Ernardo Ceribuoni, 38 years old,
who came to this country two years
ago from the north of Italy, a fine,
splendid, healthy type of Italian, was
taken by a friend yesterday to the
Pennsylvania Hospital at Eighth and
Spruce streets, Philadelphia, in all
probability to die.
For Ernardo is suffering from a
peculiar affection of the glands of the
neck and for seven weeks has lain In
the county almshouse while life has
slowly retreated from the twisted and
tcrtured body.
The condition of the man was
brought to the attention of Joseph
J. Parialo, a fruit dealer, of 854 South
Cameron street. Charlie Philli pell I.
who lives at 3 7 South Summit street,
happened to speak about it one day to
Joseph Parial and the latter, while no
relative of the man, took it on himself
to pay a visit to the almshouse.
Conditions Deplorable
The condition in which he beheld
his suffering fellow-countryman, he
says, moved him first to pity and then
ot anger. So provoked was he at the
conditions that he to-day swore to an
affidavit before Alderman Murray, in
which he tells the story of his country
man's wrongs. Ernardo, who for all
his suffering is no whimperer, but is
looking into the face of death bravely,
told him that he was ill fed at the
almshouse.
It is a torture for him to eat solid
foods, but when he asked for soft
boiled eggs he said he was denied
them. And tie could get no milk, he
said. What was worse, vermin crawled
over him and hit him till he bled. And
in this hell he lay until rescued by his
friend in need. Joe Parialo.
After being at the almshouse seven
weeks he was taken to the hospital,
and after a week there was sent hack
to the almshouse. He first was brought
in from I«ykens. where he worked in
a mine and got sick drinking foul
water, it is said.
Treated Him "Ijlkc a Dog"
Ceribuoni was taken to the station
yesterday afternoon In an auto and
put into a wheel chair and thence
taken to the trainshed.
"How are you?" asked a friend.
"T atn sick—ver' sick."
"Well, you'll be taken care of now.

COROITION STONE
Dim BOMB
"Wild Women" Put Dynamite
Beneath Relic Dating Back
in History to Year 850
By Associated Press
I.ondon, June 11. —An attempt to
blow up the Coronation chair which
has been in Westminster Abbey since
1290 was made this evening. The
outrage is attributed by the authori
ties to militant suffragettes.
The chair, generally called St. Ed
ward's chair, out of respect to Edward
the Confessor, near whose shrine it
stands, was made by order of King
Edward I to hold the coronation stone
or "stone of destiny" on which the
ancient Scottish kings used to sit when
they were crowned. It was captured
by Edward I from the Scotch. The
damage caused to the chair by to-day's
explosion was slight.
The history of the stone so far as it
is known goes back to the year 850,
when it was placed in the Abbey of
Scone, Perthshire, by King Kenneth.
It is not known whence it originally
came, but a legend connected with it
says it is the identical stone upon
which the Biblical patriarch Jacob
laid his head when he had the vision
of the angels descending the ladder
that reached to heaven. It is known
that the Kings of Scotland tor many
centuries weer crowdned while seated
on it.
The police quickly took possession of
the Abbey affcer the outrage.
The explosion occurred while Regi
nald McGenna was talking on the suf
fragette question in the House of Com
mons. The detonation was plainly
heard in the Parliament House and
members of the commons and the
peers flocked out into Parliament
Square to ascertain what had hap
pened.

ing the month of June. This is due.
Vice-president Nelson announced, to

figure the saving to the road at $12,-

furlough was decided on as a better
procedure than to cut down the num
ber of employes.

Under the striking caption, "Dr.

in behalf of the Republican nominee,
urging his election at the polls in No

The Public Ledger during the pri

toward Vance C. McCormick and had
supported his candidacy for the Dem

opposed to that of Michael J. Ryan.
But evidently the Ledger, which le<J
the newspapers of the State in criti
cism of the $33,000 which McCormick
spent out of his own pocket to procure
the nomination, could not stand the
excessive and uncalled for use of
money as practiced by McCormick in
