-Landreth's teuda at Jonuaton'u. -

According to reports which comfrom Belvidere, the nncientcopper antgold mines in Pahaquarry are again tobe opened and worked. This timeBelvidere ana Philadelphia capitalistsare to take up the work laid down ilrstby the Indians, then by the Hollandersand finally by Horace Groeley.

Quite a number, of mining expertshave put in their appearance a t themineB on the Delaware within the pasttwo weeks. The men appear to be ingood circumstance and of good intelli-gence. Arrangements are being madeto go immediately at work on themines, to sink the Bhafts to a levelwith'tho. Delaware river, where it isexpected the ore will be found in pay-inn quantities.' It may not be generally known thaithe old copper mines are not consider-ed valuable on account of the copper,but that gold has been found, assayingfive dollars and over to the ton of rock.This gold cropo out universally througha mother lode of carbonate of copperrock with n south-west trend, extend-ing along the mountain side fora mile,

At ono time, tho theory is advanced,this copper mine was very rich incopper, but the copper waa subjectedto such oxtremely high heat ua toburn up tho copper, and it passed intothe atmosphere as gas. The gold,however; being more indistructible,remained. .

The experts at the Pahaquarry minessay that tlie first working, or openingof the mines, wns prior to tho landing ofColumbus, inl402;und that tho Aztecs,Montezumas, or Home other primitivepeople wore the original workers othe mines. Tracos of their mining iiplain, the lines of domarkation boingvery visible between this ancient andmodorn mining, the latter being at-tributed to the Hollanders."

It haa never been "definitely BBttlodand probably never will be, whetherthe road leading, from the Hudsonriver to the Pahaquarry mines wasbuilt by the fortune seekers from Hol-land or by the Indians, but it is morelikely thut the former are responsiblefor it. That road is in UBO today andwas in use when the first Englishsettlers came into Warren county.Such a road if built today would COB!no less than a million dollars and itmust have required a vast army ofworkmen to build it with the primitivetools iu use in the seventeenth century.It is not improbable that the early goldhunters enslaved thousands of Indianto accomplish their purpose.

The mines had lone been abandonedwhen the early English pioneerssettled in liorth Jersey ami it waB notuntil 1S50 that any-active effort wasmade to revive the work. ThenHorace Greeley, thp great anti-slaveryeditor of the New York Tribune, un-dertook to extract the copper and goldfrom tho ore, but the process was toocoftly and ho soon gave up the venture.

Now, half a century later, local capi-tal has been interested anil with the im-proved machinery and modern methodsit is pnsRihle micneafi may finally crownthe ettort3 of these latest venturers.

The Vulcanite Cement Companypropose making important alterationsand additions to their already exten-sive plant almost immediately, andfrom conditions that obtain it will notbe surprising if this same Vulcanitecompany proves itself a strong rival ofthe prominent cement companies inthe Lshigh valley (Pa.) that now layclaim to precedence over all othermills of like production in the country.

Injured Alan Goes lo Easlun HospKnl—IllsAssailants iiscapc.

Partly because he was anxious torenounce his country and become afollower of the green flag of Ireland,Antone Rill, a native of Italy, lies on ncot in the Easton Hospital .sufferingtrom m^ro that a dozen dagger wounua

Rill; is a Port Murray man, havingbeen employfid at the National FireProofing works there for conHlderablyover a year. So, also have been a larg<number of Italians, most of whom anmembers of a different sociot fromthat to which Kill belongs, and whilithe latter's ambition to become auIrishman may have had something tdo with causing the trouble, the victimhints that the difllculty began long agoin his native land. "

l lTonej" Rill of late' haa becomevery popular among the American andIriali employees at the works and withthese he has associated more than withhis own people. At the same time hehus continued to live tu a shack together..with several of his countr menand report bus it that the nights abouUnit particular shanty have been mad(hideous by the revelry and quarrels olthn crowd within.

