VOL. VII. No. 34.
REVENGE OF A LOVER.
SET OFF A CHARGE OF DYNAMITE
TO KILL AN ECKLEY WIDOW.
John Vlnosky's Desperate 1-lan to Have
Revenge Upon Mrs. Rasolslil, Who Re
fused to Marry Htm—Captured a High
wayman—Trouble at Sandy ltun.
John Vinosky, of Eckley, has been
wooing Mrs. Basolski, a fair widow of
that town, for several months, but he
has received very little encouragement.
Last week he made an impassioned ap
peal to the idol of his heart to share his
joys and sorrows. His supplications,
however, were of no avail, and a blunt
refusal was the widow's reply. John
brooded over the matter for a few days,
and finally his revengeful disposition
overcame his tender emotions and he
planned a desperate plot. Had he suc
ceeded in carrying it out he would now
be a candidate for the gallows.
On Saturday John procured four sticks
of dynamite and the uecessary fuse to
set them off. These he hid until an
hour or so after the sun went down,
then he sallied forth in the direction of
the widow's residence. He carefully
arranged the dynamite by the side of
her dwelling, placed the fuse in position
aud set off the deadly charge.
The explosion that followed aroused
the town and the people of Eckley rush
ed in the direction of the noise, expect
ing to find an awful sight. John's lack
of knowledge about dynamite was very
fortunate for Mrs. Basolski. Owing to
the position in which he placed the pow
der it failed to demolish the building,
as was intended. The whole force of
the charge came backward and very
little damage resulted. The house took
fire, but was quicfyy extinguished. The
widow was badly frightened, yet she
surmised at once who was the perpetra
tor of the fiendish deed.
On Sunday alio was convinced that
her rejected lover was the guilty party,
and she came to Freeland and had him
placed under arrest. Squire Buckley
gave him a hearing and John spent last
night in the borough lockup. Officer
Welsh took him to the county jail today.
Captured a Highwayman,
The numerous robberies committed
lately on the turnpike between Highland
and Freeland has given that road the
reputation of being a dangerous one to
travel. One of the highwaymen has
been captured and the proof against him
seems to be sufficient to keep him away
from here for awhile. About 7.30 o'clock
last night two young men of Sandy Run,
Neil Gallagher, Jr., and Elmer Anthony,
were on their way to this place. At the
railroad trestling they were held up by
two men who demanded their money.
Both darted past the robbers, and after
a lively race succeeded in escaping.
They saw the faces of the tnen, how
ever.
Next came Mike Schawinsky, of Adams
street, quietly pursuing his way home
from a visit to Highland friends. When
he reached the same spot, the trestling,
two forms appeared before him and
without a word of warning one of them
began striking at him with a small knife.
He was knocked dpwn and a quart of
whisky and 30 cents, all he possessed,
were taken from him. He received
three gashes with the knife, but man
aged to get to town and make his report.
The police force immediately started
in pursuit of the highwaymen and in
about twenty minutes Officer Jones
caught Joe Antonevich, a Pole from
South Heberton. He was identified by
Messrs. Gallagher and Anthony as one
of the men who tried to rob them, and
was placed in the lockup for safe keep
ing over night. This morning Schawin-
Bky was able to bo around again and he
is positive that Joe was one of the two
who attacked him.
The highwayman was taken before
Squire Kline at 9 a. m. today and re
committed for a further hearing £t 7
o'clock tonight.
A Sandy Hun Christening.
The- next case to require the service
of the borough police was a call from
Sandy Run. A christening celebration
there during the day brought together
many Hungarians, and between some of
them the best of feeling did not exist.
As the time wore on threats nnd chal
lenges were exchanged, and shortly af
ter dark the inevitable fight took place.
Andrew l'anko, with a companion, left
the house of festivities, for a short walk.
He had not proceeded far until he was
set upon by Andrew Hudak and Tony
Cochen, who in a few minutes bad his
forehead gashed and ripped open and
his clothing covered with blood. ,
Andrew came to town and after hav
ing his .wounds dressed swore out a war
rant. Officers Dan Gallagher and Jones
went after Hudak and Cochen and at 11
o'clock liifd them hefore Squire Buckley.
