VICTIM OF FOOTPADS.

IS HE FROM WYOMING?
It Is Nell Liked lv lho Industry
iHnnngcr of the W) timing Vnllcy
nud Is tho rorcrmincr of Better
Times.
Wllkes-Barre, July 29. In order to
ascertnln tho benefits locally derived
by the passage of the Dlngley tarlft
bill, which was recently signed, and
to emphasize the fact that prosperity
is at hand, the Times today sent rep
resentatives to tho vailous industries
hereabouts and secured Interviews with
the managers and superintendents rel
ative to the effect of tho new tariff on
their business.
At the Hess-Goldsmlth Silk mill at
South Wllkes-Barre the reporter met
one of the members of tho firm who
said he was well satisfied with the new
tariff bill. Ho said It was about the
same as the McKlnley bill and bene
fited the silk Industry to the extent of
G per cent, over tho Wilson tariff bill.
The gentleman said that while the new
tariff bill will make domestic competi
tion keener, It completely excludes the
cheaper Japanese silks and will be a
great stimulus to the silk manufactor
ies In this country.
A good Indication of the arrival of
better times Is the fact that tho mana
gers of the silk mill have built exten
sive additions to their plant and are
crowded with orders. Another agree
able contrast to the cry of no work Is
that the managers of the silk mill are
In need of a large number of girls.
They promise steady work at good
wages and asked the Times to state
that all girls needing employment
should apply at once at the factory
ofllce. They want all the girls they
can get.
AFFECTING IRON.
Edwin H. Jones, general manager
of the Vulcan Iron Works, said he was
not familiar enough with the provis
ions of the new tariff to make any
statement, but expected that his Iron
works and the trade In general would
be benefitted by the Increased prosper
ity. He added that the Vulcan Iron
Works were not directly affected by
any tariff measures as It had been
many years since England was able
to send machinery here in competition
with the domestic product. He be
lieved, however, that the country
would be benefitted and confidence re
stored by the passage of the bill and
that the resumption of work would
benefit his business and create a
stronger demand for machinery and
engines.
Superintendent Doron of the Wllkes
Barre Lace Mills said he could not
precisely recall the per cent, of duty
on lace as provided by the Dlngley
mil. under the Wilson bill there was
an ad valorem tax. but under the new
bill It is a specific one. Mr. Doron
says the new duty Insures much more
protection to tho lace manufacturers.
"What do you think will be the
probable effects of the Dlngley- bill
in your Industry?" asked the reporter.
"I think It means Increased prosper
ity in our line, although we have, for
a long while, been working steadily. I
think It will tend to Increase wages, as
employment will be more plentiful,
wage-earners will be more in demand
and consequently more independent,
nnd therefore wages will Increase ac
cordingly." ,
REGARDING LACE.
Superintendent Atkin, of tho Wyo
ming Valley Lace Mills, was seen. On
being asked the duty on lace as pro
vided by tho Dlngley bill he consulted
a copy of the bill which ho has on file
and said:
"Under the new bill there Is a specific
duty on lace which will average not
less than fifty per cent, ad valorem.
Under tho Wilson bill there was a fifty
per cent, ad valorem tax, which gave
foreign exporters a wide opportunity
to undervalue their goods sent Into this
county. The Dlngley bill duty, being
specific, will prevent this undervalua
tion and compel foreign manufacturers
to discontinue dishonest undervalua
tion In order to escape the duty which
should honestly be paid."
"In your opinion what will the ef
fects of tho new bill be," was asked.
"I believe," answered Mr. Atkln,
"that it will lnsuro the continuance of
steady employment to lace" workers
and promote general prosperity,"

