No TIDINGS
OF BIAhECKI
The Officers and Fugltlve'S Son Return
From HazletOn.
THEY REPORT NOTHING new
Rumor Has 1t That Bialecki Left Hazleten
Sunday Morning For Pottstown-The
County Commissioners Have Not
Added to the Borough Uoun-
ellis Reward Offer.

There have been no important develop
rhents during the past twenty four hours as
to the hereabouts of WoyCzak Bialecki the
fugitive murderer of Constable DandO Con-
stable Phillips and WatCbman Creary re-
turned from HazletOn last night but had
nothing of importance to report concerning
their trip in addition to what appeared in
last evenings edition of the HERALD. The
officers sail the Hazlcton officials treated
them very courtesously and have promised
to keep a sharp lookout for the man wanted
In reference to the visit made to the
Wyoming street saloon in Ha2let.n, the
place to which the officers were directed
when they left here Sunday night, Phillips
and Creary say that five of the Hazeton
police went with them and the building was
thoroughly searched from cellar to attic, but
no trace of the fugitive could be found.
After an exhaustive search and the arrest
of William Bialeck, son of the fugitive,
Creary went to Freeand with Bialecki's son
to investigate the latter's story in accounting
for the roll of bills found on his person.
The story was found to be correct. 1t ap-
pears that the son had dealings with the
Armour Beef Company at Freeand and had
LETT watch with the company to secure
payment of fifteen dollars.
William Bialecki did not return to town
last night, but reached here this morning.
He protests that he is as anxious as the
officers TO bring his father to justice.
1t was reported this morning that mes.
sage had been received from HazletOn stat
ing that the elder Balecki left that town on
Sunday morning for Pottstown. A couple of
local officers seemed to pin considerable faith
to the report, but it is not known whether
either of them left for Pottstown
simultaneously with several reports cir
culated in connection with the case to-day
was one that the County Commissioners
decided yesterday to offer reward of $500
for the arrest and conviction of the fugitive.
This, with the sum offered by the Borough
Council, would have made the total 500. 1t
was learned from official sources at POttsville
to-day, however, that the Commissioners
have not authorized the offering of reward
They held meeting yesterday and the
matter was discussed, but it was decided to
lay it over until the next meeting. which
has not been fixed, but will probably occur
some day this week. The amount mentioned
at the meeting was $500. The Commission
ers did not meet to-day.

The Grant Band Of town is in very un-
favorable condition financially, and unless
the citizens bestir themselves it is feared that
this sterling organization, which has for so
many years been the pride of the borough,
may soon be forced to disband. The mem
bers have worked hard during the past eight
months to avert such resnlt, but it seems
to be gradually developing in. spite of theiI
efforts, and unless outside assistance is
promptly forthcoming the end will soon be
at hand. The members of the band are now
paying the rent of their band room ont of
their own pockets, the treasury having be-
come depleted, and this they cannot afford to
continue, as az least seven members of the
organization are out of work. The citizens
of VIM. Penn are admirers of the band and
have taken steps to give it assistance. They
will give a concert iu the Methodist Epis-
copal church at VIM. Penn on Monday, oath
inst, and the proceeds will be donated to
the bands treasury.

standing in the theatrical world, including

the past two seasons with great success Mr.
Hanford will be supported by a remarkably
strong company Of players. The play will
be elegantly mounted with new and appro-

giOn this season. Manager Waite has com
pleted arrangements with tho trolley roads

High Constable Edward Deyers was ar
rested last night on charge of Hyman
Rubinski who alleges that the officer at
tempted to arrest him and assaulted him
without provOcation. Devers waived hear
ing and entered $500 bail before Justice
Shoemaker for trial at court. Rubinski says
he bought bull from John Lee, of West
Line street, yesterday and started for Ash
land with the bull tied to the rear end of the
wagon. The animal became infuriated and
upset the wagon, which caused the horse to
break from the vehicle and run away. Ru-
binski says he was about to tie the bull to "a
post until he could upturn his wagon when
the High Constable interfered and ordered
that the bull be removed at once, as "a
nuisance. Words followed, and then a
clinch. Councilman Shoemaker happened
along and pulled the constable from Rubin
ski, who was on his back on the pavement.
Devers says Rublnski struck him first.

The anthracite coal trade is without
change in any noteworthy feature, excepting
that the slightly cold weather in the North
and Northwest last week has given the com.
panies little encouragement. Prices are no
better, the demand continues about the same
and the New England shipment is somewhat
brisk. The anticipated early close of lake
navigation also is stimulating the coal move
ment up the lakes, although there seems to
be plenty of coal stocked at most of the
upper lake ports. Price cutting seems TO be
general, and it looks as if no attempt will be
made now to advance circular rates at tide.
