ATTEMPTED MURDER.
A Hazieton Woman Desperately Attacked
by Her Husband on Saturday.

A Hazleton Woman Desperately Attacked
by Her Husband on Saturday.
AT Hazleton on Saturday Andrew
Juka repeatedly stabbed his wife with a
piece of iron and fatally injured her
Juka left his wife about three months
ago, and has since been living at Eckley.
The wife went to live with her daughter,
Mrs. Tara. The difference between the
father and mother grew out of the sale
of house which belonged to the oman,
and after considerable legal trouble Juka
made up his mind to kill his wife. With
this end in view he resolved upon two
plans. One was hanging, and in the
event of that failing he provided himself
with an implement which he felt sure
would do the work. The latter is a
piece of iron eighteen inches in length.
This he forged into a serviceable shape,
with handle to grasp and the end filed
down to needle point.
With the rope and this instrument of
death in his possession he called at the
house of his son-in-law on Friday even
ing. He remained over night, but
waited until Tara had gone to work
before beginning his murderous task
1t was about o'clock when he attacked
his wife. The rope he managed to get
around the ceiling joist, but when he got
the moose about the woman's neck he
found the ceiling was too low to work
satisfactorily. The womanin the mean
time begged and implored him to spare
her life. His daughter did everything
possible to save her mother, but their
efforts only enraged Juka all the more.
Like demon he attacked her with
the sharpened iron bar, and getting his
wife against the wall he endeavored to
pierce her heart with it. She fought
hard for her life, and in warding off the
iron it pierced her hand. Juka then at
tackled her head and body. The point
ed iron he drove into her repeatedly,
inflicting eight horrible wounds, one two
inches deep in her head and the others
in her back ranging from half an inch
to three inches in depth. The woman
sank exhausted on the floor, and her
daughter, terror-stricken, fled to the
neighbors for assistance.
The brute, thinking he had satisfied
his thirst for blood, ran away, but was
caught yesterday ,at Tresckow. Sym
pathetic neighbors took the injured
woman to the house of Dennis Coll,
where she received medical attendance.

A dispute which has arisen between
the members of the school board and
the teachers in the public schools of
West Mahanoy township, Schuylkill
county, seems likely to create good
deal of trouble in that district A num-
Der of the teachers are in rebellion
against the authority of the board and
the result is that their salaries have
been withheld and litigation commenced.
The district has not the required pop
ulation to constitute an Independent dis
trict, but as it has a large revenue chief
ly derived from taxes on the Girard
estate lands, the directors have employ
ed superintendent or what they term a
Supervising principal" to superintend
the schools of the district. The teachers
refuse to recognize superintendent
other than Professor Weiss, the county
superintendent, with the result above
stated.
j. Clande Brown, one of the teachers,
has entered suit to recover salary due
him and the probability is that the
right of the directors to employ super
intendent will be decided in the courts.

A Day of Accidents,

John j. Mclaughlin, aged IS, driver
boy in the Maxwell colliery, Wilkes
Barre, was kicked in the stomach by a
vicious mule on Friday. He walked to
his house, about a half a mile from the
the mine, and just as he placed his hand
on the door knob he fell dead. The
kick had injured blood vessel which
bursted, causing his death.
M. j. Hogan, employed in shaft of
the Pennsylvania Coal Company at
Pittston, was caught under a fall of coal
the same day and injured so badly that
he died shortly after being taken to his
home. He was aged about %, and was
a member of Company G, Ninth Regl-
ment. Hogan's father and one of his
brothers were both killed in the same
mine
John Franks, laborer in the Wana-
me mine, was instantly killed on Friday

Wreck on the Jersey Central.

A train of fifty cars, with two engines
attached, was wrecked on the Jersey
Central Railroad at Silver Brook on Fri
day morning. One engine was pushing
in the rear In passing the switch at
Silver Brook, the rails spread, throwing
the engine from the track. Before the
second engine could be stopped it had
pushed the fifty cars together and then
rolled down the embankment. The
first engine also went over the embank-
ment.
The engineers and trainmen escaped.
About twenty cars were broken to splin-
ters. No traffic could be run over the
road all day and the several colleries on
that branch were obliged to quit work
The wreck was the most complete which
ever occurred on that branch of the Jer.
sey Central Railroad.

A Profitable business.

Another attempt will be made at the
next session of the legislature to repeal
the oleomargarine law. The subject has
been brought before the public in the
western part of the state by certain men
who claim they represent Eastburn
Reeder, state food and diary commits
sioner, and who have been prosecuting
dealers and restaurant keepers. Each
successful prosecution means $50 for the
informant. This makes il a paying
business.
The detectives" enter a restaurant
and ordering meal slide their chip of
butter into an envelope. They turn it
over to chemist, and on the result of
his analysis base their suit. One such
detective is said to be making 5000 a
day out of the scheme.
1t is said that most of the alleged "de-
tectives" do not represent Commissioner
Reeder at all and several of the Pitts
burg aldermen, to whom most of the
"oleo" suits were brought, recently re-
fused to take any more, as they regard
them as cases of persecution. The spot
tiers are now taking their suits to justices
of the peace in outlying districts.

One Operator Shoots Another.

From the Hazleton Standard
On Tuesday morning J. A. Laats,
operator at the Church street depot,
accompanied by j. B. Leizer, night
operator at the Lumber Yard, started
out for days sport in the woods.
Nothing occurred to mar the pleasure of
the hunters until the noon hour. They
sat down within two yards of each other,
laying their guns beside them, and
began to eat their lunch. Laats was the
first to finish, when Leizer began to
throw pebbles at him. Laats told him
repeatedly to cease, but Leizer paid 10
attention to him, and again threw a
handful of pebbles.
Laats, anxious to escape being hit,
rolled over upon his gun, and the ham
mer being up, the gun went off. The
charge ploughed through the ground,
catching Leizer in the right thigh. A
number of shot were picked out, and
together the two came to this CITY, and
the wounded man was placed in charge
of DR.. Hutchison, who succeeded in re-
moving all the shot. Although very
sore, Mr.. Leizer is not ncapaciated from
duty

The house was packed full last night

what the great Nine Janauscheck, in her

eral portrayal of parts, the work of these
two remarkably gifted women is not dis
similar. The scenery is a big feature
and was received with loud applause.

agreement, on the other hand, Is to
pay certain sum for the services of
