AVOCA. John Blahovitz, a Slavonian aged about 30 years, and man led, died very suddenly on Thursday evening at his boarding house on York avenue. The immediate cause of his death is not yet known and will probably not be until the coroner investigates. Some time ago this man left this section and had considerable money. He was riding on a coal train on the Ontario and Western railroad from Scranton.

On the train he met Shannon, the robber who was shot while trying to burglarize the Peckville depot. Shannon, together with his pals, attacked Blahovitz and relieved him of his money, then threw him down an embankment near Carbondale, where they left him to die. He was found next morning with his lower limbs frozen. He was removed to the Lackawanna hospital, where it was found necessary to amputate one of his feet. A few days after his arrival at the hospital Shannon was taken in wounded and Blahovitz at once recognized him as the man who assaulted and robbed him.

Blahovitz remained in the hospital about six weeks and since being discharged has not been able to do any kind of manual labor. His death is probably due to the injuries received when assaulted.

'Monie of this place, in which he branded two items which were written by the Moosic correspondent and published in The Republican, as gross misrepresentations. Every statement made by me to The Republican I wish to stand by as far as they were told to me.

The item was not in any manner the guess work of my own, but as given to me by two reliable men. I called upon my informants last evening and they told the same story as was stated in The Republican. I have nothing to say about Mr. Monie's propositions to the hose cleaning committee about the three quarter inch pipe. I did not say anything about it in any of the two statements made by me.

Any such proposition was nothing new, as the company themselves held the same matter under advisement for some time. Mr. Monie also says that a committee of the hose company waited upon him. That is true, and he complied with all of their requests. 'Then, that is just what I stated.

I would further say that the committee who waited upon him was expressly appointed for the purpose of adjusting matters regarding his attack upon the two members for the use of the fire plug on the evening the cleaning committee were in the discharge of their duties. This can be plainly seen upon the minutes of the hose meeting, when the committee was appointed to wait upon Mr. Monie to have the question adjusted regarding the water and their use of it. Mr. Monie appeared to be astonished at the item as the committee knew nothing about it, he said.

Did not some of them say that the item might not have come officially from thm, but perhaps from Others of the company when you ask them the question? In conversation with the (majority of them they stated that the article which was published at that time expressed their feelings. It is not our purpose to have things twisted as others would apparently like to see them. The able correspondent, as he was termed, will always endeavor to tell things truthfully when given to him from any reliable standpoint. THE SCRANTON REPUBLICAN, SATURDAY, AUGUST 5. 1899.
