were driven from heirhomes and forced
to wander many days in the wilderness.
Matters grew worse and worse until
the sympathy Of the people all over the
state was enlisted In their behalf, and
some Of the best minds in the COM
monwealth set to work to settle the
trouble. At last, in 1874, the troops We're
withdrawn. but another difficulty faced
the settlers, conspiracy was formed
by the SusGuehanna Company to re-
conquer the territory and make of 1t
a new state. New settlers were poured
into the valley, among whom was the
famous Ethan Allen and his Green
Mountain boys, and the original set
tiers were not only obliged to make a
stand against the Pennamites, but also
against their own people whose cause
they refused to espouse. A crisis was
reached In 17S6 when Pennsylvania
formed out of the disputed land the
County OF LuZerne, and also in 1857
when she confirmed the settlers in their
titles, thus putting an end to the Con-
necticut conspiracy. Next year, how
ever, through the influence of the land
holders the latter was repealed, and
not until the passage of the "Compro-
mise Act" In 1893 was there peace in
the valley. By this the settlers were
not only given the land, but also the
Pennsylvania claimants We're offered a
compensation for their loss in money
or property.
Thus ended border war which ex-
tended over a period of forty years,
and caused much unnecessary suffer-
ing and bitter feeling. "In the forum of
law, Connecticut, with title regular
on its face. failed justly. In the forum
OF equity, the Connecticut Settlers,
without other title than the 'possessio
pedis.' prevailed rightly" The dispute
was beneficial to our commonwealth,
In that 1t brought into it people
strong in purpose, faithful in duty and
untiring In industry, who. with the
Quakers, the Germans, the Scotch and
the Irish, have helped to make this one
OF the foremost states Of the Union.
NO better monument to the indefatig-
able energy of these Connecticut Yam
KEGS can be found, than this, our own
beautiful city Of Scranton.

given to him with as much more as he
possessed. If player sQuirmed or
whined in a game with her, the Paquita
invariably dropped her cards, pushed
the money at stake across the table to
the player, and quit the game. A
player she had once treated in this way
she would never play with again. And
to be ostracized by the Paquita meant
similar treatment from all her brother
gamblers. 1t was best to swallow your
feelings and lose, if lose you must, with
a smiling face and CHEEKY air.
There are numerous shootings grow

Man after man sought her favor. All
appeared to find it, with none possess

them all alike, save, perhaps, Brinsley.
She quarreled finally with him. II
came about thus: The Paquita was
playing whisky poker with rich cat
tleman who knew little Of the game,
and played it principally for the oppor-
tunity it afforded to chat with the Pa
quita. Brinsley became impatient over
Paquita's seeming slowness in breaking
her opponent.
One word led to another. The Pa
quita quit the game to argue with
Brinsley. At length her temper broke
loose. Grasping a knife she struck
viciously at Brinsley. The blade
caught his up-thrown arm, infiicting a
long wound. AS the blood gushed forth
Paquita turned and fed. Brinsley pur-
sued her unsuccessfuly. He returned
eventually to his gambling house.
When asked about the Paquita he was
wont to say:

A TRIPLE TRAGEDY
In Ray County, Mo, Rivaling the
Meeks Murder.
MOTHER AND TWO CHILDREN BUTCaERED
Evidence Points to Terrible Struggle
Between the Woman and Her AS
saiIant-The Husband Held
for Developments.

