A Voting (Jlrl Shoot* Herself.
Considerable excitement prevailed at

ing jury : oseph P. McDonald, Frank
i Depierro, Cortdy O. Boyle, Salvador De
! pierro, Henry S. Keck and A. B. Welsh,
j A number of witnesses were examined,
1 as well as the mother and younger sister
!of the dead girl. After hearing the
j testimony of the witnesses the following
! verdict was rendered : That Carmela
■ Cappece came to her death at Foundry
i vi.ie, in Foster Township, County of
Luzerne and State of Pennsylvania, by a
pistol shot wound in her left breast, and
that the >aid shot was fired by the hand
of the saiil Carmela Cappece with sui-,
cidal intent,
j No cause could be assigned for the I
I rash act, as during the earlier part of j
i the dav she was attentive to her house- j
hold duties and was in the best of j
j humor.
| Shortly before taking her life she went
up stairs accompanied by her younger |
j sister, and made inquiries as to where j
! her father's revolver was kept. Failing j
to find it, and her sister having in the j
meantime gone down stairs, she took a
revolver belonging to one of the hoarders,
1 which hung from a string on the wall,
and opened the case; she then laid the
empty ease on one bed and went and

The MurdererH Hanged.
i George Washington Moss was hanged
i in the prison yard, at Wilkes-Barre, at
1 10.18 o'clock Thursday morning. Moss
' walked to the gallows smiling, with a
| Arm and fearless pace. He said : "God
j does not hold me responsible for the mur-
I der of my wife, and I do not hold myself
j responsible. I die like a soldier, with a
smile." Death ensued in 11 minutes.
| The hanging was witnessed by only a
j few persons, a jury of 12, 25 deputies
j and 10 reporters. The execution was
conducted without a hitch. At 8.80
o'clock Moss was visited by Rev. Hayden,
of the Episcopal Church, and an hour
of religious devotions was held in the
Warden's private room in the prison.
The remains of Moss were given in
charge of his brother-in-law, J. G. Har
rington, of Hazleton, who had them
interred in the city cemetery in Wilkes-
Barre.
The Carbon County jail at Mauch
Chunk was crowded Thursday morning
to witness the hanging of Oliver William
! Stangley. The drop fell at 11.04 o'clock j
and lie died without a struggle. He was
pronounced dead at 11.19.
About 500 people were admitted to sec;
the execution. They began to gather |
early. Religious services were held in •
the cell of the prisoner, who had selected i
Rev. L. Lindenstruth, of Mauch Chunk,
and Rev. J. B. Fox, of Slatington, as his i
spiritual advisers. Ex-Sheriff J. W. j
Raudenbush superintended the exe
cut ion. At 10.50 the procession came
from the cell of the condemned inan.
Rev. Lindenstruth read some selec
tions of Scripture. They then knelt and
Rev. Heisler offered up a fervent prayer,
the prisoner kneeling on one knee ami I
holding his left hand before his face.
The doomed man prayed audibly part of
the time and joined in the Lord's prayer.
The Sheriff then asked him whether he
had anything to say? Stangley replied
in German that men should repent and
not lead a life like his. He then shook
hands with the preachers. Sheriff Levan
then shackled the hands of the doomed
man, adjusted the rope about his neck
and put on the black cap. At 11.04 the
drop fell. Stangley dropped about live
feet and his neck was broken. He was
practically dead instantly, only once
slightly moving his legs. At 1i.19 he;
was pronounced dead. At 11.30 the
body was cut down, placed in a casket
and handed over to his step-father, w ho
had them removed to Slatington for
interment.
Stangley was hanged for the murder
of his hoarding mistress, Mrs. Sybil la
Walbert, at Weatherly, on October 19,
1889.
Accident At Upper Lehigh.
Patrick Mallov, a miner who worked
at No. 5 Upper Lehigh, was killed by
being run over by a trip of mine cars, on
Tuesday evening. The workmen ride
to and from work on the mine cars that
are drawn by a locomotive, that runs be
tween No. 5 and the breaker. While
coming home from work, Malloy got be
tween the cars and wlieh he went to get
off, it is supposed his foot or clothing be
came fast on the car, throwing him un
der the cars, from the effects of which
he died in twenty minuets.
Itcdiiciiig the Force.
Traffic on the Lehigh Valley Railroad
has become so slack along its line during
the past couple of weeks that orders
have been issued reducing the force of
hands at all the shops along the line,
and putting the remaining hands on
three quarter time. The reason given is
the slack condition of the coal trade.
No coal is being handled over the Valley
road this week, and for this reason all
collieries which ship over this route are
also idle.— Standard
Arbor Duys.
Governor Pattison issued a proclam
ation Thursday last designating Friday,
April Pi, and Friday, May 1, to he ob
served as Arbor Days in Pennsylvania.
He says the selection of either of the
above designated days iH left to the dis
cretion of the people in the various sec
tions of the Commonwealth, each
locality observing that day which is
deemed to he most favorable on account
of climatic conditions. He refers to the
destruction of the forestsand adds:
"It is the bounden duty of every citi
zen who is interested in the future pros
perity of the State to lend his personal
influence to any and every effort that
has for its object the encouragement of
forest culture and tree planting, not alone
upon our own lands, but upon the public
grounds and highways."
He earnestly invokes the potential in
fluence of the public press in awakening
a healthful public sentiment throughout
the State, so that the people may be
aroused to the importance of an Arbor
May. In conclusion he says :
"I recommend that the teachers and
pupils in our schools, both public and
private, set apart this day, and observe
it by recitations, essays, discussions and
other appropriate exercises, so that the
youthful mind may he impressed with
the beauty and utility to be found in a
flower, a twig, a tree." ,

