A quantity of dynamite Ingeniously placed in a piece of kindling wood was nearly the. cause of a serious explosion this motping. It was picked up by Harry Crane. Jn his yard on Norm&n street, Cork Lane, and just as he was about to to throw it into a stove he detected Its contents by the merest accident. Had the dynamite been placed in the stove a serous explosion would have resulted. Mr. Crane went out to his coal house this morning to get some coal, as he was returning he decided to take a stick of wood with him to place In the Are. He noticed a piece about a foot long near the coal house and picked it up, intending to burn It. As he was walking into the house he noticed what seemed to be a peculiar formation on the end of the stick. He examined It more closely and found what appeared to be a hole stopped up. Digging out the accumulation he saw a dark substance Inside. He drew a portion of It out aiid. to his surprise, discovered It was dynamite. A short distance in he found a cap to explode the substance. 'At the other end of the stick a similar condition was found. Mr. Crane is at a loss to know who pla'ced the stick In his yard and what their intention is. He has no enemies that he knows of. Thrilling Experience. Augustine. * TALKED TO NEGROES.

MURDERERS THEIR IS NO New York, Oct. 23.—Over tlie North river off Seventy-ninth street yesterday afternoon 2,000 New Yorkers saw one of the most thrilling spectacles in the history of ballooning. From the open roadway leading to the dock after a half dozen ludicrous failures a rickety, creaking, fragile aeroplane Bhot into the air as if propelled from the tntlz zle of a cannon. In the center, enmeshed iq piano wire girders and guys and a network of frail bamboo poles, clung the young aeronaut, C. K. Hamilton. With hands and legs outspread like a giant monkey, man and machine went up, propelled by nothing, but drawn by a rope attached to the stern bltts of the Moran tug Dewitt C.

Jeft at 9 o'clock and is not scheduled to make a stop of any length until he reaches Mobile today at 4:30. His day In St. Augustine was quiet. He attended services In the Presbyterian Memorial church at 11 o'clock. The pastor, the Kev. James Coffin Stout, preached from the text, "Worthy the Lamb That Was Slain." He made no reference to the president In his sermon. The church was crowded.

Luciano Parr in©, an Italian of notorious cnaracter, the alleged leacft-r of tne "tiiaCK Maim" society ot trns vicinity, a man 'nated and ieared by many Italians, was snot to death near aid nome in Browntowii Saturday ufglu about 10:30. Kour gaping vvounds in Ins boay, about whicn were dozens ol lesser wounds made wltn .small shot, were slleiil evidence of tne lerriole earnestness ol his slayers to inake him pay the penally ot a notorious leadership under which many had cnafed and many suffered si rice his advent into this locality three months •tgo. It was well for tneinselves that ills slayers made tnelr purpose sure, tor, despite an ambush, Parrlno died revolver In hand, hoping, no douot, iVlth his last breath, thai he might not die without revenge. Had an opportunity for such been given after the fatal shots were tired it would nave been useless, for his revolver nad been smashed .to with a outlet and his right arm was shattered at the.elbow. According to his wife, who was the tirst to reach the scene of the murder, Parrino was not instantly killed, but lived long enough after she reached his side to call for, a glass of water. It is doubtful, however, if he ever spoke or moved after he lurched forward, and It is likely that the story of the woman, told to the officers yesterday, Is the conception of a mini) disordered by the awful ordeal o£ being alone with the bleeding body of her husband, with the echoes of shots still ringing in her ears. Prom Parritio's wounds it would seem that he could not have moved or even spoken—'if, indeed, there was an atom of life left in his body after the fatal shots were fitted. more distant from the butcher shop, being locatid at a rather lonesome place 011 Lincoln atraet. There is no about the property, which adjoins a field, extending quite to distance to one side of the house. HjD reached a spot about ten feet from bis doorway when his assassins opened fire on him. It Is thought that he f&ust have heard a rustling or detected a form where his enemies lay ill wilt for him and pulled his revolver, :i 88jcalibre weapon, Which he held w%en the fujjllade was fired at him. Oi4e of (he bullets tore the barrel out of the gun before a chamber of the revolver was emptied. The sound of the firing was heard throughout the settlement, but those in the neighborhood paid little attention to it as shooting is frequently Indulged in by foreigners In the neighborhood. The county authorities have the case in charge. Chief of Police Loftus is working on It in the interest of County Detective Jones. So far not tlko slightest clue has been obtained that, might lead to an arrest in the case. Foot tracks at the point from which the shots were llred indicate that at least three men were there. The Italians of the. community are as usual very reticent one io a dozen can be found who will admit having had any acquaintance with the man. It is known that he had a large following throughout the city and in the suburbs. STABBINC WAS FATAL BLIND NAN FOUND DEAD As the machine dived to the right the pale faced lad in the meshes of the aeroplane jumped to the left, and vice versa. Not an instaut from the time it darted upward from the ground until it began slowly to settle into the waters of the river did that frantic battle for equilibrium and life in the aeroplttne cease.

