IS IT MURDER OR SUICIDE ?
Mysterious Death at Shohola Siar
day Night.
1-yrita Smith Found Drari In Her Room.
The Other1 Occupant Man Who
Claims He was to Marry Her Next
Day.
Something of a sensation was
aroused in the town Monday by The
report that parties from Shohola
were here seeking the offices of the
coroner to hold an inquest on a body
of a woman dead from a pistol Rhot.
Coroner Goigor immediately re
paired to the scene of the tragedy
and summoned n jury to investigate
the cause of death which subse
quently found a verdict as follows :
" That Lydia Smith came to her
death from a pistol shot by un
known hands at the house of John
Wohlfarth between the hours of 8
o'clock p. m. Sunday evening and
7 a. m. Monday.
Signed, Lorenz GKiGER.Coronor.
Georhe Haas, Foroman.
John Wohlfarth.
W. J . Sadler.
William Sadler.
L. J. Swezey,
George P. Haas.
The coroner from statements made
by different ones doemed it his duty
to bring the man down and lodge
him in jail, which was done Mon
day night. From the somewhat
chaotic utterances of that official we
glean the following as to the facts
of the case. Early in July the wo
man came to Wohlfarth, who lives
sorno three miles from Shohola and
keeps a boarding house, to work as
a domestic, claiming to bo. a widow
with throe children, two of whom
remained in New York and one a
boy some 9 or 10 years old was with
her. Matters ran smoothly until
about a week prior to her death
when a man appeared, whoso rela
tions to her scorn to have boen of an
intimate nature for they occupied
the same room.
Sunday night it is stated they did
not rotire until very late, and Mon
day morning when called did' not
respond until repeated efforts were
made when the man came to the
door and said the woman had. shot
herself. She was found lying on
the bod with a pistol grasped in her
right hand and a bullet hole in her
right, tomplo. Her companion stated
that he heard no shot and was una
ware of her condition until awaken
ed by the rappings on the door of
the room.
. He further stated that he had giv
en her 1250 specifying the kind of
money, and that they were to be
married that day. ' The boy above
alluded to, seemed to corroborate a
part of this statement by saying
that he saw the man have a large
sum of money, the day previous.
Careful search however failed to re
veal any trace of any sum whatever,
In possession of either the man or
woman. Both seemed to be penni
less. The man whose name was not
definitely learned, as he was called
Smith and Shultz, and Herman was
released from confinement Tuesday
afternoon by the Sheriff, who had
no warrant, or commitment or au
thority to detain him. It seems
passing strange that a jury composed
of six presumably intelligent men,
aided even by a Pike County Coro
ner, should, after learning the nak
ed fact that the man was alone in the
room with her when she was shot,
and as he stated with his pistol, ac
cept the statement that he heard no
shot fired and that she had killed
herself, and render a verdict as
above recorded. What may be the
true inwardness of the matter may
never be known. It may be pre
sumed tliat the verdict, which is in
the handwriting of one utterly in-
coimiotout to draw a paper of such
moment, expresses the real seuti.
ment of the jury, but it is also in
comprehensible how a jury with or
dinary intelligence and unbiassed
judgment could bo stultify the sit
uation as to render a verdict which
entirely exculpated a man who cer
tainly was in a position domuuding
a soarcliing scrutiny before a com
potent tribuuul. We have spoken
MILFORD, TIKE
elsewhere of excrescences which
make the body politic sick, and, if
the above recital which we assume
to lie true, coming as it does from an
official tif the County, is not sufflci
ent warrant for our assertion, and
ample evidence that we need some
ohange In the administration of bur
affairs to save ns from the scorn arid
contumely of law regarding" com
munities, then we acknowledge our
selves to be ignorant of what con
stitutes good local government.
The libel, still going the rounds of
the press that recently in the case
of the negro Siglar, our townsmen
wore with difficulty restrained from
trampling on law and justice by
lynching him, emanated from the
brain of a callow youth who cares
more for the cheap sensations he can
create than he does for the reputation
of our citizens, and the'statoment, if
true, would bo in striking contrast
to the apparent utter lack of desire
on the part of those invested with
authority, to properly investigate
what may be ahenious crime.

Church Improvements.
The Methodist Church people of
this place are making some neodful
improvements to their edifice, the
principal one being enlarging re
modelling, and beautifying the Sun
day school room. The school un
der the assiduity of Mr. Neff and
his forvont assistants required more
room to comfortably accommodate
the increased number, hence it
becomes necessary to take out a
partition and add a room, which will
be connected with the larger room
by means of folding doors. Now
windows, columns, and steps will
also be added, and when completed
according to design the room will be
a comfortable pleasant, and attrac
tive homo for their Sabbath sohool.

