FIRST EDITION. THE FRYE MYSTERY SOLVED. TWO ITALIANS AKD A. GEEBK GUILTTONES; the Two of iha Enrderers Arrested Confession of One of Italians The Stolen Property Recovered The Victim Sfc4fc With a Pair of Scissors MURDER. The Guilty iu the Hand of the Offl 5 cers.

A dispatch of 'last night from Boston says Through the untiring labors of Officers James Wood and John Howard the murderers of Mr. Joseph F. Frye have been secured, at last. They were arrested yesterday. One of the men, Antonio Ardito, is a Greek, and the other, Nicolo In fantino, is a Sicilian.

The Greek has been in this country only about two months, having fled from Italy after committing a murder. He was employed in the barber shop at No. 12 Fleet street, and Infantino, a youth of sixteen, was employed in the barber shop at No. 33 Causeway street for about two years. The officers learned before the arrest that Infantino, although meek in appearance, is possessed of a bad temper at times, as well as of a most stolid disposition.

They also found that Mr. Frye during the past six months had been in the habit of calling at the Causeway street shop to get shaved, and seemed to have a decided preference for the young Sicilian, who invariably shaved him. They became quite intimate, and Mr. Frye frequently invited the young man to his residence. Infantino on the occasion of these visits frequently played billiards with Mr.

Frye, and partook of his hospitality in other ways. Ue became impressed with Mr. Frye importance a quently spoke of hi: Beacon Hill, seeming fact that he wasMhough. wealth, andfre quaintance on pride in the much of by such a person. The officers were in search yesterday of another Sicilian, Sari Shevaro, employed at No.

12 Fleet street, and known as "Larry O'Neal," but without success. He is known as a desperate character. Late last night Infantino gave the officers information which finally led to their becoming possessed of all the facts of the murder, which proves to have been one of the most cold. blooded ever committed in this State. Ifappears that it was ananged between the two Sicilians and the Greek to rob the house and to murder Mr.

Frye, in order to get possession the money he was supposed to carry in his pocket. They believed him to be very wealthy, and that there was a probability of his carrying arms. During the evening of the murder Infantino and Mr. Frye played billiards in the upper room, while the Greek (Ardito) amused himself by playing on the piano; at intervals all the three men took something to drink. Between eleven and twelve o'clock Infantino, acting under instructions from the Greek, urged Mr.

Frye to visit various parts of the hou33 for the purpose of showing it to them. This request Mr. Frye did not at first seem willing to grant, but after considerable persuasion he finally consented, and the three men started down stairs to the basement. As soon as Mr. Frye reached the bottom of the cellar stairs the Greek, who was in front, turned and grabbed him with the fe rocity of a tiger.

Ardito was armed with a pair of scissors, with which he immediately commenced inflicting the wounds which were found on the body. Mr. Frye made a desperate resistance, and, while being stabbed to death, he tried to shake hands with the boy, asking him in the most piteous manner to spare his life. The Greek then ordered the boy to shoot Mr. Frye, threatening to kill him if he did not do so.

The boy fired, and the victim fell on his face, uttering a single cry. After rifling the pockets of the murdered man, and taking from him his gold watch, chain, seal and keys, they left the body where it had fiallen and immediately went upstairs to see what they could find worth stealing. After rifling the sate they lelt the house, leaving the doors in the condition the let ter carrier found them. AVhen the Greek and Italian came out of Mr. Frye's house "Larry," who had remained outside, had disappeared.

On Friday morning the three men divided the stolen property. Infantino and the Greek took equal parts of the sil ver, and "Larry" received the watch, chain ana seal, in hiding their plunder the mur derers were aided by Danato, the keeper of No. 12 Fleet street, and a Green street barber. To day the police recovered the property. The officers who made the arrest say that information from a variety of sources satisfied them that a number of young men were in the habit, of visiting Mr.

