Gaetono Ouerlere, a Hazleton saloonkeeper, is hovering between life and doath at the hospital In that city as the result of being shot in the neelt by his brother-in-law, Neil Larocca, during a quarrel yesterday afternoon. The wounded man was hurried to the hiirfpltal, where an effort was made to find the bullet, but without success. It is thought that, in entering the ngck, it took a deflecting course and bulged in the head. There was a gaping wound in the man's neck from which the blood flowed freely, making-the victim very weak. Larocca, with another brother, Angelo, were arrested promptly after the shooting occurred and arraigned before Aldermwi Schott, who committed them for a'further hearing on the charge of felbiiious wounding, aggravated assault; aiid battery and carrying concealed Vcapons. The shooting was the sequel to a quarrel which occurred earlier in the day. AN IMPORTANT MEETING Revealed. tiary. PLACE OF MEETING SAID TO BE ILLEGAL OPINION BY ATTORNEY MEN DEMORALIZED.

KEG FUND DECISION Washington, June 13.—Negotiations for peace have gone so far that Tokyo has named one place for the meeting of the plenipotentiaries and St. Petersburg has named another.

Until the two nations have agreed upon the place of meeting the names of the peace .envoys will not be New York, June 13.—As an important part of Ills investigation of tlie Kqultable Life Assurance society, Superintendent Hendricks of the state insurance department is likely to summon James H. Hyde and William H. Mc- Intyre, trustees of the Hyde stock, and Thomas F. K.van, head of the syndicate which has purchased it, to tell the details of the purchase.

Vladivostok, June 13.—A series of interviews with naval officers who survived the battle of the Sea of Japan has developed a sensational story of the original causes of the Itussian disaster and tile complete demoralization which followed the sinking of the flagship Kniuz Suvaroff and the wounding of Admiral Hojcstvensky. Important Order Issued by Pennsylvania Coal Co. Sad Affair Occurred in Wilkesbarre Last Evening. The appropriation of $t37,3fi0 to the penitentiary, which was reduced to $130,000 by the Governor, contained a proviso that eight hours should constitute a day's labor and that any deficiency In salaries caused by this provision may be part of the contingency fund of the institution.

Superintendent Hendricks has heard the reports that the sale of the stock was merely a temporary, expedient to still the clamor which lias arisen for a general house cleaning in the Equitable and the opinions of lawyers that the Hyde stock could not be sold legally, under the terms of the will of Henry B. Hyde, before James Ilazen Hyde's thirtieth birthday. Mother of I,arge I'amil.v, Wlio Had Colliery—Decision Important The suggestion by Japan of a place in which the plenipotentiaries should meet was received through Minister Takahira only a few minutes after Ambassador Casslni verbally expressed the desire of the St. Petersburg authorities as to thejioint where they would prefer the peace negotiations should be carried on. Japan, of course, will have the preference and as a question of courtesy may compromise with Russia and eventually select Washington. to Other Keg Funds—New Been Demented for a Couple of Order Insures Pros- Years, Managed to Fscape perous Fund at From the Wateli Placed The Inspectors recently wrote to the Governor asking whether his action extended to the proviso that eight hours should constitute a day's labor, and he referred the correspondence to Mr. Cnrson for an opinion. ISnrniiin. Executive Council of the on Her and Took Dost; An important order was recently put into effect at Harnum colliery, of the Pennsylvania Coal Co., that should prove of deep interest to all keg funds in the mining region and especially those of the Pennsylvania Coal Co. collieries, as to the latter it gives a clear insight into the manner in which keg funds are regarded by the officials of that company. The order paves the way for all keg funds to become representative of all the miners of the colliery where such organizations exist. The rule, as it affects Harnum colliery, is that hereafter the keg fund connected with the colliery will have the exclusive right to sell all powder tins handled at the colliery. The keg fund furnishes ail the miners with carrying cans, which hold enough powdor for a day's blasting. Instead of taking the "black cans" into the mine the miners use the carrying can. As soon as the large cans are empty they are held and sent to the powder company, which sends a check for tin' amount due on the tins to the treasurer of the keg fund. The efficiency of this method is increased by the fact that most of the powder companies now refuse to take powder cans from individuals. A short time the custom was mucll in vogue for miners to sell the cans to saloon keepers or to others, who would reap a small profit on them. of Carbolic Aeid. Federation of Labor.

All the stories of extensive target practice in Madagascar, It seems, were false. During the voyage there practically was no training in gunnery worthy of the name, and the big gun practice was confined to three shots a vessel. Ugly stories are told of the happenings at Madagascar. HOUSE IN THE ROAD. President San D1 (iompors and Ills The main point that stands out is the fact that President Roosevelt can assure the world that peace negotiations at'e to go on and that, despite the stories in certain misinformed newspapers, plenipotentiaries lire to be appointed representing the two empires, with power to proceed with peace negotiations and to carry the conferences to a conclusion unless it should appear in the beginning that the views of the two ministries cannot meet on the question of indemnity.

