Ho||inger Hanged at Harrisburg for
Murder Of His Wife.
Confessed Crime and Met His Doom on
Gaiicws Without TTemoT.

Harrisburg. June 29.-Joseph Holm
ger. self-confessed murderer, was
hanged today in the Dauphin county
jail for the murder OF his wife. Holm
ger went to the gallows without fear
and died without a struggle. He was
an ignorant farmer about so years old
and was separated from his wife for
several months. Last August he visited
her at the home Of a neighbor and
tried t5 persuade her to return home.
She refused and this so angered him
that he knocked her down and then cut
her throat with pocket knife.

A Question Of Location.

There was some discussion caused Dy
the return OF a deputy sherlH on cita-
ton. as to where the village Nailey
Falls was. Instead of stating on MS re-
turn the name of the town where the
citation was served the deputy simply
said Valley Falls Judge Rogers asked
Attorney John T.. Canning who is in the
office of Comstock a. Gardner, counsei
for the town of Cumberland, IN Wnat
town Valley Falls lis. Mr.. Canning salu
II was in the town or Cumberland Az
torney Richard Martin. who Is sun at
tending the court waiting for the di-
yorce petition to the granting OF which
he objects, explained to Judge Rogers
that a part of Valley Falls was I'm the
city of Central Falls. Mr.. Martin when
he had furnished the court with TINS
Information said he had spoken simply
as friend of the court ana not pc
cause he was interested in the case.The
court thanked the attorney and the
deputy sheriff said he served the cita-
tion at the round house. Mr.. Martin
was called on by the court to say
whether this round house was In Cum
berland or Central Falls and he after
rather indefinite description decided II
was I'm Central Falls. AS a matter or
fact the round house is in Cumberland.
but the description as before stated
was Indefinite and the court directed
the deputy sheriff TO sign his return as
OF Central Falls.
Mr.. Martins case has not yet come
up. He awaits anxiously for the court
TO announce q and says that IL the case
does come up there will be an interest
ing denouement. Tomorrow is the last
day for the hearing OF uncontested pc
titions for several months and IL seems

Judge Rogers wanted more particu-

PASSAIC WILL Be VISITED ALSO,

There Is more or less talk at the
present time in relation to the filtra-
ton OF the water supply of the city.
and. as usual. there are advocates
OF both the mechanical and
natural methods, and both sides ad-
here firmly TO their convictions.
Whether anything will be done for the
present is doubtful, for il Is argued
by certain members Of the city council
that whatever plan is adopted Will cost
quite a large amount OF money. and
in the present condition of the munich
pal treasury no such expenditure could
be reasonably assumed.
At the meeting of the Common Coun-
Gil on Monday evening last, petition
signed by Fenner IA. Peckham and sew
eral others relative TO filtration and
for the preparation of plan for secur-
ing a supply OF pure water, was pres
ented and was referred TO the commit

ell at some later date.
The time for fling statements with
the board of tax assessors has expired,
and from now on the assessors will be
kept busy until about september l..
when the assessment OF property In
this city will be completed. 1t Is inn
possible until that time To learn what
the total valuation will be. and in con-
sequence the finance committee OF the
city council will have TO do some guess
work in preparing it's appointments.
The total valuation, including the prop
4 erty in the section added TO the city
last year, was SlSl. .55S, 120 The personal
property valuation was only slightly
ahead OF the preceding year. and was
below the valuation for the four years
1 previous to that time.

who have neglected TO pay the sewer

A rather singular case was that or
Mark +. Waters. who sought divorce
from his wife, Rose l.. Waters, on the
ground of desertion.. Mr.. Waters and
his witnesses were colored and very in
telligent and Straightforward. These
witnesses testified that Mrs. Waters
left her husbands home in 1891 and
they never heard the reason, though
they saw Mrs. Waters the day before.
Mrs. Waters was, according 10 the
same parties. very ladybke person
and seemed satisfied with her home and
husband. The latter was an honest
and upright man, a number OF parties
said. Mr.. Waters said he once receives

a HOLE IN THE MAIL DAG.
Damage to the Pouch for the French
Embassy.

The official mail bag from the Paris for
eign office which reached the French en-
bassy yesterday was in a damaged condi-
ton, hole being rent in one end large
enough to permit a hand and arm to be
inserted and the contents of the bag ex-
amined. Fortunately, however. an exami-
nation of the contests and a comparison
with the official list of Enclosures showed
that nothing had been removed, and the
seals on the various official communications
were unbroken, probably because AN in
spectlon indicated that no funds were in
closed.
The reports of late of the payment 10
Spain of $20,9oou00 through the medium Of
mutllatlon of the French bag. The hole
was too carefully made to be the result
or accident. A large heart-shaped Incl
sion was made in the leather and this was
torn sldewise, making an opening about SIX
inches across.
Extreme vigilance is exercised I'm passing
ms mall from foreign governments to their
representatives abroad, and IL is sacred
from any inspection by the local authori-
ues, and, as far possible from private
individuals. The British bags are carried
by a special messenger to and from New
\ ork and given in charge OF the command
er OF one of the British liners. The French
bags are carried by the French TransatIan-
TIC line. This particular bag came on the
steamer arriving the latter part of last
York post office, and thence to the Wash
1ngton post office. The Washington office
gave printed notice that the bag was IN .
damaged condition.
