italian Carries Out Threat to Kill
Successful Rival.

New York, Feb. 19.-John scitender
is dead and Rossi Morani is in a hos
pital dying as the result of an enmity
which began in Italy fifteen years ago.
At that time both men were suitors
for the hand of the same girl. Morani
married her and Scitender threatened
that he would kill him if he had to
follow him around the world to find
the opportunity. Morani came to
America with his bride and has lived
in Brooklyn ever since. The two men
met on the street in Brooklyn for the
first time since the threat was made.
Scitender drew a razor and withour o
word slashed Morani about the head
and shoulders. The men grappled
and rolled about on the sidewalk un-
til Morani was able to draw a revolt
yer, with which he shot his enemy.
Scitender died half an hour later and
Morani will not live.

Only One Miner Perishes as Result
of Cavein.

Shamckin, Pa, Feb. 19.-All but
one of the t~wenty-eight men and
boys who were entombed in the Mid
Valley colliery have been rescued.
Frank Orloskie, a miner of Mid-Val-
ley, fell down a chute after the acct
dent and was killed.
The men were entombed by a num-
Der of pillars of coal running, causing
a gargway to close in. When the
miners were imprisoned they gathered
in a long we'll ventilated gallery and
made plans as to the best means Of
digging their way through the block
ade. The men had picks and shovels
and began work without delay. The
imprisoned men heard sharp raps on
the steampipe running through the
drift and felt certain of being res
cuea. When the rescuing party pene-
trated to the entombed men it was
found that the men had dug for a
great distance through the fall Of
coal

OF WIDESPREAD EFFECT.
Threatened Strike Of Granite and
Marble Employees.

New York, Feb. 19.-Wholesale
monument dealers in this city who
have been watching the situation pre-
dict a general strike of the cutters
and allied unions against the quarry
men beginning March l, which will
extend throughout the New England
marble and granite district and affect
the trade all over the country. The
differences between the quarry own
ers and their employees, the whole
salers say, includes, in addition to a
dispute over wages. which the men
want increased, a demand for the con-
tinlation Of the Saturday half holiday
throughout the year. A general strike,
it is stated, would practically stop the
sale OF New England marble and
granite for tombslones. Middlemen
do not carry a surplus stock and the
retailer buys as he sells, while the
quarrymen at present have only a
small supply on hand. The quarries
are we'll %unionized and a strike would
be likely, it is stated, to tie up the
whole industry in the section.

NO VERDICT IN SMELL CASE
Jury Unable to Agree in Contest for
Eiu Estate.

Clinton. ILL.,, Feb. 19.-The jury in
the famous Smell will case, being un'
able to reach a verdict, was dis
charged by Judge Cochrane. Richard
Smell, the contestant, announces that
he will ask for a new trial OF the
case at the May term of court. The
last ballot stood eight for the con
testant TO four for the proponents OF
The will.
The suit to break the will of Colo
mel Thomas Smell was brought by the
aged and eccentric millionaire's son,
Richard Snelk president of the Gin
ton bank. 1t has been rife with sen
sations, chief of which were the Smell
letters, written by women and young
girls to the old man, who was willing
to pay lavishly for being loved and
for being told so in affectionately
worded epistles, in which appeals fol-
money we're mingled with expressions
of endearment.
When Colonel Smell died, in June
1907, he left an estate of $4,000 900
To his son Richard he left only an
annuity of $50 per year. To a grand
niece, Mabelle Smell Mcnamara, he
left property valued at $25,OOOfand an
annuity of $1,000 per year. The rest
of the property he left in trust, inter
est to be added each year to the prin'
cipal, until twenty years after the
death Of his youngest grandchild
then but five years of age.
Richard Smell sought to break his
fathers will on the ground that ne
was insane about women.

Ex.sEcRE1ARY SHAW TALKS
Espionage Of Business Men, Drastic
Business Restraining Legislation
and Criminal Prosecution Has Been
Carried Too Far, He Believes.

Kansas City, Feb. 19.-Leslie M.
Shaw, eX~.secretary of the treasury,
who has arrived here to address the
Kansas City Bar association, gave out
a signed statement to the Associated
Press in which he declared that a
number of unauthorized reports had
been published concerning his recent
visit to Chicago. Mr.. Shaw declared
enced his visit to that city. He went
there, he said, at no mans instance
and in no mans interest. His visit,
he said, was on a matter of personal
business. Mr.. Shaw, in his statement.
continued:
II am not seeking to defeat any
mans nomination for the presidency.
There is not a man whose name is
mentioned who is not my personal
friend and for whom l would not
cross the continent to bestow a kind
ness. That l prefer some does not
imply that l would lift my hand
against others.
81 am intensely interested in bust
ness conditions. The number of men
out of employment and the number
soon to be dismissed is to me alarm
ing. The interest of these men and
the effect of their enforced idlepess
upon business generally far tr%anscends
any candidates ambition.
Il wish that factionalism within the
party TO which l belong might cease
and that a convention of broad mind
ed, patriotic, unselfish and unambi-
tious men, uninstructed and I'M
pledged, might gather in Chicago on
June 16 next and in the light of con-
ditions as they then exist to select a
man who is believed to be most likely
to lead the party to victory and whose
election will best the moral
and industrial interests of the coun-
try. That business confidence at home
and abroad is now at ebb tide all
who know something Of the subject
must admit. 1t will require something
besides espionage of business men,
something besides drastic business
restraining legislation, something be-
sides criminal prosecution TO again
set our Industrial wheels in motion.

SWEPT BY IMMENSE WAVE
Ocean Liner Narrowly Escapes Being
FoundereG.

New York, Feb. 19.-While tho
steamer ST. Andrew, bound from Ant
werp for this port, was plowiEs her
way through the stormy seas Of the
banks of Newfoundland last Friday
she was all but %engulfed in a huge
wave which suddenly swept down
upon her. So great was the force OF
the blow that the big ship was
brought to a stop and for the moment,
while she staggered helplessly, some
of those on board feared she would
founder. Everything movable was
swept away by the irresistible rush
of water. Cattle fittings were torn
out, the lifeboats were filled and a
food of water swept into the stoke
holes. Fortunately no. one on the
steamer was injured.

The crew Of the little six-ton sloop
Teckla, lying at anchor here, were
startled by a feeble hail from a steel

forms of four mel three living and
one dead, survivors of the American
ship Emily Reed, wrecked off the
mouth of the Nehalem river, on the
coast of Oregon, 200 miles from Neah
Bay.
The three living survivors were in
a pitiful condition. Their tongues
were swollen from thirst SO that at
first they could scarcely a%rticulate.
They had had no food since last Sun
day night nor any water since they
left the wreck of the Reed Friday
morning