evening enys: Postmnstcr Crouse, of
Wyoming, today received a letter from
Walter Moir, of Alligator, Miss., In
which ho gives information of a ter
rible murder whlqh occurred In that
city on the night of, the 22d Inst,, and
indicating that the murdered man Is
from this vicinity. The letter was sent
to Mr. Crouse with the request that ho
break the sad news to the unfortunate
man's relatives In Wyoming. During
the last moments of the murdered
man's life ho gave a brief history of
himself to those about him. The letter
which was sent here spells the name
In three different ways Frank Schofer,
Schraffer or Shafer. If the man is
from Wyoming Shafer is probably his
name, as there are several families of
that name in that town. The dying
man said he had a sister and a brother
residing in Wyoming, and requested
that they be notified of the sad affair.
He was about forty years of age and
was formerly employed as a. stone cut
ter. Following Is an exact copy of the
letter received:
Alligator, Miss., July 25, 1697.
Postmaster, Wyoming, Pa.:
Dear Sir On the night of the 22d Inst.,
a man named Frank Shafer (It may be
ppclt Schaefter, Schaffer or Shafor) was
murdered, nnd up to the present time.
th,;re Is no clue to tho murderer. The un
fortunate man claimed to have a sifter
and brother, and spoko ot Wyoming, Pa.,
as the address likely to find them. He
was a man a lltt!? over 40 years of ane,
was formerly employed as a stone euiter
nnd belonged to the Stone Cutters' union.
Later ho has been working In timber
making ties and Mnvcs. As far as I can
rcmembrr him, he might be described
thus: Of nervous temperament, long face,
partially bald, light blown hnlr mixed
with gray, light blown eyes, height about
five feet, nine or ten Inches. If there Is
any chance of finding the relatives of this
man I wish you would kindly try. Al
though a sad task, yet It would bo better
than tho uncertainty. We have laid him
nway, and now trespass on your kind
ness In asking you to break the sad ncn,
feeling that this communication will go
from your local newspapers to those who
caro most to know. Thanking you In ad
vnnce, I am yours respectfully,
Walter Jloir.

has another occupant. Andrew Java
roskl is the latest addition, his victim
of Monday's Duryea shooting affray
having died at the Plttston hospital at
7 o'clock this morning.
Mllewskl, the man who was shot,
was not a participant In the trouble
which ended in his death, he having
acted the part of peacemaker, when ho
received the fatal shot. When Mllew
skl was received at the hospital on the
night of the shooting It was evident to
the physicians that his recovery would
be next to Impossible. The ball enter
ed the lower part of the stomach and
there was nothing to be done but to try
and relieve the young man of pain
while he lived.
Javorskl, who was captured soon
after the shooting, after putting up a
sensational resistance, has a bad rep
utation. 'Stiulre Gilboy was notified of the
death and he Immediately empanneled

Rlttel, Oliver Decker, P. J. Gilboy, N.
Shuffman. They will meet at tho
'Squire's office In Duryea Saturday af
ternoon at 1 o'clock.
Wonderful Tents of Physical Strength
Performed by Louis Cyr, Snndou-
nnd Snmpson.
From the- Home i'ngnilne,
The tltlo of champion strong man of
tho world is disputed between Louis
Cyr, Sandow and C. A. Sampson. Each
can perform feats which the other two
cannot, nnd all seem to avoid a fair
test of strength In competition. Louis
Cyr's performances arc, however, In
many enses record-breaking. Among
his unexcelled performances nre the
following remarkable though almost In
credtblo feats: Lifting 655M pounds
clear of the floor with one finger, un
protected: lifting 987 pounds with one
hand without the aid of his knees;
lifting l,S97Vi pounds with both hands
without tho aid of knees; shouldering
with the right hand a barrel filled with
sand and water, weighing 433 pounds,
by taking hold of the chimes, and with
out the aid of knees; lifting 97H-pound
dumb bell In right hand and 8S-pound
bell In left and putting them out sim
ultaneously to arm's length at right
nngles with the body, lifting nnd hold
ing 131-pound dumb-bell nt arm's
length In like manner with the right
hand for five seconds, nnd bringing the
weight hack to the shoulder; lifting
347-pound bnr bell from the lloor to tho
shoulder with both hands and holding
at arm's length above the head. All
these were performed before trust
worthy witnesses In Chicago, May 7,
1896. In England Cyr lifted a platform
on his back bearing a load of 3,655
pounds. He has successfully pulled
against two horses weighing 1,000
pounds each. In May, 1S95, nt Boston,
Cyr succeeded In raising 4,300 pounds
live weight.
SANDOW.
S.tndow Is perhaps the most perfect
specimen of physical development and
Is the popular favorite of strong men,
probably on account ot his manly
beauty. His muscles are developed to
the limit, and his tests of strength
equal those of the Canadian champlont
In most Instances. He Is delighted
whin posing before the public, nnd the
public forgives him this little weak
ness. In London, In 1S9J, Sandow lifted
a dumb-bell weighing 192 pounds In
his right hand from lloor to shoulder
and pushed It to arm's length above his
head. His ordinary feats, such as
breaking straps fastened around his
chest, and chains by expending his
biceps, are familiar to nearly every
thenter-goer in this country and Eng
land. Trobably Charles A. Sampson, who
claims rcsldonco In Detroit, and Is also
the "strongest man on earth," had
more than any other person to do with
the creating of the strong-man profes
sion. He holds hundreds of medals
one from the London Athletic Institute,
together with a gold belt for heavy
weight harness-lifting. He succeeded
in lifting 4,00! pounds from the lioor.
In harness-lifting Sampson excels. In
n. contest between Sampson and San
dow In London, in 1S89, the latter won,
though some unfairness Is claimed
The following measurements of
Sampson give an Idea of the extent to
which the muscles of a strong man are
developed: Neck, 17 Inches; chest,
(contracted) 39 Inches; chest, (normal)
43 Inches; chest, (expanded) f,S Inches;
biceps, 19 Inches; wrist. 4 Inches;"
forearm, 16V Inches; calf, 16 Inches;
thigh, 2 inches; height, 5 feet 7
Inches; weight, 175 pounds

