A COMPLICATED CASE.
How the Darby 0ooney Licsnss Contest
Wasat LAst Decidtd.

Perhaps the most stubborn fight ever
made in our courts over a license transfer
was that one just decided by the court at
Pottsville granting to p. c. Darby, of
Minersyille, license for the place re.
Gently occupied by William j. Cooney,
No. 1l2 South Centre street, Pottsville
John f. Cooney, Of the Academy restaur-
ant, was an applicant for the same place
and had prepared himself by transferring
his Academy license to his brother
Michael and securing from William a
paper which was intended to be a bill Of
sale of the personal property in the place
in dispute. Joseph Schonder, who had
judgment of about $500 against William
Cooney, had caused an execution to issue
and the goods were sold by the sheriff and
bought by Schonders attorney for
Schonder This was all subsequent to
the sale of the place to Z. G. Darby by
Schonder's attorney, acting under au-
thority of his client, who had an agree
ment with William j. Cooney to sell the
place for the best price obtainable, which
was $3.50. After this sale was Consum-
mated Schonder by letter, affidavit and yer.
bally Endorsed the action of his attorney
but subsequently forgot himself so far as
to take the witness stand and repudiate
the bargain. His attorney had fortunately
preserved Schonder's letters and ahi
davit and when these were shown
to the court the attorney was
vindicated and Darby's right to the
place was established Yet the court
properly withheld its decision until Mr..
Darby secured possession of the premises
which he had no trouble in doing when
the agents became satisfied that the
Minersville man would get the licen.e.
During this litigation, Mr. Schonder,
to save the money he had already ad-
vanced to help William J. Cooney dis
charge a debt to his brother John, who
was pushing him by legal process, put up
more good money for rent to keep the
landlord off, and yet by his change of
front from his bargain with Mr.. Darby
to a coalition with the other side through
the double-dealing of alleged friends he
becomes the heaviest loser in the trans
action.

Time and Gold Brought
Bronza Into Limbo.
A DAST'ARDLY ATTEMPT
In Seeking Revenge Upon His Former
Boarding Mistress tho Man Would KIN
Innocent People by Blowing Up the
House-successful watching.

On the night of December 18th, last,
the residents of West Coal street were
startled from their slumbers by the re-
port of an explosion, followed by the
screams of women and men. An investi-
CATION showed that the explosion had
been caused by a quantity of powder
placed under a boarding house on Coal
street kept by Mrs. Maggie Gostitus.
The force of the explosion wrecked a
good part of the foundation wall and
ripped off several weather boards on one
side of the house. Some pieces of rags
caught fire at the same time and blaze
started
For nearly month the cause and mo-
tive of the explosion remained a mystery
but after considerable very clever detec-
tive work Special Officer Alexis CLEANED
sufficient evidence to warrant the arrest
of one John BronZa, who had been one of
Mrs. GOstitus boarders and who had a
disagreement with her. Evidence was
collected to show that Bronza had de-
clared he would blow up the house and
kill the woman.
The suspected man accidently learned
that he was to be arrested and disap-
peared last January. Alexis followed
him to MahanoY Plane and Gilberton,
and subsequently to Silver Brook but at
the latter place the fugitive disappeared
as If he had been swallowed up by the
earth and for nearly three months his
whereabouts remained a mystery.
Shortly after the disappearance Alexis
learned that Brouza had Sl60 on deposit
with John j. Bobbin, the n. Main street
merchant, and he concluded to watch it.
The clue proved a good one. This morn
ing Bronza walked into Bobbiu's store to
claim his money and as he did so Alexis
placed him under arrest
The dynamiter was at first inclined to
show fight, but little determination on
the part of the officer had its effect and
the prisoner walked quietly to Justice
Williams Office. He refused to make a
statement further than deny his guilt
and in default of $500 bail was committed
to the lookup to await hearing of the
evidence against him at six o'clock this
evening.

John Gof, a young man residing on
West Centre street, this town, died at the
home of his grandmother in Ashland
yesterday morning and the remains were
brought to the residence OF his parents
here last evening. The report that the
young man died at the Miners Hospital
is incorrect. He was admitted to the in
stitution on March 18th, last, having had
one of his hands and arms crushed in the
mines, but not so bad as to require ampu-
tation. A constitutional ailment devel-
oped and last Monday he was removed
from the hospital to the home of his
grandmother.

on Own ErrnlIc setLey

William Setley, the pride of the Shen-
andOah base ball patrons who kept the
home management on the anxious bench
for many weeks last summer by his dar-
and his eccentric whims between games,
which eliminated in an elopement and
marriage with a dark-haired and blue
eyed Girardville young woman, now has
the managements of other base ball clubs
in the pot of speculation and worriment.
The Altoona Gazette says: "Where Setley
has gone to is uncertain. 1t is known,
however that his wife, who was living in
HOllidaysburg, received, a few days ago, Il
letter from her husband enclosinga ticket
to Staunton, Va. and also 80 bill As
Setley is said TO have been indebted to the
management, it is hard to see where both
ticket and money came from"

more contractors.
This incensed the home people and they
loudly protested against foreign labor.
About 200 formed into a line Of parade and
called on Mayor LoucSs, who referred
them to Captain w II. Lanius, president
of the street railway. The men marched
to his home in the West End and were
granted an interview. Captain Lanius
stated that the colored men were skilled
track layers and as the iron for the ex-
tension was delayed they were put to work
to save the expense from their being idle.
He promised them all work as soon as
the iron arrived, saying that he always
gave work at home when it could be done.
Then the men dispersed.

TO De the largest mastodon ever discover
cd has been found within three miles
east of this city. The discovery was
made over o month ago by a farmer, and
A. FL. Sites, a druggist OF this city, owns
q half interest in it. The work OF IN
earthing it has been going ON ever since,
but only a part Of the mammoth has
been discovered. Today Mr.. Sites
brought one of the teeth to the city and
put it on exhibition at his store where
it. attracted a great deal OF attention.
The tooth is III inches long, five inches
across and IL inches deep, but the roots
are broken off and not full length. The
skeleton Of the mammoth is over 40 feet
long and 10 feet vide and has tusks
which, Mr.. Sites says, will weigh about
600 pounds. They are 6 inches through
and over IL feet long and are curved in a
semi-circle. Mr. Sites will tomorrow
take out men and derricks and raise the
spine and tusks, and the remainder will
be taken out as rapidly as possible. He
thinks it will take at least another month
to get it all out. The owners OF the
mammoth will place no value on their
e I'd, but say il is worth several thousand
dollars. This is the second n which
has been found here. The other was
discovered within three blocks OF the
business part OF the city in 1891, but it
was not a quarter as large as this.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. - Assistant
Chief Appraiser Reed OF the Red Lake
force of estimators now in Washington.
has recommended to the department
that the work of surveying known as
cross-sectioning, be pushed as rapidly
as possible through thu q nippswa pine
country. The pine is estimated by 40
acre tracts, and the lack of cross
section lines seriously impades the
work of the estimators. Commissioner
Lamoreaux says that the recommends
ton would be put into effect at once
MIR. Reed reports hat the people in
the vicinity of Red Lake reservation
are very anxious that it be thrown open
to settlement at once, and thinks that
there would be a very large immigra-
ton of an agricultural population into
the reservation another season If the
lands were put ON the market.
