IT WAS A CONSPIRACY.
BERkMAN SAID TO BE THE TOOL
OF CONSPlRATORS

The Police Claim to Have Discovered a
WelI-Laid Scheme Back of the Assault
Upon Frick-A Supposed Accomplice
Arrested.
PITTsBURG, July 26.-The murderous at
tack upon Henry @. Frick, chairman of the
Carnegie company, was not the work of a
Z crazy anarchist acting solely upon his own
impulses and imbued with the iisa that he
was doing the country service by Kidding
1t of great ironmaster. Instead it was an
outcome of a conspiracy of the worst ele
ments of the Russian anarchists deliberate
ly conceived, and Berkman, the would be
assassin, was either the tool or the willing
ally of the conspirators.
The first and important link in the chain
of evidence pointing toward this conclusion
was forged in the arrest of local anarchist

plating calling mass meeting of all the
miners and laborers of all the collieres
in Plymouth and others who are in SYM
pathy with the locked out strikers in
Homestead to devise some means of
lending them helping hand in their
struggles for their rights. The miners
and laboring classes in that section are
heartily in sympathy with their brother
workmen at Homestead and express
themselves quite freely of assisting them
to the fullest extent of their means.
From the general opinion expressed by
the people in Plymouth there is not the
least doubt but that every workingman
on the West Side of the valley would
donate literally when called upon. The
subject is being debated among the
miners, and it is their earnest intention
to call large public mass meeting in
the near future.

Removing Danger Signals.

For some weeks past certain parties
have made a practice of removing the
danger signals from the sewer excava-
tions, leaving them unprotected and in
such condition that persons driving at
night are liable TO 60 into them. This
has occurred so often that the borough
police have been instructed to arrest any
one found tampering with the signals,
and the perpetrators of the act will be
prosecuted to the full extent of the law,
no matter whether they regard their ac-
tions as joke or not. These lights are
put up for the benefit of the public, and
are very good things to let alone unless
somebody wishes to get into trouble.

a furlough to come East to see what
could be done in behalf of his brother,
William F. Keck, who is sentenced to
be hanged for the murder of old William
Nibch and his wife, will return to his
post to-day. During his visit Professor
Keck endeavored to get some of the
relatives of Nibch and his wife to sign a
petition TO the board of pardons in
behalf of William Keck. This they
refused to do. The case, however, will
be carried to the board of pardons.

Sunday Closing

Hazleton's BARRIERS have started Sun
day closing movement. In this they are
long way behind Freeland's tonsorial
artists, as it is impossible to find shop
open in this town on Sunday. The asso-
citation here is very strict with this rule,
and it is obeyed to the letter by every
barber in Freeland, South Heberton and
the Points. Sunday was formerly a
very busy day here for the BARRIERS, but
since every place is closed tight the peo-
pie got used to the new order of things
and everybody who gets shaved makes
it point to get into chair before ~ P.
M. on Saturday. Hazletonians will
make some progress if they initiate the
way things are run in this town.

John Mann, of Hazeton, tried to kill
himself on Tuesday by putting a bullet
in his head and two in his stomach.
He was found by his wife, who had him
taken to the hospital, where one of the
bullets was removed. He had been
drinking heavily for several days pre-
vious, and on Tuesday morning imagin-
ed he saw all sorts of hideous objects.
Thinking to get rid of them he went for
a revolver and shot himself. Mann is
well-known in Freeland through his
connection with st. Gabriel's band, of
which he is leader.

Mr.. Isaac N. Judson, a gentleman of fine
attachments, who held the professorship of
Latin and Greek in the st. Louis high
school. Between these two a warm friend
ship sprang up, which continued until
Professor Judson noticed, to his dismay,
that DR.. Breedlove seemed to be morbidly
fascinated by him. The dentist urged Jud-
son to give up his lodgings and room with
him
When the professor refused to accede to
this request, Breedlove became moody and
respondent and made two attempts to com
nit suicide. Physicians and specialists
were consulted, separation was tried, but
nothing served to destroy the i~nfatuation.
The affair eliminated recently, when Pro
fessor Judson went to his friends room
and found the latter with a pistol in one
hand and a letter addressed to him in the
other. DR.. Breedlove Immediately stepped
backward and fired a bullet into his tenn
pie, dying almost instantly. The letter
was found to contain protestations Of love
and the statement that the writer intended
to commit suicide, as he could not live
without Judson. Psychological students
will find much food for reflection in these
recent cases of perversion of that most
sacred of human emotions"-love.

The trial of the young medical student,
Carlyle w. Harris, on a charge of having
murdered his wife by morphine poisoning
exhibited an unbroken succession of sur
prises and remarkable condolences, and it
will probably go into criminal history as
the occasion when medical expert testi-
mony reached its maximum i'll tragic in
terest. The strangest coincidence per
haps is that which links it with the long
famous Stephens murder trial.
In 1S49 James Stephens married a wom-
an from the north of Ireland. A few
years later her nieces came from Ireland
and Stephens conceived a passion for one
of them. In 1857 the Stephens family suf-
fered from symptoms of poisoning and
Mrs. Stephens gradually declined and died.
A few months later an anonymous letter
urging the niece not to marry the young
man to whom she was engaged was traced
to Stephens. This started suspicion-or
rather it caused some people to speak out
what they already suspected. The corpse
of Mrs. Stephens was exhumed just one
year after her death, and arsenic was found.
The trial is memorable as one of the
first in which medical experts practically
made the verdict; and here is the re-
markable coincidence: DR.. Benjamin w.
McCready, the principal witness against
Stephens, was the grandfather of this
Carlyle w. Harris. Almost every physi-
clan of eminence then in New York testi-
flied. Stephens was convicted and hanged.
Equally interesting in the medical expert
line was the trial of Frederick Heggi, in
1872, on a charge of poisoning Fred j.
Siegfried, who had made a will in his
favor.
Two years and a half passed after burial
before the stomach was taken up and ex-
amined, yet the medical gentlemen de-
clared on oath that they found arsenic in
quantity sufficient to kill. The first jury
disagreed, the second rejected the expert
testimony as Incredible and acquitted
Heggi. The cases of DR.. Graves in Den
yer, and Mrs. Maybrick in London, are
fresh in the popular mind, and in both
cases it was medical expert testimony that
convicted. incidentally some jurists find
in these cases a strong argument against
cremation.

While Benjamin Franklin was born
in Boston he can be said to belong to
Pennsylvania as truly as does William
Penn, who was born in England, but
came here, as did Franklin, from Bos.
ton. And how many people in Philadel-
phia-or elsewhere in the United States
know that we are indebted largely to
Franklin for the stoves which less than
a century ago began to replace the fire
places and more crude arrangements fol-
CRATES warming u houses?
The Franklin stove, which in its days
of early development was merely a por-
table iron fireplace, with open front, in
which wood was burned to heat an apart
ment, was given its name because it was
invented by Benjamin Franklin, and
was really the connecting link between
the rude fireplaces of the last century
and the stoves of today.-Philadelphin

the whole of hat almost waterless coun-

moisture from the air, retains it in con-

She hetcheled the fax and carded the

she dipped tallow candles, to light the house

oven. Yes; and when she was forty years of
age, she was already an old lady whose best
