CONVICTED ON RAPE CHARGE
THEODORE SCHEHINSKY GETS TWO AND
AsHALF YEARS FOR HIS
FIENDISH CRIME.
William Snyder Comes Out Victorious
in His Litigation With Tax Coll
leCtOr Scanlan on a Tech
nical Point.

Theodore Schelinski, Polish resident
of this place, was convicted at the Potts
vile court yesterday on charges of rape
and statutory rape. The prosecution was
instituted upon oath of the mother of IA.
year.old Mary A. Kritulski, also of town.
The accused man was boarder at the
house Of the prosecutor. The crime was
not discovered until some time after it
was committed and the accused sue
ceeded in smothering matters over for
a time by promising to marry the child.
About two weeks ago he male arrange
ments TO leave the town without fulfill
ing his promise and was arrested on the
charges stated. Although Schelinski had
money with which to employ counsel he
refused to apply it TO that end and the
court appoin ed H. o. Bechtel and A. D.
Knittle, Esqs., to represent him.
The case was tried before Judge
Bechtel, The trial was short one. The
girl swore that she was enticed into the
mans room and that the crime was
accompanied with violence. Schelinski,
who is 2S years OF age, was promptly con-
victed and Immediately after the verdict
was rendered Judge Bechte sentenced
him to imprisonment for two and a half
years and to pay a fine of SIS and the
costs.

Odd Financiering.

The Borough Treasurer makes his
deposits in the Merchants National Bank
of town and the borough does not receive
one cent of interest, and this week, when
the borough had about $4,000 on deposit
in the bank, note for s., $50 was given to
the Jeanesviile Iron Works and the bor-
ough was obliged to pay over 1925 as dis
count. In other words the borough pays
S125 bonus for the use of its own money: :

NOTES.

The be e ball editor of the Carbondale
Anthracite dipped his pen in poetic fluid
yesterday and told the story of the game
between the club OF that place and the
Shenandoahs on Wednesday in the fol-
lowing language:
or all the punky hitters that come from
Punky town,
The Huns from Shenandoah are orownest OF
the brown
With Ola NJ Nevins pitching and all his
rocky crew,
They should scratch out a winning in a century
or two.
That third was hard upon us, the black art,
mystic hits
Were Flmost our undoing. 1t caused mos
awful fits
To cha.e around the players who 9. and M.
doth wear,
They thought they saw the game won and
with Joy they tore their hair.
East Side, West Side all aroudd the lot,
The little Texas leaguers came and they we're
far from rot
But Mac is great at kidding and surely twas q
shame
For when they thought they had 1t cinched
our boys won out the game.

SNYDER WON THE CASE.
The Charge Made by Tax Collector Scam
Ian Dismissed on a Technicality.

The Charge Made by Tax Collector Scan-
Ian Dismissed on a Technicality.
William Snyder has won the suit
brought against him by Tax Collector
Scanlan for interfering with an officer.
Several weeks ago Snyder and his driver
had charge of wagon which was loaded
with furniture belonging to a man who
was moving from town to Mahanoy City.
Scanlan stopped the wagon, but Snyder
instructed his driver to proceed to Maha-
noy City, which the latter did. Scanlan
then caused Snyder's arrest, The case
came up in Pottsville yesterday. w. j..
Whitehouss, Esq, raised objection to the
indictment on the ground that Snyder
was not guilty of larceny because he did
not take the goods from the collector aud
appropriate them to his own use, but that
the proper charge was the taking of goods
from the tax collector after they had been
levied upon. The District Attorney con.
CURED in the view and a mol. pros. was
entered, the costs being put on the county.
On the charge of interfering with an
officer in connection with the same matter
Snyder was acquitted and the costs were
put on the county. The result of the case
is that Scanlan gets no taxes.

AS we sit out on he bleach ers and yell and
As The pitcner for The home team strikes
Three
Men
Out
Manager Brennan, of the Shenandoah
base ball club, returned from Carbon
dale last night and his club returned to
day after concluding it's first trip. AL
though the club has no scalps dangling
from its belt, the management is not dis.
couraged. Mr. Brennan says that the
players are doing their work faithfully
and that the defeats are due more to hard
luck than anything else. The teams
work at Carbondale, he says, was handi.
capped by trees in the field. A lack of
catchers was q serious draw back, but the
engagement of King and the arrival Of
Ford will do away with that difficulty
for while.
Manager Brennan says the talk abont a
town syndicate being able to and anxious
to take hold of the team is all bosh. He
went around several weeks ago begging
for chance to sell, but no one would
respond. If there is syndicate it can
secure the franchise, but not for nothing.
Mr.. Brennan says he is the only man
having money in the club and if sale is
made he wants TO get his own out OHe
thousand dollars will not cover what has
been deposited with the league and spent
thus far for railway fares and other
expenses.
Today the home team opens a series of
ten straight games at the Trotting park.
This is something unprecedented in the
history of local base bali and the manage
ment will require good patronage to pull
through with the guarantees for such
stretch. 1t is necessary that the games
shall be played, however, as each club in
the league is TO receive a similar dose once
during the season. 1t requires some
courage to face such an engagement, but
Manager Brennan seems equal to the
occasion and expresses the belief that he
will be able to pull through.
Manager Brennan went to Pottsville
this morning to appear as prosecutor
against one Thomas Watson, of town, o.
charge of malicious mischief, Watson
is one of the people who do not believe in
respecting rights of property. One day
| during the beginning OF Jhe present
season Watson deliberately tore three
boards from the base ball fence, and in
spite of warnings given by the watch
man. An example is to be made in this
case and latter on the management will
begin making examples OF the rail birds
by arresting few at each game until the
offenders realize that it is cheaper to
either pay for admission, or remain away
from the grounds.
The game at Carbondale yesterday re-
suited in an easy victory for the home
team, Matten being pounded. In the
ninth inning the Shenandoahs did con.
siderable hitting and ran up eight runs
to their score, making the result look
more creditable than it did up to the clo-e
of the eighth inning. Little and Carey
played well in the game. Score

The Unfortunate Cornell Crew.

