until the damage wa? over, appeared
and leiiurely dispersed the disturbers.
At 10 o'clock to-night word was re?

the house of Thomas A. Wright, vice
praiident and general manager of the
company Wright was notified, and
when the crowd arrived ha was waiting
for it on his veranda clad only in a
Bight shirt tnd gripping a repeating
?hot gun.
"?f you don't get away from this

Haunted House Murder Secret
May Be Buried with Its Vic.ims
Motive of Crime by Hired Man. Who Groped Through
Dark House Twice Reloading His Deadly
Weapon, Veils Slaying in Mystery.
New Brunswick, N. J., Nov. 28.?A
lonely little farmhouse ?tands bleak
and empty to-night, three miles from
here, on the winding dirt track known
as George's road. The family of four
and the two hired men who until
Wednesday were its inhabitant? now
Me in the morgue in this town, killed
by revolver bullets fired by Joe Pe
trucha, a Pole, one of the hired men.
"Weitrmann's Place," they have been
used to call the forty-odd ?eres of land
and baraa and dwelling where Samuel
Weitimann, his wife, his son-in-law,
David Kigner, and his wife, all
Hebrews, lived and worked and flour?
ished by their dairying and trucking.
From now on the farmers of Middlesex
will know it as the "Haunted House."
Already they are referring to it by that
title and it has earned It? name.
Poe might have written fittingly the
details of the tragedy. He might have
pictured them. No one knows them.
The ?ecret of what happened on the
little farm some time Wednesday night
lies with the bullet-torn forma in the
New Brunswick morgue. A quarter mile
from the nearest dwelling, no sound of
the sextuple killing reached a neigh?
bor's ears. All Thursday, Friday and
Saturday farmer? plodded or drove past
the homely dwelling, while behind its
old-fa?hloned windows and unlocked
door ?ix ?lark bodies lay, while starv?
ing cowa lowed in the barn? and a
frightened cur whimpered and chewed
at the front door to escape the house
of horror.
Twelve Shot? Fired.
Only the ?till forms in the morgue
know, ?nd until their tongue? are
loosed, what transpired last Wednes?
day night must remain a mystery. Six
ablebodied person? lay down to sleep
in the house that night, and one of
them was able to rise and go from
rom to room, shooting dnwu the other
five, apparently uninterrupted and with
no positive sign of resistance. It is
hard for the authorities to construct a
motive for the slaughter. It is doubly
hard for them to see how the crime
was possible.
The murderer had a .38-calibre, five
chambered revolver. From it he fired
twelve shots, not all of which took ef?
fect This means that after the first
fusillade he must hnve paused twice to
reload. Perhaps the others were panic
stricken. Perhaps they slept until the
end came. Perhaps they cowered in
their beds, helpless with fear, and
heard the maniac stumbling toward
them through the dark house.
Kigner alone did rift die in his bed.
He was found in the loom with tho two
bodies of the liired men. He lay wound?
ed In the chest, forehead and chin. John
Ganas, the other hired man, and Pe
trucha lay on their cots, the latter with
the ??Tin, three chambers still loader
tiff hand, a black ring of po\
burn on hi? temple.

Until to-day the names of the
farmhands were not known. Little e

Robbery was not the motive of t
killing. In a glass bo : on the bure
! used by Mrs. Weltzmann the proi
; cutor's men found several diamond c
' naments, valued at $800. An old sa
I in a corner of the parlor had not be<
\ touched.
Pome weeks ago the Weitxmanns di
; charged a servant girl, who has i
sisted since that they refused to pi
her her wages. The police are no
: looking for her, that she may be ah
to throw some light upon the cond
tlons which led up to the murders.
Samuel Eigner, brother of the mui
<lere?l man, was arreste?! to-day, an
is held on a charge ot trying to mak
way wuh several articles belon.:ii? '