Members of her family, fearing that she would ?nd her life, kept a close watch on her, but last evening about B o'clock she managed to elude them for a few minutes. Her absence was quickly discovered. The door of her bed room was found locked and her son peered through the transom. He saw his mother lying on the bed, and, suspecting that all was not well, he forced open the door. The woman was still alive, but the deadly drug which she had taken had had its effect and she died before a physician could arrive. The deceased was 52 years of age, and she is survived by her husband and six children. The husband is a tailor in the employ of Simon Lpng's Sons. He has resided in Wilkesbarre for the past 25 years and Is .a hard-working and Industrious man. He said he had tried to raise his family the best he knew how, and that his wife's action In taking her own life was more than he could bear.

The house Is being moved Intact from Its former location a half block to a vacant lot, where a wall has been built, on which It will be set. The house now stands directly across Church street about six feet from the ground, being held up by props. It blocks the street entirely, with the exception of one sidewalk and has completely stopped wagon trafile. The house is being moved a little every day toward Its new foundation, and at the present rate will not be off the street for several days to come. The building seems to be standing the strain well and will not bo seriously damaged by the trip. Untrained In Gunnery. tCD lit!

The of witnesses will go on at the ottices of the Insurance department. This investigation will not end with the report which is expected this week, but may last until September. Because of Internal Troubles. While not said in so many words at the White House, the opinion prevails that because of internal troubles Iius-. sia, except under extreme pressure, may not care to put before the public iu an official note what its ambassador in Washington has said to the president. This situation will have to be decided by the Japanese minister. The bald fact remains that Tokyo has put Its opiuiou in a formal note, that the Russian government lias presented Its views verbally through its ambassador, that Mr. Takahira declined to accept them through the mouth of the president, tiiat Count Casslni offered a supplementary statement with the purpose of modifying Japan's attitude and that the question now rests between the president and the Japanese minister. M. E. Driseoil, Superintendent Hendricks' counsel, is drawing the report now and hopes to have it ready in a day or two, when it will be Hied at Albany. This report will cover only certain lines of the investigation, more especially those involved in the present trouble. A supplemental report probably will be made, embodying the more distinctly technical features of the investigation and those portions taken up from now on. Some ships developed deplorable structural defects. The Oslyabia sank without having a single hole below the water line. Heavy seas entered the vessel above the water line, and the water tight compartments, which were changed several times in the course of the voyage, burst, Hooding and heeling the vessel over until she turned turtle. —.ire expected to be in attendance later In the week. A lawyer closely in touch with the Equitable affairs declared that unless there was much more in the transaction than had been made public no sale of the Ilyde trust stock to Mr. Ryan and his friends could be legal. He was inclined to think that what was called a sale had been a transfer of the trust to the three trustees named by Mr. Ityan. The new order was issued as the result of a petition sent (0 General Manager May, of the Pennsylvania C'oa! i-.J.. 'Ly the Jhunam Keg Fund. The petition was presented by John A. Collier and Martin Curley about the middle of May and it contained the following facts: (1) the object of the association is to pay sick and death benefltR. (2) the association is maintained by the contribution of its members of monthly dues, the dues of those engapod in mining being paid in powder cans. (3) that some miners do not turn in their cans, to the detriment of the association. (4) that the effectual way of collecting these dues would be to have miners In the colliery use carrying cans furnished by the keg fund and to leave their black cans in the powder house for the purpose of paying their dues. (5) that a request be made by the fund to Mr. May that the powder clerk at Harnum be instructed to have carrying cans used exclusively and that the black cans be left in the powder house for payment of the miners' dues. (6) that the organization would be better enabled to carry out its work if the matter referred to would be given support and encouragement. The flrat meeting of the council was held yesterday.

Rojestvensky's position was cramped, ami his transports were badly placed and caused confusion, while the Japanese were raining projectiles even from machine guns on the Russian ships. The latter were huddled together, blanketing each other's lire. Only the leaders of the columns could bring their guns to bear, and these the untrained gunners fired wildly. Mines and floating torpedoes sown in the paths of the Russian divisions added to the confusion. The Borodino, the Admiral Xiifthlmoff and the Navarin fell victims to these obstructions.

