course wOrshipers from afar, when
there has not been a cupful Of water
to perform as much as the meanest OF

such visitor was an American. He
had seen Niagara again and again. He
read Southey ON the wonders Of LO-

reached Keswick and long walked and
boiled over rocks and powders. He
could not find the falls. He rested and

Il was late when he reached home
The same ghostiy voice greeted him
and dashed his pleasure. He moodily
smoked his pipe until late. and the un.
usual allowance Of tobacco wrought
further havoc upon his tired nerves.
The natural result was a dream in
which he wildly saw Aida swathed in
bandages, alternately calling to him

him know her peril lest II interfere

him her spirit projected itself through
space and that same self dental which
had led her to keep back the news Of
her danger led her to give the old
familiar greeting and farewell. Her
spirit must be In the room.
On the way to the Office he tele-
graphed her that he knew something

ceived definite information at once he
would leave on the next train.

DEATH TO BLACK HAND.
Shoemaker Shoots Ono Of Three Mon
Who Demand Money.

Blalrsville, Sept. 3.-The first known
effort of the Black Hand to carry on
Its nefarious practices in Blsirsville
resulted in the death Of one man, the
serious wounding Of another and the
arrest OF third
The victims are: Giuseppe Guissifo,
dead; Frank Ciepinno, stabbed in the
back and breast; unknown Italian, In
Jail at Indiana.
Cieplnno is wellknown shoemak-
or, who has been a resident of Blairs-
vile for many years. The dead man
and the prisoner had been employed
by local agent for brewery, and lit
tie Is known of their antecedents.
Late Saturday night as Ciepinno
was about to close his shop three men
entered and demanded a sum of mon
ey the same amount which has been
demanded, 1t is said, in letters signed
with the conventional Black Hand
marks.
Ciepinno refused to comply with the
demands of the intruders, at the same
time seizing a revolver from under his
counter and opening fire.
AS he pulled the trigger his assail-
ants closed with him. one of them
sticking a knife into his breast.
The shoemaker saw one OF his
would-be slayers fall then he started
for the yard in the rear of his shop
and tried to scale fence. AS he did
so one of the pursuing Italians stabbed
him again. Then they fled.
A crowd was attracted by the shoot
ing, and after hearing Ciepinno's story
started out in chase of the Black Hand
men. One of the two escaped, but the
other was arrested and hustled to In
diana on a freight train. The man at
liberty was recognized as an employe
of the beer agent and efforts are now
making for his capture.
The crowd was ugly after the cap
ture of the unknown and for a time 1t
looked MS though efforts would be
made to mete out summary punish
ment, However, the sight of the Off
GERS revolvers had quieting effect,
and without mishap the prisoner was
escorted to the railroad and hustled
way.
Ciepinno is in a serious condition,
but will probably recover. He was not
totally unprepared for the attack, as
he had received several Black Hand
letters, all demanding money, and all
OF which he had ignored.
