Mail Carrier Not Robbed.
We published an account last
week of a Sunbury mail carrier who
was beaten and robbed, and found
groaning in a barn. Following an
investigation, and on being con
fronted with certain facts showing
irregularity, the carrier finally con
fessed to a postal inspector. He
admitted having taken several
drinks of liquor. It went to his
head after a short time hikI he felt
unable to continue his work. He
went to the barn and crawled to
the hay mow and slept off the ef
fects of the liquor. He awoke at
about four o'clock and realizing the
enormity of his offense he planned
the story of the robbery and carried
it into effect He tore his shirt,
scattered the mail over the floor and
lay under the wagon and began to
groan until he attracted the atten
tion of Mr. Kpler.
Sewage Disposal
The proposition that emanated
from the convention of third class
cities, recently held in Altoona,
that the state assume a part of the
cost of constructing sewage disposal
plants in such cities and boroughs
as are obliged to build them, is a
mighty good one and is entirely
fair and reasonable. The protec
tion of the streams of the state
against sewage pollution is a public
matter that benefits all the people,
and it has the same claim fcr state
aid that the hospitals, schools,
bridges aud highways have. The
next session of the legislature
should enact a law that will partial
ly relieve municipalities of the fi
nancial burden that the construc
tion of these disposal plants will
entail upon them, and which are
deemed essential to the preservation
of the public health. Milton Stand
aril. Injecting Passengers.
A new order has been issued for
Pennsylvania trainmen, governing
the ejectment of passengers from
trains for non-payment of fare or
violation of rules. The ejectment
must be made at a station and pre
ferably one iu, or close to, a towu
or settlement of some sort; and
when the person ejected is a woman
or a child unaccompanied or a man
drunk or otherwise i-tpable of
caring for himself, it m be made
at a station where an agent is ou
duty, and the agent must be noti
fied of the ejectment, that he may
properly look out for the ejected
woman or child.
Demand for Horses.
The horse business has kept right
on developing in spite of the fact
that the automobile industry has
been engaged in similar undertak
ing. The demand for horsesis still
great. The supply of some classes
of them is inadequate. The prices
are high. The automobile may
scare the horse into the ditch, but
it isn't likely to crowd him to the
wall. There will always be a field
for tbe horse, as there will always
be a field for the automobile.
Both Aided in Killing Cobbler.
Marcavich Contested That Both He and
"Pimple Face" Joe Murdered
Yeialonii.
What will undoubtedly prove to
be one of the greatest murder trials
in the history of Northumberland
county will be that of "Pimple
Face" Joe Kecheskie at the coming
term ot criminal court at Sunbury,
when he will 1)0 charged with com
plicity in the murder of Cobbler
Ycssalonis, the aged Springfield
victim, for which crime Stanney
Marcavich has already been sen
tenced to hang.
The confession of Stanney Mar
cavich, who was convicted of the
crime, will play an important part
iu the trial. Marcavich has con
fessed that both he and "Pimple
Face" Joe were present at the mur
der. Stanney confessed that he
struck the cobbler with a club, fell
ing him to the ground and that Joe,
then seeing the cobbler moving,
seized a hatchet and struck the
blow which resulted in the death of
cobbler. The two men then divid
ed the money found in the cobbler's
s!iod and ran away. Joe hurried
in the direction of the Corbin col
liery and held up a fellow country
man committing this second crime
in an endeavor to prove au alibi.
It developed at the hearing last
week that while running away from
the scene of the murder Joe met
.Stanney Cotaska. a Shaniokin sa
loonkeeper, who was called as a
witness. Cotaska testified that on
the day of iie murder lie saw a
crowd of people running iu the di
rection of the shoemaker's shop and
met "Pimple Face" Joe walking iu
the opposite direction. lie said to
Toe. "What's the matter down
there ?" and Joe replied, "the shoe
maker is killed, but I don't know
how." It will be remembered that
at the Marcavich trial Joe testified
that he had not been near the shoe
maker's shoo and did not know
anything about the murder of Yes
salonis. The Northumberland county of
ficials Saturday endeavored to get
Stanney Marcavich to repeat his
former confession but he stated that
he would not leave his cell to testi
fy in the case. He says he is ready
to hang.
Joe was recommitted to stand
trial for murder.

Mn. Monroe Griol-Strlcken Over Prospect
ol Arrest.
Mrs. Harriet A. Monroe, of
Washington, D. C, who owned the
moving picture machine during a
performance of which at Boyer
town, Pa., 170 persons, including
her sister, were killed in a panic,
said that she would not dodge the
warrant which has been issued for
her arrest. "I shall not seek to
avoid the service of the papers,"
she said, "although the announe
meut that someone lias issued a
warrant for my arrest is hard for
me to bear in connection with the
sorrow that is already mine."
Mrs. Monroe appears to be brok
en in health and as she talked of
tbe catastrophe she shed tears.
"There is little for rr.e to say,"
she answered, when questioned as
to the responsibility for the disas
ter. "I was no more to blame ior
the fire than the man who now
seeks to add another sorrow to my
cup. Heaven knows I have suffer
ed enough already, for the fire cost
ine the life of my sister and the loss
of my business. It Ins about ruined
111c and 1 1 ave been miserable every
moment since the tragedy."
Mrs. Monroe says she does not
regard the operator of the machine
as inexperienced. He. handled it
satisfactordy, she contends. The
fire, she says, was caused by the
overturning of a coal oil lamp by a
stage hand, who came from behind
the wings to investigate a spu'.ter
ing in one of the pipes. The oper
ator immediately shut on the ma
chine and endeavored to check the
panic-stricken people, but to no
avail.
Mrs. Monroe was not present
when the accident occurred.
