Pittston is a city now and old things ar passlng away. This week has witnessed besides the abandonment of the borongbgov ernment the demolition of one of the old est buildings in the city, formerly kuown a the Union Hotel, on the east side of North Main street, just bnliw Maj John B. Smith's brick block. During a conver eation with Major Smith who, by the way, Is getting around nicely after a three months' siege with illness It was learned tbat the Union Hotel was the third build ing erected in Pittston. Major Smith's old frame building, which gave way to his present brick structure some years ago, was tbe first.

This was built in If 15. Then came the old Eagle Hotel building, erected by George Lazarus, and third, in 1817, tbe Union Hotel building. The latter, which has just passed away, was erected by Stephen Sawyer, a Meshoppen build tf, for Frederick Helf, who occupied it as a restaurant. Five years after it was erected, an addition was built, and it was at this time that th large stone beer vanlt in the cellar now exposed to view, was built. In it was stored for many years beer brought from the ichatd brewery in Wilkeebarre.

Helf kept the place some fifteen years, and It was a popular re, ort for the men of tbe town a hull for dancing, on the second fl jor.and billard tables adding to the allure ments of tbe bar. Helf, it seems, was con siderable of a wag, and Major Smith en joj ed a hearty laugh at his expense as he told how Hei and a fiiend endeavored to trap tbe Mnj with a dnmmy figure placed iu the coal shed, euppos to represent a nnkuown thief who had been helping him self to the Mi. rs coal. Tbe Ma'or suspected the plot, and cutting the rope bv which the plotters expected to operate the dommy, he carried away the prize to bis cellar, and thus got possession of Helf. beat sait and reweet boots which had con tribnted to the make np of the figure.

Nut content with this "beat" the Ut ytt, on night during a tremendoun storm tha' flooded Helt's cellar called him ont of be with the startling intelligence that thieve were in the cellar Helf, armed with a stout poker, rnsbed into he cellar way li his night clothes, only to II mnder aNmt ii four feet of ice cold watdr aud realize iha he had been hoax d. Helf held the Uuloi. Hotel property until 1864, when he sold i' to John Rader, and moved to Cbilllcothe, Missouri, where he still resides, according to a man who told D. Bosaard tbat met him there a few weeks ago Johi Rader, now a resident of Wllkesbarre, held the property until recently, when it wa purchased by Corcoran Brothers, who have demolished the rickety old bnilding and will erect in its place a floe brict structure Captain Solomon Sturmer, another old timer, who, though seventy years of age, gets around almost as energetically as a boy of sixteen, also has an Interesting story to tell of the times when be and Hel1 were yonng men, starting in life. Captali Stnrmer came to Pittston in 1849 He had arrived in this country from Germany the previous year, first locating in the lit 1 village of Glenwood, Susquehanna county, the home of Galnsha A.

Grow Setting np a little shop there, he boarded with Mr. Grow's widowed mother, and frequently he gave tbe future states nan t. hand in the field Later, Captain Stnr raor W' nt toCatbonda ai finally landed here in '49 He and Helf were close friends, as well as comrades in one i the militia comnanles which was organized four or five years previous to the breaking out of the war. Helf was captain of the Pit tit on Artillery Company and was after ward promoted to the office of major in the Luzerne regiment. Sturmer was a lieutenant, and at the outbreak of the war he became captain, taking out tbe company with the first call for troops.

Captain Stnrmer will enjoy the jokes recalled by Major Smith, for he remembers stine'ly the Incidents, and can give nimy others, no doubt, showing how popular Fred. Helf was with the "town boys" of his day. TUE JURV DISAGREES. Result ot the Dickinson Case Announced Wednesday Morning. At six a.

HE TOOK FOUR OTHERS WITH Hilt They Beat a Keeper and Made Their Waj Out Through a Scuttle Perry'a Remark, able Attempt to Rob a New York Central Train and Ills Flight on a Locomotive.

Pottghkeepbie, N. April 11. Perry, the train robber, whose exploits a few ypars ago, while trying to rob tht oar of the American Express company on tin New York Central railroad, caused great excitement at the time, with four othei inmates of the Matteawan State asylum, escaped from that institution at a lata hour last night. They assaulted a keeper and got away through tho scuttle The names of th men are McGuiro, O'Donnell, Quigleyand Davis. All wero dressed alike.

Additional details of the escape of Train Robber Perry show that he was the ringi leader of a plot which resulted ia freeing TRAIN BOBBER PERRY. at least four and possibly five other per sons. Tlley overpowered, bound and gag ed a watchman and then made the best of their way through the chapel of the ln sane asylum. The patients occupied different cells; and it is a mystery to the management the way they succeeded in laying their plans. From the chapel they made their way to the attic of one of the buildings.