Haven, Died Today. After visiting Mobile he will spend Tuesday at Tuskegee, Montgomery and Birmingham. Wednesday he will devote to Little Kock, Ark., and Thursday he will visit New Orleans, leaving that evening on a government vessel for Washington. Wlell Known Character 011 the Streets Tlie Deceased AVas Employed 011 the of Plttston for :i Number of Lehigh Valley Railroad and While Voices that had cheered the daring aeronaut at the first dart int« the air were stilled. Dozens of women, some of them in automobiles, others out on the river In excursion craft, turned away from the sight as Hamilton, his machine lurching and straining about under him like some strange drunken bird, danced in and out of his cage with the agility of a frightened monkey.Like a Drunken Bird. Years—Sold Lead Pencils for A mystifying incident In connection with the crime is the disappearance of Parrino's stiletto, which was found on his person after the shooting. Undertakers I .yd on & Murray placed it Is a drawer , for safe keeping, but when they looked for It last evening the knife could not toe found. As the weapons had been shown to several persons it id probable that It was stolen, possibly as a souvenir of the crime. When Parrino's clothing was searched it was found that he h,p.d $25 In bills In pocket and also carried, besides a loaded revolver and a knife, 19 loaded cartridges. Nothing else of any value was found about him. Acting aw a Peacemaker Be- a Living—Investigation tween Two Italians Re- Shows Death Was ceived a Stab Wound, Alma of Government. Accidental Frederick'poetch, aged 21 years, of White Haven, who received a deep ■stab wound In the left side of his chest from a knife in the hands of an Italian on Wednesday night, died at the WHkesbarre City hospital this morning at 3 o'clock. Doetch was employed as fireman on the Lehigh Valley railroad and the Italian who stabbed him was employed as a laborer on the gravel train. In his speech at Fort Marion th£ president dwelt on the subject of "Good Citizenship" and the aims and objects of this government. William Staples, the blind man, who had been a resident of Plttston for many years, and who had been a familiar llgure on the streets of the city, met a tragic death in Scranton, on Saturday, having been found dead in a room 011 the fifth floor of the Bank Hotel, on Lackawanna avenue. Death was caused by asphyxiation, and the indications are that it was accidental. Parrino's wife was in the house with her two children, who are little more than Infants, and was expecting her husband home. As soon as the shots were fired she rflshed from the house and found her-' husband lying 011 the ground. Her Streams arcYused several of the neighbors, who went to the house to- Investigate the shooting. When these arrived the man was dead. Mrs. who Is a small woman, young and quite good looking, was examined yesterday afternoon and said her Siusband had spoken to her and utfttftl for a drink of water. She did not sec tin- assassins leaving the scepe of the shooting."This repulse is not and never shall be a government of a plutocrat," he said. "This government is not and never shall be the government of a mob. It shall remain as it was founded In the beginning, a government of justice, through the form of law, a government wherein every man is guaranteed in his own rights and Is forbidden to wrong his neighbors." When the aeroplane reached a point estimated by its inventor and owner, Israel Ludlow, at 350 feet, the ferryboat Albany got in the course of the tug and compelled that craft to veer upstream. That left the cranky thing in the air without propelling power, and it gradually settled. As the rope became slack it fell slowly with a birdlike, swinging motion from left to right into the river. Launches, sailboats, tugs, rowboats and yachts made for the aeroplane. While at the Lehigh Valley station at White Haven it s'jems that the~Itallan with a drawn knife was chasing a railroader by the name of McCloskey. Doetch grappled v/iljh the Italian and (he two fell to the ground, when the Italian plunged the knife Into Doetch's breast. Doetch was picked up by Howard Deubler and others, who were standing near by and cared for until a doctor arrived. Staples was last seen alive 011 Friday night, when he returned to the hotel after a day spent in selling pencils on the street. He was In company with another man. He seemed to be under the influence of liquor. They both-had a .