A HORRIBLE CRIME.
Negroes. Charged with attempting to
Commit Wholesale Murder, oa Trial.
A trial of more than ordinary Interest
ii now In progress before Judge- Wood
ward. Some months ago a Hungarian
boarding house on the Wllkcs-llnrre
mountain containing more than fifty
sleeping Inmates was blown up with
dynamite. Four were killed and a
large number more or less severely In
jured. For some time this revolting
crime was Involved In mystery. Final
ly seven negroes Hive men and two
women) were larrested on suspicion
that pointed strongly to their guilt.
The accused are: J nines Miller. Nelson
Miller. Sarah '.Miller. George Hunt.
Kather Brace. Frank Slmfer and
George Jordan. The two lust named
made a full confession to the detectives.
Implicating all the others with them
selves In the crime. Dynamite cart
ridges had been placed at Intervals
under the supports of the .building,
connected with an electric battery, and
when the Inmates were supposed to be
asleep the dynamite was exploded. The
connection was not perfect and only
part of the cartridges exploded, other
wise many more would have been
killed. The object was robbery.
The persons elected to be tried se
parately, and Nelson 'Miller was placed
on trial. The commonwealth will use
Shafer and- Jordan as witnesses, and
these two, who. by their own confes
sion, were the ringleaders of the framr.
will probably escape severe punish
ment, whatever fate overtakes the
others. These negroes, or at least some
of them. It Is said, were brought Into
this section from the south to work on
the Wllkes-Harre and 'Kastern railroad
According to the story told by Shafer
and Jordan, about one hundred dollars
was secured after the explosion from
trunks belonging to the llunparlans.
The commonwealth has little substan
tial evidence apart from the confes
sions of the two referred to. Whether
or not that will suffice to convince the
Jury remains to be seen. A peculiarity
of the confessions by Shafer and Jor
dan Is that they do not attempt to
conceal their own part In the crime.
One admits that he planned the horror
and the other that he pulled the lever
of the battery that exploded the dyna
mite. These trials will probably not
consume very much time owing to the
limited number of witnesses.
When court was opened yesterday
morning there was a big crowd pres
ent with an unusual sprinkling of col
ored people who were interested In the
case. Attorney James L. Lenahan
opened the case for the prosecution,
and the first witness on the stand was
Contractor Sayre. the employer of the
negroes who committed the crime, as
well as of the Hungarians who were
killed. He said that he knew where
the colored camp was located, and
where the Hun camp was. and showed
them on diagrams. Attorney Mulhall
objected to the diagrams on the ground
that they were made from memory,
but the objection was overruled and
the plans admitted as evidence.
The dynamite cartridges which had
not exploded were brought into and
Identified by Mr. Sayre as being the
unexploded ones under the building.
After being Identified, they were gin
gerly carried out of the court room. Mr.
Sayre told of his arriving on the day
of the explosion and finding the shanty
wrecked. The building was 16x40 feet,
had three rooms down and four up
stairs. He said the charge In the
center had exploded but the three
charges In the corners had not gone
off. Me had found parts of a trunk
and clothing about 10) feet from the
shanty. There were forty pounds of
dynamite of ninety cartridges which
were unexploded. Witness thought
that about twenty-five cartridges had
exploded. There were sixty Huns In
the building, and if all the dynamite
had exploded, probably every person In
the building would have been killed.
On cross-examination 'Mr. Sayre said
he employed from fifty to 100 men.
Nelson Miller was an expert In the use
of dynamite. The dynamite had prob
ably been stolen from the tool box of
his companion, which had been broken
open.
Charles Swartwood. of New Tork.
who was night watchman, discovered
the wire first. It led down to the track
where the battery was found under a
cart. He described the finding of sev
eral bodies In the neighborhood.
Superintendent 'Mitchell, of the Le
high Valley railroad, was called and
he told of finding the bodies of the
dead, and bringing the wounded to the
hospital. Tr. Sweeney told of the In
juries of the wounded, and Coroner
Perkins described the inquest.
