REIFF WON.
Jury Decides the Title to a Pair of
TrottIng Horses.

Jury Decides the Title to a Pair of
Trottlng Horses.
The jury in the case of John s. Reiff
against the Columbia Brewing Company, of
town, gave verdict at the Pottsville court
this morning in favor Of Reif.
The case was tried on a feigned issue Ia
determine the ownership to pair of trotting
horses, which were levied upon as the prop
erty of George Reitf, a cousin of the plaintiff.
The history of the case is that George
Reiff, who lives in Mt. Carmel, had dealings
with the Columbia Brewing Company and
became indebted to that company in the sum
of about 81, 400. 1t was claimed that George
Reiff was the owner of two trotting horses
valued at about 81 900 and had turned them
over to his cousin, John S. Reih, either for
safe keeping, or to avoid attachment by
creditors. The latter took them to
the fair grounds at Rooktown, near
Ashland, where they were seized by Detective
J. j. Toole at the instance of the Columbia
Brewing Company, and as the property OF
George Reiff The horses were brought to
this town and held under the attachment un.
til John S. Reiff secured their release under
bond. The latter then brought suit to re-
cover the horses, with the result as fixed by
| the NeIuiCV lhls motuluBs lhe jury cOnCluu
! ing that the horses were the property OF
John S. Reiff and, therefore, not subject tC
an attachment against George Reiff.
John F. Whalen and NJ. NJ. Burke, Esqs
represented the Columbia Brewing Co., and
Charles A, Snyder, Esq, was leading counsel
for the plaintiff. There were many legal
scraps during the trial and every inch of the
case was contested. Mr.. Snyder was highly
complimented for the manner in which hC
handled the case for his clients.

Steel beams and uprights are to be placed
in the Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron
Company's collieries, instead of timbers
The Bear Valley colliery, of Shamokin, will
be the first in which the novel experiment
will be tried and shipments have been made
from the Pottsyille bridge works for that
purpose 1t is believed that steel is less
perishable than wood in the mines, and il
will take up less room because timber must
be very thick to hold up the ponderous
weight. The cost will be less in the end, fol
constant renewals will not be necessary.

Funeral Of w. l.. Wharton.

The funeral of the late w. L.
Wharton took place on Monday after
noon from the house. The services
began at three thirty and the inter.
ment took place Immediately after
wards in Oak Grove. Services were
in charge Of Father Boutlou of Fair
mont.
The attendance at the funeral was
very large testifying to the high
esteem in which the young man was
held by his friends and acquaintance
in the town and county. Many peo-
pie from the country came in and
more of them would have been here
had there been longer notice of the
tinal arrangements given.
The remains reached here at eight
thirty on Monday morning and were
taken to the home of his parents.
They had left New Mexico on Friday
morning.
The pail bearers at The funeral were
DR.. A. l.. Boyers, Charles McPoland,
Justin NJ. Kunkle, Edward Wells,
Prof d. M. Willis and Max Waters.
Several beautiful floral pieces were
placed on the casket by friends mute
evidences of their sorrow.
Two years ago on the fifth of July
Lindsay was compelled by failing
health to go west in the hope that the
climate might result in betterment
of his condition. He went first to
Denver, then to Folsom, New Mexico,
to Oregon and back to Folsom where
the end came. He never let his
friends here know of the fact that he
was failing and with nerve that was
simply heroic kept his suffering to
himself and wrote letters full of cheer
to his relatives and friends never let
ting them suspect for moment that
any thing but the utmost happiness
was being experienced by him.
When the warning cane from the
man with whom he was making his
home it was too late and he had died
fighting bravely to the last dying or
his feet and with the determination
never to give in.
He was young man of answering
integrity and great honesty of pur,
pose He hated sham of every kind
and always allied himself on the side
that he believed to be right. Few
young men was as highly respected by
every one as he was and the respect
was deserved.
Prior to his health breaking down
he had been an active young man.
Several years he spent in the school
rooms of the county being one of the
bestS in the county. Three
years were spent in the post office
where he had charge Of the books and
was first assistant. The Office was
brought to high state of efficiency
during this time and ne received many
letters of commentator for the way
in which his department. was managed
His death was keenly felt by large
circle of friends and by none of then
more than by this paper which was
fortunate enough to be numbered
among his very best friends. We fee
in his loss personal bereavement
and extend our heartiest sympathy tt
the stricken family.
