Carbondale's Italian colony, which appears to be a hot bed for the Black Hand society, came in for considerable attention from the police of that city last night when a sensation was created by the arrest of four members of the Alalia society. The prisoners are members of a gang who are charged with attempting to assault Father Anthony Cerutti, pastor of Our Lady of ML Carmel church, by slashing him with a razor. On one of the prisoners was found a razor, which the police claim was to be used in carrying out the threat "to cut Father Anthony on the face." There is said to be feeling among the lawless Italians of the colony against Father Cerutti because of his zeal in organizing the St.

Joseph Protective society and his courage and zeal in attempting to purge the colony of evils wrought by the lawless element. NANTICOKE'S EPIDEMIC Stats Officers Investigating the Situation. Dr. Johnson of the State Health Board Attends Meeting of Council and School IJoard Lust Night About 200 Caises Has lleeit Six Deaths. The typhoid fever epidemic in the borough of Nanticoke has reached such proportions that the state health authorities have taken up the situation and will thoroughly investigate as to the best plan of stamping out the disease, and also endeavor to ascertain the cause.

Dr. F. C. Johnson, of the state board, has been in the borough for the past few days. Herbert iSnow, state sanitary engineer there last night and will make a thorough investigation of the water and sewerage system of the borough.

He will go to Harvey's Lake to ascertain whether or not the hotels or cottagers are running sewage into the lake. The Xanticoke health authorities and the state authorities are doing their best to cope with the situation, which appears to have reached its height. Over 10,000 dodgers have been distributed throughout the borough warning every family to boil all water and milk used. Houses where cases exist are placarded, and visiting to and fro is for bidden. A special meeting of the borough council was held last night, attended also by members of the school board and many citizens.

Plans for coping with the situation were discussed, also as to means for providing nurses and an emergency hospital. When some of those present complained of the great expense this would incur, Dr. Johnson arose and remarked: "Gentlemen, we are not dealing in dollars and cents; we are dealing In human life. At the present time, nurses are cheap at any price. I don't want to alarm the people of this bor nugh, but for God's sake get nurses and get them at once, for the patients are dying for want of proper treatment." Dr.

Johnson has secured the ser vices of Miss M. O'Halloren, of the Philadelphia hospital, and Miss Clo rinda Thomas, of Harrisburg, who ar rived in Xanticoke lats night, and will take a hand in caring for the sick Miss West, of the Wilkesbarre City hospital, has volunteered to forego a vacation and assist in the work.

Presence of Mind of Guard Curbs Damage. New York, Sept. 12. Haunting the conscience of a single motorman who neglected to read his signals are twelve dead, eight mortally Injured and scores hurt, all of whom were crushed or mangled by a Ninth avenue local train that ran into an open switch on the tracks at Fifty third street and Ninth avenue. The second car was thrown from the tracks to the street and the third was slewed around and balanced itself across the tracks.

That all the 800 passengers were not dashed to a terrible death and that one of the most frightful catastrophes in New York's history did not occur was due to the presence of mind of the rear guard of the train, who pulled the brake. The horror of the accident is indescribable. Never had such a terrible accident occurred in this city, where the careful attention of one man to his business could have prevented the whole disaster. It was not a case of what was best to be done in supreme danger. That was the irony of it.

Simply one man failed to oley instructions. That man was Taul Kelly. He has run away. The most graphic way to describe what he did, without detracting from the tremendous horror of the affair, is to say that he played his boyhood game of "crack the whip" with 800 men, women and children. Hurled Into the Street.

Thinking he was going straight down Ninth avenue and disregarding the semaphore that told him the switch had been set for a train to run into Fifty third street, he let his train dash at full speed around a curve built only for slow speed. The weak part of the train was in the second car. That broke away and was hurled into the street. Fortunately brakes were op plied at the rear end of the train or today thousands in New York would be In mourning. The company placed the blame upon one human unit.

In pointing out that this was the first fatal accident the corporation had had in thirty five years the burden was put upon Paul Kelly, the motormau. Exoneration came to Cornelius K. Jackson of 311 West Twenty third street, who had stood in the tower at Fifty third street and read signals oh Kelly's train to the effect that he wanted to turn down the Sixth avenue line. The terrible few seconds when eat buckled on car and one car rolled over like a tenpin were unforgettable. Still more awful was the sight of the dead and mangled strewn around, when timbers were crushing the spirit out of the unconscious and the conscious.