Frye's residence, and fifteen or sixteen of these were found and closely questioned, but it was satisiactorily demonstrated that none of these, who formed the respectable section of Mr. Frye's numerous guests, were implicated. TKKKIBLK ON THE MATTEK HOEN. A dispatch from London says: Regarding the accident to William O. Mosely, a a young physician ot Boston, Massachusetts, whose death, while descending the Matter horn, was announced by telegraph from Zermatt, Switzerland, on the 15th instant, the Geneva correspondent of the Times writes as follows: "Dr.

Mosely had safely accompiisned tne ascent 01 the Matterhorn. On returning, and when near the cabin which is used as a resting place, he loosened himself from the rope uniting him to his companion. lie had hardly done so when he made a false step, lost his footing, and glided rapidly down the steep ice slope, making frantic efforts to stop himself by grasping at project ing rocks. The next moment he disap peared over the precipice, falling on the glacier opposite Riffel, between Hoezenli and the St. Theodoli Pass, where the body lies, completely stripped of clothing by the rapidity of its descent.

The body can be distinctly seen from below lying on a pro jecting ledge of ice. An expedition for the recovery 01 tne body was to start on Saturday morning. COAL BURNERS' WAR FIVE MEN KILLED. A ,1 .1. uispawu irom jureKa, says: "'1 lie coal war has broken out afresh.

E. GAMP MEETING. Camp Ground Near Oakvtlle, August 20th, 1879. Yesterday was the great day at tne camp, ine clock experience meeting was led by Rev. M.

L. Ganoe, of your city, and resulted in a grand old fash ioned Methodist hand shaking. Rev. Ga i noe believes in religious shaking as a means of grace. This closing up of the morning prayer meeting will long be remembered by all who participated in it, and left the meeting in excellent frame for the solemn sacramental service which followed the morning sermon.

Rev. J. A. Price was the preacher of the morning. He took for his theme, how the Christian could know God through Jesus Christ his Son.

Eulogies of this excellent sermon would be vain, they would utterly fail; it was one of those sermons when heard are never forgotten. Thomas Myers, John Stiny, D. Hartman, F. Dyson and J. A.

M'Keehan then joined in the consecration of the elements, when thirty two ministers, many of them accom panied with then? wives, jomed in the communion service. The very large number of communicants which followed revealed the fact that almost all the large congregation were professors of religion. At half past one clock there were three services: a children meeting in the tabernacle, a young people's meeting in the New Cumberland tent, led by Kev. A. Clarke, and a meeting for the promotion of holiness, in the Liverpool tent.

All these were well attended and showed an increasing tide of interest in all the services ot the camp. At 6 p. m. Kev. 1.

N. Moorehead preached an interesting sermon, and at night Rev. W. M. Riley, of Green Village, preached very ably to a large congregation.

A prayer meeting followed, when seven persons presented themselves for prayers at the altar, the largest number forward at any meeting tnusior. The quiet and orderly character of the meeting makes it most enjoyable to all pres ent, it is very tar removed from a religious picnic. It is eminently a religious meeting, and its power will be felt far and wide at the homes of people tenting here. uur Baltimore, llagcrsiown and Martins burg friends tenting here express themselves much pleased with Oakville camp meeting, and our people are delighted with their presence among us, and their quiet Christian culture and deportment, so characteristic of Maryland and Virginia Methodism, has won all hearts.

Democrats of Allegheny G.mny in Convention Eight Years for Robbery Keystone Knights of Pythias Moonshinert in Pennsylvania ALLEGHENY COUNTY DEMOCRACY. The Democratic county convention held at Pittsburg yesterday was certainly as remarkable for its proceedings as for its length.

P. Duff, on the floor ot the convention paying a glowing tribute to Judge Collier's judicial career. The Judge ba also been indorsed by the Greenbackers. The chief interest of yesterday was in the contest for judge in Common Pleas No. 2, between Thomas C.

Lazear, John M. Kennedy, Christopher Ma gee and W. A. Sipe. The national county committee on Saturday nominated Lazear, but the Democrats to day gave him the cold shoulder.