On Sunday night thoro was a christening at the home of John Bruce, ontof Rill's friends, and the latter togethor with a number of other Italians waiinvited. During the evening all thiforeigners drank more or lean frombottles which they had brought ivittthorn'and by ton o'clock aome of thiparty were fighting drunk. At abouthis hour someone grabbed Kill's no eand pulled it so hard that the proboBcifwaB nearly dislocated. The ezcitemenwas finally quelled by Mr. Bruce eject-ing the whole party from the house

Hardly were the Italians outBlde thedoor when several of hia companionsjumped on Rill and beat him fearfully.During the moleo someone stabbed thepoor fellow in the back in more than adozen places, one of, the cuts on thelower left side being an inch and a halfdeep. It is believed that an arterywns severed at this point. Seven otherwounds were found, each of them ofrather a BBrioua character, but none ofthorn necessarily fatal.

Rill's crys brought a crowd to thespot and his assailants fled. The in-jured man was carried to the house inwhich he has lived and in the morningmessages were sent to Dr. C. B. Smithand ConBtable Shrope of Washington.Accompanied by Justice Roan thesegentlemen went up at 10 o'clock "Mon-day morning. ,

After his wounds had been dressedthe injured man made a statement toJustice BOSB in which he named Benja-min Breezs, Peter Persouit, andFrank, Peter as his asaailants. Hebelieved Breeze to be the one who u. _the knife, which, he stated, had beenespecially manufactured for its deadlywork. A file had been ground downto a razor edge and this, fitted witha wooden handle, came near ending hislife. ••

Rill is about thirty-five years oldand has a wife living in Italy. Someof the witnesses state that Rill hadshown a revolver while in the houseand had threatened to shoot hisenemies. It is said that he was onlyirevented from carrying out this p

,jose by aeveral persons who hold hwhile others took the revolver but of

is handB. All this Rill denies. , tUpon hearing Rill's evidence Justice

BOBS issued warrants for the four menand Constable Shropo started out ;toserve them,but he soon learned thathe-whole-party ...had flown. ..ILwas.ielieve'd they liad~*taken 'to* the~hills7mfc later it was learned that Breeze hadbeen seen to board an eastbound freighttrain and it is not improbable that theothers followed his example.

On Tuesday morning Rill was as-;b"thn fltabib'n7*wheTiehe hoarded

While thevolume was a prominent quality, one wasforcibly Impressed with the fact that theparts wer'e well balanced, that there wasdelightful harmony and great precision inall Ha work. The number that doubtlessmet most ftivor was "Paul Revere's Ride,"sung to music by Buck, in which. Mr.Maurice Clemens of Easton and Mr. JamesDoolittle of this borough, who, by tbeway, is a member of the club, sang inci-dental solos, all of which were greatly en-joyed. In this selection the siogers wereuccompauied by piano and strings.:: -• Tho program wus opened by Mr. CharlesE. Knausp, who is tbo instructor both ofthis club and the locar'chnr. He' jtave" avery Qav. rendition of the'Symphonic Pre-lude by Lachner-Morgan upon the pipe

Mr. Maurice Clomons, the popular bari-tone soloist of Easton, made an instan-taneous hit in his Hrst number—tho diffi-cult Vulcan's Song, "At the Smithy,"from Gounod's opera "Pbilemon-et-BaiiHcis.1' This was one of tbo most difli-cult vocal selections ever heard hero, yetMr. Clemens sang it with that ease andgrace which always marks the true artist,tie was compelled to respond to an en-thusiastic encore and sang "Ofl to Phila-delphia," an Irish ballad in dialect. Hissecond number, "Judge me, O God," byBuck, was perhaps a little heavy yet itwas suns with that same care and distinctenunciation. .

It begins to appear that PresidentAlbert A. Johnson of the Lehigh Val-ley Traction Co. has lost JntereBt ia theproposed line from PhllHpeburg-'toWashington einco he began to build a '.•trolley line between -NowYork andPhiladelphia. President Wm. M. Davisof the The Phillipsburg Horse Car ,Railroad Co. tMd a STAB reporter, on ..Tuesday that the subject had not beenmentioned by Mr, Joiinson fora monthor more, and that every moment ofthe trolley builder's time ia occupied ^r'ust now with bis Mew York-Philadeli

Jhla line. He did not see how Mr.ohnson could personally take up the

matter for some time .at least. Mr.Davis wanted it understood that theproject had not,*jeen abandoned by anymeans, b'ut tha'-it is elmply on theehelffor the time boing. .

