Another Deliberate Murder at Ir-
win, Pa, Yesterday.
IRWIN Pa, April 22.-"Hemlock
Row" was the scene Of another muir
der to-day. The Russian miners were
celebrating their Easter Sunday, hav-
ing started in last evening. 1t was
the same old story of unlimited beer,
ending up in a drunken orgie and a
free-for-all fight. In the crowd of men
and women were Sam Vitoroski and
Mike Wftzoski. The men fought like
tigers, and finally Witzoski cried
enough" and withdrew from the scene
of the fight. He soon appeared again
carrying an axe. with the blade of
which he dealt vitoroski a blow on the
forehead, the sharp edge penetrating
the skull. The murderer dropped the
axe and started for the hills with most
of the witnesses in hot pursuit. He
got away, however, and the officers
are now on the mans tracks. The trag-
edy was witnessed by the murdered
mans wife and five children, the for
mel being covered with blood from
the husbands wound at the time the
blow was struck.

GHoSTLY MUSIC.
New Instrument That Plays as With
Invisible Hands.

The F. w. Banner Company yester-
day received q Peerless Piano Player,
a new electric device which is of ines
Unable value as a source OF amusement
to musical people. This instrument is
on exhibition at their store rooms at
1910 Market street, being attached to a
Kohler Piano, and last night it at
tracted considerable attention. This
hew device is operated by electricity
and is attached directly to the piano,
and by means of compressed air the
Keys and pedals are depressed as by in
visible hands, and any piece of music,
no matter how difficult, is produced
with all the correctness of time and
harmony that characterizes the playing
of the great musicians.
The Peerless Piano Player is operated
by rolls of perforated paper similar to
those used in the Pianola, and any
piece of music can be obtained. This
attachment can be made to any piano
and can be used to amuse a family
without n knowledge of music what
ever, and the piano can be played when
it is not in use the same as any other
instrument.
The Banner Company have the
Pianola, the Aeolian and Peerless, three
automatic playing instruments that
should satisfy the choice of any one
who desires the best music but who
cannot play themselves. This new in
strument is but another evidence of
the hustling business ability of the
Banner Company, who are always
leaders in their business.

Most of the Churches of the Me-
trOpolis-How Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
kinley Passed the Day.

NEW YORK, April 22-Although no ses-
sion of the Ecumenical Conference was
held to-day, most of the members of the
conference found it a very busy day. With
few exceptions they accepted invitations
to speak at one of the services held In
the several hundred churches Of the five
city boroughs, and even in the neighbour
ing cities and towns. President Mckinley
attended the IL o'clock service at the
brick Presbyterian church on Fifth ave-
nue.. With him were his brother. Abner
Mckinley, Secretary Cortelyou and Mr..
and Mrs. NORRIS X. Jessup.
The President breakfasted with Mrs. Nc
Kinley in their apartments at the Man
haitian hotel. Mrs. Mckinley was much
rested after her trip to this city, but did
not feel well enough to attend services.
AT the church Rev. j. H Mclaughlin,
missionary from the province of Shan
Tung, China, delivered an address on the
progress Of Christianity in that country.
Although the province is the storm center
of the Chinese nation, owing TO the res
idence there of large numbers Of the men,
bers Of the boxers" he said that the
missionaries were doing good service and
that the growth of Christianity had been
great.
But going to and coming from the church
the President was recognized by many
people on Fifth avenue. A small crowd
gathered around the hotel, to whom he
bowed in an amiable manner. In the after
noon the President and Mrs. Mckinley
drove in the park.
The services in other prominent churches
In this city were conducted by the most
prominent of the missionaries now attend
ing the Ecumenical conference.

ALARM IN CANADA
Owe What is Relieved to be a
scheme to Destroy n Canal.

~ a
BUFFALO, N. Y, April 22-A Niagara
Falls special to the Express says:
Chief Youngs, OF the Dominion police.
his force of half a dozen regular police
men and two hundred armed deputies are
guarding the Jail at Clifton, Ont. where
are confined the three men charged with
blowing up Lock No. "a. at Thorold, Ont,
last evening.
The extraordinary precautions taken for
the guarding OF the men is the result OF
a rumor that reached Chief Youngs this
afternoon to the effect that four hundred
Buffalo grain shovelers were on their way
here to liberate the prisoners. The militia
Of the district. the Forty-fourth battal-
ion, has been warned for service and can
be mobilized at Clifton at short notice.
Last night 1t was thought the men who
blew up the lock were Boer sympathlzers.
To-day the opinion has changed. II IS
now the belief Of many persons in Clifton
and nearby Canadian villages that the
dynamiters were agents for Buffalo grain
shovelers and sought TO blow up the lock
for the purpose of disabling the Welland
canal, thereby preventing the passage of
grain through the canal from Port Col
borne to Montreal. With the canal closed
1t is argued the scoopers of Buffalo might
have got more work than they would IL
the canal was open. THIS line OF reason
ing, aided by rumors Of an impending In.
vasion of scodpers from Buffalo. resulted
IN the heroic measures taken by Chief
Youngs.

