the hosting record made on the 10th

The Facts Did Not Please.

The report of the assault upon Drift
ton Austrian on the 18th inst, as pub
lishcd in the TRIBUNE on Monday last,
did not please our contemporary, the
Press. 1t appears that the paragraph
relating to the removal of the arc light
on East Front street ruillcd somebody s
feathers. Our article, however, was
published strictly according to the facts.
The light which was removed formerly
hung almost directly over the spot where
the man was assaulted, and the dark
ness prevented the residents of the
vicinity from seeing the faces of the men
or learning the number engaged in the
fracas. A TRIBUNE representative was
on the scene a few moments after the
assault took place, and every word pub
lished can be corroborated by more than
q dozen witnesses.

Dynamite Fiends at Work.

An unsuccessful attempt was made
early Thursday morning near Pittston
to kill Michael StravnSki and his family
dren. The would-be aSsassins used
dynamite to blow up the family's resi-
dence, and so terrible was the force Of
the explosion that scarcely vestige of
the house remains. 1t was about 3
o'clock when the dwellings for almost
mile around the wrecked house were
shaken as though by an earthquake.
The awakened residents knew not
where to run, until their attention was
attracted by the cries from the Stravin-
ski house where the cause of the com
motion was terribly in evidence.
Stravinski'S property is shattered in
side and out. The foundations were
completely wrecked, rafters, doors and
windows smashed and the dwelling
twisted throughout.
Mrs. Stravnki and her three chilIren
were sleeping in "a bed almost over the
spot where the dynamite exploded and
while every piece of furniture in the
room was reduced to kindling wood they
escaped unhurt. A sewing machine
and small bed in the room were broken
into hundred pieces.
Joseph Bukcaycz was arrested, charg-
cd with the crime. At Il hearing before
Alderman Lotus testimony was to the
effect that Stravinski some time ago
borrowed $50 from the accused Since
then the latter made up his mind to
leave the country and has been en-
deavoring to get the money, but without
success. Several witnesses testified that
they had heard Bukcavicz say upon sew
eral occasions that unless he got the
money he would fix StravinSki. The
prisoner was committed for further
hearing.
