BRIEF ITEMS.

The funeral of the late Thomas Moore
took place yesterday and was one of the
largest seen in Freeland for some time.
The Citizens Hose Company attended
in body, and the respect in which the
deceased was held was attested by the
hundreds who followed the remains to
st. AIMS church, where the last rites
were performed before consigning the
body to the grave.
The second half Of the game Of alley
Harwood, and Patrick and Edward
Gallagher, of town, was played here yes
terday. The score at the end of the
first half was 26 to Al in favor of Har-

terday while Harwood scored 40 points.
Harwood therefore won, 81 to rs.
The experiment has been made of
sprinkling country roads with oil to
keep down the dust and has been found
to work to a charm. One sprinkling
will last for a year. However, this new
departure will not be encouraged by
cyclists and owners of rubber-tired
vehicles, as oil is death to rubber.

Service Fighting in the United States
Charge-Denies Inspectors Testimony.
The trial Of E. f. Bogert, formerly
postmaster of Wilkesbarre, who is
charged with opening letters and with
embezzleing postal funds, was begun in
the United States district court before
Judge Burlington at Williamsport. The
defendant is represented by Attorneys
w. G. Mclean, John Z. Lenahan and
James Scarlett while District Attorney
Meiner and his ASSISTANTS, N. M. Miller
and John b. Myers, are conducting the
case for the government.
The principal witness for the govern
ment was Postoflice Inspector Hugh
j. German, who with Inspector Gregory
laid the trap which led to Bogert's
arrest. Inspector German testified that
ON March 7, 1890, he and Gregory
mailed a decoy letter addressed to L.
Flick, a Wilkesbarre newspaper man
who was an applicant for the post
office. The envelope was postmarked
Washington, with house of representa-
tives stamp on it. 1t was put in the
mail at Kingston.
That night he climbed up ladder
placed against the wall of the post of
fee, and through a window saw Bogert
reading a letter that resembled the de-
coy letter and afterward put paste on
the flap and sealed it.
The following day two decoy letters
were mailed and addressed to Flick.
That night watch was again kept by
means of the ladder and window and Bog
ert was seen in his private office with the
two letters in his possession, one of them
opened. The witness and Inspector
Gregory walked in on Bogert at that
time and the arrest followed.
l., E. Garvey, mailing clerk at the
Wilkesbarre office, and r. Il. Owens,
stamper and distributor, who assisted
the inspectors in entrapping Bogert,
testified to the decoy letters being re-
ceiyed on the dates mentioned and
placed in Flick's private box. Owens
was on the stand when court adjourned.
EXPostmaster Bogert testified in his
own behalf He explained that the
decoy letters which were found on his
desk had fallen out of the box next to
his when he got his mail. When the
inspectors confronted him they spent
the night trying to make him admit that
he had opened the letters, but he denied
it then, and does today. He further
denied that he confessed to Inspectors
Gregory and German. His testimony
was not shaken by cross-eXamination.
William Bates, brotherin-law of
Bogart, who was in the postoffice on
the night in question, corroborated the
defendants testimony. Several others
witnesses were also heard in corrobora-
tion of portions of his evidence.
Among the Wilkesbarre residents who
testified to the defendants good charac-
ter were eX-Congressman Shonk, Mayor
Nichols, Chief of Police Kline, Editor
johnson, of the Wilkesbarre Record. |.

urday afternoon, when the case was
given to them. Up to late hour last
night no verdict had been reached.

A Direct Talk With Mothers
About Boys School Suits !!

We have studied the boys school
suit question from your point of
view. We have taken great many
mothers into our confidence (perhaps
you were one) and have asked them
what were the features most desir-
able in boys school suit.
The gist of opinion is-good wear
ing material, in colors that won't
soil quickly-seams that can't rip
buttons that can't come off-button
holes that won't wear out-double
seated trousers-double knees.
We have boys school suits made
with every one of the above features.
We offer you perfect suit.
The material we use is an all
wool cheviot that we guarantee for
its good wearing qualities. Brown
and grey mixtures, also blue
black, are the colorings.
We invite every mother to come
and see these suits. 1t will more than
fulfill your expectations.

German Factories Coming.

Washington, Nov. German papers
discuss and copiously comment on the
late news that the firm of BRUINS Soc
line, OF Gera, one of the largest textile
manufacturing concerns in Germany. is
about to establish factory and branch
house in the United States. 1t is con-
fidently expected that this enterprise
will be as successful as those of the
firms which recently established
branches in Passaic. n. j. These Ger
man ventures in the United States have
been profitable. a report is now cur
rent that manufacturers of Gera have
formed a syndicate aiming at the erec-
ton of new worsted textile factories in
the United States.
News also comes from Rhenish Prus-
STA that the manufacturers of silk and
wooden textiles there purpose to erect
branch factories in the United States.
The straits in which this German in
dustry has been placed by the partial
shutting off of the important American
market, owing to the working of the
tariff, has necessitated this new de-
parture.
This truth is better known and more
keenly felt by German manufacturing
circles and their organs of the press
than by American people.
