He Is Killed on South Cen tre Street by a Hidden Enemy—Nicholas Capece Charged With the Murder. Rudolph Dimerio, a barber, was shot yesterday on South Centre street, and died a few minutes later. So far there Is no direct evidence as to who 11 red the shot or where the assassin stood when the deed was committed. Nicholas Capece, who resides near the home of the dead man, and Pascal Scan derala, a barber conducting a shop in the Capece building, were arrested on I suspicion of being implicated in the murdor. At a hearing last evening Scanderala was discharged. Cape -e was given :J hearing this after noon and held for trial. I j Shortly before 11 o'clock yesterday morning Rudolph Dimerio left his barber ; shop in the Cutler building, on South j Centre street, to go to the postofllce. He told his wife and another Italian who boards with the family that he return in a few minutes. Proceeding northward he passed the store of Henry Marchetti and was about half-way pa*t the store of August Zadra when the report of a gun rang out. Dimerio turned partly around, reeled, and sank to the ground. His wife and friend ran out of the shop, saw him lying on the sidewalk, and with the assistance of other people who were on the street carried him back to the bouso. Messengers were sent for a physician and a priest, and Dr. PeardofT. followed by Rpv. Charles Pajchisak, of St. John's Slavonian church, responded. The physician found the man unconscious, with life rapidly ebbing away. The priest quickly administered the last rites of the Catholic Church, and a few moments later death came. Chief of Police O'Donncll was on Contro street, near Luzerne, when the shot was iired and saw the man fall. Hurrying to the scone as rapidly as pos sible, he saw that a murder had un doubtedly been committed, and as ap pearances indicated that the shot had been iired from some building in the vicinity he gave, his attention to the Capece premises, which was the next one Dlincrlo would ha/e passed on ills way northward. TWO MEN ARRESTED. An examination of the locality showed the average width of the sidewalk on that side of the street to he about twelve feet, up to the Capece lot. Here a barber shop extends over the sidewalk to within six feet of the curb. Under neath the shop there is a window, with one of the panes removod, leaving a hole which almost directly faces a person walking northward on that side. No one on the street at the time saw any person with a gun, consequently the police, Patrolmen Welsh and Mollick and Constable Welsh having arrived in the meantime, formed the opinion that the shot was probably fired from the cellar window described above, and they placed the owner of the premises, Nicholas Capece, under arrest. A search of the Capece store, residence and barber shop was made. In the store a shot-gun was found standing In a corner six feet from the door leading to the cellar. In the barber shop stove was found the brass end of a metallic shell. The gun was loaded with a shell, but looked as if the inside of the barrel had recently been cleaned. It smelted strongly of smoke. Pascal Scanderala, who conducts the barber shop in the Capece building for the owner of the house, was then taken into custody. HOLDING TIIK INQUEST. Dr. Bowman, deputy coroner, arrived at 11.45 o'clock. He ordered Dr. lirackott to make a post-mortem exami nation. The following Jury of Inquest was empanelled and heard testimony In the Municipal building during the after noon: Charles Moerschbacher, S. J. Non- PLEASURE.

