Murderer Goes Mad,

While alone in his cell in the Sunbury
prison Monday night VIM. Whitaker,
held for the murder of his wife, was
seized with a sudden mania and in his
raving smashed his chair, table and
washstand, and all the other breakable
articles in the room. When Warden
Mcdonnell opened the cell on Tuesday
morning the floor was strewn with de-
bris, and Whitaker was lying on his
iron bed, the only thing he did not
break, in a state of utter exhaustion.
The cause Of this strange outbreak no
one seems able to fathom. The jail
officials and county authorities are
skeptical and think the murderer is
shamming insanity to escape the death
penalty. On tine other hand Whitaker
has been examined by alienists and
they are not at all sure that he Is in
his right mind.
Lying bound within the four stone
walls Of his narrow cell through the
long nights, haunted by the spectre of
his dying wife lying On the floor of
her mothers home with blood pouring
from long cash in her throat, his
fears have overthrown his reason.
Tortured by dread of the gallows,
which daily seems nearer, and which
he feels utterly unable to escape, the
wretched man lives in abject terror,
his strength gone, and his iron nerve
broken.

CROP OUTLOOK

A large grain dealer, speaking of
present rumors of damage to the wheat
crop does not regard the matter as a
calamity. He makes the point that
there still remain of the old crop some
thing like $50, 600, 900 bushels, and
adds: Suppose you lose 75. 900, 900 or
100, 900, 600 bushels of the coming crop
that the damage we are talking
about will shorten it that much. The
result would be an advance of probab-
ly ten cents on the eating price of the
$50, 600, 600 bushels yet to be brought
forward, and also on the new produc-
tion. That would be pretty good
thing all around Wheat would cease
to overwhelm the railroads or to lie
on the ground and rot, as it has been
doing FOR want of adequate storage
facilities and cars to move it cut of
the country where it was grown.
Wheat is not the ranking crop. A loss
in wheat could be made up in corn
and cotton. In the southwest, where
the wheat is destroyed, farmers can
SOW the ground in cotton or corn.
Such falling off in the production of
wheat this year as l am looking for,
while it might affect the stock market
semtimentally for a little while would
in the end prove profitable to the
farmers, the railroads and the coun-

BLACK HAND ACTS
ON PUBLIC STREET

Nicholas Gedro, an Italian, was shot,
probably fatally, at Marion Heights,
near Shamokin, Friday evening by
Andrew Yunada. The assassin is at
large. The crime looks more like the
work of the Black Hand than any re-
cent crime in the region
On North street, Marion Heights,
under the glare of an electric light, at
an hour when many residents of the
place were still awake, Yunada walk
ed up to his victim and whipping out
revolver, fired. After empUying the
weapon and shots from a second
weapon into the prostrate man, then
fed. He has not yet been located 1t
is supposed that he either went to
ShamOkin or Mt. Carmel and was
there gotten out of the way by the
agents of the Black Hand, posted to be
on the lookout for him, and aided in
his escape. Gedro's body had nine
bullet holes in it. He is still living
at the Ashland hospital and has bare
chance of recovery. The assassin is
described as being five feet seven
inches in height and slim. He was
smooth shaven and has long nose.
1t will be remembered that Gedro is
the man who, about three months ago,
spent some time in the Northumber-
land county Jail at his own request,
alleging that he lived in mortal terror
of meeting death by the Black Hand
agents. At that time startling dis
closures were made including the state
ment that the Black Hand was
thoroughly organized in Northumber-
land county with headquarters at Sha-
mokin. About two years ago he was
stabbed but after long illness recov-
cred.
Gedro himself is bad man. He has
figured in numerous law suits and is
regarded with suspicion by Marion
Heights residents. This feeling was
shown by the difficulty in getting any
one to go with him to the hospital
No one liked him we'll enough to take
the journey but finally countryman
consented to go with the wounded
man.

Should Amend This Law.

That the primary election law now
governing party primaries in this State
ought to be amended is shown by num-
erous Inconsistencies and puzzling pro-
positions. For instance, the primaries
must be held on the first Saturday in
June which this year is June 1. The
county commissioners must canvass
the returns on the following Wednes.
day, which is June 5. The State con-
ventions must be held within one
week of the primaries Chairman And
rews has called the Republican State
convention for Thursday, June 6, the
day after the commissioners meet to
canvass the vote. The question is /;
Can the delegates get their certific
ates in time to attend the convention?
An amendment lengthening the time
between the primaries and the assem-
bling of the convention would mend
matters without doing any harm.

music on Mill street yesterday. The

they have only recently returned from

and the blue birds to the sunny south,
where they mingle their tuneful lays

The Chiefs "Thrilling Chase

The capture of Charles Sutton, who
escaped from the Montour county Jail,
by Chief of Police Mincemoyer and
Sheriff D. @. Williams, last Sunday.
has been going the rounds Of the State
newspapers. Each time it bobs up in
some new paper, fresh thrills are ad-
ded to it.
The facts of the case as set forth in
the Morning News of last Monday
morning were sufficiently thrilling,
but the "story" was evidently not
sensational enough for the other edi-
tors of the State.
Here is Ole of the forms in which
the story appeared in the Scranton
Republican on Tuesday:
Special to the Republican.
WILKES Pa, April 30.
One of the most sensational captures
of an escaped Jail breaker ever affect
ed occurred early this morning along
the d. L. a. w. railroad near Milton,
When ODlcL Oh fOllC6 MlUC6mOy6T, Ol
Danville, leaning far out of speed
ing locomotive, seized Charles Sutton
by the collar and swung him on board,
a prisoner.
Sutton broke out of the Montour
county Jail several hours before and
tried to escape along the railroad.
Sheriff Williams and Chief Mince
moyer got a locomotive crew together
and started in pursuit. While run
ming about twenty miles an hour they
suddenly espied in the glare of the
headlight, Sutton leaning back against
a box car OH the adjoining track to
let the locomotive pass.
He was unsuspicious of such speedy
pursuit and did not realize it until
Mincemoyer strong arm shot out and
seized him, and he was hauled aboard
the locomotive which did not stop un-
til after the capture was effected.

