in the boring mill section OF the plant
among a quantity of oil. The fire
spread rapidly and soon the entire

saving the adjoining property.
The value of the guns alone in the

Ancona Long in Service.
| For several months before Italy's
entrance into the war the Ancona
was engaged in carrying home Ital-
ian reservists from this country and
supplies for the Italian government.
On one of her trips from New York
to Naples late in August last year,
the Ancona was stopped by the Brit
ish at Gibraltar and "a Germans and
one Austrian were taken off the ship.
Late last summer the Ancona left FOR
Italy with $4,000 bushels of wheat,
1000 tons of hay and 500 horses for
the Italian government. On the same
voyage she carried 800 Italians in the
steerage, who went back because it
was said at the time that they could
mot get work in the New York sub
ways.
When the Ancona lett New York
on her last voyage, she was in COM
mand of Captain Pietro Massardo.
All her officers, engineers and mem
bers Of the crew were italians, who
shipped from Italy.
William fairfield, general manag-
er of the Italian line, tonight char
acterized the sinking of the Ancona
as IAN unnecessary crime" and "ab-
'solute murder" He immediately cab
led the Naples officials of his firm
asking for all information regarding
the disaster.
Although he had no list of her
passengers, Mr.. fairfield said the
Ancona on her last voyage to this
country had carried 800 of 400 pas
sengers, among them a number of
American citizens in the first cabin
and in the steerage. Most of her
passenger list, Mr.. fairfield said,
had been made up of women and
children. He believed she carried
large number of women and child
ren on her present voyage. The An
coma, he added, carried crew of
160 men. AT no time, said Mr..
fairfield, did the Ancona carry guns
or munitions of war, because it was
against the rules of the company to
carry war munitions on the same yes
sci with passengers.
The Ancona has been in the Italian
Iline service for six years and without
her cargo was valued tie more than
a million dollars.
! The Ancona played a prominent
part in the rescue of passengers
from the burning Fabre liner St.
Anna in mid-Atlantic September 10.
She came to the ST. Annals aid and
took off more than 600 passengers.
The st. Anna carried more than 1000
passengers, but succeeded in check
ing the fire and proceeded to the
Azores without further assistance
from the Ancona.

Americas New Burden.
The two addresses last evening
presented especially stlbng appeals
for the United States to assume the
burden of responsibility for carry
ing on the work of Christianization
during the terrible set back the ma
, tions of Europe will receive as a re-
suit of the war.
DR.. r. w. Sweet, pastor of the Cal
vary Baptist church of Minneapolis
pictured vividly the position Of op-
portunity held by this country in
this respect. On one side are the
warning nations, helpless to aid in
the progress of civilizing the ancient
world. On the other side is all the
needy territory of China, India and
the East Indies.
| The European countries will be un-
able to preach Christianity to these
countries because of the reflection
upon themselves for engaging in un
christian warfare. This leaves the
sole responsibility upon the United
States for carrying forward this

Train Not to Run.

That there's no early prospect of
the restoration of the LOS a. m.
train Sundays, from Philadelphia,
on the Northeast Pennsylvania Rail-
road may be gathered from the de-
,cision of the Pennsylvania Public
Service Commission, which has de-
cided that there's not sufficient need
for the train to warrant an order
for it's restoration.
Proceedings were brought by the
Business Mems Association of Hat
boro, which wanted the train to run
as far as Ivyland, anyway. The
Reading Railway Company, which
operates the road, claimed that the
train was run at loss.

NIECE'S SLAYER
FOUND GUILTY
Jehn A. Cope Convicted of Second
Degree Murder for Killing
Florence V. Cope.
COMMITTED AT BUCKINGHAM

John A. Cope, who on September
28tlast shot and killed his 18-year-
old niece, Florence V. Cope, at Buck
ingham, was last Friday found guilty
of second degree murder in the
Bucks County courts.
The girl was murdered while try
ing to defend her mother from the
drunken uncle, who visited the Cope
farmhouse near Buckingham on the
night in question, and apparently
intended to shoot somebody with
a gun he found on the premises.
The murderer, who was brother
of the girls father, Clinton Cope,
made his escape from the house
Immediately after the tragedy, hid
ing in another brothers barn for
several days until the day of the
girls funeral, when he stole some
clothing and money, and made his
way to Philadelphia, where he re-
manned a number OF weeks until
captured by the police.
The murder created great excite
ment in the Buckingham Valley,
where the girl was a general favor
lite, and it is likely that Cope would
have met speedy end if he had
fallen into the hands of the neigh
bors.

Both Sides Of the Delaware.

Fifty years ago this week George
Burgess sold his stage line running
between Newhope and Doylestown
to Enoch Hartpence. Edwin Carver,
a well known driver, took charge of
the team. For a great many years
up until the railroad came into New
Hope little over twenty years ago,
a stage line was operated from here
to the county seat, running for
years twice day each way. Doyles-
town still has a number of stage
lines running into the borough, one
coming from Carversville and Lum-
berville.
