FIERCE BATTLE HI JESSUP
One Mm Killed and Three Wounded
in a Serious Manner.
ALL KINDS OP WEAPONS USED
It I Probable That One of th InJuied
Men Will Dlo-ll I a llrother of
th. Murdered Man-Storle
Are Conflletinf.
Pierce yll or men, the shriek of a
woman, followed by the report or a re
volver and the groan or injured men
awoke the peopl of the village of Js
up. In WiMun borough, yesterday af
ternoon at 5.50 to the realization that a
desperate battle was being fought in
their inld?t.
The scene of the conflict won the
Diouse of Angelo Carzlnto. on the Back
road, and while the .battle lasted a re
volver, two razors and a claup knife
and u stiletto seem to have been used
with desperate effect.
Mike Dentarko, agi-d 37, married, was
stabbed through the base of the heart
and died almost inetantly. He leaves a
wife and one child.
Nicholas Dcmarko, brother of 'the
murdered matt, 23 years of age and
ingle, was shot through the right arm
above the elbow and slashed across the
right shoulder and over the left nipple.
His wounds iare of a dangerous nature,
and he suffered greatly from loss of
blood. Di Slckler, who was called to
attend the wounded 'men, doe. not
WiL-ik Nicholas can recover.
Paat-on Parretto wa cut from the
top of the 'head to the left ear. The
wound Is un ugly one and bled pro
fusely. He has another cut acron the
client, where the breast bone saved hi
life, and a third on the left thigh, which
Is laid open for a distance of Uhree
Incite.1).
John Corello suffers from a wound In
the right ehouUler. which Dr. Slckler
says U a knife wound. Corello Insists
that he was shot. He suffers great
pain from the wound.
Four Men Arrested.
Immediately after the battle Burgess
Sheridan went before Justice of ths
Peace M. F. Kelly and swore out war
rants for the arrest of Angelo CurzlMo,
Pascon Parreitto, John Corello, Domln
lck Dernao.'Charlefi Warder and P?ter
Purette on a charge of murder. The
first-named four were airrested, but
WardVer and Parol te Bitcceedtd in mak
ing 'their escape and started In the di
rection of Olypltant, where they live.
Coronor Kelley wa notified and went
to Wlntoit last night, where he empun-
eled the following Jury: T. C. Mtlvin,
P. F. Griffin, T. V. McDermott, John
Ward. P. F. Godfrey and John Lan-
gau. After viewing the body the coro
ner adjourned to the office of Justice
of the Peace Kelly, where the testimony
of Mr. and Mrs. Angelo Carzlnto, Dorn-'
Inlck Dernao and Pascon Parretto was
heard. With the exception of Carzln
to, none of these could make themselves
understood with uny degree of certain
ty in English and there was no trust
worthy Interpreter available.
The pot-oner adjourned the Inquest
until 3 o'clock this afternoon, when a
post mortem will be held on th? dead
man which Is expected to reveal ctrts
other than the one which caused death
as well as pistol shot wounds. All of
the participants tell different stories
of the occurrence, but so far as could
be ascertained last night the following
Is a true statement of the facts:
Cause of the I'npleasantnom.
Carzlnto, In whose hous the trouble
occurred, Uvea on Hack road and keeps
boarders, one of whom is Pascon Par
retto, a cousin of Mrs. Ccrzlnto, That
lady's husband Is Jealous of Parretto,
alleging that he pays her too much at
tention. The Carzlntoes were married
lust January. The husband on Bun
days and after his daily labor shaves
some of hi countrymen.
Yesterday morning he performed that
service for several of them and during
the afternoon the men whose name
huve been mentioned above assembled
as his house. Five of them were from
the vicinity of Naples and the others.
from southern Italy. A dlsput
arose and Pascon Parret'to ran upstairs
to his room and obtained his stiletto,
a long, desperate looking weapon.
When he again appeared on the first
floor of the house hostilities were re.
umed In earnest. Carislnto put Mike
Demurko out of the side door and waa
treating Parretto the lame way when
the latter stabbed and killed Demarko,
who fell dead' at Carzlnto' feet.
Nicholas Demarko rushed , to his
brother' defense, armed with a clasp
knife, which he ran Into Parretto'
breast. In the meantime two blows
from Parretto' weapon laid the shoul
der and breast of Nicholas open and he
fell bleeding profusely.
Warder Had a Mevolv.r.
Charles Warder, wha waa armed with
a revolver, aeem not to have been Idle
during thl time. One shot from hi
weapon, entered the arm of Nicholas
Demarko, and Corello nay that when
he wa forced Irfto a chair by Carzlnto
and told to keep quiet. Warder de
liberately came up and shot him In
the shoulder.
Parretto denies doing the killing, and
ays the wounds he suffered were In
flicted by Angelo Carzlnto and Dom
lnlck Dernao, who had razor, and
Nicholas Demasko, -who iwas armed
with a knife. He positively denies that
he had a stiletto, and Mrs. Carzlnto cor
ro borates him on thait point,
Carzlnto, on the other hand, indig
nantly denies that he had a razor or
used one, but could not find language
to be emphatlo enough In saying that
Parrettowentupstalrswheni tho trouble
begun, got bit stiletto and used It, Mrs,
Oaninto, K would aeem, Is endeavor
ing to shield her cousin. From the In
formation now at hand It does not seem
thut Peter Farette had an active part in
tho slashing.
Carzlnto, who to the most Intelligent
of the party and the beat able to use
the English language, served two years
In the Danncmora penitentiary for
criminally assultlng a woman In New
York state. He seems determined to
fasten at least the greater part of the
reaponslbllty for the murder on Pascon
Parretto, who is a alngle man, 24 ytar
of age. Corello is a widower.
