He was engaged In transferring mules

head resting on the carriage floor in q

In few minutes the trunk was re-
covered from the sump and the remains

Police LOTUS of that city took the men
into custody and information against
them was lodged before Mr.. Colborn
who committed the men to Jail to await
further hearing. In their possession
were found counterfeit s. notes that
showed much cleverness in their manu-
facture.
During the early part Of the week
Williamsport and its vicinity We're
flooded with counterfeit S. bills that are
supposed to be of the same issue as
those circulated by the men arrested at
Pittston. The men who showed the

as Italians and they have thus far
evaded arrest.

part of the same gang. Deputy United

to- Williamsport for one of the coun-
terfeit bills circulated there for the pur-
pose of comparing 1t with the bills

SUICIDE IN Green RIDGE
". T. Thompson, Of SandersOn Avenue.
Ends His Life with q Rope.
FIRE ENGINE HOUSE THE SCENE
Deceased Went Up Stairs In That Part of
the General Phinney Engine House
Used rs Barn and Put an
End to His Existence.

Brooding over imaginary troubles and
melancholia from occasional attacks of
Illness, w. T. Thompson, OF Sanderson
avenue, hanged himself with rope
from a beam in that part of the Cen
eral Phinney Engine house used as
barn..
The rash deed was committed either
yesterday morning or the night before;
1t Is not certain which, but the body
was found at 9 o'clock yesterday after
noon, dangling from the BEAM The
discovery was made by II. A. Altemus,
one of the permanent men OF the COM
pany, when he went upstairs to get
oats for the horses.
The quarters are situated at 1888
Dickson avenue. Thompson, who was
about 43 years old, was at one time a
member of the company and was in
the habit of spending good deal OF his
leisure time around the engine house
He was there a good part of Wednes-
day afternoon and came again in the
evening.
Last Seen ut 10 O'clock Wednesday Night.
When Permanent Man .Aitemus was
retiring at IL. 30 he observed Thompson
around. That was the last seen of him
alive. He made sure that the rope
would not slip when he fixed 1t around
his neck and fastened it to the beam
above him. The knot was a double one
and everything was apparently done
with view that there would be no
failure about the job.
His desires in this respect resulted
very satisfactorily The rope was
tightened strongly around his neck and
it was securely bound to the beam. Be-
for ending his life he took OFF his shoes.
coat and vest and went about his de-
struction In a very matter of fact way.
The face was tinged with the marble
color that attends death by strangula-
tion.
Coroner Longstreet reached the scene
of the suicide late In the afternoon.
empaneled a jury and held an inquest.
There was nothing to raise. any doubt
but that death was the deliberate act
of the unfortunate mans hand and a
verdict was accordingly rendered to the
effect that the deceased came to his
death by his own hand from strangula-
tion.
Thompson was unmarried and lived
with his folks on Sanderson avenue.
He was a machinist by trade and skilled
at It. Illness Is thought to have un-
| settled his mind.
