May Never BE Captured.

The authorities having failed to furn.
ish any information as to the identity of
the murderers of the Arabian peddler,
John Mike, the coroner's jury last week
rendered a verdict to the effect that the
victim came to his death on September
20 near the bridge crossing over from
Plymouth by pistol shot fired at him
by some person or persons unknown,
and the crime was committed for the
purpose of robbery.
No clue to the perpetrators of this foul
crime has been obtained, and it is more
than probable that the guilty parties
will never be captured.

Adam Antolek and wife, of Sandy
Run, attended a christening yesterday
at No. Upper Lehigh, and while re-
turning home, near the G.. A. r. camp
ground, Adam fell out of the blackboard
with such force that his head struck the
wheels, stunning him for awhile. The
driver, thinking he was dead, made his
way to Freeland for help. A crowd soon
collected and went to the scene of the
accident, where they found the wife
leading him home. He was more fright
ened than hurt. The exaggerated report
of the accident created much excite
ment.

Young rhy.ieian,s Death.

From the Wilkes Barre Record.
1t is with deep sorrow that we are
called upon to chronicle the death of DR..
w. j. Edwards, of Warrior Run. The
physician was only 24 years of age, a
graduate of Jefferson medical college, of
Philadelphia. After leaving school he
settled down at Uniondale, Pa, but,
owing to i'll health, he was forced to
relinqush his practice there and moved
to his home at Warrior Run.
This change produced temporary re-
lief and it was not long before he was
again in the midst of a good practice
About a month ago, however, he was
again attacked with his first afiiction,
and in order to seek permanent relief,
he went to the Jefferson college, of Phila-
delphia, and there on Thursday under
went surgical operation from the effects
of which died on Friday. His body was
brought home on Saturday. He is sur
vived by his father, f. J. Edwards, of
Warrior RIM, and his sister, Mary Liz
Zie, of the same place, also a brother,
Edward, with Coke Bros. 4 Co. of
DriftOn

A Crcditable Piece of Work.

FROM the Neathcrly Herald.
The new supply wagon ordered ny the
Firemen's organization was brought to
town on Tuesday last, from Freeland,
where it was built by NJ. Halpin, car
riage builder. To say the least it is a
beauty, and most substantially built.
The frame is of iron and is put together
in the best possible manner. The box
is long with an Offset of about two-thirds
the space, making the back part of the
wagon easy of access. Steps are placed
on the sides and rear.
The painting is deep carmine trim
med with gold and silver leaf, and is in
keeping with the rest of the apparatus
owned by the department. On both
sides are the words "Weatherly V. f.
O."
The wagon attracts good deal of at
teation and much credit is given Mr..
Halpin the builder. He has made
frst-class job of it and Freeland can be
proud that there is located in their
midst an industry that turns out such
fine work.
The design was perfected by Chief w.
B. Lovatt and is just what the company
wants, Extra hose, nozzles, coal, etc,
can be placed therein very conveniently.
The wagon in every particular is first
class and the department will no doubt
prize it highly. The Weathery fire de-
partment can now make as good, if not
better showing than any organization
in the Valley.

the morning express to New York. 1t
is thought he committed suicide, as he

without needing the whistle or bell.
His body was thrown over the telegraph
wires, so great was the shock.
He had been very despondent of late
and said he did not want to live any
longer. Lack of work is the cause.

The numerous robberies committed
lately on the turnpike between Highland
and Freeland has given that road the
reputation of being a dangerous one to
travel. One of the highwaymen has
been captured and the proof against him
seems to be sufficient to keep him away
from here for awhile. About 80 o'clock
last night two young men of Sandy Run,
Neil Gallagher, Jr., and Elmer Anthony,
were on their way to this place. At the
railroad trestling they were held up by
two men who demanded their money.
Both darted past the robbers, and after
lively race succeeded in escaping.
They saw the faces of the men, how
ever.
Next came Mike Schawinsky, of Adams
street, quietly pursuing his way home
from visit to Highland friends. When
he reached the same spot, the trestling,
two forms appeared before him and
without word of warning one of them
began striking at him with small knife.
He was knocked down and a quart of
whisky and 80 cents, all he possessed,
were taken from him. He received
three gashes with the knife, but man.
aged to get to town and make his report .
The police force Immediately started
in pursuit of the highwaymen and in
about twenty minutes Officer Jones
caught Joe Antonevich, a Pole from
South Heberton. He was identified by
Messrs. Gallagher and Anthony as one
of the men who tried to rob them, and
was placed in the lookup for safe keep
ing over night. This morning Schawn-
sky was able to be around again and he
is positive that Joe was one of the two
who attacked him.
The highwayman was taken before
Squire Kline at 9 a. m, today and re-
committed for a further hearing at :
o'clock tonight.

REVENGE OF A LOVER.
SET OFF A CHARGE OF DYNAMITE
TO KILL AN ECKLEY WIDOW.

John Vinosky's Desperate Plan to Have
Revenge Upon Mrs Hasolshi, Who Re
fused to Marry Him-Captured IA High
wayman-Trouble at Sandy Run.
John Vinosky, Of Eckley, has been
wooing Mrs. Rasolski, fair widow of
that town, for several months, but he
has received very little encouragement.
Last week he made an impassioned ap-
peal to the idol of his heart to share his
joys and sorrows. His supplcations,
however, were of no avail, and blunt
refusal was the widows reply. John
brooded over the matter for few days,
and finally his revengeful disposition
oyercame his tender emotions and he
planned desperate plot. Had he sue
ceeded in carrying it out he would now
be candidate for the gallows.
On Saturday John procured four sticks
of dynamite and the necessary fuse to
set them off. These he hid until an
hour or SO after the sun went down,
then he sailed forth in the direction of
the widows residence. He carefully
arranged the dynamite by the side of
her dwelling, placed the fuse in position
and set Off the deadly charge.
The explosion that followed aroused
the town and the people of Eckley rush.
ed in the direction of the noise, expect
ing to find an awful sight. Johns lack
of knowledge about dynamite was very
fortunate for Mrs. Rasolslli. Owing to
the position in which he placed the pow
der it failed to demolsh the building,
as was intended. The whole force of
the charge came backward and very
little damage resulted. The house took
fire, but was quickly extinguished. The
widow was badly frightened, yet she
surmised at once who was the perpetra-
tor of the fiendish deed
On Sunday she was convinced that
her rejected lover was the guilty party,
and she came to Freeland and had him
placed under arrest Squire Buckley
gave him hearing and John spent last
night in the borough lookup. Officer
Welsh took him to the county Jail today.
