JACOBUS RETURNS.
Spent Yesterday at Hotel American,
Exercising WOntrd Suayity'

ENprCtsIug " "ONitu SuHNIN
@. f. Jacobus. proprietor of Hotel
American, who left town so uncere-
moniously Sunday night returned
bright and early yesterday morning
and spent the day exercising his won't
ed suavity Rumor at once became cur
rent that he is to take charge of Hotel
Anthracite. This made the perplexing
tangle still more confusing and his
conduct utterly inexplicable, except by
those who have inside information.
Some facts which have not yet been
printed are these. For the past month
negotiations have been going on be-
tween the Anthracite Land and Inn
provement company and John and $.
II. Williams with view to closing
Hotel American and giving the Anthra-
cite a chance to make money. The
truth simply is that the building Of
two modern hotels the same year at
u cost of $4,000 and 800 900 respectively,
has killed the business.
However. Mr.. Jacobus heard Of these
negotiations and told Messrs Williams
they need not hold off because he had
Il three years contract with them. and
that if they would pay him $3l0O for
Improvements he made on the house he
would release them. This they would
not do and as n was losing money,
he determined to leave the house
It seems pretty certain that Mr.. JaCo.
bus ia to take the Anthracite though
the owners do not know it. Mr.. Fabel,
the present proprietor. has Il lease un-
til April, 1899 with a privilege of four
years more. He also has the privilege
of stepping out. He can turn the hotel
over to Mr. JaCobus if he chooses.
When interviewed last night he seemed
to think that inasmuch as the Ameri-
can Ia without a license and his hotel
is filling up, it is a good time to hang
on. 1t is further known that a party
did get an option on Mr.. Fabel's priv
ileges a few days ago, and the belief
is that it was for Mr. Jacobus 1t
should be understood that the Authra-
cite Land and Improvement company,
of which Hon. r. e. HendriCk is the
head, has had nothing to do with the
matter.
1t has been learned that Mr.. Jaco-
bus pays his rent-about $2,S0O year
quarterly, and the present quarter $
Will not be due until May 10. His mo-
tive for moving the goods was to pre-
vent their being held on the three
years lease. which will expire in tive
years. Lawyers We're busy last night
trying to effect a settlement of the
case. Mr.. JaCobus says his creditors
shall be paid
AS to the liquor license, it is said
that one may yet be procured, as it was
applied for and granted.

Through the dark roads a squad Of
wheelmen can steal like phantoms and
perform duties that a noisy cavalry
troop could never attempt.
1t seems probable, therefore, that the
bicycle contingent will play a most i'm
portant part in a future war, and the
offers of the patriotic wheelmen of the
country to enroll themselves into COM
panies has naturally been received with
satisfaction by the War department.
