THE MILLS OF
JUSTICE GRIND
Difficulties Which Get People Into
the Legal Controversies.
POLITICIANS AMONG THEM
A Discussion over the Approaching
Republican Delegate Elections Leads
Two Young Men Into Trouble.

Justice Shoemaker's court worked full
time last night and for several hours the
Justice was kept busy issuing warrants
for end patching up differences between
litigaEts Among the most noteworthy
cases was that in which young man
Edward Roberts appeared as complain
ant.
According to Mr.. Roberts he had an
argument with George Holvey about the
approaching Republican delega- e cleo
tiOns. 1t is not quite clear just how the
argument ran, but something was said
about some particular person carrying a
ward in his vest pocket and that caused
somebody to call somebody else a liar
Messrs. Roberts and Holvey disagree as
to who used the word liar. Their respec-
tive versions on that point differ materi-
ally, but litigants and witnesses agree
that Holvey's fist and Roberts face
collided The latter then sued. Holvey
waived a hearing this morning and en-.
tered bail.

choeski was relieved of her clothing.
Suit was instituted before Justice Shoe
maker and Mary Ann gave bail for post
ponement.
When Peter SchosRi returned from
work yesterday afternoon he discovered
tn at the coat pocket in which his money
was secreted had been ripped open and re
lieved of twenty Russian roubles. His
suspicious fell upon a fellow boarder who
occupied the sleeping quarters by day.
Knowing the weakness of his countrymeu
for drink, Peter made a tour of the
saloons and in Joe Rynkiewicz's 's
resort learned that William Ulczew
ski had exchanged two ten-rouble
notes for ten dollars in Ameri
can currency and had spent the money
freely. Ulczewski was traced to Goldin's
clothing store, where he had been attired
in fashions heighth and later to Franey's
saloon, where he was playing pool. He
was taken before Justice Shoemaker and
| required to furnish bail for a further
hearing to night.
Joe Wallante and John Demfnct
skipped Mrs. Demcuskie's boarding house
without paying the bill, but forgot theil
working clothes, which were bundled and
ready to be carried away. This was clue
enough for Constable Giblin, who took III
position in the coal shanty to await
their return. At about a. m. he was
aroused by stealthy footsteps within the
coal shanJy and a second after could dis
tinguish two forms moving toward the
clothing. Giblin wasn't slow in laying
hold of them. There was a short struggle
but it was of no use and the pair were
locked up for a hearing tonight.

OVER AN EMBANKMENT.
Eight P. & R. Freight Cars Leave the
Track-NO Person Injured.

Eight P. & R. Freight Cars Leave the
Track-NO Person Injured.
Special to EVENING HERALD.
MAHANoY CITY, July 2G.-A disastrous
wreck occurred here on the Philadelphia
& Reading Railroad shortly after four
o'clock this morning, but fortunately no
lives were lost and no person was injured,
although there were a number of exceed
ingly narrow escapes One of the cars in
the wreck was loaded with dynamite and
it is considered miracle that an explosion
did not occur.
The train that figured in the wreck was
made up of loaded and empty freight cars
drawn by engine No. Gil, in charge of
John Reichelderfer, conductor, and An
drew Frank, engineer. 1t was bound
from Tamaqua to Newberry. AS the train
passed through the western part of the
town the drawhead of the third car from
the engine pulled out. Unconscious of
what had happened the engineer kept up
his speed until he approached the electric
railway crossing, when he put ON brakes.
At this point the forward section had
gained about 500 feet on the rear section,
but before the brakeman of the latter
part cOul d communicate with the engineer
or the latter could realize what
had happened the rear section crashed
into the cars attached to the engine. The
collision was a terrific one Eight cars of
the rear part of the train ran off the
track and took slanting course down the
twenty-foot embankment. All the cars
remained upright Harry Sassaum, a
brakeman, was on the top of the fourth
car and remained there until the car
stopped at the foot of the embankment,
when he climbed down uninjured and
received the congratulations of the rest
of the crew.
Wreck crews from Mahanoy Plane and
Tamaqua were sent to the scene and by
half past nine they got the tracks suftic-
iently cleared to allow the passage of
trains. 1t will take several days to clean
up the wreck
OF the cars that went down the EN-
bankment one was loaded with dynamite,
one with merchandise and the rest were
empty. 1t is considered most extraordin-
airy that the dynamite did not explode.
If it had the effect would have been as
founding.
While the tracks were being cleared a
transfer system was put in operation for
the passenger trains,

plause of the assembled calicoes and shut
out the singles in four innings. Leary, Of
the Bachelors, got two of the four hits
made off Nichols. In the seventh inning
there were three Bachelors on bases, ant
but one out. when Greener made a great

To Be Discontinued.

1t is rumored that the existence of the
Pottsville Despatch will cease this week.
With it comes the statement that the
Despatch was changed from a morning

conflict with the journal and that as the
contracts which were ON the Despatch's
hands at the time the combination was
made have been carried out the publica-
tion can now be conveniently dropped.
The change will give the consolidated

ATTESTED BEFORE A WOMAN.
Ground on Which a Bank Seeks TO
Knock Out Preferred Claims.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 1.-THE
promise of commercial and political scan
dal growing out of the suit of the Louis
vile Banking Company for receiver for
the wholesale liquor house of oliver &
O'Bryan, recentlv bankrupt, was discussed
among the lawyers at a meeting of the
Bar Association to-day. The defendants
are the creditors of the failed firm who
were preferred by means Of chattel mort
cages, and the plaintiffs allege conspir-
acy somewhere to defraud creditors who
are not preferred. The preferred creditors
of Oliver & O'Bryan hold claims against
the firm amounting to S445OO. These credi-
tors are the n V. Monarch Company, of
Bank of Kansas City; Robert Pattson, of
the New England safe Deposit and Trust
Company; Benjamin Hoyt, of the Western
Storage and Warehouse Company; I. B.
Aldrich, Callahan & Co, Davis County Dis
tilllng Company, Mound City Distiling
Company, Glassner & Barsen Company, 4.
j. Curley q Co. and ". ". Collins.
The plaintiffs claim against Oliver a.
O'Bryan grew out OF the big scandal at
Louisville, two years ago, when IL was dis
covered that the country had been Hooded
with hundreds of dollars worth of Forged
warehouse receipts. oliver * OBryan had
been assigned some of the forged certin-
Gates and the Louisville Banking Company
drew upon them for the amount, but before
the draft reached mere the fraud was as
covered and Oliver < O'Bryan refused to
pay The Louisville Banking Company sued
and got Judgment, and on this Judgment
il is now working. The plaintins attor-
news raised a novel point, that the pre-
ferred creditors claims, which are secured
bv chattel mortgage, are not good because
they were attested before woman. 1t is
currently reported that county officials Will
become involved by the suit because of
their having il is claimed, made improper
purchases OF whisky certificates.
