CRANK A MURDERER.
Man Shot Down In Diningroom by An
thony OIeson-a Total Stranger.

PITTSBURG, Oct. 11.-Hugh Ham
ilton, a prominent poultry raiser of
Greensboro, Greene county, Pa, was
perhaps fatally shot yesterday in a
crowded diningroom on Smithfield
street by Anthony Oleson, a weli-ed-
ucated young Swede, who had never
seen Hamilton before.
Oleson was taken to the central sta
ton, only after the greatest trouble,
by a squad of policemen. An infuriat-
ed crowd of spectators gathered after
the shooting and would have lyncned
him had it not been for the over
whelming number of police.
y When searched a number of anar-
chistic papers and a photograph of
Eugene Debs were found on his per-
son. He also had $92 in cash in two
pocketbooks and a ticket for Wash
ington. To the police he admitted that
he was en- route to the capital for the
purpose of seeing the president, but
he would not say why he wanted to
see him.
Mystery Around Shooting.
The greatest mystery surrounds the
shooting. Mr.. Hamilton had shipped
large order of poultry from Green's
boro by water several days ago and
came here to receive it. He entered
the Hotel Wilson on Smitnfield street,
and sat down at one of the tables. AL
most at the same time Oleson entered
and took the opposite seat at the same
table. Without a word Oleson drew a
revolver from his pocket and fired at
Hamilton. The latter, although hit,
rushed to the street with Oleson in
pursuit. Hamilton entered a jewelry
store next door. Oleson followed MIN.
There Oleson fired two more shots,
both of which took effect before he
could be placed under arrest.
Prisoner Denies Shooting.
In the station house Oleson refused
to say anything of himself or even to
give his name. He speaks English
brokenly and after some persuasion
said he had been in this country but a
short time. Although so many had
witnessed the shooting Oleson denied
all knowledge of it. He admitted that
ne had never seen Hamilton before
and did not know him.
The police believe that Oleson is a
most dangerous criminal, and he is
being carefully watched. So far as is
known he has no friends in this city.
Several letters from Youngstown, Ohio,
were found on his person and he is
believed to nave come from that city.
Hamilton declares he never saw OLE
son before and that the assault was
entirely unprovoked. He can assign
no motive whatever for the attack.
Hamilton has wife and nine children
in Greensboro. They have been sum-
moned here.

NEW TROLLEY LINE
FOR THE

Rumors are plentiful about the pro-
posed trolley road from Trenton to
Point z easant and the shore. AL
ready the road has been built from
Point Pleasant to Lakewood, through
Ocean county, and surveyors have
been at work this week laying out the
road on through VanHiseville, 0ss-
vile, Imlaystown, Allentown, Yard
vile and into Trenton.
But that which has croatfd the most
excitement and comment is the de-
claration by those Wrought to know
that the road is being built for loco
motives and steam traffic instead of
trolley service Z The roadbed is being
made sixty feet wide instead of thirty F;
the rails used are not the ordinary
trolley rail; and the bridges are be
ing built much stronger than a troll
ley road would warrant. There are
also rumors ithat the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has charge Of
operations, bit this cannot be veri-
fed.
