Port Reading Crime Adds AnOth-
er to Listin MiddIesex County
Total Now Is Five.
DIED In A HOSPITAL,
Blow Was Struck on the Docks
and No One Can Be Found
Who Saw II.
THE MAN WAS RUNNING AWAY.
Hungarian Was Found Who Saw
Fellow Escape But Did Not
Then Know of the Crime.

No clue has been found that will
lead to the arrest of the perpetrator
of the fifth murder in Middlesex
county this year. AS told in the
NEWS yesterday, Carmine Grasio, an
Italian, was struck on the head with
a heavy instrument in the hands of a
fellow workman on the Port Reading
coal docks yesterday and had his
skull fractured and his neck disjoint-
ed.
He did not die instantly, as was re-
ported from Port Reading yesterday,
but passed away without regaining
consciousness at the Alexian
Brothers hospital at Elizabeth,
where he was taken.
He died at 5 O'Clock this morning
The authorities in all surrounding
cities and towns have been notified
and a sharn lookout is being kept.
but no one answering the description
published yesterday, has been seen.
1t is thought he may have boarded a
coal train some distance out the
track and escaped into PENNSYLVANIA.
The crime, Is almost on par with
the Others in this county. No one
saw the blow struck, as far as can be
Learned; but a Hungarian saw am ltal-
ian running from where the body
was found later. 1t is thought the
s,,rderer had some sgrudge against
MS Victim and was watching his
chance to deal him deadly blow.

fast by huge rock. Each time the
firemen pulled on the tackle the man

to desist.
Early in the morning Fisher asked
for cup of coffee and a roast beef

There is more Catarrh in this section. of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was SUD- posed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro- nounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful. It acts direct ly on the blood and mucous sur faces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circu- lars and testimonials.
