STRANGE CIRCUMSTANCES. Man WJio Was With the Victim Over Night Under Arrest, But Is Not Be. lieved to be the Guilty Man Third Party is Missing. terrible murder disturbed the Sab bath quietude at Harvey's Lake. The victim was James Larkins, aged 60 years, a woodchopper.

Samuel Keller Is in the county prison, charged with having caused his death. Larkins made his home In a hut near the picnic ground.

Neighbors who responded to the calls found Larkins lying on the floor of his hut dying in a pool of blood. A few minutes after help arrived be passed away.

Death was due to terri ble injuries, he having been 'hacked about the face and body with a knife. Keller, who had called the neighbors to the place, was under the influence of liquor and his clothes was covered with blood. Tne shanty looked more like a slaughter house than a place of abode.

He was released last Friday and the next morning be started for Harvey's Lake. He went to the Harvey's Lake picnic ground, where he met Larkins, who invited him to his shanty.

After supper they sat around talking and drinking until they were all under the influence of the drink. Keller states that he then took off his coat, and, making a pillow of it. lay down to sleep for the remainder of the night. The unknown man and Lar kins were still talking when Keller re tired. He knew nothing more until he awoke in the morning at 8 o'clock.

Until late In the afternoon it was a delightful day, but then a shower blew up which spoiled It for a few hours. The day was generally observed in all the churches by special exercises and music and many charming pro grammes were rendered. At St. John's church, a special feature was made of the music, which was very fine.

The excellent choir was assisted by Rip pard's orchestra, of Wilkesbarre. At the late mass in iae morning, the choir rendered Mercadante's mass, under the direction of W. L. McDougall, in exceptionally fine style, the soloists. Misses Kearney, Margaret and Mary Joyce.
