Bradford County Murderer Expiates His Crime. y According to a statement made by a well known miner, he saw a Hungarian miner make seven attempts to discharge a blast in a nearby slope. Giving up in despair the foreigner approached the American miner and asked him to assist in firing the blast. The American miner made an investigation and found that the reason the foreigner was unable to discharge the blast was that In each instance he refused to bite the end of the squill which Is customary previous to lighting It. Last evening, while coming from Mountain Park to Ashley, passenger train No. 7, of the Central R. B. of New Jersey, almost ran into a herd of cows near Whiskejf Htli. When the en-t glneer saw the cows crossing the track he slowed down and by doing so probably prevented a derailment and possibly a serious accident. One of the cows-was struck and killed, and was thrown on the other track. The train was stopped and trainmen removed the carcass from the track just as a coal train came along. This piece of road for about a mile on each side of Whisky Hill is known among railroad men as a dangerous place, as many cows are kept in the vicinity. They are continually on the tracks, so trainmen are always on the lookout In order to prevent accidents. Union Pacific Stock. . SCHIFF INTERROGATED WILL SUE PACKERS. ANOTHER CONFESSION.

As he was Jumping from an engine on which he had been riding his foot struck one end of a board. The other end was forced up quickly and struck him a very severe blow. He was removed to his home and will be confined for some time. Politicians of state aud national prominence have sought to hold up these prosecutions aud have gone to the length of making tin-eats that political vrtigeance would be visited upon the commissioner and his agents if the cases were pressed. High Muss. Mr. Harriman showed the agreement to District Attorney Jerome and told him that all Ills other papers and books were in the hands of his counsel, Judge Lovett, whom he would Instruct to produce them at any time when they might be desirod.