In this connection tho item publishedin the STAR last week regarding theline projected by H. H. VanAmburghfrom Easton to Somerville by way ofWashington takeB on new importance,Bince it is learned that Hon. Robert E.Wright nod Hogh E. Orilley of Allen-town, Pa., are directora in the LehighValloy Traction Co. These gentlemen,together with Mr. VanAmburgh. werein Washington a few.days ago, havingdriven up from Somerville, and, whilethey did not make the object of theirviBit known, it is understood,they wtjre:very well satisfied with what"they saw.With the situation between here andPhillip3burg they were more than grat- :lfied. ' - . • : • ' • • • • • . . • • ' -

It Is not unlikely Mr. Johnaon may -place tho whole project in the hands ofthese gentlemen to do with it. as theyplease. Should such action be taken itis nlrno&fc assured that something w i l l - •be done this summer. . ,'

In some of the Hunterdon countytowns, notably Clinton, the promotershave met the town councils and havetalked over the subject of the trolley,but as yet no franchises have beenaaked for. - , .

Another railroad matter of supremeimportance to Washington is the factthat surveys have again been madefrom the Edison cement plant toCarpontersvillo on the line of thePennsylvania Railroad. When theEdison plant was projected it was un-^.officially . given out chat a branch ofthe Pennsylvania road would bo built .-.--•.to New Village, but thiB fact had been,forgotten by .most:peraons.,.whb. had ..watched the progress of the big NewVillage enterprise.

With the Pennsylvania line withinrive miles of Washington, is it nofcpossible the company could be inducedto build on to this place? The Lacka-wanna and Pennsylvania are as separ-ate in ownership as any two roads inthe East, and there is no reason why .the latter Bhould not come here if the ' ••"oificialB decide that it would be profit-able to do so.

The EdiBon company will turn outmnny carloads of cement daily and noone will deny that it will be to the nd-vantage of the company to be inde-pendent in the matter of transporta-tion facilities. For this reason it ispractically certain that the proposedconnection will be built even if theEdiBon people have to construct itthemaelveB. •

When the work is started our busi-ness men and property ownera mustnever let it stop at New. Village. Itmust come here by all means. Noreasonable price wnnld.be too. muchto j.-.- :;:pay for another railroad and apparent-Iy this is the town's only chance tog e t i t : ^ • • • • • • • - • ; : -

According to reports which connfrom Belviaere, the ancient copper amgold mines In Pahaquarry are again t<be opened and worked. This ManBelvidero and Philadelphia capitalisteare to take up the work laid down firstby the Indians, then by the Hollanderand finally by Horace Greeley. ,

Quite a number of mining expertshave put In their appearance at th<mines on the Delaware within the pasltwo Wookfc),"Themen appear to be itgood circumstance and of good intelli-gence. Arrangements are being madto go immediately at work on tb<mines, to sink the Bhafts to a levelwith the Delaware river, where it iiexpected the ore will be found in paying quantities.

It may not be generally known thaithe old copper mines are not consider-d l b l t f the o pe old co

At ono time, the theory, is advanced,this coppor mine was very rich incopper, but the copper,waa subjectedto such extremely high heat as tcbum up tho copper, and it passed intcthe atmosphere as gas. The gold,howovor, being moro indistructible,remained.

The experts at the Pahaquarry m'neiBay that the first working, or openingof the mines, wns prior to tho landing ofColumbus, in M92;and that tho Aztecs,Montezumas, or some other primitivipeople wore the original workers o;the rainoa. Traces of their mining isplain, the lines of demarkation beingvery visible between this ancient an 1

modern mining, the latter beingtrihutod to tho Hollanders.'

It has never been definately saltledand probably never will be, whetheithe road leading from the Hudsonriver to the Pahaquarry mines wasbuilt by the fortune seekers from Hol-land or by the Indians, but it is morelikely that the former are responsiblefor it. Thut road is in use today andwas ..in use when the flrst Englishsettlers came into Warren county,Such a road if built today would COBIno less than H million dollars and imust havo required a vast army oworkmen to build it with the primitivtools in.use in the seventeenth century.It i3 not improbable that the early golt*hunters enslaved thousands of Indianito accomplish their purpose. „

The mines had lone been abandonedwhen the early English pioneerssettled in North Jersey aud it was notuntil 1S50 that any active effort wasmade to revive the work. ThenHoruce Greelt\v, thf> great anti-slaveryeditor of the New York Tribune, un-dertook to extract the copper and goldfrom the ore, but the process was toocostly and he soon gave up the venture.

