A BURGLARY.
Midnight Marauder Caught with Ample
Evidence Against Him.

Midnight Marauder Caught with Ample
Evidence Against Him.
Edward Walters, of North Bower street,
was taken to the Pottsvillej Jail this morning
and will be held a prisoner there until he
can be taken before the court for trial on a
charge of burglary. He pleaded guilty, but
had he failed to do so the authorities had
ample evidence of his crime.
Some time after 1g o'clock Saturday night
Walters succeeded in getting into the cellar
under Tabor's butcher shop at the corner of
White and Centre streets, and by means of a
stairway got into the shop. He robbed the
money drawer Of 1896, three silver watches
and a number of trinkets, and completed his
plundering by showing piece of meat weigh
ing about 25 pounds under the big gum coat
he wore. Thus loaded he started for his
home, but Policeman Flaherty noticed his
numbering gait in passing the Lehigh Valley
depot and made an arrest
Policeman Flaherty escorted the prisoner
to the latter's home to wait and see if any
accompliCes would arrive, and Policeman
No accomplices putting in an appearance
Walters and the booty were taken to Justice
Monaghan's office. Walters pleaded guilty,
but said he was drawn into committing the
burglary by a Pole named Joe isis. This
story is discredited There is Joe isis in
town, but he in no way tallies with the de.
scription Walters gives of the man he said got
him into the affair.
Walters has figured in justices courts
pretty frequently of late. Some weeks ago
he had a townsman arrested, charging him
with adultery, Walters wife being the CO.
respondent but the case was settled. A
short time after Walters was arrested on
charge Of attempting to assault young girl.
This case was also settled. This time he will
probably go behind the bars for while.
There may be more developments concerning
the burglary by tomorrow.

The object of the meeting was to discuss
proposition of the company to pay its
employees in checks and have the banks rep-
resented agree to cash them.
What transpired at the meeting was kent
secret and when spoken to on the subject
several of the gentlemen said they had
nothing to say and some said nothing definite
had been arranged.
The secrecy led to a report that nothing
had been accomplished at the, meeting
because the banks had refused to promise
acknowledgements of the checks.
At noon to-day, however, the pay car ar
rived here and all the railway employees re.
coived checks for their July pay at the Lehigh
Valley depot. The checks were drawn on
the Clearing House and were readily oashed
by the banks of town.
This afternoon there was a prevailing be-
lief that the mine employees in this district
will receive their pay for the last two weeks
in July by next Thursday or Friday.

the grounds and the people of this vicinity
will never have any use for Emorys aggrega-
tion again. There was not one of the
visitors who exhibited the slightest
knowledge of the game and any scrub team
can beat them.
The Shenandoah players retired the visitors
\ in one-two-three order in almost every
inning and the umpire had great difficulty in
| finding excuses upon which to retire the
Shenandoah men. Even when they would
strike out the batesmen would succeed
| in getting to first base, by the failure of the
catcher to hold the ball and the first base
mans mufs.
In the first inning eleven Shenandoah men
went to the bat, Fulmer, Martin and W.
H enry getting there twice before the side
was retired. Two two-baggers, two singles
two bases on balls two errors, hit by
| pitcher and two stolen bases gave the home
team start of eight runs and when the
Lumber City players went to bat two Of
them went out in rotation by Martins quick
pickups and throws to first and the third
went out on a fly to f. Henry at second.
In the second inning Reed succeeded Bell
as pitcher for the visitors and he did pretty
well, but could not hold the game in face OF
four errors, five stolen bases and passed ball
and the home team made four more runs
Reed struck out Martin and Messitt in this
inning and Bradley returned the compliment
by striking out snowden and Henson in the
same inning.
In the fourth inning the home management,
realizing the picnic on hand, decided to with
draw Bradley and let him reserve his ability
for better game, w. Henry was brought in
from right field and put in the box. He sim
ply toyed with the colored men. lie struck
out two in the fourth and two in the fifth, and
took compassion on the visitors and pitched a
series of curves, ia shoots, up-shoots drops, etc,
just to show the audience how many styles he
had in stock The darkies tried to slaughter
all of them, but in the sixth inning only got
two hits. Twice the darkies were badly
fooled when they saw a chance to get in a
run. In the fourth Baker made hit and
stole to second and Jones took his base by be-
ing hit. Baker was in high glee, but when
he tried to steal to third Messtt and Henry
cut off his joyous spell, Henry then struck
out Snowden and Battles.
In the eighth inning, after Bell had gone
out on fly to Stewart, Reed got his first base
on Martins bad throw and got to third on a
wild pitch. He stayed at third. Emory the
great struck out, and Stewart retired Baker
at first, Were it not for the wild pitch not
one of the visitors would have been credited
with reaching third base
During the last half of the game Umpire
Whalon purposely gave wrong decisions in
favor of the darkies and the home players
took them good naturedly, but his best en-
deavors in that direction could not get any Of
Emory's men near the home plate.
The game was practically child's play and
such an exhibition as one might expect to see
in the Pottsville club trying to play with one
