Friday at Scranton and, withdrawing
his plea of not guilty, pleaded guilty to
murder, leaving the Judgo to fix the

C. Orion Stroh, a young member of
iho uaruuu uustico ot me i-cace, is aiso
secretary of the Borough Council, and
certain street market rents collected by
Market Clerk Nathan Fegley were paid
to him from time to time, for which he
gavo receipts. Burges9 Rex for some
time past suspected something wrong,
as tho amounts received woro less than
he thought they should be. Fegley Is
a faithful but uneducated man and
hardly able to read writing. Yet. being
provided with ready printed receipts or
tickets, he performed his duties very
well, and, havine entire faith In Secretary
Stroh, he never attempted to read tho
receipts. Recently ho counted the
money In the presence of a friend before
paying It to Secretary Stroh. and after
wards tho friend happened to see tbo
receipt and called his attention to tho
tact that It was for five dollars less than
the amount he saw counted.
The matter was reported to Burgess
Rex, who. with Councilman A. W.
Butler, cashier of the First National
Bank, resolved upon an effort to detect
the frauds, If any, and becoming fully
satisneu mat snoit receipts have been
given very frequently for ovor a year
past, the difference amounting to four
or five hundred dollars, they required
Stroh to appear In Mr. Craig's law ofllce,
where, he soon confessed the embezzle
ment. and before leaving ho was required
to resign bis office and give a judgment
bond binding all his property for the
prompt payment of his Indebtedness to
the borough A warrant for his arrest
was also Issued, but tho firstobject being
to secure the borough it has not yet been
served, but held under advisement. The
matter has created much excitement In
town.
Lateii: Attorney Chas. Orion Stroh
was arrested Monday morning at his
own request. The warrant was served
by Ofliccr John Painter. Mr. Stroh was
taken before Justlco J. J. Boyle, where
he entered ball to thu amount of $1,000
for bis appearance at tbo next term of

Knocked Sonseless and Bobbed.
une ot tne boldest crimes ever com
mitted In Allentown was perpetrated
Tuesday morning. Shortly beforn six
o'clock Charles E. Christ, a well
known citizen, lelt his house to deliver
orders for coal to the party for whom he
collected bills and solicited orders.
When less than one hundred feet from
the house he was approached from the
.rear and knocked senseless to the pave
ment, where his assailant rilled his
pockets of $110 and a gold watch. Ten
minutes later a neighbor on his way to
work found Mr. Christ lying unconscious
on the walk. He was taken to his homo
and presently regained consciousness
and was able to relate the particulars of
tne assault, no sudden was the attack
that lie could not get a look at the
villain.

occupied the attention of the Luzerne
county courts for the past seven days Is

degree and that the murderers, Freder
ick Walter, Charles Sharpo and Henry
Close, were equally guilty. The prison
ers will be sentenc;d on Saturday. The

victed was the wavlavlnc and killing of
Charles Tischer on the night of October
iijin last.
The Coal Trade.
The condition of the anthracite coal
trade has remained unchanged since our
last report, and it is without any new or
especially noteworthy feature. During
the past two weeks the officials of the
several coal carrying companies have
been comparing points and sounding
each other as to what their respective
companies expect in the way of percent
ages of whatever amount of production
may be agreed upon for this year. Some
ot them have also had Informal talks
about a plan for the conduct of the an
thracite coal trade for the season of
1880, but, so far as wo have been able
to learn, after careful Inquiry of reliable
sources, nothing has yet been arranged,
not even an Informal meeting to discuss
the subject. Coil shipments by water
has been almost entirely suspended dur
ing the past week. Eastern dealers
wbo awaited still lower prices for coal
than the figures ruling during the past
month or two can now get lotw prices,
but no coal owing to tho Impediment to
navlcatlca by Ice.

Fr.011 Henry Ward Bcecher's Sunday
senium: "To all tho young that are
coming Into thlschurch I say. be young,
be gay, be hopeful, be mirthful. If God
has given you a sparkling disposition,
thank God and educate it. While It Is
not tho end of your life to have tho joy
that comes from these qualities it is tho
prlvllego of your life to perform all your
duties under lt3 Influence, and they can
be performed in no other way so well.
The world ueed3 just such a develop
ment of Christianity. The world is full
of sorrow; it needs cheer. It is full of
despondency; it needs hope. It is full
of cowardice; It needs courage. It tra
vails In pain; it wants a healthful at
mosphere, sweet and balmy and radiant.
It wants a sltigluj Christianity. It
wants the messenger of Christ to bo a
light-bearer and no man has a right to
make himself a dark lantern to go home
and open the light to himself and fami
ly alone. They that carry a burdon
some, woe smitten face dishonor God.
It is contrary to nis saying. It Is say
ing substantially to the world that all
hope, all the promise of tho divine pres
ence, all the love which Is poured like
an atmosphere around about us every
day from the bosom of Jesus Chiist, is
false nnd wrong. The man that carries
a doubting, wearied saddened face mis
interprets the religion of Christ."
Sixty years ago, Daniel Webster,
speaking at Charleston, declared that
"we have acomincrcc that leaves nosca
unexplored; navies wliich will taks no
law from superior force." But now the
Secretary of the National Board of
Trade says that unless adequate meas
ures of relief are promptly taken wo
may toon have "tiocairylng trado what
ever upon any ocean;" while Secretary
Whitney has declared in his official re
port that wc have not one modern fight
ing shlu. In threo score years we havo
made great advances, but In some mat
tors wo have as greatly retrograded.
