Two Men Fired Upon at a Polish
Christening;.
NEITHER BADLY INJURED.
They Were Guests and the Host Seemed
to Become Suddenly Possessed of
Jealousy Placed Under Ball.
Peter StenltU3, a resident of the First
ward, is indebted to his bad ruarkmnnshlp
for not being a candidate for the gallowc
Hu has shot two men, and evidently shot
to do harm, but the bullets went wide of
faal spots. According to the stories of
the victims and the accut-ed's own stae-
ments the latter is not the kind of a man
tlint. should be at large.
Stenitus had a christening at his house
nud among the visitors were Charles
Savltsky, a cousin of Mrs. Stenitus, and
jonn xancueisKy. ueer iiowea ireeiy,
of course, and cverybjdy had agd time.'
There was no quarrel and no hot
words were exchanged, Savltsky and
Yanchefsky did not remain long, and ac
cording to the statements of all the,
witnesses, they were not intoxicated.
Savltsky was the first to prepare to
eave. tie stepped up to uls cousin anu ner
husband and kissed each good-bye. He
was about to leave the place when Steni
tus, without any provocation, hit him on
the head with a small hammer. The blow
'did not knock Savltsky down, but it dazed
'ljim and before he could fully realize
what bad happened, or prepare to defend
himself, Stenitus drew a revolver and shot
him in the left arm, just below the
ho-lder. Great excitement prevailed
and there was a general scramble forthe
doors and windows. Savltsky was still
partly dazed from the blow he had re
ceived on the head and did not Seem to
think of escape. Yanchefsky put his arm
around Savltsky's neck and urged him to
go home. At the same time Stenltns
fired another shot and the bullet passed
through Yanchefsky's left hand.
After the second shot all the parties,
including the victims, rushed from the
bouse and the trouble ceased. Savltsky
and Yanchefsky "went to Dr. Spalding's
office and had their wounds dressed. The
doctor proved for the bullet in Sovltsky's
arm, but could not find it. He says both
Vvouuds are ugly ones, but he does not
apprehend auy serious consequences,
Stenitus was arrested and taken before
Justice Tooruey. He was nonchalent and
freely acknowledged the shooting. His
Story of the affair brought a vein of
jealousy in it. He stated that duringthe
evening Savltsky spoke privately to Mrs.
Stenitus and told her that he could not
consider himself her cousin while her
husband lived, as he did not like him;
that When S-ivltsky was about to leave
the house, and just after the kissing,
Savltsky took a strong hold of Stenitus
and ground his teeth in an ominous way.
Stenitus took this. as a threat, hence the
attack. He first fired a shot to the floor,
'he says, and after shooting the men ran
'out into the alley and fired six shots to
attract the attention of the police. Accord
ing to this he fired nine shots in all. The
revolver he used could not be found. It
had six barrels and was of 32 calibre.
When asked how he could fire nine shots
Stenitus said he carried plenty cartridges
In' his pocket and he reloaded the weapon.
Stenltds was put under J500 ball.

fully considered the progress of our
organization in the anthracite field, the
deplornb'e conditions governing our
wbrkuien In their employment, etc
hud recognizing, as you, too must
recognize, the great mutuality of Inter
ests between anthracite and bituminous
miners to the extent that competition
exercises a controily power, whereby it
becdmes necessary that' all mine work'
men co-operate with each other to the end
that our eoudltton as wage earners may
ba materially bettered.
Not having sufficient time In which to
visit all locals before February 12th,
take this means of calling your attention
to the absolute necessity of every local
union In the anthracite region being repre
sented to the national convention, bellev?
ing as we do that If you were once repre

toward complete organization between an

We have determined to continue our
efforts to organize the anthracite region,
consequently will do all in our power to
assist you in sending delegates to the
national convention and urge that you do
your part in this most Important matter.
The dark, threatening clouds now
hovering over every miner and laborer In
the land foretell additional hardship and
increased suffering and demands our
most careful, wise and conservative con
sideration and united co-operation.
; Fraternally yours,
John Fahy,

The effort to revive stock brokerage

October and continued the business for
several weeks, when Hodson & Co., of
Philadelphia, took hold and tried to make
it go, but with no more success. Yester
day the office was closed permanently.
