RAUsCE WANTS JUSTICE.
Believes That Taylor of Old Forge
Has Done Him an Injustice.

Joseph Rausch, who has charge of
the Pennsylvania Coal company'S
woodlands in Old Forge, was in the
court house yesterday in search of
some person who is empowered to mete
out justice to a Mr.. Taylor, who has
some thing to do with the repairs of
highways in Old Forge.
Some time ago Rausch opened road
leading to his home and last week the
Mr.. Taylor hereinbefore mentioned in
changing the direction of water
course dug a deep ditch across the
road built by Rausch. He wants TO
compel Taylor to build a stone cul-
vert where the ditch is and says he has
promised to give the stone necessary
to do the work. Taylor. however
will not listen to the arguments for a
cuvert and Rausch yesterday asked
the assistance of the county officers
individually and collectively to compel
Taylor to build the much desired cul-
vert.
When last seen he was in search of
District Attorney Jones to have Tay-
lOr arrested.

That Providence is the oldest sec

by the streets. Many of them are as
they were when just laid out They
are ungraded and almost unmade. No
regard has been paid to adjoining and
neighboring streets Oft-times in the
opening out of streets for business pur-
poses. AS a result. pools of stagnant
water are common in many neighbor-
hoods, but nowhere are there more
dangerous ones than those to be found
on Perry avenue.
On this street, which is one of the
oldest in the city, are two pools. One

SAYS He WAS sLANDEREp.

Litigation has been renewed between
w. A. Nevills and William H. Martin
owners of the Rawhide mine. For some
weeks past these gentlemen have re-
mained inactive, but developments prove
that this condition was only the lull be-
tween the gone and the gathering storm.
Nevills came into court yesterday and
filed suit against Martin to recover $3.50,
900 damages for slander. In his complaint
Nevills alleges that the defendant, wick
edly and maliciously intending to injure
him in his good name and credit and to
bring him into public scandal, notoriety
and disgrace among persons to whom he
was known and to cause it to be suspect
ed by such persons that the plaintiff was
guilty of theft and to submit him to the
pains and penalties of the law and to vex,
harass and ruin him, told various persons
that "NeVills was a thief and had
stolen 100000 from the Rawhide mine and
had sold stolen gold to a Chinaman and
wanted to get back as manager of the
mine so as to steal more"
Through these alleged statements Of tba
defendant Nevills says that he has been
brought into scandal, infamy and dis
grace, as many persons still believe that
the charge of theft is true

REPLY TO DR.. VooRSANGER.
Holland Americans Object to His Re
cant Hri tici cr,n Of tho Rnorc

Several days ago Rabbi Voorsanger de-
livered an address on the troubles in
South Africa. His remarks concerning
the Beers have created some comment
among the Holland-American citizens of
this city. They We're discussed at the
last meeting of the Netherland Society
Wilhelmina, which was largely attended.
The position of DR.. Voorsanger was at
tackled in the following resolution, which
was unanimously adopted:
Whereas. The Rev. DR.. ]. voorsanger has
expressed himself the Transvaal Beers in
the public press as being progressive, in
tolerant and semi-savage.
Whereas, Such ignorance on the part of any
American citizen would be surprising and is
the more so in the present instance as the
said Rev. DR. J. Voorsanger is a born Hol-
lander and should have other than English
sources from which to obtain his information
Whereas, The Beers are as progressive as the
peculiar circumstances under which they live
will permit, as Is fully shown in their conduct
of the present war. and
Whereas. 1t is unjustifabe slander to term
the Transvaal Beers semi -savages; be Il
Resolved, That we, of Holland birth pro-
test with all our strength against the injustice
done the Beers by the Rev. DR.. ]. Voorsanger,
and know them to be fully worthy of the
hearty sympathy of every enlightened man in
their present struggle for liberty and indie
pendence.

as it has been decided that it is better
to keep the men here where they can be

will sail until well along toward next
Saturday.
Another cause for delay is found In the

of officers. Second Lieutenant z. W.

1t has been reported that there are ten
of the officers of the Fortyfourth that
will also appear before the same board.

Hospital for the Insane at Washington in

duty at The general hospital at the Pre-

Policeman E. N. Boukofsky cleverly
captured petty larcenist at the Preside
yesterday. The man had been given a
meal at one Of the cook houses and after
eating all he could he slowed away all
the coffee, butter and bacon he could lay
his hands upon. He was about to get
away with his provender when the officer
spied him and decided to search him on
suspicion. He found the ill-gotten goods
and placed the man under arrest.
