SALVI ' BAS r DISAPPEARED
it.- (
His Wife in This City Trying to find
His Whereabouts.
TOOK MONEY "AND VALUABLES
Mrs. Salvl Is Practically Pcnnllcss-Sas
Her Husband Tied on Account of
Merolo Murder Case Evidently
Fears the Condemned Man.
Joseph- Salvl, the Old Forge barber
who It is alleged Instigated the murder
of Emanuel Loro, fled for parts- un
known yesterday, deserving his wife
and robbing her of all her money and
valuables. .
It is generally believed that Salvl
feared that. Merolo who Is under sen
tence of death at the county Jail, would
make a confession which would Impli
cate him in that most cold blooded
murder und to escape the consequences)
he has departed fur Italy.
His alleged participation in the mur
der could tint be proved although he
wus arrested twice us mi accessory by
County Detective Leyslion. who each
time was frustrated In his efrorts to
have Sulvl held through the failure of
Witnesses to put In un appearance.
As the story went ut that time Sulvl
was the leader of u swret Itullun so
ciety und wishing to Kt tid of Loro
who hud set u: nit opitosltinn barber
shop at cheap prices, hired Merolu to
clear him out.
Merolo who was a reckless dare-devil
sort of a fellow picked a tight with Loro
und shot him down In cold blood. tiring
live bullets Into his body. Then he re
treuted to Suhi's house, was given tho
money for which he agreed to do the
murder and slipping out the buck door
made for the woods.
SALVI WAS CHIEF WITNESS.
When Merolo was raptured In Boston
lust fall and taken back here for trial
Salvl was the principal witness against
him. The only question for the Jury to
decide was whether or not the prisoner
was Merolo.
This niun. Salvi, who Is one of the
most Intelligent ltalluns In the valley
willinglv presented himself at the trial
and with his wife and a big crowd of
his people swore positively that Merolo
committed the murder and thut the
prisoner was Merolo.
The prisoner up to the present day
denies stoutly that he is Merolo but as
his lawyers have given up the tight
und death alone stares him in the face,
it is thought he will make a confession.
In order that he may revenge hltnse f
on his traitorous friend. What adds col
or to this view of the case Is thut his
wife says, openly, it Is on account of
the murder her husband has skipped
out. ,,
Mnlvl mode his departure some time
during Tuesday night or early Wednes
day morning.
When his wife awoke she discovered
that he was gone, and also that her
Jewelrv was missing. Including her
finger rings, which he had Induced her
to place in the bureau drawer before
retiring.
Being unable to find any trace of him
around Old Forge, and fearing that he
had decamped a Bhe had for some
time exnected he would do,- she came
on to Scranton, where she discovered
that he had taken their savings,
amounting to over "i0, from the Mer
chant' and Mechanics' bank.
INVOKED AID OF THE LAW.
Her worst fears being fully realized
she went to Alderman Millar for ad
vice, and he directed her to Chief of
Police Simpson. The chief could not
do anything for her. except to advise
her to go to New York and watch the
Italian steamer.
As he can not be at present accused
of anvthlng more than desertion It Is
not likely that the police will interest
themselves In the case.
Merolo was sentenced to death on
Jan 27. The sixty days In which the
governor is expected to nx the day of
execution, will be up today. Sheriff
Clemons has not yet received any of
ficial notice from the governor.
IT WAS A LUCKY BLOW.
Patrolman May Disarms a Murderous
Polander w ith His Club.
During the early hours of yesterday
morning a drunken Polander named
William Grist was raising a disturb
ance on the corner of Penn avenue
and Mulberry street, yelling at the top
of his voice and daring any one to come
near him.
Patrolman May heard the noise and
located the cause of It. He was Juat
about to place Grist under arrest when
he saw that thp Polander had an open
knife in his raised hand and was to
all appearances waiting for the offi
cer to get within arm's reach.
Drawing his club the patrolman ap
proached the man cautiously and with
a well directed blow caught the fel
low on the wrist with hts club and sent
the knife flying Into tfhe street. The
fellow offerred no further resistance
and was easily towed to the station
house.
Thirty days was hln portion In police:

PiSiBtlngton Company Gave Fine
Presentation of Melodrama.
The members of the Wright Hunting
ton Stock company essayed melo
drama last night and gave a very force
ful presentation of Harvey's striking
melo-drama, "Woman Against Wo
man." It la a drama of strong human
Interest that is much closer to nature
than the average of Its kind. Last
night tt was produced with the nice
discrimination and attention to details
that ever marks the work of the best
artists.
Mr. Huntington and Miss Taylor sus
tained the leading roles and proved
their remarkable versatility by their
line work In roles that were the antl
HicsIm of those they appeared In in Gil

