To go through lite with the bright world darkness, with the glory of mountain and valley, tho wonder of flower and leaf a blank, and more than all to see not the dear faces of our loved ones is too woeful a prospect to even dream of without a shudder. Yet perhaps one of the hap piest persons In this city is a blind rrip.n who goes to anil fro with Jaunty grace, with a smile on his lips that Is beautiful for others to boo and a contented almost elated Eleam on his face that would seem to Indicate that his own thoughts are cheery, pure and lovable companions. The blind man la Professor Johnston, well known as a, musician whose abil ity as a pianist Is much appreciated In a large circle. A stranger would not believe his eyes to be sightless so briskly he walks and with iuch an assured Mep. He knows almost every street in the city and has a strange sKtli fense that warns him of danger, that gives him a realization of the open street or tho closely built wall, and which tells him whether a build ing if high or low. Not long ago Professor Johnston was returning from Hyde Park and near the Delaware, Lackawanna and West ern tracks ho became conscious of tho presence of a person standing In his way. As ho approached the man ad dressed him saying that he was blind, had lost his bearings and did not know where to go. Professor Johnston ask ed his Intended destination and then said: "Oh, I know where that is; I'll take you over, but you don't want to stand 'round here, you'll get killed;" so ho led the aftllcted one across and over to Lackawanna avenue, rang tho bell at the house designated by his companion and then went on his way with his accustomed happy smile. Tho other man did not havo tho remotest idea that It was a case of the blind leading the blind.

