Wllkes-Barre, Feb. 20. Search Is be ing made throughout this section of Pennsylvania for a young man who believes his name Is Paul Jones and that he is an orphan, but who. In reality, is a member of an excellent New York family and the son of wealthy parents. He was apprenticed from an orphan asylum to M. C. Coughlln. a farmer of Frlendsville, Susquehanna county. ibut three years ago he ran away. He is about 20 years old. Seventeen - years ago his father die appeared, and It was believed, he had been murdered. His mother had noth Ing to support her and pfeced the boy in tne orpnan asyium. Now the missing father has returned. He had been "shanghaied" and taken on a long voyage, during which he was so badly injured onthe head that all memory of his former life was obliterated. Ho. drifted to the west. and there made a fortune in the gold I Vtiiminra mines of Colorado itnA Novxiln X' CU.

City Clerk Scully and ex-Coroner Ed ward Hart and Stewart Harris, his as sistants, didn't know a thins- about the card peddling along the line at the time that the S,-fll7th license (since January l) was issued at closing hours of the marriage shop this afternoon. The barker has had diplomacy enough to shun the Inner sanctum so far. Stew art Harris said when told of the card game he'd Just like to see him come In side. But Marty is wrought up Marty, who never can go into even the board of aldermen's chamber without taking off his hat. Clerks Harris and Hart have troubles enough as it IS, they say, without having new ones laid on their shoulders. The man with the baby carriages for sale defended his position when Marty Keese said angrily to him today: "Cease, my good man, cease!" on the ground that he is really a philanthropist.' These goods, he says, are guaranteed to last for many, many years, and, what is of even more Importance, so he says, baby carriages will be much higher the minute all theunnels to Brooklyn, not to mention the new bridges, are In working order. Furthermore, the presi dent is lively to dip into the causes of DaDy carriage panic at any moment. You can see yourself what will happen as soon as he Issues a message on the subject.
