Missing t,l since Found.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1.-The thirty.
five hundred dollar diamond neck.
lace which was supposed to have
been shipped by Messrs. Shaw & Berry
of this city to Joseph Frankels g. Sons
of New York and which was thought
to have been stolen has been found. A
long distance telephone message from
n lady in Pit,sburg to the jowplry firm
here conveyed the information that the
necklace had reached her among other
Christmas packages from Washington,
but as II bore no card of the sender she
made inquiry of the local firm as to
who had sent 1t. In this way the neck
lace was located. An error of a trusted
shipping clerk gave rise to the conclu-
sion at once that the package contain
ing the diamonds had been tampered
with and its contents removed. The
firm desires clearly to absolye the Ad.
ans Express company from any con-
nectiOn. immediate or remote. with the
temporary disappearance Of the jewels,
which was due wholly to the incorrect
address placed upon the package.

SCHOOL BOARDS
MUST OBEY LAW;

Dover, DEL, Dec. 81, The State
Board of Education met here to-day,
with full attendance, and took ac-
tion against the employ ment Of pub
lie school teachers 10 this state, who
have not a teachers certificate duly
signed by the proper authorities.
The board passed a resolution
Withholding from the Board OF Ed
ucation of Milford and Harrington,
the appropriations due the public
schools Of those towns from the state
school fund Of 100000. because of
the employment by them Of teachers
without the proper certificates.
AS the holding up Of this appropri-
ations of school dividend, hits direct
ly at the salaries of the teachers, it
will doubtless have the effect Of caus-
ing a shake-np in the schools at this
the beginning Of new year.
The constitution provides, in call
Ing for the Legislature to enact a
school law, that in such appoint.
ment the money shall be used exclu-
sively for the payment Of teachers
salaries and the furnishing Of free

IN BILLIARDS. GRASP.
Northern New York Tswn Shoyn of
Power and Light.

OGDENSBURG, N. Y, Jan. log
densburg was caught In the grasp OF
a snow blizzard from the northwest
yesterday afternoon. The gale snapped
off the monster pole at the entrance
to the Ford Street bridge, and in fall.
Ing the telephone. telegraph, electric
light, fire alarm and trolley wires We're
torn loose and carried to the ground
In a tangled mass.
Never was such brilliant electric
display as followed witnessed here be-
fore. Sheets of flame shot to II great
height. and there was continuous
blazing Of the swaying wires. Many
persons going to work were crossing
the bridge on the girders. on which
many live wires We're lying, but no
one was injured. This was probably
due to the fact that the bridge was
covered with snow and ice. and the
current was shut Off at the street car
power house and the tangled wires
cut on each side of the bridge, pre-
venting danger to pedestrians.
Two hundred telephone wires were
useless and all communication from
outside the city shut off. The electric
light and fire alarm systems were use
less. Linemen are busy repairing the
damage.

TURNER'S FALLS SCENE OF TRAGEDY
Friends Claim the Author of the
Terrible Deed Was Insane.

TURNER'S FALLS, Mass. Jan. L.
Louis Bitzer, who shot and killed his
clerk, Miss Ida Columbe, and his five.
year-old son and attempted to take the
lives OF his wife and two other chill.
dren yesterday, was taken to the
Franklin county Jail in Greenfield and
will be given a hearing In the district
court today. He will be charged with
murder, and it is likely that he will
be held for the grand Jury. which will
convene In March. Friends of Bitter
claim that he was insane when he
committed the murders, but the Off.
GERS, after a careful investigation, say
that they have secured no evidence
to bear out that claim.
There have been few DEVELOPMENTS,
and the tragedy has created great
sensation. The nutopsies In the a after-
noon by Medical Examiner Twitchell
or Greenfield. assisted by Drs. Stet-
son and Leary, showed that Miss Ida
Colnmbe and the boy, Louis Bitter,
died instantly. In both cases the bull
let's penetrated their brains The au
topsy put at rest all the disagreeable
rumors regarding Miss Colunlbe, as it
showed that she was pure girl. The
two bodies have been turned over to
the mother of Mr.. Bitter, hut no ar
Engagements for the funerals have been
made.
Mrs. Christina Bitter, wife of the
murderer, and Carrie Bitter, the
twelve-year-old daughter are both rest
ing comfortably at the Farren hospital
IN Greenfield. Their wounds are not
dangerous. The condition Of Annie, the
slxteen-year-old daughter, is more crit
ical. but attending physicians are hope
ful for her recovery. The bullet is bur
led i'll her'skull, and no attempt has as
yet been made to extract it. Her tenn
pcrature is 100 and pulse lG.
Bitter is said to be financially embar-
rassed in the jewelry business he has
carried on here. He failed in lSSSMnd
was discharged by the court two years
later. Since that time he has carried
on the business under the name of NJ.
NJ. Bitter.
Minor matters are cited by the towns
people to show that BtZer had acted
strangely for several months.
