New Orleans, La, June 17.--Follow.

Italian quarters of New Orleans, one
of the worst tragedies connected with
that section occurred early today when
three Italians were shot to death.
According to the police these men
were killed as the result Of an at.

from Pierto Giacona, a wealthy italian
wine merchant. Giacona and his son
told the police that these men had fire.
quently bought wine from them by the
barrel and had invariably refused to
pay for it.
According to their story these three
men forced them to ship wine to a
point in the state yesterday and re.
turned early today and ordered them
to prepare them meal. The elder
Giacona suspected trouble and hid a
repeating rifle near the table.
When one of the visiting Italians
drew a heavy revolver and ordered
them to produce all the money and
valuables In the place the elder Gia.
coma answered with a rifle shot. One
man was killed instantly and the 9th

A broad tidal river flashed into
sight below the trestle, spread
4 ing away on either hand
through yellowing level meadows. And
now, above the roaring undertone Of
the cars, from far ahead .floated back
the treble bell notes eff the locomotive.
There came a gritting vibration Of
brakes. Slowly, more slowly, the cars
glided to q creaking standstill beside q
sun scorched platform gay with the
bright futter of sunshades and sum-
mer gowns.
"Shotover! Shotover.' rang the far
cry along the cars. and an absent
minded young man in the Pullman
pocketed the uncut magazine he had
been dreaming over and, picking up
gun case and valise. followed a line
where one by one they were engulfed
and lost to view amid the gay confu-
sion on the platform.
The absentminded young man. how
ever. did not seem to know exactly
where he was bound for. He stood
flashing ranks Of vehicles-depot wag-
ons, omnibuses and motor cars-already
eddying around dusty gravel drive
centered by the conventional railroad
flower bed and fountain. The long
train moved out through the Septem-
Der sunshine amid clouds Of snowy
steam.
The young man, gun case In one
hand. suit case in the other, looked
about him In his good humored, lei
surely manner for anybody or any We
hicle which might be waiting for him.
His amiable inspection presently
brought busting baggagemaster
within range Of vision, and he spoke
to this official, mentioning his hosts
name.
"Lookin' for Mr.. FerrallT' repeated
the baggagemaster, spinning trunk
Say, one Of Mr.. Ferralrs men was

The young mans eyes followed the
direction indicated by the grimy
thumb. A red faced groom in familiar
livery was kneeling beside dogs
travelling crate attempting to unlock
it, while behind the bars an excited
white setter whined and thrust forth
first one silky paw, then the other.
The young man watched the scene
for moment.
"Are you one Of Mr.. Ferralrs men?'
he then asked In his agreeable voice.
The groom looked up, then stood up.
"Yis, SORT"
Take these. I'm Mr.. Siward-for
Shotover House. l dare say you have
room for me and the dog too"
The groom opened his mouth to
speak, but Siward took the crate key
from his fingers, knelt and tried the
lock. 1t resisted. From the depths Of
the crate a beseeching paw fell upon
his cuff
Certainly, old fellow he said
soothingly. II know how you feel
about it. l know you're In a hurry,
and We'll have you out in a second.
Steady, boy! Something's damned, you
see. Only one moment now! There

The dog attempted to bolt as the
crate door opened, but the young man
caught him by the leather collar, and
the groom snapped on a leash

SO he climbed in. The groom hoisted
the dog to the rumble and sprang up
behind. The horse danced and misbe-
haved, making a spectacle Of himself
and an agreeable picture Of his driver.
Then the pretty little phaeton swung
northward out Of the gravel drive and
went whirling along road all misty
with puffs of yellow dust which the
afternoon sun turned to floating golden
powder.

she asked without turning her head.

The raw groom, much embarrassed

steamed out honking hoarsely. The

A FRANK DISCUSSION.
Commissioners McGaw and
Kelly Attend and Explain
the State Road Situation.

When the contract for paving the
road in Winslow township from the
county line to the borough line was let
few weeks ago, the impression got
abroad from the wording of the original
specifications, that Reynoldsville brick
were being unjustly Disseminated
against as material for paving. AS the
whole length Of the road lies in terri
tory naturally contiguous to Reynolds
yille and there are two brick plants here
manufacturing standard product, the
feeling OF resentment was strong; the
aid of the Business Mems Association
was solicited and active measures taken
to secure consideration for the home
product. A meeting of protest was
called for Monday evening and all
arrangements made for strenuous
demonstration of displeasure. On the
afternoon OF the day of the meeting
there were unexpected developments
with the results that the threatened
storm died away as gently as summer
day.
The part taken in the business by the
