WILLIE SKIPPED.
How he Made Home Run With p. & R. Guns
in His Clothes.

Willie Setley, who is known from
the wild fastness of the Maine forests
to the Gulf of Mexico. and from
Coney Island to the Golden Gate as
the slickest ball tosser that ever
twirled or felded the horsehide sphere
made quite hit in his greatest Of all
specialties - larceny at Mahanoy
City the other day.
Setley had been in the coal region
for the past several weeks and one
day recently boarded a freight train
for Mahanoy City. There he went
TO one of the collisries and enlisted as
deputy. He was given two revolvers
estimated to be worth $2a each.
These he stuck in the hip pockets OF
his trousers and started IN on patrol
duty.
He soon tired of the work and
when an opportunity presented itself
Willie slid out of sight. He made, in
base ball vernacular, "home run.
The base ball expert never stopped
until he had disposed OF the weapons,
and with the money thus secured,
skipped away for pastures new. The
P. & R. police are looking for him.

Died with Curses on Linz.

GREENVILLE, Miss, July o.
With curses on his lips, with eyes
bloodshot and with the expressed wish
that the people of Greenville perish
in the fires Of hell Ashley Cooke died
here yesterday. With him, but silent
ly, Tom Lauderdale also met his end.
Both were convicted of the murder Of
Engineer G. M. Wray and were hanged
from the same gallows, and the swing
of a double trap sent both men to their
doom. Cooke died boasting that he
would be in hell in few minutes
and damning everything and every
body. He said that those who had
planned his murder would meet their
end and that $11, 900 had been deposit
ed in bank, $1,000 of which would be
paid for the death of each of the eleven
men who prosecuted him. The execu-
tion was witnessed by 5000 people.

almost daily occurrence for a week
or more past. The most severe,
however, was that of Friday after
noon, during the progress of which
r. Kernson's dwelling house at
Catawissa was struck. The fiery
bolt descended upon the house near
the chimney, tearing large hole
in the roof. The accompanying
loud report struck. terror to the
hearts ofthe members of the family,
while the neighbors were greatly
alarmed. The Telephone Exchange
at that town was also disabled by
the storm, and bolt struck tele-
phone pole outside the shoe factory,
the light of which was of such
brilliancy that the employees
thought the building was OH fire,
and were hurriedly taking their de-
parture.

Church Dedication.

The repairs to the A. M. E..
church are about completed, and
the church will be dedicated on
Sunday, August 3rd, when there
will be meetings at ten in the morn
ing and three in the afternoon. A
number of preachers from out of
town will be present. A general
invitation to the public is extended.
Most of the work has been done
by the pastor, Rev. 7. J. West,
and as the congregation is small
they need help. The church has
been kept up by few, and it has
been seldom that help has been
asked. Now that they have made
necessary repairs they need money,
and are deserving of any assistance
that the liberal cstizens of the COM
munity may tender them. Help
them along.

A HUNDRED MISSING.
Death List of the EIbe Steamship d
Disaster Growing.

HAMBURG, July 23.-The steamship
Primus of Hamburg which, with 1856
passengers on board, was cut In two
and sunk by the tug Hansa of the
Hamburg-American line on the river
Elbe between Blankenese and Men
stedten, has been partially raised and
brought nearer shore. The total num-
Der of missing is now placed at 104.
SiXty-one bodies have been recovered.
Inquiry into the circumstances of the
disaster shows that there is q great
lack of life saving appliances on the
Elbe excursion steamers. The Primus
is known to have had on board only
six life belts and a single boat. The
steamer Zelphin which came up later
with 400 passengers, also had only one
boat, capable of carrying seven per-
sons.

Everybody is wondering whether
the fight between Jeffries and Fitz-
simmons is to be for blood or
whether it is to be money making
scheme. Jeffries is not a favorite
by any means. His miserable ex-
hibitious in the past have discredit-
ed pugilism in several states and it
appears to be the wish of the ma
jority of the sporting fraternity
that the general indignation may
result in sending him back to the
congenial climate Of California
where he should never have left.
He is boiler maker by trade and
he should return to his trade as a
boiler cannot strike back. He may
be able to knock out such third
raters as Sharkey and Armstrong,
but for fighters OF the true cham
pionship class he is only a chop
ping block. The affair takes place
tomorrow night and if it's on the
square, Fitz will win.
