Joseph G. Piatt, county detective,
and Constable McCrystal, of Cas-
cade township, returned late last
night from Lopez, Sullivan county,
having arrested Michael Finan at
that place. Finan was charged
with selling liquor without license,
and the case is sequel of the
Hoover murder in Cascade town.
ship. That case brought the at
tention of the community and the
county officers to the looseness with
which the liquor laws were observed
in that end of the county, and steps
were at once taken to punish some
of the offenders. About the time
the crime for which Yeagle and
Ogden are now serving time, was
committed, Finaa was peddling
liquor out of wagon through Cas-
cade, Gamble and Mcintyre town.
ships, having no license or shadow
of right by law. Right after the
murder warrant was sworn out for
his arrest before Alderman Gilmore,
but he had vanished and dilligent
search failed to reveal his where
abouts. A few days ago clue was
discovered to his whereabouts and
County Detective Piatt called in to
aid Constable McCrystal.
On Monday they left the city,
and only yesterday afternoon were
they able to find their man. He
was taken before Squire Jennings,
who placed him undr $500 bail for
his appearance at court here in
September. He does not deny his
offence but says he did not know he
was violating the law. AS soon as
he was made aware of it, he says, he
quit. The authorities have clear
case against him. Alderman Gil
more received the papers this morn
ing and will have them returned to
September term. Finan says he was
filling orders for the Schaad dis
tillery at Observation-Disclosures

tense III sullivan county ana was
tried at May term of court. The
jury found him 'not guilty but pay
the cost" Finan resorted to the
insolvent act and proved that he is
not worth dollar, hence, the coun-
ty will be compelled to pay the en-
tire cost of the suit and Finan will
go Scott free. We fear that Michael
has run against snag in Lycoming
county however, and will be housed
for a few months. The otfense
charged is precisely the same as the
one he has recently undergone in the
Sullivan county courts, hence, at
the close of the trial, we will notice
the difference of opinion of the jury
and judges of the two courts.

say that if the Republicans will go

The Fate of Poor Wretches
Driven From q Burning Ship.


Driven From q Burning Ship.
SAN Francisco, Aug. 13.-Furth-
er particulars of the burning of the
steamer San Juan off the Chinese
coast were received here yesterday.
The Spanish steamer San Juan left
Hong Kong for Manila with a full
crew and all the Chinese that could
be slowed away. Thirty miles off
Darigayo's Point fire was discovered
between decks. It soon spread to
1000 cases of petroleum, and then
all hope of saving the ship was
abandoned.
The life-boats were capsized by
the Chinese. Sharks made short
work of these and in this manner
the second engineer, quartermaster,
steward and second officer lost their
lives. Many jumped overheard and
were devoured by sharks. Those
who reached one of the boats filed
it to excess and the sharks leaped
into the air to snatch their prey.
The panic was fearful. Sharks
came in droves and hundreds of
them could be seen around the
blazing steamer.
The San. Juan was towed into
Manila still on fire. Including Of
ficers and crew there were 283
people on board, and the sharks and
flames must have devoured ie2.

LEASE.
The Reading Combination BrOik-
en- and Wilbur Resigns as
Receiver.


On Tuesday afternoon q dispatch
signed by third Vice President
Garrett, was sent to all the station
agents along the line of the Lehigh,
which read as follows
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. s.
To all Station agents:
All revenue from Lehigh Valley busi-
ness which may now be in your hands,
and all hereafter collected, should be de
posted by United States Express with f.
Z. Wilbur Trust Company, South Bethle-
hem, and advices made to w. G. Alderson
treasurer, and Isaac McQuilken, comp
troller. this company having to-day re-
sumed possession and operation of its
line, under direction of court as of first
instant.
JOHN b. GARRETT,
ThiId Vice President
This action was taken because the
Philadelphia & Reading Coal and
Iron Co. failed to pay 1868, ,76s.63
for coal purchased from the Lehigh
Valley Coal Co. prior to the Read
ing receivership, and which default
violated the lease. The Lehigh
Valley r. r. petitioned the United
States Circuit Court to abrogate the
lease, and the Reading receivers as
senting, Judge Dallas ordered the
separation, The latter also ap-
pointed John Lowber Welsh to sue
ceed Elisha P. Wilbur as Read
ing receiver, Mr.. Wilbur resigning
because of alleged ill-health. Mr.;
Wilbur will probably soon retire
from the Reading board of managers
but will retain the Presidency of the
Lehigh Valley. 1t was provided in
the lease that if the agreement be-
tween the coal companies, each of
which is controlled by its respective
road, should be terminated for any
reason, then the lease of the Lehigh
