THIS AND THAT.
In a recent letter from Consul O. F.
Williams, formerly of this city, to his
family In Rochester, he mentioned a
number of facts which are of such
general Interest that the following ex
tract will doubtless be read with much
pleasure by the consul's Rochester
friends: "We are havins perfect
weather cool breezes and frequent
showers. I never knew n liner June In
New York state. The German warship
Cormorant left this morning. (Jermnny
has now hcie the Irene, Kaiserlne
Auguste and Kaiser, but all seem
friendly, and all foreigners leprcsented
here by warships so declare. Some
days ago Agulnaldo asked me to se
cure permlsslonArnm Admiral Dewey
to have transpoi ... come from Manila
under Red Cross ling, to take wounded
Spanish soldiers to better hospitals in
Manila. The admiral agreed, nnd this
morning two tugs, each with large
transports In tow, came down, nnd
about 350 wounded Spanish soldiers
will be sent from thp rebel hospitals
to Manila. Agulnaldo Is very kind to
prisoners. I have Just received letters
from a friend in Manila descriptive of
ships, forts, food, conditions, etc. Tho
admiral pronounces them invaluable.
One notifies me that the governor gen
eral has promised an Italian SJn.OOl) if
he will kill Agulnaldo. I go in an hour
to Inform Agulnaldo, nnd to protect
him If I can. I go all over Cavlto alono
and unarmed: have not carried my re
volver at all. This afternoon I went
through tho hospitals, and all seemed
to be doing quite well. The Spanish
forces In Manila are trying to strength
en the old city walls by piles of sand
bags, but It Is useless. "We can destroy
the walled city in an hour or two, and
make it uninhabitable. I have Just re
ceived letters from home, written April
16. The malls are Interrupted. Letters
received today were stamped 'Dis
patches to Spain or Spanish colonies
prohibited on account of war.' "
She was a stranger In the city nnd
was walking up Spruce street with an
other lady who was also a stranger.
Said the first: "I always pick out an
Intelligent looking man if I am In u
strange town and want to be directed
to Borne point. Now. to illustrate, there
comes a man now who looks as If ho
knew something. I'm going to make
an Inquiry Just to show my discrimin
ation." "I beg your pardon, sir, can
you tell me what statue thatTs?" she
Immediately demanded of the said
man. "That? Oh, that's the Columbus
statue," replied he promptly. "Colum
bus? Who wns ho? asked the lady In
nocently. "Wh why," he remarked
hastily, "he was one of tho generals In
the late war." Then the expert in dis
ci tmlnatlng Intelligent men passed on
In ullence.
Rev. J. W. Randolph, of St. Peter's
Lutheran church, has a dog who Is al

SUNDAY MURDER IN
DUNMORE BOROUGH
JOE KELLER, KIDDLES PETER
MAYER'S BODY.
Mayer was About to Mako Good Ills
Threat to "Fix" Koller When tho
Latter Shot to Kill Ho Surren
dered Himself to tho Borough Au
thorities and Is Now In Jail Kel
ler Hnd Shot Some o Mayer's
Pigeons, which Led to Quarrels,
Threats and Killing.
Joseph Keller shot and Instantly
killed Peter Mnyer yesterday afternoon
on the Erie nnd Wyoming railroad
tracks a short distance ubove the Dun
more depot.
They hud quarreled earlier in the day
over Kellet'8 action In shooting some
of Mayer's pigeons which had fed In
Keller's gnrden. Mayer thtentoncd to
"do" Keller, nnd later in the day fol
lowed him nnd attempted to assault
him with Iron knuckles.
It was then that the shooting oc
curred. Keller fired several bullets
Into Mayer's body. He surrendered
himself to the Dunmore police nnd Is In
the county Jfii 11. He was atralRncd he
fore Justice of the Pence Krotzor nt
S o'clock Inst night nnd was commit
ted. In the absence of Coroner Longstreet
and his deputy, Dr. K. M, Pennypack
cr, from tho city, a coroner's Jury was
Impannoled by Justico of tho Peace
Krotzei.
