lt.l ftoftano Sarrio of Dunmore was murdered in his barber shop on Sjtturuay night about 10: SB o'clock. Three bullets were fired into his body, any of which would have proved fatal. He died instantly. Though fully a score of men were In the barber shop when the shooting occurred, "not one attempted to capture the murderer or report the case to the polce for quite a while after occurred. The latter neglect gave the guilty parties time to elude the clutches of the law.

When Chief of Police Burke and County Detective Rafter reached the scene of the crime those in the barber shop professed Ignorance of the crime- and knowledge of who the murderers were. One of the Journeymen employed by the dead -borber gave the police the following version of the murder: "About 10:30 o'clock two strange men entered the shop and asked for the proprietor. Barrio, who was in a rear room playing cards, came, into the shop. One of the men then walked to the shop door while the other placed his hand in his Inside coat pocket as though he intended to get out a letter. In a second both men pulled revolvers and opened fire.

Three of the bullets hit their intended victim. One entered Barrio's breast, another his stomach and the third Ills neck. The police of Dunmore and the county authorities have been at work on the case ever since it was reported but up to an early hour this morning had not eucceded in capturing the murderers.

The lethargy Into which the stock market fell lat week indicated that professional short covering had been a large factor in ths rally of the week before.

The princl-ral problems in the situation being left unsolved, hesitation tUe operations. Renewal of the war "1 an wtTf -h duration. It served, however, to pro- long the deadlock in European money piarket and to renew the pull on the New York money market. Skilled estimates point to the disappearance of upwards of $200,000,000 from bank reserves through the hoarding la Austria-Hungary, France and Germany. While the basts of the currency is' thus reduced, demands for note circulation on the great central banks are larger than UBual.

ii- The IwaaVy influx of currency to New York slnoe ha maintained the ease of New York money thus far. but (he usual period of this Inflow Is now drawing to a close. The supply of money offering on call is still abundant but banks are not pressing their funds on time borrowers. Large additional exports of gold, therefore, will infallibly result in higher interest tates at an early date. Chances for the Intended new securities issues would be unfavorably affected thereby.

Within the Immediate vicinity of the stock exchange such stress is laid on the proposed regulation by statute of the stock market and flnanciai operations as a cause of the presei.t dullness and depression and speculation. Influences toward further suspense were the adjournment of the United States Supreme Court for three weeks without a. decision in Minnesota rate easK and the Jnjuna tion against the New York subway contracts. Clearing up of the uncertainty over the Union Pacific dissolution plan proved ineffective in reviving speculation.

IRON AND STEEL. Car builders placed liberal orders last week for steel bars, plates and billets some traces are-stilt pending, hut fewer for foiling stock placed; Contracts are still pending for 60,000 to 60,000 cars, half of which are likely to be placed during the current month. Orders for motive power continue unusually large. Rail contracts were light, only 4,000 tons. Greater activity was evident in steel building work throughout the country, the largest orders coming from manufacturing plants and commercial buildings.

Fabricating shops booked orders for about 32,000 tons. The Pennsylvania Steel-Co. Is to furnish 12,000 tons of steel for elevated railway extensions in this city and bids were submitted on Friday on 23,000 tons more. Postponed bids on 22,000 tons of steel for the Isthlmus of Panama will go irraext" Saturday, It is understood that the orders booked by steel corporation sub-: sidiary companies in January ever-aged about 40,000 tons day and that' the shipments exceeded the orders book by about 70,000 tons. Other steel companies report heavy specifications with large shipments, but a smaller volume of new business.

I tell you brethren, the biggest wound that religion has ever received in Wilkes-Barre la about to be administered by her friends in their mistaken idea' that this man can save their souls and their -churches." In closing he said, "I suppose that we cannot do anything to stop this impending disgrace in the name of religion to Wilkes-Barre, but we can utter, if unavailing a determined protest in the name of pure and unde-filed religion." 4 CHARLES AY ARS DEAD West Wyoming.