Weekly foul Report.
The anthracite coal trade is awaiting
the spring opening of business. One of
the requisites for this has been provided
by tbe arrangement of the coal sales
agents of reduced prices for the trade, to
go into effect April Ist. The operators
and shippers are now awaiting the other
necessary requisite, the fixing of the
spring lolls by the railroads. It was
thought that the Interstate Commerce de
cision in the Lehigh Valley Railroad case
might have produced reduced toll sheets,
but the present indication is that the car
rying companies will probably disregard
that decision, awaiting further judicial
action on the subject, the present con
dition of the anthracite trade, therefore,
continues dormant and without new fea
ture of importance. The supplies are
still increasing, the companies miningand
shipping more than the market takes,
so that in most sizes the shipping ports
I and Eastern receiving depots hold exees-
I ive stocks. Down to the close of March,
the output for the present coal year is ex
pected to he fully 1,750,000 tons in excess
of the same period last year, the Reading
Company having mined more than 500,
000 tons of the excess, and the aggregate
surplus increasing at the rate of full}'
100,0(0 tons weekly. Faster holidays
are causing the customary stoppage of
work at the mines, but its influence will
be almost inappreciable. Considering
the surroundings of the trade, the new
circular prices are being reasonably well
maintained, and the trade is in position
to provide the most ample supplies for
both East and West when spring business
activeiy opens. The producers, while
admitting that the new prices are not
quite so low as those of a year ago, yet
claim there is very little profit in them.
Consumers, however, have got into such
habit of hand-to-mouth buying, and leav
ing the companies to carry the unsold
stocks, that it will he difficult to change
their present methods.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
March 21, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 582,315 tons,
compared with 473,034 tons in the corres
ponding week last year, an increase of
109,281 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1891 ;
wa57,359,799 tons, compared with 5,0G2,-.
037 tons for the same period last year, an
increase of I,694,762tons. — Ledger.

"East Eynne.
i Last night Miss Ada Gray made her
; first appearance before a Columbus au
, dience ami at once won a place in their

a rich voice that expresses every degree

faculty of sinking self, as it were, for the
time, into the character she represents.
Her rendition of Lady Isabel in "East
