Lydia a. Jones Had 1t Taken From
Her.

Lydia A. Jones of No. 2 Holden place, Bos-
ton, off Dudley street, states she reached the
Eastern depot in that city, coming from Port
land, Tuesday, having $4,000, of which $1,000
was in gold and $1,000 in bills, which she car
ried in a small satchel, suspended from her
shoulder by a strap, the satchel being covered
by a cape. She is confident the money was all
right when she left the Portland station, but
upon reaching home the money was gone, al
though the bag was apparently all right. She
returned to the Boston depot, but could find no
trace of her money, and then reported the fact
at station 3.

In answer to questions the prisoner said that
he did not think that he struck his brother with

Weiss Beer Intoxicating.

The question as to whether the drink
known as "weiss beer" is an intoxicat-
ing beverage or not was discussed several
times at the meetings of the Catholic
temperance societies of this place, but
owing to the difference of opinion among
the members no satisfactory conclusion
could be arrived at. 1t was finally
agreed to leave the question to Rev. Nj.
]. Fallihee, of St. AIMS church, who
had the drink analysed. The result of
the investigation was that weiss beer is
Intoxicating, and the members of the
temperance societies have been notified
that any further drinking of it will con-
stitute violation of their pledge.

An Accomplioe Arrested.

PITTsBURG, July 27.-Henry Bauer, who
succeeded Herr Fricke as the head of the
anarchistic bureau of literature in the Allie
ghany district, was arrested as an accom-
plice in the attempt made by Berkman to
take the life of II. G. Frick Bauer is now
behind the bars of Central station and his
arrest, it is claimed by the police officials,
will greatly strengthen the case against
Berkman. The capture was made by De-
tectives Shore and McTighe, of Pittsburg,
and Detective Steel, of Allegheny.
The three officers shadowed Bauer's place
Of abode until after midnight, but he did
not return home until after l o'clock. In
the morning the same officers went to the
anarchists headquarters 73 Spring Garden
avenue, and captured their man.
A list of names of seventy millionaires
was found in desk in Bauer's Office. 1t is
believed by the police they were men to be
murdered by the anarchists.
The report from Mr.. Frick's residence is
very encouraging Although suffering some
pain he rests comparatively easy and the
progress of the wounds toward healing is
eminently satisfactory to the surgeons in
attendance. The sick chamber has been
fitted up with elaborate cooling mechanism
and can now be kept at a cool and even tenn
perature. All possibility of the intense heat
producing inflammation in the wounds is
thus avoided

Saloon Men Victorious.

There are number of ex-saloon keep
ers in Hazleton who are sorry they did
not take out licenses this year. Under
the impression that the fee would be
$500 many quit the business for other
pursuits, and were chagrined on Monday
when they heard the supreme court had
decided in favor of the borough fee,
$3.50. The question was an interesting
one, as the county treasurer demanded
the $500 from each applicant who was
granted license. After paying this
sum one of them began proceedings to
recover the difference, $3.50. The saloon
keepers claimed that as the city govern
ment had not been organized when the
licenses were granted, only the borough
fee of $3.50 should be paid. Judges
Woodward and Lynch in an opinion de-
cided that they should pay the $500 fee.
Judge Rice dissented and filed an opin-
ion in favor of the borough fee, $3.50.
The case was sent at once to the supreme
court, where Judge Rice's decision was
sustained. Each saloon keeper will re-
ceive his $3.50 in few day.

Great Literary Contest.