Mike Uolonlcovltch, who was pres
ent In the house when the explosion
occurred, was next called to testify.
He was the boarding boss and had
fifty-eight boarders besides himself and
hln wife. He told of the horrible crime
and Its consequences. The trunk which
was found 1.00 feet away was brought
Into court, and will be used as evi
dence. Then Frank Shafer was called. Ha
Is one of the negroes who confessed to
save his own neck, and his appearance
on the stand created considerable ex
citement. He told his story practically
s It appeared In theso columns t the
time he confessed. Miller, he said, got
the dynamite from the Roston colliery,
and brought It up to be used In blowing
up the shanty. In his original confes
sion Shafer said . tho dynamltQ
was obtained at ' the Boston
colliery, but yesterday . he said
It 'was at the Keystone colliery
He told how Wilier unfolded the details
of the plan, how h placed the dyna
mite, one bunch of cartridges under
eacli corner of the house, and one
bunch under the center, expecting all
to explode and kill srtxty people. Shafer
also told how Miller laid the wires and
made the connections, and related the
story of the explosion. Only one hunch
of cartridges exploded, whirl) resulted
In the loss of only four lives and not
sixty, as the negroes had planned.
On the crnss-examlnatoon Shafer got
badly muddled up. He claimed to be
able to read, and wald that he'saw the

He was shown a stick of dynamite and
told to read the Inscription, but he
was unable to do so. Afterwards he
said that he did not see the dynamite

cross-examination of this witness will

ward adjourned court at 6.30.
POUTICaX POINTS.
'While there Is no excitement In 'Lu
cerne county as yet over the pending
election. It Is evident that there will be
a very tamest contest over the com
mon pleas Judgeship. The lnucratlc
leaders, with characteristic partlsan
lsm, arc determined to make the Lu
serne bench entirely Democratic by
electing Mr. McLean. The Republicans
will do tlieir level best to elect Judge
Bennett, and In hltn they have a candi
date for whom they can consistently
uppca! to the more conservative ele
ments for support. Judge Bennett has
never been an active partisan, and as a
rough and tumble political campaigner
he Is no match for his competitor.
Judge Bennett does not understand the
arts and tricks of the politician, and
would not resort to them If he did, a
fact which ought to and will make
more votes for him than would un
dignified dickering with political ma
nipulators throughout the county. For
ttventy-tlve years both political parties
have been represented on the Luzerne
bench, although the Democrats have
constantly endeavored to make It
wholly JVmocratlc. The Republicans,
on the other hand, have been non
partisan, repeatedly declining to make
nominations against 'Democratic Judges
who were candidates for re-election.
Judge Bennett, the Kcpuhllcan nomi
nee, who is now serving by appoint-'
metit. Is recognized by the bar as In
the highest degree qualified for the
bench. I'nllke his opMnent. he has de
voted himself wholly to the practice
of law since his admission to the bar.
Mr. -McLean, on the contrary, has de
voted much of his time to banking and
general- business affairs. Some of the
local organs of Democracy are laying
great stress on the fact that Judge
Bennett has practiced very little In
the criminal courts. This Is true, but
the same Is likewise true of those Lu
zerne judges who have given the bench
Its renown judges like Conyngham,
Woodward, Dana and iltlce. iNone of
these were known as so-called quarter
sessions lawyers. Judge Bennett has
been a constant student of law. and
no member of the Luezerne bar. whose
opinion Is worth anything, denies that
he possesses in a higher degree those
qualities which constitute the safe,
able, impartial and successful Judge
than almost any other Luzerne attor
ney. The Democrats have two of the
three Judges, and conservative, fair
minded citizens will decide that the Re
publicans are entitled to the third
member, especially when they present
so unexceptionable a man as Lyman
H. Bennett.
A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
A Boy Twisted Around a Shafting In a
Mill.
Yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock
an accident occurred In Freas' mill,
near the Pennsylvania Kallroad bridge,
that cost the life of William With
erldge, the 16-year-old son of J. P.
Wltherldge, of Nanttcoke. The boy
had been sent down to dampen the fires
fur the night, which he did. On his re
turn he went Into the old engine room,
where a big grindstone Is kept and only
occasionally used, lie wanted to see
the stone run. and tried to put the belt
on the grindstone pulley. Instead of
getting It on he was caught by the belt
and before he could summon assistance
was wound around the shafting going
at the rate of 150 revolutions a minute.
A low partition about a foot from the
shafting was completely knocked down
by the rapidly revolving body. Work
men In the mill heard the thumping
and going down stairs discovered the
cause. The engine was stopped and
the boy taken down. (Life was not ex
tinct and he soon regained conscious
ness. He told how he came to go in the
room and asked for his mother. She
was sent for, but when she arrived a
few minutes later, the boy was dead.
'Mrs. Wltherldge has been In very deli
cate health for some time and for a
while It was feared the shock would
kill her, but she soon rallied and was
removed to- her home.
Ir. Kingsbury had been summoned
together with Dr. Dodson, and both
were on the scene a few minutes after
the accident, but saw nothing could be
done, as a brief examination showed
that almost every fcone In his body was
broken.
'Squire Oruver empaneled a Jury, who
viewed the remains and adjourned to
await the arrival of the coroner. The
Jury are O. W. Oruver, T. K. Calliry.
Joe Smith, marry Lape, L. I). Kerrell
and Dr. I. A. .Meek.
BASE BALL MONEY GONE.
Frank Hotly, Treasurer of the Club, Miss
ing and Some Monev Gone, Too,
Yesterday afternoon It was given out
that Frank Kelly, the financial secre
tary of the Wilkes-Ham? Base Ball
Club, had left the city, taking with him
It Is supposed, some money belonging
to the club. iMr. Kelly had been em
ployed at the Evening leader office for
eleven years, and great confidence was
felt In him not only by Mr. Bojrert, who
Is tho proprietor of the 'Leader and
president of the Jtase Ball club, but by
all the other directors of the club.
As to the amount that Is short In Mr.
Kelly's accounts, It Is not known exact
ly, as ..Mr. Bogert would not say. but
from other sources It was Iparned that
It will foot tip about $1.P)0. Kelly was
not under bonds, as he has occupied
the position of financinl secretary of
the club for several years, and the di
rectors always reposed the utmost con
fidence In him. and believed him to be
thoroughly honest. It Is said that his
accounts with the Leader are all
straight.
It Is not known At what time Kelly
left town. He worked on Wednesday,
buT went out early In the afternoon,
saying to the office boy that he was go
ing out to be gone some time and tell
ing the boy to remain In the office until
Mr. Bogert or Mr. 'Rotierts, the chief
bookkeeper, returned. He has not been
seen since.

An editorial In tho Wllkes-Barre
Times on Thursday on the subject of
murders and murder trlnls In Lucerne
Is rather more caustic than the sub
ject deserves. The difficulty encoun
tered here In convicting murderers Is
experienced In almost every other coun
ty In the state) As a matter of fact
there have been more hangings In Lu
cerne than In any other county In the
state. There have also probably been
more murders than In any other, ex
cepting possibly Philadelphia and Alle
gheny, our juries are no worse than
those elsewhere. The system of select
Ing Jurors Is the cause of the miscar
riage of justice in so many instances.
Lucerne la not exceptional In this re
spect. Cranks get on the Juries every
where, and one such can tie the hands
of eleven honest and conscientious Jur
ors.
Our Jail contains nearly a score of
men and women charged with the aw
ful crime or murder, one was con
victed in the first degree on Thursday.
another la on trial now and half a
dozen more are on the list for trial at
the present term of court. Possibly
none of those on trial or awaiting
trial wilt be convicted. Some doubtless
deserve capital punishment, but tome
A
BICYCLIST?
