Hastening fori neighbors,' a small party was soon collected and an examination of the body was made. It was found that in addition to the cut in the neck [ the had been crushed by a blow with some * heavy, instrument, and that /either I wound was if sufficient to cause f death.' The latter of the two precluded the idea of suicide 1 and S pointed 5 unerringly to homicide,'and to the I theory that ; the man had first been felled to the earth by a blow and his throat immediately cit'v--:v THE VICTIM RECOGNIZED, - As soon as the face : could >be cleaned, it was recognized as that of James Irvin, a young man 25 years fof age, who had been employed at the Shoenberger mines, one | and !a f half,' miles from | Shoenberger station, on 3 the Pennsylvania Railroad. '■ZtpspmSif'i- ■ f . ft The remains were taken to the town of fWarriorsmark, this | morning, and an inquest was held. Irvin and Jack-" son Laporte, another' employe fat ] the mines, and a young man j of the same age,' had been in 1 the village yesterday and had passed the day I together, apparently in the most social and friehdly manner, drinking together and with others. Nothing |is t known Ito have occurred to excite any ill-feeling between them. 5; Shortly after 9 o'clock in I the evening J they, started £to 1 the mines. Not more |than | one Sof them' witnessed what occurred afterward,' or suspected it,* until | within an? hour after the occurrence, when Burket also went home and found the murdered man. f§ Daporte having . disappeared from the scene, suspicion at once { fastened upon him, ana when it was ascertained that he had not gone to the mines nor returned to Warriorsmark, it became a grave suspicion in the public mind that he was guilty of the deed. The evidence at the inquest all pointed to him as the § murderer, and the finding ,t of j the 1 jury was "that 1 Irvin came to his death. at : his , hands. <. It was reported s that *he was } seen 5 this morning in the $ neighborhood 1 of < his lather's house in : Franklin town ship,' six miles , from! the ! place where i the murder was ' committed. ! He has not been arrested. . „s THE ACCUSED OF GOOD FAMILY La porte is the 1 son tof Hon. John Laporte, an Associate Judge,' and one of the most prominent ana intelligent citizens ot the f county. The ' son has some education, and his chief employment for several years past' has , been as a clerk in stores. He was so employed in 1 this f city for a short I time about a year ago, aud 5 since that time in Tyrone. Hei had been acquiring bad habits/ his disposition was much affected by liquor, and recently he has been regarded as dangerous when under its influence. Irvin was s the only support of a I widowed | mother living at Franklinville, a few miles from the home of Judge Laporte. .. . . ' Jackson f Laporte, >. accused $ of. the murder, was brought s here 1 to-night, and is now in jail. ( He appeared this afternoon at his i father's house, ; and,' as 1 the J result I of | the I counsel i which there prevailed/ he determined to surrender himself to the authorities.' Accompanied by his father, he I went to Justice Kinch, at J Franklinville/ gave himself J np, and' was I committed |to prison. He makes no.-statement as to ' the I alleged f murder, nor lasJ, to < his I whereabouts since it3, was committed. Elmo Store The largest store in town and county !

Elmo Store sells only Honest Goods Honest Money ! We are told by the mysterious veil-lifter of our neighboring town who wants the little I would-be merchants of Punxsutawney to know itthat he has lots of "capital in the business," which fis ■ certainly a capital idea, and being an idea it is no wonder that he turns his stock over a good many times a year, and f pays his salesmen salaries to work for his benefit. , ...... * \ . The St. Elmo Store prides itself on being able to dispose of j its stock in such a manner , that we* don't get much chance f-o turn it over and over, and our salesmen are not paid with turnips and beats either.

