A fatal accident occurred on the farm
of Fred. Miller, In Tunkhannock town
ship, at about 9 a. m yesterday. A
young man named Stephen Artel.whost
home Is at Hnzel'ton, was living at Mr.
Miller's and working for his board dur
Ing the winter. Yesterday ma-nine.
Miller and Artel went to the woods to
fell trees for flrewiod. They were using
a saw to cut the trees down, and hav
ing cut one so nearly off that it began
to topple, Miller snatched the saw ava
and told the young man to get out of
danger. Both stepped backward, but
the tree In Its fall struck another one
ahd the butt was hurled around side
wise with tremendous force. It struck
Artel, knocking him ten or twelve feet,
and pinning him against another tree,
the trunk of the fallen tree resting
against his shoulder. He was not In
stantly Wiled, and his companion en
deavored to pry the tree trunk off, but
was unable to do so. ' He then ran to
the neighbors, for assistance, but the
distance was great, and not undlng any
one at the first house visited, it was
some tlnie before he could raise help
and fret back to the woods. When he
did so he found Artel dead. It Is not
probable that he could have lived If he
had tieen extricated at once. The au
thorities were notified, but the death
was so plainly accidental that they did
not deem an inquest necessary. The
victim's brother. Flank jtrtel. of Du
pont, was notified and will doubtless
make disposition of the remains. He
was about twenty-eight years of age,
unmarried, and was highly esteemed by
Mr. Miller, with whom he hud lived a
couple of winters.

Friends here have received a tele
gram apprising them of the death at
Fhllipsburg, Montana, of Jane, wife of
William Hammond. , She had been af
fected with heart disease for some time,
and to that, doubtless, her death was
due. The husband has softening of the
brain and his death has been expected
for some time, but he still lingers. The
deceased was a sister of Mrs. H. A. Bar
ham and James and Miss House, of
this plnce. Mr. and Mrs. Hammond
were pioneer settlers at Phlllipsburg,
and their children were the first whites
ever born In the place. They went west
about forty years ago, residing In Wis
consin some time, before going to Mon
tana. The electric machinery at the spool
works Is now complete, and the plant
is now lighted with Incandescent lamps.
The teachers' institute opened up yes
terday morning with a talk by Prof.
Groff . on primary geography. He
thought each teacher should own in at
las, and children should be taught ge
ography very young before old enough
to study a book. County and state
maps should be hung on the walls of
the schoolroom, and directions and dis
tances should be taught, as well as
other facts pertaining to the study.
For advanced classes he would use top
ic's. Children should get a practical
knowledge of geography In two years,
and should not be kept at It through tht
whole course of school life. Prof. Sult
Uff followed wlthia talk on civil gov
ernment. He thought every child
should have an Idea of the government
of its own country, at least, and a good
way tp bercln was with township gov
ernment He thought It o'jght'to be
Instructed In voting, also, and would
recommend teachers who had no regu
lar class In civil government, to take It
up as a morning exercise at the open
ing of school. In the afternoon Prof.
Groff dwelt on plant and animal life
and Prof. Sultllff took up dlscount.illus
trating tils' talk with blackboard exer-'
clses. The evening audience was en
tertained by an Interesting lecture by
Paul Du Challlu, the noted African ex

Jumped up and drew an ugly looking
itilleto and was aj'nut to plunge It int
Dangelio when Nlchol Margarclto and
his wife rushed In. " The latter pushed
Dangelo out of the house while her
husband put Dastaslo out of another
door.
Dlstasio lay in wait for Dnr.gelo at
the corner of the house and when he
appeared he sprang upon him like a
tiger and at once plunged the knife In
to his victim's neck three times when
he turned and ran out of the alley into
Kennedy street and out Charles onto
-Main until he reached Vater street.
William Owens who wa3 In pursuit
with several others, got before him with
a stone and tried to stop htm, when
Henry Kushel rushed up behind him
and grabbed hlni. At this moment
Chief Loftus arrived on the scene and
the prisoner was turned over to him.
He was at once locked up and disarmed.
Shortly after he was taken before Al
derman Loftus for a hearing and was
committed to the county Jail.
A Jury was empannelled by Alder
man Loftus who afterward viewed the
remains of the dead man, who was
picked up and taken into the house of
Nlcol Margarato, in whose house the
quarrel began, nud adjourned to meet
at the Alderman's office this evening

and Inoffensive person and wns about
25 years of age.
The murderer is a short, vicious
looking fellow and beard a bnd reputa
tion among his fellow countrymen.
When seen in the lockup his face and
hands were covered with blood, and
when his attention was called to this he
proceeded to lick it off with his tongue.
Chief Loftus has in his possession
the bloody weapon which was used to
do the deed, and Is a dangerous looking
instrument naving a uiaue six incnes
In length.
The murderer refuses to say anything
In regard to the murder when ques
tioned, but it Is thought that this is the
cause of a long standing grudge.
