Was He Murdered?

Eleven Polanders of Locust Summit re-
ceived their monthly pay and purchased a
goodly supply of beer and whiskey at Mt.
Carmel. About midnight trainmen and pass
ing miners heard II terrible noise coming from
the Polanders' house, also yells and cries of
pain. In the morning all were at their work
with the exception of John Maliskie. The
men all bore marks of a fight the night be-
fore. Everything went well until some berry
pickers found the body of Maliski in a clump
of laurel bushes near the house. The body
bore signs of violence, being cut in several
places and covered with bruises, as if made
by some blunt instrument. The Polanders
say that Maliski died from eating poisonous
berries. An inquest will be held.

The Wilkinson Opening.

The formal opening of l.. J. Wilkinson's
store and new building at the southeast cor
ner of Main and Lloyd streets Saturday was
an auspicious event. The store was thrown
open in the afternoon and until q late hour
at night people entered and passed out of the
store in continuous lines. The arrangement
and general appearance of the store were
highly complimented by the visitors. The
display windows presented an especially at
tractive appearance. They were dressed for
the occasion by Mr.. \. Z. Jay, of Philadel-
phia, an expert in that line. The visitors
fully endorsed all that the HERALD said
about the new place a few days ago and Mr..
Wilkinson feels that the time and money he
has spent upon the establishment is fully APP
preciated by the public. In the evening the
Lithuanian Band gave a concert under the
direction of Prof. Zeitz. Plants and flowers
were profusely distributed about the store
and made a very pleasing effect in connec-
ton with the decorations.

AN IMPosToR.
Unsuccessful Attempt to Get Money IN q
Fnrged Letter.

This morning a boy called at the parsonage
of the Primitive Methodist church and pre-
scented a note to the pastor, Rev. James
Moore, reading as follows
Mrs. Moore, will you please lend me u dollar
till this evening and oblige,
Mrs. WILLIAM FIsHBURN.'
Rev. Moore went out to the street to see the
woman the boy said was waiting for answer
to the note. She had disappeared, but after
some watching Rev. Moore succeeded in over
taking on South Pear alley a woman who was
identified by the boy who delivered the note.
The woman denied that she was Mrs. Fish
burn, or that she had sent the boy rs a mes
senger. The boy was not present when Rev
Moore accOsted the woman, but he subse-
quently saw her and declared that she was
the person who sent him with the note to the
parsonage. No arrest was made. Rev. Moore
notified William Fishburn of the occurrence
and learned that Mrs. Fishburn had made no
application for a loan from anyone. Mr..
Fishburn resides near the Turkey Run
colliery, being employed there as stable boss.
He says that twice people have succeeded in
unlawfully getting money and goods on his
name, but he has not been able to trace
them. Rev. Moore says the woman in this
case weighs from 1875 TO 1876 pounds and wore
q black skirt and light colored waist.

THROUGH


Park via Pennsylvania Railroad.
The Yellowstone Park is one of the most
wonderfully attractive regions of the world.
Its beauties of scenery, the wild grandeur of
its mountains and Canons, compel the adnira-
ton of every visitor, while its phenomenal
geysers and curious meteorological formations
make it a rich field for the investigation Of
the scientist. Univeral interest attaches to
it, and in order that the natural desire to
visit it may be accomplished in the most
satisfactory manner the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company has arranged for a tour cover
ing a period of sixteen days, leaving New
York and Philadelphia Thursday, August 27.
As the tour will be run under the personally
conducted tourist system inaugurated by the
above-named company, il is hardly necessary
TO give the assurance that il will be arranged
in the most complete ann 1t might be
well to state, however, that no other means
of seeing the park thoroughly is comparable
To that afforded by a well-ordered personally
conducted tour.
A special train, consisting of a dining Pull
man vestibule drawing-room sleeping, com-
partment, and observation cars, which will
be the best that can be secured, will be pro-
vided, in which passengers will live en- route,
and whenever the journey is broken the
choicest rooms in the leading hotels will be
reserved for the use of the tourists for which
regular rates are paid, so that the guests,
although members of a party, enjoy all the
privileges of individuals who may have made
their own selections.
The party will be conducted throughout by
"a tourist agent especially selected for his
ability and experience, with chaperon to look
after the comfort of lady passengers.
The route, covering every necessary expense,
will be 500 from Boston, and 5000 from New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington,
and Harrisburg proportionaUe rates from
points.
Detailed itinerary will be sent on applica
ton to Tourist Agent, POS Washington street