*'w CIHuks in the bar room and both went up stairs together later. His companion put him to bed and left. The dead man was of powerful physique and had handsome features. He was Ave feet seven lnchen in height and weighed about 220 pounds. Little entbuslapiu was manifested by the white residents of Jacksonville in the president's visit, taken as a whole, although there was nothing in the reception to which even Mr. Koosevelt could take exception. A dozen motives for the crime are suggested from Parrlno's reputation as a "bad man" and his alleged connection with the "Black Hand" society. Some Italians who visited the morgue yesterday actually smiled and ins of them expressed great joy that the man had been killed. He terrorized his fellow countrymen and was held in abject fear. In spite of his youth he had a police record In many states and had been arrested more than once for serious crimes. Parrlno was in New York at the time of the infamous "barrel murder," When the dismembered body of a wealthy Italian was found In a garbage barrel. He was arrested as being connected with the crime, but the police were unable to get any direct evidence against him. Some years ago he was caught at counterfeiting and "served time." A telephone message was sent to this city and Officers Price and Pendergast went to the scene of the shooting. They had the body removed to the morgue of Undertakers Lydon & Murray on South Main street. When Staples did not put iivliis appearance on Saturday the hotel people began to get suspicious und, about seven o'clock Saturday evening, the door of his room was opened after an attempt to arouse the supposed sleeper had failed. The dead body of the man was found on the bed. The room was filled with gas, which had escaped fro man open juk The only theory advanced is that tne dead man attempted to turn the gas out and turned the stopcock completely around. It. had no catch and this could easily have been done. An investigation was made and all suspicion of foul play was removed. He was later placed on a train and hurried to Wllkesbarre and was at once taken to the City hospital. HI? condition gradually grew worse and yesterday afternoon District Attorney Benjamin ..ones went to the bedside and secureu a statement from him. The statement will be used against the Italian who did the stabbing, when the case comes up for trial. Expected Machine to Collapse. Negroes of the city, on the other hand, were enthusiastic to an extreme. Between four and five thousand members of that race, men, women and children, assembled at the academy. Decorations In a negro section through which the drive extended were profuse. The launch Arcadia, owned by J. D. Roach, got there first and rescued the coatless and hatlesa but murvelously nonchalant Hamilton just as his machine was sinking under bis weight. Except the murderers themselves It Is unlikely that any one witnessed the murder. That there were at least three persons directly connected with the commission Of the crime the police are certain, anil It Is very likely that there were four. The tlrst Intimation of the crime was the report of shots, four in number, which followed one another Jn such rapid succession that they seemed almost simultaneous. No one has been found who saw the murderers sneak to the place they had llxed for the comrnisslou of their crlmn and no one saw them depart after their victim had been sacrificed. The fatal shots were tired from guns one of which at least was a muzzle loader filled with slings. .Dr. A. J. Baker, of Duryea, performed the autopsy. The body, on the right side, the right arm and the right hip, was peppered with dozens of small shot, some of which penetrated the skin ami lodged ill the liesh. It seemed that the shots had been fired at close range. In the right arm there were 25 shot marks, in the body there were many small shot wounds and four that were caused by large pieces of lead. Although scantily clad and in a chill wind, great drops of perspiration stood out on bis forehead. Speaking to the negroes the president Bikid: "I got away with it," were his first words, "but I'll never know Just bow I did It. I expected the machine to collapse under me, and I never dreamed that I would get out without falling that 350 feet Into the river. That meant my death, of course. "Do your very best to develop good teachers, to develop good preachers; preachers who shall preach to the colored man as it should be preached to the white man, that by your fruits you shall know them and that the truly religious man is the man who la decent and cleau in his private life, who is orderly and law abiding; the man who hunts down the criminal and does all he can to stop crime and wrongdoings; the man who treats his neighbor well; who Is a good man iu his own family and therefore a good man in the state. That it is what we a right to expect front the - Christian leadership which we see In the churches." Money to loan. G. B. Thompson. Heating stoves and ranges. Ash's. Water Spouts on Lake Erie. Ashtabula, O., Oct. 23.