Miss Lizzie Dugg-an, an unmnrrled
woinun about 35 years of nge, mit a
strange death at the residence of W.
J. Unttln, at 724 Olive street, Saturday
morning, being usphyxiated by Illum
inating gas.
Miss Duggun wus In the best of health
on Friday und retired nt the usual hour.
On Saturday morning a nurse called
her at 6.30 o'clock,, und found the duor
locked and a strong odor of gas pre
vailing In the corridor. Receiving no
utiHwer, she Informed Mr. jiHttlu, who
forced open the door nnd found Miss
Uuggan lying dead oh tin bed und the
rum turned full on. With the excep
tion of her shoes, she was fully dressed
ami had been deud many hours. Dr.
J. I.. Wentss was immediately called,
ami pronounced that life hud been ex
tinct for five hums.
Tho death Is thought to be purely ac
cidental, us there was nothing- In her
life to Indicate any disturbing element.
Slu was .an unusually devout woman
and punctilious In the discharge of her
religious duties. The only reasonable
explanation given was that Miss Dug
giiu turned off the gas preparatory to
suylug her pruyers, und that her
sleeves, which were largo and ilowlng,
must have caught tho stop cock and
turned on the gas without her knowl
edge Falling asleep while saying her
prayers, it Is probable that she subse
quently awoke and fell on flie bed, over
come by the escaping gas. Iter rosary
was found beside her on. the bed.

burg, in the Tenth ward, and the re
mains were taken there on Saturday

' r
Jury Finds Leonardo Kosn Guilty of
' v jMurder in the First Degree.
ONLY FOUR BALLOTS NEEDED
On (ho I'll st One tho Jury Stood Nino for
Murder in tho 1 list Degree and
Ihrco Agalnst-Prlsonor Was l'n
moved by tho Finding.
At 12.27 yesteriluy the Jury In the case
of the commonwealth against Leonurdo
Rosa, who was tried for tho murder
of Vllo Laulsso at Dunmnre on Feb
ruary 27, returned a verdict of "guilt of
murder In the first degree." The pris
oner was in tho court room when tho
verdict was read, and did not seem at
all dlHtuibed by It. He leaned over to
one of his attorneys, J. J. H. Hamilton,
thanked him fur the cITurls made In his
behalf, und then with firm step walked
buck to the prisoners' box along with
Warden Jay, apparently the least con
cerned man In tho court room about
what had Just taken place.
The last scenes in the trial, which
was In progress all week, were enacted
Saturday morning. After court opened
ex-Judge Vurd completed his closing
address to the Jury nnd was followed by
District Attorney John R, Jones, who
closed to the Jury for the common
wealth. It was a brilliant und exhaus
tive effort replete with gems of thought
and sentiment ho neatly und urtlstlcully
Interwoven und bearing bo aptly on the
facts as to make the address In Its en
tlrely iv masterful argument to prove
that Leonardo Rosa wus the man who
shed the life blood of his unfortunate
countryman, Vlto Laulsso.
Judge Ddwurds' Charge.
Judge Edwards' charge to the Jury
was clear, able nnd Impartial. He de
fined the various grades of murder and
the manner in which the law makes a
distinction between them, then re
viewed the testimony and closed by
telling the Jurors that their verdict
should convey their honest conviction
nnd nothing else. After affirming tho
twenty-eight law points of the defend
ant the Judge sent the jury out to de
liberate on the case. It was then 3.45
In the afternoon. After discussing the
case for a time the Jurors selected M.
W. Snyder, a carpenter, of Carbondule,
as the foreman and then took a ballot
ns to whether or not they should return
the prisoner guilty of murder in the
first degree. Nine votes were cast in
favor of that proposition und three
against.
Luter in the day another vote was
taken which resulted in ten votes being
cast for murder in the first degree and
two against- After the jurors hud
reached that stage they retired for the
night, and yesterday morning early
nnother ballot was taken. OnevO'f the
jurors had changed Ills mind during the
night and this ballot stood eleven for
murder In the first degree and one
against. The case was then argued nnd
discussed at length by the twelve
Jurors, and at 10.40 the fourth nnd last
ballot was taken. It showed that the
jurors were unanimous In their desire
to report a verdict of murder in the
first degree. ,
Receiving tho Verdict.
Tipstaffs Hitter nnd Tierney, who
were in charge of the Jury, were noti
fied that the Jurors wore ready to re
port and word was se.nt to Judge Ed
wards, District Attorney Jones, Clerk
paniels, and attorneys for the defense,
and Warden Jay Was directed to bring
the prisoner down from the jail. At
12.20 all of these were gathered In the
court room, and Judge Edwards
ordered tho Jurors brought in. They
were led by Tipstaff Tierney, Tlpstnff
Ritter bringing up the rean carrying the
maps and revolver offered in evidence.
After the Jurors were seated Clerk
Daniels asked the stereotyped question :
"Gentlemen of the jury, have you
agreed upon a verdict?"
"We have," responded , several, . and
Foreman Snyder handed a sealed en
velope to Mr. Daniels, who In turn
handed It to Judge Edwards. Tho toll
ing of the bell In the court house spire
had attracted a large crowd to tho
court room and the face of Judge Ed
wards was eagerly scanned as ho rend
the verdict. No action of his betrayed
what the paper contained. He handed
It back to Clerk Daniels, who said:
"Gentlemen of the Jury: Hearken to
your verdict as the court hath recorded
It. You say in the case of the com
monwealth against Leonardo Rosa that
you find the defendant guilty of murder
In the first degree. So say you all of
you."
"We do," they solemnly replied.
The Jury Polled.
"Your honor, we ask that the jury
be polled," said Attorney John G. lie
Askle, as he stepped before the court.
It was done and as each juror's name
was called and ho wns nsked what his
verdict was he replied, "Murder In the
first degree." An effort will be made
to secure a) new trial for Rosa, who was
Immediately taken back to the county
jail by Warden Jay. Not seemingly ut
all disturbed by the verdict 'ho ato a
hearty dinner and was quite as cheer
ful und happy as usual during tho
afternoon.
Rosa Is certainly possessed of re
markble nerve. He. was never excited
or uneasy during the trial, and1 Satur
day night, while twelve men were out
passing upon a matter that meant life
or death to him, Rosa was sleeping as
peacefully as a child. He lay down on
his cot after supper and a few min
utes after 7 was asleep. He was still
enjoying the great refresher when the
blind door was put on his cell at 9
o'clock.
Judge Edwards commented the jurors
for tho attention they had given the
case and said the verdict, In his opin
ion, was In accordance with the evi
dence. llezek and Bosehlno, the men recently
convicted of murder In the first degree,
were thought to possess remarkable
nerve under trying circumstances, but
they are not to be compared to Rosa.
There are many who bellve that Rosa
had assistance In the work of staying
Laulsso, and If he had there is a belief
that ho will deckle to tell tho wholo
truth about the matter In case ha
should be called upon to pay the death
penalty.
The Third Convietion.
Rosa Is the third man convicted of
murder in the first degree In this coun
ty. Frank Bezek was the first, and he
was convicted by exDlstrlct Attorney
Kelly last December. In January Jo
seph Bosehlno was arraigned for the
murder of Frank Confortl at Dunmore.
It was the first case tried by John Tt.
Jones as district' attorney, and the re
sult was conviction of murder in the
first degree. '
.-, In the trial of the Bosehlno and Rosa
oases Mr. Jones has shown great skill
as prosecuting attorney. His cases
have been thoroughly prepared, no
point being overlooked, and his ad
dresses to the Jury have won him wide
fame as a foremost orate -