Va., May 29.— Last evening Isaac Turner shot and instantly killed Thomas King. ; They became involved in a quarrel originating from 1 remarks a made Iby 5 King about Turners wife. They finally seperated, and going; their homes, secured tb«4r,revolvers | and started out again.< When within ten feet of each Other,f.Twoer ! fired a ? shot > at King, the bullet taking | effect $in his heart, killing j him instantly. The > murder was committed on top of Cannelton mountains. Turner if a bad | character,H and recently | came § near i killing his man with av razor. jHe ; was | arrested and. betides her 182 regular.! passengers, 2 French fishermen, the only J survivors of the crew of the French fishing bark George* Jeanne, which was sunk by the City of Rome in a collision on the banks of Newfoundland,' May 25. The names of the rescued men are Hubert Albert and Kraut ?Alphonsie J Marie. The ill-fitted bark, after she was struck sank in less than a minute, carrying down with her 24 men, only two of whom were saved. Captain R.1 D. Munro, of the City of Rome/was too much broken |upj by the remembrance of the scenes to give more than I a brief , statement.% The steamer, left Liverpool on May 20. The weather was fine until Monday, when after a ] bright | morning, a dense! fog came on. It was so thick \ that from the bow, of the steamer it was difficult to | see J one £ hundred | feet, ahead. A great ? many icebergs $ were I passed. Between 10, a. m., and 4 p. m., 58 were counted,' large f and f small. The captain asserts that the vessel's space was slackened to half» speed, and fully, realizing the \ danger, > every precaution Wss -I taken. Bells | were ;. rung ft and whistles | sounded f continuously. At 4:3o'when the * fog 1 wasfthickest, ; the men forward saw the spar and f masts of a bark appear in' the mist barely 20 feet» away. The bark lay at f anchor, and,' 4 according to the ' captain's story was not ringing its bell, or keeping a lookout. The ; signals to | reverse the engines | were fgi ven,! but J she struck the little bark, -and her iron bow cut through the George Jeanne with as little resistance J ass if she had been a piece fof cheese. % The I people on the City of Rome \ saw,l a* few barefooted Frenchmen, in blue | blouses,' running frantically forward on the bark.*? The murky .5 air 4 was filled with % their affrighted cries,' the shrill exclamations of horror from the deck of the steamer and t the I hoarse I sounding lof | the steamer's fog horn, ond then the bark went out of sight. A few spars floated on the sea and fourjmen.could be seen struggling; in the water. Life buoys were thrown Ito | them, and as soon as possible the steamer was stopped and backed to where the bark had been," and $ two | boats j were i lowered.' By this time one of the four fishermen had sunk, two were clinging to buoys and a third floated alongside } the steamer, supporting himselfby a spar. Fourth Officer Arthur C A Turner rigged a rope around his body, and, taking another rope had himself lowered to the man.' Turner succeeded In getting ] a 1 loop f about | the J Frenchman's arm and 1 neck. Strong I arms > pulled him half way up the side of the boat when the loop 'slipped'* over his head and he fell \ back into the water and sank out of sight.',! This 1 man was the captain of the George Jeanne, Joseph Lear Blondiu. In the • meantime Albert and Marie were picked up by the boats. _ i s.-> . v -T- <mu. .warn, _ - The steerage;passengers who landed from the City of Rome at Castle Garden declared with one accord that the steamer was making at least fourteen knots an hour.when the collision occurred. Every one on the George Jeanne except Marie was below. Ma-, rie sat near the stern | keeping a look-1 out. Ho | heard 1 the | whistle £of | the Rome for eight minutes before she appeared. He rang the bell of the Jeanne and kept it up, and was ringing when the Rome crashed into her. y The lost fishermen were all married. , , || Charles Morgan, a" steerage passenger, declared that i the | officers |on the bridge were watching , the passengers leaping and jumping, and % were not keeping a proper J lookout. The official log of the steamer states i that lon Monday the steamer | made 408 miles. A memorial was presented' to Captain Murriro, signed by the cabin passengers, praising his: efforts fto save : the survivors. - ' H St. I Louis, f May 29.At fa | special meeting of the Board lof Police Commissioners this afternoon a long scries of charges were preferred against Chief of Police I Harrigan, and J that\ officer was suspended pending an investigation, f and S Captain WAnton | Heubler placed in 1 charge of * the department. The charges against ■ Major Harrigan are [made tojjfit ex-Captain of £ Police Charles W. Price, who was dismissed from the force ever year ago. The charges are generally, that Chief Har£ rigan has permitted gambling-houses and lotteries to run; that he has gambled in these and other places himself and won large sums fof money; that he has 1 caused, the arrest of persons withot proper | reason,; and i done various other irregular 5, things. f Major Harrigan says the charges s are false .and cannot stand.,; ,V^ 3»;'—A® New Yorker has patented l a railroad indicator Ito be used to indicate the time at which f trains pass a i.U The t indicator "is i composed kset in a case' about jeight >ve the ground.
