Black Hand Gang Finally Broken Up.

Black Hand Gang Finally Broken Up.
With the arrest of Tony Taro-
grass in Passaic, N. j., and his i'm
prisonment in the Lackawanna coun-
ty Jail, where his associate, Tony
George, has been for number of
days, step has been taken to break
up a Black Hand gang that county
Detective NJ. A. Rafter says has been
operating in Scranton for some time.
Tarograss disappeared from Scran-
ton soon after George was arrested
on suspicion of trying to extort
money from Joseph Ragons, a Lin
den street merchant. Although
George refused to admit anything,
Tarograss made a complete confess
sion soon after his arrest.
Ragona received the first letter
from the gang a year ago. 1t threat
ened the death of the merchant and
his family unless $500 was paid.
Instead of paying the money, Ra-
gona turned the letter, together with
similar ones that followed, over to
Detective Rafter. The trail led to a
house in Raymond court, where sew
eral young Italians lived. When the
one member, George, was arrested,
the others fled.

JOYFUL Reunion,

Paul Sardalo has been in this
country for several years. He re-
ceived a telegram from New York,
Tuesday, that his wife had arrived
there from Italy, and would meet
him at LackawaXen at 2:13 Wednes-
day afternoon. That Paul was over
joyed is putting it mildly. He at
once communicated the good news
to his brother-in-law, Narazoni Biga-
leo, and the next morning, early,
they started, on foot for Lackawaxen,
a distance of twenty-five miles. They
arrived in time, and a joyful reunion
took place on the depot platform.
Boarding the first passenger train
they came to Honesdale where they
were met by a delegation of country
men (and women) and escorted to
the husbands boarding house. Last
evening, grand reception, proper,
took place. 1t is described as a
very jolly jollification.

May Interest You.

If you need and remember the
following, it will, perhaps be of
benefit you when you go to New
York, via the Erie:
When the train service of the
Hudson tunnels is extended to the
Erie station at Jersey City on Aug.
2, the patrons of the Erie will find
the arrangements complete for the
use of Mr.. McAdoo's trains.
The Erie has constructed a sub
way from the center of the train
shed to the Hudson tunnel station.
Passengers inbound will find en-
frances to this subway at each plat
form, and will descend short flights
of steps to the subway proper,
which is very commodious in size.
Under cover and guided by elec-
short distance to the tunnel station
and can either take a train to the
Church street terminal or uptown
to Twenty-third street.
The outbound passenger, emerging
from the train at the Erie station,
uses the same subway in the op-
posite direction. At the entrance
to the stairways he will find train
indicators.
These devices are ingeniously ar
ranged so that every train and every
station may be shown by simply
turning crank.
The divisions will be shown by
colored lights and signs; white for
the main line, blue for the Northern
Railroad of New Jersey, yellow for
the New Jersey and New York, pink
for the Greenwood Lake and Newark
branch, and green for the New
York, Susquehanna and Western
when is trains use the Erie terminal
A passenger for main line sta
ton will see a white light on the top
of the indicator, next the time of
departure, then the indication as to
whether express or local, and below
will be shown the names of each
station at which the trains will STOP
Bulletin boards will be convenient
ly placed, where special announce
ments may be made, following the
policy of the company in keeping
patrons informed as to track condi-
tons, similar to the method now in
vogue, whereby if division is
blocked by wreck or other trouble,
the statement is placed on the bulle-
tin board at the ferry slips.

MURDER IN SCRANTON.
Garret S. Berry the Victim-Amos
BlakeSlee the Jealous Murderer.

Garret S. Berry the Victim-Amos
Blakeslee the Jealous Murderer.
At 1915 o'clock Tuesday night
last, Amos C. Blakeslee, who had
separated from his wife, burst
through a screen window of his
wife's home, at 720 Adams avenue,
and confronted her and Garret A.
Berry, general manager of Schrader
Bottling Works. After angry words
Blakeslee shot Berry in the right
temple which wound caused death a
short time afterward.
Blakeslee at once went to police
headquarters and gave himself up,
confessing the shooting.
Mrs. Blakeslee, whose supposed
relations with Berry, had aroused
her husbands suspicious, is a wo-
man of forty-eight years, and has
several grown-up children, the Off
spring of a former marriage. Even
while her husband was living with
her, previous to April 8 last, she
rented out several of her rooms to
boarders, two of whom were in their
upstairs rooms when the shooting
occurred, although no one could be
found who had heard the shot
fired.
Mr.. Berry is a man of forty-tive
years and with his wife and two
children lived in the Scrader resi-
dence, which is Immediately next
door to that side of the double block
at 71S and 720 Adams avenue where
the Blakeslees live. Mrs. Berry and
the children are now spending a
summer visit at Seneca, n. Y.
Berry had worked for the bother for
many years and had risen from a
! common laborer to a position of
confidence and good pay. Physi-
cally, he was handsome man, with
over six feet of height and more than
two hundred pounds of weight. His
features are fresh and we'll formed
and he wore a becoming mustache,
brown in color. His reputation is
of the best. At one time he boarded
with Mrs. Blakeslee and it was his
habit to step over every little while
to chat with the family.

Pennsylvania NOrthfield at MOntrOse

1t will doubtless be of interest to
preachers of the gospel in Pennsyl-
vania, New York and New Jersey,
and the church workers, that move
ment has been inaugurated by DR..
Torrey, the famous evangelist, to
establish at Montrose, Susquehanna
county, Pennsylvania Northfield.
The town of Montrose has been
chosen by Dr.. Torrey as a perman-
ent residence for his family and as
headquarters, not only for the work
of the Conference, but of an Evan
gelical Society and publishing
company for the dissemination of
evangelical and evangelistic litera-
ture.
The secretary of the executive
committee is George G. Mahy, who
for twenty years has been prominent
in Y. NJ. C. A. work in Pennsylvania.
For information regarding the con-
ference, he may be addressed at
Scranton.

Berry Was a Native of GaliIee.

Garrett S. Berry, who was mur-
dered by Amos c. Blakeslee, in Scran-
ton, Tuesday night, an account of
which appears in another portion of
this paper, was a native of Galilee,
about 15 miles from Honesdale, and
he and his people are we'll known
here. He went to Scranton at the
age of 18 years where he has resided
ever since. His parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. David Berry, still reside in Gal
lice. He is survived also by four