If So, Are Yon Certain It
Agrees with Yea?
WHAT PHYSICIANS SAY
Soma Good Advlca to All Riders of
tha Whatl Who May Ba In Dan-
gar Without Knowing; It.
"Next to my friends I love my bi
cycle I"
She waa an enthusiastic young wo
man who uttered these words and she
evidently meant them. There Is so much
exhilaration and 'pleasure In riding a
bicycle, that It Is no wonder It is so
popular.
But like every good thing It has Its
drawbacks. People who have ridden a
bicycle for any length of time are al
most always troubled at times with
pain In the back. It Is a fact which
admits of no dispute that the vibration
of the wheel causes, In nearly every
case, more or less kidney, liver or urin
ary dltllcutles. Not that these troubles
are serious at the "beginning, but they
are liable to become so if they con
tinue. There Is no more serious trouble
In the world than kidney trouble,
whether In men or women, and there
Is nothing more certain than that It
must be checked in 'time, or broken
health, shattered strength and untime
ly death are sure to follow.
Any man, woman or child can ride a
bicycle without any danger from these
troubles It the kidneys anil urinary
organs are only kept regulated. But,
of course, there Is ithe great difilculty.
Every physician knows that It Is dif
ficult to regulate1 these delicate organs,
and all physlcluns admit that there Is
absolutely but one remedy for these
troubles. That remedy Is Warner's
Safe Cure. This great discovery Is ac
knowledged to lie the only cur? for
these difficulties, because It stimulates
gently the kidneys and all adjacent
organs and causes them to continue
In perfect health. There need be no
fear of backache, peculiar pains, de
pressed feelings, or any of the thous
and thlngs'which indicate kidney difil
culty, where this great Safe Cure Is
used continuously and In time. So that
bicycle riders need not fear, but can
ride to their hearts' content, providing
only they are careful, providing only
they watch for the approach of the
first symptoms of kidney difficulty, and
providing only they check them in
time.
probably do not. Juries are not always
discriminating, but this is not 'the
fault of the court. The difilculty Is In
the system of filling the Jury wheel.
The Times should attack the source of
the evil that results in "a travesty of
justice" In Luzerne.
Indefinitely Postponed.
A correspondent wants to know
"what is the status of the new court
house question?" Well, It has dropped
out of sight. There Is no further agita
tion on the subject. Next year the
people cf Luzerne will elect a new
board of county commissioners. If
the right kind of men are chosen the
project of a new court house will be
revived and the structure will, un
doubtedly, go up during the term of
the commissioners then elected al
ways provided, however, that they are
men in whose business capacity. Integ
rity and ccynmon sense the people have
confidence. The political party that
nominates the best men will elect the
majority of the board. It Is safe to
predict that neither of the present com
missioners will figure as candidates for
re-election.
' He Deserves It.
Congressman Lelsenrlng has made
editor McCarthy, of the Hazleton Sen
tinel, his private secretary, and, during
the sessions of congress, Mr. McCarthy
will be domiciled at the national capi
tal. Mr. Lelsenrlng was largely In
debted to Mr. McCarthy's untiring and
effective labors for his nomination. The
congressman and the editor can alike
be congratulated.
Another Handsome Residence.
Colonel Asher Miner has commenced
the erection of a residence for himself
on the large lot at the corner of Frank

As a season of nofel conceptions in Fabrics the "
present one easily bears the palm. Of coarse, with .
every turn of fashion's wheel we expect improve-'
mcnts, but this season we appear to have more
than the usual proportion; we have been furnished
with more than we could rightfully demand or ex
pect We placed our orders early, before the advance)
In prices took place, and are, consequently, able to
offer a wealth ot the best things in Dress Goods
and Silks at prices which tell their own story of
careful and early buying.
Black Goods
Mostly Prlcstly's Goods, and worthier weaves never
found room on a retailer's counter. They are se
lected with an eye to quality, to style, to geaerouj
width and extra value.
