A Cool Attempt at Theft in a

"IT WAS ONLY A MISTAKE"

at WAS ONLY A MISTAKE"

A man of very dilapidate appearance
and wo,tul expression of countenance en-
tered Goldin's clothing store, on South
Main street yesterday afternoon, and asked
to be shove some overcoats. The request
was made with such assurance that Sales
man O'Hara was thrown off his guard
and he spent some time in displaying
overcoats of various styles and prices.
The supposed customer eventually got a
nice black chinchilla overcoat on his back
and while O'Hara had his back turned
slipped out of the store.
The salesman gave chase and stopped
the man, who protested with amazing
GOODNESS that the coat was his own and
| that he had never been in Goldin's store.
He was taken back to the store, however,
| and held until Chief Burgess Burns ar
rived and took him in custody. When
| taken before Justice Shoemaker the
prisoner said he was James Murphy and
was from Newark, N. j., but had recently
been at Shamokin. He was subsequently,
identified as man named Leary, of
Mahanoy City.
The accused pleaded guilty to having
possession of the overcoat, but denied
that he was guilty OF stealing it. He
proSested that he forgot that he had a
new coat Sr-&i i back when he walked out
of the place and INT ths whole affair was
only mistake. Justice SIHSsiH4ssa-ker com
mitted him for trial in default of~Srvt>
bail.
In searching Leary at the lookup Chief
Burgess Burns found six tools used by
shoemakers, one being sharp kuife.
There was also found a bundle of samples

DIETRICH ON THE STAND.

Auditors,

Auditors,
The most important witness at the
County Auditors fishing expedition at
Pottsville yesterday, was Poor Director
Neri Dietrick, but nothing of sensa-
tional character was elected. Mr.. Dietrick
said if everything said against Steward
Hartman is true he is not a fit man
for his position. In answer to question
as to whether he believed Hartman guilty,
Mr.. Dietrich said the Steward would have
his case tried in court. The Director said
he had not learned of Director Days
anxiety to have Hartman reappointed
and he did not know that quick appoint
ments had been urged. In conclusion Mr..
Dietrick said he did not think there is a
necessity to make the almshOuse appoint.
ments before April lst. 1t would be a
good thing, he said, if the court made all
the appointments. That would take a
burden off the directors. The State Board
of Charities should take charge of the
hospitals.

A small but highly appreciative
audience witnessed the production of

The funeral of Jacob Fisher, the farmer
who was decapitated by an engine on a
trestle of the Philadelphia & Reading

night, after heroically saving the life Of
his wife, will take place at Ringtown on

Mrs. Fisher will recover from her in

legs will coufine her to her home for some

in very fair condition this morning.
She suffers somewhat from the mental
strain caused by the terrible experience.
The statement that Fisher was survived
by three children is erroneous. There is
but one, son fifteen years of age.

That he is willing to succeed Senator
Daniel, no one ever doubted, however
superficial their knowledge of the
man, but by what means he hopes to
be able able to dupe the people into
believing that he is worthy to be the
successor of a man who has filled the
Office so creditably to himself and so
honorably to the State is yet to be
developed. He does not, of course,
hope to displace our present distin-
guished Senator, on the ground that
he is his peer in ability-both are too
well known in Virginia, for him to
expect the people of the State to
consent TO his promotion for that
reason. He cannot hope to be elected
Senator over Major Daniel, because
of his distinguished services to the
State-everybody almost believes
that he has already been sufficiently
rewarded in that respect. That he
has been hoping for and is still hope
full of something turning up, however,
to give him an advantage over Sena-
tor Daniel is too evident to be ques
toned, but that nothing is likely tc
materalize in his favor, we are happy
to believe, nowithat the citizens o.
Virginia regardless of their views or
the silver question, are declaring il
many sections of the State in favol
of Daniel.

valuable farms of the Eastern

this is one of the most beautiful

also, belonging to this estate,
several small tracts to be sold at
same time-one a tract of tim

small dwelling houses. The

fourth of the purchase money
will be required in cash and the
residue in three equal install

The statesmen of both political
parties of the present day are very
unpatriotic, if they are to be believed,
in their unwillingness to serve the
country as its President. Two of
the latest to put themselves upon
record, in that line, are old man John
Sherman, who says, he is too old and
Secretary Carlisle, who says the
duties Of the Office are too arduous.
That, they would rather be right
than to be President would have
been an excuse, perhaps, that their
henchmen of both political parties
would have respected, but that they
will consent to dispense with their
services for the frivolous rea-
sons they have given is too
much for them to ask. To
decline a thing which has not
been offered is an old dodge to call
attention, so as to secure it in poll
tics as in other lines of business, and
Carlisle and Sherman like other poll
ticians could doubtless soon be
convinced that the Presidential
plum was too big a one to be declined.