portant business.
Mrs. Sarah Miller, nee Phillips,
died last evening at the North Wheel
ing Hospital. The funeral arrange
ments will be announced hereafter.
Last nights thunder storm did not
result in much rain in the city, but
indicated a heavy downpour up about
Wellsburg and West Liberty, if one
may judge by the lightning.
About twenty emigrants arrived in
the city yesterday afternoon on the
B. & o. accommodation from the east.
The party left Hter for Mingo juno

-Giesey & Faris are preparing plans
for a Presbyterian church, to be erected
on the site of the present Eighteenth

erected at the expense Of Mr.. George
Laughlin.
"A fine, large-sized wire rack has
been placed in the office of the Chief
of Police. 1t was made by a bum in
the w0rkhouse, and is a very creditable
piece Of work. Chief Clemens donated
the wire for the affair.
Thomas Bone, a former B. & 0.
conductor, has leased the Grafton B. &
0. Hotel and is now open to the pub
lie. This hotel is now being entirely
renovated by the B. & o. company, and
many very extensive improvements
will be made.
"A horse hitched to a buggy left
standing neal the city building ran
off last night. 1t was the property OF
a Bellaire livery stable, and Chief

cess.
1t is expected that work on the
new wash house for the Schmulbach
brewery will be completed in a few
weeks. The new building. which is
of brick and two stories high, will be
a decided Improvement to the manu-
factory.
Series four of the anti-ring circu-
lars is on it's way, and If all reports
be true the ring will be compelled to
seek shelter, as a cyclone is coming
their way; and the weather bureau
predicts storm and thunder-in other
words, typical anti-ring atmospheric
conditions.
The young mems meeting at the
Y. M. c. A. building yesterday after
noon was attended by many of the
members and their friends. A very
thoughtful address was given by Rev.
David w. Howard, rector of st. Mat
thew's P. E. Church, and some appro-
pirate music was rendered.
About twenty minutes past one
o'clock this morning some unknown
party pulled box No. So, calling the
department to Market and Twenty
seventh streets. However, there vas
no fire, and just what the alarmist's
motive was remains a mystery. A
heavy fine is usually imposed for such
an Offense.

Tom Munsey, who is to meet "Yank'
Kenney in the arena of the Metropoli-
tan Club tonight, is expected to ar
rive from Marietta this morning. He
will come up with a big crowd of
sports from that city, who have char
tered a boat for the trip. 1t is under
stood that at least a hundred Mari
ettians will witness the contest. and
Joe Bruner, who is to meet Buzz
Auber in the preliminary, will accom-
pany the crowd. This, by the way,
will be one of the fastest preliminaries
ever arranged by the club. and should
alone prove a big drawing card. Mum
sey is a big fellow who is said to pos
sess more strength than science, but
the Marietta contingent alleges that he
will surprise the spectators in his
knowledge of the game. They think
he will win.
"Yank" Kenney has been here since
Friday, and he has so many friends in
Wheeling that he has been kept busy
shaking hands. "Yank's" resemblance
to Jim Corbett in appearance is so
striking that he has frequently been
mistaken for the ex-champion. His
vng cares is fam.lier to his friends
here. He was last seeen in Wheeling
as the sparring partner Of Bob Fitz-
simmons. Recently he has been train
ing kid" Mccoy.
Kenney thinks very we'll of kid"
Mccoy, but is of the opinion that he
should not 90 out of his class, for the
present at least. Mccoy is one of the
most scientific men at his weight that
ever entered the ring" he said, "and
there is a great deal of execution in
his punches. l think, however, that
he has no business in the ring with
Jim Jeffries. Jeffries is bigger and
stronger, and is also a remarkably
quick and active man. If the time
comes when the men can get together
at virtually the same weight Mccoy
will have at least an equal chance for
the championship"
kenney and Munsey will enter the
ring Weighing in the neighborhood of
200 pounds. They will be the heaviest
pair that ever boxed under the auspices
of the Metropolitan Club. The big fell
lows always make it interesting, and
this fact alone will draw a large num-
Der to the club house tonight.

Bellaire Catholics yesterday enjoyed
the pleasure and honor of having in
their presence the highest dignitary Of
the Roman Catholic Church in Amer
lea, the direct representative of the
Pope. Monsignor Martinelli is a native
Italian and only speaks English fair
ly we'll. He is a man of striking APP
pearance, and would attract almost
any persons attention. A Register re-
porter met him and he stated that he
had been in the United States for four
years and was much pleased, not only
with the people, but with the country.
He also stated that the church in Bel
laire was worthy of mention on ac-
count of what has recently been
achieved. He said that his Church was
receiving a large number of converts,
and, smiling, added: I'VE have no
trouble in our Church with our creed"

This service was very impressive,
and the sermon delivered by Rev. DR..
Rocker, secretary to the apostolic del
egate, to those who were to be con-
firmed was a very eloquent discourse
and was listened to attentively by all
those present. His advice to the class,
who numbered almost 500, was very
earnest and eloquent and made a deep
impression upon all. He is an excel
lent speaker. The class was the larg-
est to receive confirmation at a single
time at any place in the Ohio valley.
In the evening there was a public
reception in honor of Monsignor Mar
