Is certain amount of conjecture as to
the intention Of the management re-
garding winter sport A foot ball
eleven has been organized, its makeup
including the best material in the
county. The past week the team has
been in hard practice work at the ball
park. John j. Murphy has been the
coacher. After Wednesday there will
be a decisive step taken in making out
a schedule, so that games will be played
here every Wednesday and Saturday
during the season.
After winter weather sets in and
skating becomes the craze the ball park
will be flooded and a skating pond
built. This is the intention Of the
management as given out by gentle
man connected with it.

SHE STOLE THOUSANDS.
Pretty Beaver Valley Postofios Clerk
opsned R. gistered Latters.

Opened Registered Letters.
WAMPUM, Pa, Sept. 8 William II.
Brady and Frank Majors are partners
in mercantile business hers. Brady
is also the village postmaster. Miss
Ella Majors, IA daughter of Brady's
partner. has been acting as the post
masters assistant. The girls Is years
old, very pretty and moved in the best
local society.
Tonight she is under arrest charged
with stealing thousands of dollars. IL
has been developed in connection with
the official inquiry now in progress
that Miss Majors has been a hign- roller
at shopping. on such a scale as buying
bicycle worth $l25. and giving it TO a
girl friend; buying a diamond ring
worth $l25, from Jowelers Cubbison 81
Taylor, OF New Castle; a gold watch
costing nearly 500, and sending it to a
woman in Maine, person she had
never seen,. but of whose exploit in
some admirable performance Miss Ma
iors had read in the newspapers. Then
there were dry goods bills OF $3.50 at
Brown 81 Hamilton's. New Castle and
at Boggs g. Bulbs, in Allegheny.
How these things could have been
kept from the knowlege of her family
does not appear; or why there was no
suspicion OF something wrong among
those who sold the goods. Recently
there3 was trouble over missing re.
gistersd letters at this office, and two
weeks ago the department took the
matter in hand, Detectives speedily
ran the game down.
The stealings. so far as now known,
began about the first of last May. Miss
Majors would abstract money from
registered letters, sign fictitious names
to the receipts and enter them as hav-
ing been forwarded TO Pittsburg. 1t is
probable that the latter will not be
prosecuted, as her father is abundantly
able to make good the losses to his
partner, Postmaster Brady.

AFTER THE LYNCHERS
Tennessee Authorities Make an Effort to
Prosecute Murders Of Negroes.

Prosecute Murders Of Negroes
MEMPHIS. Sept, 0--The grand Jury
which had been in session all day yes.
terdav Mt 10. 30 last night returned six
true bills against N. Strickfaden, jim
Herley and Ed Smith for murder. They
are charged with being parties to tbs
lynching OF six negroes at Wellington
on the night Of Aug. 81. These three
had already been arrested on bench
warrants, but their indictments created
considerable excitement following the
action Of the grand jury. Judge Loper
issued bench warrant for Assistant
Jailor Wilcox on u charge of perjury.
Wilcox, who was in the ante room wait
ing to appear before the grand jury,
was arrested and jailed.
Ii is reported that the mob which
lynched the negroes did not consist of
over ten persons, and this looks bad for
Richardson, the detective, who stated
it consisted of fifty men. The mon
would not have made the attack unless
they had had an understanding with
Richardson. The whole plot will be
laid bare in day or so, at least that is
what the officers say.
