SKIPPED THE TOWN.
A Hungarian Robs Three of His Fellow
Countryman and Departs.

Paul Meyer, a Hungarian residing in
the Coke addition, was employed at out
side work in Drifton, but he was dis
satisfied with the slow method of getting
rich by working around the mines, and
ON Tuesday night he hit upon a plan
which he thought would increase his
little pile without any muscular exertion.
Knowing that his fellow-boarders were
saving up their earnings, he remained
from work yesterday, and after the
others had left the house he went
through their trunks and clothing, and
was well-rewarded for his labor.
Commencing in the room where
Charles Kakas slept he found $36, which
was quickly transferred to his own
pocket. This only wetted his appetite
for money, and he investigated Joseph
Ur's clothes, where he obtained $40 more.
Paul thought of the old proverb, "there's
luck in odd numbers" so he tackled the
trunk of the third boarder, Simon Toker,
and added $97 to his heap. Then he
counted up the amount and found that
the raid had netted him $173. Visions
of Wilkes-Barre Jail and the vengeance
OF his countrymen loomed up before
him, and without even a friendly good
bye to those with whom he boarded he
ran to the Lehigh Valley station and
disappeared.
When the boarders came home last
night there was small war in that
neighhorhood. All jumped to the con-
clusion that Meyer was the thief, and a
warrant was sworn out for his arrest be-
fore Squire Buckley and given to Cons
tables Sault and Seiwell. They expect to
have him arrested in few days. Meyer
is described as being about feet 6 inches
tall, 46 years of age, black hair and black
moustache, has bald spot on his head
and his left hand is stiffened from an in
jury received some time ago.

Young Men Stabbed.

A serious stabbing affray took place
above Pittston Junction on Monday
night, which may result in the death of
two young men. William Gesler and
Frank Young, of Ashley, Frank Will
liams, William P. Poust and James
Shipp, of Wilkes-Barre, were coming
down the Lehigh Valley track, the last
three named being ahead and the for
mer two coming behind, playing a har-
monica. Three Italians going in the op-
posite direction spoke to the last two
young men, who replied. Further
words brought blows, and the Italians
drew knives and stabbed the young men
Williams seeing his com panions at
tackled ran to their aid and knocked an
Italian down, but while thus engaged
another one attacked him with his knife,
cutting him first in the ear, the knife
penetrating to the base of the brain,
and then again in the side. A number
of railroaders came to their aid and the
Italians ran away and have not been

Dominic Calantonic, an Italian, is
lying at the Hazleton hospital in a criti-
cal condition. The Standard this morn
ing says that while waiting at the Lumber
Yard on Tuesday evening for the late
train to convey him to his home, which
he claims is in Pottsville, he was set
upon by four toughs, who nearly beat
him to death and then relieved him of
his watch and $35 in cash. He was ter
ribly cut about the head and body. The
operator at the Lumber Yard says that
in the early part of the evening he saw
four men from Halle Brook lettering
around the depot and it is more than
likely that these parties had hand in
the deed. He also stated that he would
be able, he thought, to identify them.
Constable Zeigler and Zelander went
to Halle Brook last evening and arrest.
ed John Sweeney, John Rhoades, John
Whitneck and George Swartz on the
charge of being the perpetrators. The
young men were taken to Hazleton, but
as there was no one there to identify
them in connection with the robbery
they were released.

Sunday Ball PLAYING,

In town in the upper end of the
county the constable created much ex-
element by threatening to arrest several
yonng men who were amusing them
selves and others by playing ball on a
recent Sunday afternoon. The offenders
stopped the game for the officer, and
on the following Sunday they found that
time hung heavily on their hands. They
could not spend the entire day in
churches, but they were anxious to en-.
iop themselves in soma way and pro-
ceeded to do it by indulging in general
drunk. Five of them were arrested fol
boisterous conduct by the same con.
stable, but were allowed to go unpunish
ed, it being their first offense. The les
son, however, made an impression or
the constable, and Sunday games are
unrestricted now.

Lightning's Freaks.

Yesterday about 1880 o'clock, when
the lightning was playing its pranks in
this vicinity, it created some excitement
at No. slope, Upper Lehigh, by going
down the mines through an old cavein
that is close to the gangway. Quite a
number of men who were along the
gangway thought their time had come,
as they saw it shooting along the gang
way rails, ripping over joints and crack
ing like pistol shots, and making things
lively in general. A number Of them
felt the shock, but other than that no
damage was done.

The habeus corpus hearing in the case
of Frank DePierro, charged with COM
plicity in the Tomhcken murder, was
called in court yesterday. After several
witnesses had been examined Judge
Rice stopped the hearing by asking if
the prosecution had any proof to show
that murder had been committed. II
seems this very important part of the
case had been overlooked by those who
were anxious to implicate DePierro, and
as nothing was forthcoming to prove
the deed had been done the judge ad-
journed the hearing until Friday morn
ing at 10 o'clock. DePierro's bail was
fixed at $1,000, the same as before.

A MISSING BOY.
He Goes to Homestead With tn
Ninth But Has Not Returned.

When Captain Wallace, of Company
E, Parsons, left for Homestead, he took
with him the sixteen-year-old son of P.
j. Gallagher, of Wilkes Barre, to act in
the capacity of servant, but the boy, says
the Neaosdedler, has not since returned.
The parents of the lad did not know
where he had gone, and learned of his
whereabouts only through his associates.
His parents were almost frantic with
grief, and naturally censured those who
took him, yet they did not know it was
Wallace, and only ascertained the fact
through postal card the boy wrote to
a neighbor at home, asking him to see
Wallace and obtain his pay from him
which he said he was very much in
need Of
Mr.. Gallagher, father of the boy,
called on Captain Wallace and was cody
informed that there was no pay coming
to the boy as he had left the captain
upon his arrival at Homestead and gone
to Pittsburg. 1t was not the money Mr..
Gallagher wanted, but knowledge of the
boys whereabouts and to learn upon
what authority the captain took him
with him. The captain told him he
knew of the boy, but could give no salts
factory explanation of his having taken
the boy without the consent of his
parents.
Mr.. Gallagher was angry. He said
Captain Wallace had no right to take
the boy with him, and when he did he
assumed the responsibility of taking care
Of him. That he did not do this is evil
denced by the fact that the boy has not
since returned and the captain has
manifested no concern about him. If
the lad does not return in day or two
Gallagher asserts he will prosecute the
captain to the full extent of the law.