J. Wlnebrako Course Taken by tho Four Bullets That Were Tired by Keller Testimony of Several Eye Witnesses to Sun day's Tragedy Was Heard by the Members of the Jury. A hearing and a coroner's Inquest In the Little England murder case were set for last night at tho ofllce of 'Squire Krotzer In Dunmore, but the hearing was not held, because thero was no necessity for It, Keller having been formally committed Sunday evening. Special Officer James McGrall, of Dun more, was responsible for bringing As sistant District Attorney W. Gnylord Thomas up there on n wild goose chase. The coroner's Jury met and placed tho responsibility of Slayer's, death upon Keller. Keller surrendered to Chief of Police Dlerks Sunday and was placed in tho borough prison. At his own request he was given a hearing before 'Squire Krotzer nt 8 o'clock that evening, at which he admitted having killed Mayer. Tho 's'tulre made out a com mitment, charging him with murder nnd he was taken to the county Jail. McGrall waited upon Mr. Thomas yesterday nnd Informed him that Kel ler was not committed upon a warrant, that he was moved from the Dunmore lockup to Jail at his own request on the plea that he was In danger. Jlr. Thomas mnde nrrancements for the hearing at 7.30 o'clock and was to meet McGrall there with tho prisoner. Mr. Thomas was there on time. Along to ward 7.45 a cab rolled ud to the door and McGrall and Constnblo Tim Jones alighted, but no prisoner. Mr. Jones Is acting In County Detective Lcyshon's stead while he Is on a vncatlon. Mr. Jones was Instructed to be nt tho Jail at 7.30 by McGrall. WOULD NOT GIVF3 HIM UP. Tlin jallkeepers would not give Kel ler In their charge without an order of court, as ho was committed on a charge of murder, the paper being a regular committment lust us If he had a for mnl hearing. They did not know hut that the prisoner was properly given into their charge, nnd consequently McGrall had to depart. Mr. Thomas' Inquiries from 'Squire Krotzer disclosed the fact that Keller had a regular formal preliminary hear ing and was properly committed to tho county Jail to nwn.lt the action of tho grand Jury. His own ndmlsslon was testimony in abundance to send him to Jajl. Coroner Longstrect arrived nbout 8.30 and examined three witnesses, a man who saw the shooting, another who heard tho shots, and tho olllcer to whom the murderer surrendered. The coroner, assisted by Dr. A. J. Wlnc htnke, held a post-mortem examina tion at 10 o'clock In the forenoon. Ho found two wounds that would havo caused death. One bullet struck Slayer's left breast between tho second and third rib nnd deflected downward, passing close to the heart and severing the main blood vessels, going through the right lung and out on tho right side of the body under the arm pit, nnd lodging In the bleeps muscle of tho arm. It was picked out of tho arm. Tho second fatal bullet entered at the point of the left Jaw nnd took a downward course through the larynx or voice box, lodging against the spinal column nt tho huso of the skull. A third bullet struck the left arm be tween the elbow and shoulder and fractured the humerus or bone of the arm. going out on the other side and Into tho left side nbout two Inches from the point at which tho other bul let penetrated. It lodged under tho skin, and flattened like n nickel against a rib. The fourth bullet went through the left arm between the ulna nnd the radius bones, two Inches above the wrist and flew off Into space. In all thero were nine bullet wounds on the body. TESTIMONY HEARD. J. E. Schulcr, a butcher living nt tho corner of Dudley and Blakely streets was the first witness. He was out for a walk and was going along the Erie and Wyoming tracks. He heard a loud conversation between two men on tho tracks not far from himself and stop ped, expecting to see a scrap. They walked only a short distance when one of them whipped out a revolver and tired at tho other. Mr. Schuler thought after tho first shot that the man shot at was stoop ing down to pick up a stone, but ho stooped over until ho fell and rolled down the bank. Ho went over to as sist him and tho man with the revolver Bald: "Keep your hands off that corpse or you'll get the same dose he got." The witness was not acquainted with either of the men. He described the man who used the weapon as having a light suit and saw him run up the hill afterward toward Little England. William Kohler was a witness. He was In his back yard when Mr. Schuler came along. Mr. Schuler called his at tention to loud words between two men on tho Erie nnd Wyoming Valley railroad tracks. Ho went around the house before the shooting and heard tho shots but did not see the men at the time. He went down to the scene and saw tho man dead and saw a man going up the path toward Little Eng land. Somo children told him that was the man who did It. They pointed af ter him. Officer Fred Beaver testified that he was on his beat Sunday ufternoon go Ing along Chestnut street when he was accosted by a special officer whom he did not know who told him there was a shooting affair In Little England. The special said the man who did It was then on his way down to the borough building to give himself up, OFFICER MET KELLER. Tho witness turned back, accompan ied by his Informant and they walked down to Blakely street and along that thoroughfare towurd tho building. Near Potter street he met Keller and his father coming toward them and accosted them In this style: "Joe, 1 hear you got In trouble." "Yes, I guess so," was tho answer. "Is the man dead?" asked the of ficer. "I don't know whether ho Is or not; I fired four shots." As he said the last sentence he took a belt from around his waist and hand ed It to the ofllcer. There was a re volver caso attached to It, and within tho case was the revolver. The Jury found the following verdict: 1 "We And that Peter Mayer came to his death from pistol wounds inflicted by tho hands of Joseph Keller." ONE WIFE WANTED. German Woman, Not Over 40 Years of Ago, Preferred. The Associated Charities bids fair to continue Its reputation ns a matri monii agency. The ngent has re ceived many applications for wives or husbands since the organization went Into existence. Yesterday she tecclved another.

"We would get used to n big family," said Erwelder. "If her children anc" my children fought our children, It would be a family affair which mo and her would settle for the best Interests of all concerned." The Associated Charities agent agreed, under these circumstances, to help Erwelder In his quest. Erwelder prefers a German woman. He might accept a candidate of somo other nationality.

