawyer for Mr. Keller and Messrs.

LichtenwalneT and Gillette repo-ese-mteld Mr. Fiisher. The lawyers fired all the dog law in the books at Judge Albright, decisions all the way from Maine to Indiana and then to New Orleans, and Mr. Sowden made a special point of the latest decision1 on dogs by the U. S.

supreme court. Judge Albright had evidently studied the question, more thoroughly than any of tihem and ruled according to the Pennsylvania supreme court's decision In the case of King vs. The ruling is that no. man has a right to kill a trespassing dog unless, he is destroying property or unless it is absolutely necessary to kill him to prevent him. from killing or destroying property.