They had previously made a proposition which the Nationals rejected and now they refuse to dance to the Green backers' political bidding. Sipe, a young lawyer who studied under R. Milton Speer, has made a vigorous canvass for six months. He was unknown before that time both as a lawyer and a Democrat. His work was effective, and Democratic wire pullers commenced at too late a day to pull it down.

On the, first ballot Sipe polled 134 votes, but two less than the number required to nominate. While the second ballot was in progress, Sipe, who had been present, began manufacturing bogus credentials on country districts. Tim O'Leary saw him, yelled out to the convention, and the utmost excitement ensued. Duff, John Larkin and others charged Sipe with this singular proceeding for a candidate for the judicial ermine, and threats of ejecting him were made, but not carried into effect On the second ballot Sipe had 111 votes, six less than enough to nominate. Stephen C.

Candlcss was nominated by acclamation for prothonotary and J. Murray Carpenter for jury commissioner. The third ballot for judge, coroner and jury commissioner, which took place at midnight, resulted in the nomination of Thomas llogan for jury commissioner, but no result was reached for judge or coroner.

THE PERRY COUNTT SENSATION. Tbe Coroner's Inquest Over the Remains Found In the Cave atGlrty's Notch The Evidence Obtained No Verdict as Yet. Special Correspondence 0 the TeUgraph. Newport, August 20, 1879. The jury returned from their visit to the cave during the afternoon, after having made a thorough and full examination of it and the surrounding country.

The report they give corresponds with the description already sent you. At seven o'clock the coroner called his "good men and true" together in Centennial Hall, and proceeded with the ind 3t. Newport's interest in the affair raa evidenced by the large attendance of citizens at the inquest. ylty 'as pirtgAd a motley assemblage and mucn in the proceedings. Michael Shatto, a bosom friend of Albright, was lhe first witness sworn.

After a very few questions to the point he was allowed to go. robably they were not needed because he could say very little, and what he did say was so inconsistent and unrelia ble that no one present manifested any belief in his story. On Tuesday his attention was first attracted by a disagreeable smell, while ie was riding along the road, lie thought it peculiar and on the Saturday following while passing along the same place discovered the same offensive smell. These excited his suspicions that something was wrong, and in company with a neighbor, to whom he confided his suspicions, he visited the scene. After considerable search the cave was found and the body discovered.

Ie suspicioned it was Albright because the day before the murder he saw him hear the cave. He could not identify it, however, except by one suspender which he wore, a strap cut out of a piece of leather. He believed it to be Albright's body. The next witness was a Mr. John Noviock, who simply described the clothing of Albright, he having snown and seen him the day of the murder.

ie described him as wearing a dark suit, and with having no mustache, his lip having the appearance then of having been recently shaved. Mr. Potter next appeared and testified as follows: I reside in Juniata township; on Friday last while talking to Mr. Landis near Milford, I saw man coming along the road with valise and cane. His appearance was familiar to me, and from what I knew ot Albright and from the movements and actions of this person I believe him" to have been Albright.

I had worked with Albright, having lived in his neighborhood for pome time. It has, however, been some years since then, and I have seen him but once since. The man came up to where we were and asked us in Dutch if we spoke that lan guage, and upon receiving an afiirmativc answer asked if he was on the right road to Pittsburg; we toldhim yes, and he passed on. He was about a rod off when he spoke to us. When he passed on followed to see which way he would go.

He was ahead of me all the time. I kept him in view for a while, till upon going to the top ot a hill which he had passed over I found that he had disappeared entirely. He was going in the direc tion ot the Tuscarora mountains. 1 did not attempt to arrest him because I was afraid of him. If he had shown a pistol at any time, I would have run.

"So would if there was room," said the coroner. A little boy, Gus Liddick, was next called. He told his story in a straight forward, manly way, which carried conviction the minds of all who heard him (possibly the coroner and his jury excepted) He said: "Hive with my father in Watts township. I know the Albrights John, Charles and bam. 1 saw Sam Albright last week; I think it was Thursday.

