Rush Of Business NecesSitateS Employ
ment of Assistants.
The volume of business in the criminal
courts of this county has increased to
such an extent that it has become ueces-
sary to increase the working force of offic-
ials to handle it. District Attorney Ryon
found business crowding him so much
that yesterday he appointed Jas. J Moran,
young attorney of some promise, Dep
uty District Attorney, being assigned to
draw bills of indictment, issue su 9poenas
and inquire into the time served at court
by witnesses and certify the same to the
docket clerk, "nder the new rule adopted
at the opening of the present term OF
court. The new rule has also placed more
work on the shoulders of Richard T.
Lewis, the Docket Clerk, and he has been
given an assistant in the person of Joseph
A. Schmidt, who has been acting as clerk
and interpreter in the District Attorneys
Office The latter appointment was made
by the County Commissioners.

The P. & R. C. & l. Co. Tracing Bene-
ficiarieS of Fraud.
A HOPES CASE SEQUEL
The Convicted Clerk Tells Story Showing
That TeamSterS COnnived With His
System of Fraud.

The Philadelphia and Reading Coal a I'd
Iron Company is evidently determined to
pull out root and trunk all branches of
the fraudulent system of coal order busi
ness from which it mas suffered for some
| time pasJ and which was brought to light
| by the arrest and confession of S. S. Hop.
pes, who was clerk at one of the com
pany's Mahanoy City collieries and is now
serving term in the county Jail for the
otfense. The company has the cO-opera-
tion of Hopes in the prosecution of its
undertaking, and as a result the trials of
a number of M4hanoy City coal haulers
have begun at Pottsville.
The evidence the company will present
will tend to prove that certain coal
haulers of Mahanoy City were the greatest
and real gamers by the fraudulent prac-
tices of Hopes and that they actually
connived with the clerk in defrauding
the company out of about $1,000
Hopes was called to the witness stand
in the P0ttsville court yesterday and he
told damaging story against three coal
haulers named Michael Madden, James
Norris and Henry Martin. 1t is the custom
at the mines of the company to issue coal
orders to employees at reduced rates. If
a man is employed at colliery and wants
coal the company issues an order and
| deducts the price from his wages Three
quarters of ton costs at this reduced rate
S '.35 and the employe pays forty cents to
| the hauler A person not employed at the
colliery is obliged to pay the company
| 81 15 for thu same amount of coal and
with the cost of hauling the price is S2 Is.
In his fraudulent practices Hopes used
fictitious names and sometimes put the
name of an employe on his bogus orders.
1t is claimed the coal haulers in question
| bought up the fraudulent orders at re
| duction of ten cents on each, securing
them at Sl,25 The haulers then sold the
coal at So Is, clearing a profit of ninety
cents on load.
This continued for some time and was
only broken np by the arrest of Hopes
who swears that Madden, one of the haul.
ers on trial. profited by the system fol-
about year. Hopes says the share hC
received he put in his own pocket.
The developments made by the Hopes
case has caused the company to revolu
tionize the system of running its colliery
offices. The work has been divided 81
that at places where coal orders are ISSUED
one clerk is assigned for that particular
bran IN and IS held responsible for it
The company will also requir
such clerks to furnish bonds TO
the faithful performance of duty
This step will be taken to insur
the company against loss in case of
repetition of Hopes practice The com
pany will sue the Doudsmen of the clerk
for any deficiencies that may arise

ably, when it is too late. Now is the time
to open all the water courses. Don't wait

THE FAIRS SECOND WEEK.
1t Opens With IA Prospect for Large
Crowds.

