A Priest Missing,

Rev. Father Kassolko pastor of the
Hungarian Catholic church, Hazleton,
left on Friday last, and sent a letter to
his Pensioners saying th he would not
likely come back. In the letter he sent
he said that he was being prosecuted by
his enemies and that he could no longer
submit to it, and that it would be better
for all if he absented himself.
His trouble arises out of several libel
suits in which he became involved
through the Slavonic newspaper called
the Jednota, of which he was one of the
editors. The suits were entered against
him by Editor Roveniok, of the N0oiny,
published at Pittsburg
This war among the Hungarian fac
tions has caused considerable bad blood
in many sections of the state, and every
day it seems to be growing worse, and
this preying on the mind Of Father Kas-
salko prompted him to leave this section.
He drew his money from one of the
banks, and it is now claimed by some of
the Pensioners that he took with him
some that belonged to the parish.
This part of the story is not yet con-
firmed, for it is known that whatever
funds the church had deposited, was in
the name of the trustees, and could not
be reached by any other person. How
ever, more will be known about the
matter in day or two.-Speaker.

The Derringer Murder.

Besta Yeager, who was shot on Satur-
day evening by an Austrian at Derrnger,
died at A. NJ. on Monday. The
murder which was shrouded in mystery,
occurred somewhat in the following
manner.
A party of Austrians from Derringer
were at Weston where a dispute arose
over some trifling affair. On arriving at
Derringer, David and Emanuel Alber-
ii ma repaired to the boarding house of
Joseph and Besta Yeager an knocked
at the door.
They were denied admittance, but
were told to come next day.
After repeatedly requesting that the
door be opened Joseph Yeager come out
and was struck with a pick handle on
the head by David Abertina, Telling him
to the ground. When Besta Yeager
made his appearance, he was shot by
Emanuel, from the effects Of which he
died.
Deputy Coroner Buckley was notified
and empanelled a jury and ordered Dr.
d. A. Huebner, of Derringer, to hold
a post mortem examination. The jury
met on Tuesday and Wednesday, heard
q number of witnesses, among whom
was one who saw the shots fred and
saw the revolver in Albertina's hand.
They returned a verdict that Besta
Yeager came to his death from the eff
fects of pistol shot wound inflicted by
Emanuel Albertina, the same bein i.
done with murderous intent.
David was arrested on Sunday morn
ing by Constable Levi Hartranft and
given hearing before Squire Dinke-
lacher, who committed him to Wilkes
Jail. Emanuel is still at large, but
strenuous efforts are being made to cap
ture him. The dead mans brother says
he will spend 5000 in prosecuting the
guilty parties.

Running Pumps by Electricity.

The first electric pump to be intro
duced in the mines has just been placed
in operation at the colliery of the Con-
nell Coal Company at Duryea, two miles
from Pittston. The pump is working
satisfactorily in every respect. 1t is at
tracing considerable attention from col
liery operators and managers.
1t is believed that electricity will soon
be put into general use for pumping pur-
poses in the mines, because of the many
advantage that it offers over steam for
this work
One of the principal advantages pos
sesspd by the electric machine is the
cheapness with which the power can be
transmitted into the mine workings COM
pared with the cost of steam pipe and
fixtures.
Then, in many mines, the steam escap-
ing from the exhaust Of the pumps pene-
trates the roof, making it very brittle
and therefore dangerous. By the intro
duction of electricity this difficulty is
avoided.
AS to the attention required by an
electric pump as compared with that re-
quired by steam pump, the experiments
made at the above colliery prove it to be
mnch less.

A Real Musical Comedy.

