noon, and was attended by a largo num.
ber of friends. Deceased was a mem
ber of tho 28th Pa. volunteers, and In
consequence many of tho old soldiers
accompanied his remains to their last
resting place.
A remarkable caso In slander was
tried ou Wednesday afternoon, before
Arbitrators ot tho Hroadway House.
Tho case was a smutty one, aud we aro
astonished that such ciues aro brought
before tho public. Yet when persons
ill Insist In slandering otners wo lie-
lieve they should be punished to tho
full extent of the law. Ill this case no
verdict was rendered up to writing, but
we believo the aibltrators will return a
verdict of no .pause of action.
Mr. Tropp, butcher, of Welssport,
met with what might havo been a seri
ous accident ou Friday last. Tho facts
as near as wo could learn tneni aro as
follows : Mr. T Lad driven to tho L.
& S. depot for a friend, and while
waiting for tlio train an engluo eamo
along which blow Its whistle, thereby
frighteulng tho horse anil causing it to
run away. The horse However did not
run far until it was stopped, but not
until it had torn lose from tho wagon
and damaged tho harness. Mr. T. sus
tained several injuries, but in uo way
seiiou.
A tramp who gave his name as Mc
Donald, was arrested on Tuesday

belonging to Mr. Frisblo's father. Tha
tramp entered tho house by tho back
way, secured Ills booty aud was not
dliturbed till ho got on Hlgh-ft., when
he was captured ami lodged In jail. This
was not forging a noto or stealing sev
eral hundred dollars worth of goods
and yot because ho was a tramp ho was
put in prison, winio tnoso oilier gentle
men are as free as those wlio never
cotumlttde n crime.
Mr. E. narlan, who died at his home
on Raco street, on Thursday of last
week, was burled on Sunday afternoon
at 2 o'clock. Tlio funeral was a very
largo one, In fact tho largest wo over
saw In Mauch Chunk. Four orders to
which Mr. Harlan belonged followed
his remains to tho gravo, viz : Masons,
Odd Fellows, American Mechanics and
Knights of Honor. It seemed that
every man In town was In Ola bo long
was tho procession, Iho Masons per
formed tbo ceromonles at tho grave, at
tho conclusion of which other orders
followed In file and dropped green
twigs Into tho gravo. In tho evening
Rev. Mr. Wiggins, of tho M. E. church,
preached the funeral sermon. The
church was crowded.
Last Saturday tho Commissioners
mot and resolved to put an end to a lit
tle matter which has been In contcmpla-
tie matter n
ion for tho
bar In the C
order to glv
ployed In
ion for the last year, vii : to havo the
Court nouso reraoddieu, in
re room to tho lawyers em
ployed In tho various cases. The
chance in the bar wad greatly needed
and will keep all outside who arts not
members and officers ot tho Court.
Heretofore when a lawyer arose to ad
dress the Jury or even got a few Bhcets
of paper, some one with more brass
than codesty, took his chair and left
him to stand or do the best he could.
In other counties no ono Is admitted
inside the bar unless a member or offi
cer, and wo think It should bo so here,
( Is like every one loafing in another's
office.
"Murder will out," is an old and true
saying. Our popular druggists, Hughes
and MacCrea, for the last six weekB
ware missing various articles from their
show case. They were positive some
one wae stealing their goods, but who
tho Individual was, was a mystery to
them. For moro than five weeks, ever
since the first missing of the gcods,
have they been on the lookout for the
thief. It was not until Sunday night
at one o'clock that the perpetrator was
detected and followed to his office,
where he was about to begin his day's
work. The person w bo was so low in
tho scale of honesty as to indulge
in such petty stealing was a Mr. Sel
bert, externally a gentleman. He was
employed by the L. Sc 8. railroad com
pany and by profession an operator.
He Is married and he and bis wife board,
ed at tho American Hotel. When
first -broached ou the subject ot his
stealing he was somewhat reluctant In
confessing but finally sucurabed. Tbo
evidence was too strong against him.
Articles were found and Identified
which 1)0 had already put up In pack-'
ages reaty to shin pff. Iu (his way
from tlmo to tlmo were,all tho nrltcles
sent way to fiiends and sold to differ
ent parties. Hughes and MacCrea
settled tho case with him on tho condi
tions that ho would glvo his gold watch
as satisfaction and leavo town as booh
as be could pack bis goods. Wo believo
ho has packed up and left town for his
former homo ot Altoona, Pa. Wo have
only to say that It Is our Impression
that tills Individual should have been
put In Jail lo await his trial at the bar
of Justice. Thero Is too mnch ettllng
of cases, which wo are Inclined to think
tinges strongly of compounding of fel
ony Public Snlea.