How i:dlnboro' Wits Cclcbrntrd nn
American Doctor--Tcsts for In
ebriety. A recent interesting publication by
Philip Syng Physlck Conner, son of
Commodore Conner, of the United
States Navy, about his father's com
mand on the Gulf squadron during the
Mexican war, recalls to the Sun the
memory of his ancestor and namesake,
Dr. Philip Syng Physlck. Dr. Physlck
took his degree in medicine at Edin
burgh University In 1792. His name be
ing "very singular but somewhat har
monious," appealed to the Scotch wits
of the period, three of Vhom combined
to immortalize it In verse. This they
did thus:
Sing Physic! Sing Physic! for I'hlllp Sytis
Physlck
Is dubbed Doctor Phil for his wonderful
skill;
Kach sick phiz he'll physic, ho'll cure
every phthisic,
Their lips fill with Physic, with potion
and pill.
If music, as Plato does stoutly maintain,
In every dlspase be a sovereign thing
For calming the tplflts and cooling the
brain,
Bo sure, Doctor Phil, when you physic,
to sing.
Lo! Physlck! the collcgo permits thee to
work
In curing diseases the greatest of curses,
Syngl dance then with Joy when you
thlnks't at one Jerk
Physic can empty both stomach and
purses.
What a fill i.p to Phyic, If Philip SynS
Physlck
Ills skill and his quill to support him
shall sing,
Of fever and phthisic, each Master and
iMlss sick,
Of Philip Syng Physlck the praises shall
sing.
Bach gap In the sclenco of physic to fill
up.
Old Phoebus young Philip Syng Physlck
bestows;
Then tho potion nnd pill of Thll still shall
we swill up,
And Syng stall be sung at tho close of
tho dose.
Tho Physio of Philip, so sweetly to swill
up
Health, Joy and delight among mortals
Bhall bring,
With pap nnd with praise then still Phillip
we'll fillip,
And loud lo Paeans to Syng ever sing.
A beauty about these verses, which
the humorous Scotch writers never ex
pected, Is that Dr. Physlck became jn
time the "Father of American Sur
gery," and so bore out tho predictions
tho Joyous Scots made in Jest. Dr. Phy
slck was born in Philadelphia In 173S;
after graduating at Edlnburg he prac
tised In Philadelphia, doing great ser
vice during the yellow fever epidemics
of 1793 and 1797-8. He had tho fever
twice. He died in Philadelphia, Dec. 15,
1837.

A Lenten Resolution.
Mr. nnd .Mrs. Baseom had spent tho
first week of Lent trying to decldo on
something to give up during tho peniten
tial season. They had never agreed on
anything yet, and the attempt to reach
an Agreement In this Instance was un
successful till a happy idea struck Bas
eom. "What's tho matter with giving up
quarreling till Easter, anyhowV" ho sug
gested. "With all my heart," replied his wife.
"If there Is one thing I love and desire
above ccrythlng else, It Is peace. We
will not have a cross word all through
Lent, will we, dear?"
"Not one," said Baseom, with enthu
siasm. "What a pity that wo should have
made ourselves unhappy at all with thoao
wretched little bickerings! I never quar
rel away from homo. Down town every
body knows me as the most pcaceabld of
men. Indeed, I"
"What's that?" Interrupted Mrs. Bas
eom, sharply. "You mean that you
couldn't help being cross at home; that
I nm sunh a terror that you could not
keep your temper hero? How dnro you
talk that way when you know that you
rtartcd every quarrel we ever had?"
"I start quarrels!" yelled Baseom. "Non
sense! Wildest nonsense! I did my best
on every occasion to avoid them."
"You did not."
"I s-v I did."
"You did not. You were always quar
reling. You were a brute. You"