Gaetono Ouerlere, a Hazleton saloonkeeper, is hovering between life and doath at the hospital In that city as the result of being shot in the neelt by his brother-in-law, Neil Larocca, during a quarrel yesterday afternoon. The wounded man was hurried to the hiirfpltal, where an effort was made to find the bullet, but without success. It is thought that, in entering the ngck, it took a deflecting course and bulged in the head. There was a gaping wound in the man's neck from which the blood flowed freely, making-the victim very weak. Larocca, with another brother, Angelo, were arrested promptly after the shooting occurred and arraigned before Aldermwi Schott, who committed them for a'further hearing on the charge of felbiiious wounding, aggravated assault; aiid battery and carrying concealed Vcapons. The shooting was the sequel to a quarrel which occurred earlier in the day. AN IMPORTANT MEETING Revealed. tiary. PLACE OF MEETING SAID TO BE ILLEGAL OPINION BY ATTORNEY MEN DEMORALIZED.

KEG FUND DECISION Washington, June 13.—Negotiations for peace have gone so far that Tokyo has named one place for the meeting of the plenipotentiaries and St. Petersburg has named another.

Until the two nations have agreed upon the place of meeting the names of the peace .envoys will not be New York, June 13.—As an important part of Ills investigation of tlie Kqultable Life Assurance society, Superintendent Hendricks of the state insurance department is likely to summon James H. Hyde and William H. Mc- Intyre, trustees of the Hyde stock, and Thomas F. K.van, head of the syndicate which has purchased it, to tell the details of the purchase. WOMAN ENDS HER LIFE Harrlsburg, Pa., June 13.—Attor- Attorney General Carson furnished Governor Pennypacker with an opinion that the Inspectors of the Kastern penitentiary can claim the appropriation to that institution by the last Legislature without being required to introduce Into the management the eighthour rule. Vladivostok, June 13.—A series of interviews with naval officers who survived the battle of the Sea of Japan has developed a sensational story of the original causes of the Itussian disaster and tile complete demoralization which followed the sinking of the flagship Kniuz Suvaroff and the wounding of Admiral Hojcstvensky. Important Order Issued by Pennsylvania Coal Co. Sad Affair Occurred in Wilkesbarre Last Evening. The appropriation of $t37,3fi0 to the penitentiary, which was reduced to $130,000 by the Governor, contained a proviso that eight hours should constitute a day's labor and that any deficiency In salaries caused by this provision may be part of the contingency fund of the institution.

Superintendent Hendricks has heard the reports that the sale of the stock was merely a temporary, expedient to still the clamor which lias arisen for a general house cleaning in the Equitable and the opinions of lawyers that the Hyde stock could not be sold legally, under the terms of the will of Henry B. Hyde, before James Ilazen Hyde's thirtieth birthday. Mother of I,arge I'amil.v, Wlio Had Colliery—Decision Important The suggestion by Japan of a place in which the plenipotentiaries should meet was received through Minister Takahira only a few minutes after Ambassador Casslni verbally expressed the desire of the St. Petersburg authorities as to thejioint where they would prefer the peace negotiations should be carried on. Japan, of course, will have the preference and as a question of courtesy may compromise with Russia and eventually select Washington. to Other Keg Funds—New Been Demented for a Couple of Order Insures Pros- Years, Managed to Fscape perous Fund at From the Wateli Placed The Inspectors recently wrote to the Governor asking whether his action extended to the proviso that eight hours should constitute a day's labor, and he referred the correspondence to Mr. Cnrson for an opinion. ISnrniiin. Executive Council of the on Her and Took Dost; An important order was recently put into effect at Harnum colliery, of the Pennsylvania Coal Co., that should prove of deep interest to all keg funds in the mining region and especially those of the Pennsylvania Coal Co. collieries, as to the latter it gives a clear insight into the manner in which keg funds are regarded by the officials of that company. The order paves the way for all keg funds to become representative of all the miners of the colliery where such organizations exist. The rule, as it affects Harnum colliery, is that hereafter the keg fund connected with the colliery will have the exclusive right to sell all powder tins handled at the colliery. The keg fund furnishes ail the miners with carrying cans, which hold enough powdor for a day's blasting. Instead of taking the "black cans" into the mine the miners use the carrying can. As soon as the large cans are empty they are held and sent to the powder company, which sends a check for tin' amount due on the tins to the treasurer of the keg fund. The efficiency of this method is increased by the fact that most of the powder companies now refuse to take powder cans from individuals. A short time the custom was mucll in vogue for miners to sell the cans to saloon keepers or to others, who would reap a small profit on them. of Carbolic Aeid. Federation of Labor.

One stipulation in the agreement of sale, it was asserted, was that the names of the persons associated with Air. Hyan should not become public. All the stories of extensive target practice in Madagascar, It seems, were false. During the voyage there practically was no training in gunnery worthy of the name, and the big gun practice was confined to three shots a vessel. Ugly stories are told of the happenings at Madagascar. HOUSE IN THE ROAD. President San D1 (iompors and Ills The main point that stands out is the fact that President Roosevelt can assure the world that peace negotiations at'e to go on and that, despite the stories in certain misinformed newspapers, plenipotentiaries lire to be appointed representing the two empires, with power to proceed with peace negotiations and to carry the conferences to a conclusion unless it should appear in the beginning that the views of the two ministries cannot meet on the question of indemnity.

