Hanna to Introduce Bill For
His Trial In the Unit
ed States.
THE ADMINISTRATION IS FIRM
In It's Attitude Toward the Convicted
ohioan and NeeIy-Senator Hanna
Believes IN the Honesty of
Major Rathboi :.

Washington, April 1.-The Post to
day said that Senator Hanna pro
poses to introduce bill which wiz
provide for the trial Of Estes G. Rath
bone, recently convicted in Cuba OF
frauds in connection with the Cuban
postal service, before q court in the
United States, under American law
and American methods. The senator
The Post said, believes in Rathbone' $
honesty, Notwithstanding his convic-
ton, and claims that under our law
evidence not admissible under the
Cuban procedure will aid Rathbone.
Speaking of the call of Senator
Hanna on the president and the for
mer's request for pardon for Rath-
bone, The Post said:
1T is quite likely. Of course, tina.
some consideration will be shown TO
Reeves, who became states evidence.
and action in his case may be expe CT
ed soon after General Woods return
to Cuba. The attitude of the admin
istration toward Rathbone and Neefy
will. however, be firm. General
Wood has the power of pardon, #
he should choose to exercise it, but
this is not regarded as probable.
1T is said to be extremely doubt
full whether the president has the
right to set aside the judgment OF the
Cuban court, for Cuba is foreign
country, although under the nominal
protection Of the United States. The
same reasoning makes it extremely
improbable that congress would en-
act law transferring the accused
ex-officialS to this country"

JEREMIAH SNYDER ARRESTED.
For the Retention Of Illegal Commissions the
County Treasurer is In the Hands
OF the Law.

County treasurer Jeremiah Snyder
was arrested by Constable John Gibbs
at Shutdown on Saturday. The CON-
plainant is the Taxpayers Association
represented in this particular case by
]. E. Kiefer. The charge against
Mr.. Snyder is the retention of CON-
missions on license monies. The
retention has been going on for
the past three years, so it is claim
ed. The specified amounts which
have not been turned over to
the townships to which they properly
belong are as follows: 1900, $3s7;
1901, $3a7; 1902, $3.50.
The license law of 1887 allowed
the County Treasurer a commission
of five per cent. Four-fifths of the
money is then to be returned to the
townships for the maintenance of the
highways and the remaining one-fifth
to the State. In 1891 this act was
amended but no mention was made
as to the treasurer's commission.
Mr.. Snyder waived hearing before
Squire Rlngler and gave bail IN the
sum of $500, with William Krick-
baum as security, for his appearance
at this term of court. The case will
now be tried. A conviction carries
with i: fine equal to the amount of
money retained and an Imprisonment
of five years. This is the maximum
sentence.
In charging the grand jury on Mon
day Judge Little explained the law
very fully, saying among other things
that while the retention of commits
sions may have been done with no
criminal intent, still that under the act
of 1891, if any such moneys had been
retained the statutory crime had been
committed, and cautioned the jury to
do their duty fearlessly. The grand
jury found true bill against Treas
urer Snyder on Wednesday.

They Settled.

Daniel Stiner and Oliver Hammer
were the principals in a fist fight
which occurred in front of the U. S.
Express office Tuesday afternoon.
Several blows had been struck on
each side when policeman Knorr
interposed and the two were arraigned
before Mayor Townsend. The hear
ing was postponed until Wednesday
morning when fine of $500 was
imposed on each of them.
Young Hammer, after leaving the
Mayors Court, went to the office of
Squire Jacoby and arrested Stlner for
carrying concealed weapons. 1t ap-
pears that in the alteration Hammer
had been struck twice with a large
brass ball fastened in the end of a
handkerchief. 1t was tor having this
weapon upon his person that the
charge was made. Hammer finally
agreed to withdraw the charge and
call it "quits" if Stiner would pay the
town fines. This he did and the
matter was settled. The fight was
the result of too much talk and the
Squire in discharging the case sug-
gested that in the future they keep
their mouths shut.

THE CENTENNIAL.
Committee on Program Will
Report Friday Night.
Meeting IN COURT HOUSE.

Chairman Townsend has appointed
the following gentlemen as commit
tee to outline program for the Gen.
tennial celebration of Bloomsbury:
]. c. Brown, DR.. ]. P. Welsh, J. M.
Staver. w. P. Meigs and w. S. Rish-
ton. The committee held a meeting
on Monday evening, and are prepared
to make their report. A public meet
ing will be held in the Court House
on Friday evening at 8 o'clock at
which time the report will be read.
The band will be present and several
short addresses will be made. The
public generally is invited, and
especially the ladies, as their assist
ance will be highly necessary IN order
to make the event success. The
Civic Club has already expressed its
willingness to help IN any way in Its
power, and they will probably organize
an historical museum.
After the program has been ar
ranged the finance committee will
undertake to secure subscriptions suf.
fcient to carry it out, and then all
the necessary committees will be ap-
pointed to arrange the details of the
program. The Centennial looks like
an assured fact, and it is the deter
mlnation Of those IN charge to make
1t success. Let there be big
meeting on Friday night.

Fire Destroys Property III Rupert.

Fire at an early hour Sunday morn
ing completely destroyed the Keg
Works at Rupert. The blaze, which
probably had its origin in the large
CRATE, burned unmolested, until its
great illumination awakened the resi-
dents of the village, then it was too
late to save the building, or even any
portion of 1t, and the people stood
and watched the swift destruction OF
the industry. There was good lot
of material, such as slaves and head
ing wood, in the building, all OF which
was burned. This is the fifth time
that fire has destroyed the building.
We are uniformed as to the loss sus-

Must Stay Away.

The course of an outfit consisting
of two men, presumably Italians, and
large bear was changed on Monday
when they were refused admission to
the town. The spread of smallpox
IN some Of the towns around us has
been attributed to this cause, and In
the future quarantine is to be OBJ
served, and all foreigners of this class
excluded Mayor Townsend was in
formed by message from Catawissa,
that the men were coming this way
and he instructed Chief of Police
Knorr to be on the lookout for them.
They were detected by officer A. M.
Wintersteen who promptly ordered
them to leave.