Henley, July 1.-The Cornell men
held a meeting last evening, and re-
solved, subject to the approval of the
University of Ithaca, to send two crew s
to Henley in 1896. The necessary funds
were arranged for. A number of the
trustees, professors and other supporters
of the university were present, and the
utmost enthusiasm prevailed.
Fennell of the Cornell crew. who
collapsed in the boat yesterday, was much
better this morning, but he has not
entirely recovered from his exhaustion.
The British papers generally are disparag-
ing in their comments on the Cornell
crews performance, although some do not
take that view.
The London News says: Tuesdays
fiasco gave the Americans possibly quite
undeservedly, the reputation of helng
poor sportsmen, and also made the public
desperately anxious to see the Trinity
Hall crew score at the expense of the
visitors 1t was a significant sign of the
feeling created that scarcely a single
cheer was raised for the losers, which was
quite contrast to the vociferous applause
bestowed on the Argonauts after their
lucky struggle Tuesday

a good deal of unreasonable prejudice
against the Cornell men for their share in
Tuesdays incident, when the Leander
boat was left at the posi-.

DEERING.
Editor L. b. Chapman Charged With
Contempt Of Court.

Chief st. John Served the warrant-Judge
Hopkins Makes the Prosecution-A Re-
g suit of Difficulties ofsLong Standing.
There is blood on the moon in Deering
City Marshal St John, yesterday after
noon called on Editor L. B. Chapman of
the Deering News, and showed him a
warrant for his arrest for contempt of
Judge Hopkinss S court Editor Chapman
gave his word that he would appear in
court this morning, and was not put
under arrest
These proceedings are the result of a
difficulty of long standing. Mr.. Chapman
has claimed that some of the city officials
OF Deering have not allowed him proper
privileges in regard to looking over the
city records The officials on their part
declare that they have given Mr.. Chap
man all proper facilities There has been
more or less talk that Mr. Chapman
would bring legal proceedings against the
city clerk, but nothing of the sort has
been done.
The present phase of difficulty arises
about the records of the Deering
Municipal court, over which Judge
Hopkins presides. Mr.. Chapman has
criticized the methods Of the court and
complained that he could not get access
to the records as he wanted to. The pro-
ceedings of yesterday arise out of some
thing that happened in the court room
Wednesday forenoon. Mr.. Chapman
brought up the matter of the records, and
complained that he was denied access to
them Judge Hopkins told him that he
could see them at proper times, and then
turned them over to him. Mr.. Chapman
examined them some time, probably about
halfa hour. Among the records was a
writ which Judge Hopkins demanded
Mr.. Chapman did not give it up. Judge g
Hopkins demanded it third time, and
the writ not being given up, turned and
walked out of the room. A bystander
says that Mr.. Chapman made motion
to give up the writ, but after Judge
Hopkins had turned away.
Yesterday afternoon Judge Hopkins
swore out a warrant charging Mr.. Chap
man with contempt of court, and Chief
St. John served it, as already stated
The case is expected to come up this
morning; and will probably attract much
attention.

| to the door of the shed or ell of the house
Everything seemed about to tumble te
pieces. The old door was apparently worr
as thin as shingle by time and the
elements and looked as if vigorous
kick would break it in. 1t was fastened
| by a heavy paddock.
| The dumb man unlocked this and went
out came the lonesomest little dog in the
State of Maine
| He was a small dog about two feet long
He was very fat showing the lack of ex
ercise and the abundance of food His
black curly hair was very long and his
feet were perfect mats, the hair and claws
being of extraordinary length.
| But the most peculiar thing about
him was his eyes. They were simply
white balls showing very plainly against
the black fur 1t was very apparent that
the dog was stone blind
| The old man said Chat the dog was only
seven years old, and that his brother had
kept him there ever since he was a puppy.
What makes him blind?
The old man didn't know before that
he was blind.
A glance at the interior of the shed
showed plainly the reason of his blind
ness 1t was dark. For some reason OF
other the dumb man had boarded up the
one window, and when the door was shut
1t must have been almost perfectly dark
inside. The space was very small and
was so filled with mass of old rubbish
of all descriptions that there was only a
narrow passageway leading from the out
side door to the door of the kitchen. In
this passageway. the dog was kept, chained
with chain large enough almost for a
yoke of oxen
On opening the kitchen door, that room
furniture and rubbish, inconceivably
dirty and dusty.
Mr. George Tripp explained that in
winter his brother built a fire in there
and kept the dog there. But it is hardly
possible that he could or would have
kept coal fire there in the winter nights.
Agent Perry told the older brother to
tell the dumb man that he must take
the dog down to the house where they
lived and keep it there. Otherwiseihe
should shoot the dog
When this was communicated to the
dumb'man he expressed great disapproyal
and dissent. Agent Perry stepped up to
him, pointed to the dog, then, to the
house, then waved his arm in the direc-
tion of the other house and then drew a
bead on the dog as if aiming gun.
The dumb man understood and started
off with the dog across the fields.