—The steamer Zellah, with the barges Ogarita and Keddingtou, cleared from this port for the upper lakes, but storm indications caused thorn to return. Three huge water spouts passed down the lake not over five miles out. Their action and the seething water at their bases could be plaiuly seen from shore, and the phenomena was watched with great interest by many. A large steamer appeared to be directly in the path of the spouts, but it passed by safely. The deceased had been a resident of Pittston for,many years, though he occasionally went to the neighboring towns for short periods. He sold lead pencils for a living, and stood 011 the street corners playing a mouth organ and singing popular songs to attract attention to his wares. He had no near relatives In this city, his wife having died several years ago and his mother about a year ago. One of the shots, probably fired from a rifle, passed entirely through the body. It entered the right breast, passed over the liver, took a downward course, cutting the spinal column and passing out below the spleen. "It was the most exciting experience I have bad in five years of ballooning, and I want no more of It. .1 was not cold, because I bad to work so hard keeping the aeroplane in its balance that the exercise warmed me. I perspired during the entire performance. If I had missed one jump or mistimed one there would have been a tragedy and I would have been the prluclpal." He has .been known to the police of,this section for some time past.' About six months ago he was arrested in Old Porge on the charge of defrauding the govfernment by selling unlicensed cigars. Chief of Police Loftus made the capture, after several secret service men had driven him from the house where he was hiding. He paid a heavy fine for this misdemeanor, which was committed in West Virginia, and then settled here. He was accused of having taken part in the extortion that was practiced on Italians in Scranton, but no evidence could be secured against him. Parrlno's body is still at Lydon Murray's morgue, no arrangements having yet been made for burial. A large shot, whtcii was a shapeless piece of lead, with jagged edges and over a half inch in diameter, penetrated the side between the eighth and ninth'rib and iodged in the liver. The other two shots took effect In the right arm. The bullet that smashed Parrlno's revolver entered the hand at the fleshy part between the thumb and first finger, tore through the hand and lodged in the wrist, from which It was removed. - The fourth bullet struek the right elbow and reduced the bones almost to a powder. Had Parrlno survived this bullet would have cost him his arm. The fourth bullet could not be found and it is possible that It entered the body. The man's face bore not the slightest scar. Parrlno, who was only about 26 yearB old, haft- lived in this vicinity for about three months. For a short time after he came here he conducted a grocery store on South Main street, nearly opposito Pine street. He then entered a cooperative association, in Browntown, and about a month ago started In the butcher business in Browntown, a short distance from 0'Sha,ughnessy's store. Between times, be had followed the occupation of huckster, selling goods from a wagon. He appeared to have quite an extensive trade 111 his last business. New Cure for Cancer.

A quantity of dynamite Ingeniously placed in a piece of kindling wood was nearly the. cause of a serious explosion this motping. It was picked up by Harry Crane. Jn his yard on Norm&n street, Cork Lane, and just as he was about to to throw it into a stove he detected Its contents by the merest accident. Had the dynamite been placed in the stove a serous explosion would have resulted. Mr. Crane went out to his coal house this morning to get some coal, as he was returning he decided to take a stick of wood with him to place In the Are. He noticed a piece about a foot long near the coal house and picked it up, intending to burn It. As he was walking into the house he noticed what seemed to be a peculiar formation on the end of the stick. He examined It more closely and found what appeared to be a hole stopped up. Digging out the accumulation he saw a dark substance Inside. He drew a portion of It out aiid. to his surprise, discovered It was dynamite. A short distance in he found a cap to explode the substance. 'At the other end of the stick a similar condition was found. Mr. Crane is at a loss to know who pla'ced the stick In his yard and what their intention is. He has no enemies that he knows of. Thrilling Experience. Augustine. * TALKED TO NEGROES.