But most shocking of all was the cowardice displayed by men in the wrecked cars, who trampled women and drove their heels into the faces of the dead and wounded in their frantic efforts tc escape. Disregarded Danger Signal. Among these cowards was Kelly himself. He was the first to escape. He had been with the company only sis months, having been hired when the strike broke out.

At one station a girl was caught in the gate, and he started the train before the signal bell rang. When he started the train out of the Fifty ninth street station lie gradually put on all the power of the motor. The train sped rapidly along. The seuia phore giving the danger warning stood out clearly In the morning mist. Bui he did not notice it.

Then the train darted off the main track and Into Fif ty third street. front car was thrown sharply nromid, the passengers on the right wore flung clear out of their seats, but that car sped safely Just at the moment It darted to the left the coupling attaching it to the 'second car broke. The second car wa. light, as it did not carry a motor. It Jumped the track, for the momentum carried It southward.

It landed on the middle track and skidded along. The third car had a motor weighing thirty tons, and that weight kept it on the Fifty third street track. So as the third car sped around it clung to the second and threw it around backward. Pandemonium Raged. Finally the coupling broke, and one end of the second car, which, twisted about like a floored tenpin, pluuged to the street below.

The other end remained on the structure. The third cai was swerved around so that its front trucks dropped to the street, crushing three men. Pandemonium raged in the second car. First the passengers were tossed like peas from one side to the other. Then amid shrieks and groans they found themselves against the roof ot the car.

The next second they were Jammed like so much grain in the end of the car which rested upon the pavement with a corner sticking into John Jones' drug store, at the southeast corner of Fifty third street and Ninth avenue. Unmaimed persons were almost suffocated. Others despite broken legs and arms fought to get out of the windows. Women were trodden undei foot or struck In the faces by men eeWng to get ahead of them. Very Pretty I'rodiictkHi Small An fUeiMV Miss Thurston is Charming as Ever.

Miss Adelaide Tliurston, of pleasant memories as Plly Primrose in a charming war comedy of the same name, was at the Broad last evening in a new role, that jof Betty Bartlett, iu a play called "the Triumph of Betty." Miss Thurston was greeted by a much smaller audience than she, her play and company deserved. "The Triumph of Betty" looked as if it had been written expressly for Miss Thurston. It had the fearless, unconventional, but charming heroine, a personality whtch seems a real pleasure to Miss Thurston and is certainly a her audience. As far as Miss Thurston's personality entered into the play, it was merely a change of locale. Betty was a counterpart of Polly and the fact that she was did not disappoint the ardent circle of her admirers the slightest particle.

As Betty, Miss Thurston was an American girl, born and raised on a ranch, educated in a boarding school and then transplanted to the atmosphere of stately English society. Her American ways, of course, gave many rude shocks to her very proper aunt and an abundant topic of conversation. But with dislikes she also attracted much of an opposite feeling, which enabled her first to do a great act of kindness for a friend and then to bring about a love climax with herself and a manly young barrister as the central figures. In largo part the play was along old lines. It was a clean and refreshing drama, however, with wholesome ideas, pretty scenes and an interesting plot.

Miss Thurston was surrounded by a thoroughly capable company. The presentation contains an air of innate refinement that marked her previous play. Of itself, the play is much behind the standard of the war piece, whose Polly was so charming. HIGH SCHOOL HONORED Scholar Wins Prize in Na tional Contest. Howell Wllliamsi.

in Shorthand Competition Takes Third Prise 75 High Schools Represented Several Thousand Contestants. Professor McGuigau, who has charge of the commercial department of the Pittston high school has received a communication 'iitim the Burrows Bros. Publishing of Cleveland, that is very gratifying to him and is a commendation of his work as an instructor. The report is to the effect that Howell Williams, this city, is the winner of third prize in a contest held last June under the auspices of the Burrows Publishing Co. The communication received by Prof.

McUuigan is as follows: 47 Talbot Cleveland, Sept. 7, '05. Dear Mr. McUuigan: The enclosed report is self explanatory. I shall mail to you today a copy jf Shorthand Dictionary, which please present to Howell Williams with my compliments and congratulations.

