One day the agency suspended business
and among those who failed to get their
money out in time were Lawyer W. D..
Seltzer, Jacob Kline and man named
Green, of Pottsville.
Seltzer picked up his law books and
diligently searched the pages for some hope
of relief. In due time he had attachments
issued and the First National Bank of town
became party to suit as garnishee.
At the time the attachment was issued
the banks held considerably over $4,000
claimed as assets of the company.
The suit went to court and Seltzer, Kline
and Green won on trial before the las
term of civil court.
Yesterday deputy sheriff called at thu
bank and received the full amount of tn
claims, interest and costs - aggregatinl

1t is understood that there are some par
ties in town who had claims but did no
sue in time and their chances for recover
ing now are very slim, as, so far as known
there are no assets in the state that can b
attached, as the surplus over the amour
covered by the attachment was drawn fror
the banks months ago.

Swimming To-day.
At noon to-day, a poorly dressed, but
rather respectable looking man went up to
the dam above the north end of Main
street and commenced to disrobe He
chstted pleasantly for few minutes with
the young men and boys who loitered
about the place and then waded into the
water.
The man jumped up and down in the
water several times. Those on the bank
thought the man was amusing himself.
Before entering the water he said he could
swim and none who witnessed his actions
entertained the thought that he was drown
ing. Suddenly the man clapped his hands
over his face and disappeared beneath the
surface. He did not rise again.
After waiting few minutes the boys
who stood near the edge of the dam con-
cluded that the man had drowned, and has
tened to town to give the alarm.
A young man named Thomas Jefferson.
residing at the corner of Main and Coal
streets, was one of those who hastened to
the dam. He stripped over his clothing
and dived into the water to search for the
body.
After several Intellectual attempts Jeffer.
son located the body in place where the
water was about eight feet deep. He
brought the remains to the surface and
with assistance, placed them on the banl
of the dam.
There was no one at the place to identify
the man, but pass book found in pocke
of the deceased's coat showed that George

CINE we're badly damaged and several
hours we're required to remove the wreck
age, but no person was injured.
AT about half past six o'clock last even
ing an east bound coal train pulled along
the lower road past the Brownsville station
on to the long curve that leads to the deep
cut that is spanned by the borough bridge
near the Kohinoor colliery. The coal
train was stopped midway between the
Brownsville station and the bridge and the
rear brakeman was sent back to signal.
A moment or two later the Empire freight
train, with one engine in front and two
behind, bound from Mt. Carmel to town,
thundered down the heavy grade from
the railroad on the mountain. Before the
crew of this train saw the signal of the coal
train brakeman it was too late to prevent 9
collision. The front engine of the freight
train crashed into the rear end of the GOA
train. The speed of the former train was
somewhat reduced before the crash. Had il
not been the damage would have run into
Thousands of dollars and some of the crew
would have been killed, or very seriously
injured.
AS result of the collision seven LOADED
coal cars were thrown into heap and tn
smoke stack and other parts of the freigh
engine were badly damaged. Wrecl
crews arrived upon the scene with apparatu
at about seven o'clock and worked unit
nearly midnight before they succeeded il
clearing away the wreekage.
No official announcement has beel
made as to the cause of the wreck, but it
understood that the crew of the freigh
train claim that the brakeman sent out t
signal did not get far enough to the rear c
the coal train.
The wreck did not interfere with tn
passenger traffic of the road.

TOOK HIS LITTLE SHOES AWAY


The Predicament In Which Squire Shoe
maker Found Himself To-day.
Squire Shoemaker found comfort Last
evening sitting on his front stoop and
smoking a Havana. To make himself
more comfortable he took off his shoes and
placed them beside his seat. When the
squire had sufficiently refreshed himself he
entered bis house to retire for the night,
forgetting to take his shoes with him. At
an early hour this morning a foot.sore
tramp passed the house. His eyes fell upon
the shoes, but, perceiving that the eyes of
neighbors had fallen upon him, he smbled
off without attempting to touch the
judicial footwear. Shortly after the tramp
ambled back and seated himself beside the
shoes. There was an innocent expression
upon his face and he was apparently
ignorant that the shoes were within
reach. The tramp remained in a
dreamy state for some time, until he salts
fed himself that the neighbors had lost in.
terest in him and he was not being watched.
Suddenly the tramp and judicial shoes dis
appeared around the corner into Market
Alley and all trace of them we're lost.
When Squire Shoemaker awoke this
morning he was perplexed. He hunted
through the house from cellar to gsrret, but
could not find his shoes. Fortunately he
was the possessor of more than one psir
and WAS not obliged to walk to court bare.
footed this morning. "pd just like tC
know who got those Shoes" the squire re-
marked to-daV