He Was Committed to the County Jail by Justice of the Peace Cannon, of Jessup. A man supposed to be Joseph Kolar, the murderer of Michael Kadzlna at Jessup on Sunday evening, July 10, 1896, was arrested late Sundny night In Olyphant by Constable William Da vis and brought to the county Jail yes terday morning. Tho men denies that he Is Kolar nnd snys his name Is George Polak. They look alike In some respects, though tho prisoner Is 25 years old, and Kolnr Is said to be 33. Kadzlna was a brother of Kolar's wife. A crowd had been drinking In the lntter's house Sunday afternoon and evening, nnd they were noisy and quarrelsome. A brawl broke out nbout about 8.30 nnd an nx was used on Kad zlna's head, splitting his skull four in ches above the right ear. He died four days later. The date of his death was July 23, 1&06. Kolar escaped. The officers worked on the cose three or four weeks, but, getting no track of him, the chase was abandoned, and practically nothing was heard of him or his whereabouts until Constable Davis made tho arrest Sunday night. The prisoner was taken before Jus tice of tho Peace Cannon, of Jessup, nnd committed to jail to await the ac tion of the grand Jury. Steps will be taken by his friends today, or soon, to have him released on habeas corpus proceedings. Ho claims to have any number of witnesses that for the past two years he has lived on Hill street, Jessup, and has boarded with his brother-in-law Michael Polaskl. Hotclkeeper Michael Hlznny, of Jes sup, said last evening that he will take tho case In hand and make an effort to free the prisoner. Ho said he has known the man ever since he came to the country.

Waltz Jle Again" Is out again in all his glory with a brand new company, the best of his remark able career which he has allied with a crack organization recruited by that king of minstrel managers, W. S. Cleveland, whose name has ensured crowded houses at a minstrel show for a dozen years and he Is still a young man. The minstrels made money fighting each other and they added to the gay ety of the nation, but they have de termined that there Is more fun nnd a better entertainment possible with a show made up of the two organizations playing together without, however, los ing Individuality. They parade separ ately with different bands as of yore, but on the stage they Join In rollicking rivalry that taken altogether makes up a mlnstiel entertainment that marks tho hlch-watcr mark of this truly American form of amusement. George and William set an amazing high mnrk for themselves, but they have gone beyond It. Billy Emerson, whose name is synonymous with a rat tling good time, Is with them, nnd what a combination it Is!

QUICK MAKES AGAINST HIM. In Evldonco of tho Fact That the Club Landed Quick Displays n Lump Behind tho Loft Ear That Is as Largo os n, Gooso Egg Failure on the Part of Cadden to Pay His Men Semi-Monthly Caused the Trouble Names of tho Men Who Refusod to Work. Failure on the part of Contractor XL A. Cadden, of 1123 Luzerne street, to observe the provisions of the semi monthly pay law and a recent agree ment between carpenters and contrac tois with reference to a semi-monthly pay caused a strike yestordav morn ing nt a building on North Washington nvenue, which Mr. Cadden had the contract for constructing. The men who quit work were James Wlpplsh, James Paul, James Evans, William Sumbrum, William Everett and L. B. Quick. They nllege that thoy should have received their two weeks' pay a week ago last Saturday but when It was not forthcoming concluded to give tho contractor a weeks grace or "standing time" as It Is usually called. Last Saturday contrary to expecta tions tho ghost did not walk and yes terday morning the men held a confer ence after they got around and us a result refused to go to work until paid. When Contractor Cadden arrived on tho scene soon after he was Informed of tho action of the men and upon their refusal to go to work as he directed thoy were discharged. The men allege yiat ho said he would not pay them un til Aug. 15. Later In the day Contractor Cadden put two other men at work on tho building nnd ns soon as the strikers heard of this they proceeded to Induce tho men to quit. One saw tho force of tho argument and stopped. Tho other continued to work and was promptly hustled out of the building. Last night L. B. Quick, ns the repre sentative of the strikers went to Cad den's residence to ascertain how soon their money would be forthcoming. Quick avers that no sooner had Cad den opened the door of his residence In response to tho knock than Cadden hit him behind the left ear with a small club. Whether this statement is true or not will probably be shown later. At all events Quick returned from Cadden's home with a lump behind his left ear as large ns a gooso egg. Ho straightway went before Alder man John and had a warrant Issued for Cadden's arrest on a charge of ns sault and battery. After n hearing ball was required In tho sum of $300 Which was furnished. Cndden says he will have Quick ar rested for making throats. MONEY FROM SOLDIERS. Plans Perfected for Receiving It in This City.
