An Italian woman named Torino, who lived at Browntown, is a patient in the Pittston hospital, suffering from a serious bullet wound, which was inflicted by her stepson, name unknown, who has since disappeared. Several weeks ago a family of three people husband, wife and sou of the man came to Browntown and located in a small house on Price street, in the center of the village. But little is known of the family by the neighbors, not even the names having become familiar with the people.

Saturday night a family quarrel occurred and the woman left home and went to a neighbor's home. Early Sunday morning she returned and the quarrel was renewed. About 9 o'clock neighbors saw the woman running from the house, followed by her stepson, who first threw stones at her and then fired a revolver. The woman fell in the road with a bullet wound in the abdomen. Neighbors came on the scene and cared for the woman.

At first she refused to go to the hospital but later was prevailed on to do so. Before being taken to that institution Dr. Byron was called to treat her Last evening she was taken to the hospital. Although the bullet has not been removed, the latest report is to the effect that the chances are good for the woman's recovery. The boy who did the shooting, who is about 20 years old, disappeared after the woman was shot.

The celebration commemorated the 51st anniversary of the organization's founding, and an additional interesting feature was the fact that a contention which for'some time has been agitating the order has been satisfactorily settled. The procession that paraded the streets of Pittston and West Pittston was a pretty spectacle, with its stirring drum beats, its numerous uniformed drill squads, its waving folds of Old Glory. The line of march, as published in the Gazette, was followed, as was also the position of the various councils. Officers and speakers in carriages were: E. S.

Deenier, of Philadelphia, state secretary; J. N. Arnold, of Philadelphia, state councillor; Mr. Lafean, of York, state vice councillor; Attorney Ellsworth, of Scranton: B. Frank Myers, past state councillor; Marvin Tettle, of Dunmore, national representative from Lackawanna county; E.

B. Baldwin, of West Pittston, chairman of the general committee. At the conclusion of the parade, the members gathered in the Lyric, where, under the direction of Chairman E. S. Baldwin, an interesting programme was carried out.

In behalf of the councils present, Mp.jor James A. Dewey, of the Ninth regiment, presented to Anthracite council, No. 4S7, of Wilkesbarre, the handsome silk flag offered to that council having the largest proportion of its active membership in line.

It must be apparent to any person therefore that the only prevention ol baldness Is the destruction of the germ which act Is successfully accomplished In one hundred per cent, of cases by the application of Newbro'a Herplclde.