J., have attracted large throngs to each service. His text last evening was, "This is My Body." If was listened to by a congregation that packed the church to the doors. Rev. Father Donnelly is a very eloquent speaker and hsl sermon last evening was a fine exposition of one of the greatest of the Catholic doctrines. Father Donnelly's sermon this evening will VDe on "Perseverance." Many people from this city have attended the services. Father, Mother and Two Small Daugh- ters Partook of the Poisonous Vegetable by Mlstijke for Mush- rooms and Died Witliin a Short Time. In letters written to his office in this city Dr. Warren has given instructions that no attention is to be paid to these threats and that the are to he pushed vigorously ntta to the limit of the commission's resources. Subsequently the district attorney went to the office of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and saw there Jacob H. Schiff. Mr. Schiff, who was examined at some length lu regard to the syndicate agreement by the superintendent of insurance, went over the details of the transaction with Mr. Jerome. George Miller, of Fulton street, is laid up from a severe injury to his right hand, received while he was working on a pump. He was repairing the piece of machinery, when his hand became caught and was badly squeezed. He is being attended by Dr. Dively. The meeting of the two monarchs naturally caused intense Interest in diplomatic circles. Iu some quarters there is a disposition to attach the deepest political significance to it, and all sorts of theories are advanced, but they are largely speculative. Philadelphia, July 25.—Toadstools mixed with mushrooms and enten at a birthday party ha* caused the death of four of the six members of the family of Joseph Rrenzor, a farmer, who resided near Lnndlsville, N. J. The dead are: Joseph Frenzor, aged 38 years; his wife, ascd 30. and two daughters aped 7 and 2 j»ars. The remaining members of the family, two boys aged 5 and 4 years owe their lives to the fact that they did not partake of the poisonous mixture. Last night Johnson gave a sealed statement to the clergyman who has been waiting on him during the past few weeks. In this statement, he declares that although he planned the murder, the actual killing was done by his mother and brother Charles. Thus he corroborates his original confession In regard to the crime, and denies the confession which he Is alleged to have made a few days ago. when he declared that ho alone had killed his wife and niece and set fire to the house In which the crime was committed. Samples upon which the cases are to be made were bought principally in the counties of Dauphin, Allegheny, Huntingdon, Philadelphia and Lycoming. It has been decided that the first prosecutions shall be made here. Syndicate Agreement. A young son of Mr. and Mrs. John Connell, Jr., of Upper Plttstoil, received a severe cut on his head yesterday by falling. Several stitches wero required to close the wound. No mutter what the ultimate result may be, however, all the diplomats agree that Its first effect would aid peace, as Emperor William is known to be strongly of the opinion that Emperor Nicholas should conclude peace. This is the first time that any Equitable Investigator has been able to comparc a verbal account of the syndicate transaction with the agreement itself, as Mr. Schiff and Jame.4 II. Hyde, when they were under examination by Mr. Hendricks, both referred their questioner to Mr. Ilarrimun for the agreement Itself. Companies Implicated. The samples taken Include meats shippdd into the_ state by Armour & Co., the Schwarzsehlld-Sulzberger company, Nelson Morris & Co., the Cudahy Tacking company and the Hammond company. GASOLENE EXPLOSION. Frenzor was a mk»«r at Leadville, Colo. Last March ' a purchased a liO-acre farm near Landisviile with money provided by the wife's brother, who is at Leadville, Among the things he raided was a small Quantity of mushroj»»ns. Last Friday a week, the famMy decided to have, a birthday party in honor of the two-year-old daughter. MushVpoms was one of the dishes to be served and the 7-year-old daugh tor said she knew wiere mushrooms could be found in the woods nearby. She gathered some of the fungi and the mother, supposing they were! mushrooms, aooed them to the mushrooms taken from their own soil. Only the members of the family were present and only four of the six ate mushrooms. To Block Great Britain. DESPERADOES ESCAPED In diplomatic quarters not exactly friendly to Germany there is a disposition to suspect the German euiperor of trying to bring about an alliance between Germany and Russia, not only to block the attempt which Great Britain is believed to be making to isolate Germany through her understanding with France and then later perhaps through an understanding with Russia, but for the mutual protection of the monarchical system. Two Children Burned to Death in Braddock. The scaffold on which Johnson was hanged was borrowed from Luzerne county and Is the one on which "Red Nose Mike" and other Luzerne murderers expiated their crimes. Today's execution was the fourth known to have taken place in the history of Bradford county. There had not been a hanging In the county before since 1875. The Dnlon Pacific syndicate agreement has vied with the $C!8rD,000 loan which the Mercantile Trust company made to James W. Alexander and Thomas D. Jordan as trustees for the distinction of being the most mysterious feature of recent Equitable developments. It was got up early iu 1003, and the records of the Equitable society, to which Mr. Hendricks had reference in Ills examination of Mr. Schiff and others in the matter, showed that on Jan. 22 the Equitable paid to Kuhn, Loeb & Co. .$5(10,000 for $rD00,- 000 of the stock, on Feb. 1(1 $000,000 for $000,(100 of the stock mm! on July 20,1004, $270,000 for $.180,000 of stock. While it is certain that prosecutions will be ordered from the office of the commission this week, no indication has been given as to the couipany which will be attacked first. Five Men Break From an Ohio Jail. Mother of the Family and a Daughter Were so lladly Burned That It is Dr. Warren was seen on his way through here front Portland, Ore., to his home in West Chester. He was surprised that any inkling of his plan to light the beef trust had got out.

Mr. Schiff under examination said that the records of the Roclety must be false in these entries. Inasmuch as his flrni had never sold any Union Pacific preferred to the Equitable, but only to Jaines H. Ilyde, who, Mr. Scliiff supposed. must have transferred ills interest to the society.

