Antonio Rizzuto, the Pleasant Hill
murderer, who is awaiting execution in
the Pottsvile Jail and who was to be
hanged on Thursday, has been respited
by Governor Pattison. 1t is alleged that
the prisoner is insane and some evidence
was produced to show that he suffered
mental alteration in the old country.
1t is also alleged that his ancestors were
crazy and that insanity is hereditary in
the mans family.
The plea was forcibly presented and
the governor consented to stay the ex-
ecution until February 6, 1895.

ment of the bonds, in return for which
the railway company is to turn over 81
per cent of its capital stock to the govern
ment as present.
The survey is now completed from the
Mississippi to the Delaware. Construc-

Do NOT await the first frost before
you ascertain whether your CRATES are
in proper repair. Something may be
wrong and the first fire you kindle may
cause conf1agration. or the old CRATE
will not draw, or it will permit coal to
fall through before being thoroughly
burned, thus aggregating loss dur
Ing the season greater than tho cost
OF a new CRATE. An old CRATE causes
terminable trouble. Get new one.
Take time by the forelock and make
your preparations for winter, thus OBJ :

faco of tho earth" by the expansive power
of steam which had generated within it.
From tho earliest times Of which there
Is any record streams of cold water had
been plunging under tho peak on ono side
and escaping in the shape of steam and
boiling hot water on the other. That the
escape valve" was not sufficient to let off
all the steam generated In the passage of
tho water through the redhot interior of
the peak is evident because of the fact thnt
when the pressure became too great the
sides of tho mountain yielded, just ms
boiler would have done under like cir
oumstanccs, and an immense explosion
was the result.
The explosion Is said to have been heard
distance of over l ZOO miles and to have
caused absolute darkness in the vicinity
of the exploded peak upward of three
hours, during which time perfect torrents
of hot water and mud were poured down
from the immense heights to which they
had been hurled by tho forco of tho "pcnt
up furics' which caused tho disaster
The debris which fell after the explosion
covered an area of about 200 acres to a
depth varying from 10 to 100 feet on an
average, and in ono place where beauti-
full valley had existed but few hours be-
