In view of the increase of business | along the lines of the New York Cen- tral, engineers who were sent back to firing sometime ago on account of the strike are now restored to their former position and are held in readiness for ) | duty at any time. A month ago it was | found necessary to make some sweep- | ing reductions in the road forces. On 0! the Fall Brook and Beech Creek dis- tricts about sixty knights of the throttle were subject to this change. This included all those engineers who had been promoted since 1899. The change did not mean much to those set back because they were not making very much time. Only twelve crews were left to take care of the road busi- ness.

Could Not Sell, Gave 1t Away. Colonel Bob Westbrook, of Altoona, advertised to give away by the plate, 25 gallons of ice cream Sunday to his patrons because enforcement of the blue laws prevented him from selling it. The offer brought out two record breaking crowds. Out of consideration for the church people the restaurant was closed during the time of the morning service. When the parlors were open Sunday afternoon another crowd was ready for the free ice cream. The day was sweltering and the cream reached the spot. It was the colonel’s intention to give away only 25 gallons, but it raised to 40. Oream was sent to every sick room in the vicinity of the restaurant. Get the Best Always.

Not only did the Italian authorities of the province of Sicily allow Car- mine Grillo to prove an alibi in the case in which he was charged with the murder of two persons in Portage, but they allowed Francisco Imbessi, the man who the authorities claim was at the head of the plot which resulted in the death of Charles Hayes and the stealing of §4,000 at Portage in July of 1904, to escape. As a result it is likely that the cruel murder of July 31, 1904, will go una- avenged and that Imbessi will be per- mitted to enjoy somewhere, the several thousand dollars he is thought to have secured at the cost of an American’s life. It will be remembered that, on the date mentioned, as Patrick Cambell, superintendent of the mines of the Puritan Coal company, and Charles Hayes, his driver, were driving along a Richard | lonely road between Portage and the Three unknown men Hayes was killed at the first shot.

Detectives from all over the country | trailed the murderers. No trace of | them was found, however, until some | { months after the murder and robbery | occurred. Then, from the testimony of aman who knew the details in the | case, it was learned that Francisco Im- bessi had been the ringleader in the | dastardly plot and had abandoned his | companions in crime and had flown to Italy. | The Italian authorities were notified. | = They were very slow in the matter, | however. They demanded proof, and this was secured from four men ar- rested and locked up in jail at Ebens- burg. Two of these men were princi- pals in the affair and the other two were witnesses. All of this testimony was forwarded to the Italian consul at Philadelphia. Nothing was heard until a few days ago. Then the Cambria county authorities were informed by the Philadelphia consul that Imbessi had escaped in some manner. He had received word from the neighborhood of Portage, it is said, that the police were after him, His wife, so said the Itailan consul, was mourning his disappearance. Just what will be done next in the matter is unknown, but Imbessi has escaped. DISTRESSING FATALITY. Young Lady While Boating Fell From Boat and Was Drowned. While rowing in a small pleasure canoe on Lake Rowena at Ebensburg Tuesday afternoon, Miss Grace Mec- Nulty, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. M. McNulty, of Carnegie, Pa., reached from the boat to secure a handkerchief which she had dropped and in so doing was drowned. Miss McNulty, with her sister, Miss Bessie, was visiting the summer as- sembly at the pleasure resort and with Eugene Herron, aged 15, spent the afternoon on the lake. There were several others present on the lake at the time who, went to her assistance when the boat capsized, but the weight of her clothing: kept her from rising. The lake was partially drained and the body recovered by grappling hooks that evening. The Herron boy, who is a son of Charles A. Herron, of Pittsburg, was with great difficulty rescued, and is now at the Mountain house, Ebens- burg, in a precarious condition. Lost Many Orders. According to a statement of opera- tors in the eastern press the idleness of the soft coal region by reason of the late strike has enabled the hard coal people to recapture important markets previously lost, resulting in an annual increase of ten million tons.