From this attic they were easily able to scale one of the fences. Just as they were getting outside the walls they were discovered by an outside guard; who fired several shots at them. It is known that the following inmates escaped: Oliver Curtis Perry of Syracuse, Patrick Maguiro of New York city, Ml chaol O'Donnell of Brooklyn, Frank Davis of New York and John Quigley ol Brooklyn. The authorities at once gave the alarm and instituted a search for the escaped inmates. They have an idea that possibly one of these men is concealed in tha chapel or in the attic of one of the buildings, as sounds were heard after the guard fired at those who succeeded in getting outside of the walls.

The guard is positive that he saw at least three men running away, and four, including Perry, are missing from thoir rooms. Terry's Daring Attempt at Train Robbery. Perry tried to rob the American Express company's special train on Sunday, Feb. 21, 1892. One car of tho train was known as tho money car.

In it is sent the specie from tho United States treasury for western banks. The train left Syracuse at 5 o'o'ock in the morning. The money car was next to tho rear coach. When they were nearing Weedsport, Perry, who had ridden on top of the money car from Syracuse, let himself over the side of the car by means of a rope. He smashed in the glass with bis revolver and ordered the mossenger to throw up his hands.

The messenger shot at Perry. Than Perry shot him twice. Perry climbed into the car, and there was a desperate fight. The conductor heard the row and stopped the train. Then he looked out Perry looked out the express car whon the train stopped, saw the conductor and shot at him.

Tho conductor sent a brakeman back to Jordan to telegraph along the line that they had a train robber on board. Then they went on to Port Byron. They stopped at Port Byron and took care of the messenger, who was badly wounded. Perry had disappeared. At Lyons, whero the next stop was made, there was a big crowd.

Perry was In the crowd. He had evidently eot off the fur ther side of the train whon it stood in the station. The conductor recognized him and made a rush for him. Perry kept the crowd back with his revolver and ran across the tracks to where a coal train was standing. He uncoupled the engine and jumped into the cab and ordered the engineer and fireman to get out of sight Then he pull eft the throttle open aud sailed away.

The express train's engine was uncoupled, and a party started after him. When they were about to overtake him, he stopped his engine, reversed It and started back. As he passed his pursuers, who were on another track, he flrod two shots through the cab window. Tbe pursuing engine was reversed and backed aftor him. Perry went ahead again.

As he passed his pursuers this time he shot through the cab again. The men on the pursuing engine fonnd they could not catch him and went back to Lyons. Perry found the steam giving out and abandonod the engine. He then started across country. Finally he was captured at Newark.

He was afterward convicted and sentenced to Auburn prisou for a long term of years. He had sorved about a year and a half when ha was transferred to Matteawan as Incurably insane. Fayne to Leave the TJ. P. Portlasd, April 11.

The provisions had meanwhile given ont, and tne Dnyg, having no money, sent the little girl to town to get eatables at the stores, promising to pay when the mother returned, but Bhe was unable to get any oread. The girl then remembered that her mother had been baking the day before 4nd they looked through ths pantry bnt conld find no bread They thought this strange, ut npon opening the oven door, found the loaves burned to a crisp. The children nld not cut the bread with an ordinary knife, so tbe eldest boy procured saw and cnt the loaf in halves. They then eat the centre of the loaf, which was quite soft. On Sunday morning, Frank, the 10 year old lad, in going thr ugh one of tbe rooms.

discoveied his mother's best clothes, and communicated this faot to the Carichner. They thought this strange, and instituted a search of the premises, in cluding the cittern, but failed to find any trace of fonl play. The door leading from the main portion of the house into a small sitting room, was found locked, and upon going to the front porch, on whioh the windows of the room opened, the shutters were fonnd closely drawn. The boy Frank succeeded In turn iug the slats of one of the shutters, and, as there were no curtains on the window, he was enabled thns to look into room. In the middle of the fl xr, under the side win dow, he saw the carpet thrown over some thing that resembled a human form.

Mr, Carichner and Jacob Schmal'z also looked in, and then the horrible truth dawned upon them. Going to the door, they forced it opan easily, and when they raised the carpet, it lay the lifeless body of Mrs. Windish. She lay face downward, revealing the back of the head, which was pon ided to a pnlp and ont of whloh the brains had oczed. It was a horrible sight, and the men quickly covered the remains with the trpet.

The village was soon aroused, and In a short time the house was surrounded by a curious crowd. A number of the villagers hastened to town and spread the news of the awfnl crime. Drs. MoFadden and Barrett repaired to the honse and examined the body. They fonnd the skull crushed by a blow over the right eye, and seventeen distinct wounds at tne back of the bead In a corner lay a carpenter's steel chisel, with a wooden handle, about 18 inches long and inch blade, with which the bmta had committed the bloody deed.