Pcmocrata of tho Lower llranch Will
Caucus Tonight to Select Candidates.
The Democrats who will compose
the next common council will caucus
tonight at the Pacltlc hotel on Penn
nvenue, to select candidates for chair
man and clerk. J. J. Grler the present
Incumbent and H. J. Nealls, who op
posed him last year are again the prin
cipal He'ilrants for the chairmanship.
There are half a dozen or guore can
didates for the office of clerk Including
H. C. Hatton, the present clerk, J. C.
Heamlsh. M. J. O'Toole, W. F. McLean,
John P. Muhon and a number of others.
There Is u good sized doubt that owing
to the bitterness of the Glier-Nealls
light that either side will be contented
with the outcome of the contest and It
Is believed thut the defeated cunilidate
whoever he may be, will endeavor to
make a combine with the Republicans
and some one of the candidates for the
clerkship and carry the reorganization
over '.he head of the caucus nominees.
All sorts of combinations are being
talked of and It was said yesterday
Rround the city hall that a combination
which will be made toduy will keep
many Democrats out of the caucus.
One thing Is quite certain that at all
events tonight's caucus will not settle
the tight notwithstanding the Demo
crats' hlir majority.
In select council circles there Is very
little reorganization talk, tt being gen
erally conceded that Colonel Sanderson
will be elected chairman and of course
Martin Lavelle will continue' as clerk.
John K. Roche will it is likely be given
the Democratic nomination and will re
ceive the ten votes which the Demo
crats will muster In the next upper
branch of the municipal legislature.

He Think the EntcrprUins Arthur's Com
bination Baud Stand and '.Portico Is
Mot Porinissablo I Oder City Ordi
nances and Orders It Removed.
Undoubtedly the most disgusted man
In this city yesterday was Arthur
Frothingham.
Mr. Frothingham has been doing
some thinking of late, and the results
of this cogitation he expected would
draw down upon his head the beneate-
tlons of the populace.
He expected that the citizens would
rise up en masse and call him blessed;
that he would bo heralded broadcust as
the benefactor of the people.
But ut! this is not thus.
The law, without which he reckoned,
stepped in and called a halt to his bene
factions.
For many years the people of the city
have been crying for a bund stand, but
their cries huve availed them nothing.
No one or ones could be Induced to
come up with the necessury wherewith
to make the much desired stand a real- ,
ity.
Mr. Frothlnghum, while designing the
new arcade, wus struck with the Idea
of giving to the city the long desired
boon and at the sume time giving his
theuter entrance un up-to-dute metro
politan appearance. So he drew up
plans for a pretty portico to project
over the sidewalk, to be supported by
massive pillars set on the curb line,
which would. In the first place, serve to
beautify the entrance und protect thea
ter patrons coming from and going to
their carriages; and, in the second
place, as a bund stand, tt being his in
tention to have the roof of the portico
titled up for such a purpose.
KEPT THE MATTER A SECRET.
That tt might be a complete and glad
some surprise, he kept the matter a
secret, purposing to plan the thing
quietly and spring It on the unsuspect
ing public. -
Yesterday was the time set for the
surprise party, and at 7 o'clock In the
morning his bul'ders set to work and
by noon the portico had assumed shape.
At this hour an interruption came in
the form of nn order from Street Com
missioner Kinsley that the portico be
torn down, as it conflicted with the
building ordinance.
This was far from what Mr. Froth
ingham had expected, and to say thut
he was disgusted Is putting it mildly.
He censed further operations, but told
the street commissioner that he would
see himself eternally condemned If he
tore down the portico without a strug
gle. The street commissioner gave him to
understand that if the portico wasn't
down and the material removed within
twenty-four-hours, that the city would
tear it down.
Mr. Frothingham Is a fighter from

for.
It ts his Intention to have the case
laid before councils tonight and to have
a Joint resolution passed permitting him
to go ahead with the portico.
HE WILL CAUSE TROUBLE.
If he doesn't get this permission he
Intends to have Mr. Kinsley explain
why the Erie and Wyoming Valley
Railroad company was permitted to
build a portico, not only over the entire
width of the sidewalk, but also over
two feet of the street, and why the Ho
tel Jermyn cornice ts allowed to project
three feet or more over the sidewalk,
and why the cornice of the new Gould
building 'Is permitted to project over
the sidewalk and why It is that he In
particular is singled out among all
these violators of the ordinance in ques
tion. He says that Building Inspector Nel
son approved of his plans and that
Mayor Oonncll raised no objection to
them when tlvy were submitted to
him.
This being the case, he believes and
will insist before councils tonight that
the street commissioner has no right
to interfere with him.