Bradford County Murderer Expiates His Crime. y According to a statement made by a well known miner, he saw a Hungarian miner make seven attempts to discharge a blast in a nearby slope. Giving up in despair the foreigner approached the American miner and asked him to assist in firing the blast. The American miner made an investigation and found that the reason the foreigner was unable to discharge the blast was that In each instance he refused to bite the end of the squill which Is customary previous to lighting It. Last evening, while coming from Mountain Park to Ashley, passenger train No. 7, of the Central R. B. of New Jersey, almost ran into a herd of cows near Whiskejf Htli. When the en-t glneer saw the cows crossing the track he slowed down and by doing so probably prevented a derailment and possibly a serious accident. One of the cows-was struck and killed, and was thrown on the other track. The train was stopped and trainmen removed the carcass from the track just as a coal train came along. This piece of road for about a mile on each side of Whisky Hill is known among railroad men as a dangerous place, as many cows are kept in the vicinity. They are continually on the tracks, so trainmen are always on the lookout In order to prevent accidents. Union Pacific Stock. . SCHIFF INTERROGATED WILL SUE PACKERS. ANOTHER CONFESSION.

It is said that the game has worked very well and at least eight saloon keepers in Hazleton, Preeland, Glen Lyon and Edwardsville have been worked for various amounts. If the fellow is caught no leniency will be shown him and he will be pushed to the full extent of the law.

About 300 persons witnessed It. A host of people gathered in Towanda this morning, and there was a big demand for admission to the jail yard, but only 300 were admitted.