Both men were sent to the borough bas
tile in default of S2OO bail etffch. They
will likely go to Wilkes-Barre today.
Covered with Her Husband's Dust.
Mrs. William Gerseicher, a German
woman of Wilkes-Barre, who has been
deserted by her husband, tells a very
sad story of wanton cruelty. Several
years ago in Europe Mrs. Gerseicher
married August Engle. Soon after this
marriage the young couple came to this
country, locating in New York city,
j where the husband opend a drug store,
and for eight years conducted a very
profitable business. Then he died and
his body was cremated, and the ashes
placed in a costly urn, which the widow
treasured.
Some time after she married William
Gerseicher and the couple went to
Wilkes-Barre to live! Then their trou
bles commenced. He beat her, stole her
jewels and sold them in order to provide
him-elf with money. When the jewels
were gone he told her he was going to
sell the urn containing the dust of her
first husband's remains. She implored
him not to touch it, but he laughed and
brutally seized it and actually threw
the dust over the woman. Mrs. Ger
seicher fainted, and when she recovered
he had disappeared. She complained
to the police, who found he had sold
the urn and left the city.
May Never He Captureil.
The authorities having failed to furn
ish any information as to the identity of
the murderers of the Arabian peddler,
John Mike, the coroner's jury last week
rendered a verdict to the effect that the
victim came to his death on September
20 near the bridge crossing over from
Plymouth by a pistol shot fired at him
by some person or persons unknown,
and the crime was committed for the
purpose of robbery.
No clue to the perpetrators of this foul
crime has been obtained, and it is more
than probable that the guilty parties
will never be captured.
Felt from a Backboard.
Adam Antolek and wife, of Sandy
Run, attended a christening yesterday
at No. 4 Upper Lehigh, and while re
turning home, near the G. A. B. camp
ground, Adam fell out of the buckboard
with such force that his head struck the
wheels, stunning him for awhile. The
driver, thinking he was dead, made his
way to Freeland for help. A crowd soon
collected and went to the scene of the
accident, where they found the wife
leading him home. He was more fright
ened than hurt. The exaggerated report
of the accident created much excite
ment.
Drowned in n Barrel.
Howard Lyons, a four-year-old child
of Edwardsville, fell into a rain barrel
on Friday evening and was drowned.
He had been sitting on the doorstep
with his mother, waiting for his father
to return from work. The mother went
into the house for something and told
the little fellow to "go down to the gate
to wait for papa."
The child instead went around to the
Bide of the house and in some manner
fell into a barrel which was full of water.
It was half an hour before the little fel
low was found, and then he was dead.
The Tiger* Entertainment.
A large audience attended the enter
tainment of the Tigers Athletic Club on
Saturday evening. The programme was
carried out nearly the same as published,
and all who took part did creditable
work. Owing to the illness of George
McLaughlin, A. M. McNulty acted as
chairman of the evening. James Me-'
Gill, of Jeddo, was also ill, and Edward I
Beilly, of Harleigh, filled his place on
the programme. Hugh P. Boyle, of
Lattimer, also delivered a recitation.
The club returns its thanks to all who
assisted at the entertainment.
Church Futr at Eckley.
Rev. Thos. Brehony, past.* of the
Catholic church at Eckley, will hold a
fair in the church basement. It will
open some time in the latter part of
next month and continue through the
Christmas holidays. The congregation
of the church is rather small, and this
method is taken to procure the money
necessary to pay off some indebtedness
that yet remains on the building. The
pastor requests his friends in the neigh-1
boring towns to do what they can to as
sist the congregation in making the fair
a financial success.
The Best Place to Boy.
The people of Freeland are not slow
to learn the best place to buy, especially
in the clothing line, and the handsome
suits which Refowieh is turning dtit at j
ready-made clothing prices are giving
him lots uf free advertising. Nothing
counts so much in business as to secure
a name for doing good work. Refowieh
has the mime of being able to send everv
customer away perfectly satisfied with
his bargain. Try him.