st. Patrick's fair began its second week
last night. There was an unusually
large attendance, and the crowd was
very liberal. one has TO be liberal,
though, if he attends the fair. for a man
would have a heart harder than adam
ant If he resisted the appeals Of the fem
ininity that besieges him Immediately
on his entrance TO the hall.
But if the young men do have to part
with their money, il is still a most pleas
ant place TO go. Last night being Mon
day night, not many articles were dis
posed of, but still the fair was sue
cess pecuniarlly. The various booths
did good business and brought in good
results. The cigar booth, presided over
by Miss Florence FallOn, is doing a splen-
did business Miss FallOn is assisted by
two young ladies of Augusta, Miss Alice
Descombe and Miss Katie Schiller. 1t
is impossible to resist the impOrtuning in
sistance Of this trio, and many young
men have acquired the habit of smoking
while under their influence.
one of the most indefatigable workers
in the fair is Mrs G. w Bandy. She ls
working zealOusly for its success. She
has charge of the fancy table, which is
the most attractive feature of the bazaar.
There is a prOfusion of valuable and orna-
mental articles and bric-a-brac on her
table, and one in search of Christmas
presents can find what they want there.
The Altar Society has charge of an ex-
ceedingly handsome array of valuable ar
ticles in the north side of the hall Miss
Altar Society, has charge of the depart
ment and her hard work for the fair is
ably seconded by the uutiring zeal of the
committee of attractive and interesting
young ladies that assists her in the man
agement of the booths. In this depart
ment are number of useful articles for
disposition. They have a very valuable
and fine-blooded Vermont horse to be dis
posed of.
There is one feature of the fair which
does not receive the recognition it de-
serves That is the supper tables over
which Mrs. J. H. Clarity and Mrs. NJ. J.
Barrett so ably preside. An excellent sup
per is provided for 80 cents and an oyster
stew for . cents. This part of the fair
really merits more patronage than it is
accorded, and, no doubt. il would be pa
tronized more freely if the people had an
idea of the excellent meals furnished by
the ladies in charge.
Division No. Of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians visited the fair last night and
took supper. The members expressed
themselves highly pleased with the SPLEEN
did service given them and they proved
very liberal patrons of the places where
the unsuspecting visitor has his hard
earned shekels beguiled from their snug
resting place.
Tonight win be the gala night of the
week. The Catholic Library Association
will attend and take supper in a body and
the occasion promises to be the most merry
as Wen as one of the most remunerative
of the fair.

LOOKING FOR GRAIN BUSINESS.
THE CENTRALs GRAIN ELEVATOR
BEING PUT IN ORDER.

The Central Has Conferred With Its
western Connections and the ship
ming Men Here and Has Received
Sufficient EncOuragement TO War
rant IL in Fixing ID the Elevator.
The shipping People Inclined to
Try the Framework on the EIeva-
tor Already begun.
II looks very much as il grain ship
ments through this port were pracu-
cally an assured thing. The shkSing
men here have taken the matter in hand.
Western roads, it is understood. are
lending the movement some encourage
ment, and altogether the Central rail-
way of Georgia is sufficiently satisfied
with the situation to deem it worth while
10 repair and put in running condition
the grain elevator at the end of the Bos-
ton slip on the Ocean Steamship wharves.
The work Of repairing the elevator and
putting it in running order has already
begun. The building is being cleaned
up, the engines put in running order, and
the machinery given a general overhaul
ing.
The elevator has been practically of
little use since it was built, having been
idle for years, but it appears now that
il promises to be an instrument of prog
ress for the port through which some
thing more extensive may be developed.
A representative of the Morning News
asked Receiver II. NJ. Conner what the
Central had in view in making these re-
pairs
I'VE have conferred with our western
connections with regard TO the grain
movement" he said, land we have re-
ceived sufficient announcement to au-
thorize us to put the elevator in order.
We have also talked the matter over
with the shipping people here and think
they are inclined to try it. The repair
ing of the elevator, however, is a neces-
sary prerequisite to anything that may
be done, and we are going 10 get that
ready first"
Mr. Conner stated that nothing definite
had as yet been done, but minated mat
there were sufficient indications that the
object in view can be accomplished. With
the cooperation of its western connec-
tons and the shipping men here, there
would seem TO be no reason why the Cen
trail could not make Savannah port Tor
the direct expectation of grain.
1t has been shown that the distance
from the western markets. such as Kan
sas City and St Louis, to Savannah is
some shorter than to New York or Nor
folk. and that equally good time can be
made. The matter has been agitated 10
a considerable extent but up to the Tres-
ent time nothing has been accomplished.
1t is now hoped that it will take some
more definite shape, and that good results
