She died several hours later at the hospital. Saleruo is the Italian wiio has been oreatiug considerable disturbance ou the South Side, receutly aud the step daughter whom he murdered this moruing, is the same step-daughter who oliarged liim with a serious crime aud whom he, in attempting to save himself, caused to be arrested, but she was discharged by the Alderman. About three weeks ago Mrs. Saler no aud her daughter left Jim because of the trouble and took up their resi dence on Cedar avenue. Mrs. Saleruo and her daughter, Eli zabeth Uarney, aged 14 years, occupied a room ou the second floor of the west side of tiie house. The mother slept on an iron bed on the east side of the room.; the daughter on a mattress on the floor ou the west side. A window situated just at the head of the daugh ter's bed is supposed to have furnish ed the means of entrauoe to Saleruo, although there was no visible means of his reaching It and it is possible that he may have entered at the same window from wliioli he esoaped. About 1:30 o'clock this moruing the Bcreams of the daughter awakened the mother, aud she saw Saleruo, razor and revolver iu baud, standing in tlio room aud tho daughter's throat cut al most from ear to ear. Tiie frenzied mother grapplod with Saleruo and wrenched the revolver from him, at the same time shouting to the other inmates of the house Hearing a call in a man's tones, Sal erno rushed into the hall aud esoaped by way of a window to the north side of the house, leaping dowu over a shed. .The cries alarmed not only the in mates of the house, but the entire neighborhood, aud men with revolv ers in hand wero soon searching the neighborhood, but no trace of the mnrderer could be found. Iu tho meaiitinie the unfortunate victim of the Italian's razor, with an ugly gash iu her throat, was bleeding, profusely, iu the room iu which she was cut. Such efforts as con id bo made to stop the How of blood were made, but without avail. Messengers rußhed for m u dical aud surgical assistance,but were met with the direction "Take her to tho hospit al," aud so,about 2:30 o'clock she was taken iu an ambulance to that in.titu tiou where she expired at 5 o'clock The room which the girl occupied and the hall iu front of her door re sembled a slaughter pen. Gieat pools of blood wero everywhere, aud the cloths with which it was sought to stop the flow of blood horo ovideuce of the severity of the cut. Jim Saleruo is of Italian descent aud is about 40 years of ago. He is about Hve feet live itiahes iu height, weighs about 140 pouuds, has heavy brown moustaohe aud dark hair. The Knocker. In the ooining of words none is more used or appropriate than tho expressive term "knocker" as applied to the per son whose pessimism leads liim to orltioiza unreasonably men and things. He exists everywhere and his tongue is a constant menace to the peace of the community. No aause is too sa cred to escape his hammer. Knocking is his trade. He mistakes it for wit and sarcasm. Public im provements iu his opinion are design ed solely for graft; no one can possi bly favor such uiovemouts with disin terested motives. Civic pride is a joke, publio spirit auother name for selfish ness. Thus the knooker reasons, aud he acts aud talks accordingly. He has no faitli iu anybody or anythiug. His views are always distorted aud his baud is agaiußt all men. His voice is loud aud penetrating ami because sensible men decline to notice him he agiues his arguments are unanswer able. Rut it's fortuuate that the knocker so soon fiuds his level. He becomes a public nuisance aud is avoided of all meu. He kuooks in vaiu.

