Contents Scattered on the Ground
But No Trace of the Money It
Contained
The trunk which was stolen from
Joe Bennitt’s home on East street,
some time during Friday night,
was found late Saturday afternoon
along the bank of the Susquehanna
river, near the new bridge, by Chief
Walsh. The trunk had been broken
open, and the clothing which it
contained was scattered over the
ground, A child's bank, which
had contained a small amount of
change, was found among the
clothing. It had also been broken
open and the contents taken. The
$675, which Benaitt now says was
in the trunk, could not be found.
The trunk had evidently been car-
ried to the river by parties who
were perfectly familiar with the
surroundings as the place where it
was found is a secluded one. The
police are firm in their belief that
the trunk was stolen from Bennitt’s
house by persons acquainted with
its interior, and the fact that the
trunk contained a large amount of
money. They are unable, however,
to find even a clue that tends to
fasten the guilt upon any one.
Saturday night Bennett insisted
a magistrate and make oath that
they had nothing to do with taking
the trunk. Chief Walsh accord-
ingly rounded up eight of the
boarders, all Hungarians, and took
them before Justice Nelson. Each
of the foreigners swore that they
had nothing to do with the theft
and this appeared to appeaseBennitt
who is perfectly satisfied of their
honesty.
Several houses in the neighbor
hood where Bennett resides were
searched on Saturday afternoons
but nothing that would shed aay
light on the mystery was found.
Bennett has offered a reward of
$100 for the return of the money,
and all the officers in the valley are
working on the case, with but little
hope of success.

DECKER REARRESTED
Fred Decker was again in the

of his wife, who alleged that he

As the woman would not stand for
this sort of treatment she had her

J. Vine Terry Met With Terrible
Fate While He Slept on the
Tracks
J. Vine Terry, a resident of New
Albany, was struck and instantly
killed by a Lehigh freight engine
in the Towanda yards oa Saturday
night. The fatality occurred about
10 o'clock near the Meredith bot-
tliog works. Terry sat upon the
tracks, probably asleep, and did not
get up when the engine approached.
The forward trucks passed over
his body, severing the left foot at
the ankle and breaking his neck
The engine was in charge of Ens
gineer John McGovern. DeWitt
Benjamin, a brakeman, was also on
the engine and both saw Terry sit-
ting on the tracks but supposed
that he would get up when he heard
the noise of the engine and the
bell., As the locomotive drew
nearer Benjamin shouted at the
man on the track. He attempted
to get up but fell back. Benjamin
then signaled the engineer to stop,
but it was too late.
The unfortunate man was the
son of Jobn Terry of New Albany
and was 25 years old. The re-
mains were removed to his father’s
home and the funeral occu® 1 to~
I. S, WARSHIP SINKS
OFF COAST OF CHINA
Protected Cruiser Sinks in the
Indian Ocean Some Time Sun-
day—Entire Crew Perished
A telegraph despatch received
this morning at the Waverly stock
exchange states that cablegrame
have been received from Shanghai,
China, to the ®Rect that the United
States warship Helena sank in the
Indian Ocean off the coast of China
some time yesterday, and that the
entire crew was lost. The despatch
did not state what was the cause of
the disaster, but it is very probable
that it was due to a typhoon. This
is the time of year when those ter-
rific storms rage and it was only a
few days ago that the shipping in
the harbor of Hong Kong, China,
was broken up and over 1000 tives
lost.
The Helena is a gunboat amd
was built in 1894 at a cost of $280,-
000. She is 259 feet long, and her
displacement was 1397 tons, the
horse power was 1988, and she
carried 8 four inch guns in the
main battery. The crew, every man
of which is said to be lost, consists
ed of ten officers and 173 men.
“THE CHOIR SINGER"
An elaborate scenic production
including the exact reproduction of
a Broadway roof garden, is prom-
ised with “The Choir Singer” which
will furnish the attraction at the
Loomis opera house on Fiiday,
September 28, for an engageinent
of one night. This latest comedy
drama success from the pen of
Carroll “Fleming, author of “Sis
Hopkins,” has just concluded an
engagement in New York, where
it was received by the press and
the public with great enthusiasm.
A feature of the play which is said
to please all classes of theatregoers
is the introduction, at appropriate
moments, of a number of musical
selections, including songs of a
varied nature. A large company
of carefully selected metropolitan
players are engaged in the presen-
tation.

proceeds from the street carnival
held here last week. Considering
the weather and the fact that a

for a car when a gang, which may
also usually be found near this par

One of the number finally struck

attempted to defend himself against
further indignities he was struck in

stated. Finally he managed to

in boarding a car oa Eimer avenue
Those who witnessed the attack on
the farmer say that it was a most
disreputable and uncalled for piece
of rowdyism, and when he was told
to have the gang arrested he ap-
peared to be frightened and glad
enough to escape with his life and
the lives of children.

BOILERMAKERS ~~ --
WANT MORE WAGES
May Inaugurate a Strike if
Their Demands Are Not
Granted
¥ The boilermakers employed by
the various railroad in this section
want an increase in wages, at least
this report has been given out by
labor leaders at Wilkes-Barre. It
is said that the boilermakers will
make a demand for an increase in
the wage scale, and that unless
they get it a strike will be the re-
sult, in the event of a strike
other crafts will assist them, The
local boilermakers have made no
demands as yet.
TRANSFORMER. BURNED OUT
The carnival grounds were in
darkness Saturday night on ac-
count of the electric transformer
burning out. The transformer is
located across the street from the
grounds and shortly after the
various shows began to do busi-
ness on Saturday evening it began
to burn. F. J. Heffron, chief of
the wiremen, was on hand and at-
tempted to shut off the current.
While doing this a quantity of
hot porcelain fell upon his right
hand, burning it severely. The
burning of the transformer means
a considerable loss to the compas
ny as they are expensive affairs.
