The New Tork officers had a bench warrant for his arrest, but after receiving his confession they decided to not disturb him, on the advice of physicians, who claim he cannot live many months. His life is said to have been insured for $10,009 three years ago, and a year later a body alleged to be his was burled in Calvary cemetery in New York. Ciccone had been living at 2058 First avenue in that city, but about the time of his alleged death! he disappearedand since tnen ne nas oeen kept in hiding in half a dozen places, and for six months has been living in this city. In the meantime the Insurance on his life was paid, and when the New York authorities began to unearth the frauds, inquiry was made as to Ciccone's death.

years old. The first phase of the fraud in his case developed when his alleged grave was opened, and the body In it was found to be a man 74 years old.

A bench warrant was sworn out and the detectives came here to arrest the man. When located by the local men it was found Ciccone was so old and feeble that it might kill him to take him East, and the New York officers got a physician to certify to his feebleness, and that he would not live six months.

They are to be 80 feet long, and within the car will be 15 seats, each having a comfortable seatinlg ca pacity of six passengers, so that the total capacity ot the car on seats will be 90 persons. There are no cars built for this claas of service at the present time that are as long as these new ones. They are possible of economical operation because they will be used on the suburban sec tions of the new road waere there are few curves and such as they are, have easy bends, so that the trucks will move freely. The cars will have double trucks and on each of the four axles will be placed a power motor. The total power at the command of the car, there fore, will be 220-horse power, or as much as the ordinary locomotive.

There will be magnetic and air brakes on each car, also electric gongs and air whistles for all signals While passlnlg through the country districts.

By the ttraa the cars are available, the company expects to have these two divisions of the road completed.

The officials of the company feel certain that within mix weeks all of the delayed work will be finished, and that the line will be thrown open permanently. All told It will place In operation over 5" miles of traction ruaJ, all of which Is entirely new and most of which is through private right of way and forming the longest single system of electric railway In Western Pennsylvania.

He predicted that what had been accomplished In the last 40 years would be quadrupled In the next 40 years. GIRL'S PAINFUL DISCOVERY.

Investigation Into the Charges Made Said to Have Been Ordered From Rome.

MANY SIGNERS TO THE PAPER. A memorial addressed to the cardinal, archbishops and bishops of the United States, was Issued yesterday from this City by 23 priests of Slav congregations In various parts of the country. It has reference to the alleged attempt of the government of Hungary to control ths Slavs living In America, the exposure of which created a sensation a few montns ago, following as It did, upon the effort to prevent the importation of a Magyar flag and the defeat of the effort to erect a statue to Kossuth on a public square lr; Cleveland. It Is asserted that an Investigation has been ordered from Rome Into the alleged attempt of the Hungarian government to admlntster Catholic religious affairs in America. If ueh an Investigation has been ordered and takes place, the liveliest kind of times are likely, to be witnesses among the foreigners.

Many of the congregations are mixed, being composed of both Slavs and Maygars and quarrels have been frequent, and In many cases, are alleged to have been fomented by the priests who desired to carry out the wishes of the Austrtan government. Accompanying the memorial to the bishops, which was sent out yesterday, In every case a copy of the official document in which Instructions were given the government to the Austrian bishops as to the kind of priest th-y were to aIow to come to America. This document was published at the time of the excitement over the matter several months ago. The memorial to the bishops Is by the following priests: Signatures to Memorial. Rev.

Komlcsy. whose name Is subscribed thereto, makes suggestions which, if car ried Into effect, would seriously interfere with the rights and privileges of ecclesi astical authorities It the United States. In other words. Mr. Romlossy presumes to dictate In Buda Pent what the clergy In our country should do and what it should not do.

Indeed, 'he ennnot disguise the feeling that the directions bear the impress of to tiuote hla own words. To relieve the 'grave Mr. Komlossy offers two remedies. One of the remedies contemplates the prohibition of the emigration to the United States of What he terms 'hostile spirited This Is the negative remedy. The other cure, a positive one, consists of coercion.

In plain language, a priest of Slovak nationality who may be established In America, could be deprived" of his charge the moment the Hungarian government Would suspert that he is hostile to its designs. All this could be done contrary to or Irrespective of the wishes of our American church dignitaries in the matter. Order Rings With False Note. "To one who is familiar with affairs of Hungary, the whole order; from the beginning to the end, rings with a false note. It is Jnslucere.

Why? Because under the guise of the spiritual necessities of the faithful It really alms at the political tutelage of the Slovaks and Ruthenlens of the Greek rite In the United States. 'Well meaning priests' does not mean pious, good and efficient priests. Not at all. In the light of the order 'well meaning and 'well disposed priests" must be understood to be priests who are In accord with the eSisting policy of the Hungarian government. And, as that policy contemplates the forcible Magyarl-zatlon of the various people living In Hungary, and the extlrputlon of their native idioms, it means Magyar priests.

A priest of the Slovak nationality may be ever so painstaking in the discharge of his functions; he may be ever so good a Christian; if he preaches to his people in Slovak and Instructs them by means of their native language, in which after all they can best commune with tbelr God, he Is doomed to fall under the bait of this order. "Mr. Komlossy offers a gratuitous Insult to the native clergy of the United States and to the non-Magyar Hungarians as well, when he says 'that his countrymen dwelling. In America can be preserved to their faith and their Our priests. In the first place, are fully competent to administer their eccle ISAAC V.

In the hands of our own priests, unbiased as they are by racial prejudices, the faith of Hungarians making their home here is entirely safe and secure, and Mr.

Komlossy's 'well 'well 'eligible' and 'patriotic priests' would not render it any more so. As concerns the preservation of Hungarians to their hew the distinguished governmental officer appears to be a trifle visionary. The Slovaks and Ruthenians who come here, and who constitute ao cordlnz to tha order) more than one-half of the total emigration from Hungary, have no wish to be preserved to their native country.

"Within the last few years frictions have occurred in parishes having mUed membership of Hungarian Slovaks and Magyars; and dissensions have often taken place when priests from Hungary, who enjov Mr. Komk.ssy's distinction of being 'we'll 'eligible' and 'well attempted to Interfere with the "national agitation' ot pure Slovak congregations. "If any discord of that nature ever came under the observation of your eminences, most reverend archbishops and right reverend bishops, we pray of you that you refer to this ministerial order a the probable source of trouble, "To ium up the situation: The policy of the Hungarian government toward the Slovaks and Ruthenians in the I nlted States, as revealed by this ministerial order is highly pernicious, contemplating as It dees the abrogation of functions th discharge of which belongs solely to the civil and ecclesiastical authorities of this country. It Interferes with the spiritual work of priests of the Slovak nationality. It Imposes on the Magyar priests the unworthy task of poli tng their parishes for the Hungarian government.

It retards the natural process of Americanization among our Slovak and Ruthettlar, fellow-countrymen." LOCAL STREAMS AGAIN REACHING BARGE STAGE.