Mr. Curleton's comedy Is delightful In
Its simplicity and truth. There are no
Intricacies in the plot. It Is just a plain
recital of the trials and tribulations of
ordinary people, brought about us they
might be in leal life. Of course char
acters are somewhat overdrawn,- and
Bcenes worked up for diamatlc pin
poses, .but these liberties are necessary
to inulie' a stage production that will
have the necessary dash und go to
create interest and attract people to see
It.
John Drew, In the rolo of Frederick
Osslan, was very clever, especially In
the love scenes with Miss Adams
There are those who assert that
Mr. Drew, shoini; of his mustache and
uiiuble longer to roll his eyes, would
find his occupation gone, but the dls
cerniiig critic sees In him ability us nil
nctor that arises far above what would
be required fyr mere posing, eye rolling
und moustache pulling. ,
There was no two opinions, however,
ns to tho work of Miss Maud Adams
Ah Atlriun she was sweet and womanly,
anil so natural that one forgot she was
acting. Her work was the mostenjoyable
of the evening performance: the one
that will longest linger in the memory
of those who saw "The Hutterilles."
Other very clever members of the
company were Lewis linker, Harry
Harwood, Arthur Byron, Anna Del
mont und Virginia Buchanan.
WEISS' TERRIBLE FALL.
dropped Eighty I'ect In the New Hotel
Jcrmyn und Died.
Charles Weiss, who had been em
ployed as a carpenter by Contractor
Schroeder ut the new Hotel Jermyn,
fell from the fifth story, where he hud
been working, at 2 o'clock Saturday
afternoon, and he whirled downward
through space Into the cellar beneath
sustaining fatal Injuries. The Lacka
wanna hospital ambulance was sum
moned and he died at that Institution
two hours later, without regaining
consciousness.
The unfortunate carpenter was as
sistlng In placing a temporary flooring
on the fifth story. .Heavy planks were
being used for that purpose. There
were two stout ropes reaching from the
floor above to the ground, and one was
securely fastened and used by the men
as a help In crossing from one beam to
the other. The other rope was used in
hoisting the planks from the ground
It was not attached to any of the
beams above, but was- colled on the
floor.
Missed the Rope.
Weiss walked to the edge of the tern
porary planking and reached out to
catch the rope for support. He made
the fatal mistake of clutching the
wrong rope and he lost his balance and
went headlong down the area. His
body squirmed and twisted in the do-
scent and struck on a large plank on
the first floor. The force of the fall
snapped the plank In two, and the ob
struction scarcely impeded the swift
ness of the fall. Weiss struck on a
heap of broken stone and wood in the
cellar and the height of his awful
tumble was about eighty feet.
Help was quickly at hand and he was
removed to the first floor. Drs. Long
street and Hayes responded and ren
dered medical assistance. Weiss mur
mured faintly and that Is all the sign
of consciousness exhibited after the
fall. At the hospital his Injuries were
examined and found to be fatal. His
left arm was broken and five of his
ribs, one of them piercing the left lung.
The deceased was 24 years of age
and came here from Hoboken. He
boarded with John Weisenfluh, on Lu
zerne street.
Third Accident on lluildlng.
This Is tho third accident In the way
of falling from the hotel since the work
of construction began. The first man
was not Injured; he struck on an iron
rod, which he caught and saved him
self from probable death. The second
event was the plunge of "Rigger" Jor
dan, who escaped death, but Is noy a
demented Inmate of the Insane asylum
at tho Hillside Home.
Coroner Kelley empanelled the follow
ing jury: P. H. Gllgallon, H. F. Squlers,
M. II. Kcogh, Nell McTague, W. J.

