this whole valley will be transformed
intoono city, as it were.
If our people will show a disposition
to help themselves, they can rely upon
"45

DEATH BED CONFESSION.
A Dying Man's Startling Stnto
monts to a Priost.
Tho Hnzloton Sentinel of Sutu'my con
tained tho following startling story :
Yestordiy afternoon Father Andru
kowicz, tho Hungarian priest of Shonan
doah, was called up to Silvor Brook to at
tend tho death bed of John Giroc, who has
beon 111 for somo time past. Tho visit re
sulted In ono of tho most startling stories of
crimes over hoard of in this section.
The story as far as can bo learned is to
tho effoct that seven yoars ago Giroc killed
a man named Olacz at Shamokin. Thd
body was buried at a placo called Reed's
Station down on tho Northern Central
K. It. Shortly aftorward Olacz's brother
cimo to Hood's Station and charged Giroo
with having mado away with his brothfr.
Giroc and a man namod Ward.it is claimod,
put tho brother out of tho way. Then
thoy moved to Enterprise colliory, a placo
not far from Shamokin. It wilt bo ro
mombored that in Octobor, 1885, a'peddlor
named Hornwoll disappeared. Ho wa
supposed to havo had a largo amount nf
money on his clothes, Ho was lost
KKn from B"a,' 0a? 10 Enterprise colliery
"aM "W!v wun mm
on that night.
On his death bed Giroc gave full and
explicit directions as to whero tho body of
Olacz could bo found at Reeds. It wa3
buried a short distanco from tho railroad
track. Tho murdered man had $170 in
silver at tho time. Giroc wantod to borrow
iioio go to Tyrone but Olacz refusod.
Giroc met him tho noxt morninir. in tho
cut, and asked him again but was again re-
tuseo. ihey were alono at tho timn.
Giroo struck him on tho head with a pick.
Tho rest of tho laborors woro down around
tho curve. Hohurriodly carried thobodv
to tho swamp near by and buried it. Whon
the section boss carao up and asked whero
No. 30 was Giroc said. "Him sharp. Ilim
no work for 00 cont. Him go Sunbury.
Him quit. Give mo check." Ho then
showed tho section boss tho check and
actually drew tho doad man's wages.
His accomplice in tho second crimo, tho
murder of Olacz's brothor, was a big Hun
garian callod Ward. Ward had boon
around Shamokin for some time. They
killed the brothor becauso ho accused Giroo
of tho murdor and they buriod his body
under a tool box, digging a hole first.
throwing tho body in, and then placing tho
tool box back in its placo. Ward also had
a chare in the murder of tho peddler. Tho
poddlorhad ?310 on his porson. They threw
the pack in tho bushos aftor taking what
they wanted out of it. After that murdor
ho and Ward wont to Shonandoah aod
lived thoro until last January, whon Ward
camoto Hazleton, and was now living in a
saloon on North Wyoming strost. Giroo
has been at Silver Brook sinco March.
His death was caused by typhus, and ho
has been ill fur tho last two months. Be
sides tho priost ho told tbo 6tory to several
Hungarians, and said that ho was not sorry
that ho hid killod tho threo men and that
if ho fcot bettor ho would kill more, IIo
said that mon wero not tieatod right in
