On Sittirdat evening t.he north end of
this Borough was thrown Into great excite
ment by the report that tba bright little
eight-year old daughter of W. S. Kuhns
had been outraged bv Jack McQuate, a
moulder employed by the Lehigh Stove
and Manufacturing Company, In this
Borough. When the father of tho ltttlo
girl beatd of tbe dastardly attempt ho Im
mediately went before 'Saiilre Beltz and
made the fo lowing deposition:
"That on Saturday evening, being the
19th day of October) 1889, Inland near the
said Borough Jack McQuate. a moulder
who Is about 50 years old, did cntloe Crlssle
Kuhns, deponents daughter, who Is but a
Utile over 8 years of age, to a place near
tho Central R. II. ofN. J and there
feloniously did by violence assault ber, the
said Cnssie Kuhns, with attempt to com
mit rapo and murder. And that he be-
lieves tho said Jack JfcQuato would have
murdered, tho said Crlssle Kuhns and
thrown her on tho railroad If he had not
been disturbed by two certain railroad
men who,.on their way homo from work,
caught him, tho said Jack McQuate, in the
act, and further dopenent saith not."
A warrant was sworn out an3 McQuate
was arrested on Sunday afternoon between
three and four o'clock by Policeman
Wcldaw and taken before 'Squlro Ileltz for
Identification.
When little Crlssle Kuhns was asked to
Identify tho prlssnei sho said, "Yes, sir,
that Is tho man."
McQuate was taken to Mauch Chunk
and lodged in jail, and on Monday after
noon brought down and glyen a hearing;
the evidence of several witnesses and the
statement, of little Crlssle, who says
"JcQuate enticed her over near tho rail
road and offered her a quarter not to make
anynolso; ho then threw himself down and
pulled heron top of blm." Just at this tlmo
two railroad .men, who were on the way to
their homes In Packerton, happened along
and McQuato relinoutshed his hold upon her
and thus the timely appearance of these
two men upon tho scene prevented tbe
consummation of bis hellish designs. In
default of $1,000 ball AfcQuato was com
mitted to jail.

Quint,
Low PriceM for Coal.
A special despatch from Pottsvllle, dated on
the 20th Inst., says i Very low prices for anthra
cite coal and decreased wages for tbe miners Is
the situation In the coal basins for the rest of
the year. It Is almost Impossible to sell ordin
ary sizes of coal at any price. In previous
years there was always an advance ot to per
cent made In the autumuand another advance
when winter set In, but this year Is a notable
exception, The summer schedule ot prices stIU
prevails and, n all probability, will continue
for the rest of tbe year. All companies have
agieed on a policy of restricting mining. This
has betn going on tor some time, and yet the
quantity of coal at tidewater has rapidly ac
cumulated. The October production may fall short 700,000
tons all told as compared with tbe production
In October of last year. The total falling off for
the busluess year may reach 3 000,000 tons, re
resentlug a drop from ss.ooo.ooo to S5,ooo,ooo
tons. The Reading Railroad Company will keen
about a dozen ot Its lesser collieries to Idleness
for a short time and In the meantime much
needed repairs will be made.
The iudlvldual mine operators are Informed
that there Is a scarcity ot empty roal cars. Tbls
tneans that long sidings all along tbe line are
vU (tiled with big roal trains and that they will
I lie there rather than dump their cargoes at
tidewater, thereby showing a tremendous stock
on baud. The coal companies claim, however,
that anthracite will not be sold any cheaper
this winter. The middlemen are the gainers by
this most unusual condition of the coal trade.
Miners set lower wages, tbo producers bave
very little pront,whlle tho consumer pays about
the same retail rates as be did last year tit this
time, when the wholesale price or coal was
higher by at least 20 per cent.
The Ulllard Murderor.
