SHOOTING AFFAIR.
Christmas Evening Braw1 in Which
One Man Gets Bullet.

While the Christmas bells were ring
ing out peace on earth, good will to
men," and calling the people to evening
services at the churches, scene totally
unsuitable to the festive season was
being enacted within their hearing.
Among those congregated at Fox's H Hotel,
South Heberton, were the Snyder broth
ers, William. Fritz, Albert and Herman,
and their brother-in-law, Frank Shultz,
all of Sandy Run. Shortly before seven
O'Clock one of them entered the dance
hall and scattered a quantity of snuff
about the floor. The proprietor remon-
strated with them, and they claimed it
was an accident. Not wishing to have
any trouble the occurrence was passed
over, and the party then repaired to the
barroom with some of their friends,
where they demanded seven drinks for
a quarter. This is not the rule of the
house but the request was granted, and
while taking their drinks William Sny-
der appeared and wanted to be counted
in on the quarters worth A discussion
followed, which resulted in the gang
being elected from the saloon, and from
the outside they began smashing the
windows with stones and other missiles.
This was followed by number of re-
volver shots and William received bull
let n the arm. The injured man and
his friends went at once before Squire
johnson, where a warrant was sworn
out charging Jacob Fox, the proprietor,
with the shooting. AT the hearing on
Saturday the plaintiffs swore the shots
all came from the saloon, but they were
unable to furnish evidence showing that
the accused did the deed. Mr.. Fox was
held upon his own recognizance until
Monday evening, when he furnished
thirteen witnesses who testified that
there had not been shot fired from the
inside or even weapon displayed. AS
the case stood then the Justice was COM
PEELED to acquit tf1e proprietor of the
hotel and dismissed the suit for lack of
evidence

UPPER 1EH1aH's BIRTH.
Bit of History About the Former
Owners bf the Place.
MOUNTAIN LAMP IN THIS REGION
WORTH OVER 4 MILLION DOLLARS
WAS SOLD YEARS AGO FOR A
FEW THOUSAND.

The death of Daniel Bertsch, Presi
dent of the Upper Lehigh Coal Com
pany, recalls tof the mind of f. H
Rauch, editor Of the Mauch Chunk
Democrat, the following scrap in the
early history of the company:
1t was either in the fall of 1857 Oh
spring of 1858 when one OF the walters
of the Mansion House called at oui
of Lancaster, was down at the house and
wanted to see us We found him in g
room and, of course we were very glad
to meet him. he said he was on his
way up to WiRes- Barre, but feeling
somewhat indisposed he concluded tC
lay over here Until next day. 1t was
his first and only visit to Mauch Chunk
and we succeeded in persuadine him tC
take ride over the now famous Switch.
Back-on one seated truck by the way
and we acting both as conductor and
brakeman. Heiwas delighted with the
trip, and he felt considerably invigorated
on his arrival back at the Mansion House
in the evening
! He told us the nature of his business
at Wilkes Barre, in substance as follows:
''Some years ago Theophius Fem,
(who had been quite prominent
| journalist at Harrisburg was hard up
financially and loaned him SO, 900. He
was never since able to pay it back, but
several years ago be came and told me
he owned a tract of mountain land up in
Luzerne County and wanted me to acce pt
deed for the same in lieu of the S., 900.
AS | considered it a bad debt, and unable
to do better, / accepted his offer and
became owner of the land. But
neglected it and it was since sold for
taxes, and | finally concluded to 90 up
to Wilkes-Barre and redeem it as it
might perhaps be of some value here
after"
He left next morning and redeemed
the land. Later on, we don't remember
the year, probably about 1860, Mr..
Stevens sold the same tract to the late
Asa l.. Foster representing the party
about organizing the Upper Lehigh Coal
Company, for the sum of $25, 900, and
we venture to say that the same tract
which Mr.. Stevens reluctantly accepted
thirty-five years ago as payment of a
bad debt of $1,000 due him by poor
printer, could not now be bought at any
price short of a round million.
How the late Theophilus Fem became
owner of the tract we probably never
knew, we certainly don't remember it if
ever we did know, but we take it for
granted that it must haye been on easy
terms, perhaps for $500 instead of So, 900,
and if so he did very well in disposing
of it to Mr.. Stevens for $4,000. And Mr..
Stevens was in better luck yet, in re-
covering the amount of his bad $1,000
claim and $4,000 profit besides, but the
last bargain was by far the biggest and
best in getting tract worth hundreds of
thousands, perhaps as much as million,
for the comparative modest sum of $685.
900.
Probably there are many tracts of an
thracite mountain lands in the region
that had changed owners and were sold
for taxes in similar manner, but we
venture to say none of them enhanced
IN real value more rapidly or to higher
figure than the one referred to.

The members of the borough council
met on Monday evening in special ses-
sion, with Messrs. Bachman, Rutter,
Williamson and Goeppert present. The
meeting was called for the purpose of
settling the account of Miles Gallagher,
contractor for the main sewer. Mr.. Bur-
ton, who was employed to superintend
the work, stated that certain parts of the
sewer were not properly covered accord
ing to contract, and he withheld the pay
ment of the balance due Mr.. Gallagher
until it was completed. 1t was finally
agreed to draw an order for Mr.. Gala
CHER for $3.50 and that as soon as the
work is completed satisfactorily to the
council the balance will be paid. The
president appointed Messrs. Rutter, Will
hanson and Dooris as committee to
view the sewer and report at the next
meeting. Mr.. Gallagher is to fill in the
gutter on Pine Street, and put the street
in passabe condition.

Following are the words of the latest

written by Editor Sam w. Boyd, of the
Wilkes-Barre Nelosdedler, and arranged
to music by Prof Ed. G. Soey. 1t is
now on sale at Perry Bros store, South
Main Street, Wilkes-Barre. Words and
music cost. fifty cents per copy. The
words of the song speak for themselves,
and the music is pronounced equally as
good. 1t is being sung on the stage al
ready.
In quiet little cottage, where the roses cluster
round,
And joyous birds sing merrilly all day;
Lived a sweet and charming maiden with a
heart as pure and true
As the flowers that are pucked in blooming
May.
But the tempter one day saw her, and filed her
foolish heart
With the story that is old and ever new;
And she left her home and mother for strang-
er's love and care,
Leaving but this little message, '1'll be back
some day to you"
CHORUS.
And her mother still is sitting,
In the old arm chair knitting,
She is waiting for the loved one, far away;
Ger her face smile goes stealing,
All her love and thoughts revealing,
Fondly wishing for the coming of that day.
The years are slowly passing, and the mothers
growing old,
Yet she watches for the face that does not
come
But her love it does not falter, and her faith
keeps burning bright,
That her darling will return ere life is done.
One day, at last while sitting in the easy old
arm chair,
A voice she heard, and arms about her
thrown;
But the great joy stilled her beating heart her
spirit passed away,A
And the loved one that she waited for's alone.
CHORUS.
There's daughter that is grieved,
For mother once deceived,
Her heart is filed with sorrow and with pain;
But the time will come at last
When her troubles will be past,
And with mother she will surely be again.
