SHE SAVED HER FATHER.
Heroic Self. Sacrifice of an italian Cir

Heroic Self. Sacrifice of an italian Girl.
Investigations by the Camden police authori-
ties have revealed the full particulars of trag-
edy enacted Saturday night at Cedar Brook,
N. ]. Dominica Filippo Coco, an Italian,
aged twenty-nine years, Of Philadelphia. dur
ing quarrel with his sister-in-law, Giovina
Dionore, seventeen years old, plunged q sti-
Lotto into her breast causing almost instant
death. Coco came to this country in 1890,
landing at Philadelphia. He separated from
his wife some months ago, since which time she
has been living with her father at Cedar Brook
Coco left Philadelphia Saturday afternoon
with the avowed intention of trying to discover
his wife's whereabouts. He inquired around
Cedar Brook for his father-in-law's residence
and finally located the house, which he reached
at about dusk. He did not enter the house, but
called for his wife to come outside.
This she declined to do, being afraid of him.
but her sister went out and engaged in CONVEX
sation with the husband the father, mean
while. standing in the doorway. Finally
Coco became enraged at something said BY the
father, and, drawing stiletto, he attempted to
reach the old man, declaring he would kill him.
but the daughter threw herself before him. cry
ing out:
have killed me.'
Coco thereupon plunged the weapon into
the girls breast and ran away. He spent the
night In the woods, and, eluding the searching
parties that were on his trail, went to Camden,
where he was arrested upon alighting from the
train. The wife and her father were brought
as witnesses, and they, together with Coco,
told their stories through an interpreter to the
coroner.

THE GALENA FLOATS AGAIN.
Successful Efforts of the Tugs to Pull Her or
the Sand.


the Sand.
The United States steamer Galena was foated
off Gay Head yesterday by steam tugs William
Slater, Confidence and Elsie, by the aid Of
the ships anchor, which was carried out The
Galena arrived at Vineyard Haven in tow at 9
pm and lies alongside the wharf at the head of
the harbor. The steam pumps were put aboard
the Galena Friday nigh. with the intention
Of making an effort to pump the water from the
lower hold to enable the ammunition, &C., to
be taken from the ship. When the pumps were
set at work it was found that the ship could be
readily pumped out, and it was then decided to
endeavor to hoather. Everything movable was
taken from the ship by lighters, and at high
water Friday and Saturday tugs hauled ON her
moving her o little at every attempt.
Yesterday morning fresh wind occasioned
considerable swell, causing the ship to rise and
fall in her bed, thereby enabling the tugs to
haul her afoet. The Galena leaked yesterday
only about one and one-haif inches per hour
which indicated that there were no holes in her
bottom, which is probably only strained some
what. When ashore her hull was badly hogged
giving her the appearance of being broken in
two, but since being foated she has come back
to nearly her proper proportions. Lieut. Com
ship. is awaiting orders from the Navy Depart
ment at Washington, and until they are re-
ceiyed it cannot be said what disposition will
be made OF tine ship. The work Of floating
United States tug Nina will commence at once.
She lies In the same position as when she first
stranded, and 1t Is thought she can be foated
without much difficulty.

Roughs at q Chinese Funeral.

The Cinnamon Of Pistsburg, contrary to the
general belief in regard to their burials, do not
send their dead to China, but own q neat lot in
Uniondale cemetery, in which they are in
tered. Yesterday afternoon one of their num-
Der, Jeu Seu. was buried with every rite and
observance attending Chinese obsequies. Jeu
Sen was high Mason, and long procession of
Celestials followed the remains to the grave.
Here disgraceful scene ensued, brought about
by some fifteen hundred Caucasinns, who had
trampled over graves torn down shrubbery
and jostled the timid mourners in order to
crafty their curiosity. The Chinese reverently
placed burning joss sticks, perfumed paper and
printed prayers beside the grave only to have
them almost snatched out of their hands by the
excited mob. They also wrapped small coins
in paper and scattered them on and in the
grave. but boys and men snatched them up and
fought furiously for possession of the curious
mementoes. Cat calls, jeers and howls from
the vulgar crowd added to the shameless scene
that Pittsburg heartily condemns. the excuse
being that the riotous crowd was only made up
Of the idle, vulgar and lawless.

An Important Meeting In Baltimore Yests
day-Ringing Speech Of Simon Wolf.

An Important Meeting In Baltimore Yestsr
day-Ringing Speech of Simon Wolf.
Baltimore Hebrews met yesterday afternoon
in tho Concordia Annex Hall, Baltimore, TO ex
press their sentiments as to the treatment no
corded members of their race by the Gear o.
Russia. Rev. Henry Schneeberger, president
OF the Baltimore branch Of the Jewish Alliance
presided over the meeting and delivered an ad-
dress. He was followed by Louis e. Levy, q
member Of the executive committee Of the
alliance, and by Simon Wolf Of this city, treas
urer Of the alliance.
Mr.. SIMON VOLTS REMARKS.
Mr.. Wolf, in the course of his remarks, said:
II ask no one to 60 into this movement look
ing at those we seek to benefit as outcasts. It
comes home to US in the Hottest conception of
duty to welcome these people to our shores as
brothers and sisters. Who tells us that we are
better than the meanest and lowest Of them?
Am l. because fortune or Providence has given
me the power to arouse enthusiasm, better
than MIR. Simon Schleminsky of Russia, who
has been trodden upon by fate? We must
have united Hebrew people for the purpose
Of accomplishing a great good The nation
that has solved 80 many problems for the good
OF the world, that has welcomed so many to its
shores, will help to settle this problem also.
The jews of the United States will rise en-
.-o7oo- We say 70 THESE oppressed people,
Come, we'll assimilate you. Wen do our duty
to you, as We hope God in the last day Of judg-
ment will do His duty to usr The Almighty
has placed in your hands the power to amei-
1orate the wretched, and you should do it. Our
alliance was formed partly to see that the Jew
coming to this country is made as soon as pos
sible worthy and loyal citizen. Here Jew and
GENTLE, blahometan and Christian stand upon
the same plane Of doing what is right. Money
will BIO needed for the purpose OF educating
these people, Of civilizing many of them who do
not understand the modern ideas of home life,
OF hygiene and of cleanliness. The United States
is large enough to hold every man and woman
whom the Car of Russia may drive from
his empire. We want to teach the man who
comes here to do something nobler than
carry pack on his back. make prophecy
that in less than two years 100, 900 contributing
members will be enrolled under the banners Of
the Jewish Alliance. I want every man and
woman here to be o missionary, going from
house to house and asking aid for this addi-
tional charity. In doing so you will make
yourselves better. 1t is not only money that
these people need; it is kind words. Seek
them out; be gentle and patient with them.
Let business men give portion of their time
to the work, so that it may not be said that
materialism has warped the American Jew.
Let US show that notwithstanding all the in
fanny which has been heaped upon US the Jew
stands erect now as in the past"
Other speakers were Prof. Fabian Franklin,
Rev. Dr. Benjamin Szold Rev. DR.. Tobias
Schanfarber and B. II. Hartogensis.