In room at the rear, his rubber boots, covered with blood, were found under the bed, and the clothes he had on when he killed his wife, were found between the springs and mattress of the bed, Blood was spattered ai! over tbe loom in which the body was found, and in the sit ting room at the rear, blood spots were die covered on tbe wall and window, above a lonnge.

Ceorge Windish After Mai treating His Wife for Years. Completes His Brutality Toward the Poor Soul By Beating Her Brains Cut With a Chisel in Mid day After Their Daughter Hsd Gone to ichool.

O.ie of the most horrible of the long lis uf b'ood? crimes that nave been committee In this county during the past few year was discovered Sunday morning, whei the lifeleea tody of Mrs. Elizabeth Wind ish, wife of George WisdUh, was fonnd lying nnder the carpet of a small ittiug room of their home li I am town, where it bad lain In a pool of blood fcince Thursday noon of last week, when, as near aa can learned, the husband, in a fit of anger "truck her over the left eye with a car penter'4 chisel, li fl cting a fatal wonnd, and then, to make eureof his bloody work, stooped over her prostrate fo and ponbded her over the bead with the blunt Instrument nutli the ains oozed ont npon the fl or. Such, in brief, is the terrible orlme that threw the Inhabitants of thai quiet and peaceful village, and, indeed, thtr whole section of the county, into a state ol xpeechlfeB horror, Sunday morning. When a Gazrttb reporter reached the acene of the awfnl tragedy, lfonday morn ing, crepe npon a door of one of tbe prettl st of the cottages of that village. was the grim sign that Indicated that that was the place where the brntal crime was en cted.

Tbe doors were closed and the shutters st enred, and there was not a soul ahout the place. Across the way, on the porch of another preUy cottage, were a knot of men, women and children looking more gloomy in the morning's dreary rain. From these, the neighbors of the Wlndishee, the reporter learned the particulars. The murdered woman was 49 years old, an 3 her hnsuand, three years her senior. Mrs.

Windish's maiden name was El'za beth Roth She was born In Germany, bnt when a young girl came to this country, and made her home at Hazleton. Here she met Wlndleb, and they were mtiried twenty five ye ago. Two years later Windish left her, came to this place, located at Himtown, and passed as a single man. In a short while, she lecated him ure, and came and joined him. Bat tbfy never lived happily together Se was ngly to ber, and she led a wretched life.

Sie bore bis ill treatment with great patience, though, and did every thing within her power, to make their horn pacefnl and happy, bnt the devil as in his, and the more she endeavored to please him, the uglier and more brntal became. Windish worked in No I (haft quite regnlarly and spent much Uis money in drink. Mrs. Wiudlih always worked a small "ruck warden, and cold the vegetables here tml at Avoca, ottnn making thiee and four trips to town with her basket. In this way "he laid away a nr at sum of money, acd fourteen years ago, they purchased the Adam Rupp farm, one of the prettiest par of laud In Hamtown.

It adjoins tht John Boohtold property, on Centre street, They I ad five children, bnt the two o'dtt died in their infancy, and tbe surviving cMl are, George, 16 years; Ciank, 12 years; Sophia, 10 years. Tbe two biys work in the breaker, a the li tie girl went to school. The children lve a terrible account of the brn'al man uer in which the fa her treated thei; mother; the mlghbors, too, kuew of hi uglinws toward her. Many times the woman was forced to leave the honse and seek refuse with the neighbors. Sometimes, they say, at tin dead honr of night, ihe would be compel'cd to fly from the honse, aud wonll tna'ch ap a few clothes, and lay down in the shed or npon the cia tern.

Windlnh was always growllrg about money matters, and, it is said, a few yean Hgo, thinking to pacify him, she signed over her interest In the property 'o blm. He made several trip to his home in Germany, and II is said she gave him the money to de fray the expenses of the trip. He made the last trip last summer. She was to have gone with him, bnt at the last moment, he put her ff, saying he wonld send for her After reaching Germany, he said the season there was very nnhealtby, that it was very wet and damp, and that she had better remain at borne. She nnrer heard from blm again, nntll he one day stepped into the house.

To make up for his failure In taking her to Germany, a few weeks later he took her on an exonrslen to Niagara Falls Often she offered him money to go away, which he would ta'e, and after a few days or weeks, would return. She wonid go away herself sometimes to escape his bru tallty, aud then he wonld go from the honse, leaving the children to shift for themselves. So that it was no common thing for the parents to be away for days at a time. Thus matters went along nntll ket week Windish was about town, endeavoring to raise $300 on the property and Mrs Win dish, hearing of this, went to the parties he was likely to apply to, and asked them not to advance the money. Two years ago he bad raised $300 on the property, to go.