Members of her family, fearing that she would ?nd her life, kept a close watch on her, but last evening about B o'clock she managed to elude them for a few minutes. Her absence was quickly discovered. The door of her bed room was found locked and her son peered through the transom. He saw his mother lying on the bed, and, suspecting that all was not well, he forced open the door. The woman was still alive, but the deadly drug which she had taken had had its effect and she died before a physician could arrive. The deceased was 52 years of age, and she is survived by her husband and six children. The husband is a tailor in the employ of Simon Lpng's Sons. He has resided in Wilkesbarre for the past 25 years and Is .a hard-working and Industrious man. He said he had tried to raise his family the best he knew how, and that his wife's action In taking her own life was more than he could bear.

Father Rrehl, pastor of St. Mary's of the Assumption church. The house was sold recently, as the congregation intends erecting a new edifice on the site formerly occupied by the old one. The house Is being moved Intact from Its former location a half block to a vacant lot, where a wall has been built, on which It will be set. The house now stands directly across Church street about six feet from the ground, being held up by props. It blocks the street entirely, with the exception of one sidewalk and has completely stopped wagon trafile. The house is being moved a little every day toward Its new foundation, and at the present rate will not be off the street for several days to come. The building seems to be standing the strain well and will not bo seriously damaged by the trip. Untrained In Gunnery. tCD lit!

The of witnesses will go on at the ottices of the Insurance department. This investigation will not end with the report which is expected this week, but may last until September. Because of Internal Troubles. While not said in so many words at the White House, the opinion prevails that because of internal troubles Iius-. sia, except under extreme pressure, may not care to put before the public iu an official note what its ambassador in Washington has said to the president. This situation will have to be decided by the Japanese minister. The bald fact remains that Tokyo has put Its opiuiou in a formal note, that the Russian government lias presented Its views verbally through its ambassador, that Mr. Takahira declined to accept them through the mouth of the president, tiiat Count Casslni offered a supplementary statement with the purpose of modifying Japan's attitude and that the question now rests between the president and the Japanese minister. M. E. Driseoil, Superintendent Hendricks' counsel, is drawing the report now and hopes to have it ready in a day or two, when it will be Hied at Albany. This report will cover only certain lines of the investigation, more especially those involved in the present trouble. A supplemental report probably will be made, embodying the more distinctly technical features of the investigation and those portions taken up from now on. Some ships developed deplorable structural defects. The Oslyabia sank without having a single hole below the water line. Heavy seas entered the vessel above the water line, and the water tight compartments, which were changed several times in the course of the voyage, burst, Hooding and heeling the vessel over until she turned turtle. —.ire expected to be in attendance later In the week. A lawyer closely in touch with the Equitable affairs declared that unless there was much more in the transaction than had been made public no sale of the Ilyde trust stock to Mr. Ryan and his friends could be legal. He was inclined to think that what was called a sale had been a transfer of the trust to the three trustees named by Mr. Ityan. The new order was issued as the result of a petition sent (0 General Manager May, of the Pennsylvania C'oa! i-.J.. 'Ly the Jhunam Keg Fund. The petition was presented by John A. Collier and Martin Curley about the middle of May and it contained the following facts: (1) the object of the association is to pay sick and death benefltR. (2) the association is maintained by the contribution of its members of monthly dues, the dues of those engapod in mining being paid in powder cans. (3) that some miners do not turn in their cans, to the detriment of the association. (4) that the effectual way of collecting these dues would be to have miners In the colliery use carrying cans furnished by the keg fund and to leave their black cans in the powder house for the purpose of paying their dues. (5) that a request be made by the fund to Mr. May that the powder clerk at Harnum be instructed to have carrying cans used exclusively and that the black cans be left in the powder house for payment of the miners' dues. (6) that the organization would be better enabled to carry out its work if the matter referred to would be given support and encouragement. The flrat meeting of the council was held yesterday.

There seems to be an agreement, although not a combination one, between Japan and Russia as to the undeslrabillty of Washington, but not from any political point of view.

Rojestvensky's position was cramped, ami his transports were badly placed and caused confusion, while the Japanese were raining projectiles even from machine guns on the Russian ships. The latter were huddled together, blanketing each other's lire. Only the leaders of the columns could bring their guns to bear, and these the untrained gunners fired wildly. Mines and floating torpedoes sown in the paths of the Russian divisions added to the confusion. The Borodino, the Admiral Xiifthlmoff and the Navarin fell victims to these obstructions.
