man who thought he had one of
the best of good things.
1t will be hard to convince anyone
who event against" the deal that it
was not the rankest concocted in a
long time. 1t was announced in this
paper the morning following the race
that there was something decidedly
wrong, but it has required some time
for the extent of the wrong to leak
out.
1t now seems that many smart
bettor fell i'll on the deal, and among
the fallen ones are some who will not
forget those who let them down in %
hurry.
In the first place Fanny billiard
looked good enough to the knowing
ones to dispose of her field easily.
When she was sent away lengths be-
hind and on break in the first heat
she soon showed what she could do
with the bunch by closing up the
gap with ease. Then she went out
and won a heat without the least
trouble.
All this made it look exceedingly
good, but there are other things that
made it look better.
The deal was double cross to
no small extent. Those who We're
ION" took good care that billiard
was well touted-then they played
the field. After the excellent exhi-
bitions in the first two heats it look
ed a little strange that even money
could be had on Fanny billiard in the
books. Under ordinary circum-
stances the accustomed liberality of
the book-makers would have put her
at about to 10. But perhaps they
knew something.
That somebody got to-; somebody
there is no doubt. 1t has been
stated that it cost just $1,000 to fix
the race, and that the money went
three ways. A we'll known man
about town is given the credit CD of
having engineered the deal, so that
explains one way in which the
money went. The other parties to
the deal must be imagined.
There is no friendship in horse
racing and there were several eX-
tremely ''good fellows" who took
particular pains to see tnat their
friends were tossed.
But the deal was not a clever one.
1t leaked out too soon. Plenty of
evidence can be found if any one
cares to follow up the case, but the
chances are that the numerous
threats to cause investigation will
soon be forgotten.

The Number of Days for Next Week Not
Announced.

AunounCens
The P. & r. C. & |. Co. oollieries worked
but two three-quarter days this week but
the indications are that better time will be
made next week and throughout the month
Of May. Inquiry at the company's Pottsvile
offices this afternoon ELECTED the information
that the working time will not be announced
until Monday. The fact that the collieries
in the Shamokin district will work four full
days next week, is taken as an indication
that better time will be made here than was
made last week.
The WIN. Penn colliery will work every
day next week, with the exception of Mon
day, which the employees will patriotically
observe as Dewey Day.
Orders we're received at the Lost Creek
offices of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company

comparison between the three months of
1898 and 1899, showing the number of days
worked at the P. & r c. & l. Co. collieries in
this district, is of much interest to our
readers. The figures are official During
the first three months in 1898, the colleries
worked 40 three-quarter days during the
same period this year, they worked 81 three
quarter days, and increase of 12 days Last
year in April they worked seven three
quarter days, while the present month the
number is 10.
During the first three months of the pres
ent year there were shipped to market 35l $50
tons more coal than during the same period
of 1898. In April, 1898, the collieries mined
292, 600 tons of coal, and for the same month
this year 430, 600 tons were shipped to market
While there is probably one-tenth less of
the foreign population employed in the mines
than at this time last year. there has been
more money distributed among the mine
workers for the past three months than for
the same period in 1898.

this was opposed by District Attorney
Beck, who asked the commissioner not
to lower, but to increase it. In fur
ther addressing the commissioner Mr..
Beck said
81 had charged these gentlemen with
conspiracy to defraud the government,
but If this testimony be true it means
a great deal more than this. It means
that they have been guilty Of aiding
and abetting in the counterfeiting of
internal revenue stamps If this tes-
timony be true, l think you will agree
with me that this is the most damn
able thing in your experience, as it is
in mine Both of these gentlemen
have been honored by the government,
and one of them is still honored in
that he holds a special commission as
the governments attorney in city suits.
If guilty, they are as guilty as any
who are implicated in this matter
Morally they are more so, for they
have relied upon their high positions
to say 10 these men: For the sum of
$4,000 a month you can go ahead with
your infamous work and we will see
that you are not molested.'
