RETURN OF SUPI. BOGAR1
Arrived in Town From Philadelphia
This Morning.
CORDIAL GREETINGS FROM CITIZENS
He is as Confident and Unassuming as
Ever and Says the Trial Cannot be
Brought on Too Soon to Suit
Him-The Date Not Fixed.

Superintendent Bogart arrived in town
this morning ON the 11O5 Pennsylvania Rail-
road train from POttsville lie was met at
the lower station by a number of citizens,
who gave him cordial greetings and prevailed
upon him to remain on the train until it
reached the upper station. There still
larger delegation of citizens welcomed him
and there was a scramble to grasp his hands
and shake them cordially. Superintendent
Bogart simply said This is indeed encourag-
ing. do not know the names Of all of you,
but thank you" He then proceeded to his
home on South White street followed by the
receiving citizens. A delegation of about
ten entered the residence and the rest
respectfully withdrew. The meeting
between Mr.. and Mrs. Bogart was touch
ing. Up to this time the former had
not displayed the slightest emotion, but
the meeting was too much for him. He
seated himself on a couch in the parlor and
in a trembling voice said, up to this mo-
ment have been full of fight" The tears
wellcd into his eyelids and with a sudden
rush coursed down his cheeks, but he quickly
checked them and said with a smiling glance
to his wife, who sat near him IN a rocker
| fighting her emotions like Il soldier, "Well,
Superintendent Bogart then fully recovered
himself and the conversation assumed a
cheerful character. He stated that he left
Pittsburg at seven o'clock last night and
went through to Philadelphia on sleeper
He left the latter city at 5:57 this morning.
He confirmed Mr. Prices statement of the
trick to try and get the bail forfeited and
that it was the attempted trick that caused
him to delay his return. He was glad, how
ever, that he escaped the demonstration of
last night, as he preferred returning to his
family with as little display as possible, in
fact he notified Mr.. Price that he wished no
public reception.
Superintendent Bogart does not entertain
the slightest fear as to the outcome of the
suit "The time has come now" said he,
''and the trial cannot be pressed too soon to
suit me. / wanted the trial fixed for next
week, but my lawyers wanted more time to
get ready. | am hoping that it can be called
up for trial the week after next | ask a
fair field and no favors. With that | will
have no fears of developments from any
source. l have employed two Of the best
criminal lawyers in Pttsburg and they have
arranged matters so that | shall not be dis
turbed again until the time for the trial ar
rives, and of that will receive due notice.
Had a visit from the most distinguished
individual of the country been expected a
greater crowd of citizens than that which
turned out last night to welcome Prof {. ID.
Bogart the Superintendent Of the local public
schools, upon his expected return from Pitts
burg could not have assembled, and this in
spite of the fact that telegraphic and tele-
phone messages had been sent to the town
that the Superintendent would not arrive.
The people were so eager to give him a
greeting that they refused to believe the
reports. They suspected that efforts were
being made to throw them off the track 50
that the Superintendent might avoid a
demonstration in reaching his home, They
were determined that he should be
given rousing greeting. The gather
ing at the Lehigh Valley depot at s:45, when
the train upon which the Superintendent wa.
respected to return arrived, was so great that
Coal and Iron Policemen Bedea and Kreigel
and Policemen Lee and Goodman had theil
hands full in trying to keep the tracks clear
The crowd extended from the depot NJ
Centre street west of White street. As the
train arrived the crowd cheeIed Justify, bu
it was doomed to disappointment, as tn,
Superintendent was not on the train. Mr. j
j. Price, the President of the School Board
who accompanied Superintendent BOgart Il
Pittsburg, arrived home, however. He wa.
accompanied by Justice T. T. Williams, who
met Mr. Price at Sunbury. When it became
known that Superintendent Bogart had moi
arrived the great crowd dispersed, but many
followed Messrs. Price and Williams to the
latter's office. To escape the crowd the
gentlemen made an exit at the rear of the
office and went to assure Mrs, BOgart that
her husband was we'll and in the hands o
good friends The reason why Superintendent
BOgart did not return is given in Mr.. Price's
statement to HERALD reporter.
Mr.. Price spoke cheerfully of the events o.
the trip and on closing his statement to the
reporter said without hesitancy that he haC
not the slightest doubt that the case agains
Superintendent Bogart will end in the latter
complete vindication.
The party left here ON the ll:O5 train Mon
day morning, last and upon arrival at Sun
bury were met at the depot by Sol, Boyer
Esq, prominent attorney of that place. u
to this time it had been Detective Tooles in
tention to travel to Pittsburg via LewistOwI
Junction. The lawyer introduced himself t
the party and Detective TOole allowed him t,
read the warrant in the case. Mr. Boyel
told Toole that he had no right to execute
the warrant and the two exchanged word
about knowing their business the lawye
stating that unfortunately Judge Sayidge wa
at Pottsville and but fog that the detective
would not travel further with such warrant
"You have no right to take that man, sale
