‘ TH E E V E N l '“N oG‘AJ-z E TTE ‘ REMARKABLE CASE. A Bloomsburg Lawyer to Be Tried ' Again for Murder. JBlooms’burg, Pa., Oct. 27.--'I‘he re- trial of Lloyd S. Wintersteen, a promi- nent lawyer of Bloomsburg, who is charged with attempting to ‘kill Levi S.,Waller and family, commenced yes- terday. This case, one of the most remark- able in the country, was first called for trial at Bloomsburg May 25, 1897, and after three weeks the jury disagreed, standing eight for conviction and four » for acquittal. The case reads like a romance. Wintersteen, an ambitious and self-made man, has arisen after years of hard work to a prominent place among his fellow men, and was one of the most active lawyers and most wealthy man in Columbia County. According to the story of Clifton Knorr, a college graduate and a some- what dissipated young, man. Winter— steen had a grudge against Waller and plotted to kill Waller by paying Knorr to shoot him down in the street. It is alleged that when this failed he conceived the scheme ‘of blowing up his house with dynamite and destroy- ing not only Waller but his wife and family, and his father and mother. This plot, it is claimed, also failed through the careless fusing of the dy- namite, the explosion merely destroy- ing the front of the building and in- juiing’no one. Wintersteen is also accused of at- tempting to poison Knorr’s aunt hrough the instrumentality of that 101mg man, and for the purpose of gaining a large sum of money. Knorr says he was Wintersteen’s tool and was paid for his work. Knorr has made a complete confession, and was the chief witness for the prosecution. A panel of forty-eight jurors has been drawn for this trial. and it is ex- pected that it will take at least two days to secure a jury. The prosecu- tion claims it has secured further cor- roboration of Knorr's testimony, and expects to present a much stronger case than at the first trial. They have, too, they say, some evi- dence that a couple of important wit- nesses for Wintersteen were bribed to testify falsely. The men charged with proposing the alleged bribery are now under arrest. The evidence rela- tive to this feature is expected to have a marked effect on the case. The de- fense is silent as to its strength, but some new developments are expected. Judge Ermentrout, of Reading, pre- sides, and the same attorneys are en- gaged in the case. District Attorney Graham, of Philadelphia, is the leading attorney for the prosecution, and A. S. L. Shields, of Philadelphia, is the chief attorney for the defense. ‘,..,.i,.“ HARRISON‘S OPINION. Ali-tives Home and Talks About the , New York Campaign. Indianapolis, Oct. 27.-—G‘en. Harrison reached home from New York yester- day, considerably tanned by his so- journ in the mountains. He said he had been 'running a crosscut saw and grubbing during the Summer, and lOoked significantly at his hands. When asked regarding New, York poli- ties, he said: “As to the prospects of the campaign, I know nothing. I saw Gen. Tracy sev- eral times, but not within a week or ten days of my departure. He was busy with his campaign. I do not think that any one can predict the outcome of the campaign with so many parties in the field. The information I received came chiefly from the New York papers from day to day. The Republicans whom I met seemed «to feel that they were go- ing to win. They appeared to be sin- cere in that belief, but how much they ‘ really knew about it I cannot tell." ' Gen. Harrison was asked to given an estimate of Henry George, and as to his strength as a candidate. This he declined to do. Continuing he said: “I saw some of my old Republican friends who were supporting Low, and talked with them. I have nothing to say about Mr. Low. As to speeches, not talking about eloquence, Gen. Tracy is making a strong campaign. The cam- paign is in a tangle that nobody at this time can tell anything about. It is pos- sible that in the days that are left there may be a turning of people from one to another of the candidates that will change the result greatly from any present indication.” GIRLS lN BURNT CORK A Mlnsirel Show Given for the Bene- fit of Mount Vernon Church. Mount. Vernon, Oct. 27.——Mount Ver- non society was entertained last night with a minstrel performance at the Opera House, in which forty or more young women appeared with blackened faces afid wearing short skirts of red satin, with full dress coats and waist- coats, and white shirts, collars and cuffs to match. _ Some of the parents and members of Trinity Episcopal Church, in aid of which the show was given, orginally challenged the propriety of short skirts, -a-nd for a time it looked as if this feature would be abandoned. But argu- ments in favor of the short skirts finally triumphed. ' “I don’t see why we can’t wear me- dium skirts on the stage,” said one of the-girls. “They’re not near so short as the ones some of the older Women who are criticising us wear when they go- out-for a. ride on their bicycles.” Every one who saw the performance last night was pleased, and reported that it was modest and proper. The interlocu-tor was Miss Mary Lewis, rep— resenting QuQeen Lil of the Sandwich Islands. The tambourines were Misses Hattie and Annie Loomis, and the bones Miss Evelyn Gra‘ham, a daughter of the rector, and Miss Blanche Mar- tin. The affair ended with a cake walk. It was liberal-1y applauded throughout. The receipts will be used to repair the organ, which broke down during the service only last Sunday morning. ‘ Murine Band Not to Go. ‘ Washington, Oct. 27.-—Because of the protests of the labor unions,~ which fear the competition of the Marine . Band, the Secretary of the Navy has revoked the permission which he gave the organization some time ago to go to Chicago to furnish music for the horse show. More Gold Is Coming. Sydney, N.'. S.

