A MOUSE THIEF.
He Had Stolen Two Dollars in Bills
to Build House.

John P. Benoit, a well-known resi-
dent of Oakland avenue, Bloomfield, N.
j.. says the N. Y. Herald who is en-
ployed at the Lappin Brake Shoe
Works, in that place, on Monday morn
ing killed a thief that had robbed him
in the factory. Mr.. Benoit Friday
night returned to the shop, where he
had some work to do, and, taking off
his waistcoat. laid 1t on his bench. Af-
ter finishing his work he put on his
vest and left the shop. AS he passed
out he placed his hand in his pocket
and discovered that two-one dollar bills
We're missing. Thinking they had
dropped out, he went back to the works
and hunted without success.
The affair had an uncanny look and
Mr.. Benoit, leaving the place once
more, talked over the mystery with his
friends. He returned to the works on
Monday morning and placed his vest
again on the bench. In the pocket was
piece of green paper. He heard q
scratching noise near the bench and
looking in that direction saw a mouse
climb up on the bench, extract the pa
per and run off with 1t. Mr.. Benoit
watched the little animal and saw it
creep through hole at the base of the
partition He tore off the boards of
the latter and there found his money
lining the mouSa's nest. The mouse he

The two-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Phillips, of Plymouth, was burned
to death Tuesday by playing with fire.
The mother had gone across the street
to get something and left the child
sleeping on the lounge, and an older
one, aged about years, in the house,
The little one, after waking up, put a
piece of paper in the fire and lit it,,
holding it close to his clothes, and in
that way set fire to his clothing. The
seyen-year-od child made an effort to
save him by turning on the water tap
and throwing water on the child, but
by the time the flames were extinguish-
ed the child was horribly burned and
died soon after.

From Freeland Corr. Plain Speaker.
The denizenS of the staid old village
of Upper Lehigh are worked up to a
great pitch of excitement over the phe-
nominal manifestation Of some unknown
force that turns things topsy turvey in u
house on Spring street. A few deaths
have occurred in this house recently and
since that time the residents of the
block have been compelled to flee in the
night and throw themselves upon the
generosity of their neighbors for shelter.
Mrs. Samuel Herring, who lived in one
end of the so-called haunted house, told
the writer of the terrible racket and the
strange manifestation of some superna-
tural agency that made her life so un-
bearable that she was compelled to help
her son from his sick bed and desert her
home and flee to a neighbors house
where she would be free from the un-
canny things that infested her home
Mrs. Herring is very sincere in the
statement that some unknown forces
have taken forcible possession of the
building and her son, a young man of 20
years, corroborates his mothers state
ment and says that his life was made so
miserable that he was compelled to leave
his bed when sick with the grip when it
endangered his health to do so.
No matter what may be the cause of
strange phenomena it is safe to say that
it will be easy to get house to lease on
Spring street, Upper Lehigh, for some
time to come.

his wife coming to the rescue was next
killed, The positions of the bodies in
and under the snow indicated that the
two were killed Thursday evening last
before the heavy storm.
Mrs. Stout was sister of Christian
Heller, one of the most prominent eiti-
zens and merchants OF Hazleton. Mr..
Stout, until two years ago, when he was
married and took up his residence on
the Heller homestead, was engaged in
the hardware business in Reading.

The next attraction in the theatrical
line that will be presented here, will be
on January End, 1901, when E. j. Car
penter will present superb production
of Quo Vadis," with all the original
scenic effects and cast. This is the same
company that was here last season and
gave such uniform satisfaction Follow
ing are some of the more prominent peo-
pie in the cast: Ben S. Mears (who
starred last season in "a Royal Pris-
oner'') as Petronious; Edmund j. Crane
and Sadie J. Boyd, who were with the
company last season, have their original
roles, viz: Marcus Vinicus and Poppea.
Mr.. Crane will probably be remembered
here best by his more recent appearance
in the production of Hamlet, in which
he essayed the parts of Polonious and
First Grave Digger, of which this paper
made especial mention. This company
is away above the average and deserves
all the patronage that can be given them.

A Long MINDED Law Suit.

For eighteen years piece of highway
along quarter section line in the town
Of Fulton has been a subject of litiga
ton in the courts in some phase or other
and it seems to be question whether
the decision handed down last week by
Judge Dunwiddie, will end the matter
yet or not. Twice the case has gone to
the supreme court in the meantime. only
to have the action revived again in the
lower courts. Primarily the cause of the
contention is the fact that upon a resur-
vey Of the land in this section by Mr..
Ruger, it was found that the government
quarter stake had been set three rods
west of the center. In 1882 the town of
Fulton began an action against FL. S.
Pomeroy for obstruction to the highway
above alluded to. After several pre-
liminary skirmishes the suit came to
trial and Judge Bennett held in his
findings of fact among other things that
there was no obstruction to the highway
at that point, and that there was no legal
highway at the point in question and
rendered judgment against the town up
on all the questions involved in that
suit. The supreme court, while they
considered at length the questions in
volved in their opinion and intimate that
the circuit court was wrong in some of
re-, Iol hot bo
would not support an action for an OBJ
struction, that the evidence only showed
an encroachment, but do not modify the
judgment of the lower court, rather
affirming it in it's entirety.
Mr.. Pomeroy having demonstrated
through the decision of the courts that
he was not obstructing the highway, it
stood to reason, he believed, that the
fence of his neighbor across the way was
in the road, as the highway at the point
of dispute was only half the regulation
width. He therefore commenced a suit
for encroachment against the estate of
d. f. Heddles. owners of the land oppo-
site. He was beaten in the circuit court
and appealed to the supreme court,
which also decided that the Heddles
road fence was not an encroachment.
The supreme court was now on record as
saying that Pomeroy had not INSTRUCTED
nor Heddles encroached upon this high
way and yet everybody knew the road
was only rod and half wide. The
Fulton town board was not entirely sat
isfied to allow matters to rest even on
the decision of. the supreme court. Pom
eroy had not yet been acquitted of en-
croachment. So an action was again
instituted against him about year ago
for the latter offense, which came up in
the circuit court last week. The defend
ants attorneys entered plea in bar to
the effect that the subject matter had
been litigated in full in the former trial,
and that the judgment of the circuit
court at that trial affirmed by the SUI
preme court was conclusive and Judge
Dunwiddie so held. -
Thus after eighteen years this piece Of
litigation seems to have reached the end
of the rope. The amount of money paid
attorneys during these years would pos
sibly have bought the land on both sides
Of the road in'question, at least it would
pay for highway broad enough to
make several boulevards. ''-'.7r-o''.~' a

Circuit Court Proceedings

Blodgett Milling Company returned a
verdict for the plaintiff and assessed his

The judge gave them time to file writ
ten motion. This action was what had
come to be called the popcorn case.

brought suit to recover damages.
The jury was waived in the case of G.
G. MacLean against Michael Sullivan.

previously bought the animal. L. E..
Gettle appeared for the plaintiff and II.
S. Sloan for defendant.

Settling Up Time.

The beginning of new year is ac-
copied by the business world as the
proper time for closing up book accounts.
The Reporter finds it has long list of
overdue subscription accounts that it
seems to us ought to be paid. The
amounts are generally small, but in the
aggregate are an important item, at a
time when coal and stock bills are due.
We hope to furnish every delinquent
subscriber statement of their account
before the new year, and we trust this
reminder will meet with an early and
cheerful response. Why not begin the
new century with clean record?
