Dr. Herman Strecker, a sculptor and
entomologist of world-wide fame, died
in Reading, aged 65 years. He was 50
years in gathering his superb collection

Miss Bridget Lavelle was arrested at
Scranton charged with setting fire to her
house in that place to secure insurance
money. She was committed to jail. She
occupied the house until a few weeks
ago, when she moved all of her goods
out except a few articles of small value.
Late Thursday night, it is alleged, she
was seen entering the house and wan-
dering about in it. A short time later
flames broke out and the house had a
narrow escape from complete destruc-
tion.
As a result of the death of Miies Jen-
kins, a teamster in the employ of the
Union Tanning Company, at Hillsgrove,
all the other teamsters employed by the
company have quit work. Jenkins’
death was due to anthrax, the disease
first appearing on his neck in the form
of a small pimple. It spread rapidly,
and he died in great agony. This is the
second death from the disease among
the temsters, and the others have con-
cluded to find work elsewhere rather
than run the risk of contracting the dis-
ease.
Seven masked men broke into the
hotel of John Nealis, at Avoca, and
after beating the proprietor into insensi-
bility in his bed compelled his wife, at
the point of a revolver, to show them
where Nealis kept his money. They
made their escape with $246, two gold
watches and other jewelry. The meth-
ods of the marauders are identical with
those used in the Corcoran murder case
two years ago, and the officials believe
that the perpetrators of the two crimes
are the same.
