Declan Keneaiy Attempted to Kill Thomas Downes in Alder, man Buddy's Office. HER MARKSMANSHIP BAD Dec Ian Kenealy, living at 3424 Crown avenue, went before Alderman Ruddy yesterday morning and swore out a warrant for the arrest of Thomas Downes, an engineer living tit 1214 South Irving avenue, charging him with criminal assault upon Ke nealy's 17 year old daughter, Johanna. The alleged assault was commit ted during the previous evening in a lonely place on the South Side. The warrant Was placed In the hands of Constable Sheffield, who secured Downes without difficulty and brought him to the office of Alderman Ruddy on Linden street shortly after Mr. and Mrs.

Kenealy and the girl said to have been assaulted were at the office of the alderman when the constable reached there with Downes. The constable placed his prisoner just within the railing in the 'room and within a few feet of the door of the alderman's private office. Having done this task the constable started towards the rear of the room where he stood near to Mr. and Mrs. Jvenealy.

The woman, who was in tears over the outrage upon her daughter, suddenly fJW a revolver from her bosom, pointed it at the back of Downes, and fired. The bullet passed close to the arm of Downes, clipped a piece out of the plastering on the wall, and rebounded to the" other side of the room. The woman intended evidently to fire again, but. Constable Sheffield acted great promptness, threw himself upon her and boro down her arm, making the intended assassination impossible. Seeing that his wife's attempt to kill Downes had failed, 'Kenealy hurled himself upon, the pl'lsohef, caught Downes by the throat and attempted to strangle him.

Kenealy was dragged away by the alderman and others in the room and both he and his wife were placed under arrest. All present were too much excited to go on with the hearing, which was postponed until I); 30 this morning. Kenealy and wife and Downes all occupied cells at the central police station last night. Downes is a man of excellent reputation, past middle age, and suid to be married. He appeared at the hearing in company with his attorney, John P.

Quinnan. The latter was more than astounded at the sensational turn that the affair took. The revolver with which the shooting was done was of calibre size, fully eight Inches in length and evi dently built purely for business purposes. Mrs. Kenealy wept throughout the night In her cell at the police station and bitterly lamented that she had been unable to kill the assailant of her daughter.

Kenealy took mat ters more quietly, but was evidently stirred and repeated on several occasions that he Would yet have the $M5 a SHO AT ASSAILANT HER DAUGHTER 3u inuics wiuc, worm $2.50, ior 51.95 Black Peau de Chygnes 20 inches wide, worth 90c, for. 72c 27 inches wide, worth $1.25, for. 95c No Silks ever shown in this city will compare with the above in point of value.

It is claimed that she has always borne an excellent reputation in the neighborhood and that there could be no reason why she would bear false witness against Downes The South Side was last evening greatly excited over the affair. After the shooting incident, Downes had 'warrants Issued for the trfrest of Mr. and Mrs. Kenealy, charging" the woman with attempted murder, and the husband With threatening to kill. After Mrs.

Kenealy fired the it is alleged, she declared that she tame to the alderman's office for the sole purpose of killing Downes. i BELIEVES SOLDIER WILL BE RELEASED Deputy Attorney General Fleitx Cannot See How He Can Be Convicted. He Was on Sentry Duty. A case unprecedented in the history 01 the commonwealth is that In which Artnur aus worth of Pittsburg, a private in the Eighteenth regiment, has been arrested for the murder of William Durham, a striker. It is peculiar from the fact that Wadsworth killed the man in the discharge of his duty and that the state's attorney general is defending him, while the district attorney Is seeking to convict him.

On the night of October 8 Wads worth, with several other members of his company, was stationed at the home of a non union man a short distance out of Pottsville which had already been twice dynamited. On the night in (mention several men were prowling about the 'house and shots were exchanged. Suddenly, about mid night, Durham came down the road, opened the gate aiid started towards the house. He had been a soldier In the finish American, war nnd knew the duties thereof, but when halted four times, still kept on. Wadsworth fired, shooting him through the heart.

At the coroner's inquest the jury decided the. shooting had been hasty and unjustified. The mine locals then took up the case and had a warrant issued for Wadsworth's arrest. Colonel Rutledge, his commander, acting un der instructions, refused to give him up and District Attorney McLaugh lin 01 ecnuyiKin county, took out a writ of habeas corpus directed again3t Colonel Rutledge. Lieut.