As he was Jumping from an engine on which he had been riding his foot struck one end of a board. The other end was forced up quickly and struck him a very severe blow. He was removed to his home and will be confined for some time. Politicians of state aud national prominence have sought to hold up these prosecutions aud have gone to the length of making tin-eats that political vrtigeance would be visited upon the commissioner and his agents if the cases were pressed. High Muss. Mr. Harriman showed the agreement to District Attorney Jerome and told him that all Ills other papers and books were in the hands of his counsel, Judge Lovett, whom he would Instruct to produce them at any time when they might be desirod. Forty hours devotions In St. Mark's church, Inkerman, will be brought to a close tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, with a high mass. The last evening service will be held this evening at 7:30. The first mass tomorrow morning will be at 5 o'clock. An Instruction will be given following both 5 o'clock and 8 o'clock masses. The sermons by Rev. Father Donnelly, S. J., have attracted large throngs to each service. His text last evening was, "This is My Body." If was listened to by a congregation that packed the church to the doors. Rev. Father Donnelly is a very eloquent speaker and hsl sermon last evening was a fine exposition of one of the greatest of the Catholic doctrines. Father Donnelly's sermon this evening will VDe on "Perseverance." Many people from this city have attended the services. Father, Mother and Two Small Daugh- ters Partook of the Poisonous Vegetable by Mlstijke for Mush- rooms and Died Witliin a Short Time. In letters written to his office in this city Dr. Warren has given instructions that no attention is to be paid to these threats and that the are to he pushed vigorously ntta to the limit of the commission's resources. Subsequently the district attorney went to the office of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and saw there Jacob H. Schiff. Mr. Schiff, who was examined at some length lu regard to the syndicate agreement by the superintendent of insurance, went over the details of the transaction with Mr. Jerome. George Miller, of Fulton street, is laid up from a severe injury to his right hand, received while he was working on a pump. He was repairing the piece of machinery, when his hand became caught and was badly squeezed. He is being attended by Dr. Dively. The meeting of the two monarchs naturally caused intense Interest in diplomatic circles. Iu some quarters there is a disposition to attach the deepest political significance to it, and all sorts of theories are advanced, but they are largely speculative. Philadelphia, July 25.—Toadstools mixed with mushrooms and enten at a birthday party ha* caused the death of four of the six members of the family of Joseph Rrenzor, a farmer, who resided near Lnndlsville, N. J. The dead are: Joseph Frenzor, aged 38 years; his wife, ascd 30. and two daughters aped 7 and 2 j»ars. The remaining members of the family, two boys aged 5 and 4 years owe their lives to the fact that they did not partake of the poisonous mixture. Last night Johnson gave a sealed statement to the clergyman who has been waiting on him during the past few weeks. In this statement, he declares that although he planned the murder, the actual killing was done by his mother and brother Charles. Thus he corroborates his original confession In regard to the crime, and denies the confession which he Is alleged to have made a few days ago. when he declared that ho alone had killed his wife and niece and set fire to the house In which the crime was committed. Samples upon which the cases are to be made were bought principally in the counties of Dauphin, Allegheny, Huntingdon, Philadelphia and Lycoming. It has been decided that the first prosecutions shall be made here. Syndicate Agreement. A young son of Mr. and Mrs. John Connell, Jr., of Upper Plttstoil, received a severe cut on his head yesterday by falling. Several stitches wero required to close the wound. No mutter what the ultimate result may be, however, all the diplomats agree that Its first effect would aid peace, as Emperor William is known to be strongly of the opinion that Emperor Nicholas should conclude peace. This is the first time that any Equitable Investigator has been able to comparc a verbal account of the syndicate transaction with the agreement itself, as Mr. Schiff and Jame.4 II. Hyde, when they were under examination by Mr. Hendricks, both referred their questioner to Mr. Ilarrimun for the agreement Itself. Companies Implicated. The samples taken Include meats shippdd into the_ state by Armour & Co., the Schwarzsehlld-Sulzberger company, Nelson Morris & Co., the Cudahy Tacking company and the Hammond company. GASOLENE EXPLOSION. Frenzor was a mk»«r at Leadville, Colo. Last March ' a purchased a liO-acre farm near Landisviile with money provided by the wife's brother, who is at Leadville, Among the things he raided was a small Quantity of mushroj»»ns. Last Friday a week, the famMy decided to have, a birthday party in honor of the two-year-old daughter. MushVpoms was one of the dishes to be served and the 7-year-old daugh tor said she knew wiere mushrooms could be found in the woods nearby. She gathered some of the fungi and the mother, supposing they were! mushrooms, aooed them to the mushrooms taken from their own soil. Only the members of the family were present and only four of the six ate mushrooms. To Block Great Britain. DESPERADOES ESCAPED In diplomatic quarters not exactly friendly to Germany there is a disposition to suspect the German euiperor of trying to bring about an alliance between Germany and Russia, not only to block the attempt which Great Britain is believed to be making to isolate Germany through her understanding with France and then later perhaps through an understanding with Russia, but for the mutual protection of the monarchical system. Two Children Burned to Death in Braddock. The scaffold on which Johnson was hanged was borrowed from Luzerne county and Is the one on which "Red Nose Mike" and other Luzerne murderers expiated their crimes. Today's execution was the fourth known to have taken place in the history of Bradford county. There had not been a hanging In the county before since 1875. The Dnlon Pacific syndicate agreement has vied with the $C!8rD,000 loan which the Mercantile Trust company made to James W. Alexander and Thomas D. Jordan as trustees for the distinction of being the most mysterious feature of recent Equitable developments. It was got up early iu 1003, and the records of the Equitable society, to which Mr. Hendricks had reference in Ills examination of Mr. Schiff and others in the matter, showed that on Jan. 22 the Equitable paid to Kuhn, Loeb & Co. .$5(10,000 for $rD00,- 000 of the stock, on Feb. 1(1 $000,000 for $000,(100 of the stock mm! on July 20,1004, $270,000 for $.180,000 of stock. While it is certain that prosecutions will be ordered from the office of the commission this week, no indication has been given as to the couipany which will be attacked first. Five Men Break From an Ohio Jail. Mother of the Family and a Daughter Were so lladly Burned That It is Dr. Warren was seen on his way through here front Portland, Ore., to his home in West Chester. He was surprised that any inkling of his plan to light the beef trust had got out.

Mr. Schiff under examination said that the records of the Roclety must be false in these entries. Inasmuch as his flrni had never sold any Union Pacific preferred to the Equitable, but only to Jaines H. Ilyde, who, Mr. Scliiff supposed. must have transferred ills interest to the society.