MURDERERS THEIR IS NO New York, Oct. 23.—Over tlie North river off Seventy-ninth street yesterday afternoon 2,000 New Yorkers saw one of the most thrilling spectacles in the history of ballooning. From the open roadway leading to the dock after a half dozen ludicrous failures a rickety, creaking, fragile aeroplane Bhot into the air as if propelled from the tntlz zle of a cannon. In the center, enmeshed iq piano wire girders and guys and a network of frail bamboo poles, clung the young aeronaut, C. K. Hamilton. With hands and legs outspread like a giant monkey, man and machine went up, propelled by nothing, but drawn by a rope attached to the stern bltts of the Moran tug Dewitt C.

He made no reference to the president In his sermon. The church was crowded.

Had an opportunity for such been given after the fatal shots were tired it would nave been useless, for his revolver nad been smashed .to with a outlet and his right arm was shattered at the.elbow. According to his wife, who was the tirst to reach the scene of the murder, Parrino was not instantly killed, but lived long enough after she reached his side to call for, a glass of water. It is doubtful, however, if he ever spoke or moved after he lurched forward, and It is likely that the story of the woman, told to the officers yesterday, Is the conception of a mini) disordered by the awful ordeal o£ being alone with the bleeding body of her husband, with the echoes of shots still ringing in her ears.

Oi4e of (he bullets tore the barrel out of the gun before a chamber of the revolver was emptied. The sound of the firing was heard throughout the settlement, but those in the neighborhood paid little attention to it as shooting is frequently Indulged in by foreigners In the neighborhood. The county authorities have the case in charge. Chief of Police Loftus is working on It in the interest of County Detective Jones. So far not tlko slightest clue has been obtained that, might lead to an arrest in the case. Foot tracks at the point from which the shots were llred indicate that at least three men were there. The Italians of the. community are as usual very reticent one io a dozen can be found who will admit having had any acquaintance with the man. It is known that he had a large following throughout the city and in the suburbs. STABBINC WAS FATAL BLIND NAN FOUND DEAD As the machine dived to the right the pale faced lad in the meshes of the aeroplane jumped to the left, and vice versa.

Dozens of women, some of them in automobiles, others out on the river In excursion craft, turned away from the sight as Hamilton, his machine lurching and straining about under him like some strange drunken bird, danced in and out of his cage with the agility of a frightened monkey.Like a Drunken Bird. Years—Sold Lead Pencils for A mystifying incident In connection with the crime is the disappearance of Parrino's stiletto, which was found on his person after the shooting. Undertakers I .yd on & Murray placed it Is a drawer , for safe keeping, but when they looked for It last evening the knife could not toe found. As the weapons had been shown to several persons it id probable that It was stolen, possibly as a souvenir of the crime. When Parrino's clothing was searched it was found that he h,p.d $25 In bills In pocket and also carried, besides a loaded revolver and a knife, 19 loaded cartridges. Nothing else of any value was found about him. Acting aw a Peacemaker Be- a Living—Investigation tween Two Italians Re- Shows Death Was ceived a Stab Wound, Alma of Government. Accidental Frederick'poetch, aged 21 years, of White Haven, who received a deep ■stab wound In the left side of his chest from a knife in the hands of an Italian on Wednesday night, died at the WHkesbarre City hospital this morning at 3 o'clock. Doetch was employed as fireman on the Lehigh Valley railroad and the Italian who stabbed him was employed as a laborer on the gravel train. In his speech at Fort Marion th£ president dwelt on the subject of "Good Citizenship" and the aims and objects of this government. William Staples, the blind man, who had been a resident of Plttston for many years, and who had been a familiar llgure on the streets of the city, met a tragic death in Scranton, on Saturday, having been found dead in a room 011 the fifth floor of the Bank Hotel, on Lackawanna avenue. Death was caused by asphyxiation, and the indications are that it was accidental. Parrino's wife was in the house with her two children, who are little more than Infants, and was expecting her husband home. As soon as the shots were fired she rflshed from the house and found her-' husband lying 011 the ground. Her Streams arcYused several of the neighbors, who went to the house to- Investigate the shooting. When these arrived the man was dead. Mrs. who Is a small woman, young and quite good looking, was examined yesterday afternoon