During the trial of William II. Bartholomew,
at ltaston, for the murder of A. W. Dlllard, of
Northampton county, on Monday, Mrs. Dlllard",
accused ot being an accomplice, Interrupted tho
proceedings by confessing to the plot that ended
In the death other husband: The following Is
the Incrummlnatlng confession 1
Mrs. Dlllard took the stand when all pictlmln
arlcs wero finished and began her confession,
She was dressed In black, had on a new black
bonnet and a short black veil. This was thrown
back over her bonnet. Her thin sharp unaltrac
tlvo features were cleaily revealed, a whlto pallor
serving to bring out the lines on her face with
much distinctness. At times she spoke rapidly
and plainly. Again, she could hardly be heard
and her answers came only after many repetl
Hons of tho question. She frequently looked at
her' counsel for encouraging nods before an
swering.
She said:
"Daitholon-ew was at tho house tho night be
fore the murder, took my husband's gun; re
moved tho firing pin, and told me when the
chickens made a noise the next night I should
rouse my husband, tell him to go out, raise his
lantern at tho big cherry tree and he would then
shoot him. T he next night when I heard thn
chickens I carried out Instructions. I did not
see Bnrtholowew. When my lmihaiul went out
of the house, after dressing Jakeyand I followed
until ho told us to go back. We did so, and
then I told Dlllard to ratso tho lantem and look
Into the tree He did this. His lantern went
out. I heard a grunting kind ot noise, and soon
after I saw niv husband stumbling to the porch,
where ho fell dead."
Mrs. Dlllard, as she has dene all along, In
elated that she did not hear the report otthe
murdeier's gun. Jakey Dlllard sworn to the
same thing, alio admitted that she and
Bartholomew had been Intimate while they lived
near Bartholomew's and since they moved to
their place, three miles from where Bartholo
mew lived.
She said: "Bartholomew bad spoken to me a
few weeks before about killing my husband.
tie said he did not want us to move away; that
he liked me and wanted me for himself. I said
you have a homo and children, you should go
there. He said he could not get along with his
children, tie then said he would rent n farm
and we would all live on It. I said he had a
house and he should go and tlvo there. I had
myhuibandand would not leave htm. Bartholo
mew said he would shoot Aaron. Oh, 1 would be
better oft If I had never seen html"
After this the poor woman was led weeping
from tho stand and tho defence rested. The
defense set up an alibi for Bartholomew. Tho
Jury returned a verdict of guilty of murder 111
the first degree against Bartholomew on Tues
day.
Death In an Ore Mine.
We gather the following particulars ot the
death by suffocation of two men In tbe oro
mines at Millport, from Tuesday's. Mauch
Chunk Timtu Frank Boyer and Isaac Koch, ot
Millport, this county, met with a terrible death
by suffocation on Friday night, between ten and
twelve o'clock. Thev were working In the ore
mine of Itutherford Brothers, whloh Is located
near that village. The mine Is operated on tho
principle of a coal mine, and consist of a shaft,
four feet square, sunk to the depth of ono hun
dred and twenty feet. At the bottom ot tbls
shaft they dug a tunnel twelve feet squaraand
four hundred yards long. Boyer and Koch
were working at the end ot this tunnel and
wereovetcome by the foul air and gases which
were confined within these narrow-limits. The
proprietors recognized the danger ot suffocation
and commenced to sink a second shaft at the
end of the tunnel, tor the purpose of ventilation.
They were nearly finished and wero within two
feet of tho unfortunato men, when they were
overcome and rendered unconscious. Koch was
found In a pool of water and Boyer was wedged
under a heavy piece ot timber. Boyer was still
warm and I: Is believed ho could have been re
suscitated If he had not been held fast by tbo
timber, which made his Immediate removal Im
possible. Three shifts ot men are employed In the mine,
and tho men who went to work at midnight
made the ghastly discovery. Boyer leaves a
wife and one son. Koch was a single man.
About twelve years ago the former was a miller
In Slatington.
The calamity has cast a gloom over the corn-
munlty and hundreds of persons visited the
scene ot the accident Saturday,
sober and Industrious men.