quest will be held Thursday night In the

and Rendered Her I nconscious.
Ho 1'lchts with tho Police.
There were two serious disturbances
In the city yesterday, either of which
might have ended In murder. A wo
man was violently assaulted by her
landlord on the West Side during the
afternoon, and at 10 o'clock last night
six Italians took possession of a street
car on Adams avenue, and In the light
which followed two revolvers and two
ruzors were drawn upon the crew and
passengers.
A Dunmore .suburban, car Inward
bound, contained six Italians, slightly
Intoxicated, und several American male
passengers. Tho Italians were profane
and noisy. Near Marion street Con
ductor Messltt ordered them to be quiet
One of the Italians pulled a revolver
partly from his pocket, but pushed it
back again und then grasped the con
ductor by the arms. A seufllo ensued,
and another Italian who whipped a
razor1 from his pocket and hud started
for the combatants, was knocked to
the flour of the car by a passenger.
That was the sequ.il for a general
fight, In which Motorman O'Doiuh-II,
Conductor Messltt and three of the
American passengers pitted themselves
against the others. The names of the
Americans were ' the Messrs. Cook,
brothers, of the South Hide; and a Mr.
Muivh. Tho Italians were prevented
from using; their weapons and agreed
to behave, after they iiad got the worse
of the short tussle.
Police Take a Hand.
Conductor Messltt then rnn to the
county jail, procured a revolver and
telephoned to tho dispatcher's office.
From the dispatcher's office the police
received word of the trouble. Lieu
tenant Davis und Patrolmen Slont,
Mills and Muy were taken by a car to
tho switch om Adams avenue, near
Olive street, where they met the car in
which the rioting occurred. Three of
the Italians hud got uway after the
fight, but the remaining three were
arrested and locked in the central police
station. A five-shot, forty-two-calibre
revolver and a razor were taken from
two of the men.
At 1810 Luzerne street, about 2
o'clock, Mrs. Michael Lucus, a Slav,
was assaulted by her landlord, James
Jordan. Tho woman was rendered un
conscious, and the landlord was ar
rested. Mrs. Lucas had called upon Jordan
to expostulate over his demand fJr
rent, which she claimed had been paid.
The visit ended In a scuffle, during
which Jordan jabbed his list so vicious
ly into the woman's stomach and ab
domen as to knock her senseless. She
lay for a half hour in the yard sur
rounded by scores of her countrymen
and women. They threatened the
landlord's life and he barricaded his
doors against them.
Locked Himself in a Room.
"When Patrolmen Peters and Gurrell
and Detective Dyer arrived Jordan
had locked hmself In a bedroom and re
fused to surrender. When the door
was forced open Jordan appeared
armed with a bed slat. Then ensued a
fight, In which the wife and daughter
of the infuriated landlord took a part,
It was only after considerable difficulty
that Jordan was brought to terms.
At midnight last night no word of
Mrs. Lucas' condition had reached the
West Side police station.
NO MURDER AT 1'ECKVILLE.
But Riot nnd Drunkcncss Reigned Su
premo All Along the Line.
A story to the effeot that a murder
had been committed at Peckvllle was
widely circulated about the city yester
day. There was no such tragic event,
nor was any of the thirsty denizens
mortaly wounded.
Saturday was pay day at all the col

NEXT TO THE DIKE BANK:
RARELY COMES
BY ACCIDENT.
There has been no acci
dent about ours. It is
simply the natural result
of energy, due prepara
tion, anticipation and ac
tion along the most pro
gressive lines of modern
merchandising. We make
a diagnosis of the condi
tion of business and the
wants of our patrons,' pre
scribing for them the
Best and Most Stylish Garments
At the least possible prices. No !
Not chance! Our success is but
the natural result of a more intel
ligent service and a greater effort
in your behalf.
We also feel that when you
want jewelry you'll go to a jew
eler, and when you want bicycles
you'll go to bicycle agents and
when you want clothing you
should go to a clothier.
If we haven't the best line of
Ten Dollar Suits single and double-breasted
sacks and cutaways
in town, you needn't buy of us.