A PLEASANT EVENT.
An Informal Pot-Pie Supper Held In Lay
ton Lat Thursday, Sept. 17.
The Press had no inclination to
decline an invitation extended by
Mr. Geo. E. Hurst and hia plcnsant
wife, of Layton, to be present with
feminine assistants at an informal
pot-pie supper given by that" gentle
man Thursday evening. The
grounds wore handsomely illumin
ated, the compnny charming, and
the " raised pot-pio " with its con
comitant chicken and endless vari
ety of too tempting adjuncts, made
all feel that however free silver
might affect the country the " un
limited coinage " of pot-pie wns
wholly free from any objectionable
results, and moreover indispensable
to satisfy an inward longing, which
editors are not presumed to gratify
at will, and only when some pitying
friends bring in a woodchnck and a
peck of turnips in payment of two
yearly subscriptions.
After the supper thoso who could
indulged in dancing but such frivol
ity was incompatible with the con
dition of the eldor contingent who
found mora comfort aiding the Cu
ban revenue by the consumption of
Havanas, and mildly wondoring
whether the host in anticipation of
a cold winter had not boen moved to
supply all the needy families in
Sandyston with a feather bod apiece.
They are not satisfied over there
with moderation for we found on
starting home our wagon had been
loaded with luscious grapes, and we
have since been living in a wonder
if was not after all a premeditated
scheme to reduce the Republican
majority in Pennsylvania by ono.
A Fine service.
The Antiphonal service hold in the
Presbyterian cburch last Sabbath
evening which was due mainly to
the work of the Y. P. S. C. E. at
tracted a'large audience. Great in
terest was manifested both in the
service and its impressive lessons.
It was rondered by two choirs one
at the organ and the othor in the
gallery in the opposite end of the
Church, which engaged in respon
sive song. The singing reflected
great ' credit, on' the respective
chgirs, each, .of which rondorod
their parts with fine expression in a
very correct manner, and with an
effect that was plainly visible. TJio
subjects selected in the responsiva
readings wore woL adapted to arouse
a religious fooling, and the hearti
ness with which the large congrega
tion entered into the spirit of the oc
casion showed an appreciation of
the effort to stimulate the thoughts,
and infuse a new lifo and energy in
tho hearts of the peoplo. Such a
service undoubtly conduces to a de
votional feeling and when followed
by an effective address, cannot fail
to be productive 01 an awakening in
terest in religious matters.
Gold In Carbon.
Gold is said to have been ' discov
ered in Carbon county in Perm For
est township. Assays have boon
made of the gold quartz taken from
a shaft and slope sunk by the Penn
Mining Company which show from
$5 to 44 to the ton ore. There is a
well defined vein along the slope
which has boon followed to the
depth of BO feet, and it is intended
to sink the slope 20 feet more. The
company expects it will then show
very rich ore sufficiently so to war
rant the erection of a proper plant
for treating it.

Mr. Bryan will visit the 4th Con

that is the only part of the State the
Popocrats expect to carry. This
district is the favorite stamping
ground of the Populists and Farm

Republicans have gone over to free
silver. No doubt desperate efforts
will be made to carry it for A. W.
Cutler, who is a Farmers' Alliance
Democrat and has been a perennial
and persistent office-seeker, on all
sides of the many political issues A
strong gold sentiment is developed
in the district and sound money

which is strongly in evidence.and to
avert a Waterloo in the district it
has boen decided that Mr. Bryan
shall make several speeches Mah-

date is not at all discouraged and

Ho will make a fight with full

DISTRICT POLITICS, -sj)
The Domocratio primaries were
held in Carbon and Northampton
counties last Saturday and the con
ventions on Mondny. Full tickets
wore nominated ns follows: In
Carbon, for Congrass, Laird H. Bar
ber! representative, Jerry N.Wedor ;
register and recorder, Harry S.
Swartz ; treasurer, Dr. J. C. Crea
mer; county commissioners, John
O'Donnell and George Engian. In

W. R. Engle and David Solt.
Tho latter county elected delegates
to the Congressional Convention,
which mot at Stroudsburg Thursday
Sept. 24, at ono o'clock, and they
are said to be for Mr. Mutchlor but
he evidently has no use for tho Con
gressional nomination this year,
thinking porhnps that it will be r.
moro agroeable possession at some
future time. From the fact that
Laird H. Barber was successful in
Carbon and as he is woll known to
be a strong supporter of the North
ampton Statesman, it would seem
that Mr. Harts chances for the per
simmon are not bright. That fruit
is very astringent until after a frost
and this year even the Barber pole
may freeze bofore it can be used to
socurethe prize. Mr. Mutchlor is
on top and the nomination will so
at his bidding which fact also pres.
ages no good for Mr. Hart.
If the nomination domes to this
county it will not be because Mutch
lor has forgotten or forgiven tho al
loged wrong perpetrated two years
ago in depriving him of it, but be
cause the chances for an election are
so remote, or the opportunity to de
feat Pike s candidate too temptine.
and so put her on the shell for a gen
eration to come.
By all the rules of party usago
Pike is entitled to two terms and if
she is not accorded her rights, some
body should fool the weight of her
righteous indignation.
Meeting of Stat Committee.
A fully attended meeting of the
Republican Slate Committee was
held in Philadelphia Tuesday. Re
ports were received from every
county in the State and the tenor of
them was that there are sixteen
Democrats for McKinley to each sil
ver Republican. Promises were
made of largely increased majori
ties in all Republican counties, and
Philadelphia was put down for one
hundred thousand. In the few
usually Domocratio counties the ma
jorities it was claimed would be re
duced below those of 1894. Chair
man Elkin in his address said the
committee desired to eclipse the
highest water mark of all the great
majorities given by the party in this
State.