Aooording to a statemen just ishlimi by an official of the Post olllce Department,during the pant year uearly 49.000 applications for the es tablishment of rural services were re ceived Up to the oloae of the fiscal year 12,000 of these had beeu rejected, mostly because the proposed routes fell below Iho standard in the matter of probable patronage, and 7,492 were granted So there is qaite a number of applications still to be passed upon even if the demand does fall off. Rut the demand is not going to fall off for some time to oome. Ou July 1 there were iu actual ser vice 33,058 rural routes and many of these are in suoli fine shape that the department is preparing to have the bun s numbered so that mail may be addressed to box numbers as is now permitted in the case of post office boxes. This move in itself may not be a very important improvement, but it is evldenae that the authorities are bent on making the service as nearly perfeot as maybe, and a? such it will be welcomed. These thirty odd thousand scouts of ■ lie postal service and incidentally of progress and enlightenment, cost the taxpayers a pretty penny each year, but they are worth all they cost and more too. The Postoffloe Department was recently iu receipt of a communication from Georgia which ran to the effect that the telephone and the rural de livery of mail have increased land values from <lO to SIOO per aero. Georgia is no exception ; for all over the laud the'farmer is beginning to feel the beueflts that accrue from his being brought into closer touch with the woilil. It would be vastly better for all concerned if Uncle Sam were to devote more money aud attention to development along this line and less to building battleships. No Demand for Ferry Boat. The ferry boat was offered at public auction at the Court House Saturday afternoon, as advertised. A sale was not offected, however, as no biiis wero received.

Summer Tours—Niagara Won derland. For generations Niagara Falls has been the great objeotive point for tourists in the United States, and de spite the prophecies of many savants, it is likely to continue so for many more generations. Iu early years a Niagara Falls trip was very expensive, the property own ers. guides, cabmen, etc., vying as to who oould quickest draiu the pockets of the tourists. But this is all chang ed, the state of New York on the one side and the Province of Ontario on the other having reserved for Public Parks the best situations adjacent to the Falls, with free admissions and a low rate of charge for licensed car riages being rigidly enforced by the Park Commission. One special expensive trip was the view of the rapids, but now the Nia gara Gorge Railroad Co. running a line of trolley cars on each side of the Kapids, affords a fine view of the whirlpool, otc. One special poiut of Niagara Falls is that it does not fall ou the senses af ter oue view, on the contrary, new beauties are discernable as often as visited and many persons assert that the best of its beauty is not seen un til the third or fourth visit. In contradistinction to the old sys tem of expensive, wearisome travel ling necessary to visit Niagara in for mer years, the Ten Day Ten Dollar tours bv the Reading-Lehigh Valley route are very noticeable. Special trains leave Reading Terminal 8:30 a. m. July 18. August 3 aud 19, Septem ber 2 and 14 aud October 5, aud after a daylight run through the scenic Le high and Wyoming Valleys, arrives at Niagara Falls in the early evening.

Before oue murder oaue has come to trial, another arises to blot the reoord of Northumberland county. Like most of its predecessors, it oocnrred in the ooal regions. The scene and oiroumstanaes are so familiar that they would be weari some, were it uot for the terrible na ture of the orime. The tragedy opens with a bar-room brawl. William Evans, the viotim,. was iu the saloon of Joe Raskoski, at Brady, trying to arrange a 15-roundi boxing matoh between himself audi some foreiguer. This idea ot a fight appealed to the bibblers present, andl they put it iuto |immediate execution. Soon tables were overtnrued, chairs; smashed aud glasses flew in all direc tions. A beer bottle strnok Evans on the lioad and lie immediately made Ilia exit. He started down tiie street, butt it was a case of oat of the frying pani iuto the fire. As lie passed the house' of Anthony Ruminoski, that worthy stepped forward and deliberately put a. 88 calibre shot Into Evans' intestines. Evans was taken to the Miners' Hos pital at Fountain Springs, and seemw at preseut to be dying. Kuminoski was captured aud taken* before Justioe of the Peace Rowe, or Shamokii), aud held for uourt. The oause of the crime is an old! feud between gangs of Evans' and of Rumiuoaki. On Saturday afternoon the two men at a base ball game aud rooted for op posite sides. Rominoski put up a remarkable de tense that it was uot he, but Evans' hrother who shot Evans. But the evi dence of theOzar's former subjeut wan uot corroborated, and even contradict ed by Evans, himself. The same fal lows may do double sorvioo next win ter. Leg Fractured.
