SCRANTON, Pa, July 2.-Crezenzo Me-
rola was hanged in the yard Of the Lacka-
wanna county prison yesterday for the
murder of Emanuel Loro, a fellow coun-
tryman, more than two years ago. Me-
rola met his death unflinchingly, and with
the same Indifferent demeanOr which has
characterized him for the past few weeks
Though nearly three score murders have
been committed in Lackawanna county
within the last twenty years of its exist
ence, Merola is the first murderer to be ex-
ecuted. Three others are now under the
death sentence. Loro was barber, and
Merola owed him fifteen cents. Because
the barber asked him to pay up Merola
shot him dead.

PITTsToNs MINE HORROR.
No Possible Hope of Ever Reaching the
Entombed Men.

Entombed Men.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, July 2.--The situa-
ton at the Twin shaft remains unchanged.
The rescuers are bending every energy to
their work, but it is agonizingly slow, for
the task is gigantic. The mass Of ruins
caused by the fall of yesterday morning is
thought to be enormous, and through this
even a hundred Srong workmen can make
but little headway. The inevitable con-
clusion is, therefore, that it will be weeks
before the booSes are recovered, if at all
In regard to the reported tappings, Gen
eral Manager LAW said Tuesday night
one of the worllmen thought he heard
slight tapping. 1t was reported to us, and,
although we were quite certain that the
supposed tapping was but the slight
rumbling of the mine, we determined to
establish beyond n doubt whether or not
such was the case. We are now convinced
that the supposed tapping was but the
moving or crushing of the rock. Our men
all agree tkgt the rapping was not done
by the enc.snbed men"
The Pittston Item prints the following
significant article: 1T is time for every
one to learn the sad truth about the Twin
shaft disaster. There is no earthly use in
buoying up the hearts of the wives and
children, the sisters and brothers of the
unfortunate men with the hope that their
bodies will be recovered. There is no pos
sibility of their recovery. 1t would be as
easy to build bridge across the Atlantic
ocean as to cut way through the mass of
rock that has fallen. The men working
realize this The area of the cave covers
sixty-five acres, and in the center of this
area the unfortunate men lie buried
beneath thickness of rock of from 100 to