Mayer was 24 years old, a slater by
occupation nnd the son of Sebastian
Mayer, of Maple street, South Side.
He lived with A. P. Render, sometimes
called "Pa" Bender, on Luke street.
The house is situated In art extreme
corner of the Tenth wnrd, cast of tho
Delaware, Lackawanna nnd Western
railroad tracks, Tho place has
heen n. frequent source ot com
plaint to Burgess Daniel Powell, of
Dunmore, who has been unable to net
against It on account of tho loca
tion of the house Just Inside the city
line, where Sunday drinking bouts nnd
carousals have been of frequent oc
currence. ABOUT TO BE MAP.RIFD.
Mayer did little nt his trade and
seemed to have no occupation beyond
that which required n man's presence
nbout the house. He wus considered
one of thp family, and on Friday this
week wns to marry Bender's daugh
ter, "Venle," nccordlng to a statement
made yesterday by the latter, who
seems to be tho one chleflv concerned
about Mayer's violent death.
Keller Is 25 years old and married.
He has no children. He and Mrs. Kel
ler resided with the latter's father,
Byron Davis, on Klrtz street. The lat
ter thoroughfare Is In Dunmore bor
ough, skirts the bluff ovei looking tho
Delaware, Lackawanna and Erie and
Wyoming Valley railroad tracks and
runs nt right angles to Luke street, on
which the Bender house Is situated.
The Davis and Bender properties are
about equally distant from the Inter
section of the two streets. The rear
yards run together, nlthough several
vacant lots He nbout the Intersection
made by the two thoroughfares. It
was this proximity which led to the
shooting, nlthough there was no cor
responding nfflnlty in the social stand
ing of tho two principals to the affair,
Judging from tho Interior and exterior
appearances of the houses nnd from
the personality of the friends ot the
occupants.
In the rear of the Davis homo Is a
garden in which Keller has taken con
siderable pride. His efforts to make
things grow were hnndlcapped, how
ever, by a flock of pigeons owned by
Bender and Mnyer. The pigeons dug
up much of the two plantings of seed
which Keller hnd sown, nnd have re
cently been scratching among the third
planting. Last Thursday Keller shot
four of the birds. He and Mayer had
angry words over the matter.
THE MEN QITARRELED.
Yesterdny morning Keller fired into
the garden nnd killed two of the pig
eons. Mayer came to the side of tho
Davis house and renewed the quarrel
with Keller, who could be heard but
not seen behind the blinds of a second-story
window. Mayer wanted Kel
ler to come down Into the lot and fight
Keller's non-appearance led -Mnyer to
threaten to "do" the man Inside. He
said he would "fix" him. Charles
Lown, a Dunmore special officer, whose
home is near by, told Mayor to go
home: Lown said there should be no
fighting. The Bender girl finally in
duced Mayer to return to the house.
The neighbors talked of the incident
nnd their attention was naturally at
tracted to Keller when ho emerged
from the house soon nfter 2 o'clock.
He walked down Klrta street, speaking
a word to several neighbors, and con
tinued his way to the path which leads
down the high bank to the Erie and
Wyoming tracks. He had hardly got
fairly on the roadbed nnd trestle when
someone remarked that Mayer was
passing behind the houses and headed
across the Delaware, Lackawanna nnd
Western tracks, which pass beneath
tho trestle.
In the group of watchers were Spe
cial Officer Lown, Harvey Swingle and
Lemuel Jones- All expected trouble
when Keller nnd Mayer met. Keller
crossed the trestle nnd met Frank
Skinner, an Erie nnd Wyoming section
boss. The latter knew of the bad blood
between Keller nnd Mayer and told
Keller he had better return home ns
Mayer was crossing the tracks below
them and would meet Keller farther
on. Keller remarked significantly that
he would take care of himself and con
tinued toward the Erie and Wyoming
depot. Skinner remained at the trestle
and saw, as did the watchers on the
street above, what followed. Another
who saw the shooting was J. E. Shuler,
a butcher, who was walking on the
tracks and saw Mayer coming up the
embankment.