John r. Franz Cumpson, in "The
Merry Cobbler," supported by COM
pany of comedians seldom seen together,
drew full house here Monday even
ing.
The audience was kept in continual
laughter from the rise to the fall of the
curtain. Mr.. Cumpson, it can be said.
is one of the cleverest German dialect
comedians on the stage, and has a light
tenor voice of silvery quality, which is
in itself rare charm. The entire com
pany was above par.
A clever piece of acting was that of
Miss Martha Ricketts, as Gertrude" !"
the sister of Franz" (Mr. Cumpson),
whose dramatic ability is so great as to
place her on level with some of the
New York stars. The emotional scenes,
especially, were very good.
Messrs. Bertram and Willard are well
qualified for their parts, as the acting
showed. Notably among the company
are Miss Lena Onthank, Miss Ella
Chandler, a very clever soubrette; R. b.
Holland, and Harry Mcdonald, clever
negro delineator.

Gywllym events Memory.

Today the Gywllym Gwent eistedd-
is being held in Scranton. This will be
one of the biggest musical events that
has taken place in the eastern part of
the state.
The competition in all cases will be
spirited and none but the very best with
in radius of several miles will compete.
The proceeds go towards erecting a
monument to Gywllm Gwent, the cele-
brated musical composer of the Wyom-
ing valley.
Gwent as composer compared favor
ably with any Wells musician and in
fact his work is stamped with that
which cannot be effaced, an indication
of high musical genius.
Many of his compositions are now
known throughout the world especially
in his native land, Wales, as the highest
pieces of merit by Welsh composer.

On Trial for Murder.

The trial of Carmel Tucci, charged
with the murder of John Unko at Tom
hicken, began at Wilkes-Barre on Mon
day. The accused is an Italian. The
prosecutor is Chief oil Police Polgran, of
Hazleton. He claims that the two men
were fighting and that Unko was so
severely kicked and bruised that he died.
When Tucci was captured he went
with the police and told them where
Unko's body was. The accused was in
hiding directly after the murder and
wanted to get out of the country.
He had about $50 in the bank and in
structed Frank DePierro, of Freeland,
to draw this for him. When DePierro
went to the bank he was arrested and
obliged to reveal the place where Tucci
was hiding.
The prisoner is being defended by at
torneys T. R. Martin aud John D. Hayes,
and Assistant District Attorney O'Boyle
is conducting the prosecution.
The jurors are: Abram Andrews,
Hollenback; Edward j. Fallon, Hazle-
ton; Ira Carle, Kingston; Wm D. Evans,
Pittston; A. j. Lenahan, Sugar Notch;
Freeman Kinney, Newport; VIM. Meix-
ell, Salem John Keller, Wyoming; Thos.
Scott, Wilkes-Barre; Lewis Brown,
Wilkes-Barre; John Judge, Plains; VIM.
II. Broadhead, Wilkes-Barre.
DR.. Mcclure, of Conyngham was the
first witness. He was called to see
Unko on the Sunday following the as
sault. Unko complained of severe pain.
He had cut on the right side of the
head. There were two or three blue
marks on the abdomen, about one and
one-half inches long. Unko lived until
Monday afternoon.
The trial was continued on Tuesday
and much damaging evidence against
Tucci was produced.
At yesterdays session several more
witnesses were examined, among them
DIR. L. w. Rutter, of this place, who
gave expert testimony as to the cause of
death. Tucci was put on the stand,
and he denies everything in connection
with the murder, stating he was not
even near where it occurred at the time.
In their plea before the jury for the
prisoner the defense attorneys claimed
the prosecutor had not established
Tucci's guilt, but in his charge to the
jury Judge Woodward said that this has
been done.
The jury went out last night, and
nothing has since been heard from it.

Investigating Keck's Case.

The coroner of Lehigh county and his
jury. after holding long session, have
reached no conclusion concerning the
way in which Murderer Keck came in
possession of the poison that ended his
life. The general impression is that he
had the arsenic some time before the
day he took it.
One fact is assured. 1t was a scien-
tific dose and must have come from
skilled hands. The hearing was adjourn
ed until Friday when Sheriff Miller,
who was not in town, will be heard, and
also DR.. John Marshall, of Philadelphia,
who made the scientific examination of
Keck's stomach.