morning and opened the safe, in th
presence of the county detectives. Late
it was found that a mortgage on th
farm, indorsed with an authorizatioi
for cancellation, and a deed to th.
property were missing, as well bs i
diamond ring and a $? bill?the onl;
money found on the farm. The tw<
last were recovered. The others, Kig
ner said, hud been sent away with hii
cousin. Max Eigner, his father, heir
the mortgage against Weitzmann. IU
cancellation had not been recorded.
In the dusk of late afternoon to-daj
the farm house seemed deserted
Earlier in the day morbid sensation
seekers had journeyed to it. As eve?
ning came on they vanished. Only the
guards set by the prosecutor remained,
und they did not appear to relish the
thought of tluir all night vigil. The
tit wot cold ur.d the brown fields and
bure trees looked dreary in tho half
light, but they only served as a fit set?
ting for th. "haunted house." No
???moke came from its chimney, and its
windows were dark, except those tow?
ard the west. The sunset gleaming
through bare hn nches flushed these
with the color of blood.

CANADIAN WHEAT
COMMANDEERED
TO FEED ALLIES
Bulk of 20.000,000 Bushels
Now in Elevators Will
Go to Italy.
PRICE TO BE PAID
NOT YET FIXED
Seized Product Stored from Fort
William to Atlantic Coast?
200,000,000 Bushels Left.
Ottawa, Ont., Nov. 28.?The Canadian
government has commandeered all high
grade wheat In ?levator? from Fort
William, on Lake Superior, to the At?
lantic Coast.
The action was taken under the ipe
cial war act by the Canadian Grain
Comlssion. The wheat seized wki of
No. 1 hard and Nos. 1, 2 and 8 North?
ern. It was the property of grain ship?
pers and millers. That taken is all
which on Saturday night was in public
elevators at Fort William, Port Arthur,
Midland, Tiffin, Port ?McNichol. Colling
wood, Goderich. Kingston, Port Col
borne, Prescott, Quebec,*St. John, Mont?
real and Halifax.
A revised estimate places the amount
at about twenty million bushels. A con?
siderable amount is the property of
American grain dealers.
The grain was taken Saturday night?
so that grain exchanges should be af?
fected as little as possible. It is of?
ficially stated that the price will be
fairly adjusted and the grain owners
promptly paid by the Canadian govern?
ment.
Allies to Get Surplus.
This year's Canadian wheat crop, ac?
cording to the laat official estimate,
was 83fl,000,000 bushels. Later unoffi?
cial figuras placed the crop at about
3.">0,000,000 bushels. For export the
surplus is expected to exceed 200,000,
000 bushels. It is expected that moil
of thi? will be taken in the future for
the use of Great Britain, France and
lUly.
The domestic supply of Russia is
more than sufficient to meet the needs
of that country. Had the Dardanelles
been forced the surplus of Russian
?vheat would have made the present ac?
tion unnecessary. While the wheat Just
taken was commandeered to fill an or?
der from the British government for a
large quantity of the grain, it Is under?
stood that most of it will be shipped to
Italy.
The Canadian government will look
after the transportation of the grain to
the Atlantic seaboard, and from there
its shipment across the Atlantic will
be undertaken by the British govern?
ment in the same way that shipments
of oats and hay have been handled for
the last year.
World Supply Abundant.
The official statement l??ued by the
government says:
"The phenomenal crop of wheat in
the Canadian W?-st has brought upon
the government the duty of assisting
to the furthest extent possible in its
marketing. The supply of wheat the
world over is known to have been
abundant, and the importance of tak?
ing advantage of every opportunity to
provide for the disposing of our grain
is on that account the greater.
"For many months the government
has been in touch with the British au?
thorities with a view to procuring or?
ders from tho United Kingdom and the
allied governments in order that the ut?
most share of the consuming demand
in those countries may be turned
toward our Canadian surplus. As a
consequence of this, th? British gov?
ernment has requested the Canadian
government to provide within a short
time a very large supply of Nos. 1, 2
und 3 Northern wheat
"The problem of meeting these re?
quirements, and of doing so at such
price? as would induce the repetition
of orders in Canada, then confronted
the government. The effect of govern?
ment purchases in the open market,
such as were made by different coun?
tries a yeur ago, :a well known to the
public. The mark?t rues abnormally,
adding to tha. profits of grain dealera
and speculator? who have purchased
the grain which the governments re?
quire. The advance in price of large
amounts o? (?rain in store becomes the