QUARREL RENEWED.
Mayer traversed a path leading up
to tho Erie tracks and reached the top
In time to see Keller several rods
ahead of him. Mayer overtook Keller
near tho first switch leading to the
railroad yard and round-house. Then
followed much gesticulation and evi
dent harsh words.
Finally It nppeared as though Keller
was trying to hurry away from Mayer
nnd that tho latter was determined on
keeping the other company. Between
tho second nnd third switch they halt
ed, Keller pushing his companion away.
Tho latter again approached and struck
Keller, who struck back nnd gave
Mayer a more forcible shove.
Mnyer drew something from his
pocket. It was clinched in his hand ns
Ihe again started for Keller. It was
then that Keller whipped out hla re
volver nnd began to shoot. Mayer's
hand wns encused In iron knuckles,
which wcie later found lying near his
body.
At tho first shot Mayer halted a sec
ond ns If hit, but whether this is so
or not will never bo determined ns nt
least two other shots In quick succes
sion were heard from Keller's revolver
and Mayer toppled over the high em
bankment. Ills body tolled along tho
cinders about llftecn feet and stopped.
Mnyer was dend to n certnlnty. After
the sliding stopped, the position ot the
body did not chnnze until it wns dis
turbed by onlookers.
WOUNDS INFLICTED.
Keller used a 3S-callbre revolver.
One bullet struck the angle of the left
Jaw. another entered the body near the
left aim pit and n third glanced the
Beventh rlh, nlso on the loft side. There
wns a bullet hole through the left
hlsocps nnd nnother In the forearm.
Either of tho wounds on the arm might
have been made by tho bullets which
entered tho arm pit nnd glanced the
seventh rlh: nr the wound on the fore
arm inlzht have been caused by the
bullet which struck the Jaw.
The men who saw tho shooting agree
that there were three shots, but they
disagree, ns Is usual in the excitement
of such cases, ns to tho number of shots
above that number.
omcer Lown' stnrted for the scene of
the shooting. He met Keller return
ing near tho trestle. Keller said ho
was going home and would give himself
up to the Dunmore police. Ho did go
home, where he reloaded his revolver
and, accompanied by his wife and
Lown, went to his father's house on
Mill street. There Mrs. Keller remained
while Keller wns In the custody of
Policeman Fritz Beaver, to whom the
revolver wns surrendered; Lown nnd
Pollcemnn Jacob Plotcher, went to tho
Methodist church. Burgess Daniel
Powell was summoned from within and
directed that Keller he locked up.
KELLER'S STATEMENT.
Keller was Interviewed In tho lock-up
by a Tribune reporter.
"I shot In self-defense," said Keller,
when asked what had prompted him
to commit the deed. He said ho had
"license" to carry u revolver. When
nsked what he meant by that ho said
the weapon was not conce-ilcd, that he
carried It In a belt, although It was
hidden by his coat. The weapon Is a
good one It Is a 6-shot, hammorless
Smith & Wesson.
Keller did not seem at all worried or
concerned over his situation. He
looked nnd ncted like a man who had
done something nbout which people
would talk, but which he had been Jus
tified In doing.
Keller was one of the men with Ruth
ven on the night of the riot
In Dunmore, when Special Officer
Mink wns shot. Keller received a bul
let In the leg. He loft the city Eoon
nfter the affair and was absent about
a year.
Justice of the Peace Krotzer, in the
absence of the coroner, gave permis
sion to remove Mayer's body to the
Bender home. It was taken there In
an undertaker's uncovered wagon. Tho
Justice impanneled the following Jury:
James O. Masters, Henry Koch, Alonzo
Price, P, C. Langan, Georgo Kunz nnd
A. J. Wlnebrake. The Jury will meet
In Justice of the Peace Krotzer's office
this evening.
Coroner Longstreet will go to Ben
der's house this forenoon at 10 o'clock
to hold a post mortem examination.
He Informed a Tiihune reporter Inst
night he would Ignore the Jury em
paneled by 'Squire Krotzer.