The work of the entire class deserves more than passing mention, and rellects great credit upon the principal of the department. Yours very truly, JAMES S. CURliY. The report states in part: "A report of the shorthand contest conducted in high schools last Juno. All papers have been carefully and impartially marked and graded and awards made as follows: First prize, Elsie Biekert, high school, AlleiUown, second prize, Ladimer Williams, South high school, Cleveland, third prize, Howell Williams, high school, Pittston, fourth prize, Jessie M.

Criss, high school. Canton, fifth prize, Agnes Calkins, high school, Muskegon, sixth prize, Alma Schmeisser, high school, West Saginaw, Mich. "All the prizes awarded were dictionaries similar to the one awarded to Mr. Williams. Seventy live high schools of the United States participated in the contest, and owing to the great number of papers examined, the report required more than two months work of the committee.

There were many' different systems of shorthand used by the hundreds of students who contested. The awarding was based on accuracy, speed and length of course in weeks. The test was given for the purpose of determining the real nature of work done in the high schools." In view of the fact that the contest was general all over the United States and that about 75 high schools Were represented by several thousand scholars, the result is very creditable to the Pittston high school. Twelve scholars in Prof. McGuigan's department took the examination.

As will be observed by reference to the communication, the contest was held in such prominent high schools as those of Cleveland, Canton, Saginaw, and tends to show that the local high school ranks with the best in the country. The Burrows books are used at the Pittston school. Notice to Property Holders.

PROBABLY LAST HEARING TODAY In the Matter of the Duryea Marshal Matter Will be Closed in the Xear Future.

A hearing is being held today in the Bennett building, Wilkesbarre. in the matter of marshaling the indebtedness of Duryea borough. Attorney Charles P. Rohan is conducting the hearing. This will probably be the last session held in connection with the matter and at its conclusion the commissioner will prepare the final details of his findings to be presented to court.

The marshal has been a long and tedious process but it is believed the results will be entirely satisfactory to all concerned by reason of the vigilance displayed by all sides interested, at every session. Attorney W. H. Gillespie, the borough solicitor, and Attorney John Farnham, representing the Taxpayers' association, attended nearly every hearing and carefully scrutinized every order presented. In this manner the borough was saved probably thousands of dollars as holders of fraudulent orders were afraid to present them to the commissioner for fear, of inviting, criminal prosecution.

It is estimated that only about one half the orders outstanding have been presented. Incase they are not turned in before the marshal closes they will be uncol lectable bills. Fine repair work at Garrison's. Dr. W.

Tokyo, Sept. 12. Emperor Mutsuhito has ranged himself on the side of his cabinet by advising its members to retain their posts in spite of the popular demand for their withdrawal from office, lie was asked by his ministers in a memorial explaining the declaration of martial law in this city whether in his opinion they should hold or lay down the reins of government. The mikado's reply was prompt and decisive. It is regarded as tantamount to a ratification of the peace treaty.

If Mutsuhito were dissatisfied with 'the achievement of Baron Komura and Minister Takahira in Portsmouth, it is pointed out, he would not retain the government that directed their course. The Imperial response is hailed as a complete vindication of the ministry and is particularly welcome in view of an unofficial vote of nonconfidence by part of the populace passed at a mass meeting In Osaka. Unanimous approval was given by the thousands who attended the meeting to the following resolution: Hopes Agreement Will Be Broken. "The peace that has just been concluded between liussia aud Japan forfeits the fruits of victory and sows seeds of future complications and danger. The government's high handed and unconstitutional measure has resulted iu unexpected disturbance to the peace of the city in which the mika do resides.

The einpiro's honor has been soiled and the spirit of the con stitution lost. Never has our country been brought to face greater dangers. Therefore be it resolved, That we hope that the humiliating peace agreement will be brokeu and the government will resign." The privy council held a special ses sion of four hours' duration. A report on the Portsmouth negotiations was read by Premier Kutsura on behalf of the cabinet. He thereby made an inno vation Iu Japanese custom, It being usual to wait until a treaty is ready for formal ratification before conven ing the council specially.

It is believed that tbe government was moved to this action by the activity of political parties opposed to it in collecting information concerning the casualties attributed to the police in the course of the recent riots and to their promotion of resolutions calliug on the ministry to quit office. The op position is agitated greatly over the government's precautionary measure iu suspending publication of inflamma tory newspapers when the local trouble was at its height. Soldiers Preserve Order. In spite of the agitators, however, Tokvo is still quiet, and there is no prospect of further disturbances. The soldiers under General Sakmv.a, military commandant of the city, preserve order without infuriating tln masses as the police did.

