KILLED BY A OATS BITE.
Victim Died Raving, Screaming and Froth.
ing al the Mouth.

Edmund Paul, aged 81, died at
Mahanoy City from hydrophobia Fri
day morning in horrible agony. He
suffered from violent muscular con-
traction and frothed at the mouth.
When a drink of water was offered
him he raved and gave utterance to
unnatural sounds, and the six men in
attendance were hardly able to con
troll him.
Once he tried to jump from his
bedroom window and subsequently
tried to smother his wife with a
pillow.
Two years ago he was bitten by a
pet cat but was never bothered by it
until short time ago, when he was
taken i'll. The deceased was dele
gate to the last four conventions OF
the State Fireman's Association. He
was assistant engineer of the Citizens
Steam Fire Company, of Mahanoy
City, and past grand of the lnde-
pendent Order of Odd Fellows.

VOL. 81
EARLY MORNING FIRE.

The residents of Bloomsbury were
aroused from their slumbers about
two o'clock on Monday morning by
an alarm of fire, and in short time
people from all parts of the town were
hurrying to the scene of the fire,
which occurred on East Third Street,
the barn, and carpenter shop, be-
longing to Eli Jones, being totally
destroyed, and a frame dwelling
house, belonging to the John Jones
estate very badly damaged. How the
fire originated is mystery, as there
had been no fire kept in the building,
and there was nothing stored in the
place that fire could start from.
The fire must have been burning
for some time before it was noticed
as it had gained so much headway
by the time the fire companies reach
ed the scene, that the barn was en-
tirely enveloped in flames and could
not be saved. 1t looked for time as
though the surrounding houses would
burn, but stream of water was ap-
piled, and as there was nc air stirring,
1t was soon gotten under control.
The house which was so badly
burned was being occupied by Geo.
Runyon and family, florist in the
employ Of ]. l.. Dillon. He had no
insurance on his household goods,
which were all more or less damaged.
The barn and carpentershop con.
tanned about twenty bushels of corn,
a buggy, truckwagon, a couple sets of
harness. ropes, pulleys and tackle for
moving buildings, and complete set
of carpenter tools, all of which burn
ed up. There was some insurance on
the buildings.
Bloomsburg has been very forum
ate as far as fires are concerned, as this
was the only fire of any size that has
occurred for some time.
The fremen complained about the
condition the plugs were in, as they
say it was fully five minutes after they
had attached before they were able to
get any water.

ladies, with flags, bunting, japanese
lanterns, and other decorations. There
was about forty couples present, and
all report having a delightful time.
The music, which was furnished by

of ice cream, cake, and other nice
things were served.

PREFERRED MORPHINE TO
HANGING.

Abram T. Eckert, who was to have
been hanged in the county Jail at
Wilkes Barre Tuesday morning be-
tween ten and twelve o'clock for the
murder of Frederick Bittenbender,
took a dose of morphine Tuesday
morning and died shortly before noon.
Luzerne county has never known
sensation like that of Tuesday on the
date of hanging Eckert seemed
well buoye1 up with hope and able to
60 through the ordeal without finch
ing.
The following is the history of the
crime
Eckert was janitor of the high
school at Nanticoke and had an
imaginary grievance against Frederick
T. Bittenbender, who had but recent
ly been elected school director. For
some time Eckert had been neglect
ing his work at the school house and
Blttenbender spoke to him about it,
and told Eckert he was in danger of
losing his place unless he was more
attentive to his duties as jantor. AS
Bittenbender and his father were driv-
ing up Main street, July 7, Eckert,
who was standing In front of the
First National Bank, called to Bitten
bender that he wished to speak to
him. The latter stopped his horse
and Eckert approached the carriage,
saying Fred, it seems to me you
have grudge against me-"
Bittenbender denied this. saying
that all he wanted of the janitor was
for him to look after his duties at the
school in a proper manner. Hardly
was the last word out of his mouth
when Eckert sprang backward from
the carriage, drew revolver and TAX
ing deliberate aim fired. The bullet
entered Bittenbender's right eye,
causing almost instant death. Eckert
fired two more shots, one taking effect
in the head and the other in the left
breast. He was arrested and brought
to Wilkesbare and placed in Jail. He
was tried at the January term of
court and convicted of murder in the
first degree. He was granted three
respites in order that his case might
be presented to the pardon board,
but his attorneys never secured suffi-
cient evidence to warrant them in
going before the board on an applica
ton for a Communication of sentence.
Coroner Mckee was notified OF his
death and post mortem examination
was held. The stomach, liver, lungs
and kidneys were removed by the
prison physician and will be submit
ed to a chemical analysis. AS soon
as this can be accomplished the cor
oner's jury will reconvene, after which
an investigation will be made in order
to ascertain if possible where the
poison came from.
Eckert's son called at the prison
Tuesday afternoon for the remains of
his father and took them to his late
home in Nanticoke, from where his
funeral took place Wednesday. Be-
fore young Eckert left the prison the
warden said to him
" Somebody has supplied your
father with poison. Do you know
anything about it ?"
81 do not" he replied. &" I never
for moment thought my father want
ed to die in that way"
Where the poison came from will
in all probability remain mystery
forever.

Business Men Viotimized.
Post 0ifce inspectors Make an Important
Arrest.

Charles Rubinsky, of the firm OF
Rubinsky & Freedman, Of Shenan-
doah, Pa, was arrested last week by
Deputy United States Marshal Myers
and Hugh J. German, Post Office In
spector attached to the Philadelphia
division, charged with making illegal
use Of the United States mails.
WORKED FOR SEVERAL YEARS.
He, with Harry, Charles and Abe
Yarowsky, have been charged for FIVE
or six years, the officers say, with de-
frauding merchants in Philadelphia,
Chicago, H., New York, and Boston,
Mass, out of many thousand dollars
worth of goods. Their method was
to order goods through the mails,
which upon arrival were stored in
some ut-of-the-way place and were
disposed of at leisure, the shipper
never being able to discover their
whereabouts.
PLENTY OF ALIASES.
