Thought They Had IA Burglar.

Monday evening as Constable Quigley
and Special Policemen Gallagher and
Kennedy were walking in the neighbor-
hood of the Freeland Citizens Bank
building, their attention was called to a
peculiar noise emanating from the inter-
ior of the bank. Knowing that sus-
picious looking characters were seen
around the streets the afternoon previous
they were quick to take advantage of it,
and after getting together for consulta-
ton, plan was outlined, by which the
bank was surrounded. After rounding
up, cowboy fashion, they met at the
door of the bank, and, sure enough, the
peculiar noise was heard, but this time
it sounded as if some one was boring
wood with an auger With drawn revoi-
vers the trio walked towards the bank
having in the meantime pulled off their
shoes-and entered. The light was
burning in the inner room, and upon
looking around they could not see any
one. Still the same noise was heard
but this time itappeared to be overhead,
above the ceiling. On looking up, the
cause of their alarm was discovered to
be the ventilator quietly going its rounds.
A hearty laugh greeted this discovery,
and all hands fastened out to don their
shoes and make their usual rounds. 1t
is not safe to talk burglars to them now.

For the past week our town has been
over-run with number of suspicious
looking characters, who travel around
under the pretense of mending umbrellas
and selling small articles, such as combs,
needles, etc. On Monday afternoon
they became so numerous around town
that number of business men got to-
gether and engaged Constable Quigley
and Special Policeman Gallagher to
patrol the streets. That these people
had some object III view other than their
so-called calling, can be seen from the
fact that they were seen on Sunday night
to extinguish the street lamps at several
places and were driven away from several
houses where they attempted to getin.
1t is time that something was done in
reference to night protection We un-
derstand that a petition is being crcu-
lated and signed by many of the business
men of the borough and township to
raise fund so as to employ one or mere
watchmen, and at the next meeting of
the borough council that body will be
asked to appropriate sum of money for
the same purpose.

On Friday last Constable Sault, of Fos-
ter township, was given warrants for the
arrest of John Shelhamer, ex-constable
of Freeland borough, at the instance of
E. B. Shelhamer and Michael Depierro,
of Freeland, on charge of absconding
from the county, he being under bail
charged with extortion. Mr.. Sault re-
turned with his man on Monday evening
and handed him over to the warden of
the county Jail at Wilkes-Barre.
The constable found his man working
as tlagman on the Pennsylvania Rail-
road at CHARTERS, twelve miles west
of Pittsburg.
Some time ago Mr.. Shelhamer was ar
rested on two charges preferred against
him by John Rasay and John Drasher
for extortion, and on the trial was bailed
by the above named gentlemen. Fail
ing to put in an appearance on the day
of trial, his bail was declared forfeited,
and hence the warrant for his re-arrest
as stated above.

with representative of the TRIBUNE he
expressed himself as well pleased with

The anthracite coal trade has again
become quiet. While there is a large
tonnage being freely moved on old orders
there is not much new business doing at
full circular prices, excepting with the
line and city trade. The West would take
more coal, but the scarcity of cars for so
long haul prevents the individual ship
pers from accepting orders, which the
mining and carrying companies are
"scooping."
An effort is being made to advance the
prices for anthracite to the line and city
trade to take effect on the 1st proximo.
but the opposition of one or two large
corporations may prevent it. During
the past week there has been noted a
scarcity Of new orders for anthracite,
and nothing but "cold snap" will have
much effect in stimulating the demand.
Vessels are becoming scarce and freiqhts
are stiffening.
The output of anthracite in September
exceeded that of the CORRESPONDING
month of last year by over quarter of
million tons, all of which went directly
into consumption, and the accumulated
stocks of coal at tidewater shipping
points were drawn upon to the extent of
nearly two hundred thousand tons to
make up the deficiency between the ac-
tual market requirements and the pro-
duction for the 30 days ending Septem-
Der 30th
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
October IL, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was S46, 800 tons,
compared with sos, 1888 tons in the cores
ponding week last year, an increase of
3S, 622 tons. The total amount of ans
thraUite mined thus far in the year 1890
was 26, 657 ,S43 tons compared with 81, ,015,.
558 tons for the same period last year,
decrease of 4l7,7l tons.-LedQer.