The members of the C. Y. NJ. Literary
Institute, under direction of Rev. F. P.
McNally, are hard at work preparing for
a debate which will take place between
them and the members of the G. Y. M.
Literary Institute, of Green Ridge,
Lackawanna county. The date of the
contest has not been defnetely agreed
upon, but it is likely to be held some
time in October at Green Ridge. The
following is the subject of debate
Resolved, That protection is bar to
national progress; is inimical to the best
interests of the citizen; is destructive of
the harmony that should exist between
nations" AS both societies contain
several members who are thoroughly
posted on the subject the debate will be
very interesting and intelligent discus
sion of question that now occupies
prominent position in national affairs.
The Green Ridge Institute is in charge
of the pastor at that place, Rev. P. J.

will furnish the music for the second
annual picnic of the st. Patrick's Bene-
fetal Society," which will commence at
Drifton Ball Park upon the conclusion

has won one game from its opponent this
season, and this one will decide the
championship Everyone attending the
picnic may prepare for pleasant after
noon and evening, as the committee has
left nothing undone that might add to the
pleasure Of the public.

BASE BALL NOTES.

Lansford people are indignant at the
baby-like manner in which the Jeanes-
vile team acted there on Saturday. As
soon as the visitors saw they would have
to play ball to win they began their u.s.
ual wrangling and kicking. Jeanesvile
lost, but Lansford will give them an op-
portunity to retrieve the defeat on Au-
gust 15, and of the coming game the
Record will say on Saturday next: "The
management desires to serve notice upon
the GAINESVILLE people that no matter
what the umpire says, even if it be
wholesale robbery, the Lansford bows
will submit, rather than make ah ex-
hibition of themselves, as Jeanesvllle
did here. Better loose game than the
respect of the audience"

in this city that the police learned that two
packages containing currency and addressed
to Berkman had arrived from New York
some days ago and had been delivered to
Knold's address.
The police Immediately made a descent
upon Knold's house, and his replies to the
few questions put to him not being salts
factory he was at once placed under arrest
and brought to the Central station in this
city. Here, upon being interrogated, he
admitted that Berkman had come straight
to his house upon his arrival from New
York on July IA, and had remained with
him until last Friday-a period of eight
days. When asked If he had ever had any
knowledge of Berkman before he replied In
the negative, but said that the anarchist
had explained that he had gotten his
Knold's) address from Herr Most.
The police, however, take no stock in this
story. They believe that Knold Is closely
connected with the New York gang of con.
spirators; that Berkman came to his house
as part Of the plot, and that, If he was SO
inclined, Knold could reveal the entire con.
spiracy. They claim to have ascertained
during the afternoon that Knold had not
only shown Berkman the location of the
Carnegie company's office, but also point
ed Frick out to him, in order that he might
know his man when the moment came for
carrying out his diabolical scheme.

Engines Nos. 3 and 5, of the D. S. &
S., collided near Hazleton on Monday
evening, and both were badly wrecked.
The collision is said to have been
caused by the carelessness of an opera
tor, who was ordered to hold the east
bound train at Oneida junction. This he
neglected to do, and, as both trains
could not pass on single track, the
above result occurred. The trainmen
escaped uninjured, but many of the EN-
ployes of the road are in constant fear
of such collisions, and it will require
the utmost vigilance to guard against ac-
cidents unless the route is double-track-
ed. This should be done if the company
has any regard for the lives of the men
who are dependent upon the orders of
the operators.

AN AMATEUR DETECTIVE.
He Paid Five Dollars for Badge and
Wanted to Arrest Somebody.

George Wetzell, Quakake farmer,
was arrested at Hazleton for acting
suspiciously and carrying big revolver.
He had been hanging around several of
the Lehigh Valley stations hereabouts
for over a week. On Monday he was at
Hazleton and when train approached
the station he drew from his pocket
photograph that he looked at and then
closely scanned the features of those
who stepped from the train. A constable
noticed the funny actions of this in
dividual and ventured to ask him some
questions. He said that he was detec-
tive in search of an Italian who commit
ted murder somewhere in the West,
and that he was going to pull him as
soon as he came to town. He showed
the constable large revolver he carried
and as much as intimated that there
would be some shooting going on when
his man came in on the train.
He concluded that the man was crazy
and informed another officer of his sus-
picions. They found him near Markle's
bank examining his big pistol. When
the officer asked him what he had he
became very insolent and told him to 90
about his business. The constable and
officer pounced upon the crazy man, for
it was easily seen then that he was "off, ,"
but they hard time to take him to the
lookup, for he kicked and made every
effort to bite the officers. They finally
landed him and stripped him of his big
revolver.
=. The Speaker says that gentleman who
lives in Quakake valley, and who knows
Wetzel, was in the city the next day
and told the mayor that Wetzel was
half-cracked and the best thing to do
with him was to liberate him and send
him home to his poor family who were
anxious about him. He was always a
good person to work and support his
family, but some time ago person came
to him and read to him piece from
newspaper which offered to make full
fledged detective out of any person who
would send five dollars to firm in Gin
cinatti. Wetzel was taken with the idea
and sent five dollar bill in letter to
the Cincinatti firm, and in short time
afterwards received package with a
badge and the instructions for him to
get big pistol and start out at once to
hunt up murderers. That's what he
was doing when he acted so curiously
and was arrested.