I was go ing over to the uuttaio loclr. it was the same day mamma went to grandmother's to stay awhile. She went on a Monday and came back last Saturday. It was last Mon day she left. I was walking over the mountain along the road and through the woods.

I heard a noise and stopped. Hooked to see who it was, and saw a man come out of the woods. He looked up and down the road and saw me. He came up to me and I saw it was Sam Albrisrht. lie said to me, "Don't tell any one yon have seen mo, and the next time I see you I will pay you some money." He then ran into the woods again.

1 can nardly tell the. Albrights apart. This might have been one of the other brothers, but it was Sam who came up to meand spoke to me on the road. I saw him the Saturday before, the day of the picnic. When I saw him on the road I knew of the murder.

I knew that he had killed Miller. It was Sam Albright whom I saw. These wit nesses were all amateurs and now following them came two professionals in the shape of two desciples of Esculapius. Much interest is evinced in their evidence, as it was rumored that they would disagree. Dr.

Eby spoke first. In conversational tones he told his story. He had viewed the body. He believed it to have been that of a person who had been dead about a week or ten days, rom the circumstances as deduced by the evidence in the case and what'he had heard, if Albright had committed suicide his body would have been in the condition of the one he viewed. He discoursed upon decom position and putrefaction, and explained it so that the jury could understand and comprehend it.

In his belief it was the body of Albright. Dr. Orris followed and gave the jury much information and instruction concerning the case. He first commenced by telling the jury the pro cess of decomposition and the different causes which lead to a quicker or later commencement of decay. He quoted several cases in medical iurisprudence illus trative of his view of the case and concluded bv stating that it was not the body of Albright in his belief.

He stated that at the end of five days, admitting that Albright had shot himself. from the location of the cave, it would have been absolurely impossible for any one to have detected anv odor arising Irom it, the tendency of all gase3 being to as cend, as they are much lighter than the air which we breathe. He also said, as another fact against the supposition that Albright had committed suicide, that the hands of the dead man were open, and the pistol was Ivins in the right one. If the person had committed suicide, the pistol would have been found some dis tance from the body. It would have fallen from his hand as he would fall to the ground, or would have been grasped tight Another fact also, the doctor stated, was that the hammer rested nt upon the cartridge that had been exploded, but upon one which contained a ball.

All the chambers were loaded but one, and that contained the empty cartridge spoken of. After the Doctor had finished tho inquest adjourned for the day and the case was given to the jury. hey nave been deliberating since, but as yet have arrived at no conclusion. As this is being written it is rumored that the jury will swear additional evidence this morning, mat a man is willing to swear that he saw Albright yesterday among the mountains. If this is so it will, as a matter of course, end all queries as to whether the dead man is Albright or not.

but that question. however, is well settled in the minds of the people here. All believe it a trick sub terfuge on the part of Albright's friends to throw the officers of the law off his track for a sufficiently long time to enable him to get out 01 the neighborhood and State. 11:50 a. m.

TUB CONUUNG SfRAUUK CONTRO VKRSV. Extracts from Today's N. Y. Tribune. We liave not been much the way or defending Mr.

Conkling, and it is hardly likely now that wc shall learn the habit For that matter, wc do not sec that lie needs any particular defense. For fifty years his private character lias stood in the fiercest light without, a stain. Today no man brings a tangible accusation against him. II is most voluble assailants stop short of Uiat Even Governor Sprague makes no charge. He goes further, and declares that he has no charge to make.

Plainly Mr. Conkling has little, in the long run, to fear from attacks that dare not take tbe form of accusations. But to the hapless woman in the case they arc ruin. Do the journals that rake Rhode Island daily for scandal intend that Do they imagine a fair minded people will permit it Bear in mind, there is absolutely no shred of proof of any criminality anywhere in the case, or even a charge of it Nothing is proved but ill temper and bad manners. Are the good name, tho happiness, the whole life of a woman to be recklessly destroyed, with no greater warrant than that? Mrs.

