Scranton, Pa., Aug. 9.—The village of Edella and surrounding country, has been thrown Into a state of excitement which promises to develop a most sensational attempt at poisoning. Oyster Bay, N.

Horrible Death. A horse belonging to a Jewish peddler was killed in a most unusual manner about 3:30 this afternoon. It ran away on Market street and dashed down the hill. The driver was thrown out and injured slightly. When the animal approached Main street he dashed to one side and ran into a telegraph pole headfirst. He dropped to the ground dead, his neck having been broken. The wagon was somewhat damaged. Tlie employees of the flyers store numbered &D6.

Up until last Saturday night the Vail family were In the best of health, but after partaking of the evening meal three of them were laken so violently ill that hail it not been for the prompt application of home remedies, which stayed the effects of the poison until the arrival of Dr. Mackey, of Waverly, at least two of them would have died. * .

Mr. Loouils suid that tentative plans which he did not feel at liberty to outline have already been worked out and that reforms would be introduced gradually, beginning almost at once. Mary Ryder, agiwl 16 years, of Pleasant street, West Scranton, was crushed to death by the elevator In the Board of Trade building, Scranton, last evening about 9:80 o'clock. The unfortunate girl, accompanied by three companions, went to the Hoard of Trade building to visit Abel Davis, the young man who operates the elevator. They went up and down in the elevator a few times and then asked to see the cellar. Three of the girls in the party were being shown around the building, but Miss Ryder said she did not care to go through the bullying. She was standing In the doorway of the elevator, coaxing the other girls to come up out of the cellar, where the elevator was standing at the time. A girl named Bryant was with her. When the others of the party refused to come into the elevator, the Bryant girl, becoming impatient. thoughtlessly gave the elevator wheel a sudden twist, which started the elevator upward. The Ryder girl, who was half way In, was caught and hung on the elevator floor. Davis seemed to divine the result »of the action, and he immediately jumped up to reverse tho. vvhu'l, he could not do this before the girl had bene squeezd between the floor of tho elevator and the first floor of the building. Death was instantaneous, as the girl's neck was broken, her head smashed and the entire body crushed in a most horrible manner. When the elevator was reversed the girl must have already been dead and as soon as it started down the girf*fc body was released from its position, falling into the sump under the elevator. Davis, not knowing that the body had fallen under there, ran the machine down to the cellar, expecting to find the body there, the elevator all the time resting on the body and serving still more to crush the re- The second day's session, to take pluce tomorrow or Friday, is expected to be devoted either to a consideration of the Japanese terms or to a proposition for an armistice by the Russian plenipotentiaries.

