GIRL MURDERED I
BY STEP-FATHER
WILLI A MSPORT, July 215.-Jim
Salerno, who is already under SI,OOO
bail to außwei to several charges of a
serious nature at tlio next term of
oonrt, added auother crime, still more
serious, at an early hour this moruiug
when lie out his step-daughter's
throat. 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.

FARMERS ARB
BEINQBENEFITED
Great in the rural free delivery Her
vice. Rut it is not as great an it is go
ing to be. 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.
POSSE SEARCHING
FOR A MURDERER
Jersey Justice Will be Quickly
Heted Out—Farmers Are Very
Much Angered.
PLAINFIELD.N. J.. July 36-With
guns and revolvers, oocked and prim
ed, a posse of two score or more men.
consisting of angry and determined
farmers, policemen and county dotec
tives, began a close iu on Dismal
swamp, between South Plainfield and
Newmarket at dawn today in pursuit,
of Ciiailes Long tlio giant uegro mur
derer, whom they have surroundud.
If the man is caught Jersey justice
will not be quick enough to mete out
his deserts to him for the mob spirit
has taken possession of these farmers
aud they are beut ou quick veugcatice.
Theu, too, a reward of $250 has boon
offered for the slayer dead or alive.
All through the night these farmers
with a scattering polioe, formed aoir
ole about the swamp. Now and then
the towering form of the uegro appear
ed iu the gloom as he ventured close
to the tine of watchers aud at such
times bullets went flying about the
head of the fugitive as lie dived deep
into the swamp aud hid himself iu the
tall marsh grass.
Long is wanted for the murder of
Matthew Cunningham, whom he shot
iu a lit of jealousy,because he suspect
ed that Cunningham was attentive to
a woman of whom he was enamor
ed. After blowing off Cunningham's
head with a shot gun, Long escaped.
The crime was oommitted iu Trenton
on Monday last.
The farmers and police began sur
rounding the swamp last evening and
are oonSdeiit that they have their man
trapped.
A Host Popular Resort,
DoWitt's Park is one of the most
popular resorts in thisseotion for out
ings. Already this summer a largo
number of picnics have been held at
this park and the date book shows a
large number to follow.
On Wednesday St. Peter's Methodist
Episcopal Sunday school of South Dan
ville will picnio at DeWitt's Park.
This is always a festive occasion for
the young people oil the Sooth sido
and to judge from tiie preparations
that are being made for the event this
year's pionic will uot fall behind the
outings of former summers.
On July 27th the Pine Street Luth
erans will picnic at DeWitt's and on
August and the Trinity Lutherau Sun

al list of the many outings that will
be held at DeWitt's this summer.
Will Pay In Cash.
Pennsylvania Railroad officials have
under consideration a plan to do away
with the present plan of paying tho
men off by checks each month. This
ohauge, according to reports, is made
for several reasons, and will be given
a trial in August when the men re
ceive their pay for July work. It is
said that much time is lost by tho men
ingoing to the pay oar each month,
espooially about the shops. lu order
to prevent this each department is to
receive tiie full amount in cash and
the paymaster will visit tho shops per
sonally and pay the men.

WHEN AUTO BLEW UP

One Man Died of Fright and Two
Others were Badly Burned.

streets, owued by Duttee Wilcox
Flint, blew up and seriously burned
George A. Brown, 24 years old and

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.
Tickets for these excursions sold at
rate of Ten Dollars for round trip from
Philadelphia aud projwrtionate rates
from other points, are good on special
train or connections only and good to

except the "Black Diamond Express."

ANOTHER BLOT IN
NORTHUMBERLAND CO.
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

Picture of River Bridge.
One of the finest products of the
photographer's art ever seen in this
city is the large picture of the river
bridge that has been on exhibition iu
S. F. Kioketts' window, Mill street,
for the past several days.
The picture is oue of several made
by Photographer James Irland for the
King Bridge Company. It is 30 by 18
inches and is an enlarged reproduction
of an 8 by 10 picture taken by Mr.
Irland. The view is taken from a point
west of the Danville approach and
shows the entire length of the struct
ure. A Danville and Suubury trolley
car is standing at the Danville eud.
The features of persons standing on
the bridge can be easily recognized.
New Delivery Wagon.
Arthur Heddens' new delivery wag.
on appeared on the streets for the first
time Saturday morning. The wagon
is the product of D. O. Hunt's works,
and the decorative work was done by
Benjamin Grubb, and is a credit to
his artistio skill. The virtue of the
conveyance, however, does not lie en- ,
tirely lu its ornamental exterior. The
interior is a model of utility. The
arrangemeut of the space, the dust
proor aud moisture proof comimrt
ments make it one of the finest wagons
of its kind ever sesn in this city.
Will Have Orphan's Home.
Following the example of other fra
ternities, it now seems probable that
lu the near future the Patriotic Order
Sous of America, the second largest
secret organization in Pennsylvania,
will establish a home for the care of
its aged and indigent members. This
project has been inaoli discussed and
freqaeutly urged,hut uot until recent
ly lias the agitation assumed definite
form aud shape.
Members of the Danville camps are
enthusiastically in favor of the project
aud will do everythiug in their power
to establish the home.

Another Gunboat Victim Dies.
" SAN DIEGO, Gal., July 36. Anoth
er death among the injured of the Ben
nington's crew lias occurred, the vic
tim being W. V. Kennedy. The body
will bo taken to Allianoe, Nebraska,
where the deceased formerly lived.
The investigation of the disaster,
conducted by Commander Young and
Lieutenants Yates aud Wade, has beeu
couoluded, and a report is being pre
pared to be forwarded to Washington.
Nothing can be learned as to its con
tents from any of the three officers,
hut there appears reason to believe
they have decided only one boiler ex
ploded, but that the explosion broke
the steam pipes of the other boilers,
aud that thus the latter contributed
their share of the death-dealing steam.

Trolley Excursion a Success.
The trolloy ride to Hloomsburg and
return given Monday eve for the bene
fit of the Pine Street Lutheran church
was a grand success financially and
socially.
This is the first time that the Dau
ville aud Hloomsburg linn has placud
an illuminated car on the road and the
effect was an artistic success. The
many colored incandescent lights and
the bunting with which the car was
trimmed produced a most pletsing ef
fect. aud oue that called forth most
favorable comments along the line.
Early in the evening it was found
that such a large number of tickets
had been sold that it would be neces
sary to make two trips aud to run two
cars ou each trip. The first cars left
Danville at 7:20 o'clock and were fill
ed to the capacity. It was necessary
for many to wait for the next trip
which left this oity shortly after 9
o'clock. As each of the open cars
easily seats 100 persons it is estimated
that at least 400 people enjoyed the
ride to Bloomsburg aud return last
evening.