It. may be a habit. It may be catarrh. But catarrh is dangerous. ‘ .The habit is disgusting. CatarI-h causes headaches, inflamma- - tion Of the eyes, deafness and consump- tion. . The habit causes humiliation. Catarrh and habit should cured. That they can be cured and have been cured, and in Norwalk, too, the following is proof: Mr. I-l. L. Woodworth, of 1 Burbank street; South Norwalk, says: “I have been troubled with catarrh for some time; my head and nose seemed pretty well stufied up, and the quantities of matter that ran into my throat at night would cause me to hawk, spit and often gag in the morning, before I could clear my throat. I got some California Ca- tarrh Cure at Plaisted’s drug store,and already these symptoms are very much better. My throat is finely free from all matter in the morning, and my whole head feels much clearer. 1: By the use of California Catarrh Cure perfect cleanliness of the nasal passages is secured, and the peculiar properties of the herbs used in its production not only cleanse the mucous membrane of all puriform matter, soothing and a1- laying all inflammation, but also eifec- t-ually destroy all forms of fungus which may grow in the throat and nasal' pas- . sages. It' has cured cases of almost total deafness, restored the ability to detect odors to persons who had almost forgot- ten what an odor was, and has cured cases that surely would have resulted in total blindness. Let no one who has suffered any of- the evils of catarrh, hesitate to secure a bottle of California Catarrh Cure. With full faith that he will obtain relief and cure. California Catarrh Cure is sold by all dealers: 50 cents, three times as much one dollar. L'unt; u. Idol: :NULD. Alleged Murderers of Farmer Niche- ols in Custody at Lusta Bridgeport, Ct., Oct. 27.—Charles Bo- nai and David Weeks, the men who have been sought for the murder of George Marcus Nichols at Daniel’s farm, in the town of Trumbull, on the morning of July 22 last, have been cap- tured. Superintendent Birmingham, head of the police department in this city; Detectives Arnold and Cronnan, and Special Officer John Keenan cap~ tured them last night at the home of David Weeks’ parents in Huntington, where they had returned late Monday night and where they were in hiding. The capture was effected without a struggle. The men were taken by sur- prise, and although armed, did not have an opportunity to use their weap- ons. The murder'and robbery at the Nichols homestead caused great excite- ment throughout this part of the coun- try. There was soon a. demand on all sides for a determined effort to capture the murderers that Gov. Cooke offered a reward of $1,000 for the arrest of the murderers. This was supplemented by a. reward offered by the town of Trum- bull and also by Miss Nichols, the sis- ter of the murdered man, until over five thousand dollars was the prize to go to the persons instrumental in cap- turing the murderers. Pinkerton detec- tives were employed by the State. but after weeks of work withdrew. RECEPTION TO NANSEN. Nearly 2,000 Persons Do Honor to the Explorer in Washington.

J.,Knagenhje1m, Charge d’Af- fairs legation of Sweden and Norway, and others. The introductions were made by Dr. Gardner G. Hubbard, president of the society, who was Dr. Nansen’s host at dinner just beforethe reception. Dur- ing the evening Dr. Nansen made a. brief address, being preceded by Dr. Hubbard, Gen. Greeley and Engineer Melville. ’ The explorer modestly gave the credit for his achievements to those who had preceded him, especially in the Jeanette expedition. “The men who blaze the way and fight the skir- mishes do not often gain the glory of the victory; but it could not have been done without their work.” ’ Dr. Nansen returned to New York to-day.