Col. Oakford, judge advocate of the division; Lieutenant Colonel Elliot, adjutant general of the division; John F. Whalen, solicitor of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company, and Major McCormack, brigade judge advocate, appeared before Judge Mart at Pottsville Monday. Accompanying them was Deputy Attorney General F. W.

Fleitz, who had been especially appointed by Governor Stone. They moved to quash the writ and asked for an early hearing, dburt fixed Nov. 10 as the date for argument. Deputy Attorney General Fleitz, when seen yesterday, stated It was the first case he ever knew of that a roldler was arrested for the performance of his duty. He has no doubt, he said, but that the man will be exonerated when the case is argued.

Meanwhile, on Major General Miller's recommendation, Colonel Rut ledge has appointed Wadsworth a sergeant. FAST MAIL TO NEW ORLEANS. Schedule for the Southern's Flyer Announced. New York, Oct. 22.

CASTOR I A For Infants and Children. WILL FIGHT MALADY Medical "Society Wants Councils to Make Appropriations for Fight ing Consumption.

DISEASE IS INCREASING At a recent meeting of the Lacka anna County Medical society it wajj decided that the society should undertake in the city of Scranton an active campaign against tuberculosis, or consumption, which is the most frequent disease throughout the civilised world. It causes 150,000 deaths in tha United Slates yearly, about hi Pennsylvania! and considerably over JOO. in Scranton. In Scranton the annual rate of deaths from consumption is increasing. It causes one third of all the deaths from disease between the ages of 15 and 6o.

The society has issued the following paper regarding Its purposes Consumption Is practically never Inherited, and is not contracted simply by tftkltlg colli. It is caused by rt special germ Which Is present in the expectoration of consumptive patient. This ex ieetottitlon, if deposited in a public place or In a dwelling house, dries, the germs float In the dust, are inhaled by other people, and cause the disease in them. Thus it is that the disease is carried from one person to another. Each ease contracts tuberculosis from a previous case.

From this it follows that the (license Is distinctly preventable, and that if each patient carefully destroys his expectoration, the disease eannot spread. The expectoration should always be. deposited in a special cup containing a germicidal fluid, or in or In paper cups to be bought at drug gtore. These cups can be Immediately burned. The public rhould understand that a patient who cares for his expectoration in this way is hot a.

danger to the community. On the other hand, if hfe Is neglectful, and deposits his expectoration on clothes, floors, or walls, he is sure to Infect some of his family, his fellow workers, or any one in the community Who may breathe the dried expectoration. The greatest danger is In houses or shops where consumptives lire or arc employed. For this reason, the sanitary or hygienic arrangements of such places should be carefully supervised by the bureau of health. After the death or removal of a consumptive patient from a house, the house should always be dis infected and renovated, as otherwise the next tenants are very liable to contract the disease.

To make scrupulous care of the expec toration as general as possible and to en able people to avoid Infection where this care has not been taken, it Is very neces sary that the public should know how the disease Is contracted and how It is spread. For this reason the society Urges careful consideration of this memorial. Further, it is ready to pro Vide lecturers to club ahd societies on application to the secretary. These lec turers will carefully explain the various details connected with the matter. The knowledge that the various members of a club having such a lecture would obtain will undoubtedly prevent needless deaths from this disease.

CAN BE CCRED. Another very Important Item in the prevention of tuberculosis is the provision of sanatoria for consumptives. Contrary to the prevalent opinion, tuberculosis Is a very curable disease. Sanatoria, proper ly situated and managed, can cure over 70 per cent, of early cases, and in some cases the cure requires only from three to four months. For each 00 spent a year in sanatoria, at least two, and perhaps four, lives can be Faved, and at least four and probably more cases pre vented.

The health Of a city is always one of Its best assets. The society Urges most strongly that a sanatorium for consump tives be established either at the Hillside home or elsewhere nearby. If we had such an Institution available for the treatment near home of our own cases, It Is unquestionable that at least 10 cases a year could be cured and returned to lives of activity Instead' of lingering for months or years with a distressing illness which brings a heavy financial burden on their friends or the poor directors. Aside from the great saving of life and suffering therefore, a sanatorium for this most extensive class of diseases is a paying investment, and the need of one should receive careful consideration from county and city authorities and from philanthropic, citizens. DL'TY OF HEALTH BOARD.