AGITATING
BETTER SERVICE

A number of our citizens think
there should be better train service
between Danville and the cities of
Philadelphia and New York, as well
as an improvement in the service be-
tween this city and Williamsport.
They are talking up the matter and
will probably a little later join a
similar agitation, started in neighbor-
ing towns. which should result in
bringing about improved service.
One of the favors asked of the P. &
r. railway is that the accommodation
north which leaves Danville at 2 :53 a.
m. be run through directly to Will
Transport, instead Of stopping at West
Milton as at present, an arrangement
which necessitates wait of about an
hour at the latter place. A petition
to the above effect will be presented
to the P. & r. railway company at an
early date.
The same company in all probability
will be asked, if feasible, to run the
annex" now in use at Milton, over
to Danville at night, connecting with
the late train from Philadelphia. Such
schedule would give people living in
Danville an opportunity to transact
business in the metropolis, going and
returning the same day.
There are number of business men
n favor of starting an agitation in
Danville similar to what is on foot in
Bloomsbury and Berwick, with a view
to securing an early morning train Oh
the D. L. & W. railroad, which would
make it practicable to go to New York
and back in the same day. Such 9
train is on the schedule at present, but
it comes no further west than Ply
The Berwick and Bloomsbury peo-
pie are working very hard to get the
train to come as far down as the lat
ter place. Should this be accomplish
ed Blooms burg people could leave fol
New York about 6 a. m. and reach
home between 10 and / p. m the same
day.
Our neighbors up the river have
strong hopes of securing the train, but
why it should stop at Bloomsbury
seems enigmatical. DanviIle or even
Northumberland should be the term
linus and evidently would be, if the
people of those towns showed the pro-
per interest in the matter and put
forth strong effort to obtain it.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inf1amed condition of the mucous in
ing of the Eustachlan Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the infamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out of ten are caused by CataIrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.

Peter Zeliff is dead at Sunbury at

ago when the graveyard insurance"
craze was at it's height. he was fav-
orite subject. At that time insurance
policies were taken out by all whom
the speculative craze touched, and their
numbers were many, on any one whom
they thought moribund. Zeliff at that
time was a thin-faced, consumptive
looking man, but was really in sound
health.
He used to play cough for all that
it was worth and people thought he
was next door to the grave. He was
paid sum for the privilege of allow
ing the spectators to insure his life
and he reaped rich harvest in this
field 1t is said that he made as much
as So, 600 when the craze was at its
height and that at one time he was
insured for upwards of 800. 900.

! this name being given to him years

man, who when told of the manner of
the boys life, said: "Well, if you
must be a tramp, be an A. No.
tramp" and so under this name he
has gone ever since.
1t is scarcely probable that any other
tramp of his character and experience
is in existence today. He has been on
4 the road ever since he was IL years of
age. He is now 30 years of age and
during the twenty -four years he has
travelled approximately $50, 900. miles,
90, 900 miles of this being on water.
| He has visited almost every country
on the globe and every hamlet in the
! United States and Canada. In all his
travels he has expended only 81. 56 for
car fare. In 1906 he travelled 81, ,000
miles and expended 26 cents for fares
and since the 1st of January of this
year he has travelled 1900 miles,
He is most interesting conversa-
tionalist and during his travels has
educated himself to high degree so
that he can speak and write f1uently
in English. German, Spanish and
French, while on all current topics he
converses readily. He is distinctly the
opposite of the ordinary tramp, for
though he beats his way over the coun-
try so far as railroads are concerned,
he pays his own way in the matter OF
clothing and edibles, making his way
by carving potatoes, in which he pro-
duces some wonderful effects and in
numerous other ways which he has of
earning money. His clothes are the
acme of cleanliness. He appeared any
thing but tramp, attired in tailor
made suit, freshly creased trousers. a
clean white collar and we'll blackened
shoes, with pair of gold eye glasses
attached to his coat with silk, yet in a
roll nearby were his travelling suit,
consisting of blue drilling overalls and
coat, pair of leather gauntlets and
blue polka dot handkerchief for his
neck.
On his suspenders he wears a gold
medal which was given him by the
owner of the Police Gazette, together
with 81 600 in cash, for making the
quickest record in beating his way
from San Francisco to New York He
performed this feat in eleven days and
six hours.
Recently he closed contract with
large magazine by which that concern
will publish the story of his life and
if as writer he is as much of a sue
cess as he is a conversationalist his
story ought to attract wide attention.
He carries with him book, in which
are recorded his travels, newspaper
clippings, ETC., and the cards of many
of the railroad and city detectives
from the greatest railway lines and
cities of the country. He is now max
ing his way to the Jamestown eXposi-
ton, where he expects to spend some