RICHMOND, Mo-, Oct. GA triple
murder rivaling in hideousness that of
the Meeks murder in Linn county a
few years ago, was committed on what
is known as the Watkins farm, eight
miles northwest of this city, Monday
night. Mrs Jesse Winner and two of
her children-a girl aged three years
and boy aged IL years-are the vic
tins. The husband and father, Jesse
Winner, Is coal miner, who works in
the mines in this city. The only other
member of the family is deaf and
dumb girl about eight years old, a
dauph ter of the murdered woman by a
former marriage.
Tuesday morning a neig Dor pass
ing by the Winner home, a one-room
log cabin, discovered a body lying in
the front yard, surrounded BY hogs.
and upon approaching found it was the
body of Mrs. Winner. After driving
the animals away, he gave the alarm,
and when other neighbors arrived
they went into the cabin and found the
little girl, lying in a pool of blood in
the southwest corner of the room, with
found on the floor, nearly under the
bed, his throat also being cut, the
wound being almost exactly like the
one on the neck of his sister All were
cold in death, and evidently had been
dead several hours.
In the cabin and about the yard were
evidences that fearful struggle had
been made by the woman in defense of
her children. A heavy wooden bot
toned chair in the house had been
split and broken in the scuffie. the
pieces being covered with blood
Mrs. Winner had met her death in
the yard, as bloody AK was lying by
her side, and near her feet was a fence
rail, upon which were blood and hair.
The murderer struck her a fearful
blow on the top of the head, cleaving
the skull and cutting one eye out. A
piece of the skull and tufts Of hair
were found fully eight feet from the
body. On one of her hands was a
knife wound, evidently made during
the struggleswith the murderer
Where the little deaf and dumb girl
was during the time of the murder is
not known. She can not converse in
the sign language and seems to be un-
able to make anyone understand her
To those who first arrived upon the
scene she went through the motions
of using a knife across her throat and
Of pounding her head, and then point
ed north, as if to indicate the direction
taken by the assassin.
Acting Coroner Baber held an in
quest over the bodies, and the jury re-
turned a sealed verdict, but recon-
mended the holding of Jesse Winner,
husband of the murdered woman, who
Is now in the custody of the officers.
Several suspicious circumstances have
occurred which convey the impression
that he knows something about the
murder. A report was current that a
single buggy had been seen, before
daylight, leaving the neighborhood in
agreat hurry. Officers have a good
description of the horse and buggy
and are in pursuit. Excitement runs
high.

THE ARMY And NAVY,
Secretaries Herbert and Lamont
Win Recommend,
IN THEIR COMING ANNUAL REPORTS,
The Expenditures of Large Sums oil
Money to Better Protect the Ma
ton from Attack by a For
eign Enemy.

NEW YORK, Oct Ca Sun special
from Washington says:
Both the secretary of war and the
secretary of the navy will urge in their
annual reports TO the president the
expenditure of large sums of money
during the next fiscal year to bet
ter protect the nation from foreign
attack. Secretary Herbert will
urge the building of additional bat
tie ships and torpedo boats, and
will outline a plan for charging the
navy until it has at least 20 battle
ships and 200 torpedo boats He will
contend that until that number of
battleships and torpedo boats has
been provided no further additions to
the cruisers should be made. The au-
thorities of the department maintain
that SO far no better type of battle
ship has been presented than the
Indiana and Massachusetts class.
and thus, for obvious reasons,
the navy will be stronger
when most of its battleships are of
the same type, speed and size. Battle
ships are regarded by the naval experts
as the back bone and mainstay of the
navy, and the more the country has
of them the safer it will be from at
tack
Secretary Lamont has already indi-
Gated that the next congress should
appropriate at least SIG, 1000, 900 to con-
tinue the project now being carried
out for coast defenses The secretary
will also urge legislation to establish
the three battalion formation, which
has been adopted by the armies of
every other civilized nation. Last year
the secretary recommended, as neces-
sary to effect the change, the repeal of
the limit of 25, 600 men, and the return
to the limit fixed by the act Of July Is,
1870. Congressional approval of these
two propositions would restore to the
effective force OF the army a bout 1000
enlisted men, and bring the actual
strength up to the nominal strength
prescribed by law. 1t would
increase the efficiency of the army 20
per cent, in numbers about 1Gl5 per
cent. and in cost of maintenance of
only about six per cent. Another in
teresting subject which he viii refer
to is staff reorganization. He will rec
ommend, as he did last year, that ex-
listing law be so modified as to fix the
term of flee of the head of
certain staff corps at speci-
fed number of years, and that
at the expiration of such period the
chief of such department, unless
reappointed, shall resume his duties in
his actual grade. He will further ad-
wise that the law on the subject be
amended so as to permit of the selec-
ton of the heads Of corps from officers
of the line.
The secretary will also advise a
slight reduction in the pay corps of
the army. He is of the opinion that it
is practicable to dispense with two
officers of the grade of major.