The work of preventing tuberculosis falls In a large degree on the bureau of health and on municipal authorities. The recorder of the city and the supcr ntendent of the bureau of health have already given this movement, which has for Its aim the preservation of the lives and health of our citizens their hearty stipport. The society now appeals to the people to give every support and aid to the bureau of health in the part of the work which It wishes to undertake. It further appeals to the couiiell of the city to make such appropriations as the bureau may ask for. There Is no doubt that If the bureau of health is properly equipped It alono can save a score of lives a year.

And with such a return in view the refusal of appropriations can not be justified to the citizens whose lives are continually and needlessly sacrificed to a disease which municipal activity can to a great extent prevent. RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED. Considering this matter of the very first importance to the health, happiness and prosperity of this city, the society has formally embodied Its recommendation In the following resolutions: Whereas, Tuberculosis or consumption Ig an infectious disease, communlrablo from person to person, and has long been known to bo preventable to a large rle ALL THROUGH THE SYSTEM1 Catarrh spreads Like a Malignant Poison. 7 1 AH San Sons, MR. BRYAN CARLON, Sec'y of the Eccentric Engineers1 Association of N.Y.

City, with a membership of 1000 licensed engineers, also prominent In labor unions, writes from 409 Canal street, N.Y. City! Your Peruna is valuable tonic. When I get ran down, weak and lan guid, or restless at night, I take a bottle Peruna. I know no family medicine i jiikeit. I notice the effects of It mmediately.

It quiets the nerves and brings healthful sleep. It Is a reviving tonic at all times." Mr. Bryan Carlon, Congressman Romulus Z. Linney from North Carolina, writes: "My private secretary bos been using Peruna tor several weeks and I wish to testify to its great value and merits In cases of catarrh. My secre tary bad as bad a case as I ever saw ana sir.ee ne oas taken one Dome as seems like a different man.

Before be started on Peruna bis system was very much run down, and at times he could not work at all, but ever since bis first bottle be has been building up. I don't think any man who Is under a nervous strain should be without It. I cannot express the good it has done him. Romulus Z. Linney.

Peruna is not a sleep medicine. Peruna is not a nervine. Peruna is not a narcotic. Peruna does not stupefy. Does not bring about artificial rest.

Peruna helps weak nerves. Builds up broken down constitution. Brings refreshing sleep, not by producing by invigorating the nerve centers. Peruna produces a natural appetite. It strengthens the digestive power.

It fills the of nutrition and sends surging through the blood vessels tho recuperating currents of new life. It does all this by producing healthy mucoud membranes. Kree by comparatively simple measures; and, Whereas, About persons a year die in our city from tuberculosis nnd these deaths ca be reduced In a few years by 5 to per cent through proper municipal activity; therefore be it Resolved. That it Is the unanimous opinion of this society that the scope and equipment of the bureau of health should be so increased that it can take active efforts In the prevention of tuberculosis; further be It Resolved, That It is a vital necessity that tills i it should have a bacteriological laboratory under the direction of a skillful bacteriologist, whose duty it shall be to ex imine sputum for tubercle bacilli, make Wldal tests for typhoid, examine of suspected cases of diphtheria, and perform other similar duties for patients living In this city as may bo proper: further be It That Jt should be made compulsory for physicians to report cases of (Continued on Page Pour.)

For months I did not get a refreshing night's Bleep, and In the morning I was weak and drowsy. Peruna was recommended to me by a friend. Whea I bad taken four bottles of it I was a new man. The nervousness bad entirely disappeared and when I get up In the morning now I feel rested and refreshed. Peruna Is a splendid catarrhal tonic" Joseph J.

Craven. The above letter was written by Mr. Joseph J. Craven, 235 E. Seventy fourth street, N.

Y. City. Mr. Craven ia president of the Standard Association of Stationary Engineers of New York, an organization with a membership of 1500 licensed engineers. He haa been identified with labor organizations all his life.

"Peruna makes clean, strong mucous membranes in the nose, throat, stomach and digestive, organs, in this way it reaches the origin of all life, all strength and all Peruna cleanses these membranes of every vestige of catarrhal congestion. This leaves them strong and able to do their work. Then follows refreshing sleep. Then nervousness disappears. Then a man becomes confident, vigorous, hopeful and happy.

This is why it is that Peruna is the tonic of tonics. It cleanses the sources of the blood. Good, rich, red blood is the result and health follows as a natural consequence. If you do not derive prompt and satis factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad vice gratis.
