THEY MAY GET PROPERTY.

to Recover Coal Lands.

The attorney for the heirs of Burk-
hard Moser, some OF whom live In this
city, has announced that after a three
years search he has succeeded in Sc
curing brief Of title to the rich coal
fields In Schuylkill county, valued at
many million dollars, which the three
hundred and twenty-five heirs have
been seeking to obtain possession of for
many years back.
The heirs, who have formed them
selves into an association known as the
Burkhard Moser Heirs association,
Will bring suits In the Pottsville courts
this coming winter for a title to the
lands. The facts in this peculiar case
are well known in this city.
Moser died in 1928, unmarried, and
the property, which comprises some
4l6 acres of the most valuable coal
land In the state, passed in the course
OF time into other hands. The Lehigh
Coal and Navigation company have
had possession since 1868 and 1t is said
refused an offer Jf 81, ,OOO, 900 a few years
ago for one of the mines located on
the land.

YOUNG GIRL RESCUED.
Mrs. Duggan Saves Wayward Lass

Mrs. Duggan Saves Wayward Lass
from Very Bad Companions.
Through the prompt action of
Lackawanna avenue hotelkeeper in
notifying Mrs. Duggan, agent for the
Associated Charities, a young girl,
whose name is withheld, was Thurs
day night taken into charge by Mrs.
Duggan, and rescued from the COM
pany Of central city mendicant
The girl is only sixteen years of age,
and Thursday night entered the hotel
with her companion, who is cripple.
The couple asked for beer, but wers
refused it by the bartender. The pro-
prietor of the place then called up Mrs.
Duggan by phone, and she arrived on
the scene a few moments later, and
took the girl in charge.
The cripple objected forcibly to being
separated from his companion, vowing
that she was his cousin. He was un-
able to tell Mrs. Duggan the girls
name, however, and on her limiting
that unless he ceased his remon-
strances the aid of the police would
be asked, he proceeded to make him.
self scarce about the premises.
Mrs. Duggan took the girl to her
office in the city hall, and after good
deal of persuasion managed to learn
her identity. The parents were then
notified and removed their wayward
daughter from Mrs. Duggan's care.
They are persons of excellent stand
ing, and We're exceedingly grateful for
the service done them.

AN ENTERPRIsING HOUSE.

"What is home without a piano?"
is just as appropriate a saying as
what is home without a mother?"
In fact, today no home is complete
without a piano, and this statement
is more literally exact where there are
children in the family. No girls edu-
cation can in any sense be complete
without the accomplishment of being
able to play a piano. 1t is a very
necessary adjunct of a girls educa-
ton. There are various grades of
pianos, as there are different grades
of other commodities. a cheap piano
is not cheap at any price, and intend
ing purchasers should feel favored
when directed to a good, reliable firm,
whom it is gratifying to recommend.
1t is oUr privilege to refer to the en-
terprising music firm of George w.
Finn, at 1873 Wyoming avenue.
This concern is the local represen-
tative for the celebrated Stieff Piano;
an instrument noted for its remark
able rich, singing tone quality, delica-
cy of action, style of finish and un-
equaled durability. These instru-
ments have been before the public for
more than half a century and have
undergone the most eXacting tests,
yet never have they developend a
point of weakness. While the Stieffs
are considered ultra conservative in
their business methods, they never
sacrifice quality of material or work
manship to cheapness of price, and
their liberal policy in the treatment
of their employees, accounts to a great
extent for their uninterrupted ad-
vancement through all thse years of
progress.
a fine assortment of these magnifi-
cent instruments. in the various art
designs and woods, have just been re-
ceived at Finns, and we doubt that
a better stock to make a selection
from can be found anywhere. Custo-
mers will make no mistake by deal
ing with this house, as their response
bility is undOubted and second to none
in Scranton. This firm carries other
makes to suit all conditions, and a
visit cannot fail to interest anyone
looking for a piano. In addition they
also carry a special line of music and
small instruments, violins, banjos, gui-
tars. mandolins and musical mer-
chandise.