Tony Rill of Port Murray NearlyKilled by His Companions.

STABBED A DOZEN TIMESTrouble , May Have Begun in Foreign

Land Years Ago.

Injured Man Goes to Easton Hospital—IllsAssailants Escape.

ith

Partly because ho waa anxious torenounce hie country and become afollower of the green flag of Ireland,AntonoJtill, a native of Italy, lies on acot in the Easton Hospital sufferingfrom more that a dozen dagger wound*.

Rill Is a Port Murray man, havingbeen employed ac the National FireProofing works there for considerablyover a year. So, also have been a largenumber <if ItulItuiH. mo&t of whom aremembers of a different society fromthat to which Kill belongs, and whilethe letter's arnuition to become auIrishman may have had something todo with causing the trouble, tho victimhints that the difllciilty began long agoin hia native land.

'Touej" Rill of late ha3 becomevery popular among the American andIrish employees at the works and withthese he lias associated more than withhis own people. At the same time hehus continued to live iu a shack to-jother with aevenil of his countrymenand report hits it that the nights aboutthat particular slmnty have been madehideous by the revelry and quarrels of"in crowd within.

On Sunday night there was a christ-ening at tho home of John Bruce, oneof Rill's friends, and the latter togeth-er with a number of other Italians waainvited. During the evening all thoforeigners drank more or leas frombottles which they bad brought withthem and by ton o'clock Borne of theparty were fighting drunk. At aboutthis hour someone grabbed Rill's noseand pulled it so hard that the probosciswas nearly dislocated. The excitementwas finally quelled by Mr. Bruce eject-ing the whole party trom the house.

Hardly were the Italians outside thedoor when several of his companionsjumped on Rill and beat him fearfully.During the melee someone stabbed thepoor fellow in the back in more than adozen places, one of .the cuts on thelower left side being an inch and a halfdeep. It is believed that an arterywas severed at this point. Sevon otherwounds were found, each of them ofrather a serious character, but none ofthem necessarily fatal. : • : - ; •„.-'.' Rill's erys brought a crowd to thospot and his assailants fled. The in-jured man was carried to the house iwhich he has lived and in the mornin,messages were sent to Dr. G. B. Sm:find Constable Shrooe of Washington.Accompanied by::Ju3tice^Bos3L thesegentlemen went up at 10 o'clock Mon-day morning.

After his wounds had been dressed;he injured man made a statement tofustice Boss in which he named Benja-min Breeze, Peter Personit, andFrank Peter as his assailants. Helelieved Breeze to be the one who UBed;bo knifo,,whicb,.ho etatod, had beenjspecially manufactured for its deadlywork. A file had been ground downto a razor edge and this, fitted with1 wooden handle, came near ending hisiife.

Rill is about thirty-five years oldnd has a wife living in Italy. Some•f the witnesses state that Rill badihown a revolver while in-the housend had": threatened to :" Bbcot hisnemies. It is,said that he was onlyirevented from carrying out this pur-pose by several persons who held himvhile otherB took the revolver out of jin handB. All this Rill denies.Upon hearing Rill's evidence Justice

Boas issued warrants for the four men.nd Constable Shrope started.out to.lerve them, but he soon learned thathQ^whole^parfcy ,;ha.d; flown .-.TtwaB-jelieved they had taken to the hills,»ut later it was learned that Breeze hadieen seen to board an eastbound freight:rnin and it is'not improbable that theitliers followed hisiesample.

On Tuos.rjay.morning Rill waB as-iisted to the station, where he. boarded1 train and was taken to tlie Eastern

Hospital. It is believed thore that he'ill recover. ;,,. ~

It begins to appear that President.Albert A. Johnson of the Lehigh Val-ley Traction Co. haslost Interest in theproposed line from Philllpeburfr toWashington since he began to build a :•-.trolley line between New York andPhiladelphia. President Wm. M. Davisof the The ' Phillipaburg Horse OarRailroad Co. bid a STAR reporter onTuesday that tho subject had not beenmentioned by Mr. JonnBon fora monthor more, aud that every moment of :..the trolley builder's time is occupiedjust now with hiu ^ew York-Phlladel- 'phia line. lie did not see how Mr.Johnson could personally take up thematter for some time at least. Mr.Davis wanted it understood that theproject had not been abandoned byanymoans, but that it Is Bimply on theshelf for the time being.

