GRUESOME WAS
A WIFE'S FIND
HUSBAND COMMITTED SUICIDE
DURING HER ABSENCE.
Entered His Bedroom to Be Con
fronted by His Dead Body Sus
pended by the Neck with a Clothes
Line from a Clothes Hook on the
Wnll Mentally Deranged by Tain
Richard Loitner, of Crown Avenue,
ruts an End to His Life.
' Her husband's dead body hanging
suspended by the neck from u clothes
lino attached to a hook in the wall of
his bed room was the gruesome sight
that met Mr. Richard Loltner, of SIS
Crown nvenuo, South Scranton, when
she forced un entrance to their apart
ments yesterday afternoon, after hav
ing vainly tried to rouso him to have
him let her in. Tho coroner's Jury
found that ho had committed suicide
while mentally deranged.
liecauso of a painful permanent disa
bility, tho result of a strain, Loltnor
could not woik steadily and his wife
went out washing to help support the
family.
Yestetday morning about 8 o'clock as
ehe was about to leave the house to
work for a neighbor, alio went to her
husband's bed room to Inquire why ho
had not risen to go to hlo work. Ho
ald he was 111 and Intended to stay In
bed. She left tho houso nnd was gone
until noon. When she returned sho
found tho door to their npartments
locked and, fulling to get a response
to her knocking, went to the apart
ments on the tlrst floor, where lived
the family of the landlord, Henry
Dcnkwortz, to Inquire If they had seen
her liUHliand go out.
Mr. Denkwortz told of having neon
him come down stairs and go out In
tho yard about S.C0 o'clock, soon after
Mrs. Loltner'a departure, nnd that,
shortly afterwards, he returned and
went to his apartments again.
THOUOHT HE WAS SLEEPING.
It was taken for granted that he
was sleeping and, not wishing to dis
turb him, Mrs. Leltner busied herself
shout tho Dcnkwortz apartments, In
tending to wait there until he woke.
She waited for over four hours, and,
not hearing him moving about up
stairs, sho began to grow alarmed, and,
taking Mrs. Denkwortz with her, as
cended to tho recond floor nnd made
a vigorous attempt to arouse him by
thumping on tha door. No answer
came from within, and, fearing for tho
worst, an entrance was forced by going
out on the porch from the upstairs
hallway and climbing through a win
dow opening on tho bed room.
It was not until Mrs. Leltner had
gotten Inside the room that sho dis
covered her husband's body. She had
looked for him In tho bed and, seeing
this empty, supposed ho had gone out
into the sitting room nnd lain down on
the couch. Happening n glance Into
a darkened corner of tho bed room
whore their clothing waa hanging on
a low of hooks, nhe was confronted
with the swollen und frightfully dis
torted features of her husband, his
bulging eyes llxed straight before him,
and his tongue protruding Its full
length. The terrlblo sight caused her
to swoon and it was an hour before
sho recovered.
Patrolman Sartor, who was doing
duty In that vicinity was summoned,
and, after waiting a reasonable timo
to hoar from the message sent the
coroner, cut down the body and placed
it on the bed.
It was necessary for Leltner to draw
up his knees to keep his feet from
touching the Moor and thereby throw
the whole weight of his body on the
clothes line which lie had wound
double about his neck and attached
to one of the clothes hooks fastened
in the wall about six feet above the
floor.
HANGING MANY HOURS.
The Indications were that he had
been hanging for many hours. It Is
supposed he got the clothes line from
tho yard when ho went out early in
tho morning, and that he soon after
wards hung himself.
Coroner Roberts arrived at 9 o'clock
and conducted an Inquest with Vic
tor Sartor, G. A. Miller, Henry Denk
wertz, Peter Zang, John Mack and
William A. Albrccht as jurors'.
Mrs. Leltner told of tho incidents of
tho day as described above and also
related some Instances to show that
for somo months past her husband has
not been of sound mind. About two
months ago, ho was at one of tho
Scranton hospitals undergoing a course
of dieting preparatory to his being
operated upon for his Infirmity. Half
an hour before the timo set for the
operation to bo porfoimed, he JumDed
through a window of the hospital nnd
mado his way homo In his night dross.
Ho could not be induced to go back
to the hospital.
His wife also told that ho would fre
quently get up out of bed and paeo
the floor moaning as if In great pain.
About a year ago, she says, during ono
of these periods of suffering ho de
clared he could stand It no longer and
would put an end to himself. He had
been drinking some of lato, but not
to any great excess.
Leltner was 45 years of ago and
when he worked, was employed as a
laborer at the Lackawanna Iron nnd
Steel company's blast furnace. Ho
worked Monday and for some timo
previous. A 16-year-old daughter and
i-year-old son survive him.
NOTHING HEARD FROM HER.
Miss Howell's Relatives Ate All at
Sea.
Tho departure from tho city of Mlsa
Jennie Howell nnd her maid and E, B.
Dean was a great surprlso to her rela
tives, most of whom know nothing
about tho move until they read tho
story In yesterdny'ts Tribune.
Nothing was heard from Miss Howell
yesterday. Somo of her relatives aro
nut inclined to believe that sho will
be married away from her home. They
are of tho opinion that sho went to
Philadelphia to consult a specialist
with referonco to the nervous trouble
with which eho Is aflllcted,

