STOUT HANGED.
Pays the Penalty of Committing
Murder in Cold Blood.

III NOlu plOOAls
l2aston. Pa. August 22.--Llewellyn
Stout. who killed Harvey II. Wurster.
telegraph operator and station agent
at Bingen on the Philadelphia and
Reading railway, was hanged today.
The drop fell at 1904 and Stout was
pronounced dead at 1924. His neck
was not broken. Van Hise, of Newark.
the professional hangman, pulled the
string that sent young Stout into eter-
nifty. Stout maintained his nerve to
the last He walked to the galiows with
his spiritual adviser the Rev. Paul
Klingler, of christ Lutheran church.
He did not utter a word on his way
to death aud while the moose was be-
ing adjusted he took one look at the
slim audience.
Last night Stout confessed TO a news
paper reporter that he had killed Wurs-
ter while the unsuspecting operator
was asleep. Since the murder Stout
has steadfastly declared he had a fight
with Wurster and that II was during
the scunle that he struck the fatal
blow. Stout's stepfather witnessed the
execution. Stout was 81 years OF age.
The crime for which Stout was hang
ed was committed on the night of Jan.
uary G. last. With a freight car coup
ling pin he battered out the brains of
Harvey IL, Wurster, night operator
and station agent at Bngen on the
Philadelphia and Reading railway,
while the latter was sitting in a chair.
Stout then rifed the money drawer
and got about $l5 for his trouble. The
crime was discovered by a freight
brakeman several hours aftcrward. De-
tectives traced footprints in the snow
TO Stout's home, a short distance
away. He was put under arrest and
afterward confessed having committed
the dead.

CARBONDALE.
SCARCITY OF LABOR.

Not in years has there been such a
scarcity of unskilled labor in Carbon
dale as at present. Every man willing
to WELD a pick or shovel seems to be
employed. The Independent spirit this
condition begets was demonstrated at
the Anthracite park coal storage plant
when one of the bosses said to one of
a gang working in the hot sun: Come,
push things along a little faster,
there" The fellow pulled out his watch
and said: ut is 10 o'clock; give me
my time" What for?" inquired the
boss. well, I'm doing the best 1 can
and don't propose to be dogged a day
like this; l can get plenty of work" "
Twenty-nine others were of the same
opinion and left with him.

Gems Lost at the SeuShOre,

More than $2,0OO,OOO worth of jewels
arc lost every season at American SUM-
NOR resorts. The greater part Of these
disappear at the seaside, and it is be-
licvcd that Il comparatively small part
are actually stolen. At the various sum
Mer hotels at this time every bulletin
board will be profuscly placardcd with
notices offering all sorts of rewards for
the finding or return of missing jewelry.
Last year the loss Of jewels frequently
amounted to $4,000 in Il single instance.
At some of the most fashionable re-
sorts the owners Of very costly jewels
frequently take the precaution of leaving
the gems in some safe deposit vault in
the city and sending all the way to town
for them every time they are needed. That
so much more jewelry is lost proper
ticnately, in the summer than during the
winter is due to the rather foolish dis
play which is made of such valuablps
on hotel piazzas, the sands and even in
the. ocean itself. The bathers at the
fashionable resorts sometimes indulge in
the caprice of appearing in the water
wearing several thousand dollars worth
of diamonds. The chances of losing
these trinketS while exercising or lying
about on the beach are, of course, very
great. The loss of jewelry in this way
is constantly causing much unjust sus-
