Corriago In Which 7hey Rode Was Struck
by a Train and Demolished.
Train No. 12 on the Delaware Lacka
wanna and Western about 12.30 yester
day morning struck a horse and car
riage at a grade crossing near Cralgs,
N. T., killing the horse and wrecking
the carriage.
The engineer Is confident that a man
occupied the carriage when It was
struck, but most diligent search re
vealed only a man's hat and a woman's
shawl, which were -found lying on the
seat of the badly demolished carriage.
The horse was killed outright and
thrown 150 feet down an embankment.
The train hands were assisted In the
search by a parfy of engineers who
were aboard the train on their way
home from Buffalo, whre they were
attending a meeting. The fact that all
these men searched for nearly an hour
with torches and lanterns and failed to
And anything but the hat of the man,
whom the engineer swears he saw In
the carriage makes the affair somewhat
'I a mystery.
AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.
lias Scranton Taken Hank as a City of
tho Second Clasn?
Have we 100.009 population? That is
Die question that Is being dltcursed
among h members of the board of
trade, and It Is -more than likely that a
special meeting will 'be called some
time this month for the purpose of de
termining the feasibility of taking a
correct census of the city.
Should It be found that we number
100,000 or -more, we would then rank as
a city of the cond class.

Inquest This Evening.
After the post mortem. Coroner Kel
ley decided not to -hear any testimony
until thlrf evening a-t 8 o'clock, at the
court house, when all of the witnesses
will be in attendance. Mrs. Dcmarkd
Is almost crazed with grief by the tra
gic d ath of her husband, and her rela

Nicholas Demat-ko, brother of the
dead man, who whs so desperately
wounded In the encounter,' was, .by
otder of Coroner Kelley, removed to the
county Jail yesterday afternoon from
th:- housff of Angelo Carzlnto, where
he has been since the battle. In charge

l'asx-on Patrctto, John Corello. Dom-
inlck Derriao and Angelo Carzlnto were
removed from the statlou house yes
terday and placed In the county Jail.
It Is probable that Mrs. Carzlnto will
be also locked up as a witness, but It
has not been done us yet.
Two AriCHtN Yesterday.
Sunday night it -was supposed that
there were only elgh,t men in the house-
tt th time of the battle, but Domlnlck
Dernao yesterday gave the Information
that there Were -ten, Michael Rich und
Joseph Laruss being the ones of whom
hut hi no was heretofore known. They
were arrested by County Detective Ley-
lwn, and after ."pending a few hours
In the Blakely borough lock-up, were
takui 'to the county Jail. Rich says
that lie knows nothing about the fight,
that lie ran oat -of the back door as
soon as the trouble began.
Laruss admits that he remained In
the house where The trouble occurred
and Pascon Parretto run upstairs
anu get his tftiletto and cotne dowro and
enter into the thl.-k of the fight with It.
This story Is corroborative of what
Dernao told County Detective Leyshon
yesterday through an Interpreter. Hr
says that he saw Parretto go upstairs
and get Cils --tlletto and come down and
enter the fight. -Dernao also says that
Purretto brought down with him a re
volver, which he gave to diaries Wur-
der.
l our Witnesses Agree.
That mukes ivur witnesses who agree
that Parretto nad a stiletto and used
It. They are Angelo Carzlnto, John Co
rello, Domlnlck Dernao and Joseph La
rutg. Charles Warder, who used the revol
ver, and Peter Purette are still at large.
Parette does inot appear to have had
any hand In the fight, but the authori
ties are very anxious to find Warder.
There Is little doubt that Pascon Par
retto Is tho murderer, but Warder oeems
to have lent him great a&Mstance dur
ing the conflict.
Warder was seen at Peckvllle about
6.30 yesterday morning by Officer Poole.
He ran as soon as he espied the officer,
and when last seen was -making for the
Ridge, at Archbald. County Detective
Leyshou and Deputy Sheriff Ferber

n that vicinity, but could ilnd no trace
of their man.

