Epahch Chunk Notes
/BoY DRowNED.-About riobii; on Wedhes-
fday while several boys were playing near
pool of water in the rear Of Albright &
Stroh's foundry, one Of them, a son of Chas.
Schwetzer, the locksmith, fell into pool of
water and was drowned. When the aeci-
dent occurred there was only one boy with
him large enough TO render assistance, and
he, as might be expected, though he acted
heroitollyj lacked a presence Of mind which
might otherwise have saved his eompanion's
life. He stopped to undress himself before
attempting the rescue, and then after getting
his drowned associate ashore, he made no eff
fort to roll him and get the water out of his
lungs, but hurriedly dressed dressed him
self and run for assistance. DR.. DeYoung
was called, but found all efforts to resusci-
tate the boy unavailing. The victim was
eight or nine years ofage, and was bright,
promising boy. hNL.Otl> QvVv-Il C,c-

young man, about lS years old, and, by the
way, one who has given his friends great
anxiety on account of his wickedness, was
arraigned before Justice Frisbie on Thursday
morning charged with picking the pockets of
Frank Warg, at the band pic mic at Max
heimef's Garden, on Saturday evening.
The evidence was that while Warg was
asleep at the pic mic, McGady went through
his pockets, taking therefrom a silver watch,
pocket-book containing some money, and
handkerchief The evidence against Nc
Gady was circumstantial. as none of the
articles have been found on his person, and
no witness testified that they saw him com
init the deed, but it was deemed sufficient to
bind him over to the high CoHrtj and he
was held in the sum of $1,000: in default of
bail, he was committed.
ThREATESEb %trH THE LA%:--tt is said by
those who attended, that the pic mic gveu
by the Phoenix Band on Saturday evening
was model success; and it certainly was,
financially, for the band realized oyer 500
net profit from it, but every sweet has its
bitter, and the members of the band have
felt extremely anxious during the week at
threat to prosecute them for selling intoX-
eating drinks, at the pic mic without license.
This threat, it is understood, was made by
members ofthe Cadets ofTemperance, which
organization is under many obligations to
the band for gratuitous music on several
public occasions and it is more than likely
a Al ,.,sII - l.. 80
this is not the first time that the question of
stopping the sale of intoXicants at evening
pic mics at Maxheimers has been agitated
and in the future managers of pic MICS there
would do well to be ON their guard, 1t
would cost the proceeds of two or three pic
MICS to pay the cost of such a prosecution,
and besides the penalty is imprisonment.

and Leon Peters were arrested on Wednes-
day, charged with violating the borough
ordinances. in reference to huckstering on

Hon. Robert Klotz has been to New
York city during the week on business.
Mr.. Nathan Belford, who, with his
family, has spent the summer at Chelsea,
Mass, will return home next week-just in
time to drop into the political campaign. He
has had an opportunity during the summer
to observe something of politics in Massa-
chusetts, where the thing has been reduced
to science by Ben. Butler and others; and
that he will shake his cane sharply around
the heads of Mauch Chunk politicians this
fall, none who know him doubt for a mo-
ment.
