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.

A year ago he was struck on tho

of cards announcing a closing-out sale
In Third avenue of oaby carriages, roll

irons and other woman weapons that
are bandy to have about the house in
case of a variance of viewpoint. -
If he doesn't stop It he Is swing to
fret an entirely new set of artificial
umps Installed forthwith that will
make his business bump look like the
surface of the bride's first cake.
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.

Red Boy mine have been started again
and the mine will soon be '.n condition
for. operation. The monster pumps
throw out about 600,000 gallons of
water every 24 hours and at this rate
the mine will be ready for operations In
about SO days. Water has risen to the
very highest points In the workings of
the mine, and the machinery and equip
ment have been greatly damaged, al
though it will require but little repairs
to start the wheels to turning when the
Immense, quantities of water have been
pumped out. The Red Bov mine was

that It will again occupy a front rank.