The will of the late John Carey, of
Taylor, was offered for probate yester-
day by Attorney James f. Watkins,

The Hillside Home will no longer be
made an asylum for all the INDECENT
and helpless individuals in this part
of the state. superintendent Beemer,
of the Home, reported at yesterdays
meeting of the poor board that twenty
three paupers who are proud of the
fact that they hail from Wilkes Barre
and who have been subslsting on the
bounty of the local poor district have
now been sent to Luzerne county.

from Pittston, who has also been re-
ceiving treatment at the Home, and
who was one Of the most unruly and
refractory patients at the institution,
has also been removed, and yesterday
the board rebelled at receiving a man
from Hawley.
Superintendent Beemer received a
letter from Hawley telling about the
case and yesterday stated 1t to the
board. 1t seems that Joseph H. Bea
recently fell off of a load of hay and
received injuries which render him
slightly demented. His family are now

EMPHATIC PROTEST.

This communication was the cause
of a volcanic outburst from Director
Paine, who rose to his feet and en-
phatically remarked: "A case like this,
to my mind, ought to be referred to
the state board, instead of to this body,
and in case 1t is refused aid, then 1t Is
time to bring 1t to our notice. All of
these out-of-the-city cases ought to be
referred to the state board, and not
brought before this body. l move that
superintendent Beemer be instructed
to reply to the Hawley officials telling
them to apply to the state board"
The home committee reported that
it held a meeting Wednesday night and
looked over the plans for the proposed
new store house for the home and ad-
vised that the building 25x50 feet and
two stories high, be erected, the upper
story to be used for hospital purposes.
Among the applications for relief
was that of a Mrs. Burke, of Dun
more, who is left homeless, destitute
and sick with an infant child as the
result of the patriotism of her hus-
band, who recently visited the recruit
ing station on Wyoming avenue, en-
listed under an assumed name and is
now a soldier boy. Efforts will be
made to have him sign some of his
pay over to his wife, and, in the mean
while, the case was referred to the d.
rector of the district and attorney of
the board, with power to act.
Curtis Brooks, a FARMER OF Wayne
| county, petitioned the board to have
! young boy indentured to him. His
request was granted and one Of the
young boys at the home will be given
| into his care.
Mrs. Sessender, of Bunker Hill, who
come here about nine months ago from
| New York city after the death of her
husband, and who is now in very needy
| circumstances, asked the board for aid.
| Considerable debate ensued over the
case, some Of the members arguing
| that the shortness Of the time she has
| lived here prevents her from having
any right to receive aid. The case will
| receive further investigation before
| any definite action is taken.
! The small son of Patrick Mcdonnell,
of South Seventh street, was admitted
to the Hillside Home. The child is
| deaf and dumb and for some time re-
| ceived treatment at a Philadelphia
oral school. During the month of July
the father received two communica-
tions from the superintendent of the
institution, in which he stated that the
boy must be removed. He had an ugly
habit of rushing at the other children
and scratching at their eyes. He en-
dangered the eyesight of every little
one at the school, and also dug his
nails into the flesh of their faces in a
way that made necessary his imme-
diate removal.
Mrs. Josie Godak, Of First street
whose husband recently deserted her
and who is at present in delicate
state, applied for relief. 1t was decid-
ed to send her to the Hillside Home
for a period, but she seems to have a
dread of the institution and said she
was averse to going there. She left the
meeting without any conclusion being
reached.

SERIOUSLY MIXED.
Colombia Has Two Revolutions
on Hand at One Time.

New York, Oct. Sc. B. Hart, United
States minister to Colombia, South
America, who has arrived here and Is on
his way to his home in Wheeling, W. Va,
said in an interview:
Matters in Colombia are seriously
mixed The Liberals started a second
revolution a few days ago, and it has
developed great strength. The fighting
has been fierce and up to date the kill
ed and wounded have numbered 10000
while the Liberals have met with
much success, it is my belief that the
government will be eventually success
full. But the revolution is seriously dis
turbing business. Gen. Prospero Pinzon
is in command of the government forces
and the revolutionistS are commanded
by Gen. Rafael Tribe. The scene of the
trouble is in the department of Cauca."