All his goods are new, bright and of
> Llhj latest style and suits will be made to
order at ready-made prices. He has no
rent to pay and can easily do it. The
best fits are guaranteed and clothing
made by him will be kept in repair free
fpr one year. Nothing like this has ever
been seen in Freeland before. Give him
a call. Square treatment assured. I

A Creditable Piece <>[ Work.
From the Weatherly Herald.
The new supply-wagon ordered by the
Firemen's organization was brought to
town on Tuesday last, from Freeland,
where it was built by M. Halpin, car
riage builder. To say the least it is a
beauty, and most substantially built.
The frame is of iron and is put together
in the best possible manner. The box
is long with an offset of about two-thirds
the space, making the back part of the
wagon easy of access. Steps are placed
on the sides and rear.
The painting is a deep carmine trim
med witli gold and silver leaf, and is in
keeping with the rest of the apparatus
owned by the department. On both
sides are the words "Weatherly V. F.
O."
The wagon attracts a good deal of at
tention and much credit is given Mr.
Halpin the builder. He has made a
first-class job of it and Freeland can be
proud that there is located in their
midst an industry that turns out such
fine work.
The design was perfected by Chief W.
B. Lovatt and is just what the company
wants. Extra hose, nozzles, coal, etc.,
can be placed therein very conveniently.
The wagon in every particular is first
class and the department will no doubt
prize it highly. The Weatherly fire de
partment can now make as good, if not
a better showing than any organization
in the Valley.
Young Physician's Death.
From tlio Wilkes-Barre Record.
It is with deep sorrow that we are
called upon to chronicle the death of Dr.
W. J. Edwards, of Warrior Run. The
physician was only 24 years of age, a
graduate of Jefferson medical college, of
Philadelphia. After leaving school lie
settled down at Uniondale, Pa., hut,
owing to ill health, he was forced to
relinquish his practice there and moved j
to his home at Warrior Run.
This change produced a temporary re
i lief and it was not long before he was
again in the midst of a good practice.
About a month ago, however, he was
again attacked with his first atiliction,
| and in order to seek permanent relief,
lie went to the Jefferson college, of Phila
delphia, and there on Thursday under
went a surgical operation from the effects
jof which died on Friday. His body was
| brought home on Saturday. Ho is sur
vived by his father, E. J. Edwards, of
Warrior Rnn, and his sister, Mary Liz
j zie, of the same place, also a brother,
| Edward, with Coxe Bros. & Co. of
j Drifton.
IVII Irani a Trestle.
From today's Plain Speaker,
j An unknown Hungarian was picked
up at Drifton about 7 o'clock last night
and taken to Hazleton on a North Side
| trolley car. He had fallen from the
j srostle whlce supports the track of a road
used for hauling coal from one of Coxe
Bros. A Co.'s slopes to the iron breaker,
the height of the trestling is about fif
( teen feet and the unfortunate man fell
to the team road beneath and sustained
quite a few bad cuts about the head and
I face. He was taken into the Traction
I Company's office, from which place he
j was late removed to the hospital.
Mtdnl ß lit Court.
| At 12 o'clock last night Burgess Mc
j Lnughlin luul to open court in the coun
. cil room, ihe six cells of the borough
| lockup were becoming uncomfortably
! crowded, and the motley aggregation of
drunks and disorderlys had to be thin
ned out to make room for the higher
class of criminals who were to go next!
day to Wilkes-Barre. The usual fines
were imposed upon those who were
guilty, and all decided to pay except
three. I hey concluded to serve out
their time at the expense of the town.
Killed by ait Express Train.
JamesShearn, of Ashley, was instantly
killed on the Lehigh Valley Railroad at
.Sugar Notch on .Saturday morning by
the morning express to New York. It
is thought he committed suicide, as he
walked on the track when he saw the
train coming, and walked toward it
without heeding the whistle or bell.
His body was thrown over the telegraph
wires, so great was the shock.
He hod been very despondent of Into
and said he did not want to live any
longer. Lack of work is the cause.