and said her Siusband had spoken to her and utfttftl for a drink of water. She did not sec tin- assassins leaving the scepe of the shooting."This repulse is not and never shall be a government of a plutocrat," he said. "This government is not and never shall be the government of a mob. It shall remain as it was founded In the beginning, a government of justice, through the form of law, a government wherein every man is guaranteed in his own rights and Is forbidden to wrong his neighbors." When the aeroplane reached a point estimated by its inventor and owner, Israel Ludlow, at 350 feet, the ferryboat Albany got in the course of the tug and compelled that craft to veer upstream. That left the cranky thing in the air without propelling power, and it gradually settled. As the rope became slack it fell slowly with a birdlike, swinging motion from left to right into the river. Launches, sailboats, tugs, rowboats and yachts made for the aeroplane. While at the Lehigh Valley station at White Haven it s'jems that the~Itallan with a drawn knife was chasing a railroader by the name of McCloskey. Doetch grappled v/iljh the Italian and (he two fell to the ground, when the Italian plunged the knife Into Doetch's breast. Doetch was picked up by Howard Deubler and others, who were standing near by and cared for until a doctor arrived. Staples was last seen alive 011 Friday night, when he returned to the hotel after a day spent in selling pencils on the street. He was In company with another man. He seemed to be under the influence of liquor. They both-had a .*'w CIHuks in the bar room and both went up stairs together later. His companion put him to bed and left. The dead man was of powerful physique and had handsome features. He was Ave feet seven lnchen in height and weighed about 220 pounds. Little entbuslapiu was manifested by the white residents of Jacksonville in the president's visit, taken as a whole, although there was nothing in the reception to which even Mr. Koosevelt could take exception. A dozen motives for the crime are suggested from Parrlno's reputation as a "bad man" and his alleged connection with the "Black Hand" society. Some Italians who visited the morgue yesterday actually smiled and ins of them expressed great joy that the man had been killed. He terrorized his fellow countrymen and was held in abject fear. In spite of his youth he had a police record In many states and had been arrested more than once for serious crimes. Parrlno was in New York at the time of the infamous "barrel murder," When the dismembered body of a wealthy Italian was found In a garbage barrel. He was arrested as being connected with the crime, but the police were unable to get any direct evidence against him. Some years ago he was caught at counterfeiting and "served time." A telephone message was sent to this city and Officers Price and Pendergast went to the scene of the shooting. They had the body removed to the morgue of Undertakers Lydon & Murray on South Main street. When Staples did not put iivliis appearance on Saturday the hotel people began to get suspicious und, about seven o'clock Saturday evening, the door of his room was opened after an attempt to arouse the supposed sleeper had failed. The dead body of the man was found on the bed. The room was filled with gas, which had escaped fro man open juk The only theory advanced is that tne dead man attempted to turn the gas out and turned the stopcock completely around. It. had no catch and this could easily have been done. An investigation was made and all suspicion of foul play was removed. He was later placed on a train and hurried to Wllkesbarre and was at once taken to the City hospital. HI? condition gradually grew worse and yesterday afternoon District Attorney Benjamin ..ones went to the bedside and secureu a statement from him. The statement will be used against the Italian who did the stabbing, when the case comes up for trial. Expected Machine to Collapse. Negroes of the city, on the other hand, were enthusiastic to an extreme. Between four and five thousand members of that race, men, women and children, assembled at the academy. Decorations In a negro section through which the drive extended were profuse. The launch Arcadia, owned by J. D. Roach, got there first and rescued the coatless and hatlesa but murvelously nonchalant Hamilton just as his machine was sinking under bis weight. Except the murderers themselves It Is unlikely that any one witnessed the murder. That there were at least three persons directly connected with the commission Of the crime the police are certain, anil It Is very likely that there were four. The tlrst Intimation of the crime was the report of shots, four in number, which followed one another Jn such rapid succession that they seemed almost simultaneous. No one has been found who saw the murderers sneak to the place they had llxed