County Detective Richard Jones wan present at the inquest and had stenographic notes taken of the testimony. Robert Kolinke, a driver for William Drury, and two companions had a narrow escape last night from be,lng shot by two Italians. One shot was fired at them and more would have followed had they not succeeded ih getting out of range. The young men were In the Leek Cornet band room on Railroad street, and were sitting al the front door, which is on the second floor level. Two Italians passed by the place about 9 o'clock and stood at the corner for a moment. About this time two young ladies walked up Railroad street toward their homes in Browntown and as the young men were acquainted with them they called out a greeting.

Ernest Sultzhlser, of Avoca, was Instantly killed at an early hour this morning, his life being crushed otit beneath a box car which toppled over. Hulthlser is employed as brakeman at the yard of the Erie Railroad Co., at Avoca. This morning between 6 and 6 o'clock his train crew were taking a line of empty cars into a switch at the Hillside breaker of Brown's colliery, Erie Coal Co., at North Avoca. Hulthlser was standing on top of a box car, which Jumped the track owing to the spreading of the rails. He lost his balance by the jolting of the car and fell to the ground. An instant later the car toppled over and Hulthlser was caught beneath 11 and Instantly killed, his body being badly crushed. The victim was a married man about 30 years of age and resided oil Main street. Avoca. He Is survived by a wife to whom he was married two years ago. His parents and two sisters also survive.John Chromey, a member of the Duryea borough council, was today found guilty in court of selling liquor without a license. He was not sentenced and will not be for a few days. Chromey was tried, commencing this morning, before Judge Lynch. The prosecutor was Morcha Kula, a neighbor of Chromey. The second Inquest was held in Duryea to Inquire into the death of John Pryst iezV, as. whose body was found outside his boarding house some weeks ago. At the time it was said that he had fallen from the window of his bed room and broken his neck. An Investigation revealed the fact that his skull was fractured. In a maimer that was not likely to have been caused by the fall. A number of toltnesser: were called, most of them being men who had boarded In the house outside of which the body was found. Their stories' \arled greatly, which strengthened the theory that a murder had been committed. After hearing the testimony the jury agreed that Andrew Prystaszkas came to his death by being murdered by some unknown person or persons. There is a possibility that arrests may be made In the case today. Lahore, India, Sept. 20.—The town of Baramula, in the Kashmir district, has been destroyed by fire. One thousand buildings, mostly houses, were burned down. New York, Sept. 20.—Herbert Pareons, representative in congress from this city, who with Mrs. Parsons joined the party headed by Secretary Taft and Including 'Miss Alice Roosevelt which went to the far east, has returned to New York. Mr. Parsons recited some of the incidents of the trip as far as Mnulla, where he left the party, and also told of the experiences of Mrs. Parsons and himself in a trip through part of China and through Japan. New York, Sept. 20.—One of the contributions to Insurance literature Is the publication of a circular showing that the New York Life company traveled under two flags In the Spanish-American war and tbat Its policy holders In Spain received more adequate protection than its policy holders lu the United States. It seems that when the war was on all American policies Issued provided that only one-tenth of their face value should be paid to persons Insured who should die in the military service of the United States while In the tropics, but the restriction would be waived on the payment of an extra cash payment of 5 per cent on the face value of the policy. The foreigners must have thought they were being called names for without the least warning they wheel-; ed about and both drew large revolvers from their pockets. One of them fired without any hesitation, the bullet striking the wood a short distance from the doorway. The other man raised ills hand but by this time the occupants of the room had jumped back out of range and slammed the door. No more shots were llred and the foreigners were seen to enter a email store close to the band room. Kohnke hurried down to Main street and located Officer Price, who accompanied him up to the scene of the shooting.'. The men could not be found In the vicinity and the two men decided to go up to Tedriclc street, having been Informed that the foreigners had started in that direction. There are no details as to the number of lives lost, but the presumption Is that they are numerous. The town Is a good sized one, but the Are must have almost entirely wiped It out. Two. charges were bropght against the councilman, the one on which he was convicted and one of selling liquor on Sunday. He was not found guilty on the second charge. Reports of flood and famine of a most distressing character are also coming from other parts of India. According to the evidence brought forth, on both sides, Chromey up to last April conducted a licensed saloon In the borough. He decided to move to a new location In the borough and applied for a license for the new house, insteadNof the old one. The license was refused him whereupon he moved his effects. Including his bar and its contents to his new residence and took up the sale of Intoxicants without a license. His arrest followed. HARROWING MISHAP. "The most Important news I learned during the trip," lie snkl. "was that the Chinese government is taking the same steps toward establishing a constitutional government that Japan took thirty years ago and which have aided so materially toward the development of that country. Catawissa Man 1*1 nned Fast in Coal Car—Required Six Men to Release Hint. An entirely different standard was set for the policy holders in Spain. Protection to the Spaniards went so far as to call for the isstiing of a circular announcing that all Spaniards that went to war might do so in the full knowledge that their polleles would not become void. The United States soldier was restricted to military service within the United Stateij. and the Spanish soldier was unrestricted. Marvin Grime ,of Catawlssa, had a harrowing experience yesterday while unloading a car of coal at his coal dock near the paper mill at that place. He had opened the hopper of the car, and was drawn down with the coal. As he slid through thfc hopper his body filled the opening and the coal ceased to run. His body rested on the railroad track with his head still In the car. The car moved and the hopper doors closed somewhat, binding Mr. Grimes the more firmly in Its grip. He was In this plight an hour before he was discovered. and it required the combined efforts of six men using bars to extricate him. He fortunately escaped without any serious Injury. The case was fought by both sides with much earnestness. Evan Jones represented the. commonwealth and Attorney Frank MoGulgan was for the defendant.

