MISS sOCKOLOsKY's STORY

She Denies Material Points in Katie
Connell's Confession.
Miss Alice Sockoosky one of the young
women who were mentioned in connection
with the Connell robbery mentioned in the
HERALD on Monday called at the office Of
this paper to-day and asked permission to
make a statement in regard to the case Miss
Sockolosky is a handso ne young woman who
speaks the English language huently and
dresses stylishly. She was accompanied by
her sister, Maggie, who is also one Of the
accused in the case.
Miss Sockolosky said: 'The facts Of the
case as given to the public are outrageous.
Neither my parents or myself knew that any
of the goods had been stolen until after my
sister, Maggie, confessed; and none of the
stolen goods were found in our house, except
few pieces of plush and other goods found
in Maggie's possession. Katie Connell who
confessed to the stealings, and Maggie my
sister, were schoolmates and Travelled to-
gether. When my mother or myself wanted
dress or anything we used to give Maggie
money to get the goods and instead of buying
the goods she and Katie Connell would spend
the money and the Connell girl would cut the
goods from what was in her parents house
1t is not true that the stealing went ON for
two years It lasted only since last Septem.
Der, when Katie Connell's sister, Name went
out West. Maggie, my sister, got a whipping
before the search last week and she
confessed that she spent the money
we had given her to buy goods with
Katie Connell and Katie cut the pieces we
wanted from goods in her parents house.
The piece Of wedding gown the officers say
they found was waist | made for Maggie.
l gave Maggie money to buy the goods She
shared it with Katie Connell and Katie cut
the goods from pieces that were in her house
aud brought it to us wrapped in piece of
paper as if it had been bought in a store,
We supposed the goods had been purchased
and made them up as we intended. As to
the piece Of carpet, Katie Connell cut it Off
Of a piece in her house, wrapped it in a
shawl and sent it to our Maggie. Katie and
our girl used it to play house in the upper
part of our house. This was a week before
the search. After they got through playing
they put the carpet in closet. When Maggi G
saw the oonstables coming she hid the carpet
in the coal shanty and there it was found
when the search was made. / wish to say
that my mother and myself knew nothing of
the stealings before the confessions The
money we gave to purchase goods at stores
the two girls shared between them and Katie
Connell from her house stole what We told
Maggie to purchase"

MoAB ENCOURAGEMENT
Private Advices From the south Concerl
ing the SchuylISiu venture


ing the SchuyllSil Venture
Comrade Boyer By some good fortune I
read in the Norfolk papers that party Of
Pennsylvanians had made valuable scoop"
in this CITY, and upon inquiry ] learned that
you and some Of your friends were interested.
1 have been living here since 1870 and when
l last saw you we parted in Philadelphia in
1865, after receiving our discharges from the
army. You were then very i'll with malarial
fever, contracted at Portsmouth, just across
the river from here. l always said, and
found it So too, that the southern people
were too slow to grasp big undertakings and
wondered why some northern capitalists did
not come here and push things" This city
has grown wonderfully notwithstanding,
The property you have secured, if reports are
true, is a most valuable one and those in
terested will make money out of it. Your
efforts will be seconded by the citizens of
this place, who are only too glad to have for
their neghbors men of the north who have
push and grit in them / have been with
these people number of years now and 1
must say have lived with them peaceably.
They are sociable, and really among the best
people extant. When you get down here
drop me a word and / will make it my busi
ness to call upon you.
Fraternally Yours,

STILL THEY COME.
More Unsolicited Encouragement From
Other Newspapers

Shenandoah has borough council which
is no credit to the town. Their action in
wanting to exclude newspaper reporters from
the sessions would indicate that the mem
bers are too cowardy to have their actions
correctly placed before the public or else
their transactions are of such a shady char-
acter that they cannot stand the light of the
press.-shamokin Dispatch.
The Shenandoah town council has passed
resolutions to debar representatives of the
EVENING HERALD Of that place from meet
ings of that body. The action is unjust,
contrary to all law and custom, and though
the EVENING HERALD may have incurred
the displeasure of members Of their board of
law makers, we venture TO say the represen-
tatives of hat independent and aggressive
journal will continue to occupy front seat
at all subsequent meetings, despite the silly
attempt TO bar them out.-Mt Carmel Daily
NetQs.
Shenandoah's borough council has boy
cotted the HERALD of that place, one of the
members alleging that the HERALD has been
misrepresenting the doings of that august
body The HERALD reporters are forbidden
to attend councils meetings and the town
clerk has been ordered to withhold all
information on borough business from the
HERALu. The borough council of big
town like Shenandoah cannot afford to play
the baby act. Most likely the HERALD's
criticisms were just and that is the reason
why they hurt, the action of council would
lead to this suppostion and to an embarrass-
ing acknowledgment of guilt. 1t is a
question whether the council has right to
exclude the HERALD's reporters The mem
bers of council are the servants of the
people; the people naturally want to know
what their servants are doing and look to the
newspapers for the proceedings. If the
council has been misrepresented it has a
remedy other than the exclusion of the
representatives of a fearless newspaper.
Shenandoah councils action savors too much
of star chamber methods.-EUeH,ng ChroR'
| icle.

deceased's friends had any idea yesterday
when he was removed to his home after
having his leg crushed on the Lehigh rail
road that fatal results would follow, but
during the afternoon unfavorable symptoms
developed. The victim failed to rally from
the shock aud splitting of blood indicated
internal injuries.
Dr. J. G, Biddle was summoned from the
Miners Hospital Immediately after the
accident to amputate the mangled limb.

prominent residents of the town. He was
26 years of age and young man of ex.
emplary habits. About three years ago he
married Miss Mary Quinn, daughter of John
T. and Margaret Quinn, of Mahanoy City,
and as a a result OF the union there are two
two years of age,
Several months ago Mr.. O'Hara was ap-
pointed to fill position in the office Of the
P. & R. c. & l. Co.'s Shenandoah City colliery
and he filled the position with much satisfac-
tion to the company and credit to himself up
to the time of his death. 1t was while ON
his way from the office to have his dinner at
home that he met with the distressing
accident He was walking ON the railroad,
and in stepping out Of the way of an engine
approaching in front he was struck by the
engine of freight train that he did not
know was approaching from the rear. 1t is
believed that internal injuries were sustained
when the freight train struck him and
knocked him against the first engine.

at Bucksvile, and James }. OHara, student
at the Pennsylvania University, Philadel.
phia, were summoned home by kilograms last
night and are expected home to-day.

occurrence and his illness is aggravated in
consequence. 1t has been customary during
his illness for members of the family to take
turns in sitting up with him at nights
Michael was his company for the five consecu-
tive nights preceding last night.

At the Thentre.

"The Creole Spy" attracted a large and ap-
preciative audience at Fergus on's theatre
last evening. Kentucky is the scene of the
play and il abounds in sensational scenes and
the denouement is as startling as the warm
and impulsive southern nature can make it.
AS Lucille Miss Lester is great success and
proves the right to be classed among the
most versatile stars in the country. To-
night THAT Boy Of Dams" will be produced.
Exchanges are unanimous in asserting that
this is Miss Testers best play and is one
which gives plenty Of scope for her mar
vellous powers Of character acting Those
who were present last evening were very
highly entertained by the magnificent
orchestra, which is a part of the company and
plays at every performance.