Sprague has some right to generous treatment from the American public. She is the daughter of a man who did the country great service, and whose name is justly cherished as a part of the National renown. The very friendship which is now tortured to her discredit was formed under her father's roof, and because she was her father's daughter. 1 Icr habits, her the fatal prominence given to her great gifis and beauty are all the direct result of her father's devotion to the public duties that were laid upoa him. She has the right to look to her countrymen now for a kindly judgment, and for protection from the reckless, incessant repetition ot a deadly slander that nobody fathers and nobody believes.

Governor Sprague, too, has done the State some servire, and may well claim the chanty 01 silence, lie is a man or many generous impulses, and the misfortune which has led him into more than one unlucky public apitcarancc cntiiles him at least to be let alone. What was the matter with him tho other day everybody knows, and it is surely not a thing to engross the attention of the continent for a fortnight TUB WWNWAKU PATU. A Vouoc Girl Who lias Squandered tha Money Lett by Uer Parents and Is Now la Jail. There appeared in the dock at the Mayor's office last night a young girl arrested for disorderly conduct whose history is a strange one. Four years ago she came to this city from the vicinity of Pittsburg, where her reputation had been none of the best, and entered a notorious bagnio which liappily is now no more.

She was possessed of considerable beauty, was stylish and cay. and withal had considerable money. Soon alter she came here she recoived a remittance of several hundred dollars from her truardian. part of the proceeds of an estate left her by her parents. This she quickly squandered among her associates, the greater portion going for rum.

More money was sent her and the riotous living was continued, the girl on several occasions lieing arrested and fined for drunkenness. Finally wheu she had expended in all about $1,500 and bad seen the inside of the jail walls for drunkenness and disorderly conduct, the supply of money ceased. The love of liquor remained, however, and when she could get it she invariably became disorderly and was locked up. A charitably disposed gentleman, one time alter her release from jail, secured her a place in a good home as a domestic and she religiously abstained from whisky for over nine months, but the old demon was working in her and she gave way to temptations, got drunk and fell, and losing her place has been going down ever since, notwithstanding that efforts have Vecn made to reform her. She stood in the dock last night a mere wreck of her former beauty of face and form.

Dissipation had left its mark on the once comely face, and she swore horribly on her way to jail. Perhaps there's a moral to this, but it's a sad story all the same, and one that the reporter frequently hears in police circles. FOURTHEDITION TIIE LATEST NEWS.

What tbe Farmers Say About It Hun Arrangement are Frngresslog Character of the Exhibit to be Made. Miscellaneous consultations with many farmers at both markets, this morning, elicited the information that a general interest is felt in the Dauphin County Agricultural Society's lair, and that it is the purpose of large numbers of persons to be exhibitors. We were also informed lliat the wives and daughters of farmers take a livclr interest iu the fair, and will contribute a full share to its success. This is the most promising feature of the fair, for whatever woman lays her hand to never fails of success. It is now understood that the Cumberland Horticultural Society will exhibit iu splendid collection at this fair.

This county will be one of the principal exhibitors at the State Fair, where it will have 130 bushels of new varieties of wheat, rye and oats, with a magnificent variety of new potatoes, and all kinds of fruits, which will bo shown at the Dauphin county dir. Over sixty head of cattle hire already been entered, while a number of other herds, Dur liams and Dcvons, arc certain to be entered before the opening of tho fair. It is important that owners of herds who propose to exhibit enter them as soon after the 1st of September as possible, to enable the society to provide the necessary stall accommodation. Inquiry for space is now daily received by the secretary, all of which will be provided for, and all future inquiry will be satisfactorily answered, provided, of course, that it is made in time. The exhibit of pianos and sewing machines will occupy an exclusive building, the rivalry among dealers in these departments bc ng animated and lilicraL There, is no doubt that this feature of the fair will be very attractive.

These are all encouraging indications that the fair will be a great success. RAILROAD HOTES. The most expert telegraph operators along tho main line of the Pennsylvania railroad are girls.