'
HIS POSITION ON
THE RIPPER BILL
Congressman William Connell Will
Work for tho Best Interests of
the City of Scranton.
A Harrisbuig dispatch In the Pitts
burg Commercial Gazetto says:
It can be potltltcly stated tliat at the present
thus C'oiiKrcssman William Council of SVranton
has not announced tils petition on the "ripper."
it can also be Mid that l.e will do lt he con
elder to be for the best intercut of Scranton.
To obtain for that city the bet clutter ixhulblo
will be his only dim.
John It. Wlllianw, pilwtc unitary to Con.
gre'inan Connell, came hero tonight a? tho rep.
rescntatho of tha Scranton statesman on the
chatter legislation. He was Instructed to line
conferences with the member of the home from
Lackawanna nnd Senator J. C. Vaushan. The lat
ter will not be hero until tomorrow. Mr. Will.
lnnu Mill then leatn uliat be thinks Scranton
want. In the way of a charter. Ho talked nllh
several of tho houio members from Scranton, nd
they told hitn that an acceptable charter Is the
first doiro of the people of the new eecond clan
city. Mr. Williams says that Mr. Council will
como here before the poao;e of the bill and
assist In looking after the interests cf Scranton.
Senator lluehlbronner, chairman cf the senate
municipal affair-i committee, says 11 ti not likely
that any hearings on chatter legislation will ba
held thli week. As the charter committee, us
well as all other committees, waa not named
until tonlfc'ht, It will be Impossible to schedule
charter arjuments before one week from tomor
row. "Allegheny councils will not meet until Wed
nesday niRlit," said Chairman jfuehlbroiiner,
"and it will then be too late to airanRO a hear.
Intr this neck. Our people want to appear be
fore the committee with tho f-tranton citizens,
and it hoems that they cannot fix on n day this
week. 1 havo not a jet received any requests
for hnrinps from any source, and do not know
when Senator riinn dcMres to make his appear
nnce. All will be filveu a full and fair hearing,
"you may say that tnc d'lay Is flinply bassd
upon a desire to show all courtesy to the oppo
nents of the- measure. It Is stronger today tlnn
when It was intioduccd, and will be stronger still
when both sides hae been heard. Its friends
lune nothing to lose by analysis and discussion,
for the more It is studied the more satisfactory
it will appear to those intcrcfted. As to Its
eventual passage and nppioval by the (.oscrnor, I
hae not tho slightest doubt. Details may bo
changed, but tho principle, and the omtcr
clause, which will place It In operation, will not
be disturbed."
HEMBERGER QUARTETTE.
Will Give a Chamber Concert in
Guernsey Hall.
Tho nemberger String quartette will
give tho first Chamber concert of this
season nt Guernsey hall tomorrow
evening. Since tho burning of the
Young Men's Christian association au
ditorium, these concerts have been al
most wholly abandoned.
Tho announcement that a series ot
the Chamber concerts will be given
comes as a most pjeasant anticipation.
The diagram of seats is now open at
Guernsey s, and a select and cultured
audience is assured at this Chamber
concert.

