Heirs Can't Find the Lease,

The heirs of Burkhart Moser, who
have been engaged for some time in the
effort to recover property which he is
said to have owned at Tamaqua and to
have leased for ninety-nine years about
1893, are meeting with very little en-
couragement. The difficulty is to find
such a paper as the lease, which does
not appear to have been recorded.
A person who claims to have looked
into the case to some extent said:
"Burkhart Moser seems to have had no
title TO the tract of land which he called
his, but to have been a sort of 'squatter,
II common thing in that part OF Penn
sylvania century or more ago. If he
had owned the property in question,
and executed such lease, the heirs
would be in "a good position. AS it is,
| think it improbable that they will
ever come into the Inheritance"

John Brusack, aged Is years, was ar
rested on Monday evening at his board
ing house in Drifton on a warrant
sworn out by uperintendent John
Wagner, of Drifton, before Squire
Buckley. He was charged with placing
an iron coupling link on tho track of
the d. S. e S. Railroad near No.
breaker, Jeddo. on Saturday afternoon.
The evidence produced at the trial
brought out the fact that Brusack was
employed at No. 5 breaker, of Markle &
Co., and while on his way home along
the railroad to Drifton on Saturday
afternoon he saw engine No. pulling
the pay car from Eckley, and placed
the link on the track in front of the
engine, then ran up the mountain
towards Highland road.
Lewis Kugler, the engineer, saw the
obstruction placed ON the track and
stopped the train in time. Seeing the
engine stopped, Brusack returned and
threw the link off the track and again
took to the brush, with John Wagner
after him. Not being so feet of foot a:
Brusack, the uperintendent soon gave
up the chase and returned to the ca.
boose. The placing of the link on the
rail was witnessed by Lewis Kugler
w. j. Slattery and Frank Dever.
The defendant admitted the act, but
could give no motive for so doing. He
is but four months in the country and
cannot speak English.
In default of bail he was committed tc
jail and on Tuesday was taken there by
Constable Molik.

MINES AND RAILROADS.

Some OF the leading interests in the
trunk line properties are developing a
plan for the use of anthracite instead of
bitnminous on all passenger trains. If
Vanderbilt roads adopt the use of an
thracite it is argued that the service
would be so much improved that other
systems would be forced to adopt it,
The Vanderbilts could increase the an
thracite consumption in this way, it is
said, fully l,O00,0 600 tons year.
The largest coal breaker in the world
will soon be located at Carbondale. One
now in course OF construction on the
flats" will take the place OF sew
eral smaller ones now operated in
that vicinity by the Delaware and Hud-
son Company. Four thousand tons
daily will be the coal breaking and pre-
pairing capacity of the great plant.
1t is said that the danger Of strike
on the Lehigh Valley Railroad has
passed for the present. Eight of the
ten grievances presented by the en-
ployes have been conceded by the officials
and the remaining two will be inyesti-
gated.
The Anthracite Separator Company,
recently Incorporated, with Frank Par
dee at its head, has let a contract for
big building outside of Hazleton,
where coal separators are to be manu-
featured.
