of the Clarion readers to the half
page advertisement OF robert
Chachere, of the Cash Store. Bob
was lust about to leave for New
Orleans to buy q new stock when
the Clarion man went In to "get
up'' the ad, and his parting ad-
mention was ssto tell the people
that his present stock OF goods
must 90, regardless of price, And
his present stock, we may add, Is
as complete as s'anybody's stock,
Everything from the finest OF silks
to the lowest grade of cottonades
car, be found there. But he wants
to get rid OF everything at sacrifice
prices, and the people now have a
chance to "stock up" cheap.

A dispute over the right of plum bers
to bore pipe-holes in the floor and cell
ing of the NeuBurger store arose yes
terday between S. j. NeuBurger, man
ager of the store, and William Birk-
beck's employees, and resulted in the
stopping OF the work The matter was
laid before the trustees of the P. o. s.
of A. building, in which the store is
located, and they gave orders last even
ing to proceed with the contract.
When an attempt to fulfill these
orders was made this morning the work
men were refused admittance by Mr.
NeuBurger, and for time it looked as
though the affair would result seriously
for some OF the contending parties.
DR.. G. Mord NeuBurger later appear
ed on the scene and with Attorney
Stroh, counsel for the trustees, amicably
arranged the disputed question and the
work was completed by Mr.. Birkbeck's

Emil Hair, charged with the murder
OF John Shigo at Stockton, was tried
this week. The defendants attorney
argued that Shigo had attacked Hair
and the latter struck him In self-defense
and had no thought Of killing the man.
He made an earnest plea for acquittal.
The assistant district attorney argued
that the commonwealth had shown that
the killing of Shigo was not in self de-
Tense and was unwarranted. He said
the commonwealth would expect ver-
dict OF guilty Of murder in the first de-
gree.
The jury returned verdict OF man
slaughter yesterday morning, and the
prisoner will be sentenced tomorrow.

Love Leads to Murder.

His love unrequited, Peter Shaffer, o T
Tamaqua, aged about IS years, shot aud
killed Mrs. Anna Lloyd, aged As years,
a widow, and then ended his own life by
sending a bullet through his head.
Shaffer had been suitor for the hand
of Mrs. Lloyd for some time past.
Wednesday afternoon he called at her
home, but he received no encourage
ment in his attentions. Going to his
boarding house he procured a shotgun
and a revolver.
He returned to her house and con-
cealed himself behind o grape arbor
and when Mrs. Lloyd appeared at a
rear window he raised the gun and
fired at her the heavy charge, blowing
the top of her head off. Shaffer then
took the revolver from his pocket and
fired bullet into his right temple. He
died instantly. Mrs. Lloyd bore most
respectable reputation.

fore Alderman Buchenau charged by
Peter Shulk with rioting at Derringer
Monday night. The defendant furnish
ed evidence that he was In Hazleton at
the time and was discharged. Dettrey
then brought suit against Mrs. Mary
Shulk, his accuser, charging her with
perjury. She waived hearing, furn-
ishing $500 BAIL
Deputy Sheriff and Coal and Iron
Officer Isaac Eckert was peace-preser-
yer at the Dettrey hearing and because
two Crystal Ridge men smiled at him
when he read the riot act both were
arrested and placed under $500 bail.
The efforts of the corporations to fill
the county jails with mine workers on
trumped-up charges promises to become
boomerang, as suits for false arrest
are to be instituted in every case where
men arrested can prove their innocence.
BISHOP FALLows HERE.
Bishop Samuel Eallows, OF Chicago,
the head of the Reformed Episcopal
Church, arrived at Pottsville yesterday
to investigate the strike situation. Al
ter making tour OF a large number OF
colleries, Bishop Fallows said: II find
the tle-up OF the colieries In the lower
section Of the Schuylkill region visited
by me to be complete. No coal is being
mined. l look for the speedy ending OF
the strike, and still believe that both
sides should submit their differences to
arbitration"
Bishop Fallows left last evening for
Wilkesbarre. He announced that he in
tends to take the platform and urge sys
tematic relief for the families of the
striking miners as soon as he returns
home.

The Coming Allentown Fair to be Held
September s.3 to 26.

The Coming Allentown Fair to be Held
Septembers.3 to 26.
The Great Allentown Fair will be held
for four days from September % to 90,
and from present indications will be one
of the greatest exhibitions in the histroy
of the society. 1t is, without question,
in the front rank of best and largest
agricultural and industrial exhibitions
in the country. Itis annually visited by
thousands of people who repeat their
visits regularly, and there is no County,
State, Pan-AmeriCan or Worlds eXbib-
tions held anywhere that can boast of
such large crowds as are seen yearly at
the Great Allentown Fair" Its pop
ularity is world wide, not only as an
exhibition for the farmer and mechanic,
the merchant and house-keeper, but
also for the horseman and all lovers of
sport.
The races this years will number fif-
teen for the week and will be the most
exciting and hotly contested, as there
will be moro than $4,000 paid for speed
alone, besides large amount for pre-
miums and exhibits. The society has
one of the best half-mile tracks in the
world as was shown by the wonderful
performance last year of Prince Alert,
who, on two different occasions, equall-
ed the half-mile track record of the
world of 2.04M, a record which prob
ably no other track in the country can
claim.
The free attractions before the grand
stand will be of very interesting nature
secured at an enormous expense, includ-
ing balloon ascensions, cycle whirl.
troupe of japanese vaudeville artists
and great many other attractions too
numerous to mention. Besides band
concerts there will be many other
unique and other special attractions, all
included for one price of admission.
The midway will be unusually large
and attractive and will surpass in char
acter and excellence anything ever shown
at any fair in the county.
All the railroads will run excursions
and sell excursion tickets at greatly re-
duced prices good for the whole week,
and daily special excursions will be run
from all points. 1t certainly will be the
place to go for all those who want to see
the greatest fair in the country.

PEACE RUMoRs DENIED.

President Mitchael last night entered
emphatic denial to the fresh crop Of
peace rumors that have sprung up with
In the past twentyfour hours. He re-
peated again his oft-made declaration
that he has up todate received no over
lures from the operators looking toward
settlement nor has he presented any to
them.
Equally elusive were all attempts to
find substantial basis for rumors that
a 10 per cent advance would be offered
to the men as an inducement to return
to work. Some individual operators
have made proffers, In one instance as
big as 20 per cent raise, but the policy
of 1902 will be maintained in the present t
strike, and either all will return to work
or all will remain out.
President John Mitchell has turned
down proposition made by New York
banking interests, to the effect that II
Mr.. Mitchell would call the strike off
labors there would be an increase In
wages and an arbitration of differences.
Mr.. Mitchell sent the following message
in reply: Cannot accept your sugges-
tion that men resume work with hope
Of future adjustment OF differences.
VIII agree to have conference with rep
resentatives OF coal companies, II the
differences can be settled"
President Mitchell will deliver the
principal address this afternoon at a
mass meeting to be held at Priceburg,
near Scranton. On Saturday he will
go to New York, where he will speak in
the evening at the open-ar mass meet
ing to be held at Madison Square Gar