In this connection the item publishedin the STAH last week regarding theline projected by H. H. AranAmburghfrom Easton to Somerville by way ofWashington takes on new importance,since it is learned that Hon. Robert E.Wright and Hugh E. Orijley of Allen-town, Pa., aro directors in the LehighValley Traction Co. TheBe gentlemen,together with Sir. VanAtnburgh, werein Washington a few days ago, havingdriven up from Somerville, and, whilethey did not make the object of theirvisit known, it is understood they werevery well satisfied with what they saw.With the situation between here andPhillipaburg they were more than grat-ified. •. . . , • ' . . ' . ' , . ; . ~!::. .'1 It is not unlikely Mr. Johnson may ,

place tho whole project in the handB of

these gentlemen'to do with it HB theyplease. Should Buch action be taken itis almost assured that something willbe done this Bummer. ,. ,;„.,.*' In some of the Hunterdon county ' K|towns, notably Clinton, the promoters . t lhave met the town councils and have : :-;;|stalked over the subject of the trolley, : ,,t;|but as 'yefc.no franchises have beenasked for. v . '• . . . ' . ' ,':

Another railroad matter of supreme ,importance to Washington is the factthat surveys have again been madefrom the Edison cement plant to , VCarpentersvillo on the. line of the •'•'••',Pennsylvania Railroad. When t h e ' ,Edison plant was projected it was un- .. .:ofllcially given out tha t a branch ofthe Pennsylvania road would be builfcto New Village, but this fact had beenforgotten by most persons: who had '...:., .'.'.'•."•watched the progrcBs of the big NewVillage enterprise.^ . . . , . . : ,

With the Pennsylvania line withinfive miles of Washington , is i t no tpossible lhe company could be inducedto build on to this place? The Lacka-wanna and Pennsylvania a re as separ- •••'-'ate in ownership as any two roads inthe East, and there is no reason why . ;.„ . ,±the la t ter should no t come here if the -officials decide tha t i t would be profit- t,able to do so. ' '

The Edison company wil) turn outmany carloads of cement daily and no • .,-ine will deny that it will be to the^fld-•autage of the company to be inde- ; '•-;.,:

pendent in the mat ter of transporta-tion facilities.' For this reason it is

Lpractically certain:«that the proposed - . ":("connection will be built even if theEdison people have , to construct itthemselves. • • '•• • • '• ••.

When the work is atarted-onr busi- •;ness men and property owners must ;never let" it stop" at New. Villager" I t : ' 7 - - ;.-must come here by all means. No ;.

Quite an excitement prevailed aroundtbe Edison cement plant at an early houin tbe morning1, a few days since, upon thiannouncement that tbo valuable saddleborro, "Davle," togetber wilh his equip-ment?, the property of the general super-intendent, ba<i mlft tor lout ly disappearedfrom bfa atablr, leaving no Hgn otherthan his manger hair full of hay, and theprints of his four feet outward bound. Andwhat added to the general confusion, tbeunaccountable absence of big owner couldnot'be understood or explained. HughMasterson, manager of the stable?, upon.Uecoverlne tbe loss, sought the assistanceof "Andy " Smith, who with characteristicpromptness sit zed upon the telephone andin a very brief Bpaco of time, WashingtonPhillipaburp, EattoD, Bethlehem, Allentown and other pieces bad been rotifiedand theirsluetba were quickly on the lookout for tbe animal, a dedciiption of whichhad been trannnitted by "Andy." Aftertbo first flurry of excitement bad diedaway, and the interested parties takentime to pull themselves together, tho con-clusion arrived at was that the owner hatprobably been aroused by some unusanoise, discovered his ICSP. and started Inhot hat to on tho trail, without giving anyalarm, in the hope of overtaking tbe thief,and at least, recovering his property, andthia condition was borne out fully by tbeappearance, just at nightfall, of the miss-ing bor^e, with all bis equipments, accom-panied by bis owner, who sat erect andproudly on theaolmalsbacfa'as he canteredslowly into the enclosure; but it would besufe to gay that" Dnvie " had not been outof his owner's aight (of his mind's eye atall events) at any time during the day.