Htout, weighing about 10 pounds, and
wore a light gray suit and a dark cap.
He has a heavy -black mustache und
black hair.
AMORITA AT THE PARK.
Sung In a Brilliant Manner by Laurel
Hill Park opera Company.
"Amorlta" was sung in a brilliant
manner at Laurel Hill Park last night
by the Park Opera company. It Is the
second opera that has been put on at
the pavilion under tho direction of Pro
fessor Richard Lindsay, and lis suc
cess is new evidence, of the ability of
that gentleman as a conductor.
Though It was the llrst public pro
duction of the opera by the company. It
moved along smoothly, showing the
thoroughness of the rehearsing. As
Angelo, the sculptor, Mies Alice Carls
was seen In a role for which she I
admirably fitted. Her fine contralto
voice was heard at Its best In the solos
and won for her repeated encores.
. Miss Carlotta Oilman,, soprano, was
winsome and pleasing as Amorlta, her
singing confirming the splendid Impres
sion sho made on those who heard her
In the "Bohemian Girl." The duetts by
Miss Oilman and Mies Carle were
among the most charming numbers of
the opera. Henry Scarborough sus
tained the leading tenor role, that of
Sparacanl, and completed a trio of ar
tists whose excellence has seldom been
duplicated by companies that have
sung in this city.
Nat B. Cantor, Charles W. Allison,
3. K. Adams, Fanny Lodler, Marie
Warren and Robert A. Fish are other
members of Dhe company who were In
charge of Important roles.
"Amorlta" will be repeated every
night this week.

WAS IT CMC'S BODY
Bones round at Chinchilla May Yet
Be Identified.
HE LEFT HOME T0 YEARS AGO
Was in a Dcrrcssed Condition and He
Left a Nn.e Idling His Wife That
sh. ouM Hear About llim
soou Afterwards.
Two weeks ago the skeleton of an
unknown man was found In the woods
near Chinchilla. The flesh had fallen
off and the ravages of at least two
year a' thne had left only a nearly com
pact form of human bone.
Near the body was found a razor,
and a few shred or clothing were the
only clue Lading to the Identity or
the man that was. The bones were
burled and th? matter continued a mys
tery until th attention of iMr. John F.
Gey ling, of Chestnut stieet, wus re
cently drawn to the case, and present
Indications point that the dead man
wus her husbund.
Two years ago John F. Gx-ylliig, then
an Invalid, It-rt home und has since
not returned. He was well known on
the Went Side as u 'but be r, but after
Ward worked on a street cur until tin?
cur he was In charge as conductor ran
down und killed a man In the North
Kml.
Gey ling was dlschurired and the mat
ter weighed upon him. Soon afterward
he was ultucked with grip and the rlok-m-Hs
left his mind In a partially de
mented condition. Mrs. Geyllng was
then compelled to support herself and
husband. She worked hard, and Mr.
Geyllng, a sensitive man, rhameful at
his unfortunate uselessnesK, became
sullen and depressed.
Would Hear from Hi in Soon.
One evening when Mrs. Ge.yling re.
turned from a Khort absence, she could
nut find her husbund. Inquiry resulted
In nothing, but the next morning she
noticed -i note on a table In the base
ment The contents were af follows:
' Forgive me, forgive me. You shull
not work for both of us. I am going.
You shall hear from tno soon."
Search was made, but no trace was
discovered. Now comes the finding of
thi skeleton at Chinchilla.
Is thin the body of John Geyllng?
The wife believes that If is. She will
go to Factoryville today to talk to Un
dertaker Stanton, who burled the re
main!!. Though the clothing was wast
ed away, yet the fact that a lazor was
foimj It worthy of note. Geyllng
was a barber und In the habit of carry-ihu-
razor about with him.
He had only one tooth In the upper
left jaw which Mrs. Geyllng thinks may
b- Biilllcl-nt evidence, with the razor
and clothing, to establish whether or
not It was her husband's body that was
found ut Chinchilla.