Revelations so astounding that they staggered even the most unscrupulous experts in the art of high finance in Wall street were made by Paul Morton, president of the Equitable Life Assurance society, in a statement Issued to the directors, in which he showed that the policy holders of the society had been fleeced out of $718,264.90 by a deal in worthless and partly worthless securities originally taken by the Western National bank on collateral loans made l»y the bank to John W.

The commltteee consists of Elmer Kunkle and William Jones. partmrnl The vigilance of Sheriff Myers, of Montour county, frustrated yesterday an attempt at a wholesale jail delivery and possible murder. There are only four prisoners In the Jail at present, and it is claimed all are Interested In the proposed jail delivery, although one of them disclaims any part In it. The prisoners are as follows: OBITUARY. tions, Fears that the strike which has been in progress in the moulding department of the Exeter Machine Works, West Pittston. would spread to the other departments have proven facts in the developments of today.' About SO inen employed in the machine department lay down their tools "I thought this fact very significant. Rnd in conversation which followed I learned from him that the step was being taken with a view to drawing tip n constitution for China when the best practical points of other constitutions hart been learned.

The commission, he said, is wholly responsible to the emperor, and I floubt if many persons outside of the commissioners themselves know of Its Patrick Walsh, one of the oldest residents of this city, died to-day shortly after noon, after a long Illness. Death was caused by general debility. The deceased was 73 years old. Ho came to America from Ireland 56 years ago and from that time on resided here. He is survived by one son, James, and two daughters, Bridget and Katie. Patrick Walsh John Jones, of Race street, has purchased as a relic, from C. H. Cutler, the only remaining iron casket of Mr. Cutler's workmanship. The coffin is of cast Iron and Is the last one manufactured In some length of time. At the time of manufacture the iron coffin was only used for contagious diseases, but substitutes having been invented there are but few of the above in this vicinity now. shortly after 10 o'clock this morning and refujsed to work. This action is said to be merely an expression of sympathy with the striking moulders. The men who quit today refused to work on castings made by the present employes of the moulding department. who have taken the place of the striking moulders. According to officials at the works the present moulding department cast about 16,- 000 pounds of metal a few days ago, and a portion of this was worked on yesterday by the machinists. The Exeter Works have been considered an open shop, and there are a number among the employes who are not members of the union. Almost every union man, it Is said, quit work this morning, but about forty employes In this department remain, most of 'them being young men who have just finished their apprenticeship, or are well advanced apprentices.

The reception will be held at the home of the bride in the afternoon. The case' of John Suckwltz, high constable of Duryea, who was charged with violation of the liquor law, was called. The prosecutor was William Posddonis, also of Duryea. When Pozidonls had Suckwttz arrested he charged him with the larceny of a sum of money also but the squire before whom the hearing was held discharged him on this charge. A verdict of not guilty was returned in the illegal selling case. Attorney W. H. Gillespie was the attorney for the defendant.

Commission Will Come Hare. The suspicions of the sheriff were aroused last Sunday when he heard peculiar noises. A hasty investigation failed to reveal anything, but later In the day the noises were heard again. The sheriff's suspicions grew stronger and with the aid of police officers a thorough Investigation was made. A startling condition was revealed. A "jimmy" and six steel sawblades were found in the bath room: six steel saw blades and a monkey wrench were found under the bed in Haiderman's cell, and in See's cell was found a saw and blade that showed hard usage. The Iron bars covering the window opposite the cell occupied by See had been cut through. Just as the officers had completed their investigation Prisoner Sees handed them a club made from the leg of a chair, and told the officers what he knew of the plot, claiming however that he was not Interested In It. On the testimony of Sees, John Seltz and Ralph Hahn, two Danville young men, were arrested on the charge of having furnished the prfe-oners with the Jail-breaking Implements. A woman who has visited the prisoners on several occasions, Is also suspected of being interested In the case. "Mr. Chung said the first visit of the commissioners would be to Japan, to which country I understand they had itnrted when our conversation took place. They will come to the United States as soon as they have finished their work In Japan.

Another feature of the revelations made by Mr. Morton Is the fact that after the Equitable society, which really had nothing to do with the deal primarily, had been protected from loss by the guarantees of Hyde, Hartley and their associates James W. Alexander, who succeeded Hyde as president of the Equitable, gave to these guarantors in the name Of the society "a release from their guarantees and saddled upon the Equitable society the sole responsibility for the bad investment. This Included $113,055 of absolutely worthless bonds and stocks taken from Young by the Western National bank.
