Gaetano Bresci, the Italian anar-
chist who assassinated King Hum
bert of Italy the GOTH of last July
and was sentenced to life imprison-
ment and solitary confinement in
the dungeons of Santo Stefano, an

A dispatch from Parkersburg to
the Wheeling Register says that
Antonio Fruguamgato, an Italian,
81 years age, was brought here yes
terday, all shot full of holes for
treatment at a hospital. One eye
was shot out, an ear was full OF
lead and his face was like a pepper
box. As he spoke no English, little
could be learned about the cause
of his condition, but an Interpreter
made out that he had been in a
free for-all fight between a gang OF
Italians and one of Americans in a
coal mine at Tunnelton. So far as
could be ascertained from the It
allan, no one else was seriously hurt
in the melee.

Philadelphia the past week, has had

only question of a short time until
the creed will be revised.

drew up a special petition to the
Court protesting in strong terms
against any liquor license being
granted, and in addition to this, a
long petition was sent in by the
citizens protesting against saloon
license being granted. and all this
ratified the Court so that they did
not even grant drug store license for
Newburg. There were but five
members Of the Court present. and
the vote stood two to three against