Frfcflaud* FREELAND, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 0, 1901. Burger, S. Woodring, John G. Davis, R E. Myers and John James. Jauies McCullom testified that he was walking down Centro street: when in front of Capece'a store saw Dimerio coming out of his own shop; when with in fifteen feet of him heard a report and saw the barbor fall to the ground. Ho saw smoke, but did not know where It came from. Had seen Officer Mollick up-town and ran back to got hi in. J. P. McDonald heard the shot and came out of his store; saw Dimerio lying on tho ground with bis wife over him. Dr. Bracken's testimony was very Im portant. Ills examination of the dead man showed sixteen wounds Inflicted by buckshot on tho left, side of the body; the bullets entered upward at an angle of 23 degrees; one shot pierced the heart; seven ©f the bullets were removed. This angle, it is said, would corres pond with the direction bullets would take if lired from a gun resting on the window sill in the Capece cellar, and the course of the balls in the body, from right to left, is also considered identical with tho courso which a charge would follow under the same conditions. Pascal Scanderala denied all know ledge of the shooting; said ho was in a shoemaker's shop up-town wlion he heard of tho murder; did not know of any trouble between Capece and Dimerio. Tho testimony of the police and others who were present Immediately after the shooting occurred was taken by the jury, but no direct evidence against the prisoners canto out. The hearing was then adjourned to a future date and Scanderala was dis charged, it having been proven that he was not in the neighborhood at tha time. CAPECE FORMALLY ACCUSED. County Detective Richard Jones ar rived from Wilkesbarre last evening, and after acquainting himself with the facts swore out a warrant against Capece, and 2 o'clock today was set as the time for tlie hearing before Squire Shovlin. PRISONER HELD FOR TRIAL. The hearing began at, 2.30 o'clock this afternoon and contniued until 4 o'clock. Capece was represented by Attorney John M. Carr, of Freeland, and tho com monwealth by Abner Smith, of Hazle ton. Paulino Capece, a daughter of the prisoner, saw her father cleaning a gun j after the shooting occurred. She was upstairs when she heard the report of a gun. The testimony of several othor wit nesses was heard by the justice, and the prisoner was held without bail to answer tho charge of murder. He was remanded to the borough lock up and will be taken to the county jail tonight. WHO THE VICTIM 18. Rudolph Dimerio, like ail the other persous who are figuring prominently In the tragedy, was born in Italy. He was about 37 years of age and came to Free land seven years ago. According to sevoral of tho neighbors he did not got along peacefully with his countrymen, and had quarreled with several of thorn during tho past few yean. It Is reported that the deceased and C&peco were known to not bo on friendly terms. The dead man is survived by his wife and a seven-year-old son. The funeral will take place at 2 o'clock tomorrow. The remains will beluterrod at St. Ann's cemetery. MURDERER MUST IIK FOUND. The feeling In town is that no efforts should be neglected and no expense spared to capture the guilty person. It Is the most cold-blooded murder ever committed in this section of the county, as the assassin was undoubtedly waiting for his victim, and the quality of shot used is evidence that the gun was fired for tho purpose of killing.

From Today's Philadelphia Press. The operators ot the anthracite region will not accept the invitation of the United Mine Workers and attend the convention to bo held in Hazleton nest week. Tills was decided upon at a recent meeting and !• not the only im portant decision arrived at after a thorough reviow of the situation. The railroad and financial interests of Wall street can alone order a change iu the program outlined and this is not expected at this time. The resolution referred to was unani mously adopted at the meeting of oper ators, together with a number of others which, if made public at this time, would provoke a struggle unprecedented in the history of coal mining. Thoso known to have attended and participated iu the argument previous to the adoption of the resolution refuse to deny the meet ing, or the fact that these resolutions were passed. From an authuritative source it has been learned that one of the individual operators who attended the conference voted to force the issue with the men and devote the earning powers of his colliery to the work of breaking tho strength of the union in tho anthracite region. lie proposed also that the oper ators dictate the terms on April 1, and offer tho men a reduction of 10 per cent in wages, reducing the scalo to the rate in force previous to tho big strike, and, upon their refusal to accept, closo down every colliery In the region. Death of George Bird. George lllrd, a well known resident of lower Luzerne county, died at his home on West Walnut street at 'J o'clock last evening. For the past few weeks he had been dangerously 111, and owing, to his advanced age it was feared by fiis relatives that he would be unable to overcome his aliments. Mr. itlrd was a native of England, but had resided iu this vicinity for thirty one years. He was a kind and consid erate gentleman who had formed many warm friendships among his acquaint ances.

Watering Growing Plants. Plants need a good deal more wator as tho days grow longer and warmer than they do in midwinter. They should be given all they can make use of. Watch the surface of the soil and whenever It looks dry give more water. Do not make watering a matter of three times a week and so much to a plant, as many do, but be governed by the evident needs of the plant as shown by tho soil.— March Ladies' Homo Journal.