Counterfeiters Arrested in Potteville. Yatesville's murder mystery still lacks the most Important figure In the crime, now living, the murderer, and it seems likely from the present outlook that the crime will be added to the already long list of unpunished capital offenses that have marred the upper end of the county during the past few months. The one man above all others who is being searched for Is Vincent Piolo, or Carmlni Viola, as some of his Italian acquaintances give his name, who is strongly suspected of being the man who lircd the fatal shots. Piolo has disappeared completely from sight and the efforts of the county detective and the Yatesvllle authorities have been unavailing as far as bringing out a single clue as to' what direction ho took after the shooting. The search Is being kept up and those who are looking for him have not yet given up hope of landing their man. Pottsvllle, Pa.. Aug. U.—Two supposed members of a gang of counterfeiters, who nay they secured their spurious money in Philadelphia, wero arrested near here. They are Simon Simonavage and John Zurembo. The latter already served five years In prison here for "shoving the queer" In Schuylkill county several years ago. These two men were passing half-dollars of the date of 1898, and dollars of the date of lOOO, good Imitations, upon people all through the Schuylkill valley. Zurembo had two handkerchiefs filled with the spurious coin when arrested. On the way to prison Zurembo broke from his captors three times, each time drawing a knife, the last time coming within an ace of slashing Constable Fogarty's throat. "I want to say," said Mr. Loomis, "that, while we will copy the methods of European powers in many respects, we will carefully avoid the 'red tape' in vogue in the foreign services there. We have enough of that already, and the president is particularly anxious that wherever possible it should be done away with." The circumstances of the case are as follows: Miss Stone, who is about 50 years of age. has been In the employ of Mr. Vail for the past two years, or shortly after the death of his wife. She had general supervision over the affairs of the household and seemed to get along well. About 4 months ago Guy W. Sanborn, who was married tr Mr. Vail's daughter, came with his wife and baby to reside at the house. As a consequence of this the responsibilities of Miss Stone were lessened and she openly revolted. At every opportunity she found fault and quarreled with both Sanborn and his wife. A significant threat which connects her with the poisoning is that she was heard to say on several occasions that something would happen in August. moans. The collapse was due to lhe carelessness of workmen who were digging a.subcellar as part of the preparation for extensive Improvements about the building. They dug too close to the main supports of the big structure. Tho foundation weakened, the supports buckled and in a twinkling the whole muss was hurled in a heap of ruins which reached above the level of what had been the secoud floor. Carelessness of Workmen. Replete With Ceremony. The landing and reception of the envoys was a function replote with ceremony. The dignity of the nation's salutes was contrasted with the hearty exclamations of good will on the part of the thousands of persons who thronged the streets of Portsmouth And surrounded the courthouse while Governor McLane pronounced his cordial words of welcome In an upper chamber. Will Eliminate Dead Timber. It became evident from what Mr. Loomis said that incidental to the inauguration of these reforms there would be changes In the personnel of the various bureaus of the state department at Washington and that a good deal of dead timber would be taken out in order to make room for men of Intelligence, industry and energy.The best account of what caused the accident is given by Mr. Hickory of the glass and drug department, which occupies the basement. He said: Thompson Samanskl, of Plymouth, employed as a miner in the Huttonwood colliery, of the Parrish Coal Co., was crushed to death by a fall of rock this morning. Plymouth Foreigner Killed "The workmen were sawing at a wooden floor beam which runs underneath one of the central pillars In the middle of the store. Excavation for the cellar was going on about the base of this pillar, and I believe that jarring the beam beneath It displaced the foundation of the pillar. The envoys of both Japan and Russia wore not unaffected by the demonstration of the American public. M. Witte rode through the business section of the towu with his tall silk hat raised above his head In constant acknowledgment of salutes. Ambassador Rosen, In the same carriage, was also uncovered iu honor of the cheering crowds. In the carriages following were the two Japanese envoys, and they, too, were not remiss in responding to the hurrahs of tho crowds. Three carriages were occupied by each mission, aud in the procession through the streets of Portsmouth the Russians and Japanese were given alternate positions. The first, third and tlfth carriages were Russian aud the second, fourth aud sixth Japanese. Benegno Conti, who participated in the fight preceding the murder and was later arrested, was released from the county jail shortly after noon today. He was brought before Judge Wheaton and as neither the county detective nor 'the district attorney had any interest In keeping him, except as a witness, ho was released on the furnishing of $300 ball to appear as a witness when called. His attorney, W. W. Hall, qualified as his bonds- On last Saturday evening baked apples were served at supper. This fruit was served in individual dishes. Mr. Vail and Mr. Sanborn ate heartily of it, Mrs. Sanborn taking but a small portion of one of the apples. Mr. Loomis was asked if he had discussed the Canton-IIankow railroad matter with the president. Mr. Loomis sa Id he had not. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL "Mr. Morgan find the president discussed that matter very fully," said he. "It has been known for some time that many of the American stockholders have been anxious to sell out to the Chinese government, which Is equally anxious to buy them out. At present, however, I understand Mr. Morgan absolutely controls the situation. I don't know why they should want to sell, but I have reason to believe that this government can be depended upon to protect American Interests there as elsewhere."

While Mr. Vail was taking care of the horse he was attacked In a simitar manner. Mrs. Sanborn also suffered a mild attack of the sickness, but devoted all her time in administering opiates to her husband and father. In the meantime Dr. Mackey had been summoned, and upon his arrival found Sanborn in an unconscious condition.