No attempt is made bv the general to prevent peaceable gatherings, even though the purpose of the meetings is known to be the pass ing of resolutions condemning the peace terms and calling for the resignation of the government. He con tents himself with precluding violence and checking interference witli public or private business. The provincial governors assembled in the prefecture of police and received explicit instructions 'from the mikado's ministers in respect of the course to be pursued toward malcontents in other ports of the empire. Briefly they were directed to exercise the extreme of moderation toward the people so long as bloodshed by mobs could be avoided. Taxes.

RICHTER 4. CO. 21 Pearl Street, New York. Rockefeller Admits Reporter to His Home. SPEAKS VERY FREELY.

Tells of Trials of Youth Chances of Today. Cleveland, Sept. 12. John D. Rockefeller has shattered another precedent when he admitted a newspaper reporter to his Forest Hill home and submitted to an interview.

He proved easy to interview because be did most of the talking. Iu excellent spirits and appearing like a man at peace with all tbe world, he chatted about tbe weather first and then mentioned the visit to him last week of the American Tress Humorists. When told of the surprise expressed by the jokesmiths over their reception Mr. Rockefeller exclaimed: "Surprise? You say they were surprised? Ah, there is something I cannot and never could understand." "Time will straighten out many of these things," he said after a brief pause, and then, suddenly referring to the humorists again, he continued: "Yes, we have had a pleasant hour together. I enjoyed It and hope they did also.

In regard to what is called my seclusion, it has been Imperative that I deny myself the association with people that I naturally enjoy. "Nevertheless I have been much with people. In fact, almost, every day groups of them come to see me, and It Is a bright spot in the lives of all of us, as we drive or walk about the grounds. I have never been a clubman and have not frequented places where people generally go for company. My friends during hours of recreation are many of them from my home church." Secret of His Success.

Other topics came up, but Mr. Rockefeller ngain reverted to the newspaper jokers and remarked: "Time alters and adjusts almost everything. It takes infinite patience and courage to compel men to have confidence in you. I believe I have both of these qualities, and I also believe that they are the secrets of my success. "I lenrned to cultivate both of them when I was sixteen years old.

My first real test was when. I was making out bills of lading for canal and lake boats here in Cleveland. There was much to try the patience there, and it was the first opportunity in my life to take the wrong course, to repel rather than compel confidence from my associates and employers. "Ofteu a capfliin would want me to put down tbe wrong figures. He would assure me that it would never be known, that it was the customary way of doing things and that it was the right tiling for me to do.

I reasoned with him, 'If this and this is so, then so and so is I insisted upon what I thought was right, but hud patience with all who opposed me. Soon my employers noticed my methods of doing business. Other employers knew that I wanted fo do the right thing. Bankers then came to have confidence In me, and then success followed step by step." "What are the young man's chances today?" was asked. Full of Opportunities.

"Par better today in Cleveland than when I was a boy here. In those days this was a small city, and the industries that flourish here today were unheard of. There were very limited opportunities for the young man who wanted to make a substantial figure in life. But soon afterward Mr. Cliisholiu began to develop the iron and steel industry here.

We went into the oil business. Others branched out along the different lines. All were successful, and today every young man of Cleveland derives great benefit from those early enterprises. The city grew up around them, and it seems to mo only a matter of choice with the young mau himself today. The city is full of opportunities." Again the conversation drifted to the weather.

Mr. Rockefeller said as lie looked out of the window at the drizzling rain: "I never regret the coming of fall, although it marks the close of the outdoor season, and I have found outdoor exercise wonderfully beneficial to my health. I like to ride my wheel over the golf links best of all perhaps, and winter puts a stop to that. But we need winter. I believe we in the temperate zone are better for It.

We need the invigorating influence of cold weather. "Knell winter I take a party of my friends south to spend a month. This is for the purpose of getting into the open air more rather than for the purpose of getting the milder climate. Mrs. Rockefeller always admonishes me against too long a stay iu the south, because she maintains, and rightly, I believe, that all of us who beloug to the north need the cold winter." CONCILIATION BOARD.

The Conciliation Board convened at Wilkesburre this morning. Mr. Richard was the only representative of the operators present, but the miners' representatives were all present. The grievance of the omployes of the Reliance colliery were settled satisfactorily. No other decisions were made known.