Weather and Crops.

The weather crop bulletin for the
week ending Sunday last has been issu-
ed by the Pennsylvania state weather
service. 1t says that rain is badly need :
ed everywhere. Except in those Sec
tions benefited by the heavy rains of
Friday night, the crops are suffering,
corn is curling up and grass, potatoes,
and gardens need rain badly. Streams
are low and the ground is dry and dusty.
Haying is generally finished and some
oats have been cut. Tobacco plants
droop and show lack of moisture. The
hail on Friday night destroyed about
one hundred acres of tobacco in York
county. Elsewhere the storm did little
damage other than to blow down the
corn and injure fruit somewhat.

A Deserted Child.

A Polander by the name of Slavage,
living in Edwardsyille, deserted his
seven-year-old boy, says the Neosdealer,
by leaving him sitting in the d. L. & w.
depot in Kingston while the father
made an excuse to run across the street,
informing the boy that he would return
in few minutes. The minutes came
and hours went but the father never
returned. The lad sat all day in the
depot until Polander from Plymouth
took charge of him and safely placed
him in the hands of John Suskie, the
end of Plymouth, who is taking proper
care of the child. He is bright Polish
boy and speaks good English, being
born in Minneapolis. A wholesale busi-
ness merchant of Wilkes-Barre has
volunteered to adopt the boy providing
the father does not return.

The road leading from Freeland to St.
AIMS church is in very dangerous con-
dition. Yesterday morning a small hole
appeared on the surface opposite the old
Woodside slope. At first the hole was
very small, but gradually enlarged to
about two square feet. 1t extended in a
verticle direction and was very deep.
As it is almost in the centre of the turn
pike and cannot be noticed by a person
in vehicle the danger to horses is so
much greater. The traffic on the road
is not very heavy or it would soon cause
the entire surface to sink. Teams and
others who have occasion to pass there
now cross over the culm south of the
dangerous spot. The road to-day is
closed on both sides of the hole.

which showed that the commissions
received by him during the year amount
ed to $2510.51 in addition to his regular
salary of $4,000 per annum. There
appears to be question whether
the treasurer is entitled to all the
commissions he claimed in his state
ment. James F. Minogue said he was
appointed county solicitor by the COM
missioners in 1891, but he did not con-
slider himself as such, although he drew
the solicitors salary. He never kept
account of the expenses of his trips, but
drew on the commissioners for his bills
and they paid them. Several other such
queer transactions are reported, and the
taxpayers are now beginning to see
where the money went.

More Polls for the Points.

The enterprising voters of the Points
are not to be caught mapping on election
day, and in answer to a petition the
court has appointed II. C. Wills, of But
Ter, and Owen Fowler and T. A. Buck
ley, of Freeland, to view that district
and divide it into two or more election
precincts. The viewers will probably
get to work as soon as possible. The
citizens of the Points are to be COM
mended for the promptness with which
they have met this question, and the
sooner their action is followed by the
residents of the borough the less trouble
will be experienced when the day for
voting comes. 1t is not yet too late,
however, and petition asking for more
polls in Freeland will receive all the
signers necessary to have it granted.
Don't delay any longer.
