John, Pa.. Feb. 9.—An attempt to
hide robbery and murder resulted In
the wrecking by dynamite of an Ital-
ian boarding house at Portage, this
county, early this morning. Two per-
sons are dead, two are injured and a
s.ore of others had miraculous escapes.
The dead:
TONY GRILLO. aged 44.
MRS. TONY GRILLO. aged 41.
Ralph Tellilibq and Geo. Oestavo
, were seriously injured.
; The boarding house was occupied by
Grlllo, his wife, three daughters and
i about 25 boarders.
When the explosion occurred the In-
mates were hurled in all directions, but
most of them esc aped serious injury.
The bodies of Grillo and his wife were
found buried beneath the ruins of the
; building, which was demolished.
Persons familiar with dynamite say
that at least 25 pounds must have been
put off under the room where Grillo
land his three little girls slept. It was
•stated tha* Grillo ha i between $3«"i and
S7"' and his wife $2o0 more in the
1 house, but no one has found it yet. and
the theory i3 that it was stolen by
j someone who killed the couple anil
, hf n exploded the dynamite to cover
the crime.
Grillo's head was crushed as if by
some heavy instrument, and his ribs
also were crushed.

gardlesa of all the controversies that

ever existed, has long been past.
Every vessel now clearing from this
port is given a clear bill of health
showing there has not been even a sus-
picion of plague here for at least sixty
nays. In this the local board of health
agrees with the federal board of health*
and quarantine officers. The health
authorities are now prepared to assert

In view of the fact that there is pos-

During the past sixty days no case

recorded any case of that disease. In
view of this fact vessels c learing from