for the comrnisslou of their crlmn and no one saw them depart after their victim had been sacrificed. The fatal shots were tired from guns one of which at least was a muzzle loader filled with slings. .Dr. A. J. Baker, of Duryea, performed the autopsy. The body, on the right side, the right arm and the right hip, was peppered with dozens of small shot, some of which penetrated the skin ami lodged ill the liesh. It seemed that the shots had been fired at close range. In the right arm there were 25 shot marks, in the body there were many small shot wounds and four that were caused by large pieces of lead. Although scantily clad and in a chill wind, great drops of perspiration stood out on bis forehead. Speaking to the negroes the president Bikid: "I got away with it," were his first words, "but I'll never know Just bow I did It. I expected the machine to collapse under me, and I never dreamed that I would get out without falling that 350 feet Into the river. That meant my death, of course. "Do your very best to develop good teachers, to develop good preachers; preachers who shall preach to the colored man as it should be preached to the white man, that by your fruits you shall know them and that the truly religious man is the man who la decent and cleau in his private life, who is orderly and law abiding; the man who hunts down the criminal and does all he can to stop crime and wrongdoings; the man who treats his neighbor well; who Is a good man iu his own family and therefore a good man in the state.

Ashtabula, O., Oct. 23.—The steamer Zellah, with the barges Ogarita and Keddingtou, cleared from this port for the upper lakes, but storm indications caused thorn to return. Three huge water spouts passed down the lake not over five miles out. Their action and the seething water at their bases could be plaiuly seen from shore, and the phenomena was watched with great interest by many. A large steamer appeared to be directly in the path of the spouts, but it passed by safely. The deceased had been a resident of Pittston for,many years, though he occasionally went to the neighboring towns for short periods. He sold lead pencils for a living, and stood 011 the street corners playing a mouth organ and singing popular songs to attract attention to his wares. He had no near relatives In this city, his wife having died several years ago and his mother about a year ago. One of the shots, probably fired from a rifle, passed entirely through the body. It entered the right breast, passed over the liver, took a downward course, cutting the spinal column and passing out below the spleen. "It was the most exciting experience I have bad in five years of ballooning, and I want no more of It. .1 was not cold, because I bad to work so hard keeping the aeroplane in its balance that the exercise warmed me. I perspired during the entire performance. If I had missed one jump or mistimed one there would have been a tragedy and I would have been the prluclpal." He has .been known to the police of,this section for some time past.' About six months ago he was arrested in Old Porge on the charge of defrauding the govfernment by selling unlicensed cigars. Chief of Police Loftus made the capture, after several secret service men had driven him from the house where he was hiding. He paid a heavy fine for this misdemeanor, which was committed in West Virginia, and then settled here. He was accused of having taken part in the extortion that was practiced on Italians in Scranton, but no evidence could be secured against him. Parrlno's body is still at Lydon Murray's morgue, no arrangements having yet been made for burial. A large shot, whtcii was a shapeless piece of lead, with jagged edges and over a half inch in diameter, penetrated the side between the eighth and ninth'rib and iodged in the liver. The other two shots took effect In the right arm. The bullet that smashed Parrlno's revolver entered the hand at the fleshy part between the thumb and first finger, tore through the hand and lodged in the wrist, from which It was removed. - The fourth bullet struek the right elbow and reduced the bones almost to a powder. Had Parrlno survived this bullet would have cost him his arm. The fourth bullet could not be found and it is possible that It entered the body. The man's face bore not the slightest scar. Parrlno, who was only about 26 yearB old, haft- lived in this vicinity for about three months. For a short time after he came here he conducted a grocery store on South Main street, nearly opposito Pine street. He then entered a cooperative association, in Browntown, and about a month ago started In the butcher business in Browntown, a short distance from 0'Sha,ughnessy's store. Between times, be had followed the occupation of huckster, selling goods from a wagon. He appeared to have quite an extensive trade 111 his last business. New Cure for Cancer.
