HERALD
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1896


Yesterday afternoon a Hungarian walked
into the post office and asked Postmaster
Mellet to change ten dollar bill for him
Mr.. Mellet took and scanned the bill
proffered and, in deliberate and severe tone
with sharp look over his spectaces at the
man, demanded, what do ysu mean by
trying to pass upon the government a $40
Confederate billP' Such was its character
The Hungarian stammered something in
broken English about not knowing that the
bill was no good and hurried out of the Office
as quick as his legs could carry him. Mr.
Mellet retained the bill, and still has it. Two
or three friends of the man have since called
upon the postmaster and assured him that
the character of the bill was not known
when it was offered. Their solicitation in
the case was due to a fear that steps might be
taken towards prosecution While in this
case the one who prOffered the bill may have
been perfectly innocent and probably a
victim of some imposition, it is nevertheless
a fact that many people in the foreign classes,
and some of them by no means of no i'm
portance are inclined to plunge in irregular
tenders and some who get their hands ON a
stock of such tenders find a market for them
One very prominent foreigner had the audac-
ity to boldly ask one of our leading citizens
not long ago where he could buy some
'counterfx" money. OF course, the design
ing class depend upon the plea of ignorance
of the customs and language of the country,
but some day one of them will get in such a
position he will learn that ignorance of the
law is not plea that will pass fire 1t is at
the same time no doubt very true that much
Of the Confederate money iI the hands of
the foreign classes in town (and there is con
siderable) has been obtained through bona
fde ignorance.

IT Is AN OLD SCHEME.
Hazleton Mine Ohicials Lay Claim to Shen.
andOah Rights.

Several newspapers of Luzerne and this
county are unjustly giving to Superintendent
Fred. f. Zerbey, of Hazleton, credit for the
discovery of the efficacy of coal silt for pre-
serving the surface above mine workings. 1t
is not intended that Mr.. Zerbey should be
deprived of any credit that may be due him,
but in order that proper credit shall be given
for the discovery it becomes necessary to say
that the scheme has been in operation in
Shenandoah for several years. Kohinoor
colliery, operated by the P. & R. c. & l. Com
pany on the Gilbert and Sheafer Estate, has
been the scene of such operations for years.
Thirteen bore holes have been drilled on
Poplar, West, Chestnut, Cherry and Catherine
streets in this town, and on the Lehigh
Valley railroad, Philadelphia and Reading
turnouts and other important places. Eight
of the holes went down over $50 and 400
feet, vertically, and tens of thousands of tons
of coal have been taken out through the
efficacy of the silt filling, 50 that the Halle
ton mine officials need have no doubt as to
practicability Of the newly (?) discovered
scheme.

here today of the recent fighting in Pinar
at Pinar del Rio. At 10 o'clock on Thurs

piled, and twenty shells were fred into the
insurgent center, inflicting heavy losses.
The Spanish commander ambushed a detach-
ment OF troops in psIm grove and in
structed them to allow the insurgents to ad-
vance to close quarters oefore firing Then
the government troops poured a terrible fire
into the insurgent ranks and when this was
added to by the fire of rapid-hring gun
the enemy hurriedly retreated. Many of the
enemy's shells failed TO explode, and only
five houses were destroyed. One soldier Of
the garrison was wounded. The Spaniards
severely blame the insurgents for savage
conduct In not notifying the authorities OF
Artemesa that the place was to be bonn
barded, and so permit the women and chill