Dernao May Tell the story.
Domlnlck Dernao 1 a stolid individ
ual, who supports Carzlnto' story that
ParetUo had a stiletto. It 1 probable
that, through an interpreter, he will
-tell the whole story of th trouble to
day. County Detective Leyshon, accom
panied by Deputy Sheriff Ferber, wen
to Jessup last evening, and after the
hearing brought the four men arrested
to thl city and lodged them In the sta
tion house for the night. Paretto and
Corello complained of great pain from
their wounds.
The house where the buttle occurred
4s a small two-story frame building,
and after the cutting it resembled a
slaughter lioiwe mure than a dwelling.
There was blood everywhere, the floor
of the dining room being covered by
a large pool of the crimson fluid.
County Detective Leyvhon has the
clasp knife of Nicholas Demarko, which
is covered wllh blood. The point of the
Urgent blade la gone, evidently ihuvlng
1ceu broken during the fight. He has
also a case which Curzlnto identities
a the covering of ParreDto'n tilet,to.
The weapon itself could not be found
last night. A razor was also found In
t'lie house, which Carzlnto says is tils
property. It does not look as. If it had
a part In the hostilities.
CAVENE Y'S GREENBACK.
Thought It Wa Worth More Than II
Was Allowed for It.
On Saturday Alderman Wright Issued
a warrajit for James Kelly, the proprie
tor of a 'hotel on Von Storch avenue,
Green Rixlge, on a charge of keeping a
gaimlhlLng house preferred by Kdward
Caveney.
It appears that on June 4 Mr. Cave
ney and several friends were In Mr.
Kelly's pla.ee. They played cards and
drank, and presently when Mr. Caveney
went to pay his score he handed Mr.
Kelly what the latter asserts was u. SI
bill. Mr. Caveney said It was a S5 bill
and demanded change accordingly,
which was refused, the hotelkeeper ex
plaining that he received only $1.
The matter elumberedtintll Saturday,
when Mr. Caveney had a warrant is
sued. 'Later In the day the 'parties got
together and came to an understand
ing, and the charge will be withdrawal
today. The statements that Mr. Kel
ly's pluce was on Capouse avenue and
that he kept money given him In trust,
which were made by a ooritainporary,
were altogether Incorrect.

GETTING READY FOR FOURTH
A Seranton Deal.r In Pstrlotie Ammuni
tion Assert That th gum of $25,000
Will Be Expended to Properly Cele
brate th Fourth In Seranton.
A Tribune reporter called on local
dealer in fireworks Saturday with a
view to finding out what opportunity
will this year bw offered to "Young
America" to explode hi patriotic exu
beratlon on the Fourth of July. The
discovery made was that all Indication
are far a noisy on Independence Day
as has been witnessed up to date, if not
the nolsest.
Mr. Williams, of Lackawanna ave
nue, a large dealer, said that the com
ing Fourth will bet crackerjuck for the
price of the toy explosives ha declined
60 per cent., owing to the reduction In
tariff by the Wilson bill, consequently
twice ns much nolwe can be made for
the sume amount of money.
There have been no radical changes
In Ihe manufacture of the common fire
cracker over that of last year. There
are different kinds of fire-crackers now
adays, more than there used to be. The
old kind was hardly loud enough for
the modern small boy. To satisfy him
dealers are putting on the market a
brand known to the world as dynamite.
They make so mu-h noise that it Im
generally supposed they contain a dan
gerous explosive. The change has Come
because they are pucked tighter.
Tho Torpedo I Popular.
The one tityle of fireworks for which
there is the most demand is the festive
torpedo, which the xtnall boy delights
to stand behind a corner with and
throw ut the "copper" as he passes
swinging his Luton. This yeur, they
ure rolled lit tin foil und wrapped
tighter and they make a louder noise
when they explode. They will retail at
r, and 10 cents a package.
The toy pistol will not be seen very-
much this year as the popular outburst
of feeling against it seems to have
killed it before It had a chance to do
any more killing on its own part. Of
course there will be cap pistols on the
market which are made In imitation of
the regular revolvers und which shoot
caps alone. The caps, too, are rather
formidable affairs und maVje a noise
that Is not to be despised.
If It Is commonly believed that only
the small boy Is concerned In this busi
ness on the Fourth let it be Immediate
ly dispelled. Men, the book Bays, are
but children of a larger growth, and a
few hours on the streets will soon con
vince that after dark 75 per cent, of the
fire crackers are set off by boys who
huve left the glamor of youth far be
hind them.
Woe to the unlucky cur that allows
the boys to fasten a tin can to Its
tall: woe be the drowsy toper that goes
to sleep In the hallway from the effect
of too much liquid lightning.
Amount of Money That Uocs I p In Smoke.
Mr. Williams stated that nr less than
$25,000 Worth of explosives will be UBed
this Fourth In Scranton. That mean?,
according to the drop In prices, that
there will be Just twice as much got
and therefore twice the noise. The
common pack of fire-crackers lias
dropped to 3 cents 'from S and is very
much larger.
Then there are single rockets that
cost us much as J25o. But one pa
triotic family can hold Its end up well
enough by an outlay of tiO. This will
give the older members a chance to sit
on the piazza and touch off a half
dozen rockets, a dozen or more Roman
candles, as many soln wheels, para
chute rockets, while the boy may
amuse themselves making the dog,
cats and street gamins move.
"We are beginning to have a large
sale," said the fireworks man to the
reporter, "and we expert that the a.tles
by the time the Fourth is over will be
almost unprecedented. I do not know
whether it Is patriotism or Just love of
noise but the ubiquitous small boy has
evidently been saving up his pennies
more carefully than ever before with
the fond assurance that he can have a
great deal more fun for a great deal lesa
money.