Italians Enter City
from the North, Is

FOE REPULSED,

fB? i?aMa H Th? Tn?"ir?? |
Paris, Nov. 28.?Gorl-da has
fallen, according to reports from
Chlaiaao, on ?he Swiss-Italian hor?
de, . These dispatches, sent through
Geneva, add that the Italians en?
tered the town from the north.
No official confirmation of these
message;, has yet reached Paris.
Vienna asserts that heavy attacks
liy tho invader along the whole
I; onzo front were repulsed with
1 ? .-ivy ?i.s'-es. Rome gave out no of?
ficial statement to-day and its si?
lence is construed here as an indl
ca'ion that the critical moment on
which hangs the fat? of the Aus?
trian stronghold has come.
The report that the city has
fr.?en is credited generally here.
For the last we?k Berlin and Vi?
enna have remarked on the increas?
ing damage done by the besier-ts'
gunp. The Italian artillery was
moved nearer the city every day.
Moreover, it ?3 known that General
("adorna has brought reinforce?
ments from the TyTol front for
these operations. Hopelessly out?
numbered, the Austrians could not
long withstand the fierce and re?
peated attacks of the invader, cov?
ered by the Intense fire of his heavy
artillery.
Italians Pierce Line?.
In the Austrian official statement
issued to-night there, are signs that
the fall of the city |s practically at
band. Vienna talks of repulsing all
the Italian assaults, but at the same
time the Austrians admit that the
invader succeeded in piercing their
lines in many important places.
With more, and still more, men to
pour into the breach, these strategic
pci-itions can be penetrated again,
as Vienna admits they were forced
t?)-day. And then the city must fall
?if, indeed, it has not already
fallen.
For the Goriza bridgehead, the key
to the stronghold, a furious battle has
been fought. Vienna tells how the
enemy attacked "uninterruptedly with
his fresh and strong forces" in the at?
tempt to carry this Important post.
For Oslavia and for the I'odgora crests,
which dominate the bridgehead, a fierce
struggle waged.
Vienna admits that the Italian? suc?
ceeded in gaining the summit north?
east of Oslavia and the positions still
held by the defenders on Podirora, but
says that counter attacks won both
back. The ground before the
bridgehead, says Vienna, was covered
with dead, and near Oslavia alone more
than one thousand bodies were counted.
Tolmino's Fall Near.
Along the rest of the Isonzo front
the struggle continue?. On the Doberdo

Mrs. Eleanor Franklin Egan, a writer,
returning yesterday on the New York
from a tour of Southern Europe,
brought the first news that has reache?l
this country of the panic on the pas?
senger ship Barulos, <?hich drowned
twenty-five persons. Men, women and
children joined in a mad nish to leave
the vessel when a Turkish submarine
was sighted near ?rete. The ?llsaster
occurred while the ship was on her way
from Plneus to Alexandria early in
October.

crew fought their way to the lifeboat

nounces to-night that the Serbian
campaign has bajen completed. Al?
ready word comes from other
sources that following the driving
of the last Serb troops into Monte?
negro, von Mackensen's forces are
being transferred rapidly ilos**n the
I'anube to the Rumanian frontier.
This, taken in connection with
Rumania's refusal to allow the
opening of the Danube throughout
itn entire length to enable German
armed ships and supplies to reach
I'ulgariu and the Turks, i? believed
to portend the opening of a fresh
chapter of the Kaiser's Balkan ad?
venture.
Having aided Bulgaria in her
campaign agitinHt Serbia, which is
ti"\v cleared, the Kaiser is now
culled upon to protect his ally
against aggression from the east.
Here the invasion of Bulgaria
promised within a week by the Ciar
is imminent, and Russian warships,
including new dreadnoughts, have
again been seen off the. port of Var?
na, on the Black Sea, although as
yet there has been no news of any
landing or movement of troop?.
Russian Invasion Imminent.
The Russians are rer*ort?ed to
have gathered 300,000 troops ?t
Ren i, on the Rumanian border, and
,".t Ottatea, under the command of
General Kurepatkin, for the Balkan
expedition. The (.'zar inspected the
force last week.
It is to strike this army before it

lieved to have asked the use of the

King Ferdinand opened the ses
