Justice Williams yesterday afternoon
heard testimony in connection with the
street store, and held Constine Kowal-
chock on charge of receiving stolen
goods. The case hinges on pair of socks.
Considerable underwear which was found
in the neighborhood of KOwalchock' s
house was identified by the robbed
merchant who also identified a new pair
OF socks found in a bureau in kowal-
chock's house. The accused said the socks
were purchased at Max SupowitZ's store
about two months ago, but when Mr..
Supowitz was called as a witness he said
he had not handled goods Of exactly the
character of the stolen goods for six
months. Kowalchock was held in $500
bAil for trial.

Loyal Citizens of the Town
Observe Memorial Day.
THE PARADE ABANDONED
After Waiting For the Weather to Clear
aud the Prospects Failing to Brighten
the Veterans Abandoned Formal
Observance of the Day.

Memorial Day opened with light
showers and dark, ominous clouds and it
was feared there would be another day of
the kind which last week proved so
diyagreeable. But these unpleasant casts
of the heavens did not chill the ardor of
those who held the honoring of loyalty
and heroism in sweet and sacred remem-
brance.
In most of the streets waving and
Tapping bunting, with occasionally a sign
of mourning met the eye and evidenced
the spirit of the town and the OCCASION
But few streets failed to wave the coun'
try's colors.
The mem bers of the G. A. r. remained
about their headquarters at RefOwich's
hall until half past nine o'clock, when
they decided to abandon the parade on
account of the disagreeable weather.
The veterans did not, however, entirely
abandon the observance of the day, but
retained the carriages and proceeded to
the different cemeteries and decorated the
graves.
All formal ceremonies at the cemeteries
were dispensed with and the Grafton of
the day was delivered at 2 o'clock this
afternoon by Rev. William Powick, pastor
of the NJ. f.. church in Refowich's hall
The address was eXcellently adapted to the
spirit of the day and was full of whole
some, patriotic sentiment.
The following is a list of the dead
heroes whose graves were decorated:

am informed that a good joke was
played upon a North Main street saloon
keeper on Monday evening, and that as
result every patron of his place is now
compelled to produce conclusive evidence
that they are of the male gender before
imbibing Of liquid refreshments over his
bar. 1t appears that certain friends of
the aforesaid saloon keeper persuaded a
young lady to bedeCk herself in male at
tire, and under the guidance of man
with a partiality to practical joking eu-
tered the saloon and were innocently
served with a cigar. The amusing feature
Of the affair was the fact that a candidate
for Office, surrounded by number of ad-
miring friends, was i'm the place at the
time and bestowed upon the bogus voter
much attention with the fond hopes of
adding another to his already long list of
followers and admirers Much amuse-
ment is said to have been INDUCED in
when the true state of affairs became
known, and the statesman i'm question is
now dubbed the Female sulTragist."

evening as hundred couples fashiOnabiy

Time and again have called the atten-

now consider it "chestnuty." Neverthe-
less, / believe the police should not permit

fest the street corners on Main street. A
woman cannot pass without hsing in

Cleveland has anything to do with the
spread of the protection sentiment as
promulgated by Henry Clay, but ! do
know that clubs bearing the name of the
great Kentucky statesman are springing
up in Schuylkill. Pottsville started the
boom, Republican Ashland followed and
now our own town, l am told, will soon

good work go on. The times are ripe for

Why, no one is able to explain. Why
there has been so much delay all along no
one offers to explain. and every effort to
obtain information makes involvement
more involved. This is clear, however,
that the American people are indignant
that the case should drag along; that it
should be found impossible under our
judicial system to bring a murderer to
justice short of term of years; that the
people are outraged by the statement
made in yesterdays news dispatches that
the courts and the lawyers have so mud
died the case that it is now held by attor-
neys that Prendergast never can be pun
ished. All this is shameful; if criminal
practice of the law. instead of clearing
the way to justice, is allowed to be prac-
tice that impedes and hinders, and frees
where it should bind, then reformation of
the practice must set in, and the sooner
the lawgivers set about the task the bet
