SUSPECTS ARRESTED.
Tw Son i of Baaay Italy ia Jail Gkargid
Wiia tk B.oody Tragedy at Windbtr.
F&13X HAPSLE'JS STILL AT AE0F.
Antonio Medina and James Trunzi.
two Italians, were committed to jsil
Frid i.' rooming, charge! with twiug ac
cessories to the Kiler uigbt tragedy at
Wind ber, wbeu five uien were slushed to
death In a drunken orgie held in a
brothel oouducted by a dissolute French
woman, named Steux, wbo is also in jail
where she is being held as a witness.
'Squire Sell, tbe Windber Justice of
xne rettoe, wbo baa been vigilant in run
ning thc.audrderers to earth, was in
Somerset Monday. He expressed the
opinion that the men now in jail are not
the guilty parties, although many cir
cumstance which have come to the
knowledge of theoffioersof the law point
to them as being able to give information
which would lead to the arrest of tbe
murderers, if tbey can be iuduced to tell
all tbey know about tbe bloody affray.
Since their incarceration Medina and
Trunzo have been kept separated and
neither of them baa been permitted to
hold any conversation with the Steux
woman.
Medina was captured in an old house
between Lilly and Cresson, Cambria
county, and Trunzo was apprehended on
a train aa It arrived at Lilly last Thurs
day morning, by two officers from Wind
ber who were In pursuit of Medina.
From the evidence adduced at the Cor
oner' inquest it was made to appear
tbat Medina was in the French woman'
shanty on tbe njgbt of the murder, in
facta witness named Roll, who is being
held in jail as a witness, testified that
Medina had admitted to him that he was
present In the shanty of Mrs. Steux and
that be waa going to leave Windber and
go to the bouse of a feilow countryman
near Lilly. The Windber officers, Incited
to extraordinary efforts in the hope of
securing the 'X reward offered by the
residents of that.placi for the apprehen
sion of tbe murderers, became convinced
that the men wauled were not far from
Windber, and when they learned that an
Italian woman waa carrying food Into
the mountain they became "convinced
that she waa furniahing it to the men
suspected of the awful crime. Their
suspicion were communlcatod to Sheriff
Saylor, who visited Windber last Tues
day night, and with a hastily organized
posse raided a number of Italian shacks.
This of course aroused tbe whole Italian
population and when the Sheriff posse
finally located the bidiug place of tbe
alleged criminals the gauio had flown.
The Italian woman no doubt bid com
municated the news of the Sheriff
presence (o tbe men. Medina went to
the house of bis fellow couutrymau near
Lilly as be had to'd Roll he would do,
and he was captured there by Constable
Deitrich. Medina was very much agitat
ed when tbe officer placed him under
arrest. Deitrich telephoned to Windber
that be had captured Medina and Deputy
Constable Scott, of that place, left imme
diately afterwards to take charge of him.
When the train on which Scott was riding
reached South Fork he recognized Trun
zo, who was standing on tbe fetation plat
form. Trunzo entered the car and before
the train reached Lilly Scott placed him
under arrest.
The prisoners weie taken to Johns
town Thursday afternoon, where they
were kept In the city lockup until the
following morning, when they we.e
brought here and lodged iu jail.
The prisoners are both young men.
Medina claims to be unable to speak
English, but Trunzo is capable of mak
ing himself understood. Both men had
been around Windber for some time
prior to the tragedy, but it is reported
tbat netther of tbein bad steady employ -
meuL
L'p to this time no clue has been learn
ed of Frank Napoleon, tbe Italian, wbo
is alleged to have used his stiletto with
such deadly effect.
It is reported that a Windber officer has
secured a blood-stained apron which will
figure in the oomiug trial. The apron Is
alleged to have been worn by the Steux
woman. She was to have become the
wife of Napoleon and it is reported that
the officers have the marriage license,
which waa secured from the Register
and Recorder of Cambria county in their
possession.
There was great excitement in Wind
ber following tbe arrival of the news that
tbe two suspects bad been captured, and
at the instance of Superintendent Cun
ningham, of tbe Berwind-Wbite Com
pany, the prisoner were not taken to
that place, but were brought direct here
and placed in JaiL
A Sick Man' Project.
A rich man's statement that be intends

SHALL THE SEWF.S SYSTEM BE
EXTENDED 1
If tk Question Demanding tbe Thought
ful Consideration of Evtry Besident
of Somerset.
Work on the system of public sewers
authorize d by a vote of the electors of
this borough, at an election held eighteen
months ago, wbeu the town council was
authorized to issue bonds to tbe amount
of 30,000 for that purpose, was begun ten
days ego under the auperintendency of
Mr. James H. Haring, Borough Kngineer.
The contractors Ott Bros., Pittsburgh,
have sublet their contract to Mr. Simon
Harold, of Beaver Falls, Pa., one of the
best known contractors in Western Penn
sylvania. Ground was broken on the
Southend of East Street, where a gang
of twenty-five laborers has been engaged
at trenching for ten days past. The work
has been retarded owing to the fact that tbe
council at the mt regular meeting by a
unanimous vote decided to include cellar
drainage in the system, which necessitat
ed securing several miles of additional
shale pipe. Pipe fr cellar drainage
should be received this week when the
contractor will push ahead as rapidly as
possible in order to comply with tbe
terms of bis contract, which require
him to complete the job at the expiration
or 100 days after April 15, 1900.
Now that cellar drainage has been pro
vided for, every ol jection that has been
urged against the sewer system adopted
by council has been removed, and the
members of council feel satisfied that
when the work ia completed Soinerxe:
will have one of the best sanitary sys
tern for the disposal of sewage aud
cellar water that expert skill is capa
ble of devising.
It is a matter of sincere legret that the
electors did not vote a larger appropria
tion for the purpose of constructing sew
ers, as the fund at the dixposal of coun
cil is insufficient to meet present require
ments. When tbe first estimate of the
probable cost of the syfte.-n was made,
tbe parties responsible for the estimate
did not foresee tbat the outlet of the pro
posed system would be removed almost
one mile from the South borough line, or
that tbe c-wt of cocstructiug the outlet
would involve an expense of fully one
third of the total appropriation asked for.
Such is the case, however, and council is
powerless to provide sewer accommoda
tions for any of the streets running East
a ul West with the exception of Main
street with the funds now available.
Tbe situation is one requiring the earn
eat attention and thoughtful considera
tion of every resident of Somerset. In
case of the voters authorizing an addi
tional expeuJiturel of, say $H,000, connc 1
will be in a position to increase tbe work
contracted for with Ott Bros., and to have
ewers laid on four or five. If not six of
the streets running East and West
throughout their entire length, thus giv
ing immediate sewer privileges to 95 per
cent, of the improved properties and to
an equal proportion of the residents of
tbe borough.
The work can be carried forward to
better advantage now than at any time in
the future, owing to tbe contracts now
in force not only with the eon tractor, but
with the capable and efficient engineer
wb.i has charge of the work.
Residents living along the streets
traversed by the sewers now beiug laid
will assuredly not wish to deprive their
loss fortunately located neighbors of en
joying similar advantages, while those
whose properties are at present denied
the privilege of connecting np with the
ewers should be eager to avail them
selves of that privilege, especially when
the additional lax would not exceed more
than one mill.
