MURDER MYSTERY STIKS lit HAL BERKS, Reading, (Special). The mystery In the burning of the large tine Swiss barn of Henry Haul, In Lower Heid elberg Township, between Sinking Spring and Wernersvllle, and the death, by shooting, of Mr. Gaul's hired man, Adam Faust, has not yet been cleared lip, though the author ities are using every effort, to appre hend the guilty parties. To make matters worse Mr. Haul found his wife dead In bed. Death was duo lo heart trouble brought on by vhe excitement of the night lieforo. The residents of the neighborhood are much wrought up over the trag edy, which was enacted with such spectacular setting. Shortly after 1 o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Gaul were awak ened by revolver shots, which came from the direction of the barn. I'p on going to the window they saw a light, such as a lantern would make, moving around the barn ynrd. The couple haBtlly dressed and up on reaching the barn found It envel oped In flames. The live stock could not be Bated and three horses, live cows, seventy-five tons of hay and a lot of farm Implements and wagons were consumed. Later the body of a man, almost burned to a crisp, was found in the smoking ratal, and Borne distance away a revolver was-picked up. When Adam Faust, the hired man, could not be found, It was al once con jectured that It was his body In the ruins Coroner Strasser held an Inquest. Mr. Gaul lost mod that Faust had been In his employ for 16 years. He lived In a tenant house a short dis tance from the barn. Mr. Gaul told how himself and wife were awaken ed by revolver shots about 1 o'clock in the morning and how, when they arrived at the barn found It In flames. He also told of seeing some one walking about the premises with a light. He never knew Faust to curry or ever own a revolver. In the revolver found on the prem ises there were five empty shells in the chambers, but only four of them had been fired, as the Indention on the caps In the shell revealed, while the other shell had been discharged by the heal of the fire. Coroner Strasser and others are of the theory that Faust after re turning from a visit to Sinking Spring, went, to the barn to look at a sick horse, which he bad been at tending to nightly before going to bed. When he reached the barn he found the door open. Going Inside he found the building afire. The per son who fired II. was about to make hiB escape when confronted by Faust. Realizing that he was caught in the act, and hearing Faust's testi mony would convict him, he drew a revolver and shot the hired man to death and then made his escape. Mrs. Gaul was greatly excited at the Coroner's inquest and retired im mediately afterward. When her hus band went to her room to call her In the morning he found her cold In death. The State Constabulary has taken up the case of the burning of the barn and the snooting of Faust. Gaul's loss by fire was 7,o00. STATE ITEMS. COMMERCIAL COLUMN.

Darcelll, the Italian consul, to learn : that be was receiving applications I from young Italians who desire to join the army of tbelr native land. I When I spoke of It he laughed and said that was nothing new with him, us he had been doing It for years, j often visiting Syracuse and other near-by cltlci to secure recrulti. In I Italy, ai In other European countries, all young men must serve In the army a certain length of time, and I although Italians living In this coun try cannot be compelled to do mili tary lervlce, many of them do en list. Consul Baccelli tells me that he received about 50 applications at Syracuse tbls week, and also a few In thll city. These young men will be sent to Italy, where they will remain in the army for three years. Albany Journal.