In lev of tho fact that there have been nuny

feel wo have been very unjustly treated by both

When a brainy man like David Bel
asco, the brilliant nduptcr of "Zaza,"
the teacher of Its leading actiess, Mrs.
Leslie Carter; the author ot heahon
after season's most successful plays,
"The Heart of Maryland," "Hearts ot
Oak," etc.: the hardest worked and
the ablest stage director In aVmcrlca
When such a wide awake manager
of his own and other people's affairs
deliberately turns to Paine's celery
compound as the ono safe and sure ln
vlgorator for his overworked nervous
system, only willful prejudices can hes
ltato to give full ctodlt to this great
est of all remedies.
"I havo used Paine's celery com
pound," says Mr. Belasco, "and found
It of great benellt after hard work."
Mr. (Belasco has managed more ac
tors who have become famous and tak
en charge of moro big theaters from
San Francisco to New York than any
living person. He has seen time and
time again members of "the profes
sion" who were "run down" and on tho
verge of nervous exhaustion, gain In
strength and vigor as soon as they be
gan the use of Paine's celery com
pound. Theatrical people, as a body,
hae learned that the best way to keep
their nervous systems strong and cap
able of doing the hard work demanded
of them is to use Paine's celery com
pound whenever they feel tired out,
ONE MAN KILLED
AND THREE INJURED
Fatal Bear End Collision on the
Lackawanna Itoad at Elmhurst.
Cause of the Accident.
One man was killed and thiee in
jured unci an engine and live cars
badly wrecked by a rear-end collision
on the Lackawanna road at Elmhurst
early yesterday morning.
Henry J. Palf, flagman, a married
man, residing at 1300 Academy street,
West Scranton, was the one to suffer
fatal injuries, deorge AVert, a brake
man, had his ankle sprained; T. V.
Glynn, brakemau, sustained outs and
bruises of a painful though not serious
nature, and James Cawley, llrcman,
was badly bruised about the legs and
body.
Tho lnjuied men wore riding on the
"pusher" of a heavy summit coal train,
which, while stopping for water at
Troop's tank, was run Into by a lighter
"wild-cat," drawn by ono engine.
It was 3.13 o'clock in tho morning
when the collision occurred, nnd on
account of the darkness, the engineer
of tho second train did not eo tho first
ttaln until ho was so close that It was
impossible for him to avei t a collision.
The company has not j'ot made an
investigation, but the supposition Is
that the first train did not send back
a flag a sulllclcnt distance, if at all,
Engine 711, which was pushing the
summit train, was thrown from tho
tuack and badly wrecked. The front
end of Knglno S31, which Is ono of tho
biggest locomotives on the road, waa
also damaged. The caboose and tho
last live cars of tho Jlrst train were
demolished. Those of tho trainmen
who escaped Injury did so by Jumping
before tho shock came.
Engineer Sanford was on tho wild
cat. Engineers Napo Dunbar and
Swartz munnod tho three engines of
tho summit train. Conductor E. E.
Duffy was In charge of tho summit
train, and Frank McDownell was con
ductor of tho wild-cat. t
Traffic was blocked until S.30 o'clock
yesterday moiulng.
DR. PIERSONCOMING.

Palno's celery compound has saved
thousands of people from nervous pros
tration. It has mado thousands well.
It has cured where everything else has
failed.
In cases ot severe neuralgia, rheu
matism, heart palpitation, dyspepsia,
and nervous feebleness, Paine's celery
compound Is the only remedy that goe3
to tho root of the trouble. It fortifies
the weakened system against these
disorders and builds up a strong,
healthy body.
There Is no community In America
without some perfectly attested cute
of liver or kidney disease, chronic con
stipation, salt i heum, plaguing eczema,
or general poor health by the use of
Paine's celery compound. Impaired
strength and unstrung nerves, made
known by numbness of the limbs, nei
vousness.and worse thun all, by a mel
ancholy state of mind all these weak
nesses become things ot the past after
taking Paine's celery compound.
Wherever men and women wotk and
strive Falno's celery compound Is re
garded as a godsend. In shop, ofilco,
factory, and among the weary wives
and mothers who bear tho burden of
domestic work, Paint's celery com
pound Is prolonging life by strength
ening every bodily function and driv
ing out disease.
It is a peerless lemedy In all cases
of enfeebled nerves and foul blood.

ORDERS StSHEDBY
CITY TREASURER
Last Clutpter in tho Case of Saul
and Dyer Against the City
of Scranton.
An end has come at last to the S.ml
and Dyer case. By direction of the
maj'or'a attorney, Geoige M. Watson,
a warrant for the ex-patrolmen's pay
was j'esterday diawn by City Clerk
Lavelle, and after being countersigned
by the city con'rolle, wu.s cashed by
the city treasurer.
Each of the tw: cx-ra.iolmeu re
ceived $1S8, the amount ot Judgment
they recovered for the two and onn-
half months that Intervened botween
the time the mayor dismissed them
and select council gave lis concunence
in the dismissals.
The cases of Lieutenant Michael
Spellman and Pattolmau I. P. Jones
are similar In overy respect to those
of Saul and Dyer, except that select
council still withholds Jt3 concurrence
in the dismissal of the latter.
Spellman and Jones wete dlsmlsae'.'
May 17, 1900. They contlnu to r;r'?l
for duty every day and ara claiming
pay right along the same as If they
wero assigned xn duty. Tiny secured a
Judgment for pay for the first six
months they were tinder dismissal, but
the mayor appealed tho case to tho
superior court. Tho appeal is to be
heard next January. Tho city nlteady
owes them nearly 51,300, and should the
same conditions continue for another
year, the city will be called upon to
face a bill of $3,200 for which It never
got anything except a lot of aggravat
ing and cxpenslvo litigation.