The Coal Trnile.
The niitlirnilto coal trade Is nnnsunlly qnet,
and lias stood in the eamo Inactive condition for
tbo past two or threo weeks. Tho lai go stock
of coal on tbenniket renders It qnlto certain
that thero will bo no acareltv, oven with eevero
weather for the romamder of the winter, now
nenrlv half gono. The trouble Just now beEln
nlng to be expressed Is a scarcity ot ice. The
season of production of that summer luxury la
fust passing away, nnd.uultke tle winter necea
elty of fuel, It cau be obtained uuly In Its prop,
or season. There la tlmo enough yet, however,
for the manufacture of macluce, and wo have
nearly or quiet passed tho period of fenrot a
wnntoffuel. Tho Combination Committee on
rules for the rexulatioii of the business of 1678
has not yet repotted, although It Is said to have
had numerous sessions. Iho outlook of the
trade tor the next vear cm as jet acarcery be
divined, though the operators, as well Ri tha
carrying companies, aie hopeful, Thepiesent
stock of coil, It Is expected, will be pretty well
worked off before the per lod usual for the open
lug ol tho next yeai's traftto, and as the annual

about Lehighton, Welssport and Packerton.
busplclon has rested on several parlies, and
Houuay ono of those was ariested, though not
for any ot these offences, but for another, that
of stealing tho keys ot tho switch-tender at the
Lohlgh Oap, Mr. Lewis P. Pcter.. On Monday,
Jan. 3rd, at 8 p. in., Mrs. PotcrB, who was at tho
time attending to some wor on the second
floor, heard tho light footstopa of Borne ono in
tbo bar-room below. Bue lnimedlawly left her
work and came down to aeo who It was, but on
onterlng tho bar-room found uo one thero. Mr,
Peters eamo In shortly after and having oc
casion to look for his keya which hs carried in
his overcoat, diBCovortxl that both coat and kej s
wore gono, It wai Immediately euspected that
they woio btolen. and as tho keys in the hauua
of a dishonest person would onuulo him to do
consldeiable mischief, giving bun accees to all
the freight cars, careful search for Iho thief
was at once Instituted. Tho facts were mouo
known to that vigilant and careful oUlolul. M r,
1). Primmer, whohaacnargeottheuiia of the
Lehigh Valley rauioad. lie at once proceeded
to Investigate tho matter, aud alter consider

Dfluharo. Mr. Trimmer aworo out a warrant
bilorc justice Moycr. of South llcttilehem.took
It to Caroou county, where he had It renewed,
and caused tho aneat ot young Uenhard. lien
hard at tlrt denied all knowledge of Iho Uieft
aud told Mr. Tilinuicr that hu wasn't blunt,
enough lor him. liut when ho discovered that
hu "goings ouu comings" for the last week wet e
peifectiy kuowu to Mr. 'lnmmer he coutesed
that tha gooda wero In his possession ana de
livered taeui uu to this gentleman, ouuir
Iieuhard'a stories aro very contradictory, llo
Insists now that the artioics wero eto.eu by a
man named Jas. B. Butler, lroru IudiauapoUs,

aud toat he naa paid two dollars to take care ot
them, llo ayB this llat.er operates aloug the
Baltimore and Uhlo lUUread. aud Las any

Uo conieasua amo that he kuew they wero

before that he would steal them lie was

and committed. In default of ball.
Whether tlus Biory about thla Uutler with

but Uie story Is of fujcp a pnatacter as would
hardly enter Into tht) mind of euch an Ignuraut

baaia whereon to reat tho atory, and wo thlna it
were wise lo Investigate the matter a uttlo
closer. The offlcera ol that road no doubt know
wuether there are any keys missing with them,
and also whether any cars have been openrd
and vooda taken tneretrom, and ny writing to
them this could be ascertained. It la possible
that there Is a gang of thlevea operating in this
wise, and my bo young DenhardW a new re
